Newark Parents and OPRA

If you think that the Plainfield school district is a mess, you should look at Newark schools.  Today there was a news article on how Newark must turn over a list of e-mails surrounding the Facebook grant and Newark's local leadership.  The order was made by the court in a case presented by the ACLU on behalf of Newark's Secondary Parents Council

A google search for the Secondary Parents Council turned up the ACLU page that holds all documents that seem have lead to this new development.  There are more parties that have joined this case.  I am just amazed on how OPRA is helping reveal how things are made to work, or not, by those who forget that transparency is here to stay.

If you are interested on OPRA, education, state and local politics, HERE is your link.

Have a nice weekend. I am taking the weekend off as I am still trying to find the words to thank Assemblyman Jerry Green for the kind recognition of yours truly at his very own blog and have decided to take the weekend off to ponder on how to best thank him.  See his post HERE and see you Monday!
