Camden schools

This past week, the Governor visited a school in Camden to tout the benefits of a pilot program where a select number of children will be fed a dinner before going home – in addition to the breakfast and lunch they now get in school. Reason here is that in order for the children to be more attentive in school, and be better prepared to delve into homework assignments, they need to have a good meal

Gov. Chris Christie is praising a new pilot program that is offering free hot dinners to students in a half-dozen Camden schools.

Camden's schools superintendent says it was a "kick-in-the-stomach moment" when he learned that only three district high school students who took the SAT this year scored as college-ready.

Governor Christie has named a onetime Iranian refugee as the new superintendent of Camden schools.

The state of New Jersey moved to take over the Camden school district Monday, seeking to fix what officials said is a broken system that allows thousands of students in one of the nation's poorest cities to fail each year.
