Residents Plan Anti-Charter School Rally For Friday

The rally is opposing the Mandarin-immersion charter school that would draw students from South Orange, Maplewood and West Orange.

With the latest application by the Hua Mei in the process, some Maplewood, West Orange and South Orange residents are joining together to fight it.

On Friday, January 6 at 4:30 p.m.,residents will be meeting at the Maplewood Community Centerin DeHart Park to protest the application. More than 1,500 residents have already signed a petition that asks Acting Education Commissioner Christopher Cerf to reject Hua Mei’s application, something that has happened before.
