in our opinion
Kids need their rest, and pushing school start times to 8:30 a.m. would help
Dan McDonough Jr.
ast week, state education officials held two hearings to discuss the potential of moving
middle and high school start times to
later in the day. Proponents of the
measure say kids need their sleep, and
delaying the opening of schools will
help in that regard.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended students start
class no earlier than 8:30 a.m., which is
why the Legislature passed a measure
last year to study the feasibility of
changing the states laws. Reports indicate that 85 percent of New Jerseys
schools start before 8:30 a.m.
Doctors typically recommend teens
get eight to nine hours of sleep per
night. Most teens arent getting that
much sleep.
The easy and obvious solution
Your thoughts
What are your thoughts on pushing the
start time for middle schools and high
schools throughout our state to 8:30
a.m.? Let your voice be heard through a
letter to the editor.

rel kicks off with an opening ceremony. Cancer survivors walk the
first lap together, and then caregivers join for the second lap.
Teams set up tents inside of
the track to act as home base for
the overnight event. They bring
their own food, but there are also
on-site vendors. There are games
and activities the entire time, too.
Last year, we were playing
kickball at 3 oclock in the morning, Tyrrell said with a laugh.
At 9 p.m., a Luminaria Ceremony is held, with white candle-lit
bags lining the track.
The Luminaria Ceremony is
just so special, Tyrrell said. The
bags are in honor of survivors or
in memory of people we have lost,
with names on them. At our
event, we have a bagpiper come in
and play, and all the lights are
turned off on the track.
These bags can also be purchased before the event for a $10
donation, which is part of the
fundraising efforts by the participating teams. The American Cancer Society hopes each individual
taking part raises at least $100.
The Relay for Life Medford-Mt.
Laurel has raised $36,253.69 as of
last week, with 33 teams and 220
participants. The goal is 56 teams
and $120,000.

Continued from page 1
more than a decade ago, according
to
Business
Administrator/Board Secretary
Marie Goodwin. This issue surfaced about a year ago when the
state Division of Pensions and
Benefits, which oversees all pensions and benefits for public employees, argued that Shamongs
early retirement benefits program was never properly approved by the state, and therefore
the district now owes the state
money.
The program was approved by
the Shamong BOE in November
2004 to incentivize early retirement of employees to save money.
However, New Jersey court cases
in the past have interpreted the
state statute to mean that boards
of education cannot negotiate
early retirement incentive programs without first having state
approval.
The board plans to use its
$200,000 of bank cap to put toward
this. The pension liability in total
will be $646,817, so this $200,000
