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.
Give vaccine priority to this group of N.J. teachers | Letters

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
Volunteers needed to help seniors get shots
Luzerne County Cares Commission is calling on drivers to transport seniors in need to COVID-19 vaccination sites when they open. Author: Amanda Eustice (WNEP) Updated: 5:06 PM EST January 19, 2021
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. If you drive and want to help those most vulnerable get to a COVID-19 vaccination site, the Luzerne County Cares Commission is looking for you.
Last week, the Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency and the commission came together to create a volunteer list of those who would be interested in driving senior citizens to and from vaccination sites. We know that not everybody has accessible rides, and people may be afraid to leave the house, so we just want to make it easier for them to get their vaccines and hopefully make the community a little bit safer, said Matthew Vough, a member of the Luzerne County Council.
