Bret Schundler
Founding Group Member
A former New Jersey Commissioner of Education, former COO of The King’s College in New York City, and former Mayor of Jersey City, Bret wrote the initial draft of New Jersey’s charter school legislation and organized the statewide political support that secured its passage. He was the Lead Founder of Golden Door Charter School here in Jersey City (where he also served as a Board of Trustees President), provided assistance that helped with the start-up of several additional local charter schools (for example, providing CDBG grants that enabled Learning Community Charter School to build classrooms at its original location, the former Jersey City Boys Club facility), and more recently has been providing extensive support for the successful founding of BelovED Community Charter School, also here in Jersey City.
