Abstract	Union City is one of 31 urban school districts in New Jersey known as Abbott districts.

The report is intended to: (1) Inform people in Union City about the status of school improvement efforts and student outcomes; (2) Engage stakeholders in exploring and discussing what is working and what still remains to be done; (3) Develop and put into action a plan to support school improvement; and (4) Establish a system of accountability practices that can be used for years to come. Reported findings are organized by Abbott remedy: preschool, K-12 education, and school facilities construction, presented with accompanying tables and discussion. Appended are: (1) Abbott Indicators List; (2) D istrict and Community Reviewer Letters; (3) List of Abbott Districts; (4) Data Collection and Analysis; (5) Data Sources and Definitions; and (6) Glossary.
