School board president Ed Potosnak blames growing payments to charter schools for the budget problems that forced the district to charge for its pre-K program, and the resultant decline in the program’s enrollment enrollment.
The school district’s pre-K program did not meet enrollment estimates this year, a fact the school board president blames on the township’s two charter schools.
Board of Education president Ed Potosnak said that the increasing amount of money that the district has to send to the township’s charter schools forced the board to start charging for pre-K this year. The change to charging tuition, he said, led to an enrollment of about 50 fewer students than anticipated.
