CBS New York July 7, 2021 For the first time, we're getting a picture of the pandemic's disruptive toll on learning in New Jersey's largest school district. Community members say they've been asking Newark schools for details for months, only to learn the district had them since January and just never made them public, CBS2's Lisa Rozner reported Tuesday. At the opening of a new youth soccer field, Mayor Ras Baraka said it was crucial to give kids the opportunity to play outside following a pandemic.
