SUPERINTENDENT’S REMARKS
Dr. Durán thanked all of tonight’s speakers for expressing their thoughts, and he stated that
their voices have been heard. He said that everyone must work together to address the
budget challenges, which are many. The Superintendent said the District does not
receiving the State funding it should, and the payments to charter schools have greatly

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
Dr. Rosenbaum reminded everyone that the last time the Board voted against privatization,
the State Monitor overruled their decision. She also asked everyone to vote and have their
voice heard at the State House.
Dr. Graham stated that tonight’s discourse was spirited, and he appreciated the passion
expressed for the students. He wished everyone to know that he chooses to live in Trenton
and that, although he has no children in the schools, he serves on the Board to help create
a school system that he would want his children to attend. He stated that when it is time to
make a decision about the budget, he asks that everyone be informed and have had their
chance to be heard so that the decision is made together. Dr. Graham said the Board does
not make their decisions lightly, they live in the City, and they care about the students.
Mr. Truehart said it has been a very difficult night, and the opening and closing of charter
schools creates havoc with the budget. He said he appreciates everyone’s concerns, and
he asked everyone to be united in the endeavor to provide the best services to our
students. He also stated that parents need reasons to keep their children in Trenton Public
Schools, and they should be made aware that the graduation rate is increasing and that
some of the schools may come out of Priority and Focus status.
Ms. Gussin expressed appreciation for all the comments this evening. She said that
although she has no children, she serves on the Board because she believes in public
education in Trenton. She stated that she has two cousins who are doing very well in the
District’s schools, thanks to the efforts of the teachers and administrators. She said the
decision the Board must make will be very difficult, but they have taken the time to make it
a holistic approach.
Ms. Vandenberg thanked everyone for their comments. She said that as a new Board
Member, it helped her to get a richer and deeper understanding of the challenges being
faced and the work done by all District staff. She said that everyone should be mindful that
the issues being faced are greater than at the District level, that it is a State level policy
problem.
