Hall of Fame Dinner – The NTU has put together a special edition of the NTU Bulletin focused on the 2018 Hall of Fame Dinner. Click here. You can also find many more pictures on NTU’s Facebook page.
NTU Legal Update - IMPORTANT! The state has recently passed a bill that ensures that any ALLEGATION of child abuse will follow someone’s career when they look to apply elsewhere. Every week we remind you how important it is to protect yourself. Now your future employment in other Districts can be destroyed if child abuse, neglect or inappropriate sexual conduct has been alleged against you!
End of the Year Evaluations – If you disagree with your Annual Evaluation, it is important to write an appeal to NPS’s Evaluations Office and the Peer Oversight Committee. Email your appeal to evaluations@nps.k12.nj.us.
Make sure you include all evidence you can provide that the evaluation is not an accurate representation of you! NTU has put together some rebuttal tips we hope will assist you in this effort! If you need help on your appeals, reach out to mmaillaro@newarkteachersunion.com and miovino@newarkteachersunion.com.
Also important, IF your personal days or FMLA days are being counted against you on competency 5, LET US KNOW IMMEDIATELY!
If you are already on a CAP and received a Partial Effective or Ineffective on your Annual Evaluation, you may be facing tenure charges! CALL THE NTU IMMEDIATELY!
On Tuesday, the Newark Board of Education approved the calendar for the 2018-2019 school year. These are the calendars as posted on the district's website.
2018-2019 School Calendar (10 month)
2018-2019 School Calendar (12 month)
It is important to remember: under state law the NTU is only allowed to negotiated the number of days each year, not how the district places those days.
