School Board Meeting Tonight

The Manasquan School Board is scheduled to hold its monthly action meeting 7 p.m. tonight at the . 

The board will vote on the with The Atlantic Club to allow the boys and girls varsity soccer teams to use the facility for their home games this season. 

The $100-per-hour fee will be paid for by the parents of both teams' players. The total cost is expected to be $2000 for the season. 

Last week some board members said they weren't comfortable sending student athletes to a third facility (in addition to the school fields and Sea Girt Army Camp) with only one certified athletic trainer overseeing each field.

Athletic Director Ronald Kornegay said he was comfortable with the staff at The Atlantic Club, all trained in CPR, with handling any injuries that may take place on its property. 

After some discussion, Board President Michelle LaSala said the resolution would be put up for a vote at tonight's meeting. 

The board will also vote on a resolution to approve an in attorney fees for its firm McComber & McComber. 

Last week Board Attorney R. Armen McComber said he would not necessarily be paid the additional fees.

When asked by members of the public what the money pertained to, McComber said there were "more than one, less than five" items of possible or actual litigation he was working on.

McComber said the district was being sued for breach of contract by the facility it used for its High School ice hockey games. He did not divulge any other ongoing or pending litigation.
