New Jersey’s acting education commissioner has denied the expansion of two Newark charter schools, LEAD Charter School and Roseville Community Charter School, while approving the renewal of The Gray Charter School through 2029. The decisions were part of this year’s school amendment and renewal process, where 15 charter school requests were evaluated statewide. The denials were due to factors including low enrollment and stagnant achievement levels on state tests. Charter schools in N.J. serve over 60,000 students, with 20,450 of these students attending charters in Newark.
