Community Corner
Thanks Elks Club,
The meeting today about the drug problem here in Ocean county was very informative. The mayor and Chief of police spoke and seem committed to stopping the drug craze here in town. The Ocean County Prosecutor spoke and also gave a wealth of information out.The plan seems good. Now I will say I am ashamed to live here in Brick and have a child in the school system here. During question period of the meeting I asked if our BOE, teachers, administrators, PTA's and PTO's were invited to this meeting. The answer was YES. Everyone was invited by e-mail. NOT ONE was there. Not one principal, BOE member, teacher, PTA or PTO no clubs from any of our schools. There was a bus driver there but he was not there to represent the transportation department. Really is it so much to ask to pick one or two people from each school to represent? One PTA or PTO member from each a BOE member? Shameful display of a community in crisis.
