Inside The Law
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Students of Jackson Liberty and Jackson Memorial high schools had the option to take part in multiple commencement ceremonies. Many took part in a virtual ceremony last month. On July 8, two ceremonies for both high schools were held in person. Incoming Superintendent Nicole Pormilli addressed students during each ceremony of the Class of 2020. She recognized how unique a school year this was for
them. The COVID-19 pandemic shut down the district’s schools in mid-March and with the switch to remote learning, students lost out on class trips, participation in drama productions, sporting events, a live

People Who Don’t Maintain Property Will Be Charged
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township officials and residents would like to see property owners keep up their homes. With that idea in mind, Council members recently voted unanimously to approve an ordinance concerning an initial registration fee and a renewal fee for vacant properties in the township. The ordinance was introduced during a June 23 council meeting, the first to bring together Council President Alexander Sauickie, Vice President Andrew Kern, Councilman Ken Bressi, Councilman Martin Flemming and recently appointed Councilman Stephen Chisholm before a live audience in Town Hall; the ordinance was fleshed out and adopted. This ordinance establishes an initial registration (Property - See Page 4)

District Bids Goodbye To Superintendent
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – School Board officials and administrators bid goodbye to Superintendent Dr. Stephen Genco last month during his last school board meeting. Nearly a year ago, Genco gave notice during a meeting in August that he would be retiring at the end of the school year. The superintendent couldn’t have imagined what his last year of serving as Jackson’s educational leader would bring. He thanked those he worked with and board members past and present “for all the support.” “This is my last board meeting. I have many mixed emotions obviously. I love Jackson. I consider this job and working with the people I work with and the boards to be the pinnacle of my career,” “I couldn’t have asked for a better community, a better group of people. I love this board

Property:
Continued From Page 1 fee of $500 for a vacant property and a $1,000 renewal fee for a vacant property. The original fee had been $250 but some felt this figure fell short of the incentive needed to get owners to maintain those properties. The idea behind the ordinance is to improve the look of neighborhoods that have vacant properties in them and to tighten up restrictions with a higher fee to prevent residences from having a rundown appearance. Money collected from the fees will be used by the governing body to maintain the upkeep of properties should property owners refuse to
Graduation:
Continued From Page 1 Her remarks included a desire to “help you celebrate the in-person ceremony that you so deserve, but before I continue, I would like to recognize Dr. Stephen Genco. As you may recall he has been the superintendent of Jackson Schools for the past six years.” Genco retired on June 30 but he volunteered his time to be present for the day’s ceremonies to join the graduating class for their celebration. “Thank you Dr. Genco for all you have done for Jackson Schools and this year’s graduating class,” Pormilli said. She added, “little did I know that I would be giving graduation remarks my first week as superintendent.” She told the students assembled that “I did feel it necessary and important to say a few words to all of you. This has been a year like no other in recent times. “You as young adults have witnessed and experienced sadness, disappointments, frustration, and some scary and difficult events,” she told the Class of 2020. The new superintendent added, “It is important for us to pause and acknowledge your resilience, intellect and grit! You have met all the academic requirements of your program and were forced to learn some larger life lessons.”
take proper action themselves. This would also prevent having to use taxpayer money for such improvements. A number of resolutions were approved during the session. They included the adoption of housing rehabilitation guidelines for the township’s rehabilitation program for local affordable housing purposes. Also approved was a resolution authorizing an amendment to the township’s agreement with Rehaboco, Inc. as Jackson’s administrator of its’ housing rehabilitation program and authorizing the utilization of $60,000 from the township’s affordable housing trust fund to allow for an additional 20 rehabilitation units at $3,000 per unit. She told the class, “I am proud of all of you. Through the last few months, you have shown great strength, resilience and kindness. Your life is your story and you will have one incredible story to tell.” “It is through difficult times that we gain strength and knowledge. We learn skills that help us to overcome other challenges we may face in our life journey. You may even see some of that impact now as you reflect on the last few months and finalize your plans for your next steps in life,” Pormilli said. She added, “if I can impart some wisdom from years of experience: Take from this difficult time the skills and lessons add them to your toolbox and grow stronger. Take that strength and resilience and apply it to all you do moving forward.” “It will serve as a model to others and it will impact the world around you in a positive way. Remember that everyone can have an impact on others, one person at a time. Be kind, assume best intentions, treat others the way you would like to be treated and be the best version of you each day,” she added. In closing she said, “whatever you go on to do, I know you will be strong in tackling it and again we are proud of you class of 2020. You should be very proud of your accomplishments! I wish you all the best for your future.”

