ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree. No need for it in any way.
DeleteIt used to be the BOE took care of transportation of ALL students. Maybe it is time to go back to the way it was as the LSTA is not doing the job for the students/parents
ReplyDeleteYou aren't comparing apples to oranges - there were much fewer students and schools back then
DeleteThere were plenty of schools then and the BOE should run the transportation. There is no reason to have an outsider organization charge the taxpayers for this service that every year gets worse and worse.
DeleteIf you have HUD you will not be impacted by increased taxes I have confirmed as the voucher amount will increase and cover the difference
ReplyDeleteHuh? Not in my world
DeleteAnon 1:34,
DeleteYou are incorrect. The landlord is already receiving the max allotment, so the committee’s tax hike will force the rent amount to go above the FMR which will be shifted and added to the tenant’s portion.
So, let’s all give a big shkoyach the Meir, Menashe, and Isaac for once again forsaking the yungeleit.
What about Coles and the new lady committee member? They are not responsible for this? Vote for the VAAD endorsed candidate and all is good. :)
DeleteLSTA have high salaries plus getting paid as consultant to the BOE another 150k.
ReplyDeleteThe busses are coming late to school daily with kids missing class and are arriving home an hour late past dismissal
The 630 shachris bus is a waste and not a normal route it is empty buses driving around eating up tax money for routes that are not practical for 8 am shachris
There is no oversight
The BOE is inept and not doing their job of holding LSTA feet to the fire
Time to sue
sue and then we lose LSTA and then we wont get courtesy busing.
DeleteLSTA has nothing to do with us qualifying for courtesy bussing. The state mandates all students receive courtesy bussing. Give the bussing back to the BOE control.
DeleteIt may be time to abolish courtesy bussing so that there should be enough busses for the kids who live more than 2 miles from school. Pretty backwards to prioritize the kids who live closer.
DeleteYour courtesy bussing doesn't justify my kids sitting for 95 minutes on a bus, for a stop a mile from home.
DeleteDNC jewish brokers were in need of somebody to reinforce Aguda elite & askunim to themselves that their savviness in political strategy is above the mainstream experienced fellow jew -who happened to as was likely far ahead of those elite back in class
DeleteThe author of left- leaning "Tablets Shattered" has accomplished his mission down pat-in short.
I will go after LSTA but now might not be the time. AL As long as the BOE provided courtesy bussing, the state blamed our budgetary shortfalls on it. The LSTA is authorized by statute to do courtesy bussing if it has a surplus.
DeleteThe state has not put up the courtesy bussing smokescreen since the BOE transferred it to the LSTA. Still, there is no semblance of due process or accountability.
We should be getting the high court decision on whether the budgetary shortfalls and poor education are due mostly to the mismatch between the SFRA funding formula and Lakewood, or due to the alleged mismanagement of the BOE and superintendent. After we win will be the right time to make the LSTA accountable.
LSTA has become another self service quasi gov't entity that generates big salaries for a few connected individuals. Somehow the chasidish schools figured it out. And what LSTA did to Jackson and Toms River parents is nothing short of theft.

ReplyDeleteאבל הא ודאי שהשתתפות בבחירות וגם ההשתתפות בממשלה אין בהן משום העברה על השבועה ואינן גורמות סכנה, "שהרי אם תהיה חלילה מלחמה חדשה בעל כרחינו נהיה מוכרחים לקחת בה חלק ואפילו מדעתינו, ומשום חובה שהבא להרגך השכם להרגו."

Put that back in his context. Rather contrary to your aim
DeleteNot at all contrary to my aim. My point is that even Reb Reuvein held that it's poshut that it's incumbent upon us to help fight Israel's wars (gotcha, only when neccessary). Of course that is not always so simple due to the way things currently are in the IDF. But in principle there is no problem and even a chiyuv. BTW, In the past there was much more participation in the army by the chareidim than there currently is.
DeleteOut of context.Again
DeletePlease explain
DeleteRav Aharon Lichtenstein zatzal said that every ben torah is required, al pi halacha, to join the military. https://traditiononline.org/the-ideology-of-hesder/
ReplyDeleteHow can we PROTEST against something which, at the very least, is a legitimate debate?

ReplyDeleteHuh, Gur & Vishnitz, makes no sense they are Agudists and go to the army!!
ReplyDeleteIs Ger and Vishnitz going to protest against themselves! Lol
ReplyDeleteI called that they would cancel the atzeres, just a reminder to all the eitzniks here that real world conditions matter more than your bizarre hatred for Adirei.
