County memorial honors fallen law enforcement officers

he names of 22 law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty in Monmouth County are now enshrined in a newly installed memorial outside the headquarters of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office in Freehold Township. The Law Enforcement Memorial is a lasting reminder of the sacrifices made for public safety, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said during a May 19 ceremony. “We gather here today to honor the memory and mourn the terrible loss of 22 brave Americans who put on a uniform and answered the call, giving their lives in the performance of their sworn duties. “Each died under different circumstances, but all had one common thread – the call to duty. Each understood the risks of heeding that call, but never shied away, even as their loved ones worried at home,” he said. Gramiccioni was joined at the dedication by surviving family members of the men and women whose names are etched on the memorial, according to a press release. The line of duty deaths of the officers honored on the memorial span more than 122 years, beginning in 1899. Each officer’s name, agency and date of their death, referred to as their “End of Watch” (EOW) are etched into the black granite stone. The memorial is made of two tiers of black granite and includes a fountain of water that creates a soothing waterfall. The top face of the memorial is surrounded by an etching of the shoulder patch for every law enforcement agency in Monmouth County.

Law enforcement officials have unveiled a memorial outside the headquarters of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office in Freehold Township which contains the names of 22 law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty in Monmouth County.

On the north side of the memorial, along its base, are the 22 names of the individual officers who died in the line of duty, according to the press release. The memorial will serve as a peaceful place for the family members of those who died and for their fellow officers to reflect upon and honor their sacrifices: • Constable James Walsh, Red Bank Police Department, was attempting an arrest when he was shot by a suspect. EOW: Nov. 13, 1899; • Patrolman Charles Franklin Lippin-

cott, Asbury Park Police Department, and another ofﬁcer were directed to handle a report of a husband threatening to kill his wife. Upon arrival, Lippincott ordered the husband to halt. The accused individual appeared willing to surrender. When Lippincott placed his hand on the suspect’s shoulder, the suspect pulled a concealed weapon and fatally shot the ofﬁcer in the chest. EOW: Dec. 10, 1911; • Patrolman Herman Kohler Emmons, Long Branch Police Department, was shot

and killed by a suspect while attempting to place the suspect under arrest. EOW: Dec. 17, 1921; • Trooper William H. Marshall, New Jersey State Police, was killed in a motorcycle accident while on patrol. He had been with the agency for just over two years. EOW: Dec. 12, 1923; • Trooper Herman Gloor Jr., New Jersey State Police, was killed in a motorcycle accident while on patrol. He had been with

Daughter of ‘Hidden Figures’ mathematician speaks of mom’s career By ALYSSA BIEDERMAN

REGIONAL INTEREST

Staff Writer/The Sun

atherine Johnson took her last flight into space on Feb. 20. The S.S. Katherine Johnson, a supply satellite currently docked at the International Space Station, was named for the late NASA mathematician who was featured in the film “Hidden Figures.” On Earth, Johnson’s incredible life and career are celebrated by many people, but especially by her daughter, Joylette Hylick, a Mount Laurel resident who recently spoke about her mom’s autobiography in a virtual event for the Burlington County Library System. “Mom remained to the very end the same person I described before, all her life. She was still funny, pleasant, bright, thoughtful and humble,” Hylick told about 80 people who viewed the event. Johnson, 101, died on Feb. 24, 2020. Johnson was one of the first Black women hired by NASA as a mathematician. She helped to put the first American into space and to send Apollo vehicles to the moon. In 2015, Johnson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama.

Katherine Johnson

Joylette Hylick

Johnson was reportedly called “the girl” by astronaut John Glenn, who refused to fly until the math that was used to coordinate his flight on Friendship 7 in 1962 had been verified by her. “Many have asked me over the years if John Glenn ever knew my name,” Hylick read from her mother’s memoir, “My Remarkable Journey.” “Who knows? It didn’t matter to me then and it doesn’t matter now. It was enough for me that I knew when he needed ‘the girl’ to boost his confidence that he could entrust his life to the heavens, and get him back home. I was that girl,” Johnson wrote. Hylick herself became “the girl” as she

followed in her mother’s footsteps with roles at NASA and at Lockheed Martin before her retirement. She said although her mother did not push math in her family, the lessons Hylick learned from Johnson carried her throughout her life and career. According to Hylick, Johnson’s keys to life start with a simple one: “Always do your best.” Her other advice included “Accept the help you’re given, help others when you can and you’re no better, you’re no worse.” Johnson graduated from college in 1937 at the age of 18. In 1939, she was one of the ﬁrst Black students to enroll in a graduate program at West Virginia University, integrating the school. When she was hired to work at NASA, Johnson had to use a segregated restroom and cafeteria. Hylick said although her mother was required to use segregated facilities, she is sure her mom just used whatever bathroom was closer. At lunch, Johsnon played bridge with NASA engineers.

