The township’s two charter schools have denied their enrollment practices are discriminatory. Pictured are Gov. Chris Christie with Oguz Yildiz, TEECS’ Lead Person, during a 2016 visit to the school.
The township’s two charter schools on Feb. 14 denied charges that their enrollment policies are discriminatory, and charged their critics with trying to harass charter schools out of business.
The schools – Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School and Central Jersey College Prep Charter School – were the subjects of federal civil rights complaints filed Feb. 10 by a township parents’ organization and a civil rights group. The two charged that the schools have kept off their rolls learning disabled and English language learner students, in the case of CJCP, and, in the case of TEECS, African American and Hispanic students and students who live in poverty.
