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.

Contamination cleanup is expected to take years and cost millions of dollars, according to Chief Administrative Officer Tom Bremer, who on Thursday gave the Board of Finance an update on the undertaking. We just have to go through this painful experience, he said.

The town s most recent fill pile problems began in 2013, when Fairfield hired Julian Development to operate the site and reduce it by 40,000 cubic yards. Instead, the pile tripled in size over three years, and days before the agreement with Julian was set to end, contaminants were discovered on the property.
