SCHOOL CHOICE CONFERENCE
November 19, 2002
East Brunswick New Jersey.

Parents who want to send their children to a non-government run school must pay for three educations. They pay property taxes to send their neighbors to the local public school, they pay State Income taxes to pay for the children in the urban areas that are funded by State taxes and then they pay tuition to a school of their choice.

In Camden, New Jersey, 10 out of 22 schools had 100% of the fourth graders fail to pass the Fourth Grade reading test. The best school had 19% pass the test.

Following the US Supreme Courts decision to allow school choice to continue in Cleveland ,Ohio, the Camden City Council has unanimously backed parental choice and vouchers.

Excellent Education for Everyone (E3) has begun to organize parents in Camden and have registered over 3000 people to vote. They have also hired grassroots organizers to work all over the state and have been taking community leaders and elected officials to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where school choice has been in place for twelve years now.

They aim to improve urban public schools with the competitive pressure of school choice.

A Free Conference on Public Education Reform - "Bringing Milwaukee to New Jersey" will be held Tuesday, November 19, 2002, at the Brunswick Hilton in East Brunswick Rt18 and the Turnpike. It begins with Lunch at 1PM and workshops all afternoon. They are also having a fundraising dinner. For more information Call 973-286-7791. Tickets are $250. Scholarships are available.

Four Educations, if it is a Catholic School, Coleus.

The diocese had to break relations with the Catholic Schools due to current scandals. So we have 'tuition' PLUS a "Letter of Understanding". The "Letter of Understanding" is an UNwritten $800+ fee we need to contribute to help subsidize lower income students to attend. These lower income students use to receive grants from the diocese. But that relationship is now null and void. So now the parents must meet it.
