As it turned out, lack of newsworthiness was not the reason. TLS replied to my email, "We generally don’t post things sent out all over." I guess they wanted an exclusive. You can't own news. TLS does not have a monopoly over the news. The First Amendment is the property of all Americans, not that of one organization.

New vaad formed to tackle Lakewood high school and mesivta acceptance crisis
After the debacle and fiasco that took place the old vaad was forced out and an outside independent vaad was appointed. One idea was to just keep all the 8th graders back for another year which gives a full year to fix the problem if at that point there's still no breakthrough schools will hold them back for a 2nd year. Another proposal was to have mechitzos in the classrooms and have the girls go to the new mesivtos that have a hard time filling up. Surprisingly the feminists did ot like it; they wanted an all girls classroom.

With boards you build a mishkan and instead they are destroying klal yisrael with these boardzz. it's not a meat board its a beheime board banging his desk the board flew off the table and landed all over the floor. Its not baal tashchis said the rebbe just call it a floor board.

BREAKING NEWS: APPELLATE DIVISION GIVES MASSIVE WIN TO ARTHUR LANG'S LAWSUIT OVER UNFAIR SCHOOL FUNDING FOR LAKEWOOD
In a massive win for Lakewood's taxpayers and students, the New Jersey Appellate Division today granted a major win to Arthur Lang in his long running lawsuit known as Alcantra vs. Hespe, which seeks for a fairer funding formula for the Lakewood Public School District.
The 3-judge panel agreed with Mr. Lang's long time 2 arguments: 1) Lakewood's students are not receiving a constitutionally sound education, 2) the fault of this is because New Jersey's School Funding Formula is unconstitutional as applied to Lakewood's unique demographic situation.
The court held that the Commissioner of Education owes a thorough review of the most substantive argument - that the funding structure of the SFRA was unconstitutional as applied to Lakewood's unique demographic situation.

- Not a Purim joke: New Jersey state senator has proposed a bill that would ban the sale of non-flushable baby wipes throughout the state -- and would punish anyone who violates the ban with a fine of as much as $20,000. Earlier this week, Democratic lawmaker Joseph Cryan, introduced the bill, which notes that non-flushable baby wipes can mistakenly get flushed down a toilet leading to problems for municipal septic systems. If the bill is approved, anyone who sells non-flushable baby wipes in New Jersey could face a $10,000 on first offense and a $20,000 fine on any subsequent offenses.
