Bob Ingle, the Trenton Bureau Chief and Political Columnist at Gannett, recently wrote on the validity of the Princeton International Academy Charter School's (PIACS) lawsuit against the Princeton Regional, West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional and South Brunswick school districts. The lawsuit, filed by attorneys at DeCotiis, FitzPatrick & Cole, LLP, has generated headlines throughout the state for its novel approach to the issue of public school districts using public funds to fight the establishment of a planned charter school.
The column quotes William Harla, a partner and Executive Committee member at DeCotiis, who represents PIACS. Harla believes the school districts are violating the law. "You as a school district are not supposed to pick sides between school bodies or school students," said Harla.
