Interdistrict Public School Choice
The Interdistrict School Choice Program was signed into law by Governor Christie on September 10, 2010. The program is designed to increase educational opportunities for students and their families by providing students with the option of attending a public school outside their district of residence without cost to their parents.
Please contact the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District office 609-494-2341 for more information about this program.
NOW is the time to act if you know someone who is interested in applying for their child to attend the Long Beach Island School District as a choice student for the 2013-2014 school year. Current Choice students do not need to reapply. The deadline for the application is November 1, 2012.
