Ras Baraka Man of the People

“One thing I’m sure of is no one can do this by themselves,”. A fundamental piece of our plan is the inclusion of all institutions in the community, all the stakeholders in the community. Everyone who has a stake has to be involved.The state has had control for 19 years, and everything that has happened falls squarely on the shoulders of those in Trenton,We need local control of the school board so we can get the job done ourselves.We want to create community-based afterschool programs, build a network of parents from charter and district schools, integrate Spanish, Portuguese and Creole languages into all school activities and provide incentives for teachers to work in Newark."
