PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The core issue in this case is the way the State calculates
the funding necessary for a Thorough and Efficient system of
public schools in Lakewood. New Jersey school budgets are
based solely on the number of children in the public schools.
However, the school budget must statutorily provide for
transportation and special education of all children who
reside in the District. Lakewood is unique because it has
approximately 25,000 children who attend nonpublic schools and
only 6,020 who attend public schools. Almost half the total
school budget is spent on statutorily mandated transportation
and special education. Lakewood does not have the means to
provide an adequate education for its public school students
because of these expenses. As noted, the mandated costs
consume half the budget, eviscerating public school
curriculum, programs and courses. The latest census data show
Lakewood as one of the lowest income communities in New
Jersey. Consequently, a multiplication based on public school
students short-changes them dramatically.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On June 24, 2014, Petitioners who are students of public
and nonpublic schools in Lakewood and their parents filed a
petition challenging the allocation method and the amount of
State funding received by the Lakewood School District.
On July 7, 2014 Petitioners submitted an Amended Petition.
On September 2, 2014 the Respondents moved to dismiss the
Petition for failure to name the Lakewood Board of Education
as a party, for failure to allege a sufficient factual basis
to demonstrate the Petitioners’ standing, and because the
remedies sought are not available in this type of proceeding.
The Commissioner of Education subsequently sent the matter to
the Office of Administrative Law.
On January 14, 2015 Professor Paul L. Tractenberg moved for
leave to participate.
On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg
leave to participate.
On July 23, 2015 the Court denied Respondents' motion to
dismiss.
STATEMENT OF THE FACTS
The facts in this case are undisputed. They are matters
of public record for administrative notice, and respondents
have not denied their existence.

STANDARD FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
The legal standard for summary judgment is found in Brill
v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America, 142 N.J. 520, (N.J.,
1995). A court must make “a determination whether there exists
a ‘genuine issue’ of material fact that precludes summary
judgment requir[ing] the motion judge to consider whether the
competent evidential materials presented, when viewed in the
light most favorable to the non-moving party, are sufficient
to permit a rational factfinder to resolve the alleged
disputed issue in favor of the non-moving party.” Id. at 540.
The Uniform Administrative Procedure Rules provide for
summary judgment:
“(a) A party may move for summary decision upon all or any of the substantive issues in a contested case. . . . (b)When a motion for summary decision is made and supported, an adverse party in order to prevail must by responding affidavit set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue which can only be determined in an evidentiary proceeding. Such response must be filed within 20 days of service of the motion. A reply, if any, must be filed no later than 10 days thereafter. If the adverse party does not so respond, a summary decision, if appropriate, shall be entered.” N.J.A.C. § 1:1-12.5
Petitioners incorporate by reference their Request for
Admissions in Exhibit A, including Appendices 1-7, submitted
to Respondents on December 28, 2015, which pursuant to
N.J.A.C. §1:1-10.4, “in the case of a notice requesting

13
admissions, each matter therein shall be admitted unless
within the 15 days the receiving party answers, admits or
denies the request or objects to it pursuant to N.J.A.C. 1:1-
10.4(d).” It has been 53 days since Petitioners have made
their request for admissions. The data in the Request for
Admissions were collected from the Respondents’ and other
public sources and should be considered admitted,
uncontroversial and administratively noticed.
LEGAL ARGUMENT
POINT I. THE CALCULATION OF THE COST OF EDUCATIONAL ADEQUACY IN LAKEWOOD FAILS TO REFLECT ACTUAL MANDATED EXPENSES NECESSARY FOR THE SYSTEM OF FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEREBY DEPRIVING THE CHILDREN OF LAKEWOOD THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO A THOROUGH AND EFFICIENT EDUCATION.
The New Jersey Constitution entitles the children of this
State to a "thorough and efficient education." N.J. Const.
art. VIII, § 4. To meet its constitutional duty, the School
Finance Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA) “allocates state resources
to school districts, while also requiring certain levels of
funding at the local level.” Abbott ex rel. Abbott v. Burke
(Abbott XX), 199 N.J. 140, 152 (2009). The Adequacy Budget is
the core calculation of the money needed to provide T & E.
“SFRA identifies a base cost associated with the education of an elementary pupil without any particular special needs. Once identified, the per-
![Page 14: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
pupil amount is increased to reflect characteristics that are widely accepted as increasing the cost of education. Those characteristics are: 1) grade level, and whether the pupil is 2) an at-risk pupil (defined as one eligible for a free- or reduced-price lunch), 3) a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) pupil, or 4) a special education student of mild, moderate, or severe classification.” Id. at 152.
The grade level multipliers are provided by N.J.S.A 18A:7F-
50. The at-risk and LEP multipliers are provided by N.J.S.A
18A:7F-51.
The State share in the Adequacy Budget is referred to as
Equalization Aid provided by N.J.S.A 18A:7F-52 and N.J.S.A
18A:7F-53.
