Tempers Flare At Panel Discussion Promoting Opposition To Charter School Growth

February 23, 2017 School Board

Franklin C.A.R.E.S., a group opposed to charter school expansion in the township, hosted a panel discussion Feb. 22 in the Franklin High School cafeteria.

The school district’s state-mandated support of charter schools could hit $20 million over the next three years, attendees at a Feb. 22 anti-charter school growth forum were told.

The money would be needed to support the expansion of the Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School, the Central Jersey College Prep Charter School and the proposed Ailanthus Charter School, schools Superintendent John Ravally said.
