History
On January 15, 1997, Leo Klagholz, the New Jersey Commissioner of Education, enacted the school's charter. The school opened in 1997 with classes in the Demarest Building and had its charter extended for five years in 2001. In 2010, the school moved its K-8 students into the former Academy of the Sacred Heart building.
In 2012, the K-8 building was hit by a fire categorized as three alarms; it would be unavailable until September 2013. The former St. Anne's School (of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark) in Jersey City Heights was the temporary class location. Additionally Hurricane Sandy in late 2012 had disrupted operations of the school.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hoboken Charter School” as charter school in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as charter school in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q97355158. Authority coordinates are 40.751, -74.027. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023, 1997, 2001 and 2010.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
