When Gov. Phil Murphy proposed his 2020 budget last week it revealed Lakewood School District would get a massive 63 percent hike in state funding, by far the largest of any district in the state.
But what state officials didn’t make clear is that the additional $14.9 million proposed for Lakewood is special treatment for the controversial district that isn’t called for in the state’s school funding formula.
This is bullshit!
Why cant he send it to barnegat since our super is a snake . Trying to screw over his community to make himself look better all while lying about the hole thing.
Randy Thau
Justine Rose Gargano people in that town need to stand up and fight .. I agree with you this is bullshit

Corrupt governor, corrupt town!!!
Yesterday we received a message from a current Lakewood High School student. That student informed us that high priced Board of Education attorney Michael Inzelbuch (the $600,000 man) was actually in the school interacting with students. Not a casual hello, not a “hey how ya doin’” but instead with an offer they couldn’t refuse.
“Today our school had an Advanced Placement breakfast, a last minute breakfast to present incentives for students, organized by your one and only Mr. Inzelbuch. Basically what went down is that he is offering money for our AP exam scores. If we get a score over 3 we can get up to $300 in cash and six flags season passes. There will be after school studying as well as busing on weekdays as well! And supper given out after our study sessions. We are a failing district so as a student I do appreciate the efforts in trying to better our scores but a man like Inzelbuch doesn’t just give without wanting something in return.”
What this student cannot possibly understand is the inappropriateness of the board of education attorney interacting with students, period.
Although we question the legality of offering cash and other incentives for test scores from any employee of the district (we are looking into that today), what in God’s name was the attorney doing there making such an offer? In what capacity did he make such an offer and on whose authority? Was this an approved activity sanctioned by the Board of Education? Where does the money come from? Who pays for the Six Flags tickets? Does any of this get deducted from the additional $30,000,000 in state aid?

Robert Haas I would like to know WHY a township Bd. Of Ed Attorney is being paid $600k??? What justifies that kind of salary???
Elaine corruption
I’m actually surprised people replying don’t seem to know the depths of unchecked corruption in Lakewood
This is ridiculous!!
Shari Brucker Stopera especially since other towns are losing significant funding.
Old Bridge closing and selling Cheesequake..
none of our taxes have gone down ,to the contrary we’ve been getting taxed left and right ..so where is all this money going that schools are losing money?
Yet we had 1.2 million dollars last fall semester for illegal immigrants college tuitions and now Lakewood private schools
????
Donna Jean Stralkus Toms River too. It’s absolutely infuriating
The problem is Lakewood has a tremendous population boom. The district has to provide bussing due an old state law. Therefore there is huge shortfall for Lakewood to work with, the other thing is if Lakewood didn’t provide bussing in theory all these new students can go to public school which will cost a lot more than bussing. There is no good answer, no matter what anyone does. If Lakewood schools fail, then it becomes the issue of neighboring districts to suck up the costs.
the articles states private schools … not public
Neily Hoops it’s called birth control & a good pair of glasses ??we are all getting screwed here….without vaseline. Sooooo sick of this filthy State & yes I would leave if not for family being here
Patrick Burke we must absorb the cost of religion groups that refuse to have kids attend the public schools ???
Patrick Burke Maybe these buses can pick up some of these people commenting. Cause majority of them can’t comprehend reading
Patrick Burke right. We have a state law from the stone ages that says we must provide bussing to private school students. Our State Senate and Assembly can try to change it. However if they do all these students are entitled to go to public school and that cost more than bussing.
Paula Zygmaniak Weber those kids are entitled to go to public school. Lakewood pays for their bussing due to an old state law. The law was written because bussing costs less than public school. The state can change the law, but then thousands of kids can enroll in Lakewood public schools in theory, which will put the district under. Then neighboring districts will get the burden. Like I said, there is no good answer here, really.
Neily Hoops even if we were to continue with the private school bussing, the point that they REQUIRE different busses for girls and boys at least doubles the cost! There could be one girl on a whole bus and 15 boys on another that go to the same neighborhood (because that’s where their schools are, in houses that are a sham) and they can’t be together.
Neily Hoops For religious reasons, these kids will never be in the public school system in Lakewood.
Neily Hoops sounds like you are very versed in this situation… still sounds rotten to the core … the corruption of this state and also said town blown my mind …
Charline Neigel right, but in theory they could go. Get on your representatives to change the law then, and hope there aren’t thousands of additional kids enrolling in public school. However, there will be a lot of people fighting to keep the law because every Parochial school in the state will then have their bussing pulled.
Patrick Burke I lived in this area a very long time and I read a lot.
We pay for these dirty Jews to take our public buses to their private schools.
