Bais Kaila High School has filed plans for a school building of about 12,760 square feet on roughly 4.4 acres. The site is at Vine Avenue and Spruce Street in Lakewood Township, Ocean County. The county's most recent filing is dated April 15, 2026.
The records don't say what currently stands on the land or how many students the school would serve. They also don't say when it might open. Newlines Engineering is listed on the filing alongside the school.
No news coverage, hearing decision or approval specific to this proposal was found online. Older township agendas mention other Bais Kaila and Vine Avenue school applications. The records don't show that any of them is this project, so they are not relied on here.
What it could mean nearby
- A school can add drop-off and pickup traffic on Vine Avenue and Spruce Street at certain times of day. The records give no traffic figures.
- The 4.4-acre site is larger than the building. How much of it stays open or landscaped depends on a site plan that was not reviewed here.
- The records don't mention any new homes, jobs or utility changes.
Where it stands
