Camden City Schools Comments on Passage of Urban Hope Act

CAMDEN CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT STATEMENT ON NEW JERSEY STATE ASSEMBLY PASSAGE OF S2264

“Today’s vote is a win for kids. Camden’s students deserve high-quality schools in state-of-the-art facilities, like those in more affluent parts of the state. And as we work to significantly improve our existing district schools, this bill helps us take us a step toward achieving that vision.”

For more on yesterday’s Assembly vote on the Urban Hope Act (yes: 42; no:12), see today’s NJ Spotlight.
