Montague, a one-school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through grade eight, petitioned the state education commissioner in December 2019 for approval to end its relationship with High Point Regional, in Wantage, so it could go back to sending students in grades 9-12 to Port Jervis High School in New York.
A subsequent lawsuit by Montague, filed December 2020, accused High Point of bad-faith obstruction of its petition, which was not ruled on and is now a dead issue.
Montague s resolution directs its legal counsel to immediately withdraw the board from the above-referenced actions and cease the performance of any and all actions related to termination of the board s sending-receiving relationship with High Point Regional Board of Education.
