  • Residents would like students in school closer to home

    Can we stand one more letter regarding the Freehold Regional High School District redistricting issue? Over the past several weeks I have read many letters that have covered the spectrum; some informative, some interesting, but most of them have been nasty and directed at the residents of Manalapan and Marlboro.

  • School board has come up short with district decisions

    As a resident of Manalapan for 20 years, and active in school politics for the last decade, I am amazed at what has evolved in our towns.