“Equalization Aid is State-provided aid to support the Adequacy Budget by funding the difference between a district's Local Fair Share (LFS) and its Adequacy Budget. A district's LFS is the amount it is required to contribute in support of the Adequacy Budget. That amount is determined by adding a district's equalized property wealth and its equalized income wealth. Under SFRA, a district must provide the lesser of either its LFS, as calculated using SFRA's formula, or the local share it raised in the previous year. In short, Equalization Aid is the difference between a district's LFS and its Adequacy Budget.” Id. at 155.
The SFRA also provides districts with additional aid known
as Categorical Aid.
“Categorical Aid is a separate funding stream provided on a per-pupil basis for certain expenses. Categorical Aid covers: (1) one-third of census-based costs for special education; (2) security; (3) preschool aid; (4) extraordinary aid for special
![Page 15: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
education; and (5) various additional aid categories.” Id. at 155.
Categorical and extraordinary special education aid is
provided by N.J.S.A 18A:7F-55; security aid by N.J.S.A 18A:7F-
56; and preschool aid by N.J.S.A 18A:7F-54. The various
additional aid categories the “formula also provides for [are]
transportation aid, choice aid, and debt service on the basis
of per-pupil categorical aid factors.” Id. at 155.(N.J.S.A
18A:7F-57, N.J.S.A 18A:7F-62 and N.J.S.A 18A:7G-9
respectively.)
One-third of the SFRA expense to educate each special
education child is funded as Categorical Aid. It is not part
of the SFRA Adequacy Budget and therefore not subject to the
deduction of the Local Fair Share in determining equalization
aid. Nonetheless, it is important to include this expense in
determining the cost of T & E. “To determine whether a
district is over or under adequacy, the DOE compares the sum
of a district's adequacy budget plus Special Education
Categorical Aid and Security Aid to the district's spending in
the current year.” Abbott v. Burke (Abbott XXI), 206 N.J. 332,
433 ft. nt. 35 (N.J., 2011).
A. RESPONDENTS CALCULATE THE ADEQUACY BUDGET IN LAKEWOOD AS $119 MILLION BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

22, hereafter 1:22). This amount is based on the number of
children attending the public schools. It does not take
account of the number of nonpublic school children served by
the district. The SFRA makes no provision for counting
nonpublic school students in determining adequacy. If we
include the $2,975,869 (1:49) in special education categorical
aid and the $2,161,835 in security aid (1:50) the total amount
needed to meet Respondents’ measure of adequacy is
$124,472,456. The Operating Budget of the Lakewood School
District is $120,830,423. Based on these two figures, Lakewood
appears to be more or less providing its students with an
adequate education.
B. RESPONDENTS FAIL TO INCLUDE THE COST OF PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION AND A FREE AND APPROPRIATE PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN IN A BASE POPULATION FIVE TIMES THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN COUNTED IN THE CALCULATION OF ADEQUACY.
Currently, 6,020 students attend Lakewood Public Schools
(1:4). Adequacy is calculated for Lakewood solely using the
number of students enrolled in the public schools even though
31,000 K-12 students attend schools in Lakewood and are
eligible for district services. All 31,000 children are
entitled to evaluation and a Free and Appropriate Public
Education should they have special needs under the child find

provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
of 2004. “All children with disabilities residing in the
State, including . . . children with disabilities attending
private schools, regardless of the severity of their
disabilities, and who are in need of special education and
related services, are identified, located, and evaluated. . .
.” 20 U.S. Code § 1412. All 31,000 children, including
nonpublic students, are entitled to remote transportation if
they live 2 miles away from their elementary school and 2 ½
miles away from their secondary school consistent with
N.J.S.A. 18A:39-1.
The Lakewood School District is mandated to provide 19,904
students with remote transportation (Exhibit B, Page 53). The
transportation cost to the district submitted in the Requests
for Admissions is $17,972,788 (1:25). Evidence of Lakewood’s
and the various other districts’ transportation expenses was
collected from each district’s User Friendly Budget line item
“Undist. Expend.-Student Transportation.” This the expense for
transportation of regular education students. Apparently, the
budgeted expense for Lakewood was too low. The actual expense
is $19,659,741 for regular education children. Some of this
expense includes discretionary non-remote hazardous
transportation pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:39-1.5. If we include
![Page 18: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

the mandated transportation expense of special education
children, the total transportation expense is $24,522,201.
Lakewood spends 20.5% of its adequacy budget of $119,334,752
on transportation of regular education and special education
students.
The disproportionately high expense for a district of only
6,020 children is due to the unique demography of Lakewood in
which less than one-fifth of the 31,000 resident K-12 children
attend the public schools. Had the SFRA included all 31,000
children in its calculation of adequacy, the expense would
have been much less disproportionate. Paterson, with 27,310
students enrolled in the public schools (1:4), spends
$18,590,554 on transporting regular education children (1:25)
out of an adequacy budget of $526,053,418 (1:22) or 3.5%.
An even larger deduction out of the budget comes from
providing a Free and Appropriate Education to children with
extraordinary needs in the base population of 31,000 children.
