To the Editor:

In the spring, I wrote a letter to this paper on the subject of the LBI School District’s plan to enter into a conversation with the borough of Ship Bottom about selling the LBI School to the borough, which would keep the property in community hands. I am happy to report that those discussions are still underway, and that the board of education remains committed to its efforts to bring such a deal to fruition.

I am, however, concerned about the potential deal’s future.
