Teaneck school officials urge public to join fight against charter school

TEANECK — Using $15 million of the school district’s budget to fund a virtual charter school would “devastate” local public education, district officials said Wednesday night.

Superintendent Barbara Pinsak detailed to parents and other residents how students would be affected if the Garden State Virtual Charter School opens in Teaneck next year and the district must divert the equivalent of 20 percent of its budget to fund it.

Pinsak asked residents to join with the district to “ force the Department of Education to behave responsibly towards the Teaneck students.”
