[snip] This district of economically disadvantaged, mostly Latino public school kids faces a chronic deficit, due to the huge costs of busing a ballooning Orthodox Jewish population to private schools, among other deep structural problems. Their parents just gathered in Trenton to protest.<br />Yet last year, as the district came clamoring for a $28 million bailout loan from the state, Inzelbuch bumped his annual compensation to nearly $715,000, and took home another $102,000 in July alone, the Press reported. The man is among the highest paid school contractors in New Jersey, if not the highest. He makes more than the governor does. So here’s our motion: If Lakewood wants any more money from the state, scrap his contract first.

I thank you for contributing t...Hi Jersey Jazzman,<br /><br />I thank you for contributing to this debate on using standardized tests during COVID-19. I appreciate your argument on the fact that students in low-income environments may not have the resources or the space to take these tests at home, and they are in need of equal opportunity. At this time, these tests have costs on everyone, but they can be especially impactful on low-income students. As I began to look more into this, I quickly found that you are not alone on this idea. Rebecca Cairns also suggests that there are equity issues with testing during COVID-19. She argues that tests have always been connected to equity and that the issue with exams and equity due to access will be even more extreme because of COVID-19 and the impact it is having (Cairns, 2020). It has also been found by Youki Terada, who examined data from the Pew Center, that before COVID-19 occurred, around 17 percent of adolescent students struggled with work assignments because they did not have access to any laptops or WIFI connection, and it was almost 10% higher for Black students (Terada, 2020). She believes that this means students of color and low-income students are going to have larger effects from COVID-19 than their peers (Terada, 2020). Schools are lacking in having needed resources to provide to their students, and this has been more visible since COVID-19. This demonstrates why testing would be unfair during this time. I urge you to continue to read about this issue, and write about it because it is so important right now to get the information out there. Thank you again for your post. I enjoyed reading it! <br /><br />Reference:<br />Cairns, R. (2020). Exams tested by Covid-19: An opportunity to rethink standardized senior secondary examinations.

The time to talk about grade retention was a year ago, or at least last summer in preparing for the 20-21 school year. The discussion should have been about how far we would run with the assumption that this school year isn't a grade level's worth of learning, from "let's be uniform about trimming/focusing curricula" out as far as "let's re-zero the grade-age alignment and make 'gets an extra year in classrooms' the default".

