The Toms River Regional Schools Board of Education on March 27 approved multiple administrative motions during its regular meeting, including support for an external grant application and several routine items.
The board unanimously approved a resolution to support Seaside Heights' application for a School Regionalization Efficiency (SR) grant to cover the cost of a previously conducted regionalization feasibility study. The motion was moved and seconded and carried on a roll call recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board also approved a 2024–2025 intergovernmental services agreement with the Ocean County Department of Corrections, and accepted bus evacuation drill reports for bus riders. Those motions were moved, seconded and passed by roll call.
On policy matters the board approved first readings and later the second reading/adoption of listed policies. The transcript records that several members abstained or opposed a specific policy labeled 9323 during the first-reading vote (board members recorded as abstaining or voting 'no' on 9323 in the roll call recorded during the meeting).

The board opened the meeting to public comment (first session limited by policy to three minutes) and heard a curriculum suggestion to include APA formatting instruction in classes; the administration asked the commenter to provide a sign-in and said Mr. Thomas would review the request with the curriculum team.
What’s next: Routine approvals were completed at the March 27 meeting; the board will continue scheduled committee work and follow up on requested curriculum review.
