When: Thursday, June 7th, 10 AM
Where: Noor-Ul-Iman School, 4137 US-1, Monmouth Junction, NJ 08852
What: Press conference for School Security Funding Parity
Who: Jewish, Catholic, and Islamic nonpublic school advocates from New Jersey
Advocates from a coalition of faith communities will call on the New Jersey State Legislature and Governor Murphy for fair funding for school security, by providing the same level of funding allocated to public schools for security costs. This is particularly crucial for nonpublic schools that serve populations that face increased security risks.
School, religious and student leaders and legislators will be in attendance, including:
Dr. George Corwell, Director – Office of Education, New Jersey Catholic Conference
Mrs. Eman Arafa, Head of School, Noor-Ul-Iman School, Monmouth Junction, NJ
Rabbi Josh Einzig, Assistant Principal, Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva, Edison, NJ
Josh Caplan, Executive Director – Teach NJS
Teach NJS works with a coalition of New Jersey schools, houses of worship, and community members dedicated to securing New Jersey state government support, to ensure that nonpublic schools are safe and sustainable. Teach NJS is part of the national Teach Advocacy Network.
