Hola Wins Lawsuit- Renewal and Expansion Upheld

Details to follow soon, but a decision has been reached on the Hoboken Board of Education's lawsuit against the Hola Dual Language School… 

"Compared to the Hoboken District Schools, the demographic composition of HoLa's student population appears to better reflect Hoboken's population….HoLa's student population closely aligns to Hoboken's demographic characteristics based on "Age 17 and Under" population from the 2010 Census"…  

"Hola is not having a segregative effect in the Hoboken District Schools. Therefore, I affirm the Department's 2014 decision that Hola Charter School is renewed with its expansion for a period of five years through June 30, 2019" -NJDOE 3/20/15
