School Board Opposes Proposed Charter School, Asks State To Deny Application

April 29, 2016 School Board

4-28-16 Meeting - 14 — Board of Education president Ed Potosnak said April 28 that another charter school is not necessary in the township.

The Board of Education April 28 went on record as opposing a charter school proposed for Cortelyous Lane.

Alarmed by the steady increase in the amount of taxes needing to be diverted to the handful of charter schools attended by Franklin students – in 2016-17, that figure is estimated to be $9 million – the board approved a resolution stating that it believes the establishment of a third charter school in the township is not necessary.
