Members of the Mary J. Donohoe (MJD) Community School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) feel they have been misled by the current administration in their attempts to run for leadership positions in the recent election. One member claims it is due to the color of their skin.
The current PTA administration defended the election, and denied allegations of misleading members of color. MJD is at 25 East 5th St. in Bayonne.
Feeling misled
In an interview with the
Bayonne Community News, Valerie Ndiaye, a teacher and parent of a child at MJD, said it started two years ago. An active member of the PTA, Ndiaye said that she ran for a leadership position.
