Hoboken Board of Education and Hoboken Charter Schools: An Uncomfortable Relationship?

CLICK TO ENLARGE

In 2014 the Hoboken Board of Education super majority initiated a lawsuit against the Hola Dual Language charter school. The lawsuit claimed segregation effects and requested the Commissioner of the NJDOE to "reassess" Hola’s charter, essentially initiating an attempt to close the school. The Hoboken Board of Education lost the lawsuit initially and twice on appeal- finally ending the fiasco in 2017.


The current Board of Education super majority has also protested to the NJDOE Commissioner Elysian Charter School's modest request to add a few seats per grade and is currently disputing Hoboken charter schools fair share of PILOT funds from 770 Jackson Street.
Please consider voting on November 8th for a more inclusive and less litigious and vitriolic Board of Education.
