NJ Education Report

From the Asbury Park Press:

The Lakewood Board of Education swore in newly elected members Monday, and one of its first official actions was to oust longtime attorney Michael Inzelbuch, whose forte is special education. Inzelbuch’s critics repeatedly claimed he dominated the board and orchestrated how the majority of the board voted. Inzelbuch served as board attorney and was a district employee as the special education consultant…

Janice Boski, president of the Lakewood Education Association, said she was “in shock” with the positive direction of the board.

The union has been without a contract for two years and there has been a mass exodus of staff leaving for other districts with higher pay and fewer problems. The union and the school board are currently working with a mediator on the negotiations.