Ultimately, I believe it fails:<br /><br />1) There is a clear distinction between the bargaining function and the advocacy function of a public union. There is no such distinction between the educational function and the religious function of a religious school. All instruction, even in "secular" subjects, is infused with the doctrine of the school founders: you don't take down the crucifix on the wall when it's time for geometry.<br /><br />2) The plaintiff in Abood contends he suffers a harm when forced to pay for a service that is rendered to him as terms of his employment by a state actor. That is a very different question from whether the state should pay a religious institution for a service that the state already provides in public institutions. The 1A rights of public employees are not boundless, and it is well established that they do not enjoy unlimited free speech when that speech is directly related to their work. The Establishment Clause makes clear, however, that state funding for religion should be prohibited.<br /><br />The two situations just aren't the same. But, again, nice try, it's a clever juxtaposition.<br />Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535645107179796099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-69402491767433490992021-03-25T08:39:03.468-07:002021-03-25T08:39:03.468-07:00This is how the SC majority has addressed Souter&#...This is how the SC majority has addressed Souter's worry about "formalism" in regards to funding religion.<br /><br />"A concern for divertibility, as opposed to improper content, is misplaced not only because it fails to explain why the sort of aid that we have allowed is permissible, but also because it is boundless-enveloping all aid, no matter how trivial-and thus has only the most attenuated (if any) link to any realistic concern for preventing an 'establishment of religion.'"<br /><br />StateAidGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346914457455404884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-74086095882124936382021-03-15T18:15:28.958-07:002021-03-15T18:15:28.958-07:00I think your first paragraph contains a mistake in...<br />I think your first paragraph contains a mistake in how you used "LFS" and you meant "budget" or "spending" instead of that term. Assuming my assumption is correct, yes, you're 100% right that a huge percentage of Lakewood's spending is for transportation. When I checked the comparative data a few years ago, Lakewood's Classroom Spending per pupil was among the 20 lowest in NJ.<br /><br />I don't know how you would say if Lakewood's LFS is high or not. It's low compared to most suburbs, but it's high compared to most cities (technically $22,674 pp in 2020-21). It's also high due to Lakewood's own past, due to Lakewood's strong real estate market, which includes an industrial park. However, because Lakewood has expenses no other district has to the same degree, it is low compared to Lakewood's needs and Lakewood is further restricted from tapping it due to the tax cap.<br /><br />I do not agree at all about eliminating bussing for private school students. Although private school subsidies are often defended on the grounds that private schools save the taxpayer money, if you read the Emerson case, a large part of the rationale for allowing bussing was safety, ie, that if bussing were not offered, students would walk long, sometimes hazardous, routes. Since Emerson, worsening traffic by forcing parents to drive their kids has become a significant consideration, and I don't think worsening traffic benefits anyone. In the example of Lakewood, there would be MUCH worse traffic, since there are so many private schoolers. <br /><br />Frankly I think the US Supreme Court decides too much in our society anyway. I think the justices have their own ideological positions and then selectively cite precedent (and even dissents) to argue for whatever they already decided by gut instinct. Whatever any justice, including David Souter thinks, doesn't automatically persuade me. <br /><br />To the extent the antiquated, undemocratic US governmental structure forces me to care about what David Souter thinks, I think David Souter's logic if off because of the boundlessness of it and would prohibit any subsidy for a religious private school, no matter how small and indirect and no matter what whatever positive externalities it has (or negative externalities it prevents). It would also allow a grotesque scenario where secular elite private schools get a subsidy, but religious private schools serving working class kids cannot. <br /><br />In the case of Lakewood's transportation, the savings to a family doesn't even begin to cover a school's secular instruction, let alone religious + secular education. Therefore, I do not think it is subsidizing religious instruction in any real way, since a family would still be paying for a good percentage of secular education. <br /><br />But Mark, if you object to any subsidy for religious schools because of fungibility of money (the denial of which David Souter called "formalism") then it's hard to defend the old Abood case since a public sector union's money is no less fungible than a private school family's. <br /><br /><br />StateAidGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346914457455404884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-34759630025619366972021-03-14T10:44:01.287-07:002021-03-14T10:44:01.287-07:00Giuseppe, New Jersey was actually the first state ...Giuseppe, New Jersey was actually the first state to establish taxpayer support for private schools. The statute went before the SCOTUS, where it was upheld 5-4. See:<br /><br />https://www.oyez.org/cases/1940-1955/330us1<br /><br />It's ironic that NJ, consistently one of the highest ranked public school systems in the nation, was where the practice of supporting private schools was established as constitutional. Of course, I think the court got it totally wrong: this is obviously state support for religious indoctrination.