Mayor Cory Booker Speaks On $100 Million Donation By Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg
Mayor Cory Booker has spoken out about the $100 million donation to Newark Public Schools by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Cory Booker statement on Facebook donation
“In the coming weeks, I will join with other elected leaders to launch a community engagement effort to solicit input from every voice within our city. From community forums to focus groups and online surveys, we will create various ways for every Newarker to participate in developing a shared vision to guide a new mandate for our public schools. We expect different views to be voiced about the sources of our problems and the paths to effective solutions. But what we must do is unite around our common principles and join in a collective commitment to do what it takes to provide a great education and a promising future to our young people. And, going forward, we must hold ourselves more accountable for delivering results for our kids; when it comes to ensuring that every child has access to an excellent education, no one gets a pass.”
