Hebrew high is catalyst as charter critics rally | New Jersey News | NJJN: "A boisterous rally in Highland Park drew about 300 people who want local voters to have a greater say in approving charter schools.
Calling themselves a bipartisan grassroots initiative, organizers of the June 21 SOS (Save Our Schools) rally support two pieces of legislation that seek to slow the expansion of charter schools in the state.
Organizers say local voters should have a say whether such schools — including the proposed Tikun Olam Hebrew Language Charter High School, which would draw students from Highland Park, Edison, and New Brunswick and which drew criticism from several speakers — serve local interests and school budget priorities."
