📰 News we're reading

• Jackson HOA faces discrimination complaints over pool rules (palivingnews.com) — Jackson condo owners at The Club at Jackson 21 are challenging their HOA over gender‑segregated pool hours they say unfairly limit access to amenities they pay for. Several residents have filed discrimination complaints with the state, while the HOA argues the rules accommodate Orthodox Jewish modesty practices and differ from a similar Lakewood policy previously struck down in federal court.
   

• Lakewood STA's New Fees Raise Questions and Confusion Over Publicly Funded Private School Busing (shorenewsnetwork.com) — Jackson families are indirectly tied into a growing controversy over how the Lakewood Student Transportation Authority handles millions in public and parent money for private-school busing in Lakewood, Toms River, and Jackson. While Jackson follows the state’s $1,177 aid‑in‑lieu rules for mandated nonpublic transportation, Lakewood parents now face a $945 fee for non‑mandated busing, with little transparency into how LSTA sets that price.
