JACKSON — Hundreds of people are protesting a plan to build
an Orthodox Jewish high school for 400 female students in Jackso.
The township's zoning board on Wednesday postponed ruling on
a variance because the board says a traffic-impact study is needed.
The Asbury Park Press reports the attorney who represents
the rabbi who wants to build the school urged the board not to discriminate
between public and private schools. The rabbi's engineer noted that two public
schools were built in similar neighborhoods.
But many residents expressed fears that such a school could
drive up school transportation costs similar to neighboring Lakewood, where the
school board is facing a $4 million shortfall.
