On behalf of the Newark Board of Education, faculty, and staff, I wish to express our deepest condolences to the Gibson family. Mayor Gibson was a champion for our city and schools. His advocacy for civil rights and quality schools paved the way for a brighter Newark. We will forever be indebted to his service.
Superintendent Roger León
