Fractional faculty

Your recent edit to the article for Wardlaw-Hartridge School chopped off a digit past the decimal place for classroom teachers, with an edit summary stating that "It is not possible to have 55.1 faculty members. (In mathematical terms, faculty are represented by natural numbers, not real numbers.)" As described at [http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&ID=X1933171 the source of the data] and in more detail in the article for full-time equivalent, a classroom teacher who works half time would be 0.5 FTE, while one who works three of five days would be 0.6 FTE. This could also be a supervisor who has some classroom responsibilities. There is no reason to assume that a fractional total FTE (55.1 in this case) would be erroneous.

Schools listed in Edison, New Jersey

The two schools listed at the Edison, New Jersey are notable, which is why they are listed in the Education section. There is no reason to duplicate them (or any other entries) in the Notable places section, which is intended to reflect locations of significance not reflected elsewhere in the article.
