The N.J. Department of Education wants the Harrison Board of Education to pay back $60,335.95 in federal Title 1 funds the DOE says may have been misspent. But the HBOE will be challenging that claim, according to Assistant Superintendent of Schools James Doran and Business Administrator Daniel Choffo.
The Harrison Board of Education has revived the memory of a former U.S. president by voting to name its newest school - yet to be built - the Kennedy Elementary School, for John F. Kennedy. After Kennedy was killed by an assassin in November 1963, many governments and schools dedicated public facilities in the president's memory, as did the Harrison school board with its former high school stadium which stood at Warren and Dey Sts., then bearing the name of Mayor Frank E. Rodgers.
