It would seem that an awful lot of folks on Long Beach Island, and even those for whom this is a part-time home, are pretty upset at the news of the Long Beach Island Grade School being sold to a private enterprise and likely meeting the wrecking ball. But to those who are upset about this, you may be looking at it the wrong way.

It should be noted that Ship Bottom’s Land Use Board intends for the property to be designated as “public district.”
