The school had reserved spots based on race or ethnicity—“Black,” “White,” “Hispanic,” or “Other”—before filling remaining seats without regard to race. The settlement bans all race-based preferences, mandates a new merit-driven admissions policy by the 2027-2028 school year, requires staff training, and demands ongoing compliance reports until August 2029. This landmark move ensures equal opportunity in one of New Jersey’s most competitive high schools. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
