As we work to deliver an extraordinary, equitable, and high-quality education for every child in Red Bank, our community has a historic opportunity to come together. The Red Bank Borough Board of Education and District Administration are requesting that the New Jersey Commissioner of Education non-renew the charter for the Red Bank Charter School so we can unite all local public school students under a single, strong Preschool through Grade 8 district.

Local demand for the charter school has steadily declined while maintaining two separate administrative systems creates duplicative costs. Unifying our schools will eliminate redundant overhead, break down racial and socioeconomic divides, and bring comprehensive resources such as dedicated Child Study Teams, sports, and fine arts to all Red Bank children under one roof.

We need your voice. State leaders need to see the overwhelming community support for a single, unified school district.

Please sign our digital petition asking New Jersey Commissioner of Education Dr. Lily Laux to deny the charter renewal application and support unification.

Why Your Signature Matters:

• Fiscal Responsibility: Saves in duplicative administrative expenses annually to reinvest directly in our classrooms.
• A Stronger, Unified Community: Eliminates divides and fosters true racial and socioeconomic integration in our two-square-mile town.
• Expanded Opportunities: Ensures all students access advanced academics, bilingual support, comprehensive student services, sports, and arts programs supported by our ready infrastructure.
• Proven Excellence: Builds on Red Bank Borough Public Schools' record as an NJDOE Lighthouse District and QSAC high-performing district.

Every signature demonstrates to the state that Red Bank stands united for the future of our children. Thank you for your partnership and commitment to helping all Red Bank students Dream BIG!
