Academy Records Release in New Jersey Gubernatorial Race Shows the Haunts of School Discipline
News sites herald candidate Jack Ciattarelli’s ascent in the New Jersey governor’s race, with the release of opposition candidate Mikie Sherill’s old Naval Academy records relating to her school discipline. Sherill admits having been barred from walking at her Academy graduation, Sherill says, because she failed to report classmates involved in a cheating scandal, as the Academy’s honor code required.

The New Jersey Governor’s Race
Ascendant candidate Jack Ciattarelli has more than made a race out of it as New Jersey’s next governor. Ciatterelli has ridden his bold plan to reform New Jersey state government and public schools into a dead heat or even a small lead for the upcoming early November general election, against early prognostications.
The plan includes helping underperforming schools, freeing high-performing schools from burdensome regulation, and giving parents and students greater public school, community college, and vocational and technical school choices, while reducing student debt and strengthening the state’s workforce.
A School Past Can Come Back to Haunt You
Candidate Sherill hasn’t helped her cause. First were her blunders over her intention to raise taxes, her congressional fines for unreported stock trading, and her vast increase in wealth during her brief public service. But then came the revelation about her Naval Academy discipline, when she had been trying to rely on her military service to boost her reputation.
Schools at all levels have to ensure that students live up to school norms for honesty and integrity. Those norms are especially important in higher education and even more important at the military academies. Hence, the shock over Sherill’s admission to her discipline for not living up to Naval Academy standards.
Avoid School Discipline If at All Possible
Don’t fall into the trap into which Sherill stepped, if you can possibly avoid it. If you face school disciplinary charges, your future may be at stake. Even the smallest school discipline, such as a reprimand, probation, or loss of privileges, like the discipline Sherill admits suffering, can affect your future employment, reputation, and opportunities. It might even cost you a governor’s election.
Your best move when facing school disciplinary charges is to retain our highly qualified Student Defense Team to invoke your school’s protective procedures. We are often able to promptly negotiate voluntary dismissal of the charges based on your exonerating and mitigating evidence.
