Is EPSD Really Firing ALL of the African American Employees?

Rumor is they are trying to cut down on that 

reported $23,000.00 a year per pupil cost by 

firing the rest of the African 

American employees in the district. 


Hello out there! 

Is there any truth to this rumor? 

A lot of people are worried. 


Oh, I forgot, that is your objective. 

Calm down Englewood residents. 

There is a process that must be followed 

when letting people go. 

Do not allow this board to 

rally you 

up in one of their made up 

causes or hissy fits. 


The fact remains that 

they are the only

ones who can fix the mess 

that they have made. 

They also know how to fix it. 

They want you warring with the state of New 

Jersey and with the Teacher's Union. 


I am not a big fan of the state, and I have a 

bone to pick with the Teacher's union, but I

have been watching this little scenario 

unravel. 


Our Board is a run away train.


Did Dr. Carlisle really fire 

Everyone and go off on a trip to the 

Dominican Republic? 

If there is any justice in

the world, 

He has been fired.

The Real Per Pupil Cost!

Remember this post when people complain about how much money is spent to educate the children of Englewood. This might even answer the question of why there is never enough paper, books, or even curriculum. The Board agendas are loaded down with Staff Development Workshops. I would like to see the fruit of those work sessions. At least a product is created at the end of curriculum workshops.

Voters and taxpayers should pay careful attention to what is included in the per student cost when determining the actual amount spent to educate children in their districts. The formula recently changed. Every district's per pupil cost is changing. Does this mean that the per pupil cost for Englewood will now be $30,000.00 per pupil?

"Specifically, the Department added the following expenditures to arrive at the total spending number: transportation, special revenues, pension and benefits paid by the state, facilities (including debt service), equipment, total food services, judgments against the school district, and tuition/costs for students sent out of district (except payments to Charter schools). Consistent with the decision to include tuition for students sent out of district, the associated students are added to the enrollment denominator."

Do you follow that when folks sue the school board that amount is added into the cost per student? No one is factoring this into the equation here in Englewood. We have been sued and lost many a litigation in the past 2 years. Is everyone paying attention now?

Suggestion Box EPSD: Registration

Dr. Carlisle and Staff,

Please tell Englewood parents and parents new to Englewood where to register for school. They really do need to know.

Englewood Residents: Register your children for school year 2012 - 2013 at Grieco School.  ‎80 Durie Avenue across the street from Winton White Stadiium. The Registrar is a bit gruff. Do not allow her to deter you. Make sure you have all of your ID, several proofs of residence and the child's birth certificate, because they do not make it easy for you.

Stop Whimpering And Fight with The Power of Your Vote!

Englewood Residents, Secretaries and Paraprofessionals: 

Please stop panicking. All is not lost. You are not a victim. Unemployment will pay you more than Delta T. If you despair you will do exactly what this corrupt Board of Education wants. Now is the time to sit down and do some reading and stop waiting for others to do it for you.

The Board is wrong and steeped in lies and we have the documentation. They are trying to cover for themselves. Do not beg them. Stand up for yourself and the children that you serve. I have listened to the testimonials of the many parents long before you became frightened and started to attend board meetings. The parents of the children you nurtured spoke up for you. They do not want strangers with their children.

It is time now for the real work to begin. No one said it would be easy. They are depending on you to run away and lick your wounds in fear. They have lied and cheated to more than you. Now it is time for you to burn up the phone lines with calls to state senators, legislators, the Education Law Center, the Governor, Commissioner Cerf, The US Department of civil rights and you name it. Write some letters.

Making a stand is not easy. You are not alone. Become part of your own salvation. File for unemployment and get ready for the battle of your lives. The whole country is filled with people just like you. The few who have been bought in the dark offices and conference rooms only appear to have gained something.

Come to the Board meeting tonight armed with your vote. We have not been defeated. The enemy has simply been revealed for all to see. The war has only just begun.

Become part of the struggle so that you may enjoy the triumph without shame.
