From Joseph Del Grosso, President of the Newark Teachers Union:
Dear Senator Rice and Assemblywoman Wagner:
I am writing to you about a serious problem that has persisted in the state-operated district of Newark. Since we came to an agreement on a contract for the teachers, aides, and clerks, we have experienced very serious and disturbing problems regarding the finances of Newark Public Schools…
I would strongly suggest that until we have a comprehensive audit of the district’s finances that the state imposes a moratorium on any new expenditure, as well as any layoffs, and the closing of any Newark schools. The people of Newark have been stripped of their voting rights; they have no voice to correct the rampant, unchecked spending and cutting of essential programs and personnel. You, our elected officials, are our only hope! Please help!! Avoid a sequel to the”Beverly Hall tragedy!”
Sincerely,
Joseph Del Grosso
President
