To the Editor:

There has beenmuch attention drawn to the school bond referendum that will be put forth to LBI voters on Sept. 26. Unfortunately, much of the conversation has centered around the sale of the Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom and concerns regarding the future of that property.

While we are empathetic to those concerns, we feel that these conversations have clouded over the most important issue at hand: the future of the LBI Consolidated School District and the welfare of our children.