Bullshit
Post this shit for the north jersey voters to read.
NO F……..G WAY
Prime example to put your kids in private school I stead of public school.
Thanks a lot Philth Murphy ??♂️????
Why are we paying for private schools in Lakewood when you what your child to go to St Joseph or St Domenic’s you pay tuition. Unfair if you ask me
Teresa Jasinski because you’re not a hacidic. They’re better than everyone else on earth so they get what they want ?♂️
That’s for “courtesy busing” to the more than 100 private schools in Lakewood. That brings a couple of questions to my mind; first why does Lakewood need 100 private schools and why are the taxpayers of New Jersey on the hook for busing that is not required by law?
Laura Shaw last I read a while ago it was over 200 private Lakewood schools!!
Laura Shaw last I read a while ago it was over 200 private Lakewood schools!!
It is required by law for private schools, same for public. A certain distance from home to school. Most of Lakeeood is courtesy busing, that’s what the problem is. Get rid of courtesy busing!!
patty wap this isn’t for courtesy busing if you read the article it’s for their private Schools.
They have so many schools because the girls and boys are NOT allowed to attend the same school. And They break it down by ages also. I work in Lakewood and now all their gimmicks
Lakewood is so corrupt it sad if yall follow rise up ocean county there trying to uncover all the shady shit that gos on it that town
Robert Haas yes! RUOC is the best! They’re fighting the good fight with us!
Yea the Jews tried “taking legal action” Against the page ??
They got real nervous when that video came out of there meeting on “how to take over Jackson”
Dylan yes they did lol
That video was nuts
Dylan Wolfgang Where can I find that video!?
Phil Murphy buying votes at the expense of the tax payers.
Only money and votes matter to a politician, at any cost to the taxpayer.
Why? Back door deals, payola, corruption, anti working class and democratic deceit. What did I forget?
They sure know how the system SMH.
In the meantime, public schools are going down the tubes. The state is supporting schools that are not providing a decent education and not preparing their children to survive in any world but their own. Sad
Pattie Parker yes! ?!
Pattie Parker your response…yessssss!! You said exactly what I was thinking!
They don’t learn so many of the basic things our kids learn when they’re very small! There’s mostly religious education and maybe some math. Nothing else. If there is, it’s not much. They cannot go on to be productive members of regular society, just coexist within their own. It shouldn’t be legal.
Lori McClane ….I drove a bus for a Jewish school….the boys told me “there’s no such thing as dinosaurs…”
i know for a fact, ive heard interviews with people who have left the community. you learn absolutely NOTHING in private school that is helpful in the real world. you just learn religious textbook stuff. thats all. nothing!
This LAKEWOOD BLEEDING THE STATE DRY MUST STOP………ENOUGH WITH THE WELFARE RECIPIENTS ALREADY. YOU CAN SCREW….THEN YOU CAN PAY FOR ALL THOSE KIDS & THEIR BS THAT COMES WITH THEM
Lost their money thrpugh state assistance programs so it will get it this way.
honda odyssey dealership
Good well the lakewood thieves can pay the 15mil with all the stolen money they have. You have got to be f*@king kidding me!!
Can’t wait to leave this crap hole
For private schools only??? This makes me mad because the money that Lakewood gets already has to be spit between public and private schools. What are private schools more entitled to money and public schools are not?? The system has seriously failed kids that attend Lakewood public school.
Bobby Schinder
Because our governor is a thief and is corrupt!
another reason to leave this over taxed state
This group of people is out of control and must be stopped! The filth and corruption in Lakewood is so un-American. Jim Jones preached his religion also but it was a Cult!!! That community is no better!
Absolutely horrible!
This guy is a big jerk off all about the money !!!! Scum bag
Yeah Once I have my house fully paid off I’m definitely selling it and moving the fuck out of this shitty state . Sucks because I was born here and I love the actual state . But when it’s ran by the biggest scumbags that just keep fucking everyone over but the Jews and illegal immigrants, you know it’s the most corrupt state .
Yet another reason to leave NJ!
no because it is happening everywhere and you have to fight not run!
I left Brooklyn because of this same bull
Pattie Lamberson not NJ just lakewood
Oh hell no!!
And what do the cids contribute to our school systems! Not a dam thing ! Screw them !
That’s such bullshit these assholes where stealing from NJ
Now u know where this clown got his votes from
This is wrong on so many levels
WHY?
I was told in Israel the have signs stating that people should come to Lakewood for advancement
Disgusted
This is just fucking digusting.
And they contribute nothing in taxes or to the community!!! Just take take take
Total BS waste of money!!!