<br /><br />ANY NJ student in a district's boundaries is entitled to transportation to a private school, so long as it is within a certain limit.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535645107179796099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-56519143495768002182021-03-14T10:37:43.786-07:002021-03-14T10:37:43.786-07:00The parallels to East Ramapo (and Brooklyn to a de...The parallels to East Ramapo (and Brooklyn to a degree) are obvious. But I am making a case here that the religious denomination of the citizens is beside the point. This is a group of families that have opted out of the public school system so large that they are electing leaders to make decisions that are not in the best interests of the students attending those schools. It's easy, to my mind, to think of this happening in any number of other scenarios.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535645107179796099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-22533754110521864592021-03-14T10:34:04.457-07:002021-03-14T10:34:04.457-07:00I will argue later in this series that the LFS is ...I will argue later in this series that the LFS is high for Lakewood precisely because so much of the budget is used for private school support. The township has offered to pick up the cost overruns of courtesy busing; I suspect if that is allowed you will see the school levy decrease quickly.<br /><br />I believe the SCOYUS ruled completely wrongly in previous cases on support for religious schools; it is a clear violation of 1A, and the twisted logic around it is best described by David Souter in his Zelamn dissent as "formalism."<br /><br />Setting that aside, one of the major rationales for private school support is that these students would otherwise enroll in the public schools, thus further burdening the system. But that is stretching credulity in this case. This is a town where families move in specifically for the religious education of their children. They have every right to do so; they do not have a right, IMO, to ask the rest of the taxpayers of this state to subsidize that choice.<br /><br />At the very least, the taxpayers have the right to make sure their interests are being served. Given the turmoil in the district for decades, it is clear more oversight is badly needed. But this costs money. I think it's a poor use of taxpayer funds; better to cut the private system lose of public revenue completely.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535645107179796099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-52191647563083505582021-03-13T18:37:40.028-08:002021-03-13T18:37:40.028-08:00There are real governance problems in Lakewood and...There are real governance problems in Lakewood and I think a state takeover is needed, but SFRA and the tax cap don't work for Lakewood for the following reasons. <br /><br />- A district's Adequacy Budget and hence its Equalization Aid are based on its on-roll enrollment, not students in private schools. <br /><br />- The state has Extraordinary Aid for sped OOD placement, but it is a partial reimbursement. A district's OOD tuition is also supposed to be funded with various fungible moneys, including Equalization Aid and the local tax levy. <br /><br />- Lakewood's OOD percentage is huge compared to its public school enrollment, but for a town that probably has 35-37,000 age-eligible kids, 350 kids in OOD placement is at NJ's average.<br /><br />Hence, SFRA doesn't work for Lakewood. In fact, the district has become slightly _overaided_.<br /><br />The Tax Cap Problem<br /><br />- All NJ districts have tax cap adjustments due to enrollment growth, but Lakewood's public school enrollment is slowly shrinking. Hence, it doesn't get a tax cap adjustment, even though the number of students it provides services to has increased.<br /><br />In 2016-17 Lakewood's tax levy exceeded LFS ($94,823,327 to $92,974,112), but now the LFS is much higher than the Adequacy Budget. ($105,870,754 to $134,643,568) <br /><br />I believe that a subsidy for private school education is more than justified, but the unique situation of Lakewood requires a three-part solution.<br /><br />1. greater state oversight.<br />2. tax cap liberalization<br />3. additional state aid.<br /><br />I wrote this piece a few years ago about the state aid problems. Although the piece is dated, I think it explains well why SFRA doesn't work for Lakewood.<br /><br />http://njeducationaid.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-origins-of-lakewoods-budget-disaster.html<br /><br />StateAidGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346914457455404884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-33596438633419309732021-03-10T14:11:57.012-08:002021-03-10T14:11:57.012-08:00I don’t get it, I always assumed that private/reli...I don’t get it, I always assumed that private/religious schools had to supply their own transportation.

