A prominent NAACP leader is sending her child to a posh New England boarding school at the same time the civil-rights group is suing to block low-income parents from educating their kids in charter schools, The Post has learned.
Karen Boykin-Towns, who heads the group’s Brooklyn branch and serves on its national board, enrolls her daughter, Jasmine, at the bucolic, 80-acre Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, which charges up to $45,000 in annual tuition.
Her husband is Darryl Towns, the state housing commissioner and former Brooklyn state assemblyman who voted to increase the cap on charter schools last year.
Her father-in-law is veteran Brooklyn Congressman Ed Towns.
“We know you are selective about your future . . . We’re equally selective at Brewster. We want only the very best students,” the school says in its brochure.
