Hoboken School District Sues State, City Charter School

District claims the school's charter and expansion approval is 'not valid.'

The Hoboken School District has filed a lawsuit, requesting the new State Department of Education to "reassess" the renewal of a city charter school and its expansion.

The district filed a lawsuit on April 14 against the Hoboken Dual Language Charter School (HoLa) and the state Department of Education, calling the state's approval of the school's charter and expansion "not valid," according to NJ.com.

Hoboken claims the approval should be reversed because the state's Department of Education chief innovation officer made the decision and not the department's commissioner, according to the report.