Summer Camp: A Place to Build Resiliency As New Jersey camps reopen and welcome children and teens for summer adventure in the great outdoors, there is a special opportunity to spend time building critical social and emotional skills among campers. The long months of quarantine have taken a toll on our kids, and health professionals are raising concerns about their social and emotional well-being. Psychology Today recently reported: “Research shows that children and adolescents are experiencing mental distress due to the disruptions of the closure of schools, activities, and maintaining social and physical distancing.” While summer camps look slightly different this season with smaller groups, optional face masks and hand sanitizer stations, they still offer a unique environment where children can explore nature and connect with each other. When kids spend high-quality time outdoors, they thrive physically, emotionally, and intellectually. In an outdoor setting, they discover a strong sense of self, gain practical life skills and become resourceful problem solvers. Summer camp provides a vital building block to support children’s growth and social-emotional development. It can be a life-changing experience as kids cultivate relationships and learn from their social interactions with new friends. Year after year, kids share that the best part of camp is making lasting friendships. For families not comfortable sending their kids to outdoor day camps, there are plenty of virtual camp options that incorporate engaging online activities with other children. Girl Scouts, for example, is offering summer camp adventures at home with plenty of activities to complete away from a screen and open to all. In this time of social distancing, we must remain committed to fostering healthy connections and supporting the social-emotional growth and learning of our children. Eileen Higgins CEO, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore
Letters To tations, The Editor she looked like my March 13th, had 15% of my Trump Votes By Mail Do you know who’s voting by mail this election? Donald Trump. And do you know who’s making it harder for everyone else in the country to vote by mail in the middle of a global pandemic? That’s right - Donald Trump. He and other White House officials have gone on record with false claims against mail-in voting, even though it’s one of the safest options for us to cast our ballots as the country recovers from this pandemic. In the face of Trump’s hypocrisy, I expect Congress to do the right thing and provide both economic relief and expanded funding for no-excuse absentee voting, early voting, and other options to make voting safer this November. These are all common-sense reforms that a vast majority of Americans support and changes that would help increase voter participation during and after this crisis. Even though Congress allocated some funds to help states implement these voting reforms, without an additional $3.6 billion in election assistance funding, some voters may not be able to make their voices heard during one of the most important elections of our lifetime. We must prevent a situation where voters are forced to choose between protecting their health and casting a ballot - no matter what Trump says. Congress has the ability to act right now and we need to make sure our representatives know that anything less than immediate action is unacceptable. Joann Pichiarello Manchester
Support Local Workers (And Be Nice To Them) I spoke with my daughter before writing this. She is a hairdresser in Manahawkin. When she sent me a picture of her first day, with mask and shield and then at the end with markings and irri-
son, who’s a doctor, only he’s supposed to wear this, and he gets paid a hell of a lot more money. Her days and her colleagues’ days are long, very long, they are not making the money they once made. Why? Because they are limited to the amount of people they can have in the salon. On top of all that, the amount of cleaning that needs to be done after each person is unbelievable. I write this because I’ve seen many (Facebook) posts over establishments charging more money. Do any of you have any idea how much money these establishments have lost? Even if they received any of these government loans, do you really believe it covers all their expenses? I’ve seen hundreds of posts of wanting restaurants, salons, gyms, etc. to open, but, wait, open up on your terms? With the amount of (Personalized protective equipment) they are required to now have, who do you think pays for this? If you only got paid for 25%, how are you truly supposed to make money and yes, feed your family. I ask that you take a minute to understand that these businesses are NOT trying to rip anyone off, take advantage of anyone or gauging. They are trying to survive; they are trying to keep people employed and somehow stay afloat for as long as they can, otherwise all we will have eventually are vacant buildings. My guess is a lot of these workers could probably stay home and make more money on unemployment. They chose to make a go of things and try and get this country back on its feet, so let’s give them a break. If you feel it’s too much money, don’t go. I believe they have those color in box items at the store. Me personally, I don’t want to come out looking like a peep or a clown. I love sitting at a restaurant having a glass of wine and enjoying someone making a wonderful dinner once in a while. If you feel they are asking too much, again, don’t go, make due at home. For me, I work in NYC, haven’t been back since
salary taken from me, along with losing vacation time. It sucks, but I believe it can be worse. It can always be worse. The way I see it now, it is slowly getting better, slowly getting better. So be patient, be understanding and be kind. People just want to get back to doing what they love, and what they do well. If you don’t want to see more auto stores or dollar stores and the like support all these small establishments/ businesses in Barnegat and the surrounding areas. Let’s keep these establishments great! Susan Dangelmajer Barnegat
Richter Can’t Find Toms River On A Map So, we’re stuck with David Richter, huh? It’s bad enough that the Primary election was with a bunch of people from Burlington County, but Richter doesn’t know anything about Ocean County. He doesn’t live anywhere around here really. He supposedly is from Willingboro. I don’t even know where that is. So I guess we’ve got that in common. If there’s a debate, I want them to ask the candidates to find Toms River on a map. I bet he can’t. I bet he doesn’t know that Ortley exists or our development problems or our school funding dilemma. He tried to run for election in the 2nd District until (Congressman Jeff) Van Dr e w swi t c h e d p a r t i e s. When he didn’t have a chance there he moved to the 3rd District. It’s kind of like our (previous) congressman, Tom MacArthur. He rented an apartment just so he could run for office here. These people are pathetic. I’m tired of people just coming in and thinking they can run things around here. They know nothing about us and they don’t care about us. Donald Soto Toms River

