Week In Review: Christie Sticks with Jersey

: On Tuesday, Gov. Chris Christie made a final statement regarding a possible 2012 run for the White House: It won't happen. The state's chief executive said he did consider the idea seriously and even received an okay from his wife. In the end, though, Christie told a crowd in Trenton that he wants to finish the job he started in the Garden State. The governor said a presidential bid may be in his future, but then again, he added, he could end up working for NBC.

After parents complained, the school board voted to move the deadline to Oct. 1 and to add a new third-grade section at Troy Hills. The board also approved the hiring of a new teacher for the new class.
