Colleagues,
On behalf of the NTU Executive Board and Staff, we want to wish you all a restful Winter Recess. It has already been a difficult year in many ways, and as always, our members wen above and beyond to meet those challenges. Just a few quick updates:
- Contract Survey - We have received around 400 responses to our contract survey. Negotiations are supposed to begin formally in January, and we will be having a membership meeting to update you soon after. If there is one thing you do educationally during your break, FILL OUT THIS SURVEY!
- Upcoming Workshops! On January 16th and 17th we will be holding workshops on the role of paraprofessionals in Special Ed classrooms. We will be sending out more information once we get back from Winter Recess!
- Scholarships – On our website, we have links for our Albert Shanker Scholarship Dinner and the Essex-West Hudson Labor Council’s Scholarships.
- Prudential Center – There are still tickets available on our website for upcoming events at Prudential Center including the Harlem Globetrotters on December 30th and Frozen on
January 4th and 5th.
- Our Holiday Toy and Coat drive were huge successes! Thank you for everyone who contributed! Here is Cristina Balboa from the NTU Staff delivering toys and coats to Newark’s own YMCA.
