More charter schools are coming to New Jersey. Governor Christie has approved nearly two dozen applications.
That's the largest number since the program was created more than 15 years ago. Giovanna Drpic reports on Gov. Christie's plan.

News 12's coverage of Gov. Chris Christie's Jan. 18, 2011 visit to Robert Treat Academy, where he announced his administration approved 23 new charter schools, including the Forest Hill Charter School, which is founded by The North Ward Center and is the first charter school in New Jersey for children with special needs.

In his 2011 State of the State address, Gov. Chris Christie mentioned a visit to the Robert Treat Academy, when he spoke to a parent who told him the difference between getting into the school for her son was the difference between going to jail or going to college.
