SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ The Middlesex County Association of School Administrators joined their counterparts from neighboring school districts in urging Gov. Phil Murphy to prioritize vaccinating teachers and school staff.
The association said it was compelled to write to Murphy as they felt school staff and faculty were not being administered the with COVID-19 vaccine fast enough, to allow schools to provide students with a safe learning environment. It is apparent that many states have enacted aggressive educator vaccination strategies. Middlesex educational leaders are here to support your likely commitment to do the same.

Over the many months of the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve heard a consistent message from the governor’s office: New Jersey public schools should be open, if they can safely be open.
Yet, we’ve also heard this contrary message: Teachers, as well as others who work in New Jersey’s public schools, are not a priority for the COVID vaccine.
Adding to that mixed message is the quandary facing the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey, as well as other public school districts serving students with severe disabilities. We are asked to work with the most medically fragile population in a face-to-face setting, yet we are still not warranted any priority status for vaccine.

The Educational Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ), the largest educational service commission in the state, announced the appointment of three new members to its Board of Directors: Dr. Gina Villani, Dr. Bernard Bragen, Jr. and Brian Glassberg.
âWe are fortunate to have a very proactive board that is fully committed to serving students with severe disabilities and behavioral challenges,â ESCNJ Schools Superintendent Mark Finkelstein said in a prepared statement. âAs we navigate through this lingering pandemic and push for in-school instruction as much as possible, we need the input of educational leaders and innovators. Our three new board members are ideal in this realm and we warmly welcome them to help chart our future.â
A new, three-year contract for the administering of a long-standing program by the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey could stand to save schools in the Garden State more than 50% on internet access.
