Petition to Keep University Heights Charter School Open & Protect our 16-year Legacy

We, the undersigned Caregivers, Families, Administrative Staff, Teaching Staff and District Office Administrators, ask for your support as we appeal the New Jersey State Department of Education’s decision to revoke University Heights Charter School’s Charter on June 30, 2022. The information contained in Commissioner Allen-McMillian’s report does not reflect the positive growth University Heights Charter School has made over the past two years. Data driven evidence is an essential aspect to the growth of any organization.

Since the appointment of New UHCS Administration & Qualified Staff in 2020, The following has been accomplished:
● Lead school through Pandemic & Continued Instruction
● Zero Harassment, Intimation, and Bully Reports / Safe & Healthy Learning Environments
● Licensed Teaching Staff
● Free Before & After School Care Programs
● Social & Emotional Learning Initiatives for Scholars & Staff
● Free Supplemental Educational Programs for Scholars
● Appointment of Parent Board of Trustees
● Parent Academy Workshops
● Grand Opening of New Junior High School Library
● Literacy Initiative- Summer Reading Kick off Celebration- Free Books for All Scholars

We are asking our families to stand strong with us to protect University Heights Charter School's sixteen year legacy. It is not in the best interest of our 700 scholars who already have been impacted socially and emotionally to bear the cross of Post Pandemic test scores and inherited previous school administration choices. Our scholars deserved the opportunity to show their
growth & talents. UHCS staff work tirelessly “To educate our scholars and support our families.”

PLEASE HELP US SAVE OUR SCHOOL !!!