$22 Billion Lead Removal Amendment Would Help Mercer County From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th), who has been working to help alleviate the threat of lead in drinking water for Trenton Water Works (TWW) customers in Mercer County, supported an amendment on the House floor July 1 to significantly increase funding authorized for the federal Lead Reduction Grant Program to $4.5 billion annually for the next five years. “Clean drinking water is the most basic of necessi-
ties,” Smith said. “It is the responsibility of the local, State and federal officials to do everything they can to ensure that all citizens have access to safe drinking water. “I supported this amendment to get more federal assistance into programs in New Jersey and other states, which in turn can use the funds on infrastructure improvements to deliver safe water to local water systems like Trenton Water Works and their customers.”

Superintendent Nicole Pormilli to take over as superintendent. She has 28 years in education, including nine years as an assistant superintendent and 15 years of central administration experience. Pormilli said following her appointment, “I have been fortunate enough to work with and learn from Dr. Genco and so many others and I am honored to have been appointed to this position. Jackson is a very special place, and it’s truly a privilege to take on this responsibility.’’ Genco noted that “there are still issues outstanding, obviously, with getting back to school and finances with S-2 (the state’s school aid formula which has cut funding). We are still in a lawsuit with the state to get to the bottom of those things.” “This board has been great. It is definitely bittersweet but it is time for me to retire but ultimately, I’m not going far. I’ll be teaching at Georgian Court. Mrs. Pormilli is stepping in and will do a great job. She has worked with me side by side for many years. I’m just a phone call away and I’d love to be invited back to visit,” Genco said. Genco also touched on the complexity of the district’s reopening in the fall and the preparation and planning that will involve as well as some of the more topical issues that have come up in the community, state
Smith has been working with TWW, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to pursue federal and state funding to assist with improving drinking water in Trenton and the surrounding communities of Hamilton, Lawrence, Ewing and Hopewell served by the City of Trenton’s water department. The amendment Smith backed was approved and added to HR 2, the Moving Forward Act, which provides critical funding for much needed infrastructure projects such as the Gateway Project and others in New Jersey. In addition to the $22.5 billion to help with lead reduction in local water
and country. “We have been mentioning the many social justice issues that have been occurring in our country right now and if our students were physically with us in our schools, we would be in a position read their moods and needs and adjust our responses accordingly,” Genco said. He added that for older students “we’d be able to have constructive discussions and opportunities to express their opinions and even their outrage if that is what is needed.” “For our younger students we’d be able to monitor their behavior and respond to their emotional needs and for all our students we’d be able to identify opportunities to discuss in person the value of compassion and kindness,” he said, adding that for parents who have concerns at home to reach out to the district if their children were having problems processing the events that have been occurring “with the world around them. Our building principals are working every day and are ready to offer assistance.” “This is not how I thought I’d be saying goodbye to Dr. Genco at a meeting,” Board member Sharon Dey said. “I do want to thank you. I have worked with you my entire time on the board.” “You have brought this school district to a very high level under very challenging conditions. This year is for the books.” She told Genco that he had always risen to each challenge the district has faced and commended him for having developed an administrative team that had not forgotten their roots as educators. Board member Gus Acevedo said, “edu-
