“The former resort town near the Jersey Shore is home to one of the nation’s largest communities of strict Orthodox Jews, and its recent galloping growth has left Lakewood’s schools in an odd situation. In a town where Orthodox Jews represent about half the population, nearly three-quarters of the town’s children attend private Jewish day schools. But the public school district, by law, must finance special education for everyone. And state education officials have found that among preschool children in special education programs in Lakewood, there is a startling divide.
A state review focused on the private storefront school, the School for Children With Hidden Intelligence, or SCHI (pronounced “shy”), a state-approved school that opened in 1994 to provide services for children with disabilities ranging from autism to developmental delays. Nearly all the white preschoolers receiving special education services in Lakewood are enrolled in full-day programs at SCHI or at another private school, while most of the black and Hispanic children with special needs are in half-day programs in the public schools, at much lower cost.”
