I think many people could be swayed through the analysis of ev- idence and respectful discussion. But I am against the fast track process that was used to obtain PI- ACS’ charter.” Later Smyth posted that “the PI- ACS mission is indeed an exten- sion and continuation of the core of the YingHua mission. It was al- ways my understanding that key people at YingHua hoped that eco- nomically advantaged families would be sufficiently generous in their support of the school to enable less economically fortune families to participate. And to some extent, this really happened. YingHua was conscientious with accommoda- tions. We all would have liked to Ranked in the Top 1% Internationally.* see the teachers paid better, and ... well ... in the end, there just wasn’t Over 37 Million Closed Sales & 124 Transactions in 2009.* enough money.” Parker Block, a spokesman and co-founder of PIACS, argued oth- erwise: “Only 11 of the 170 stu- dents registered are currently en- rolled at the YingHua International School (YHIS). Over 90 percent of the families that comprise PIACS have nothing to do with YHIS. “The majority of children regis- tered with PIACS are currently en- rolled in the public school system. The parents of these children have chosen PIACS because they want a dual-language immersion and an inquiry-based framework within the public system just as there are in many top public school districts around the country. “In a tough economy, it is a lux- ury to be able to pay property taxes and send children to a private school, particularly if you have more than one child. While PIACS is not a re-incarnation of a private school (there are many differences *For Coldwell Banker New Jersey NRT based on NRT 2007-2009. *Based on Trend MLS 2009. in the curriculum) parents believe these types of programs should not be reserved for the economic elites. PIACS offers an education that should be available to all children.” 10 THE NEWS JULY 23, 2010 Kathryn Baxter, Realtor Associate www.kathybaxter.com People In The News Boys State Attendee In College Duke University: Varun Anand Gu- maste of West Windsor is on the dean’s list.

What I like about being in Plainsboro is that you have more of a one-on-one; you get involved more than you do in a larger city.” Torres worked under Hullfish, who picked up where her former boss in Trenton left off in training her. “They really opened my eyes about how to interact with the pub- lic and how to understand politics and to work with the government,” she said. When Hullfish retired, Torres was appointed as acting clerk until she finished her certification. She just fulfilled the last requirement - passing the state exam. But Torres will be involved in ongoing educa- tion through seminars associated with her work as the registrar, which requires her to learn about changes in the law. Torres said she would bring those changes to the town and make sure procedures are updated and followed properly. Another one of her goals is to “find ways to serve people in a more effi- cient manner.” “I appreciate and took to heart all the support I received through getting hired as deputy, being en- couraged to continue, and being given the opportunity to take the state exam and get the certifica- tion,” said Torres. “The support has been overwhelming.” “If I were to be asked whether or not I would prefer the city or subur- ban atmosphere, I would definitely say Plainsboro Township,” she said about working in the two mu- nicipalities. “It makes my 45- minute commute worth it.” Plainsboro Adopts Taxi Ordinance
