The organization Hoboken Revolt is trying to organize a protest for the January 13th Board of Ed meeting. Read below:Massive Demonstration on January 13 to Stop the Board of Ed Giveaway
Posted by Incognito Smith
"We should be organizing a massive demonstration inside and outside of the Board of Ed next meeting of January 13 and make sure that the media is informed. We must stop this giveaway to teachers that are already making more than enough for their mediocre performance.
There is no way that the property tax payers of this city can afford to give one dollar more to any employee of the municipal gov or the Board of Ed or the County. We were just hit with a 47% tax increase and now they are demanding more? This will definitely put the last nail to the coffin and bankrupt this city.
The Hoboken public schools teachers and administrators (most from out of town) are some of the highest paid in the state already. The NJ average is 53k while the Hoboken teachers are averaging 83K. The Hoboken school district has notoriously performed amongst the worst in the state. Instead of a raise they should be forced to give back 25% of the total they now make which is more than enough and they would still have a decent salary and a job which many Americans don’t have today. They are lucky to have a job with the best benefits like unlimited carryover sick bank, full health insurance, personal days, etc.; in the private sector half of them would not last. They need to face the reality that the city and the country are in financial trouble.
More details about the demonstration will soon follow." ◦
