As you know, the Alliance for Newark Public Schools has consistently advocated for Newark students for the past 10 years. As this school year winds up, we have compiled our year-end evaluation tool for the school district and its schools.
grade NBOE schools
The purpose of this year-end evaluation is to examine issues and recommend solutions as well as recognize prevailing strengths. The results will be based on the feedback from those most impacted- students, parents, and staff. We will release the results on Monday, June 13, 2022, and have a conversation concerning the predominant issues revealed. The purpose is not to point fingers or blame. We know our children need all of us to collectively work together. We ask that you encourage the schools to participate in this evaluation via school leaders, teachers, staff, parents, students, and the community.
Here is the link and also attached is a cover flier to explain the process.
It is important the LEA is evaluated by the community on a grassroots level. Besides sharing your thoughts during the public speaking portion of the NBOE monthly business meeting and/or regular meeting, you can also participate collectively in evaluating the LEA. In what ways is the NBOE governing the District to ensure it is happening according to the communities’ desires.
Complete the survey and we can have some ideas to share with the NBOE and LEA for the upcoming academic year.

Currently, I am a Program Coordinator, Adjunct Professor, and Community Advocate, Activist, and Organizer, Founder/Executive Director of Balm In Gilead Community Services, Inc, a non-profit organization in the City of Newark, and Chief Executive Officer of Making Connections Professional Services LLC.
My professional goal is to formulate and implement policy to address the systemic issues related to racism, poverty, education, violence, and health care. Also, advocate and articulate the negative effect of those issues to decision-makers for providing a better understanding of the impact/outcome of those decisions upon individuals, families, and communities that are underserved, under-resourced, marginalized, and disenfranchised.
