The Upper Freehold Regional Board of Education is basing its decision to continue on the middle school path on a 4-year-old demographic study that only projected five years forward.
This year’s growth is significantly lower than the demographic study predicted (2 percent, not 7-8 percent).
Has the board done its due diligence to find out why? The projected opening of the middle school is now three years late, meaning that when it opens it will be seven years since the demographics were last projected.
That leaves a whole lot of unanswered questions for the public to take on blind faith. Because they don’t have good data, they can’t make a sound plan, and we are left in the dark.
