An article regarding the ongoing debate to consolidate the 2 elementary schools on the island. The State of New Jersey will eventually force action, so the hope is that the 2 communities can work together to determine a positive solution.
Back in the dark ages (when I attended Avalon Elementary), new families were moving to town and the school population was growing- even prompting an addition to the school in the early 1970’s. Stone Harbor’s class size has always been smaller than Avalon’s- creating social issues for the students.
Now, both schools rely on tuition students to partially fill the classrooms.Â
The Avalon Land and Homeowners Association has scheduled a meeting on October 7th at 7pm in the Avalon Elementary School- looking for public comment.