Aaaand this is why I ain’t working on the books in NJ anymore. I ain’t working to give these scumbags my money
Wow
How is this fair
Send them back to wherever this is Bull crap we the tax payers have to pay for them . They are all on Welfare something has to be done
Hate this state. More sneaky back door Democrat shit at its best.
It’s insane why do they keep giving to these people they pay for nothing no taxes lie about their housing situation and the women claim they are not married with ten kids thank our wonderful governor Murphy how about giving something to law biding tax payers
That’s just nuts!!! Just say no!
Lakewood is a shit hole! My tax money should not go to fund private schools! Start making the people in Lakewood accountable for the schools! They should use the money to build a wall around Lakewood !
What a god damn joke, sure lets fund more corruption
There on to us.,,,
Is this why our taxes are always going up. This is wrong. Talk about taking advantage.
Ridiculous. Thanks Murph
Murphy’s Law
this is so unfair. they get more than enough money and are never satisfied. I went to private grammar school and high school and my mother paid for our tuition, books, uniforms, shoes, etc. we never got any money from the government. I am sick and tied of this
Lakewood’s corrupt and so is Murphy! Should anyone be surprised? We’ll be cleaning up Murphy’s mess for decades
If you are really concerned join the Rise Up Ocean County FB page. They keep exposing the corruption in Lakewood and help the residents of Toms River, Jackson and Brick by keeping them informed
Dave Tober I was going to suggest that too. Great FB page.
Why does the town of Lakewood pay for private education busing? A scam for the town to provide free busing to yeshiva private schools of which there are approximately 115 yeshivas in Lakewood. Where did that huge influx of children come from to sustain 115 private schools? Let the parents of the yeshiva children pay their own transportation costs, as do the parents of other children who go to private schools. Not the town which provides free public school and busing to students.
Renee Lachapelle it’s a community of parasites.
Renee Lachapelle why indeed!!! This is going to stop!!!!
Billshit
Giving special treatment to one group of people causes
Hate. The government incites hate by their special treatment of these groups. Don’t call
It antisemitism, call it what it really is, Antifavoritism.
Nick Forte
Why cant a law suit be filed over church and state. I dont want my taxes funding any religious institution. Period. Politicians are on their knees giving out blow jobs for votes.
Fuck this shit, what else can we just hand them ?!?
Soooo, Toms River, Brick, Howell and Jackson(and I’m sure others)are losing funding and Lakewood is getting more funding for private schools???, something ain’t right with this picture…..TM
What a fucking scam!
I call BULLSHIT in plain English and I don’t care who is offended.
Yet they are TAKING FROM TOMS RIVER SCHOOLS and TUCKERTON area schools! Better grades less paid per student and they want to cut the budgets!
Bobbie Lyn Harrsch and Brick..
Tricia Januska hadn’t heard about Brick yet
Bobbie Lyn Harrsch yes.. I saw a post on Mon or Tues..
Tricia Januska notice they all non Jewish districts!
WHY IS ANYONE SURPRISED?? LMAO IT’S SWEENEY AND MURPHY… I cried when they were elected I am not surprised at this.. I hope the ones that elected Murphy are really happy
So let me get this crap straight.
We are going to fund a towns Jewish schools with our tax money to fund Jewish families who dont pay a dime of taxes??
Wrong?
One of the problems, the press and many politicians refer to these schools as private schools when they are in fact religious schools.
W
Haha, this is what happens when you elect a friggin Democrat. Way to go New Jersey
Fuckin joke
And there are those people who still don’t understand why so many people are less than thrilled with the community of Lakewood.
Have them pay fuckin taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
right , well that makes sense keep the hasidic jews happy to keep collecting welfare for votes?? work harder NJ, u vote blue?, u gotta pay for all this SHIT !
right , well that makes sense keep the hasidic jews happy to keep collecting welfare for votes?? work harder NJ, u vote blue?, u gotta pay for all this SHIT !
It’s fucking wrong . Why are we paying for those schools when they have money out the ass ? They don’t pay any taxes at all .
63% hike for private schools for people who don’t pay taxes. Makes sense.
Didn’t Lakewood steal enough?
Now that their done scamming medical insurance their scamming the school system.
Lori Ann Pascarella this isn’t even rise up ocean county it’s a regular news page
Why
Bs . This is Toms Rivers Fate
Nope
Absolutely not! Put this up for vote. I can guarantee how it will go. The mismanagement of tax dollars in that town is f’d up and you want my tax dollars to pay!? Hell NO
Just like how taxes are lower in that town, all private schools, not any of them drivers are insured that town gets away with everything
Nick Prutky town judge is a hasidic as well so he lets them all go .. sickening
Time to clean up that shirt hole…. its a fucking joke
Such bullshit ,I do not understand why they get everything
Why is ANYONE staying. Moving to PA asap. Wait till you all start paying for huge influx of illegals too. NJ seeking sanctuary state status. I can’t wait to gtfo!