systems, HR 2 also authorizes approximately $20 billion for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) over the next five years. “Federal funds also f low from the EPA to states from the drinking water fund,” Smith said. “The increase in this program will enable the NJDEP to help more local projects aimed at updating and maintaining drinking water infrastructure.” Six months ago, in December 2019, when Smith hosted a meeting in his Washington office with EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler and TWW officials, Wheeler pledged to support efforts to improve water quality for TWW customers, including replacement of lead service lines. Earlier in 2019, Smith met with Director of
EPA Region II Peter Lopez, whose region includes New Jersey. Smith had previously met with NJDEP Commissioner Catherine McCabe in early 2019, as well as other TWW, Trenton, EPA and NJDEP officials in support of TWW. In 2018 Smith and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) met with Mayor Gusciora and TWW officials, toured their filtration plant and other facilities, and were briefed on TWW’s plan of action. In Washington, Smith met with federal funding experts at the Congressional Research Service regarding opportunities for TWW and its service area communities to effectuate meaningful lead abatement opportunities. According to news reports, proposed up-
cators are heroes and our superintendent is a hero among heroes.” “Dr. Genco I wish you all the best in your retirement, congratulations to Ms. Pormilli,” Tara Riveria said. “You have been a super awesome superintendent. I appreciate everything you say and do,” Board member Scott Sargent said. Board member John Burnetsky asked those who had not seen the district virtual
grades are on hold and under various stages of consideration due to legal disputes between city officials and the State of NJ. The City of Trenton’s water department and its utility TWW serve the city, but also much of the neighboring town of Hamilton in Smith’s district, plus Ewing, Lawrence and Hopewell. Residents of all the towns served by TWW and in need of lead pipe replacement, are eligible for TWW’s discounted program to replace their lead service lines at a subsidized cost of $1,000, and about 5,500 homes are slated for upgrades through summer of 2021.

You were the superintendent when I came on the board and your wealth of knowledge, transparency is going to be missed. Enjoy your retirement. You won’t be lost as we will see you around,” Burnetsky added. “Yes, you will,” Genco responded.

Worker Accused Of Sexual Assault Of Senior Gets License Suspended
By Chris Lundy JACKSON – The state reviewed reports of several people in positions of trust and suspended their licenses to do their job. Among them was an employee of a local senior community who is charged with inappropriately touching a memory care resident. On May 21, Jackson police responded to Sunrise Senior Living on North County Line Road on the report of an employee who was witnessed touching an 84-year-old victim inappropriately, police said. Michael Edwards, a.k.a. Michael A. Donaldson, 32, of Manchester was charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact. He was processed and later released on a summons pending a court appearance and was also advised that he was not welcome back on the property. Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law. His license was temporarily suspended pending the outcome of his criminal case, the State Division of Consumer Affairs said. His employment at the facility had already
been terminated, and police said that upon learning of the incident, administrative staff took immediate action to safeguard the victim. He was one of eight certified homemaker-home health aides who were sanctioned by the State Board of Nursing for crimes allegedly committed on or off the job. This comes as the Division of Consumer Affairs reviews how its 51 professional boards address allegations involving sexual misconduct and abuse of others. “It’s an egregious abuse of trust when any licensee sexually preys on a patient or client, but it is especially heinous when the victim is an elderly individual under their care,” said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “The actions announced today underscore both the need for our professional boards to remain vigilant in protecting vulnerable patients, as well as the importance of the review they are presently undertaking to better protect victims and hold licensees accountable for their actions.”

