On Tuesday, March 31st a special meeting is scheduled regarding school consolidation.   The meeting will be held at Centra State Hospital at 7:30 p.m.  This is a topic that is unfamiliar to most of us, and will not only have a major impact on our school environment but our entire community and neighborhoods. While I’m told this issue is in it’s fact-finding, discovery stages it could ultimately become a reality.   For us, that means that the Freehold Twp. school district may merge with Freehold Boro school district, combing schools, students, staff, resources, etc.  Taxes and the real estate market could be greatly impacted by such a decision as well. 

I attended the meeting at Catena school on March 24th and urge everyone to get involved and find out all they can about this possible consolidation at this next meeting. It is  important to attend  to hear the discussions and questions.  We can’t complain about what may happen if we don’t make the committment to hear first hand what is going on and express any concerns you may have. A link with more agenda details is attached for your review.
