SOUTH AMBOY - Residents will vote March 11 on a $35.6 million school referendum that would fund additional classroom space to ease overcrowding and make critical health and safety repairs at South Amboy Elementary School and South Amboy Middle/High School The Board of Education says the work is designed to ensure the schools can accommodate future enrollment growth without major expansions or construction of a new school residents could avoid a bond referendum in the near future that would cost considerably more South Amboy Schools Superintendent Frederick Williams said the Board of Education would issue bonds for $35,657,670 which would be paid back over 30 years The total estimated annual cost to taxpayers would be $474.48 for the average house with an assessment of $274,817 in 2024 The school district has been approved to receive state aid to help cover the debt service “Both school facilities are outdated and showing their age,” Williams said “This proposed project streamlines the necessary work to ensure the schools can accommodate a 21st Century curriculum in safe School officials said the proposed work will enhance the town and attract families South Amboy will continue to attract families who want to live here ensuring residential property values continue to grow,” said Board of Education Member Paula Taggart  “This school improvement project helps protect and nurture residents’ investments for when it is time to sell I truly hope that many residents take the time to learn about this important plan and vote on March 11.” old doors and crumbling floors are just some of the reasons why school officials are proposing significant renovations to the building More: Middlesex County drug dealer sentenced to prison for 21-year-old's fentanyl death The original HVAC system in the cafeteria no longer works creating uncomfortable temperatures for students and staff in the warmer months school officials needed to open the exterior doors in the cafeteria for air circulation which created an unnecessary security risk School officials expected the same problem in late spring the other HVAC systems in the school are nearing the end of their lives and will need to be replaced The school district spends a considerable amount of money on repairs to 30-year-old HVAC systems and the expense will only grow Another problem area is the leaking roof in the community’s auditorium as well as the many broken seats that were part of the original construction of the building School officials say there are also a growing number of roof leaks throughout the building The original protective cover on the school roof dissolved over the years forcing maintenance staff to regularly undertake emergency spot repairs More: Project to replace NJ Transit bridge linking Jersey Shore to Manhattan advances School officials are also concerned about the state of the exterior doors which were part of the original construction The doors surrounding all parts of the school are so old that replacement parts are no longer available creating a potential and ongoing security issue for a building that serves students in grades 6-12 The tiled floor throughout the school is cracking and sinking in places The school district says this is not only a safety issue causing more expensive repairs if not repaired now the science labs need to be overhauled and renovated to meet current educational standards The fixtures and equipment date to the opening of the school in the mid-1990s and can no longer serve the modern curricula The referendum will create more classrooms at the South Amboy Elementary School to help bring students who required specialized services back to the school district instead of being enrolled in programs outside South Amboy saving a substantial amount of money in tuition and transportation costs The extra classroom space will also be used for free full-day pre-K programs for students ages 3-4 The referendum also would fund replacement of old windows and part of the roof which were not completed in a capital improvement project a decade ago Updates about the referendum will be posted on the school website at sapublicschools.com SOUTH AMBOY -

whatever cockamamie defense is thrown at it So the Rams weren’t too surprised when South Amboy opened Saturday’s Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament employing a triangle-and-two alignment played straight man-to-man with Grospe guarding the Governors prolific John Kelly More: Boys basketball rankings: Greater Middlesex Conference and area UCC Top 10, through Feb. 1 More: Boys basketball: North Brunswick bolsters postseason chances with win over Monroe South Amboy was in the midst of a run of 12 unanswered points when Grospe picked up his second foul late in the opening quarter which would prove to be the turning point Grospe stayed in the game as South River shifted to a zone to protect him and South Amboy never regained its offensive rhythm before the Rams coasted to a 71-50 triumph earned a trip to 11th-seeded Middlesex for a rubber game in Tuesday’s preliminary round Grospe finished with 29 points to lift his career total to 1,930 but it was his eight steals and  exhortations at the defensive end that provided some additional motivation a sophomore who averages 19 points per game there were reports that were comparing us two and I’m not a guy who backs down against anyone,” Grospe stated “When I see another guy who is putting up numbers like I am I’m going to try and stop him and I guess that’s what we did today.” Kelly scored 12 points and was able to contribute in other areas Alex Gantt led the Governors with 14 points South River faced a triangle-and-2 for the second game in a row although East Brunswick Magnet chose to double-team Grospe in the scheme “Knowing that (Costa) is the secondary player that they play through we were trying to limit him,” South Amboy coach Matt Wiater explained “We were trying to have our secondary line of defense be ready to cut off Grospe’s drives and make them go to their third he did a really good job of still getting to the basket and we were not able to cut him off as well as we needed to.” South River jumped out to a 9-2 lead sparked by a pair of buckets and an assist by Grospe before the 27th-seeded Governors reeled off a 12-0 spurt that gave it a 14-9 advantage and the first of the contest’s two lead changes Grospe picked up his second foul with 2:24 left in the first quarter but South River coach Brandon Walsh did not consider removing him from the match “We have a really good relationship and I trust him,” Walsh said he has a really high IQ and at that point we just communicate and we’re going to allow him to keep playing and we have full confidence in him to not pick up that third foul.” Walsh did switch to 3-2 zone in an effort to protect Grospe and the Rams went on a 12-0 rampage of its own fueled by five points and an assist from the senior guard for the game’s second and final lead change I thought that they were having a really good matchup back and fourth and we wanted to put him in a better position to not get in a bad spot,” noted Walsh “We went to a zone there and ended up getting some good steals and leak outs from it.” South River split its two Gold Division meetings with Middlesex winning by a point on opening night and losing Grospe has watched his inexperienced teammates grow throughout the season and many of them are playing in a post-season tournament for the first time “I’ve watched us grow over time and build our chemistry and that’s really helped me put trust in my teammates,” Grospe explained “If I show that I trust them it boosts their confidence and that’s what we need.” New Brunswick 41: After suffering the indignity of watching Middlesex celebrate wining the GMC Gold Division title on its own home court on Thursday “We were seeded as the 20th seed in this tournament and we just feel like we have something to prove,” senior forward Joe Nardino revealed “We just want to go out and prove that we’re underdogs and we can beat anybody in the GMC.” Nardino went out and scored 10 of his 17 points in the first quarter as the Chargers (14-8) forged an 18-10 advantage it would never relinquish and steadily increase made things interesting late in the third quarter as back-to-back 3s by Xavier Stokes and Michai Coffee reduced the deficit to 44-31 and the Zebras had the opportunity to further whittle the gap but missed a pair of free throws Spotswood closed the period with five unanswered points ending with a trey by Nardino and the lead hovered around 20 points until game’s end Spotswood will roll into Perth Amboy’s old high school gym at 5:30 Tuesday for the GMCT preliminary round with wins in nine of its last 10 outings and a ton of confidence “We started the year 1-5 and we just had to talk to each other and have that teamwork and feel like we have to get it together,” said Nardino Nardino also
