A husband and wife who run controversial charter schools in Asbury Park and Neptune used a family-owned business to manufacture thousands of dollars worth of school apparel at taxpayer expense, in direct violation of New Jersey's school ethics law, a New Jersey Advance Media investigation has found.
After learning of the violations, school officials began using other closed stores as middlemen to conceal the work being done by the family-owned business, according to four sources with internal knowledge of the school. Those purchases totaled $143,274 between December 2021 and January 2024, according to invoices obtained by NJ Advance Media.
