How much did Inzelbuch get paid?

The recent Press investigation, published in August, revealed that Inzelbuch had been paid more than $3 million during his current four-year stint with the Lakewood school district, with the majority of the income coming in the past two years. The Lakewood district has relied on tens of millions of dollars in loans from state funds to keep itself solvent.

Who is Paul Tractenberg?

Paul Tractenberg, a former Rutgers law professor and an expert on public education who has previously called Inzelbuch’s compensation into question, said recently, “The notion that a district that is struggling to find dollars to educate its students is laying out (hundreds of thousands of dollars) to its attorney is obscene and immoral as far as I am concerned.”

Did Inzelbuch respond to the press inquiries?

Inzelbuch didn’t respond either — to the Press inquiries regarding his compensation, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars more than what some much larger school districts pay their lawyer, or to Murphy’s characterization.
