Three Strikes For Regis Academy Charter School; Separation Of Church And State, Enrollment Discrepancies And Skimming Students
On March 12, 2012 Regis Academy held a Board of Trustees Meeting. Let's take a look at the Minutes from the previous meeting on February 6, 2012, shall we?
Regis Board Notes
(I know the document is highlighted, but this wasn't done by me. I won't be touching on all of these items, just the ones I think are reasons for the NJDOE to deny Regis their final charter.)
The thing that first struck me was that not only was the meeting held at Solid Rock Worship Center, but there was an invocation by Amir Khan before the meeting. Invocation is defined by Merriam-Webster as:
a prayer of entreaty (as at the beginning of a service of worship)
Oh dear.
This made me do a bit of research to see what the current thinking is on starting a public school Board Meeting
