Welcome back to another year devoted to making Essex County a great place to
live, learn, and work. I am very proud to be the president of the Essex County
Education Association and to represent it's nearly 11,000 hard-working and
dedicated educational employees. I have spent my entire life in Essex County as
both a resident of Newark and Bloomfield. As a graduate of Rutgers, Newark, and
a teacher in Livingston, I believe in the power of education as a force for
opportunity and progress. The schools in Essex County certainly live up to that
potential. We have some of the finest schools in the state which attracts families
from around the region and help create communities that invest tremendous
energy and resources into the next generation. We also have schools which are
fighting the achievement gap. They are fighting with persistence and tenacity and,
although against terrible odds, are making headway.
For these reasons, the public school employees in Essex County should be
credited with doing the hard work of nation-building here at home. We help build
the human infrastructure that will serve all of us in the future. However, instead of
credit, over the last few years we have become the target for political and
corporate opportunists who would use the power of money and misinformation to
destroy our public schools in favor of profits. My administration is dedicated to
fighting against those forces and showing the citizens of Essex County that the
work of our members makes Essex County great.
Please join me in this fight. Come to one of our many informative workshops. Join
us at the NJEA Convention in Atlantic City in November. Contact your Legislative
Action person in your building to find out how to get involved in advancing the
causes that are important to our careers and our communities. If you don't know
who your Legislative contact is, then please email us at ECEA@comcast.net and
we will direct you to the right place.
It is my honor to represent you. I thank you for all of the hard work that you do, and I
hope you have a great year.
Anthony Rosamilia, ECEA President