“My doctor once told me, ‘Your mom is a genius, and geniuses never think they are doing anything extraordinary,’ ” Hylick remembered. “But everyone else does.” In 2017, NASA hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new building at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., that was named the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility. “Mom whispered to me, ‘It would have been nice to have it named after the team,’ ” Hylick recalled. “She never tried to draw attention. It was always about all of them.” When Johnson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, she glowed after Obama planted a kiss on her cheek. “And then she said she wished she could talk to him about how they are teaching children, because she said it ain’t good,” Hylick remembered with a laugh. Hylick speaks regularly at elementary schools, where she said her mother’s story makes an impact on young students who have big goals. “Have a dream and stay with it,” Hylick said. “Go for what you love to do and just keep working at it.”

VNA Community Health Centers offer healthcare to artists, musicians The VNA of Central Jersey Community Health Centers (VNACJ-CHC) is offering primary healthcare and dental services to the women, men and others who make the Jersey Shore rock. Christopher Rinn, CEO of the health centers, announced his organization’s commitment to the health and well being of artists and musicians during the Asbury Band Aid digital concert beneﬁt for musicians of the Jersey Shore on April 20 at the Stone Pony is Asbury Park. The concert was sponsored by the Vin Gopal Civic Association and the Stone Pony, according to a press release. “The Community Health Center stands with our artists and musicians. We are here to help you. If you are in need of primary care, dental, or other health services, but have trouble paying, are uninsured or under-insured please contact the Community Health Center,” Rinn said. “Over here on E Street, we are proud to support the Community Health Center and their essential work for our Jersey Shore artists and musicians,” Bruce Springsteen was quoted as saying in the press release in declaring his

support of the healthy artists and musicians initiative. “The VNA Community Health Center is a wonderful organization that has helped many people, including friends and employees,” said Caroline O’Toole, general manager of the Stone Pony. “We are proud to partner with them in promoting the health and well-being of musicians, artists and those who work in the industry,” she said. “Access to healthcare is critical for the health and wellbeing of New Jerseyans,” said Gov. Phil Murphy. “This VNA Community Health Center initiative will help eliminate healthcare cost and access barriers for those who may be uninsured or under-insured in our arts community. “I applaud VNA for this program and for keeping the Jersey Shore healthy, and rocking. I also encourage those who are uninsured or under-insured to go to Get Covered NJ to learn more about affordable coverage options,” the Governor said. The VNACJ-CHC provides primary healthcare for individuals and families at its four centers in Monmouth

County — Asbury Park, Freehold Borough, Keyport and Red Bank. They serve all individuals without discrimination and regardless of the patient’s ability to pay, according to the press release. The CHC remained open throughout the coronavirus pandemic to ensure that the vulnerable population it serves had access to healthcare. In 2020, the agency completed 45,000 patient visits, in person and telehealth, for 14,000 Monmouth County residents, according to the press release. Since late December through the third week of May, the CHC and its partners had administered more than 63,000 coronavirus vaccines. “Summer is coming,” Rinn said, “and the Jersey Shore is going to rock this year. We all need our musicians healthy to heal us and to celebrate our coming out of the most difﬁcult year most of us have ever experienced and hopefully ever will.” Artists and musicians in need of affordable health or dental care may call 732-774-6333 for more information.

Howell moves to ban production, sale of cannabis in town By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL – On June 15, members of the public are expected to have a chance to voice their opinions on an ordinance that would, if adopted by the Howell Township Council, prohibit cannabis businesses from operating in the township. During a meeting on May 25, Deputy Mayor Thomas Russo, Councilman John Bonevich, Councilwoman Pamela Richmond and Councilwoman Evelyn O’Donnell voted “yes” on a motion to introduce the ordinance. Mayor Theresa Berger was absent from the meeting. The public hearing on the ordinance was scheduled for June 15. In a November 2020 public question, residents of New Jersey voted to legalize adult use (also called recreational) cannabis. In Monmouth County, 244,576 residents voted “yes” and 128,276 residents voted “no” on the legalization question. In the wake of the referendum, state officials have taken steps to enact the cannabis legalization process. Municipal officials now have the option to prohibit or to permit the production and sale of cannabis within their borders. They may not prohibit the delivery of cannabis products in the community. Municipal officials must make a decision by Aug. 21. According to the Howell ordinance, the purpose of the proposed law “is to regulate

