(Business wire)--Lakewood, NJ -Today, The School for Children with Hidden Intelligence in Lakewood, New Jersey, announced that its Founder and Director, Osher Eisemann, will be taking a voluntary leave of absence with new members to be added to its Board of Directors to assist in the transition.
Dr. James Delaney, Ph.D., SCHI’s Principal, will fill the additional role of Interim Director. The names of the new members of the Board will be announced soon.
Director Eisemann stated, “It is with sincere regret that I voluntarily will take a leave of absence from the institution to which I have devoted my life to for over twenty-two years. We take great pride in the fact that SCHI’s annual audits, conducted by New Jersey Department of Education approved independent auditors, have always resulted in certifications of completeness. Regrettably, baseless allegations made against me have resulted in this decision.”
Dr. Delaney said, “Even though Director Eisemann has not been accused by the State Attorney General of appropriating SCHI funds for personal use, Director Eisemann has once again put the interests of our students first so that the School may move on from these scurrilous allegations. It is my honor to continue the legacy of SCHI by providing education and support services to our families, and I thank Director Eisemann, who is admired, trusted, and respected as a great role model, and the Board of Directors for their many years of dedicated and honorable service.”
Since its founding by Director Eisemann in 1995, The School for Children with Hidden Intelligence (SCHI) has grown to become a world-renowned, cutting-edge therapeutic and educational center meeting the unique needs of hundreds of severely-disabled, medically fragile, and socially-emotionally challenged children and young adults ranging in age from birth to 21+.
SCHI provides educational and therapeutic services by certified professional staff to children with disabilities as varied as autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, muscular dystrophy, Spina bifida, and cerebral palsy, among others. SCHI places great emphasis on maintaining a high teacher to pupil ratio (minimum of 1:2) along with individualized educational programs, designed to fit each student’s specific needs.
