    The epicenter of academic fraud–the Freehold Regional High School District–is at it again. The Board by municipal weighted vote, decided not to hire her. However, the Board secretary refused to disclose the results, which were obtained by APP reporter, Kim Predham. Kim determined by the weight of each vote that the disgraced Ms. (former Dr.) Evangelsita, did not get re-appointed!!!

    This woman should have been terminated two years ago when the largest case of academic fraud was discovered, whereby 5 employees obtained and used towards their proffession, unaccredited degrees from online bogus diploma mill Breyer State University.

    The monies that these people used in addition to legal fees and security fees, would have staved off many of the kids programs slated for elimination.

    I hope the only route to be considered is the north-south route, the Freehold-Matawan route. A route that goes any other direction will not have sufficient ridership

    john 9:56 pm on September 1, 2010 Permalink | Reply

    Mark, that is not correct. The Matawan would not have as many daily riders as the Jamesburg route. The Red Bank will have the least amount of daily riders.
