The New Jersey acting Education Commissioner is expected to issue her decision later today regarding the Lakewood School District's ability to properly meet its obligations and provide a "thorough and efficient" (T&E) education to its students.
The expected decision, with potentially enormous ramifications, is the latest step in a long and drawn-out legal battle following the 2014 lawsuit filed by Lakewood High School math teacher Arthur Lang (@lakewoodlawNJ), which claims the state funding formula is unconstitutional.
The state school aid formula determines each district’s needs based on overall public school enrollment and assessed wealth. But Lakewood gets assessed by its roughly 6,000 public school students despite the fact that there are nearly 40,000 private school students.

President Trump has commuted the sentence of Boaz Nahmani, a first-time offender who was sentenced in July 2015 to
20 years (240 months) in prison for the distribution of synthetic marijuana.
Boaz, also known as Ronen, was found liable for selling smoking products for distribution in Massachusetts at a time when they were not regulated, but which were then resold by Ronen's customer at a time when the products were
unlawful.
He was given a severe 20-year sentence-the federal
statutory maximum for conspiring to possess controlled substances-because he went to trial to
dispute whether the products he was selling actually met the requirements of an analogue of marijuana.
