STAFFORD — A school nurse who refused to wear her mask in school will be looking for a new job after she said the Board of Education voted to not renew her contract for the next school year and to continue her suspension without pay.
After watching elementary and middle school students struggle with headaches and stomach aches after wearing masks all day in school and not taking proper care of them, Erin Pein said she told school officials in April that she could no longer enforce the mask mandate or wear one herself.

Pein said she received an email from Superintendent George Chidiac on Tuesday informing her of the board's decision. Chidiac on Wednesday morning did not respond to New Jersey 101.5's request for the final vote tally.
