Dear Editor,
Many small-minded people who work inside of New Jersey's K-12 education system mislead parents of children registering for school, by claiming that there are required documents to register a child in school.
State law says a school district is required to register any student of school age who says they live within the district. Even if the child and parent lack any form of ID or other official documentation, the child still must be registered and allowed to attend school.
Districts must admit the student and then the parent may provide whatever documents they can get together. It is the "totality" of those documents that can prove residency.
For example, a birth certificate and a piece of mail would more than be sufficient ID under the law.
To protect your child from identity theft, you should NEVER provide a social security number to a school district or your drivers license. They have no legitimate use for this information.
A K-12 School is not the IRS, an employer, or a bank. How dare they demand a SSN?

Letter: State Should Implement Gambling Customer Identification Program
The expressed opinions or views of this letter does not necessarily represent the opinion of the MiddletownMike blog:
Dear Editor,
The Internal Revenue Service proposal to reduce the threshold of casinos and other lawful gambling businesses being forced to gather identifying information of gamblers, including social security numbers from $1,200 to $600 means that casinos would have to stop games at that threshold in order to gather that information.
If New Jersey required, under state law, all gambling businesses to gather this information before taking any bets or allowing any person to begin playing any game and keep accurate records of all bets placed and results subject to real-time web based audits by the State of New Jersey and IRS, gambling at any lawful amount could take place uninterrupted as it would already be fully compliant with the IRS requirements.
The legislature should implement automatic compliance with federal requirements through mandating a state gambling Customer Identification Program and real-time audits to ensure that our gambling industry can become more competitive and secure.
