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

Tornado watch for Monmouth, Ocean counties

Monmouth and Ocean counties are under a tornado watch until 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, the National Weather Service said. The watch includes much of central New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. In addition, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Monmouth and northwest Ocean counties until 5:15 p.m. Nov. 12. Just after 5 p.m., Asbury Park Press reporters across Monmouth and Ocean counties were reporting soaking rain and “pencil eraser-sized hail” falling across the region, which had left a layer of ice on the ground now and was drowning out conversations inside homes. Manchester Police sent out a public robocall at 5:55 p.m. urging the public to stay off the roads due to “slippery roadways” as a result of the severe weather. In New Jersey, the tornado watch includes eight counties in addition to Monmouth and Ocean. The other counties are Burlington, Camden, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset. The severe thunderstorm warning includes northwestern Ocean, central Monmouth, the eastern central portion of Mercer and southeastern Middlesex counties. At 4:39 p.m., a severe thunderstorm was located 14 miles northwest of Toms River, moving east at 25 mph, all according to the weather service. Frequent and life-threatening lightning was also causing
