Reformers have made remarkable progress in NJ

 Reformers have made remarkable progress in NJ over the past 18 months: 

 

•                     Facebook's $100M gift with $44M in matching grants so far

•                     Chris Cerf as Commissioner

•                     Cami Anderson as Newark supt

•                     Charters gaining access to district space

•                     KIPP and Uncommon Schools proving what's possible with 90% of alums heading to college

•                     Teach For America expanding in Newark with a strong leader

•                     The NJDOE charter office finally getting an overhaul with real accountability coming to schools

•                     A legit political environment where tenure reform is not only popular, but being championed by Dems!
