Letter from President - Summer 2018

On behalf of the NTU Executive Board and myself, we want to wish you all a restful, Blessed and safe summer, because we’re going to need you at your best when we get back.

I know that for many of you there are still plenty of responsibilities over the summer: taking care of parents, children, p/t jobs, etc. But we need you rested when you come back, so sleep as often as you can, nap, then sleep again.

Schools Closing at 1 PM on Monday, June 18

Yesterday, NTU reached out to Newark Public Schools about a possible early closing today because of the expected high temperatures. We are happy to report that this morning NPS informed us:

"Due to extreme heat, NPS students will be dismissed early at 1pm today, June 18th. All after-school activities at NPS facilities are cancelled. School staff will remain on-site until students have identified a safe passage home. All NPS graduations will proceed as scheduled."

Thank you for hard work you do!

RED ALERT!

This Monday, the New Jersey Assembly and Senate budget committees will vote on A4098 and S2660, legislation that uses taxpayer dollars to pay for private and religious school teachers.

Please CLICK HERE to let your legislators know that you do not want your tax dollars funding unaccountable private and religious schools, especially when many of our public schools are laying off teachers and cutting programs because of years of underfunding.

Please contact your legislators right now to let them know that public dollars should only fund public schools!
