WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN THE MEETING WITH CAMI ANDERSON?
Here's the statement from the Newark Students Union:
"After 65 hours of occupation, we, the Newark Students Union, met with the state-appointed Superintendent of the Newark Public Schools, Cami Anderson, in regards to her lack of communication with the students, parents, and the broader community of Newark, NJ. Due to her continued inability to have an open and constructive dialogue with us, she has inevitably created a deep mistrust against the administration and its policies. In the hour-long meeting, Anderson refused to commit to attending the school advisory board meeting on Tuesday, February 24th, at Shabazz X High School. Anderson has not attended a public board meeting for nine months, further distancing her from re-establishing a productive relationship with the community she serves. Failure to attend the board meeting will result in a follow-up action from students, parents, teachers, and the community.”
