Newark Insiders Forum: Education Reform in Newark

Join Newark Regional Business Partnership and series sponsor Gibbons P.C. at the next Newark Insiders Forum. The breakfast is sponsored by Essex County College and The Star-Ledger.

The spotlight is on education in Newark with community leaders, educators, the private sector and government debating how to give Newark's children a quality education that prepares them for the workforce and for life. What is at stake, and why is it important for the entire community?

We know that a better education will improve the chances of success for Newark youth and make the City more attractive for residents and employees. What are the most significant challenges and how will the progress be measured? Join us on June 1 to hear perspectives on these and other questions. Speakers include Dr. Edythe M. Abdullah, President, Essex County College; Ross Danis, Newark Education Trust; Mashea Ashton, Newark Charter School Fund; Dan Gohl, Newark Public Schools; Shavar Jeffries, Newark Public Schools Advisory Board; and Jarrad Toussant, City of Newark.
