A message from our President....

December 2011

Traditionally at this time of year, the Association prepares a holiday wish
list. Our wishes fall into several categories:

Since negotiations is an extremely important undertaking for our
district, the Association wishes:

• that the Board and the Association continue to work cooperativley
  to craft an agreement that will ensure the continued success of our
  school district;
• that the countless expressions of praise and thanks be translated
  into a substantive agreement that recognized the value of all our
  members who work diligently to maintain this district's exemplary
  reputation;
• that a successor settlement be reached before June 30, 2012.

Since the quality of public education drives the successes and value of our
community and the majority of New Jersey's communities,
the Association wishes:

• that the Governor understands that public schools and communities
  statewide still suffer the burden of reduction of services and financial
  distress resulting from the shortfall of state aide since 2010;
• that our state leaders who support charter schools demand greater
  accountability standards; that proponents of school vouchers ensure
  financial transparency and not profiteering from the use of public funds;
• that the Governor and legislators realize that sound education reform
  should be comprehensive and progressive, and not reform that is purely
  ambitious and hastily enacted;
• that the members of the East Brunswick community continue their support
  of excellence in our schools by again voting "yes" for the school budget.

Since a positive and productive work environment is so essential,
the Association wishes:

• that staff concerns about instructional climate and morale improve in
  the upcoming months;
• that work related stress for many of our members be reduced;
• and finally, that members enjoy time for themselves and their families
  throughout this holiday season.

Wishing you peace, good health and happiness this season and throughout the New Year.

Ruth Davitt,
EBEA President
