Newark Public schoolsSuperintendent CHRIS Cerf Presentation to the NJ State Board of Education
First 28 Days • Community & Stakeholder Engagement • District Operations & School Readiness • Bridge Building & Partnerships
Community and Stakeholder Engagement Engaged with over 50 community members and local elected leaders in the first 4 weeks. • Newark School Board • Local Advocates • Parents • Educators • Clergy • Philanthropic Partners • State Legislators • Mayor & City Council
District Operations & School Readiness • Much of the past 4 weeks has been spent meeting with NPS staff to learn about the current state of affairs – budget, personnel, facilities, etc. • Impressed with the caliber of the team and the leaders that I’ve already met during my Family Support Center and school visits. • In the coming weeks our primary focus will be to ensure that we successfully open schools in September – welcoming back our committed staff and exceptional students and families!
Building Bridges and Partnerships My Commitment: • Authentic Engagement • Openness to Listen and Strong Desire to Work Collaboratively • Transparency • Work with Mayor and community to return local control
Thank You & Questions Chris Cerf, Superintendent of Newark Public Schools
