O.C. School District holding forum Aug. 24

Open discussion about concerns for reopening of school

OCEAN CITY – The Ocean City School District will host a Community Forum at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24, Ocean City High School library. Masks will be required to enter.

The forum will be an opportunity for teachers, staff, parents and other community members to have an open discussion on a variety of topics involving the reopening of schools for the 2021-2022 school year.

“We want to give everyone an opportunity to share their concerns or ask any questions regarding the upcoming school year with a proper platform for change if need be,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Thomas Baruffi. “If we can hear people out first hand, we may be able to come up with a solution as a community. We don’t want anyone to feel as if they aren’t heard.”

If any community members are unable to attend, any questions can be sent to  Baruffi’s secretary by Monday, Aug. 23, at mkeiluhn@ocsdnj.org.

Updates will continue to be posted via SwiftK-12 messaging, social media, as well as the OCSD website. Additional COVID-Prevention guidelines can be found on the district website, oceancityschools.org.
