>BOE: Teachers and their spouses pose a direct conflict of interest
Teachers and their spouses may be legally permitted to serve on the BOE today. That doesn’t mean that it is a good idea to have people, who directly benefit from certain outcomes from NJEA negotiations that adversely impact taxpayers, involved in the process. Common sense dictates that teachers and their spouses have inherent conflicts of interest (even if they recuse themselves from the direct negotiations) and should not be allowed to serve on the BOE. I will NEVER support a teacher or their spouse in this role.
