District crossing fingers <br />
Phillipsburg hopes its long-delayed new high school will be on latest list of funded projects. <br />
Tuesday, May 27, 2008 <br />
By TRISH GRABER <br />
The Express-Times <br />
TRENTON | Odds appear slim that Phillipsburg's long-awaited new high school will be included in the next round of the state's school construction funding. <br />
<br />
The Legislature is getting set to consider approving another $2.5 billion bond to build 47 new schools. <br />
<br />
If lawmakers approve the new funding, it will be used to complete 27 unfinished projects left over from the last round of funding. Phillipsburg is not among those 27. <br />
<br />
But 20 additional projects will be chosen from a list of 371 that local school officials have submitted to the state. <br />
<br />
In Phillipsburg, where students attend classes in 31 trailers, school officials are crossing their fingers. <br />
<br />
"I am hoping every day that our project will be on an approved list," said acting Superintendent George Chando. <br />
<br />
State officials will use a ranking system to decide which projects are completed. That system is being finalized by the Department of Education. All of the 31 so-called Abbott districts' projects will be included. <br />
<br />
"They'll be listed in educational priority order and we'll work off that list," said Larry Hanover, spokesman for the Schools Development Authority, which replaced the embattled Schools Construction Corp. <br />
<br />
Phillipsburg has been waiting for a new $88 million high school since 2005. The state already completed $16 million in site work, but the project was halted when the Schools Construction Corp. ran out of money. <br />
<br />
Earlier this year, Gov. Jon S. Corzine told the Supreme Court he would provide $2.5 billion for construction projects at some of the state's 31 poorest districts, the so-called Abbotts. <br />
<br />
Legislators introduced the bill to provide the funding last week. It has yet to be considered by lawmakers. <br />

		<title>Carpooling East on 78</title>
		<link>http://www.lopatcong.net/messageboard/index.php?showtopic=313</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello,<br />
Is there anyone out there (or knows someone) who commutes 78 east in the morning to one of the several businesses on Sheffield Street in Mountainside New Jersey (or very close)?<br />
<br />
I am interested in carpooling just a few days a month, as a passenger, and, of course to pay negotiated rate per mile.  I will pay more as/if gas prices increase.<br />
<br />
I live in Lopatcong but the driver does not have to live here as I can drive to a convenient location for pick up, including locations along 78.<br />
<br />
Thanks.]]></description>

		<title>Honeywell Instant Alerts</title>
		<link>http://www.lopatcong.net/messageboard/index.php?showtopic=308</link>
		<description><![CDATA[This may have come up before, forgive me if I have missed a prior discussion / explanation but, is it not improper, perhaps even irresponsible and problematic, to be flagging every routine school schedule adjustment, holiday greeting, and PTA fund raiser solicitation as a "High Importance" Honeywell Instant E-mail Alert (red exclamation point included)?  In the days that we are living in, every time we see that red exclamation point on a "high importance" e-mail alert from the schools, our hearts stop momentarily, we try not to think the worst, and scramble to open the message to make sure there isn't a real emergency involving our children.  Why isn't this information being flagged as "Normal Importance", without the big red exclamation point?  Parents have probably already become desensitized to the "high importance" flags, and will likely not recognize a genuine real emergency notice when it comes.  Was the intent of this "emergency notification" system really just to give the PTA an easy way to cluster bomb the parents, to our home phones, mobile phones and every e-mail address, with saturation marketing for their fund raisers?  <br />
<br />
Thoughts?  Any Reasonable Explanations?<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Having received the honeywell notification of a lockdown at the elementray school and the middle school, I spoke with a local day care center who explained that the schools are in lockdown because of an armed robbery at a local convience store.
