Prepared Remarks - Structural, Systemic and Institutional Issues of Race in the Hoboken Public Schools: Hoboken Board of Education Meeting March 13, 2018

Hoboken Board of Education Meeting (March 13, 2018)

On Tuesday, March 13 2018 a former district mother approached the podium at the monthly meeting of the Hoboken Board of Education. She intended to read the initial few paragraphs of the document below into the record. For various reasons concerning the 5 minute limit for public comment, she was not allowed to finish. She asked for more time, was denied by the Board President and eventually police were called to the meeting. Here is the full text which included the small portion that was to be read into the record (first 2 paragraphs).  Specific  issues addressed are structural, systemic and institutional issues of race in the Hoboken Public Schools, disparity between races, and how this is playing out at multiple levels in the district.
