Last Wednesday, the Newark City Planning Commission voted 8-1 in favor of allowing North Star to continue expanding their charter school operations in Newark. The proposed campus (where the old Star Ledger used to be) will house 1300 students ranging from elementary to high school. We have said over and over again, we are at war, and the cost of losing this war will be the end of public education in Newark.
With the community, we are asking for a massive “WALK IN” at Monday night’s Advisory Board meeting. It is vital that we come out in force! The meeting starts at 6 PM. We want everyone there by 5:30 PM so we can walk in as one large body.
