U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced a few weeks ago that more than $13.2 billion in emergency relief funds are now available to state and local education agencies to support continued learning for K-12 students whose educations have been disrupted by the coronavirus, Shore News Network reports. Today, those figures were made public and only one school district in Ocean County is leaving the table with money hand over fist.  Lakewood Township is receiving $11,770,100 in funding. Combined, all of Ocean County’s other districts are receiving just $8,005,801 with a large portion of that, $1.6 million going to Toms River. In most school districts, the aid won’t even reimburse the superintendent’s salary.

  1. Is this perhaps connected to the number of students in a district? What a nice article for jew haters, Please a whole story not partial tidbits.

  2. The name is misleading since other districts have less people. Tom’s River is also more upscale, so they might not need as much funding.

    Many of the children that go here are the children of parents who work in Lakewood.

  3. There should be a third column showing how many school children there are in each district.Only then can one determine how fair this distribution is.

  4. Look where the money went to, the bus companies for not running busses, special ed subcontractor for not running classes and nursing contactors for not providing services.

  5. quick google search, should give you an idea, there still is a discrepency apparently, but it probably has to do with brackets, just like if you make 3 dollars more than the next guy you may land yourself in a higher tax bracket….