the marketplace class of licensed recreational cannabis businesses and to codify a prohibition on all six marketplace classes of cannabis establishments … cannabis cultivator, cannabis manufacturer, cannabis wholesaler, cannabis retailer, cannabis distributor and cannabis delivery service.” The ordinance does not prohibit the delivery of cannabis items and related supplies into Howell by a delivery service that is located outside the township. During public comment, resident Marc Parisi suggested that council members leave the decision to residents, like state ofﬁcials did with the public referendum that was placed on the ballot during the November 2020 general election. “I have a feeling this is going to become politicized and could possibly be used in the (Howell) election next year and I really don’t want to see that happen. … My suggestion would be that the council … put a question on the November ballot and allow residents to vote on whether they want marijuana-related businesses,” Parisi said. He said going that route could be a way of de-politicizing the issue. “I don’t assume every Democrat is for marijuana businesses and I don’t assume every Republican is against marijuana businesses,” Parisi said. Bonevich said he knows that on the November 2020 public question, Howell residents voted 70% to 30% “for marijuana, for dispensaries, for retail; the township

voted for it. But this ordinance is not for that, this is about home rule. “We always complain that Trenton says this, the state says that. The state law (dealing with legalizing cannabis) says we have 180 days to control (cannabis). “If we only want retail or distribution on Route 9, this is our chance to do it. If we don’t do it within 180 days, we could have dispensaries all over the place, next to residential places where we don’t want it,” Bonevich said. The councilman said if retail, consumption and/or cultivation activities related to cannabis are permitted to begin in Howell at locations which are not approved, then without taking action on the proposed ordinance, “we are stuck with it, it gets grandfathered in.” “This is not against, or banning (cannabis), this is just giving us time to zone and this is where it should go and this is where it shouldn’t go. … This ordinance is giving

During the May 25 meeting of the Howell Township Council, resident Kathi Novak asked if any progress had been made on Mayor Theresa Berger’s recent request to her fellow municipal officials that a local ethics board be created. “Is anybody working on it? Is it in the process? What is going on?” Novak asked. Berger was not present at the meeting, but Councilman John Bonevich said that since the mayor had raised the issue, nothing has been put forward to the governing body regarding the formation of a local ethics board. If a Howell ethics board was created, that would be the venue before which residents could file complaints about municipal officials. Township Attorney Joe Clark told Novak that in order to create an ethics board, an ordinance would have to be adopted by the council to staff and to create a budget for the panel. Novak said she has concerns about a councilwoman and about posts she has seen on social media and does not know where to bring her concerns. “If we had an ethics committee or an ethics board I could take it there, but at this point I do not know what do to and it is alarming,” she said. Clark said Novak could email her concerns to him.

A horse had to be put down after it got loose and was struck by a motor vehicle on May 24 in a rural area of Howell. Sgt. Peter Kuppler of the Howell Police Department said a collision involving a motor vehicle and a horse was reported to police via a 911 call at 11:42 p.m. Kuppler said a motorist was traveling on Route 547 (Squankum Road) when the vehicle struck a horse that had apparently gotten loose from a stable at a nearby horse farm. The sergeant said the driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment. Kuppler said that with permission from the animal’s owner, the horse was put down by patrol ofﬁcers.

us home rule and giving Howell control and that’s all it is,” Bonevich said. Township Attorney Joe Clark said if municipal officials “do not move to ban it and we allow all six classes of cannabis establishments to be legal in Howell, we don’t have another opportunity to opt out of that law for five years. “And after that five-year period, even if we do opt out, everything (that exists at that time) will be grandfathered in. So whether we like it or not at that point, we have it. “This way we get to ban it for now and we can revisit it when there are more rules and regulations in place, when we see how other towns are faring with their tax revenue” from cannabis businesses, Clark said. The state statute relating to the legalization of cannabis businesses requires action to be taken by municipalities within 180 days of Feb. 22, 2021, which would be Aug. 21, 2021.

