New Jersey paragraph too editorialized[edit]

This one:

"According to a February 2018 editorial in The Star-Ledger, Cerf closed the worst schools, fired the worst principals,e and used a new contract to pay the best teachers more. By the end of his tenure as superintendent, the graduation rate had risen to 77 percent, a 20 percent increase.[30] He was able to improve student's results in state standardized tests and increase the graduation rate while maintaining a balanced budget.[31] Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Cerf were able to end the pugnacious relationship between the city's leaders and state's Department of Education.[32]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.148.202.98 (talk) 21:34, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Archive historic chat?[edit]

This talkpage is a real confused mess, there is no clear timeline, if there is chance to move forward it might be better to archive this and start again from a fresh position? Govindaharihari (talk) 18:46, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Govindaharihari: I think it is too soon for that. I have setup automated archiving at the standard 31 days. That should be suffiecient. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 05:28, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks Govindaharihari (talk) 11:05, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
