TOMS RIVER – District officials will be spreading information about what might happen if the Toms River Regional School District takes in all Seaside Heights students now that the state has approved their April 16 referendum.
School officials will be on hand at three schools to provide information and answer questions about the proposed regionalization.
They will be at High School North’s Maria Ressa Auditorium (not the RWJBarnabus Health Arena), 1245 Old Freehold Road, at 6 p.m. on March 18; Intermediate South’s cafetorium, 1675 Pinewald Road, at 6 p.m. on March 19; and High School East’s gym, 1225 Raider Way, at 6 p.m. on March 21.
Furthermore, there will be a Board of Education meeting March 20 at 7:30 at High School North’s auditorium.
A referendum is a special election. Residents in Toms River, Beachwood, Pine Beach, and South Toms River will be voting.
The Seaside kids go to the Hugh J. Boyd Jr. School for kindergarten through 6th, and then go to Central Regional for middle and high school. Seaside residents and teachers were worried that Boyd would close. However, a new proposition has Boyd staying open. It would be a similar arrangement to other towns in the region – Beachwood, Pine Beach, and South Toms River – that each have an elementary school.
