The district would have the option to purchase the building at the end of the agreement at a price yet to be determined, Wilson said. The new Riverfront school would take over an entire block, more than 150,000 square feet, and serve 667 students, district leaders said during the hearing. Envisioned as a four-floor building, the school would include an underground parking garage with approximately 60 parking spaces for staff, an enclosed rooftop playground for students, and pre-K and early childhood learning classrooms, as well as a full gym with locker rooms. The proposed Riverfront Elementary School would add over 650 seats to Newark's East Ward.The district would spend over $1 million a month in rent for the property over 30 years, Wilson added. The state is responsible for building new schools in Newark but the law allows the district to lease property to build a new school, Superintendent Roger León added. The proposal highlights the challenges Newark has with the state when it comes to building new schools. Newark is one of 31 high-poverty school districts in New Jersey that are legally barred from building their own schools. That responsibility lies with the state’s Schools Development Authority but that agency lacks the funding to move forward on projects it has already identified in Newark and other high-poverty districts. Several of the district’s oldest schools are in the East Ward, and require updates to maintain their infrastructure. “We know that our schools are not providing enough seats,” Vereliz Santana, the school board’s co-vice president, said during the hearing. The authority has built nine new schools in the district since 2006, including two in the East Ward: Oliver and South Street schools. Mary Filardo, the executive director for the 21st Century School Fund, a nonprofit organization advocating for the modernization of public school facilities, said the Newark school district is in a “complicated spot” because not only is it trying to maintain old school buildings, but it is also responding to urgent problems like overcrowding through alternate solutions as it waits for the state to construct new buildings. During Wednesday’s hearing, an East Ward-based real estate agent and a former school board candidate were the only people to raise questions about the new proposal. Brendan Da Silva, a Newark based real estate agent said the proposed cost of the lease “seems outlandish.” “The Newark Board of Education should be focused on education, not trying to navigate complex real estate deals without strong, independent oversight,” Da Silva added.Yolanda Johnson, a former school board candidate and education advocate, asked why the district was considering investing in a new school when many of the district’s current schools “are in need of repairing.”During the meeting, Superintendent Roger León noted how the district has been working to repair and maintain existing schools, including those in the East Ward, where the schools are 151 years old on average. Floor plans for the proposed Riverfront Elementary School on display at a Newark Board of Education hearing. Board member David Daughety acknowledged that the East Ward needs a new school to minimize overcrowding, but asked for more transparency about the proposed cost. Board member Kanileah Anderson agreed and asked if the district had compared costs with other developers in the area.After Wilson highlighted the district’s work to replace boilers at Arts High School and Chancellor Elementary School, along with facade repairs at East Side High School, León said, “We’ve already spent $400 million on all district school repairs.”At the end of Wednesday’s hearing, the Newark school board unanimously voted to submit their plans to the New Jersey Department of Education, the state’s local finance board, and the Office of the State Comptroller for approval. If the state approves the plans, the terms of the lease will be finalized and then the school board will hold a final vote on the lease, Board President Hasani Council said. If approved, Riverfront Elementary School would be the second new school in the East Ward since the Newark School of Architecture and Interior Design opened in September through a 30-year, $300 million lease also funded with district dollars. That school opened after a three-year delay, a problem Filardo says is not uncommon in the construction world.“They’re complicated development deals. So districts should anticipate these kinds of problems and build into their contracts and their agreements and their processes, all of the kind of accountability and sort of due diligence,” Filardo added. The SDA has promised to pay to replace Newark’s oldest school buildings, but the work to replace those buildings has not yet started. The SDA receives funding through bonds, direct appropriations, and on a “pay-as-you-go” basis from the state legislature, but would not receive new funding under Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s proposed $60.7 billion budget this year. Senator Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz, a Democrat, introduced a bill in February that could help unlock $10.5 billion to help fund school construction across all New Jersey school districts. If approved, the bill would authorize a November ballot item asking voters to approve new state bonds for school construction, expansions, and renovation projects in all districts. Specifically, the bond would allocate $7 billion for high-poverty districts and $3.5 billion for grants in other districts.

(The Center Square) – The Phoenix City Council voted unanimously Wednesday afternoon to rename Cesar Chavez Day as Farmworkers Day and rename facilities and streets named after the United Farm Workers cofounder. The action followed this week's rapidly growing trend across Arizona and California to remove Chavez's name wherever it appears, following allegations that he raped United Farm Workers cofounder Dolores Huerta and two girls. Chavez was a Yuma, Ariz. native who died in 1993 and cofounded the UFW union. Council members Wednesday also considered a proposal limiting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Phoenix. The council's vote on Chavez came on the same day that an Arizona Senate committee, meeting elsewhere in Phoenix at the Capitol, voted to advance legislation to repeal the holiday on a statewide basis. In addition to the city of Phoenix's decision to rename the holiday, Mayor Kate Gallego said the city will begin a process to remove a plaque honoring Chavez. She added the city will rename its facilities and remove street signs bearing his name. “First, we stand with victims and survivors, as I can’t imagine the courage it took for them to share their truth, and I'm deeply grateful,” said the mayor. “We also stand with the thousands of people whose voices and advocacy built the farmworker movement.” Gallego went on to say that "the actions of one individual do not define their success or their power.” During a public comment period, one resident named Feliciano urged the city to wait and asked why an investigation into the Chavez allegations had not been conducted. “That should be concerning for everyone regardless of politics,” said Feliciano, whose last name was not stated clearly. “In America, we believe in due process," said Feliciano, who went to Cesar Chavez High School in Phoenix. "We don't believe in judgment; we don't rewrite history based on incomplete information.” During her remarks at the meeting, Councilmember Anna Hernandez said American leaders “have a long history of ignoring the experiences of sexual violence that women have faced.” Hernandez added that people need to be held accountable. “As a council member, it is my responsibility to push this city to take action, to find resources for survivors, to find resources to teach men and boys not to be trash,” said Hernandez. “I will be voting yes with the expectation that we are going to take material steps to end sexual and domestic violence against women and girls.” Regarding ICE, city council members considered a Community Transparency Initiative that requires federal law enforcement officers to obtain permission from the city before conducting activities. "All of us are aware of the many civil rights abuses and blatant illegal activity that far too many have experienced” at the hands of ICE, Gallego said, citing Portland and Chicago. She also pointed to Minneapolis, where federal immigration officers killed U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. “Even here in Phoenix,” said the mayor about questionable ICE activities. “It's un-American, it's shameful, it doesn't make us safer, and we have to be prepared if we're next” on ICE’s list. In February, Gallego put an item before the council to begin adopting policies that the mayor said would prepare for a possible escalation of ICE operations. For the last 45 days, the mayor and city council members have been meeting with community members to hear their concerns and ideas. That, said the mayor, has helped city officials end up in a better place. “I think staff has done an excellent job of addressing the priorities we set forth and coming up with a plan to move forward,” said Gallego. “This is not the end of the road on this topic. We're going to remain vigilant and learn and do as much as we can to make sure that ICE agents who violate the law, who are needlessly violent with protesters, will be held to account.” The city council heard from more than a dozen speakers during a time for public comments. One man, whose first name is Rafael but last name wasn't stated clearly, said the United States is made up of immigrants. “ICE treats us like we’re irrelevant beings. It's unacceptable,” said Rafael. “I have no faith, federally, but in you guys I do.” Annette Musa, a member of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce board, thanked city leaders for “working to stay ahead of escalation” should it come to Phoenix. “We look forward to regular reports on this work as well as how the business community can contribute to a safe and prosperous Phoenix,” said Musa.

City Council approved the new development that also will include retail and office space, parking and other amenities.
