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.

Seaside Heights Settles Suit Over Swinging Boardwalk Lights

Seaside Heights has settled a lawsuit over swinging boardwalk light fixtures, bringing a legal dispute involving the borough's boardwalk lighting to a close. The project traces back to a contract the borough awarded to replace its boardwalk lights, a job that officials said was fully covered by a $4,795,362 state boardwalk preservation grant, according to earlier reporting from Shorebeat. The planned work called for replacing the existing lights with stainless-steel fixtures and LEDs. The old-style lighting required more frequent bulb changes and drew more energy, the outlet had reported.
