Several residents peppered the Bellmawr Board of Education last week meeting about the district’s Pre-School program.

Holly Coleman said she was curious as to what power the community has in dealing with school issues.

Superintendent Annette Castiglione said the district must service 3 and 4 year-olds, noting ratios of attendance at 20 percent (3 year olds) and 80 percent (4 year-olds).

Board President Jody Mangus said agenda items concern everyone, and invited more public involvement in Board activities.

Member Mike Williams asked people to vote in the School Election April 21 from 2 to 9 p.m.

Today, nearly a year since Gloucester City bought the aging apartment complex from private ownership for $4 million, city authorities have pushed tenants from about half of the occupied units. And rather than center exclusively on affordable housing there, the city now hopes to convert the nine brick buildings — 100 apartments in all — into 50 owner-occupied townhouses. Each may be priced perhaps between $165,000 and $170,000, Mayor Bill James said.
