On Tuesday and Wednesday, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten will continue the “ARPStars” tour of various states to highlight ways schools are using American Rescue Plan (ARP) investments to support K-12 students’ recovery from the pandemic. Her tour will include visits to New Jersey’s Princeton and Newark school districts.
Tuesday  morning, Deputy Secretary Marten will visit Princeton High School to see how  the school is using ARP funds to strengthen arts and mental health resources for students, as well as its professional development and coaching for  educators. She will also tour a preschool classroom at Johnson Park Elementary  School, participate in a roundtable discussion with district principals, and discuss tutoring and special programs that provide students learning  opportunities beyond the regular school day, funded by ARP.
On  Tuesday afternoon, she will travel to Newark for a discussion with Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka and leaders of Newark Public Schools, Montclair State University, and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Together, they will discuss a collaborative program that enables the district to strengthen its teacher pipeline byt raining East Side High School students for teaching careers through a dual credit program. The event also will be livestreamed by the district.
On  Wednesday, Deputy Secretary Marten will continue touring Newark schools, with a  visit to Oliver Street School to learn about STEM programs for young girls and to celebrate Women’s History Month. She will conclude the tour by speaking to a  dozen students who are currently in the district’s teacher pipeline program.
These visits are part of Deputy Secretary Marten’s three-day tour of multiple schools to highlight their use of ARP funds. Since President Biden signed the American  Rescue Plan into law one year ago, which included $130 billion to support recovery efforts at K-12 schools, more than 99% of elementary and secondary school students have returned to classrooms for in-person learning.
Each stop will end with a press gaggle. Press interested in covering each event can  RSVP to Press@ed.gov.
