Utilizing State monies that pursuant to State law must be dedicated to nonpublic schools, the Lakewood Board of Education has gone out to Bid for security improvements for the 103 nonpublic schools that are located in Lakewood (see here). The Bid is due January 3, 2018 .
The Board has also gone out to Bid for security guards for nonpublic schools that, similarly, pursuant to State law must be dedicated to nonpublic schools. The Bid is due December 20 (see here).
The State Grant this year is for $2,210,115.00 dollars and is allocated to 103 schools based on school size and other factors determined by the State.
Last week, the Board of Education hosted a workshop with all the nonpublic schools to further explain the Grant with more than 50 schools in attendance. Thereafter, Superintendent Winters forwarded the attached correspondence to all the nonpublic schools reiterating what was discussed at the meeting and providing further information (see here).
General Counsel Michael Inzelbuch stated at the meeting that “This is another opportunity for schools to maximize existing State funding without any local dollars being impacted. Thank you to the Board of Education members and the Superintendent and District Administrators and Monitors for making this happen.”
