With no schools operating, New Jersey district has uncertain fate

Reopening campus or merging with another system are possibilities for Chesilhurst district
Aug. 12, 2011

From The Philadelphia Inquirer: The Chesilhurst (N.J.) school district closed its only school two years ago, but a permanent decision on where the community's elementary school students should attend classes remains unresolved. The options being considered by state and local officials: Make a permanent arrangement to send elementary students elsewhere, or allow the district to reopen Foster Elementary, which closed in 2009. Since then, Chesilhurst's 120 elementary students have been going to school in Winslow, where the town's middle and high school students already had been attending. But a dispute between the districts over tuition payments has made it uncertain whether any Chesilhurst students will be in Winslow beyond this school year.
