Show your support. Come out this Tuesday and let the Board of Education and Jersey City government know we're there and we care.

PCUE - Parents & Communities United for Education


will be holding a RALLY

on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2009, from 12 noon to 1:00 pm, in front of Public School # 11, 886 Bergen Avenue, Jersey City

to highlight the urgent call to graduate ALL our youth/children from high school and provide them with a quality education that prepares them for college and the world of work. The current Jersey City educational policies and practices are not working, as evidenced by the alarming rates of drop-out and failure to obtain a high school diploma ? rates that are crippling the future of too many Jersey City youth.

PCUE will call on the Jersey City Board of Education and the School District Superintendent Dr. Charles Epps to implement bold and innovative actions being proposed by the PCUE?s high school campaign platform. The proposals call on district officials to build genuine partnership with parents and the community, to provide effective student support programs, to support our teachers and school staff, and to upgrade computer technology labs and make them accessible to all students.

PCUE is a grassroots organization of parents, grandparents, and concerned members of the community. It is a chapter of the Statewide Education Organizing Committee of NJ (SEOC). PCUE is a grassroots and direct action organization working to improve Jersey City public schools. Over the course of last year PCUE launched a successful campaign to assure that school officials test all our schools for lead in the drinking water, notify parents and the community of the testing schedule and test results, and provide all public school children with safe water.