Breen well positioned to repeat as leading trainer at Monmouth Park OCEANPORT – With Hall of Fame trainers Todd Pletcher, Steve Asmussen and Jerry Hollendorfer – along with future Hall of Famer Chad Brown – all having a formidable presence on the Monmouth Park backstretch this summer, it is easy to forget the race for leading trainer honors still goes through Kelly Breen. It did in 2020, when the 52-year-old Breen easily captured his third Monmouth Park trainer’s title, according to a press release from the thoroughbred racetrack. There’s no reason to think things will be any different during Monmouth Park’s 76th season, which opened on May 28. “We do gear up for Monmouth Park,” said Breen. “It goes back to me saying all we can do is continue to work hard and to try to do our best. So much depends on the condition book. I can’t predict how we will do this year because I don’t know how the condition book will play out.

“But we have a good variety of horses, from $5,000 claimers to multiple graded stakes winners. There are probably guys with more well-rounded stables, maybe with more claimers, guys with bigger stables. But we have 40 horses right now that are ready to run. We will just try to put them in the right spots.” Breen’s impact will likely be felt throughout the 53-day meet, since he led all Monmouth Park trainers in 2020 with 117 starters. His 32 winners were nearly double that of runner-up Jose Delgado. That Monmouth Park success was a major factor in a career year for the New Jersey native, who set personal bests in overall wins (84) and starters (418), while producing the second-best earnings year in a career that began in 1992. “Last year was more validation after having built up a public stable after almost 10 years of being a private trainer and not

being out there with multiple horses and this many horses,” said Breen. “It has been a gradual process of evolving. I didn’t always have a big stable after I became a public trainer again. It took a couple of years to get to this point. It took time. But we have a nice, well-rounded stable now.” Breen, who went 14 years between Monmouth Park training titles, again ﬁgures to make an impact when the 2-yearold races start as well. He currently has 15 “babies” with a couple more due in shortly. “The 2-year-old program at Monmouth Park has always been exceptional, so we hope to be a factor in that later in the summer,” he said. Though Breen says his sights are not necessarily set on another Monmouth Park title – “Whatever amount of wins we get, that’s what we’re going to have as a total,” he said – he knows he enters the meet as

the favorite to win the training title. “Not being cocky or anything, but I like to think that when people think of Jersey racing they think of my name,” he said. “I’m a Jersey guy. I grew up here. We have more of a presence in New York than we have had in a while, but Monmouth Park is still home.” In other track news, a variety of local craft beers and a revamped wine list are among the new food and beverage options Monmouth Park will be offering this year. New Jersey craft beers from Screamin Hill, Toms River, Ross and Kane breweries will be featured throughout the live thoroughbred racing season in Grandstand Level 1 Trackside. Wine connoisseurs will ﬁnd a new list of offerings in the Dining Club, parterres and at Lady’s Secret Café. For the ﬁrst time, New Jersey-based winery Cedar Rose will be represented at the track.

Switlik school earns national Green Ribbon award By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

JACKSON – The Switlik Elementary School in Jackson has earned the national Green Ribbon award from the U.S. Department of Education. The award was announced on April 22. In a message posted on the Jackson School District website, administrators said they were “proud to share that the U.S. Department of Education announced that the Switlik Elementary School has earned the department’s Green Ribbon award for its innovative efforts to reduce environmental impacts and utility costs, improve health and wellness, and ensure effective sustainability education. The school is one of only two in New Jersey to win this award.” Superintendent of Schools Nicole Pormilli said, “This is an incredible accomplishment and one that is so meaningful because it was earned through the collaboration of so many people within the Switlik school community and the district. “We are so proud of Switlik and of all the students, staff and administrators who work hard every day to ensure we are finding ways to care for our planet and each other,” she said. The Switlik school was cited for its behavior-based energy conservation and facilities improvements, which reduced energy consumption by 16%. This equates to $2.5 million in savings in the past four years and an Energy Star rating of 96. The school’s administration received a $10,000 Sustainable Jersey for Schools grant to construct a greenhouse and installed two water bottle filling stations, averting the use of 18,000 plastic water bottles to date. Principal Kathleen McKiernan said the award was the result of a team effort. “This is a wonderful building, with wonderful people, and I could not be more proud of them. Switlik is filled with such

