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!

NTU Executive Board meets with new Superintendent!

For the first time in over two decades in Newark we have an officially elected Superintendent of Schools. There can be no greater demonstration that the vestiges of State Control are soon gone than having the district led by someone that was born in Newark, went to Newark Public Schools, was a substitute teacher in Newark Public Schools, became a teacher, a principal an administrator, in the Newark Public Schools.

Superintendent Roger Leon took time out of his busy schedule to meet with the NTU

Miscellaneous End of the Year Pay Questions

How many days will be I be paid for on the last day of school?

NPS sent out a memo about the last pay check of the year.

All full time NTU members will be getting a ten day check on Friday, June 15, and a ONE DAY CHECK on Wednesday, June 20. That last check will be direct deposit.

Per-Diems will be paid on their normal bi-weekly pay schedule.

When will I get my Escrow check(s)?

Single check option: June 15^th

4 check option: July 13, 27; August 10, 24^th