Many school districts are not equipped with the facilities
necessary to handle their most severely handicapped resident
children. The cost often runs into the millions. For example,
Patterson, with 27,310 children, sends 254 students to schools
for children with special needs (1:64). Lakewood, with over
31,000 children, sends 260 students to schools for children
![Page 19: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

with special needs. The drain on the budget is $29,448,564
out of an adequacy budget of $119,334,752 and an operating
budget of $120,830,423. The cost of transportation and
tuition together is $53,970,765. This is 44.7% of the
Lakewood operating budget.
Out of the nonpublic population of 25,000 children, 3,547
who have been found eligible to receive special education
services remain in nonpublic schools (AP:68). The number of
special education students enrolled in the public schools is
1,128 (1:5). Together, close to 4,700 children in Lakewood
have special needs. The User Friendly Budgets show and
Respondents constructively admit that the Lakewood cost of
Speech, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Related
Services; Other Support Services, and the Child Study Team, is
$9,289,304 (1:73). This cost together with the cost of tuition
and the cost of transporting regular education and special
education students is $63,260,069 consuming 52.4% of
the operating budget of $120,830,423.
Needless to mention, the limited resources available in a
district serving a population of over 31,000 children with an
adequacy budget designed for 6,020 children has led to
increased litigation. Respondents’ own data and their
constructive admission shows that Lakewood spends $131 per
![Page 20: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
pupil for legal services, the most of any large district.
(1:46).
The SFRA does not contemplate expenses of such magnitude
and their effect on T & E in Lakewood because it fails to
count all the children in its adequacy formula. Certainly many
districts suffer insufficient state aid for transportation and
extraordinary special education expenses but the deficiency in
those districts is offset by a proportional and commensurate
regular public school student count in the T & E budget.
Lakewood, by contrast, serves a base of 31,000 resident
children while its SFRA student count is 6,020.
The drain on a budget designed for 6,020 students is
certain to increase leading to more deficits as the population
increases. Lakewood births have risen over the last twenty
years with 3,966 births in 2011 compared to 2,663 births in
Paterson, 4,440 in Jersey City and 4,353 in Newark. (Page 15,
Appendix 3). The number of children attending nonpublic
schools has increased 20% in just the last two years. The
amount of funding remaining for the public schools will
significantly decrease unless Respondents change their
methodology of calculating adequacy in Lakewood.
This, of course, is common knowledge. In a CD recording
submitted by Participant Paul L. Tractenberg on March 25,
![Page 21: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

2015, Respondents’ State Monitor, “Mr. Azzara[,] makes
explicit that the Lakewood School District has a revenue
problem not a spending problem.” (Letter Brief of participant
in Opposition to the Motion to Dismiss, page 5). That is not
the only time that Respondents proverbially threw up their
hands in despair. On January 12, 2016, another state monitor,
David Shafter, announced that as of June 30, 2016, the
Lakewood School District will have a $12,389,288 deficit
(Exhibit C, page 50).
This most recent deficit comes after Respondents’ state
monitors controlled the Lakewood district’s finances for two
years. The document included as Exhibit C was not available to
Petitioners when they submitted their Requests for Admissions
in December 2015. Reduction of this deficit will likely
require elimination of more public school courses, staff and
programs before the end of the budgetary year.
C. THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE THE EXPENSE OF SERVING THE UNIQUE DEMOGRAPHY OF LAKEWOOD IN THE CALCULATION OF ADEQUACY HAS CAUSED SIGNIFICANT BUDGETARY DEFICITS, LOW TEACHER SALARIES, THE ELIMINATION OF COURSES AND PROGRAMS, AND UNACCEPTABLY LOW TEST SCORES AND LOW ENROLLMENT IN POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS.
The drain on the budget has made it impossible for the
district to provide its public school students with T & E.
Petitioners allege that the district does not provide its
special education students with adequate special education and
![Page 22: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Limited English Proficiency support (Amended Petition,
paragraphs 18-22, hereafter AP:18-22), intervention and
remediation specialists (AP:23), its teachers with in-house
curriculum supervisors (AP:26), closed down its industrial
arts program (AP:28), decimated its rich curriculum (AP: 29)
and has oversized classes (AP:31).
Respondents’ own data and their constructive admission show
that the 2015-16 Budgetary Comparative Per Pupil Cost in
Lakewood is $12,348, the average of Abbott districts is
$17,793, and the average of all New Jersey districts is
$15,348. (1:34). Respondents’ own data and their constructive
admission show that the 2015-16 Total Classroom Instruction
Cost Per Pupil in Lakewood is $6,600, the average of Abbott
districts is $10,017, and the average of all New Jersey
districts is $8,933 (1:35). Respondents’ own data and their
constructive admission show that Lakewood has the lowest
average and lowest median teacher salary of 103 large K-12
districts with 3,500 or more students. (1:37,38,40,41).
