Gov. Chris Christie visits the Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School in May 2016. Two groups have asked the state Department of Education to close TEECS and Central Jersey College Prep Charter School for alleged civil rights violations in their enrollments.
Two groups – including one based in the township – have asked the state Department of Education to close the township’s charter schools for alleged “segregative” policies.
The groups, Franklin Community Advocates Revitalizing our Education System (Franklin C.A.R.E.S.) and the Latino Coalition of New Jersey, have also filed a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education, alleging that the charter schools – Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School and Central Jersey College Prep Charter School – do not reflect in their enrollment the township’s percentage of learning disabled and English language learner students.
