District decides against further exploring switching to Jackson after working out differences
The Lakehurst School District intends to preserve its sending-receiving relationship with Manchester schools after studying whether to move its students to Jackson. After a feasibility study and public meetings on the topic, members of the Lakehurst Board of Education announced Tuesday that it has worked out differences with Manchester and will retain the relationship for the foreseeable future. “Tonight, we’re bringing up our Jackson-Manchester issue that we have been researching. We had a feasibility study done, heard your concerns and questions. We have met with Manchester; they have heard our concerns and questions as well. We have had meetings with them, and they have offered us some new fees,” said board President JoAnn Septor. “I …

Author of report studying the impact of moving Lakehurst kids to Jackson responds to Manchester criticism of estimated cost savings
An author of a study for Lakehurst school officials that included a comparison of tuition rates in Manchester and Jackson has responded to a charge by Manchester's district that it unfairly compared costs. The tuition rate of $14,000 per student used in the Puleio and Strimple Associates and JP Savedoff and Associates school switch feasibility study was provided by Lakehurst administrators, as it is the estimated contracted rate between the districts for the 2012-13 school year, said study author Nicholas Puleio. The study concludes that Lakehurst taxpayers would see a cost savings and possibly greater educational offerings if its students attended high school in Jackson, rather than Manchester. However, Manchester officials said the …

Board of Education members said public comment will help in their decision making
Lakehurst residents expressed concerns that their children and community may suffer if administrators decide to send high school students to Jackson instead of Manchester. The findings of a feasibility study commissioned by the borough's Board of Education was presented at the body's meeting Tuesday night. Though the study indicates that a switch from Manchester to Jackson could save Lakehurst residents on their tax bills without impacting education, many parents in attendance said that they are against the potential change. "Let's not change something that's not broken," said Manapaqua Avenue resident Brenda Applegate, one of many who spoke against the possibility during the meeting's public comment portion. The 52-page report, prepared …

Study, which says Lakehurst students would have more educational opportunities, now available on Lakehurst Board of Education website
Lakehurst students would have a selection of more courses and co-curricular activities and taxpayers would see a "significant" savings should the borough's Board of Education decide to send its high school students to Jackson rather than Manchester, according to a recently released feasibility report. The 52-page report, prepared by Puleio and Strimple Associates and JP Savedoff and Associates, was released on the Lakehurst Board of Education website Monday morning and outlines the impact to Lakehurst, Jackson and Manchester should borough students change schools. The report estimates that over five years Lakehurst would pay Jackson $2,078,170 less in tuition compared to Manchester. If the switch were to happen, Lakehurst, which typically…
