Governor Murphy faces a New Jersey where state aid remains underfunded, where the impacts on classrooms of standards reform and the PARCC examinations are still significant, and where recruitment of new teachers has
suffered along with teacher morale.
CEA's Brady told the State Board that Curiale, like other schools in Bridgeport, has
suffered from a severe lack of resources and instructional material and many
teachers are excited about the state assistance, upwards of $ 1 million,
along with help from UConn's School of Education and social service agencies, that comes
with being in the Commissioner's Network.
