Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded the case to the Commissioner of Education, holding that the constitutional challenges to the Public School Education Act of 1975 should initially be resolved by an administrative tribunal rather than by the courts. The Court also affirmed that exhaustion of administrative remedies is not an absolute prerequisite for judicial review of constitutional claims.
