WITH SPECIAL GUESTS:
Bret Schundler, New Jersey Commissioner of Education
 Since being confirmed as the Commissioner of Education by the New Jersey Senate on March 11, Bret Schundler, in partnership with Governor Chris Christie, has set a bold agenda for New Jersey’s public schools. He has been working with education stakeholders across the state on the Administration’s education toolkit, Race to the Top federal funding and critical budget issues.
Before being appointed New Jersey’s Commissioner of Education, Bret Schundler was the Chief Operating Officer of The King’s College in Manhattan. What he is most famous for, however, is becoming the first Republican since the First World War to be elected the Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey. In 1993, Bret Schundler was re-elected with 69% of the vote, the largest margin of victory for a Mayor in that city’s history. In 1997, he was re-elected in another landslide to become Jersey City’s longest serving Mayor in 50 years.
As Mayor, Bret Schundler’s innovative policies, called a "national model for urban reform" by Time Magazine, tackled Jersey City’s economic crisis and high crime. Indeed, during his tenure, Jersey City enjoyed ten times the job growth of New Jersey's five other largest cities combined and, according to a Harvard University study, led the 100 largest cities in America not only in job growth, but also in poverty reduction.
