TEACHERS UNION PROTESTS BUDGET CHOICES AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING

About two dozen school district teachers showed up at Monday night's school board meeting to protest budget choices, claiming they are still affected by a lack of substitute teachers and other spending decisions.

Barbara Bracey, a teacher at Tuscan School, spoke for the teachers who appeared under the umbrella of their union, South Orange Maplewood Education Association, and cited several budget decisions, including Let's Talk and merit pay.
