In December, the Trust’s Board of Directors ratified the local education fund’s Strategic Plan, 2014-2016. The three-year strategic focus emphasized two key areas:

1. Influencing quality public education governance and leadership. The Trust supports the recruitment and retention of high performing leaders, as well as promotes strategic policy and practice changes at the system level.
2. Re-imagining and fostering high quality public schools and school options for the future. The Trust’s strategic plan ratifies its support of equitable, high quality public school options and sees the organization influencing the optimal quality and quantity of public schools for the success of youth and their communities. This focus also envisions activating community members to inform school choice and whole child development factors.

“This past year has been particularly demanding, exciting, and productive,” Danis said. “Quite a bit of why we continue to deliver on our mission while building a strong organization is due to a persistent attention to detail, thanks to the diligence of our staff, but also the demands of our partners in the Newark education community,” he added.

After nearly three years at its offices in the National Newark Building, the Newark Trust for Education moved in December 2013 to a modern, spacious, office at 494 Broad Street, Newark.

The move comes at a critical time in the Trust's three-year history. The organization, the city's only local education fund, is in the midst of rebuilding its board of trustees, which this month approved a new three-year strategic plan.

"This new space will allow us to grow as we expand our reach into the Newark community, working closely with the community to ensure the best possible education for all Newark youth," said Dr. Ross Danis, Trust president and CEO.
