It’s hard to have a discussion about public education in New Jersey without mentioning our state’s teachers union, the New Jersey Education Association. In this ongoing series, NJ Education Report is taking a step back and examining the role the teachers union plays in shaping education for children in the Garden State. Does it elevate our public school system by pressing for fair funding and more support for students? Or does the union’s significant clout and influence come at the expense of better outcomes for under-served students and families? We welcome your thoughts, either in the comment box or your own submissions. Feel free to contact NJ Education Report at info@njedreport.com.
