Re: RIFs/Non Renewals/C.LA.P.
Date: May 5, 2009
The Cowell Lowell Attack Plan (C.L.A.P.) is spreading throughout OUR district. Mr. Parham has made it public record at last week’s Board meeting that they WILL OUTSOURCE most of our remaining support staff; such as ALL SECURITY GUARDS, CUSTODIAL AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES within OUR school district. This simply put, the C.L.A.P. is imminent.
Cowell and Lowell, through our Acting Superintendent, Parham, are dissecting this district piece by piece. You MUST stand by your Executive Committee on Thursday, where the C.L.A.P. continues with drastic staff cuts. We are STRONGLY URGING EVERY MEMBER TO ATTEND THE BOE MEETING AT BRADLEY ELEMENTARY AT 6:30PM.
We will meet in front of Bradley Elementary between 5:15 and 5:30pm to show OUR solidarity and strong opposition to the C.L.A.P. You must urge all your friends, neighbors, community members, parents and clergy to attend this meeting and stand by US. We are the true, real educators and support staff that this community needs. It is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY that you attend the BOE meeting on Thursday evening to support ALL APEA members.
YOU MUST ATTEND THURSDAY’S BOE MEETING TO EXPRESS STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
ASBURY PARK SCHOOL SYSTEM.
