Install Metal detectors at ALL entrances. Every student, every teacher and any personnel, should be wearing photo ID, with the name of the school, attending and hours of entrance and dismissal, posted. Any student or adult, with ANY weapons will be suspended, pending expulsion. Uniforms, should be worn and females should dress appropriately; white school blouse and dark slacks in winter, skirts in Spring and Fall. Each student and teacher, should have a school handbook, so there would be no mistake about what is required. The schools should have 2 uniformed police in the Middle and high schools. The elementary school should have security guards. One at the front entrance and 1 at the rear entrance. Unless a child is ill in school, parents must make an appointment, to see personnel. There should be regular assembly times for the principal and staff to address the students and fliers should be posted for upcoming events, if not published in the school newspaper or website. These are all I can think of, for now, but if any infractions or weapons are found, these kids should be sent to a youth detention facility and their parents notified, to pick them up and be seen as to how the school will mete out punishment. Compared to what these few safety precautions cost, the kids, would be better served, if they felt safe in the school or on the grounds. - 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with theYahoo!

When the state pays for the majority of school funding it eases the % taken out of local taxes.the city has quietly taken the difference...my question is what has been done with it..check you taxes before Abbott and now...you will see the city has benefitted... dfsavgny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm trying to understand all this myself now. I found the breakdown for AP's taxes here: County, School, Municipal, each in turn broken down further. _http://tax.co.monmouth.nj.us/pdf/Tr06.pdf_ (http://tax.co.monmouth.nj.us/pdf/Tr06.pdf) The general rate is the total tax rate comprised of county, school and municipal rates. The local rate is the school and municipal rates. I've also been checking out these: 1. Seems like AP is way up there. Maybe because of all the bogus tax-exempt churches; maybe because all the social services other towns don't or won't offer: _Freehold Township : Comparison of Municipal Tax Rates_ (http://www.twp.freehold.nj.us/e- government/financials/comp_mun_rates.asp) It is my experience that many low-income areas have high tax rates. What is more important is effective tax rates, which I think your following link addresses. What I think that is is measure what the actual or nominal rate is based upon the promulgated av's and equalization ratios and what the rate is based upon the equalization rate (percentage of value represented by assessment or av). If you were truly assessed at 100% of market value (which is a moving target) the general rate and effective rate would be equal. I don;t think it is going into the area of what you are actually paying based upon what the real equalization rate is. For instance, assume the equalization rate is 50%, meaning that if your av is $200,000 the assessor says your property has a markey value of $400,000. But if your property is really worth $600,, the real equalization rate is 33.33%, and then even an effective tax rate would be even lower considering this equalization rate. Smoke and mirrors. What people want to know is how much am I paying and what do I get in return. If you ask me, you pay a lot and get little in this town. We pay so much because ou city spends so much. Why do they spend so much? Man there is a lot of fat that needs to be cut in this town. Too many old time families with connections in this town on the city payroll. Who do you think a lot of those posters were on this forum. I won't mention names. Sad part is that the powers that be keep getting into office because it is these old timers that do the voting. A lot of the new comers (and I will include the past ten years) can't or don't vote here because of various reasons. Too many entrenched interests in this city government. That is why nothing improves. They want the status quo to remain. Good feeding. - Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail QA for great tips from Yahoo! Answers users.

IF my tax bill was $5000. $350(7%) goes to the schoolso that leave about $4600 left over for like you said city, state etc.my question is how much goes to the city and what is being done with it.??

Your school district is spending 100%. So for example, you get: $100 million to spend. - City landowners (those that are non-exempt) pay: 7% of the that: $7 million - The balance of is picked up by the state. As in the rest of the tax payers. - So now suppose instead of paying $2000 in school tax on your property, you were hit with a tax bill of $5,000 for your school taxes. THEN add in your city taxes, county tax etc. And you haven't been hit with a reassessment. Good thing. You should hope the market stays depressed til the time comes. - Don't pick lemons.

Daniel S. McHarris, 40, of Corbin Court, Lakewood pleaded guilty before Superior Court Judge Wendel E. Daniels to criminal coercion, carrying a maximum prison term of a year and a half. Supervising Asssistant Ocean County Prosecutor Michel A.

McHarris worked at Asbury Park Middle School as a health and physical education teacher from September 2004 until August 2005, according to school officials. He was a track, basketball and football coach and a substitute teacher in the Toms River Regional School District from 1987 to 1993. McHarris stood trial in Middlesex County in 2001 and was acquitted of charges he fondled students at North Brunswick Tonwship High School, where he was a coach and teacher from 1997 until September 1999. McHarris is scheduled to be sentenced in the videotaping case on May 4. - Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Yahoo! Travel to find your fit.
[AsburyPark] Closet hatred is not needed in our schools.....
I seem to recall this guy being a teacher in AP or Neptune.. Role race plays still evolving I agree with the assessment of Bruce Gordon, outgoing president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that blacks have made gains in the political area and have a greater presence in the last 10 to 20 years. (NAACP seeking to erase racial disparities in jobs, schooling, Feb. 6). I have a solution for the number of black people incarcerated: Stay in school, don't get involved in crime and catch on to a good moral code. Then they won't be incarcerated in disproportionate numbers. The term black is misused when referring to the one black representative in the U.S. Senate. Barack Obama is biracial, not black. In the area of affirmative action, Gordon said, We will continue to oppose any initiative . . . to eliminate affirmative action. Affirmative action was meant to be equal opportunity, not equal results or hiring the less qualified. What prompted the Michigan initiative in November to eliminate racial preferences was abuse of the law, which resulted in admitting less qualified students solely on the basis of race and the hiring of the less qualified. Those practices have got to go. Preference to one is discrimination against another, which violates the Constitution. Ed Pigut BELMAR Yahoo!