Respondents’ own data and their constructive admission show
that the average teacher experience in Lakewood is 8.3 years
compared with the 11.8 median of all New Jersey districts.
Respondents’ own data and their constructive admission show
that the ratio of students to teachers in Lakewood is 13.1
![Page 23: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
whereas the average ratio of students to teachers in Abbott
districts is 11.3. (1:42). Respondents’ own data and their
constructive admission show that Lakewood spends $128 for
classroom supplies per student, the 3 lowest ranking large
district, whereas the average Abbott district spends $384 and
the statewide average is $321(1:44).
This has led to such dismal underachievement and failure to
prepare students for post-secondary education that
constitutional standard of providing T & E cannot possible
have been met. Respondents’ own data and their constructive
admission show that the High School Proficiency Assessment
Language Arts scores for Lakewood from 2008-2014 were lower
than the average and median scores of the Abbott districts and
significantly lower than the state average. (Appendix 4, Page
26; hereafter Apx.4,26). Respondents’ own data and their
constructive admission show that the High School Proficiency
Assessment Mathematics scores for Lakewood were about half the
points of the state average and more than ten points lower
than the average and median Abbott districts every year since
2009 (Apx.4,27). Respondents’ own data and their constructive
admission show that the Grade 8 GEPA and NJ ASK Language Arts
scores for Lakewood was below the average and median score for
the Abbott districts every year since 2004. (Apx.5,32).
![Page 24: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Respondents’ own data and their constructive admission show
that the Grade 8 GEPA and NJ ASK Mathematics scores for
Lakewood students were below the average and median scores for
the Abbott districts every year since 2006 (Apx.5,33).
Respondents’ own data and their constructive admission show
the Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate was at or below the
average (mean) and the median of the Abbott districts for the
last four years (Apx.6,39). Respondents’ own data and their
constructive admission show the average composite SAT score
for Lakewood is 1101 whereas the Abbott average is 1191 and
the state average is 1514. (Apx.2,22 Column C). Respondents’
own data and their constructive admission show only 45.6%
Lakewood students are in post-secondary institutions 16 months
after graduation whereas the Abbott average is 62.7%.
(Apx.2,22 Column I).
The evidence before this Court of lack of funding in
Lakewood and the resulting underachievement all point to the
conclusion that Respondents have failed to provide the
constitutional required system of thorough and efficient
public schools in Lakewood.
“We therefore adhere to the conventional wisdom that money is one of the many factors that counts. Staff ratios, breadth of course offerings, teacher experience and qualifications, and availability of equipment make a real difference in educational opportunity. We do not mean that money guarantees a

25
thorough and efficient education, nor that, given the approach recommended by the Commissioner, a lower spending district with an effective schools program will not do better than a higher spending district without it. All we mean is that if ‘effective schools’ is a desirable approach, it should be superimposed on a structure that starts out equal.” Abbott by Abbott v. Burke (Abbott II), 119 N.J. 287, 381 (N.J., 1990)
POINT II. RESPONDENTS FAIL TO PROVIDE THE CHILDREN OF LAKEWOOD WITH A THOROUGH AND EFFICIENT EDUCATION BECAUSE LAKEWOOD IS A LOW-INCOME URBAN DISTRICT, STUDENTS IN LOW-INCOME URBAN DISRICTS REQUIRE MORE FUNDING THAN STUDENTS IN HIGHER INCOME OR SUBURBAN DISTRICTS, AND LAKEWOOD IS FUNDED SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN LOW-INCOME URBAN DISTRICTS OR SUBURBAN DISTRICTS RESULTING IN UNACCEPTABLY LOW STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
A. LAKEWOOD IS A LOW-INCOME URBAN DISTRICT.
Lakewood is a low-income urban district and is recognized
by Respondents as a peer of the Abbott districts for the
purpose of comparison in Respondents’ school report cards. One
hundred forty seven schools from almost every Abbott district
are listed as peers of Lakewood schools. Only four non-Abbott
DFG A or B schools are listed as peers of any Lakewood school.
(Apx.7, 41-45).
The 2010 Census counted 92,843 in Lakewood. The population
of Lakewood, estimated now at 108,900, is more than twice the
median population of the Abbott districts (AP:35). Lakewood’s
population is expected to reach 225,000 by 2030 (AP ft.1).
The population density of Lakewood Census Designated Place
(CDP), the area in which almost all public and nonpublic
![Page 26: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
students live, according to the 2010 Census is 7,602, about
seven times the state average but slightly less than the
Abbott median. (1:95).
The percent of the population 17 and under in Lakewood CDP
is 48.4% compared to the Abbott average of 24.6% (1:92). The
Lakewood labor force of 28,809 (1:88) is only 30.3% of the
2010 population whereas the labor force of the average urban
district is 38.1% and of New Jersey is 51.3%. This means that
only 30 working people provide for the shelter and sustenance
of every 100 people in Lakewood.
Lakewood is ranked 555 out of 564 New Jersey municipalities
in per capita income (1:3). Per capita income in Lakewood is
$16,430. The average Abbott district’s per capita income is
$22,585. Per capita income in the state as whole is $39,940.
