To the Editor:

As lifelong residents of our beloved island and both former school board members, we are writing to express our deep concern and opposition to the proposed demolition of Long Beach Island Grade School to make way for a housing development. This plan not only threatens to erase another cherished landmark but also presents several other issues that could negatively impact the quality of life on Long Beach Island.

This historic elementary school has been a cornerstone of our community for generations.
