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.