Gail Hans Gruning
Time to repay the favor (votes)
They use our tax to build their empire
Tax religious institutions like any other business institutions because, after all, that is what they are. Not just in NJ, but across the country.
Joe Dolan I agree 100%. Chick
Is this what NJ residents voted for? To give preferencial treatment to specific religious schools while while the public schools go down the drain? Nearly every resident in Lakewood tries to have their house deemed a religious school so they will not have to pay taxes and now Murphy is going to sweeten the deal by subsidizing the religious schools. And when illegal immigrants start flocking to NJ they are going to need to be subsidized. It will only be a matter of time before Murphy gives the illegals the right to vote.
I agree with you Joe 100%
Ahhh. Religious intolerance at its finest. These maga hat wearing neo nazis love to bash Lakewood, but the fact of the matter is orthodox Jewish communities rebuilt Lakewood in ways we never cared to. They’ve made it beautiful added jobs and infrastructure. And in case anyone actually gives a shit it’s the best place in the world to go to school if you’re looking to be a Rabi. I am just happy to see so many jobs created and buildings homes and stores being built, they’re nice people. Shy and inclusive but human and normal. If you actually spend time with them or in Lakewood you could get to know them and see a different side than your alt right tea party white nationalists would have you believe.
Noah Huyler do you see all the corruption and fraud going on? Most moms are on welfare and live in some big beautiful homes paid by taxpayers. Anyone who does that is an asshole and others wouldn’t have gotten amnesty for it! Stop the antisemitic bullshit!
Noah Huyler this is not Religious intolerance… this is what is good for the goose is good for the gander!!! I want for my children n grandchildren what they get for theirs ! Plain and simple. But do not take from mine to give to them who do nothing in return!
I don’t know where you are looking but you obviously haven’t driven up Rt9 or 8th Ave and saw the way they live and keep those neighborhoods!!! A total disgrace! Don’t tell me they built up Lakewood … go around the Lake and look at the homes n streets it’s horrifying… looks like a war zone! Please sounds to me you are playing favorites here!!!
Noah Huyler I pay taxes in this town. My kid went to parochial school, which I paid for . You want your kid to go to private school, pay for it yourself , drive them yourself, you horrible,naming calling man. You want a be a rabi? You should be ashamed of yourself. How dare you call names. You don’t add anything to the economy of this town but take, take take!!!!! Every single school in Lakewood should be investigated, for fraud.
Your are a horrible person!!!!!!!!
Noah Huyler horrible man!
With all the corruption, WTF?
Why do we have to fund private schools? BS. They should use the money they stole!
Its against the law!!! I researched last year like a crazy person. This asshole keeps breaking the law and no one can manage to get him thrown out of office! State and federal funding is not allowed for private schools. They can only get TAX breaks. Not funding. Y is he getting away with this and no one say anything??!?!?!.!.!
But yet they want to RIP funds out of Lacey. That town is draining ocean county dry. Corruption at its finest.
Thats bs. Where is he getting all this free money?
Put them on a bus to a boat and send them out of this fucking country. No one wants them here.
Very oy veyish
I Want My COLA
That’s a parents choice. Public school busing yes, private school parents foot the bill. Sorry!of you can afford private then you pay. I can’t and won’t.
Are u ? kidding me why do they get everything and we get crap
Not surprising
Ur kidding me!!!??♀️??♀️
Ur kidding me!!!??♀️??♀️
Vote red!
Comrade Murphy cementing his base.
that money should go to kids lunches or breakfasts bc the parents are working two jobs and still cant afford anything not ppl who dont work but go to school till they are 75 years old get a grip nj gov .org
You hide behind your religion and shout religious intolerance at the top of your lungs that you a victim, what it comes down to is you think you are above everyone, and it is your right to have what you want. Wrong! I pay taxes here, why are there 900 private schools in this town, why do I have to foot the bill for busing your kids to New York, when there are 900 schools in Lakewood?
Murphy the lying POS needs to go..
Why should we enable these residents of Lakewood to further destroy that community?
It shows who voted Murphy in.
I not surprised, of course there a favorite. Think about why
Boo
Lakewood people should open up a lawsuit over this ……
Please write anyone you could to get a news station or someone to do a international story in the news about it
It stinks all the way to the top officials in New Jersey
Didn’t I also just see something about privatizing the school bus system in Lakewood?
If so then I would believe that some Jewish man had figured a way to profit off all of us by gaming the system. Exactly like the welfare fraud going on. Not a surprise