This means that Lakewood per capita income is just 41.1% of
the state average. In the Abbott administrative decision,
Judge Lefelt found that the “plaintiffs’ districts have per
capita income that ranges from 49% to 81% of the State average
per capita income, and urban aid cities have, on average, 72%
of the State average.” Abbott v. Burke, EDU5581-85 (initial
decision), August 24, 1988
http//:njlegallib.rutgers.edu/legallib/njar/v13/p0001.pdf
(hereafter Lefelt) at 265. The per capita income of Lakewood
![Page 27: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
CDP is $11,895, or 29.8% of the State average. The median
family income in Lakewood CDP is $38,493 compared to $50,995
in the Abbott districts and $114,265 statewide. The average
family size in Lakewood CDP is 5.23. The average Abbott
district family size is 3.33 (1:94). Hence, $38,493 supports
the average family of 5.23 members. 93.6% of Lakewood public
school students are classified as low-income whereas the
average of the Abbott districts is 76.0% (1:8). 25.9% of
Lakewood public school students are classified as Limited
English Proficiency whereas the average of the Abbott
districts is 10.0% (1:10). 83.4% of 2015 Lakewood public
school students are Hispanic and 10% are African-American
(Request for Admissions, paragraph 1). Many minority children
come to school with disadvantages far beyond their white
counterparts. “Indeed, the term ‘urban schools’ has become a
euphemism for minority schools. . . . [T]he urban public
school population often contains a higher minority percentage
than is present in the surrounding municipality.” Lefelt at
26-27.
The evidence shows that Lakewood is in fact a low-income
urban district.
B. STUDENTS IN LOW-INCOME URBAN DISTRICTS REQUIRE MORE FUNDING THAN HIGHER INCOME OR SUBURBAN DISTRICTS.
![Page 28: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Lakewood students face all the challenges, if not more,
than students in low-income urban districts. The Abbott II
Court made clear that student coming from low-income urban
districts require more resources to even the playing field.
“[W]e conclude that a significant number of poorer urban districts do not provide a thorough and efficient education for their students; that the measurement of the constitutional requirement must account for the needs of the students; that in most poorer urban districts, the education needed to equip the students for their roles as citizens and workers exceeds that needed by students in more affluent districts; that the education provided depends to a significant extent on the money spent for it, and on what that money can buy--in quality and quantity--and the ability to innovate.” Abbott by Abbott v. Burke, 119 N.J. 287, 319 (N.J., 1990)
Student in lower income districts require more funding for
increased resources than students in the average New Jersey
district.
“If the educational fare of the seriously disadvantaged student is the same as the ‘regular education’ given to the advantaged student, those serious disadvantages will not be addressed, and students in the poorer urban districts will simply not be able to compete.” Id. at 374
The SFRA extends the reasoning of the Abbott Court to all
New Jersey districts by providing increased funding in each
district for every at-risk or low-income student and for every
LEP student in its calculation of adequacy.1
1 At-risk is defined by N.J.S.A. 18A:7F-45 as “those resident pupils from households with a household income at or below the most recent
![Page 29: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
“For each at-risk pupil, a base at-risk weight of .47 is applied. Also, as described by the Special Master, the [State Department of Education (DOE)] employed a sliding scale to recognize the additional challenges faced by districts with high concentrations of at-risk students. The sliding scale applies a base at-risk weight of .47 to the base student cost for at-risk pupils in districts with an at-risk student population between zero and 20%. The weight then increases incrementally. The scale levels off at 60%—applying a weight of .57 to at-risk pupils in districts with an at-risk population over 60%. Although the at-risk weight levels off, the districts will still receive the additional funding for each at-risk student; therefore, the formula does provide more funding to districts with higher concentrations of at-risk students. The formula applies weights also to LEP students (although the PJP panel suggested .47, SFRA applies a weight of .50) and yet another weight for students who are both at-risk and LEP to support non-duplicative resources required by such students (although calculated during the PJP process to be 22.6% of the LEP weight, SFRA uses 25%).” 199 N.J. at 154.
The weights for at-risk and LEP funding of children counted in
the adequacy budget is washed out by the costs of serving the
children that Respondents do not count.
C. LAKEWOOD IS FUNDED SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER THAN EVERY LOW-INCOME URBAN DISTRICT.
The additional SFRA funding to remedy the disadvantages of
low-income and Limited English Proficiency in each district is
federal poverty guidelines available on October 15 of the prebudget year multiplied by 1.85.” At-risk students are also known as those eligible for free or reduced lunch. “The income guidelines for determining eligibility for reduced price lunches for any school year shall be 185 percent of the applicable family size income levels. . . .” 42 U.S.C. §1758(b)(1)(B). The terms “at-risk,” “low-income” and “free and reduced lunch” designate the same pupils.
