Jersey City School Admissions Under Fire | Jersey News
Description
The DOJ just announced a settlement with Jersey City’s school board over alleged racial quotas at McNair Academic High — but here’s the twist: the board hasn’t even voted on it yet, with a final decision pending until August 27, 2026. While the DOJ claims the school will stop favoring students by race or national origin, the board is holding off, calling documents advisory until their review. The investigation found McNair was reserving spots by ethnicity — a practice the DOJ says violates decades-old civil rights laws. No further comments from the DOJ, and the board remains tight-lipped — but odds are high they’ll eventually approve the deal, turning this into a real policy shift.
