Universal Vare Charter School will close after the 2025-26 school year, displacing 59 students and 9 staff members.

By the 2027-2028 school year, the Cherry Hill School District expects to offer universal free preschool to 1,700 3- and 4-year-olds. Currently, there are 250 families on a waitlist.

Teacher Gabrielle McDaniel, who said she's being fired, taught in the autistic support classroom at Jamison Elementary where a whistleblower reported students were mistreated.

It's not clear whether the position cuts will mean layoffs. Temple faces a $19 million structural deficit for fiscal 2025 and $60 million for 2026.

The South Philadelphia school, which had 125 students this past school year, won't accept fifth graders in the fall. It appears to be on a path to closure.
