Restoration of the Democratic process to the Asbury Park Board of Education: We support the decis...

Petition Asbury Park Chapter of the National Action Network -To be delivered to David Hespe, Commissioner of Education - New Jersey Department of Education
On October 16, 2013 the elected school board members of the Asbury Park Board of Education, voted by majority to hire Gregory Allen as the Superintendent of Schools. On November 13, 2013 the state monitor Carole Morris, over turned the vote of an elected school board majority. Ms. Carole Morris has denied the democratically elected Asbury Park Board Of Education there legal right to provide leadership for the governance of the district. The Asbury Park Chapter of the National Action Network is asking you to sign our petition to Commissioner Hespe., to overturn the decision of Carole Morris and uphold the vote of the elected Board of Education of Asbury Park to hire Gregory Allen as the Superintendent of Schools. We find the actions of Ms. Carole Morris discriminatory in nature based on a personal political agenda and do not believe she would have overturned the decision of a predominately Caucasian school board majority. We support the democratic process and the vote of an elected school board majority to hire Gregory Allen as the Superintendent of Schools in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
