Federal grant money on hold for proposed Shalom Academy Charter School, official says.
Proposed Hebrew immersion charter school Shalom Academy has appealed a state decision blocking the school from opening and denying it another year to prepare, education officials said Tuesday. State Education Commissioner Chris Cerf in July rejected the school’s bid to open in Teaneck and refused its request for another planning year. In a letter to Shalom Academy, Cerf said the school had not proven it was ready and could not supply the required documents, including fire and building inspections.

A spokeswoman at the U.S. Department of Education, which awarded Shalom Academy a $200,000 grant last year, confirmed the school had filed an …