![Page 30: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
swallowed up in the case of Lakewood because of the expense of
serving a population in which 80% of resident children attend
nonpublic schools. This drain on the budget has drastically
harmed public school students in Lakewood. As mentioned, 93.6%
of Lakewood students are classified as at-risk or low-income,
more than the 76.0% average of the Abbott districts and the
28.5% average of all New Jersey districts (1:8). 25.9% of
Lakewood students are Limited English Proficiency, more than
the 10.0% average of the Abbott districts and the 2.0% average
of all New Jersey districts (1:10).
The evidence also shows that the 2015-16 Budgetary
Comparative Per Pupil Cost in Lakewood is $12,348, whereas the
average of all New Jersey districts is $15,348 and the Abbott
average is $17,793 (1:34). The 2015-16 Total Classroom
Instruction Cost Per Pupil in Lakewood is $6,600. The average
of the Abbott districts is $10,017 (1:35). Districts
surrounding Lakewood in all four directions, each with
substantially less than 40% of students at-risk (1:8), spend
at least 16% more per pupil: Brick $8,438, Howell $9,592,
Jackson $7,989, and Toms River Regional $7,631. Lakewood is
ranked as the lowest spending district of 103 New Jersey
districts with 3500 students or more (1:37).
![Page 31: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
This level of funding is unacceptable. Without any other
criteria to show compliance with the constitutional mandate,
the Supreme Court in Robinson noted, “The trial court found
the constitutional demand had not been met and did so on the
basis of discrepancies in dollar input per pupil. We agree.”
Robinson v. Cahill, 62 N.J. 473, 515 (N.J., 1973).
This Court need not rely solely on the evidence of low
funding. Respondents own criteria: standardized test scores,
enrollment in post-secondary education, graduation rates,
teacher salary and experience, classroom supplies, SAT scores,
all evidence compiled by Respondents, show that the
deprivation is on a constitutional scale.
POINT III. THE TAX BASE OF LAKEWOOD DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO FILL THE DEFICIENCY IN ITS ADEQUACY BUDGET.
The adequacy budget is paid by both the state and by local
taxpayers. The state share, known as equalization aid, is the
difference between the adequacy budget and the local share
(N.J.S.A 18A:7F-52). The statute provides that half of the
local share is determined by multiplying the aggregate income
of the residents of a district by the Statewide income rate
(.0092690802 in 2008) and the other half of the local share is
determined by multiplying equalized property value by the
Statewide property value rate (.04546684 in 2008). Property

wealth and income are thereby reflected in equalization aid
because they determine the size of local share, which is
deducted from the adequacy budget to determine the state
share.
At the time this petition was filed, the local share for
Lakewood was $71,198,357 (AP:5). The Lakewood tax levy was
$84,693,837, 18.8% more than the local share. Since then,
Respondents raised the Statewide income rate and equalized
property value rate so dramatically that the local share of
many districts in the State increased beyond their statutory
authority to increase taxes under the tax caps of N.J.S.A.
18A:7F-38. The local share of Lakewood increased to
$96,735,200. In April 2015 the state monitor ordered the tax
levy to be increased for the current budget year to
$90,350,168, the maximum allowable under the law. The district
had already exhausted its banked cap reserve before this
petition was filed (AP:6). This $5.7 million tax increase was
not sufficient to prevent the $12 million deficit as of the
end of the budgetary year.
The $5.7 million tax increase hit Lakewood families hard.
The Lakewood tax base, the ninth lowest in per capita income
in the State, spends $172,155,093 (1:98), 11.34% of its
aggregate income of $1,518,509,794 (1:99), on municipal,
![Page 33: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

school and county taxes. Statewide, taxpayers spend 8.53% of
their income on municipal, school and county taxes. Taxpayers
in the Abbott district, noted for their overburden of excess
municipal expenses, spend only 9.30%.
The traditional depiction of municipal overburden made much
ado about the higher school, municipal and county taxes in the
low-income urban areas. These taxes already consume a larger
percent of income in Lakewood than in the Abbott districts,
yet they only account for about half of the burden of families
making up the Lakewood tax base. The financial strain of
sending over 25,000 children to nonpublic schools, of course,
falls solely on Lakewood families. Together with municipal,
school and county taxes, approximately one-quarter of all
income in the tax base is consumed. Considering that there is
only one worker for every four residents, that 41.8% of the
entire population in the tax base is 17 and under, and that
the median family income is among the lowest in the state, the
municipal overburden on Lakewood taxpayers is beyond the pale.
Local taxpayers do not have, and have not had, the capacity to
prevent the expenses of transportation and special education
services from draining programs, staff and curriculum out of
the public schools over the last decade.
![Page 34: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
To add insult to injury, Respondents removed Lakewood from
its District Factor Group (DFG) ratings because a majority of
children attend nonpublic schools. 70% of nonpublic school
students in Lakewood receive federal free and reduced lunch
and would be funded as at-risk had they been public school
students (Ex.B,47). In fact, had all 25,000 nonpublic children
attended the public schools, the local share would remain the
same $96 million but the SFRA adequacy budget would increase
to over $550 million (AP:41). Respondents’ share would be over
$450 million of the adequacy budget. Lakewood would be a DFG
A, the lowest income rating for state districts. Since the
vast majority of children in reality attend nonpublic schools,
70% of whom are low-income, a district that Respondents would
have otherwise considered to be one of the lowest income in
the state had these children attended public schools, is
arbitrarily determined not worthy of low-income status.
