How could it happen that New Jersey officials cut the ribbon at the opening of a new charter school facility in September, but the school just lost its nonprofit status?
Jersey Jazzman here reviews the nonstop administrative incompetence of the New Jersey Department of Education in relation to its failure to provide adequate oversight.
He concludes:
“I don’t think I’ve even covered it all, but you get the point: New Jersey’s oversight of charter schools under Chris Cerf has been a disaster. He brought in people light on experience – both in education and in New Jersey – and the state’s children have paid the price for their incompetence.
“And it’s not just the turnover at the NJDOE that’s caused this train wreck; it’s the infestation of inexperienced ideologues, paid for by California billionaires who bad-mouth New Jersey’s students and schools. Their arrogance and intransigence have turned the state’s charter approval and oversight processes into a bad joke.”
You’re right and those avaricious billionaires are attacking us. They covet the budget of the LAUSD which has more money than some states. Check out my petition. They have an agenda different from ours and they don’t listen well.

Can’t we have senate hearings on all this corruption and these civil rights violations nationwide? Story after story of mismanaged criminal behavior all sanctioned by the feds.
You know it’s hard to fight when these people own charters themselves…
