Toms River board authorizes amendment to facilities plan, approves sale of 1144 Hooper Avenue
Summary
The board approved an amendment to its long-range facilities plan and authorized the proposed sale of 1144 Hooper Avenue; one member recorded a 'no' vote and the district said closing is expected in May subject to county processing.
The Toms River Regional School District Board of Education voted to amend its long-range facilities plan and authorize the proposed sale of 1144 Hooper Avenue. The resolution authorizes submission of the amendment to the New Jersey Department of Education and moves the property toward a sale process.
During the roll call the board recorded one dissenting vote: Pascarella was recorded as voting 'no' on the motion. The board told a public commenter later in the meeting that the county’s pre-board agenda will include the sale and that officials hope to close in May.
A resident who spoke during public comment asked when full details of the sale would be announced; the board said the vote taken is the district’s required step for the DOE and that county review must follow. The resident also asked when the district would run out of payroll funds; the board replied 'May' when asked about the district's payroll runway.
The board did not provide sale price or purchaser details in open session; the motion recorded tonight authorizes the administrative steps required to pursue the sale and notify state and county review authorities.
