I totally understand that the 10 school administrations and staff should be a part of making the change but let's stop sugar coating the process Yes we need the money for the ten schools and maybe it will improve the schools climate,academics and environment but only those who live and work in those communities knows what their community needs and every effort should be given to educate and involve each and everyone within the ten schools which are affected by the SIG grant. I am very upset that NPS have blocked emails coming from Ms. Owens, I really hope that was a error because how can Newark Public School continue to state that they are working with the community when someone feels like they want to share information they get blocked. We will continue to Rally and March and speak out to what we feel is right. I just hope those who are paid by the system learns that it's not about them it's about the students and the community after this process is over.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129965898396989885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502187932910780823.post-45655054630148823642010-04-16T14:28:13.413-04:002010-04-16T14:28:13.413-04:00Thank you!

As I continue to urge those in leadership positions to stand in solidarity with us, it turns out that Newark Public Schools has blocked my email address from sending emails to anyone with the @nps.k12.nj.us tag! I sent the link to this article to all of the principals, and rapidly, the emails were all sent back to me. But that's ok, because we will continue our fight. Next week--the City Council meeting to ask for our local elected officials' support. We're making a lot of noise in Newark, but, ultimately, we have to make it down to Trenton.
