Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, in
order to support the large variety of co-curricular programs
offered to our students, the Plumsted Township Board of
Education instituted participation fees in the amount of
$50.00 for all athletic teams, school drama productions,
cheerleading and the marching bands. The fee for all clubs
at the high school level is $25 per club (with a maximum of
$50 per student). Students who qualify for free and reduced
lunch are eligible for discounted rates. Once a student has
paid for two activities ($100 maximum for athletics, $50
maximum for clubs) all remaining activities that a student
chooses to join will not require a fee.

Board of Education and
Municipality Enter a Shared-Services Agreement
Mayor Ron Dancer and Superintendent of
Schools, Dr. Mark DeMareo, are pleased to announce that the
school district and the municipality have entered into a
shared-services agreement. This agreement will provide
busing to approximately 400 additional students
district-wide.
Prior to this shared-service agreement, elementary and
middle school students who lived less than 2 miles and high
school students who live less than 2.5 miles from their
respective school needed to provide their own transportation
to school. This one year agreement will now provide busing
to those students even though the state does not require the
district to offer transportation.
Under the terms of the shared-services agreement, the
Township and School Board will each pay 50 % of the total
cost to bus the additional students. The total cost to
provide all students with school bus transportation is
$150,000. The Township and School Board will each pay
$75,000.
Due to the new shared-services agreement crossing guards
will be provided during the first week of school only.
