April 28 Middletown School Board Meeting Will Be Held In Thompson Middle School Gym

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — There are two upcoming Middletown school board meetings: One this Tuesday, April 21 (7 p.m. at High School North) and another one April 28.

The April 28 meeting will be moved to be held in the Thompson Middle School gymnasium, due to the crowd size expected at that meeting.

The board is expected to pass next year's budget at that meeting. The passing of the budget is controversial because it includes closing three schools (Leonardo and Navesink elementaries, and making Bayshore Middle School an elementary school, the new Bayshore Elementary).

Tuesday night's meeting will be held in the usual location for school board meetings, the auditorium of Middletown High School North.

Here is the Sunshine notice the school district is legally required to send out about the location change of the April 28 meeting:
