New Jersey’s public school’s are under attack and Public School Employees and our students are feeling it. Though the Path to (Progress) Poverty is Steve Sweeney’s brainchild, we need to understand that too many of our legislators in Trenton have not prioritized the needs of our Public Schools. Many of us have called, texted, tweeted, posted, petitioned, filled out postcards, met with our representatives, and lobbied. Though there is value in utilizing these tools, we are still at a point where our schools underfunded - leading (in some districts) to job cuts, program cuts, and ballooning class sizes. Our healthcare costs are climbing, our pensions are under attack, and ESPs are not given the basic job protections that we deserve.
Join NJ21United as we answer these questions together:
1. What is the Path to Progress and what are the latest updates?
2. Why are our schools underfunded?
3. What actions are we willing to take to protect our professions and our schools?
4. How do we link our struggles with the struggles of our students?
5. How do we organize ourselves for dramatic action?
This day-long meeting and workshop will take place at the Reformed Church of Highland Park in Highland Park, NJ. The Reformed Church of Highland Park is located at 19 South 2nd Ave., Highland Park, NJ. Parking is free and located on site.
The event will take place from 9 am to 3 pm and includes a light breakfast and lunch. The cost is $8 for Certificated Staff and $4 for ESPs. However, no member will be turned away due to lack of funds.
For further questions, feel free to reach out to NJ21United at nj21united@gmail.com.
