New Jersey Commissioner of Education
Final Decision
In the Matter of Travis Ally,
College Achieve Central Charter School,
Union County.
The Commissioner has reviewed the record of this matter and the decision of the
School Ethics Commission (SEC), finding that respondent violated the School Ethics Act for
failure to timely complete charter school trustee training in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:12-33,
N.J.A.C. 6A:28-4.1, and N.J.A.C. 6A:11-3.1. 	The SEC’s decision was forwarded to the
Commissioner for final determination on the recommended penalty pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:12-
29(c). The SEC recommended a sanction of removal effective upon the adoption of the decision
the Commissioner. 	Alternatively, if the respondent completes the required training before the
Commissioner issues his final decision, the SEC recommends that respondent be suspended for
30 days. Respondent has neither filed exceptions to the recommended penalty nor instituted an
appeal of the SEC’s underlying finding of violation, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:4-1 et seq.
Upon review, the Commissioner concurs with the penalty recommended by the
SEC for respondent’s failure to timely honor an obligation placed upon charter school trustees by
law. 	Additionally, respondent is admonished for causing the unnecessary expenditure of
administrative and adjudicative resources at both State and local levels.
