Keep Shamar AKA Shimmy @ Middletown North for his last year!!!!

Shamar AKA Shimmy started attending Thorne Middle School for his 5 grade school year, and graduated from Thorne and then went on to attend Middletown High School North. Shamar will be a rising Senior for the 2024-2025 upcoming school year. Here is where the problem started, I was renting a house in Port Monmouth, and in December of 2023 we had to move out of the house due to the owners wanted to sell the property. After moving out we had to stay in a couple of hotels for months on end because I could not find another house or apartment in Middletown Township so that I could assure Shamar (Shimmy) would be able to finish his last year at MNH. In March I had to make a major decision to take a home in Keansburg so that I could have a stable roof over my sons and I head. So he is now considered a Keansburg resident and must attend Keansburg High School. When the parent that I am tried to fight to keep him at MHN by going to court, and because Shamar has an IEP Keansburg is not going to let him attend MHN because “They have the services that are but in place through his IEP”  I truly understand all of this. But people this is this young man’s last year, his SENIOR YEAR. He is on the bowling team, he was on the track team, he does countless hours of community service being a part of the Middletown Police Explores. Please help me keep Shamar AKA Shimmy at Middletown High School North for his Senior Year!!!!
This is a message from a fellow officer who works with Shamar on the Police Explores!!!!


“So I would still make the call to the  Middletown Board of Ed office and make that claim that you were displaced from home around Xmas of 23 and have been bounced around to motel and hotel ever since. And that the assistance you receive has forced you to sign a lease in Keansburg just to keep a stable environment for Shamar who is a 16 year old autistic male. And that moving him out of his current HS of Midd North would not only be debating to his mental health but also throw him into a regression of behaviors you haven’t seen in years. Shamar is an active and positive  member of the mHSN school. He’s a student athlete, a member of Middletown Police Explorers who does countless hours of community service. Moving him at one of the most pivotal and transitional time in a young man’s life will negatively affect his education and ability to successfully finish out his Senior year and could have irreparable damage on his mental health”
