Make sure your letters include the following:

 

I am            (name)                , from           (town)        and as my elected representative, I want to you to know how I feel about school regionalization:

 

  • I am uncomfortable having       (my school)     being part of a feasibility study. Smaller school districts, under local control, work for New Jersey’s schoolchildren.  Our standardized test scores prove it.

 

  • We are an excellent school and we want to keep it that way. In times of financial turmoil, I oppose state mandated feasibility studies at tax payer expense.

 

  • I am opposed to any sort of forced consolidation beyond the feasibility study. Local communities, such as ours, do not want to lose control over local decisions affecting our children's education.

 

  • You cannot let anyone take our vote away from stopping regionalization. Every citizen deserves the right to vote and we will not stand for our community to be affected this way.
