A new school is very good news. I remember signing a petition for this a year or two ago

50% of charter schools close by the 15 year mark - they are the perfect scam for a city like JC that relies on having a disinterested and transient population to allow public officials to do whatever they want.

I would say the people who move here tend to be generally well informed, and the lack of information is more due to the media doing a horrible job.

I’m not a school expert but I know that there’s a lack of school options and physical school buildings.

The school system is not doing so hot. Probably time to try something new.

You’re not a school expert? Shocking.

Charter schools are terrible and aren’t obligated to accommodate special needs students and take away funding from public schools. You don’t have to be an expert to see how not being able to accommodate special ed students is a bad thing.

Lol that was good but as always you have little of value to add.

Nice save - no one's going to notice you've made zero points in any of your replies now!

Zero value add again

Which begs the question of why charters close so frequently. In places like Hoboken and Jersey City, it’s not for lack of demand. Start with the extreme hostility of the existing public school system. The pressure on elected leaders to get rid of charters is intense.
