Newark teachers protest charter schools' use of public school buildings

Daniel Ulloa:

The Newark Teachers Union sent an email to its 4,800 members urging them to protest against the placement of charter school in underutilized public school buildings at an Advisory board meeting held tonight at Barringer High School.

According to the Wall St. Journal, Union President Joseph Del Grosso strongly objects to the placement of charter schools in public school buildings, claiming that some of the private funding that the Charter schools will make obvious the stark differences between the two types of schools.

The meeting will begin at 6 P.M. Tuesday, and staff, students, and parents are all being invited to voice their concerns.
