FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE
Ridgewood NJ, The Board of Education and the REA negotiating teams signed a Memorandum of Agreement at 12:15 AM on September 13, 2016 concluding negotiations on a 3-year contract for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018. Terms of the agreement will be released after the REA members have ratified the contract.
Our long, municipal nightmare is over…
I hear no complaining from the teachers… the BOE must have caved.
I hope not…
Or a new one begins
Please stand up to the teachers. If they are getting what they wanted Ridgewood might as well sign whatever they offer when the next contract is due. If teachers can hold out until they get what they want, they win. Teachers being nasty to the students and refusing to help any with college applications is not only unethical but means they can have any sort of temper tantrum, any sort of meaness, and by being total infants, they win. Please Say It Isn’t So!
Unless you undisputedly know, first hand,that teachers refused to help with college applications ,in reaction to the non contract issue, please keep your malicious comments to yourself!
how much in % did they get
7:00 pm, That has yet to be released to the public. The total % increase needs to be applied across the guide to determine what the new salaries will be. Too many people misunderstand just what the raise actually means to the individual employee. No one automatically gets a full % increase to their gross salary. Instead a scattergram formula is applied to the current guide using the amount the BOE will add to the wage “pot”.. The various levels, based on education level and years of experience then determine what kind of increase will occur. This is an important point residents need to understand.
Blah Blah Blah 1:31Am

How do you think they do it in the private sector.
A pot of $ is allocated and then distributed amongst employees.
The big difference is that in the private (non-union) sector, it is (largely) done on merit – and it is only for 1 year – and there is no guaranteed employment…..
..
4:34 if this is such common knowledge and a regular practice why do so many people believe each and every teacher gets a full percentage wage increase? And why such an obnoxious comment to information being decimated to those less informed then you?
4:34… If you don’t like the deal you’re getting in the private (non-Union) sector why don’t you become a teacher? After all it is a piece of cake job, pays fantastically, requires no accountability and you can keep your job until you die.
@5:38 – I believe you spelled “disseminated” incorrectly. Be cool – stay in school.
Yeah OT, but 5:38pm did spell the difficult word decimated correctly, so give them partial credit.
That said, the fault line between disseminated and decimated (desecrated/defenestrated/demonstrated/Demosthenes?) has the fingerprints of a spellcheck word swap all over it. So you might want to cut 5:38pm a little slack…
Damn spellcheck…I did mean disseminated…. guess I was blinded by the Blah Blah Blah comment …. it made me see red!
