Brewster, I went through the High school process twice so I understand your concern. My question was only about authority, not persuasion.

I'm sure not, but I hear they at least will listen to him about dragging the system kicking and screaming into the 1990's if not the 2010's. Try googling that program as I suggested, there's no coherent info, that PDF of User's is actually kinda obscure if you don't already know what it is, it doesn't even say where the school is.

As a family that just went through the process of discovering what HS choices there were in JC, I can say there's vast room for improvement in the info presented to the public. I'm certain not all middle schools have as energetic asst Principal as LCCS does in gathering info for parents, and even so, there were gaps. And that's just for HS, there's choices to be made the whole way through, and often little guidance but for word of mouth. But maybe the board wants it that way, so kids just go to their failing local schools and make the district numbers work.

Does the mayor have control over the BOE website?

I pass this school weekly and its a separate high school from Snyder.

Jersey City Arts School

Umm, you do know Snyder occupies the whole block between Bergen & Kennedy?

So I guessed right, even though I didn't know just how many hours a week. But it still seems uninformative of JJ to call it a "high school", leading the even less informed to think JC has a separate school of this description. Try googling "Jersey City Arts High School" and see the slim hits.

Being a parent here is tough enough without getting the straight info being so hard. You have to know it exists online to find the Mcnair Handbook online, even then it's 6 years out of date. Hopefully the Fulop regime will find a way to let the schools have their own webpages, something now forbidden.

Yeah JCAHS is the school located in GV that all the parents were complaining about because they have stopped the school bus service. Which means kids now have to take public transportation to get to.

Official name is Jersey City Arts High School program aka VPA (Visual and Performing Arts). VPA is about half the school day, not just a few hours a week. There's plenty pick on in JJ but this time, no.

Snyder is on Bergen ave, this school is on Kennedy.

When I read this, I was like "Arts High School"? I think they're talking about a magnet program at Snyder that kids from all over the district attend a few hours a week. Just more bad JJ reportage. Snyder could use some good coverage, they (deservedly) don't get much.
