.....and what happens when we DO have snow?? Heaven Forbid.....you mean there may be MORE days of school??
OH the inhunmanity of it all !!! LOL
BRAVO School Board....!!!!!
Now, can we possibly move the school schedules to a normal day like 8-3?....alright maybe that's just too much for our board to handle....
Finally, oh great school board.......can we even dare try to cut the fat? trim the fianancial abuses? the overexpenditures? the cronyism? the nepotism???
Just something to think about, oh great and perfect Board

Thank God the schools are closed two days for the NJEA convention. Now all the teachers can make their vacation plans. TR is crawling with teachers and in my 12 years of living here I have never met one who actually attends the convention. I would love to hear from the teachers on the patch...do any of you actually attend this convention? If not, than why do we close school? Maybe we should just call this what it is...."teacher's union 4 day weekend" Since hardly any teacher's attend why not keep the schools open and have substitute teachers for the 10 teacher's in the TR District that actually attend.

Now let's review the bus situation......oh, you MUST mean that system which drops off the kids RIGHT at their homes....God forbid these young adults should actually WALK a few blocks!!!! Child Obesity in Ocean County....??? NO, NOT HERE!!!!!!!

I find it odd that there's a professional day the Tuesday before Teacher's Convention. So that means the schools are open Monday and Wednesday that week according to the calendar. Seems a little odd. Why not schedule the professional day for Wednesday?

Thank you Joseph!!! I thought that I was the only one who thought that having the kids go to school on Monday be off on Tuesday and the open again on Wednesday and closed for the long weekend was really stupid. Wouldn't it be more cost effective for the schools to be open on Monday and Tuesday and then close the schools for the three days? Just take a look at the energy bills. And, then again it would make the teachers happy because they would have a week off and they could go away for a mini vacation and it cost them non of their personal days off.

THe 6th of November is Election Day..the schools are closed because they are usually polling places

I wouldn't have minded letting my kids walk to school if more drivers in Ocean Co. woke up to the fact that pedestrians have the right of way. Can't tell you how many times we've almost been hit by idiots turning and not letting people cross safely. And let's use a commentary area for another attack on that evil teachers' union. Pulease! True, not every teacher is great, but the majority of them earn every penny they make.

November 6th is election day, the day we get to go and vote down the school budget....ohhh wait....we no longer have any say in the budget unless it goes over the cap, which gives them about 3 million they can raise the budget every year with noone to stop them....moving the school election was a great idea
