State takeover of Lakewood schools clears judicial hurdle | Exclusive

TRENTON – A state judge will allow the Department of Education's takeover of the Lakewood Board of Education to continue. The judge issued a ruling last month denying the district’s request to have the hostile intervention stopped. The ruling, which the district immediately challenged with an appeal, was issued Oct. 1 but only made public this week. It moves the district a step closer to a state takeover, which was first announced by the state education department in January. Another hearing, however, will still have to be held to consider the state’s original claim that a takeover is necessary. That hearing has yet to be scheduled. Administrative Law Judge Susan Scarola issued the latest ruling that stated, “the commissioner may seek full state intervention,” later adding that Lakewood Schools have “shown insufficient compliance with quality performance indicators.” Lakewood school officials did not respond to requests for comment on the latest ruling. Scarola’s decision comes months after she held a hearing on the matter in June, during which Lakewood school board attorney Joshua Forsman sought to have the state’s intervention halted. Forsman called a full takeover “the most drastic remedy available” and “extreme.” In the 30-minute session before Scarola - the

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