CONCLUSION
It has been almost two years since the Petitioners brought
their petition. Since then, Respondents have done everything
possible to prevent the merits of this case from being heard.
They motioned for dismissal questioning the standing of
![Page 35: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Petitioners. They opposed the participation of an amicus
curiae with decades of experience navigating the complexity of
school funding litigation. Most recently, they have barraged
Petitioners with interrogatories targeting their standing,
harassing them by asking for names of the parents’ supervisors
at work, for seven years of Petitioners’ transcripts, course
schedules, IEPs and other personal information. We still do
not know after almost two years if Respondents have any
defense to the allegations in the Petition.
If Respondents’ strategy is to somehow disqualify the
individual students named in the petition, to show that they
do not suffer any personal harm, or perhaps to delay the
litigating the merits until Petitioners graduate, then
Petitioners point out that New Jersey does not have a case and
controversy clause in its constitution. In State v. Allen, 73
N.J. 132 (N.J., 1977), the appeal of a restrictive order on
news reporters was allowed to proceed even though the same
order had been lifted by the Chief Justice. In other words,
the individual reporters named in the suit no longer suffered
harm. “Preliminarily, we reject any notion that the appeals
before us should be treated as moot and dismissed. The issues
are of great public importance and are bound to recur time and
again unless and until this Court by its decision determines
![Page 36: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
what a trial court may or may not do regarding news media
coverage of a public trial.” Id. at 138.
In the case at hand, even if the students named in the
Petition had seven years of low grades and poorly designed
course schedules, while the majority of the students in the
district maintained high achievement and were offered a rich
curriculum from which to choose courses, then the claims of
Petitioners would have no merit despite their own individual
harm and lack of achievement. On the other hand, if
Petitioners had high grades and exemplary course schedules
while the rest of the students collectively did poorly and had
a limited curriculum from which to choose, then the claims
made in the petition would have merit. In such case, if
necessary, Counsel would simply change petitioners. But that
is not necessary under the law of this state, particularly
where the “issues are of great public importance and are bound
to recur time and again. . . .”
Petitioners came to this Court primarily to create a record
of constitutional deprivation for the Superior Court so that
ultimately the legislature will correct the adequacy formula
as applied to Lakewood. It should be noted, that under the
SFRA, Respondents’ share of Lakewood’s current adequacy budget
of $119,334,752, after deducting the local share of
![Page 37: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
$96,735,200, is $22,599,552. However, due to statewide
budgetary freezes, Lakewood has received only $15 million for
the last three several years (Exhibit C, page 52). This is
because Respondents have not fully funded the SFRA since 2010.
Although the $7.6 million shortfall would not come close to
filling the $52 million deficiency and would not even begin to
restore the public schools to T & E, just as the $5.6 million
tax increase did not prevent the current year’s $12 million
deficit, it might prevent more loss. This Court and the
Commissioner have the authority to authorize full funding as
an interim measure until the legislature fixes the formula.
The Supreme Court ordered Respondents to fully fund the Abbott
districts because they had "status akin to that given to wards
of the State." Abbott v. Burke (Abbott XXI), 206 N.J. 332,340
(2011). Lakewood faces this $12 million deficit going into
next year’s budget and its students face the same challenges
of the urban Abbott districts. There is no reason why a court
cannot order full funding under the current law as an interim
remedy, at the very least, to prevent further cuts when the
budget is prepared in April 2016.
The State has controlled the finances of Lakewood for two
years. The finances have only grown worse. The problem is not
mismanagement. The discrepancy between how Respondents
![Page 38: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
calculate adequacy under the present system and the reality in
Lakewood has increased every year. “Were we confident that a
thorough and efficient education were likely to be achieved in
the near future under the present system, we would not dream
of intervening.” 119 N.J. at 321. The constitutional
deprivation in Lakewood will only get worse unless a court
intervenes.
The facts in this case are a matter of public record and
not subject to controversy. Despite the historic complexity of
school funding litigation, the issues to be decided in this
case are relatively simple. The method of determining the
necessary funding for education adequacy in Lakewood is so
obviously miscalculated that a decision can be rendered on the
papers. If, on the other hand, should this Court find, in
viewing the facts most favorable toward the unmoving party,
genuine issues of material facts do exist, a decision can be
made determining the issues to be decided facilitating the
resolution of this matter. This is entirely appropriate.
According to N.J.A.C. § 1:1-12.5 (d)
“If, on motion under this section, a decision is not rendered upon all the substantive issues in the contested case and a hearing is necessary, the judge at the time of ruling on the motion, by examining the papers on file in the case as well as the motion papers, and by interrogating counsel, if necessary, shall, if practicable, ascertain what material facts exist without substantial controversy and shall
![Page 39: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
thereupon enter an order specifying those facts and directing such further proceedings in the contested case as are appropriate. At the hearing in the contested case, the facts so specified shall be deemed established.”
