We have just returned from NJEA headquarters, where all reps were called together. As you know, one of several bills before the legislature is a tenure reform bill. That bill is moving quickly, and the leaders of NJEA are feeling much pressure to respond to that piece of legislation. As such, NJEA headquarters has asked each regional office to reach out to presidents to explain the direction we are going with this reform.
We know that this is extremely short notice, but as the last series of bills showed, things have a way of moving quickly. The UniServ field reps would like all local presidents to attend an important meeting on Thursday, October 28, at the county office. The meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. and will last no more than one hour. If you are not able to attend this meeting, please send a dependable designee that you feel could report accurately back to you and your members on this most important issue. RSVP to Gale Quinn at gquinn@njea.org or call 856-782-1225. We look forward to seeing each of you and apologize for this short notice.