passionate and committed educators, staff and students, and any positive light that shines on them is much deserved and appreciated,” she said. Pormilli said she is thrilled the “Green Team” at the Switlik school has been recognized for its passion and commitment to sustainability. She said the projects and initiatives at the school are part of a purposeful and structured school district energy program which focuses on ﬁnding innovative and creative ways to save money and create a culture of responsibility and accountability throughout the district. “This national recognition caps off a banner year for us. A month ago we earned a $1.1 million grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to purchase two electric-powered garbage trucks that were sorely needed, and we receive annual recognition in the Sustainable Jersey for Schools program for our programs. We are very proud of all we have going on in our energy program,” Pormilli said. According to district administrators, initiatives in the Jackson School District’s energy program include: • The implementation of a district-wide $27 million Energy Savings Improvement Project (ESIP) funded by energy savings; • Participating in a demand response program that is generating approximately $84,000 in revenue this year; • Holding two reverse energy auctions to secure the lowest cost for electricity and natural gas. The result was a 2-cent per kilowatt savings and the stabilization of natural gas pricing; • As part of the ESIP program, the school district reduces its carbon footprint by replacing outdated equipment and has instituted solar energy generation at 10 additional locations; • Seven schools are bronze certiﬁed,

and the Elms Elementary School and Jackson Liberty High School are silver certiﬁed through the Sustainable Jersey for Schools program. The school district has received 18 grants through its participation in the program;

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 BMW X5 xdrive45e

f you ask me what my favorite car to drive is, I would have to confess, it’s a BMW. I sold Mercedes for several years, so that confession doesn’t come easy. But, as far as pure driving ability and nothing else, BMW fits what I like to feel when I’m behind the wheel. BMWs are engineered to be driven hard, almost aggressively; their handling is spot on and you can drive most of their models at high speeds and still feel you have a very secure command of the vehicle. I also like the way the suspensions of almost all of the BMW models I have ever driven are set up. They are designed to allow you to feel the road under you while you drive, giving you a real sense of control. I am not a big Peter Perrotta fan of vehicles that offer up a pillowy suspension that makes you feel like you are driving on a cloud. All that being said, I know there are a lot of you out there who don’t care for BMWs. I had clients when I sold Mercedes and later on when I worked for an all-brands leasing company that hated the ride of the BMW. So, in the end, it’s just a matter of what fits your wants and needs. As we start to transform into a new era of vehicle modes – hybrids, plug-in hybrids and all-electric – it is going to be interesting to see how this power plant transformation affects the traditional way we expect these vehicles to perform. Case in point, I recently jumped behind the wheel of the 2021 BMW X5 xdrive45e – a multi-faceted SUV that can be driven as a hybrid, all-electric or in gas engine mode only – to see if this new PHEV (plug-in hybrid) carries the same pizzaz as what we have come to expect from the traditional BMW. The short answer is yes, for the most part. However, there are some differences that make it feel and sound a whole lot different then what you may be used to from a pure combustible engine BMW. When you first sit behind the wheel of this PHEV X5 and push the start button on

2021 BMW X5 xdrive45e

the center console you will immediately notice the difference; it’s quiet as heck. In fact, it’s so quiet you can’t tell if the engine has started or not. My assumption here is that the hybrid mode – which is the default mode the car drives itself in – puts it in electric mode automatically on start up and it’s not until you really get going and up to speed that the gas engine kicks in. In fact, the only way to tell if the car actually started up successfully is to check on the dash where it will indicate if the car is “off” or “ready” to be driven. Upon initial take off, the PHEV X5 is super quiet as it starts out using the electric motor only until you get up to speed and then the hybrid takes over. If you are a traditional BMW motor head like me, this new phenomena takes a little getting used to, but it’s all good because at the end of the day this SUV still drives spot on just like its predecessors. So the way this thing works is you can choose at start up how or in which mode you want to drive the car. If you do nothing it will automatically be in the hybrid mode. In the hybrid mode the advanced elec-

tronics built into the BMW system will determine for you the most efﬁcient way for it to drive – as an electric, hybrid or all gas. As long as the auxiliary battery is charged – remember this is a plug-in fully chargeable electric as well – you can select the fully electric mode at start up by pushing a button on the center console. And, ﬁnally, if you don’t feel like messing with hybrids or electrics at all, then you can simply put it in “Sport” mode at start up, in which the combustion engine will be engaged only. Powering the new generation PHEV X5 is a 282 horsepower turbo charged 3.0 liter inline six cylinder engine that is paired with a single electric motor that is sandwiched between the engine and the eight speed automatic transmission. The combined power of the gas engine and the electric motor help it produce an impressive 389 horsepower which I found to be more than enough to drive as aggressively as you want around town or on the interstate. More impressively, the whole complicated set up works seamlessly and smoothly, even if it takes a bit to get used to.