There's a large Hasidic community, so the notable majority of resident students attend private yeshivot. There are 15 public school sites, but when the private schools are accounted the district provides daily transportation to about 100 total sites. <br /><br />About 15 years ago, state regulations/enforcement narrowed the district's authority to pass special ed placements & funding through to students attending yeshivot. The private school families starting voting down school district budgets and elected private school extremists to run the school board. Within a couple years, public high school students couldn't graduate on time because there weren't enough teachers to run the needed classes. District is/was (?) under direct state oversight for some time because of the various budget schenanigans.

Baloney, according to the US Census, NJ continues to gain in population. It is true that the gain is very small and that the rate of gain has gone down over the years but, nevertheless, a gain is a gain. NJ is still the most densely populated state. NJ may have the highest property taxes but the other taxes are comparable to most other states. People are not fleeing the rich communities in NJ. Princeton, for example, has high property taxes but people are not fleeing Princeton, quite the opposite. People with dough are tripping over themselves to reside in a very prestigious community.

Can we get some specific standards for safety, and then analyze how the protocols being planned will achieve or fall short of them, please? No one is willing to admit that we have to make tradeoffs, so we can't get a discussion on the table about which tradeoffs and risks are worthwhile and which aren't. <br />Teacher activists here have been doing a lot of work to move in this direction; they have thus far had some success in pushing school districts into starting 100% remote just because they don't successfully achieve 100% staffing, and hybrid models really rather require that, but not much movement beyond that ...

(Direct link to the letter itself is at the bottom.)<br /><br />Very frustrated likewise with, for example, AAP recommendations which say basically "standard, highly social in-person schooling is better for kids than all-remote; therefore we advocate re-opening with strict social distancing..." They're also trying to take credit for advocating for school as well because of saying "...<b>and</b> we should have increased funding to schools and good contract tracing to manage possible outbreaks and [several other pro-schooling policies]..." But I think they don't deserve credit for that when they are using "and" to conjoin the demands, obviously policy leaders will pick and choose. I would honor them as seriously advocating a real policy instead of a wish / daydream if they conjoined with "unless". <br /><br />1 more thing - not sure about NJ / elsewhere, hopefully people could comment in, but in NY when schools closed in March the Governor's orders included that the school district had to provide childcare for kids from essential work families. And this worked, they were careful, mostly following European model of consistent small pods. Yet now, that mandate has disappeared, and the care has absolutely disappeared with it - you can't provide care for those kids 100% of days when you are running hybrid education for the whole gen ed population on a 25%/33%/50% daily basis, so now those families that do literally rely on the school for full-time socialized childcare are only getting it 1 or at most 2 days per week. <br /><br />https://lft1760.wordpress.com/2020/08/14/an-open-letter-to-the-school-communities-in-westchester-and-putnam-counties/Benjamin Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115050650579749235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-1876842254512695352020-08-01T08:51:31.839-07:002020-08-01T08:51:31.839-07:00Wow wow wow.

You have put the thousands of jumbled of up thoughts I have had in the last few weeks into such clarity. I truly appreciate the time and energy you put into this amazing post. Strangely, it has made me breathe a little more deeply... at least for the day... and for that I thank you!!Aneal and Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404139263506166970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-64831378140915426512020-07-31T05:08:13.098-07:002020-07-31T05:08:13.098-07:00Thank you for this post - I am a middle school tea...Thank you for this post - I am a middle school teacher in NJ. I been so frustrated with the national conversation that I wrote an op-ed that I’m unable to edit effectively (I feel my students’ right now). You said it all here for me, so I’m sharing it. My only additional point would be that, kids are kids and parents are people . All of these reopening plans are delicately balanced atop the idea that everyone is going to do all the right things all day, everyday. And, they aren’t. This is on top of everyday, run-of-the-mill classroom management issues. Normally, they can be an inconvenience. Now, they could be a matter of life and death.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583492833788260847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-71616735899224215662020-07-30T18:24:45.452-07:002020-07-30T18:24:45.452-07:00Dear Mark,
Thank you for your brilliant posting. I...Dear Mark,<br />Thank you for your brilliant posting. I am your newest fan! <br />I am a 20 year teacher and there is one thing that keeps coming up nowadays re: COVID and return to school that I just cannot wrap my mind around. Keeping the "duty free lunch" issue aside for a moment, this concept of students eating in the classroom, masks off..."Don't have them congregate in the cafeteria - have them eat in the classroom - problem solved"<br />Huh?<br />Seriously? With all this talk about both teachers and students wearing masks all day long, "they" (CDC?) think teachers should have to be in an(unventilated) room supervising a large group of masks-off students for 30+ minutes a day? Wondering how this seemed to escape notice!!<br />-LaurenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545658100648106904noreply@blogger.com
