Vineland Charter School gets OK for pre-schoolers

That follows last month’s go-ahead from the Vineland Planning Board for the school’s planned construction on Pennsylvania Avenue. The board at its April 21 meeting unanimously approved Highmark School Development’s site plan.

VINELAND - The state has given approval to Vineland Public Charter School to expand its enrollment to include pre-school classes for the 2016-17 school year, according to school officials.
