Welcome to the Newark Trust for Education's Countdown to the 2018 School Board Election!!

Three seats on the Newark Public Schools Board of Education are open for election as the board moves beyond advisory capacity. Tuesday, April 17^th marks the first election in over two decades in which candidates vie for a seat on a fully empowered Board of Education. During this significant occasion in Newark’s history, residents have the opportunity to shape the future of public education for our children.

Your vote does more than impact the leadership of our educational system.  Your voice ensures that we work collectively and democratically to address the critical needs of Newark’s students.

As the Board of Education begins the process of searching for the first Superintendent of the Newark Public Schools to be hired under full local control, they recognize the importance of capturing multiple perspectives. As an initial step in the process, the search committee is seeking input from the Newark community on the desired characteristics and skills sought after in the next Superintendent.
