LAKEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL RECEIVES LOWE’S TOOLBOX FOR EDUCATION GRANT - The Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation has awarded a $3,800 Lowe’s Toolbox for Education® grant to Lakewood Middle School in Lakewood for the PBSIS STEAM Greenhouse Restoration Project. Lakewood Middle School is one of 545 schools across the United States to be awarded a Lowe’s Toolbox for Education grant this spring for improvement projects.
Lakewood Middle School comes together in times of need to support a family recently affected by a fire, which destroyed their home. In addition to clothing, personal care items, furniture, and household items, the donations of both LMS staff and students totaled over $1,550 which will be given to the family. Because of their generous support, three truckloads worth of clothing, linens, toiletries, and other items were donated to the family as well as multiple gift cards to Shop Rite and Walmart. With the support of PBSIS initiatives, the family was given new uniforms donated from Lakewood Middle School at last night’s board meeting.

Lakewood Public and Nonpublic students head to Trenton to attend Lakewood School Funding Case (click to view)
Resolution Regarding LEA/LAA Increase
Whereas, the Lakewood Board of Education recognizes the chronic underfunding of the public school education; and
Whereas, the Lakewood Board of Education sees the consequences of chronic underfunding – low salaries and poor staff morale.
Whereas, the Lakewood Board of Education has watched over 40 teachers resign since April, and approximately 365 staff members resign since 2014. On behalf of our students and families, we cannot allow this crisis to continue. We support our classroom teachers, aides, secretaries and all of our staff and demand the necessary funding for a meaningful teacher pay raise.
Be it resolved, that the Lakewood Board of Education is in full support of our teachers, students and staff and are hereby, approving the following for all members of the LEA and LAA provided all contract language requested by the Administration and all other issues are resolved; including but not limited to, the understanding that there will be no change in the current formula for Chapter 78:
2018-2019 – 3.2% raise (County Average, subject to verification)
2019-2020 – 3.2% raise (County Average, subject to verification)
2020-2021 – 3.2% raise (County Average, subject to verification)
Approximate cost of raise for the 2018-2019 school year is $1,525,675 based on budgeted amounts for salaries.
