"These studies are in turmoil." That is a direct quote from someone who knows!
Feasability studies for Consolidation are due to be reviewed March 2010, problem is, bids aren't even in yet. We will be lucky to see a feasibility study by 2014, yet Ritacco is pushing, pushing, pushing for shared services with Island Heights. Why? Because he wants to be a common factor with Island Heights Grade School.

The regs. for shared services and consolidation are *supposed to look at consolidating schools that have a relationship, such as the relationship Island Heights has with Central Regional. Island Heights has NO relationship with Toms River at all, that is what Ritacco is trying to establish with his shared services proposal. He is trying to find a way to steal our school out from under us.

If we begin a shared services agreement with Toms River to use Ritacco as our Superintendent then he in essence becomes the decision maker for our district, pretty sneaky of him. Not at all surprising and actually pretty characteristic of this man.

There are legal issues, contractual issues, legislative issues and financial issues that all block the way for Consolidation. This entire proposal may crash and burn, we can only hope.

I will continue to fight and to educate everyone I can on this matter. A wise person said to me today, "Bring the Vampires into the light, and they will crumble." Michael Ritacco is our Vampire, lets bring him into the light.
