I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of the cuts in state aid. Next,the towns might be told to use all their surplus before getting any money.
A lot of people have already gone through their own surplus and are hanging on for dear life with no cushion to land on.
I really feel bad for all the people at the school that might lose their jobs. I hope some negotiations can be made with the teacher's union. The union has to realize the days of big increases and gold benefits are over. The teachers are going to work harder and the kids are going to suffer if the union doesn't wake up to reality.
I agree with the 11:48 PM poster.
The solution lies in the hands of the teachers' union. Stop the greed and start thinking about the children for a change. You don't have to see your fellow workers laid off if you would only lower your constant demands for more money and expectations of free health care rides. You're in control of the situation. What will it be?
The governor said as much in his speech this afternoon.
RE: Christie's 5% reduction in school aid
Thank god that the school board hasn't settled with teachers' union yet. Now the union can do the right thing and agree to wage and health care concessions to protect their co-workers from layoffs and keep class sizes manageable. Everyone has to lend a hand, even the teachers.
The circumstances aren't so dire if the teachers' union would only follow the lead of the police unions in other municipalities when facing layoffs. They made concessions to keep their fellow officers employed and to keep the community protected.
