dc.description.abstract | This paper first establishes the educational and attainment gaps in Newark in comparison to the rest of New Jersey, and then articulates the complementary issues from outside the classroom and in the community. These gaps in family composition, employment, violence, child safety, and overall child poverty are the factors that require attention from the FNF. The paper illustrates funding allocation (not overall funding), efficiency, and awareness as the pivotal problem. Next, outlining the history of NJ and Newark Education provides a broad overview of past efforts. Finally, the paper addresses the Zuckerberg Grant and Mayor Cory Booker's vision for NPS while evaluating the proposed reforms. The paper shows the progress and allocations in school choice and teacher quality, but it argues these strategies are only part of the overwhelming educational picture. I ultimately argue Newark will not emerge from the cycle of poverty and perpetual reform without focusing on community engagement and at risk youth. The legacies of the Booker's administration and Zuckerberg's grant depend on these aspects while the people of Newark, especially the children, depend on these leaders.
