4th budget in a row under Mayor Zimmer with tax cuts. No other NJ town can match it unless you count gutting needed services. Pretty amazing considering Sandy's costs.

Why can't Demerst be a High School again? We need HHS for the little ones, there are more smaller children then high schools students anyway. Boys & girls ages 11, 12, & 13 find this age to be difficult time for them, now you want to throw them to the lions at such an intimidating time of their life. They are changing in so many ways & I believe many parents are not going to want to send their kids to a school where half of them are from out of town that were kicked out of their original school. Parents are also going to have to face the fact that Conners must be utilized as well. Maybe 6, 7, 8 graders should go there? P3 & P4 & 1 go to Rue and Brandt. grades 2, 3, 4 & 5 go to Wallace Colabro & HHS. Is it that difficult to do ?? We live in a mile town, how long will it to drop your children at two different sites?? I mean really this is not a big deal. Once you move to the burds , like most will , this is what happens.

You know nothing about Demarest today.
My daughter goes there, as does many pre-k 3s and 4s.
You also don't know very much about the pre school program.

My daughter did P3 & P4 in Brant & we loved it, and I took her out when I was told she as going to Wallace when I wanted Calabro. No I don't know who is in Demarest these days they seem to rotate them more often. I heard some older grade where using space upstairs. I DO KNOW the HHS is no place for 7th graders even some 8th graders. I can also bet that the kids your in school with today will break off to Ola , Charter or HCA once they are told where they're 1st grade will be just like the rest of us! Good Luck.
