AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMISSIONER of the New Jersey Department of Education We, the undersigned, vigorously oppose Princeton Charter School’s application to expand its enrollment by 76 students. This expansion would have devastating consequences for Princeton Public Schools and the 3,700 students served by the district. Please reject the application, as it is not in the best interests of the Princeton community.
