- Agudah chairman's take: Today's legislative win, a Federal Scholarship Tax Credit being included in the newly passed bill, represents that- the thankless, sometimes overwhelming, lonely work of one yachid after another, twelve years worth of Agudath Israel staffers focused on a goal that few believed would ever pass. Only the One Who keeps cheshbon knows the names of the individuals who gave heart, soul, energy and time to this mission, but in Shamayim, they will no doubt be included among the greatest supporters of Torah in history, responsible for easing the plight of tens of thousands of yeshivah parents. Our only reaction is one of shirah- to the Borei Olam, and to these heroes. Over the last week, we saw the roller coaster of optimism, then crushing disappointment, how easy it is to give up and say "I tried." They never stopped trying, though, and today, we sing: Az yashir Yisrael...

The district, which enrolls about 14,600 students, has seen state aid slashed by $175 million in recent years under a revised school funding formula.The school board on Monday refused to approve a budget for the next fiscal year. Officials say closing a $22.3 million gap would require a nearly 13% property tax increase, on top of a 9.3% hike the year before and the sale of $20 million in district assets.

STATEMENT FROM THE ELI EISENBACH CAMPAIGN
ReplyDeleteCandidate for Lakewood Board of Education
RE: Toms River Bankruptcy Crisis and the Failure of Trenton’s School Funding Formula
“The looming bankruptcy of the Toms River Regional School District is a direct result of Trenton's broken, politically-driven school funding formula—and it should be a wake-up call for every community in New Jersey. Toms River has lost $175 million in state aid over recent years. Now they’re being forced to consider massive property tax hikes, asset sales, and devastating cuts to student services. This is what happens when the state plays favorites with our children’s futures.
Lakewood has faced similar threats. For years, we’ve had to go begging to the state for emergency funding, while the flawed formula continues to shortchange our students and punish our taxpayers.
As a member of the Lakewood Board of Education, I will make it my mission to lead the charge statewide to demand a full overhaul of the school funding formula—one that is based on real enrollment, real need, and real fairness, not political pressure or outdated data. I will fight to ensure that no district—Lakewood, Toms River, or anywhere else—has to choose between bankruptcy and abandoning their students.
Enough is enough. Trenton has failed. It’s time for local leadership to step up—and I’m ready to get to work on Day One.”
– Eli Eisenbach
Candidate, Lakewood Board of Education
State playing favorites -- you mean minority district known as Abbott Districts which are almost completely financed by Trenton.
DeleteRepublocans annually try to do something about it, but Demoncrats and the knucklehead-in-chief support increasing taxes .
You know, the original purpose of limiting the SALT deduction limits was to encourage states to cut taxes
But not NJ, taxes are sacrosant here.
The Cancel Generation – “Kanaim” Are Running Klal Yisroel
ReplyDeletehttps://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/2420963/mailbag-the-cancel-generation-kanaim-are-running-klal-yisroel.html
Are you serious??
DeleteThe filthy trashy YWN who has been canceling large segments of klal yisroel for years,, all of a sudden is worried about cancel culture!!!
What have they done to Eitz and peleg all the years
What have they done to anyone who their phony one man editorial board didn't agree with all these years
Labeling anyone who disagrees with their hashkafos as kanaaim is the biggest attempt at cancel culture
It's pretty telling that if the Bais Havaad has to resort to fake mail bag letters on YWN they are in deep crisis
Maran Rav Chaim Kanievsky zatzal and rov Gedolei Yisroel CANCELED Eitz and Peleg
DeleteAnon 1:16 what are you even saying????
DeleteMaran Rav Elya Ber Rav Shlomo Miller Rav Sriel Rosenberg Cancelled the Bais Havaad
DeleteYWN called Curtis Sliwa selfish for staying in the race.
DeleteThis has caused much sinas yisroel by media and other politicians the news anchors on 770 were kiwis about it as it was coming from the Jews..
Let the world know that YWN represents no-one but themselves
They do not represent any other Jews and no one should be held accountable for what they do and publish
Rule of thumb, whatever you read in ywn trashbag, take the other side of that issue.
DeleteI don't get ot how people still give YWN money and fuel to continue their chilul Shem Shomayim. Each click on their filth gives them money and the ability to continue
DeleteWhy don't we hear anything from the rosh yeshivos? Don't they have a opinion?
DeleteIf a rosh yeshiva says something you remark "he's a rosh not a posek" if a rosh yeshiva is quiet then you complain he didn't speak. Make up your mind.
DeleteHow much redifos and can culture went on during covid from the YWN modox loving leftists against Rabbonim who didn't toe the line with their covid rules when they shut it all down?
DeleteEnough with this despicable sewage website that has nothing in common with the real yeshiva world

ReplyDeleteWhat exactly has Assemblyman Avi Schnall accomplished, aside from taking credit for dome annual grants that were already coming before he was elected? He’s been helpful to the big organizations, sure but what has he actually done for the average middle-class taxpayer?
Families are now facing higher daycare costs, and Lakewood property taxes are going up again—by an average of $800 to $1,000. Where are all his so-called "big connections" in the Assembly now?
Who is he really working for?
Meanwhile, the state has been cutting back funding for Lakewood and Toms River. As for the recently passed tuition bill he didn’t need to get elected in Trenton to speak out about that. Making noise is easy. Delivering results for everyday families is what counts.
Strawman.What can be done?
ReplyDelete24six is pushing the envelope with progressive podcasts and singers that are highly problematic, such as Israeli singer who SING with women. And they have the audacity to advertise they're for Yeshiva people when the Lakewood RY signed against them?!
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't the Lakewood school district declare bankruptcy just like Toms River did they would discharge all the loans they owe the state which they have no hope in repaying regardless. The state would then have to step in and pay the bill Win win. Is it because all the movers and shakers have contracts with the school district which would be voided if the School District declared bankruptcy??
ReplyDeleteWe need to FIX THE FORMULA
DeleteSome CHUTZPA of Aguda to take credit for this bill
ReplyDeleteIt was only passed because of President Trump who the Agudah leadership has publicly despised him and ridiculed him he was publicly attacked at their keynote convention speech. Agudah has been supporting dirty democrats who fought this to the end and now pretend like they are heroes such כפויי טובה with no thank you to Trump their nemesis
We enjoyed their self-praise.

ReplyDeleteWhy can't Aguda and OU congratulate each other on the tuition bill aren't they both here for the klal
ReplyDeleteWhat about those earnest askanim who aren't part of either of them ?
ReplyDeleteA lot of catholics just got a havtacha for oilam habah from the agudah, they are the ones who got this bill passed(along with anti woke republicans) agudah and ou were like the fans watching in the stands and cheering
