Split School Board Adopts Policy Change Banning Charter School Students From District Athletics

September 23, 2016 Board of Education Taxes

9-22-16-meeting-5 — Charter school students and their parents were among a packed house Sept. 22 at the Board of Education meeting.

Despite some boisterous objections from parents and students, the Board of Education Sept. 22 adopted a policy modification banning charter school students from participating in district athletic programs.

The modification passed 6-2, with board members Richard Seamon and Pat Stanley casting the only “no” votes. The ban affects students attending the township’s two current charter schools, the Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School and Central Jersey College Prep Charter School.
