Similarly, the study found it was also feasible to share a business administrator between…

What a FABULOUS idea....sharing services only makes sense. There is so much waste in the administrative side of the school budgets all over Monmouth County, it's so exciting to see schools starting to talk about shared services. WAKE UP parents and all taxpayers and start pushing for this!! Similar sharing should happen between Rumson/Fair Haven, Little Silver/Red BAnk, and on and on! more ›