WHEREFORE Petitioners respectfully move for summary decision
determining:
1. Lakewood is a low-income urban district.
2. The educational needs of Lakewood public school students
are greater than the educational needs of students in higher
income non-urban districts.
3. The funding necessary to provide for the educational
needs of Lakewood public school students exceeds the funding
necessary to provide for the educational needs of students in
higher income non-urban districts.
4. The School Finance Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA) calculates
the funding necessary to meet the needs of the 6,020 public
school students in Lakewood but does not account for the costs
of transportation and special education serving a population
of 31,000 school age children in Lakewood.
5. The failure to include the cost of serving 31,000 school
age children, currently $52 million a year, in an adequacy
budget designed for 6,020 students has led to recurring
budgetary deficits, termination of academic and vocational
courses, staff and programs, and a general inability to
![Page 40: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
adequately address the educational needs of public school
students in Lakewood.
6. The money actually spent on the educational needs of
students in Lakewood pubic schools is less than the amount of
money spent on the educational needs of students in non-urban
districts.
7. The academic achievement of students in Lakewood is lower
than the achievement of students in non-urban districts and as
low or lower than students in low-income urban districts.
8. Lakewood students are less prepared for college, for the
job market, for participation in society and in the life of
their community than students in non-urban districts and as
low or lower than students in low-income urban districts.
9. The State of New Jersey is not providing students in
Lakewood with a constitutionally adequate thorough and
efficient public education because its method of calculating
adequate funding fails to account for $52 million a year in
expenditures serving a K-12 population six times the size of
the public school enrollment.
10. The Lakewood tax base does not have the capacity to fill
the deficiency in the amount necessary for adequate funding.
![Page 41: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
11. The adequacy budget for Lakewood should be calculated to
include the cost of providing mandated transportation and
special education services.
12. In the alternative, Respondents should fully appropriate
the adequacy budget and the local share should fully
appropriate the cost of transportation and tuition for special
education.
13. The administrative forum is primarily charged with
presenting a record and making recommendations as to whether
the State of New Jersey is providing a constitutionally
adequate education for the 6,020 children attending Lakewood
public schools. The academic achievement, course schedules,
Individual Education Plans for special education students,
transcripts, employment information of parents, and other
personal information of the individual Petitioners have no
bearing on the resolution of the issues.
FURTHERMORE Petitioners respectfully request that the Court
transmit its findings of fact to the Commissioner of Education
with the following recommendations:
1. To recommend that the legislature provide for an
adjustment to the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 that will
account for all of the children in Lakewood in the calculation
![Page 42: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
of the adequacy budget because it is impossible to provide a
thorough and efficient education under a formula designed for
6,020 children when in reality the district serves a resident
population of 31,000 children.
2. To recommend to the legislature in the alternative to
change the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 so that the local
share of certain school districts defined to specify Lakewood
is not deducted from the adequacy budget in determining
equalization aid but rather local taxation is raised to
appropriate the cost of transportation and tuition for special
education.
3. To recommend to the governor the creation of new
categorical aid in his budget and/or to implement any and all
remedies within his authority to fill the deficiencies in the
adequacy budget of Lakewood.
4. To issue a declaratory ruling that the provision of
$15,263,034 in equalization aid is inadequate given that the
cost of mandated services to a school age population five time
the number of students counted in determining SFRA adequacy is
depleting the operating budget in Lakewood and to implement
any and all interim remedies for the state to absorb more of
the cost and to provide full equalization aid to Lakewood
![Page 43: LEONOR ALCANTARA, individually andlakewoodlaworg.ipage.com/documents/Motion for Summary Decisio… · On March 11, 2015 the Court granted Professor Tractenberg leave to participate.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0517cf7e708231d4113a40/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
under the SFRA as currently written for the 2016-17 school
year.
5. To issue a declaratory ruling that the provision of
$3,600,000 in extraordinary aid is inadequate given that
extraordinary special education costs are depleting the
operating budget in Lakewood and to implement any and all
interim remedies for the state to absorb more of the cost and
to provide full extraordinary aid to Lakewood under the SFRA
as currently written for the 2016-17 school year.
6. To issue a declaratory ruling that the provision of
$3,934,658 in transportation aid is inadequate given that
transportation costs are depleting the operating budget in
Lakewood and to implement any and all interim remedies for the
state to absorb more of the cost and provide full
transportation aid to Lakewood under the SFRA as currently
written for the 2016-17 school year.
7. To issue a declaratory ruling that the state aid growth
limitation is inapplicable to any and all administrative
remedies.
8. To recommend legislation that the state aid growth
limitation (NJSA 18A:7F-47) is inapplicable to any and all
legislative remedies.
9. To classify Lakewood as a DFG A urban district.
