Did Christie volunteer to call those commissioners ? Did he just realize that St. Anthony's was set to close ?

True, but if he pulls this off it could be a small positive on a very poor record.

If it was a staff member, vs Christie himself, who made the initial call, I am not sure it would matter. I have no doubt he knew of the closing due to state-wide publicity for more than a year.

The higher ed rankings are based on public universities / colleges. FL is ranked #1, UT is #2, CA is #3. MA is #20, NJ is #28.
When it comes to public K-12, the ranks are #1 NH, #2 NJ, #3 MA, #4 CT.

Any publication that ranks MA K-12 public schools high should fire their editor.

Any publication that ranks MA K-12 public schools high should fire their editor. Massachusetts consistently has the highest standardized test scores in the country. The Northeast does a good job in this regard, but overall has weak flagship universities.

I don't necessarily disagree with the point you're making, but I just want to add that recent articles on NJ.com cited population shifts that showed people were generally leaving the suburbs for the more urban areas, at least in northern NJ. This has generally been the case since 2008-09 when the mortgage bubble burst and the housing market collapsed. I don't have the articles at my fingertips but I'll try to dig them up and post the links when I have a moment. No doubt that inner-city private schools are struggling though. I think that's especially true at those with a religious affiliation. But if the population shifts in NJ are happening as the articles seemed to point out, there are other underlying factors at work than just where people are living nowadays. Nobody is leaving the leafy suburbs of Northern New Jersey, for Jersey City. Nobody. Well, it's happening. Maybe not all to Jersey City, but some of those "leafy suburbs" have been shedding population. Some of them might be headed to NY or PA, but some are also headed back to the more urban areas.

The definition of urban isn't what it used to be. Massachusetts has shifted its discussion too. Obviously, Boston and its immediate urban ring are quite healthy economically. The problem is more in the "gateway cities," as they've been labeled in Massachusetts. Brockton, New Bedford, Springfield, Lawrence, Holyoke, etc. People are getting priced out of the immediate urban ring and pockets of places like Jersey City, Newark, etc are doing well. As people are displaced from there, the "affordable" communities become more diffuse and the problems get harder to tackle.

I wonder if Hurley would be willing to move to another school to coach? He, along with his transferring , could make for one interesting package.