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – It took a disaster to stop one of the most iconic events on the Jersey Shore: the Toms River Halloween Parade has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The parade is annually run by Toms River Fire Co. No. 1. It has a history of entertaining locals for decades. It is billed as the second largest Halloween parade in the world, and can have upwards of 6,000 viewers. The Downtown area is shut down and people compete for seats. “The Toms River Vol. Fire Co. No. 1 has decided for the safety of the community and all fi rst responders involved due to the ongoing pandemic to cancel this year’s Halloween Parade,” wrote Carl Weingroff,
one of the organizers. “This pandemic has struck all aspects of normalcy. Even though the curve has straightened out a little bit the risk is still at a high with the magnitude of people that crowd in the downtown area we feel this is the best decision. This will be the 3rd time in history of the parade being canceled. First being in the 1920s during the depression, 2nd for Hurricane Sandy and now this. “We as always thank each and every one of you and your organizations for the complete and continual support you have given the Toms River Volunteer Fire Co No. 1 in all of our events,” he said. On the up side, the fire company is planning 2021’s parade and already has the date set. It will be Oct. 30, 2021, with a rain date of Monday, Nov. 1, 2021.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Nuclear Regulator Commission Submits Report On Advisory Boards
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY - Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently submitted a report to Congress on the best practices for Community Advisory Boards (CAB) involving decommissioning nuclear power plants like the Exelon Generating Station in Lacey. The NRC’s report on best practices for community advisory boards associated with decommissioning activities at nuclear power plants was mandated by the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act. NRC staff conducted 11 public meetings from August through October 2019 to prepare for the report and to obtain insights from host states, communities
near nuclear power plants, and existing community advisory boards. Staff also conducted two webinars to provide people unable to attend the meetings in person an opportunity to participate in the process.

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy New Jersey is continuing to identify new cases of COVID-19 but our “curve” will continue to flatten but the virus will remain with us for at least the remainder of the year. In my opinion, the “new normal” will include a) social distancing, b) continued use of wearing a mask, c) frequent hand washing, and d) no more hugs for a while. Telepractice will become increasing popular in all medical fields, including hearing healthcare. Remote programming of hearing aids has been available for several years, but in my opinion, the majority of our patients calling our offices cannot benefit from remote programming. During this pandemic, due to the frequent use of wearing a mask, dozens have “lost” their hearing instruments or broke a receiver wire. Many other patients have a “dead” hearing aid and the only way to fix it is to send it back to the manufacturer. Remote programming would be a complete waste of time in these instances. We have continued to offer “curbside services” and/ or drop off services at our Toms River office. This concierge service is critical during this time of uncertainty as well as the increased importance of communication with family and friends.
As our offices begin to transition to opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year. For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/or can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive support. If you need our help, please call us at 732818-3610. We will be re-opening very soon! Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel. All the Best! Dr. Izzy

