The Newark Trust for Education is holding community forums to:

• Gain community feedback on information presented during the Mayor's community conversations on the return to local control
• Inform community members about the process to return of local control and other issues relevant to this year's election
• Provide community members an opportunity to inform questions for candidates running for election to the NPS Advisory Board
• Inform recommendation to the Mayor and NPD Advisory Board chair.

Each forum will focus one of the following questions:

Q1: What information is necessary to inform your vote?

Q2: In consideration of local control, what are the qualities necessary for a strong and effective advisory board? Does the type of board, elected or appointed, make a difference? If so, what are the pros and cons of each?

Q3: As local control emerges, what are the key initiatives you believe are important to implement for attaining your vision of an effective public school system in Newark?
