Mashea Ashton, the CEO of the Newark Charter School Fund released the following statement in support of Newark Public Schools Plan to expand the number of high quality public schools in Newark.

"Parents in Newark have been extremely clear about their desire to have more high-quality public school options in the city, as evidenced by the more than 10,000 children on waiting lists at the city's 18 charter schools. We fully support Superintendent Cami Anderson's effort to expand the number of high-quality, high-performing public schools, including charters and other public school options. The Newark Charter School Fund has always been focused on the mission of ensuring every child in this city has the opportunity to attend a quality public school."