The base price of the 2021 BMW X5 xdrive45e is $65,400. My tester version carried a bottom line sticker price with options and destination and delivery of $81,695. Added options included: $4,050 for an executive package; $5,500 for the M Sport Package; $1,700 for the driver assist pro package; $950 for M sport 21-inch wheels and $650 for M Sport brakes. The M Sport package includes a lot of sporty trim and aluminum as well as an upgraded leather. The executive package includes: a panoramic moon roof; rear manual side window shades; 4 zone climate control; heads up display; wireless phone charger; a Wiﬁ hot sport and enhanced blue tooth. Driven on gasoline engine mode only, the EPA estimates this X5 gets about 20 miles per gallon overall with a 50 mpg rating on the combined gas/electric mode. This vehicle has not received the government’s 5-star crash test safety rating yet. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly. He may be contacted at pperrotta@comcast.net

FRHSD board puts $197.7M budget in place for 2021-22 By PETER ELACQUA Staff Writer

The Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education has adopted a $197.7 million budget that will fund the operation of the district for the 2021-22 school year. District administrators said the budget will be supported by the collection of $143.2 million in taxes from residential and commercial property owners in the district’s eight sending municipalities: Colts Neck, Englishtown, Farmingdale, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell, Manalapan and Marlboro. The district operates high schools in Colts Neck, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell, Manalapan and Marlboro. According to budget documents, the district’s enrollment decreased from 10,571

students in October 2019 to 10,376 students in October 2020. The estimated enrollment for October 2021 is 10,276 students. The district’s 2020-21 budget totaled $200.81 million and was supported in part by a tax levy of $140.38 million, according to district administrators. From 2020-21 to 2021-22, total spending is down $3.11 million and the tax levy is up $2.82 million. In 2021-22, under the terms of legislation known as S-2 that was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy in 2018, the district is continuing to see its state aid decrease. State aid to the FRHSD will decrease from $40.73 million in 2020-21 to $34.05 million in 2021-22. The decrease in state aid is expected to continue through the 2024-25 school year. Administrators provided the tax levy that property owners in each sending municipality will pay in the upcoming school

Freehold Regional High School District taxes are one item on a property owner’s tax bill. The total tax bill also includes municipal taxes, local school district taxes and Monmouth County taxes. Assistant Superintendent for Business

Administration Sean Boyce explained that the annual high school district tax rate that is assigned for each sending municipality is determined by a state formula that factors in a municipality’s elementary school enrollment. Boyce said district administrators are pursuing legislative options in an attempt to change the state formula that determines the annual tax rate for each sending municipality. For example, Manalapan and Freehold Township, which will see their Freehold Regional tax rate increase for 2021-22 after several years of a decrease in the tax rate, are both experiencing enrollment decreases at the elementary level, according to Boyce and Superintendent of Schools Charles Sampson. Sampson said that during the current 2020-21 school year, many children who would have been enrolled in their local public school kindergarten program were instead sent to a private kindergarten because private schools were offering in-person instruction as the coronavirus pandemic continued, while many public school districts operated on a remote instructional model. The superintendent said he expects public school kindergarten enrollment to rebound in September when most, if not all, public school districts will be offering in-person instruction. Weiss, who represents Manalapan on the board, and Higley, who represents Freehold Township, both acknowledged those two communities have seen their FRHSD tax rate decrease in recent years. Both board members acknowledged that elementary enrollment is declining in Manalapan and Freehold Township and that the increase in the FRHSD tax rate for their towns for 2021-22 is a result of the state formula and not budget decisions that are made at the local level. In addition to adopting the budget, the board members passed a resolution to eliminate the following positions as a result of a reduction in force: one full-time special education teaching position; one part-time World Language (Mandarin) teaching position; one full-time school psychologist (child study team) position; one full-time social studies teaching position; one fulltime mathematics teaching position; one full-time, 12-month paraprofessional/ Braille transcriber position; six full-time paraprofessionals; and one transportation paraprofessional. The resolution stated that the affected employees would be notiﬁed by the superintendent. – Tri-Town News Managing Editor Mark Rosman contributed to this article.

None sought glory, riches, or their names on billboards or in lights. Their reward came from their pride in service,” the prosecutor said.
