We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Hopewell Valley, Princeton and WWP are all hybrid models, why is Lawrence still locking away its students? What am I paying taxes for in this district if the people running the show can't get their act together? Much is being lost in this process while the district is focused on other distractions....
