(the Trust) was incorporated in the state of New Jersey as a not-for profit organization on August 23, 2002. Effective December 12, 2011, the organization registered a legal name change from Newark Public Schools Foundation, Inc. to Newark Trust for Education, Inc. The Trust is an independent non-profit dedicated to coordinating and focusing ideas, people, and resources on the efficient and effective delivery of a quality public education to all children in Newark; and to creating broad and shared accountability for student success across multiple stakeholders. The Trust envisions a public education infrastructure that leverages the wide array of opportunities available to the young people of Newark, effectively creating positive conditions for learning that help young people meet rigorous academic outcomes, develop strong socio-emotional skills, and have access to high-quality post-secondary options. To accomplish its mission the Trust leads initiatives and partners with stakeholders in the following areas: Partner to Improve Learning At Newark Trust for Education, Inc., we believe that partnerships between schools, families and community members are critical in developing effective learning opportunities and improving student outcomes. The Trust's Partnering to Improve Learning Initiative includes the ALI Parent Workshop Series, South Ward Community Schools Initiative (SWCSI), and the Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP). Design Safe and Supportive Schools The Trust believes that schools must create and sustain the conditions that support students' mental, physical and emotional wellbeing for effective learning to take place.

In light of the city's transition to local control we are exploring potential strategies to support residents knowledge acquisition about the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Education. The goal is to increase positive participation in School Board meetings and increase the pool of residents interested in serving on Newark's Board of Education. Another element to developing effective, efficient and responsive systems is the identification of partners with which to collaborate as we work to develop, build and promote the use of a citywide data system (data warehouse and case management system).

Through targeted investments the Funders Collaborative is committed to creating safe, supportive and effective schools that address the multidimensional needs of students. A primary component of this work is to empower school leaders and principals to advocate for change at the district and city level in order to support our students effectively. With mental health services and social emotional support for students and staff identified among the most common needs of school leaders in Newark, the Funders Collaborative allocates resources towards school-wide approaches to strengthening and improving social-emotional learning programs and trauma-informed services. Programmatic areas supported by the Funders Collaborative include: Professional Development and Staff Training on best practices in SELf implementation, trauma-informed care approaches, and data collection and evaluation; Direct Mental Health Services; School Climate and Culture initiatives with an emphasis on establishing healthy and supportive learning environments; and Classroom Instruction and Strategies based on behavioral health and social-emotional learning. In addition to grant awards the Funders Collaborative provides school leaders with the opportunity to receive technical assistance, encourage innovation and facilitate shared learning with peers through collaborative convening, and create strategic networks with stakeholders across the city. Moving forward the Governance Committee will function as a representative sample of funders who meet with the Trust to advise the process, review applications and make recommendations for funding. NTE will make final determinations on the allocation of grant awards in addition to other administrative functions.
