Wise Virginia Van Soest Judge nulliﬁes district regulation (continued from page 3) by law, and that it violated various provisions of the New Jersey Constitution, the United States Constitution, and several New Jersey statutes and regulations. They argued that the regulation also violates the state law that provides that a school district’s right to impose a consequence on a student for conduct away from school grounds, including on a school bus or at a school sponsored function, must be exercised only when the conduct, which is the subject of the proposed consequence, “materially and substantially” interferes with the requirements of the appropriate discipline in the operation of the school. In his analysis of the law, Judge McGill noted that the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides “heightened protection against government interference with certain fundamental rights and liberty interests.” He explained that the liberty interest in this case is the interest of the parents in the care, custody, and control of their children, which he described as “perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this court.” McGill cited numerous court cases to support his findings, but he ultimately found that the authority of a district board of education over students is subject to limitations, and its right to impose a consequence for conduct away from school grounds is specifically limited to situations where the exercise of that authority is reasonably necessary for the student’s physical or emotional safety, security and well-being, or for reasons relating to the safety, security, and well-being of other students, staff or school grounds. He also found that the school district has no authority to enforce the regulation, determine guilt, or otherwise impose a consequence for alleged violations of the New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice and/or applicable municipal codes or ordinances. He found that the adoption of the regulation was outside, and in excess, of the powers that are authorized by law for an entity and was therefore unlawful and unconstitutional and it violated the Meeses’ parental rights. Theresa Meese said she was delighted with the judge’s decision, which is a recommendation to the commissioner of education and can be adopted, modified, or rejected by the commissioner who, by law, is authorized to make the final decision in the matter. “The school board should understand that the parents have primary responsibility for the nurturing and discipline of their children,” she said, “and that the school’s authority is limited to those times where the school is acting in lieu of the parents or when the health and safety of other children are at risk. We’re happy that the decision clearly delineated that authority and found that the school board overstepped its authority. Our reason for challenging the regulation is that it clearly went beyond the school board’s authority and treaded upon our rights as parents. The school board should know that you don’t teach a child to do right by breaking the law yourself.” S HEM RELIGIOUS DIRECTORY �� 12:10 pm �� HOLY CROSS LUTHERAN CHURCH - LCMS THE CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD 125 Glasgow Terr, Mahwah. 201-529-2117 The Episcopal Wednesday MidlandWorship Schedule Sunday and Parish for Evening Park and Wyckoff Sunday Ave - Midland Worship 10:25AM 497 GodwinBible— 9:15AM - Park — 201-444-6168 Wednesday - Worship 7:30PM The www.holycrossmahwah.org The Rev.
