NJDOE: Some Charters Ain't Worth It

Oh, dear - looks like sitting on a stage with governor Christie...


... isn't always enough to save your charter school:
State officials have raised questions about a planned charter school in Cherry Hill. 
Regis Academy is scheduled to open in the Ashland area later this year, pending final approval by the state Department of Education. But a DOE official, in a letter to the school’s organizer, said a legal challenge has presented “numerous issues and inaccuracies regarding the school’s application and addenda.” 
Amy Ruck, interim director of the state’s Office of Charter Schools, included no specifics in the letter to Pastor Amir Khan, head of the Solid Rock Worship Center.
