Sherrill’s school choice dilemma: Funding windfall or private school vouchers?

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. This story was originally published by NJ Spotlight News through the NJ News Wire. Gov. Mikie Sherrill faces a tough choice: Enroll New Jersey in President Donald Trump’s new school choice program by Jan. 1, or leave what could be hundreds of millions of federal dollars on the table. Say yes, and face backlash from her blue-wave-emboldened base, which calls this a backdoor school voucher program channeling public money to private and religious schools.

The AIS 2027 Renovations, a Turn for the Class of 2028

The Agnes Irwin School has confirmed that renovations will take place after Commencement in June 2027. The plan for the 2027-2028 school year is not entirely known, but we have been given pieces of information to help us gain a better understanding on how our student life will be next year. In my opinion, I feel as if a renovation is needed, but the complete change in our schedule and classroom locations is an inconvenience. Additionally, this renovation will take place during the entirety of my senior year, which eliminates our lounge.
