Taxes could increase! It is said you could save money, however in the feasibility study, it states "Moving Seaside Heights into The Toms River District would cause property tax increases if it is done either as a share of equalized property or on a per-student share." On the other hand, if "a transitional allocation method" they could save money. So, this means if the vote is passed, it is uncertain what the tax impact would be. Also, keep in mind, that the town has said it would use the school to convert it into a municipality building. Who knows what this could cost taxpayers?

Schools often play a significant role in property values within a community. Closing a local school and regionalizing education could potentially affect property values in the area, as the appeal of living in a community with a nearby school might decrease.

No student or families of the students want their school to close. You can support them by voting no and allowing them to have their school. Our population benefits greatly from a walking district to drop off and pick up their kids. The small school allows for smaller class sizes for students to achieve more in school.
