Reply To: School Board Monitors in Lakewood & East Ramapo

You are correct, the yeshivas can go back to opening the same time but the problem is the busing routes were already made for the school year and can’t be changed.

As to the tax increase,it will be voted down both by the the elected board and the public.

The elected board is already suing the monitor regarding a special ed provider’s contract that was vetoed by the monitor so this will only be another lawsuit which will cost the underfunded school district more. Which will mean less funds for education.

As far as NY & NJ having different rules and regulations, NY is trying to copy NJ and give the school monitor veto power. If this happens the same thing will happen. Also, the state will be on the hook if the district is sued.