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Interesting New Facts About Leprosy And COVID
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m reading a book called The Island (Victoria Hislop) which is about a leper colony and the book is set in the 1900’s where people with leprosy were exiled to an island called Spinalonga, off the coast of Crete (Greece). And people were sent there to live, and to die. The island is abandoned today. It became self-sufficient and only after 1957 were the residents allowed to return to their homes (if they were still alive). Today, half of the cases of leprosy occur in parts of India and there are still leper colonies. There are leper colonies all over the world. This condition is ancient, but sadly, even with centuries of medical advancements, we still see thousands of cases globally. It is medically known as Hansen’s disease. Those afflicted with leprosy are often from poverty-stricken areas where there is difficulty accessing medical professionals and clean food or water. The condition, if untreated, will cause nerve pain, skin lesions, disfigurement, and amputation, not to mention social stigma. In the book I am reading, one of the main characters, a teacher named “Eleni” becomes infected with leprosy by her student Dimitri, and they are both banished from Crete to live forever on the little island of Spinalonga. Eleni was never to return home, but her altruistic and loving nature made life better for those she knew during her time on the island. Like COVID, the condition of leprosy seems to show benefits from Vitamin D. They did not know that back in the 40’s and 50’s when Spinalonga and other leper colonies formed. I am not comparing lep-
rosy to corona, these are not even remotely related. The only similarity is that vitamin D can be helpful for both according to current scientific research. Vitamin D supports many aspects of immune function, as well as myelin sheath repair. Today’s aim is to enlighten you about the condition of leprosy because it still exists in the US, especially in the southern US, and it’s making a resurgence in Brazil. Just FYI, armadillos are a host, and people still eat them. As a reminder, zoonotic infections are 100% preventable, and therefore easier to avoid than to cure. The signs and symptoms of Leprosy include: • Discolored (or thick) patch of skin on the body • Muscle weakness • Loss of eyebrows or eyelashes • Painless swelling or lumps on the face or ears • Numbness in parts of the skin Treatment of leprosy will help to avoid the nerve damage. If left untreated it may cause: • Shortening of toes and fingers • Foot drop • Blindness • Neuropathy or burning sensations in skin • Chronic ulcers that don’t heal on the skin or feet • Difficulty swallowing or talking There are many physicians today who specialize in the treatment of leprosy and other infectious diseases, so if you have concerns that the bacteria has invaded your body, please do some reading at websites such as The Leprosy Mission International and the National Hansen’s Disease Program.

Continued From Page 1 have waiting for us in terms of new parameters coming off of the school closure,” Baginski said. He noted the second part of the report was about the same period’s Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (HIB) report of HIBs that take place both investigated and confirmed. “We gather this informa-
tion through our schools’ anti-bullying specialists and like the vandalism and violence report we only had about two months in school time but we did have some HIBs during the closure.” Baginski added, “we’ve done the best we could in investigating them and they are also part of the report and for the most part our director of security and our anti-bullying specialists have been keeping active to make sure that even
while at home and remote learning our students felt that they were safe and could report things and they (district staff) could thoroughly investigate it.” As part of the district’s report to the state the district generates self-assessment scores which is submitted every June. Each school using a standard of the state, performed a self-evaluation in addressing their handling of HIBs. They assign themselves scores and an average
score is developed. Last year Baginski said the district’s score had score was 72 out of 78 and this year it was 71 out of 78. “There were some things insofar as training that we could not fulfill this year due to due to the closure and things that had been planned between March and June,” Baginski said. He added overall, the district had a great year in regards to the district’s response to HIB. All of the district’s anti-bullying specialists have received the state’s HIB training. “In September the district anticipates a ver y active season insofar as ou r anti-bullying specialists conducting trainings and making sure our students are in a place that they are ready to come back to and treating each other the way we should be treating each other,” Baginski said. The Board approved all three of the reports which are now available for reading by the public on the district’s website. In other news, Genco reported on the board and district goals saying that in monitoring the status of the new satellite transportation facility, “we are there at this point. The last thing we were waiting for was the carbon dioxide test and I’m not sure if that has been done but that building has been turned over to us at this point.” District Business Administrator Michelle Richardson said that this test had not been completed yet but was expected to be done by next week. Genco said the district’s long-term facility plan had been updated and that an energy saving program would be producing close to $20 million in projects. He said a third goal was research feasibility of courtesy busing routes. “That is a work in progress. It is not completed but it is something you did start to look at. It will be something you have to look at in the future.” That was the board goals as far as district goals the long-range facilities plan remained the same “but we added the irrigation over at Jackson Liberty High School.” Genco said along with that project which is now complete, the district’s energy saving program and its transportation satellite facility were among the district’s goals.
