If you’re not feeling bombarded on the issue, please read NJEdReport’s take on the Star-Ledger‘s editorial on NJEA Executive Director Ed Richardson making $2.5 million in 2019.  NJEdReport’s perspective is always worth considering.Read More

Once again, thanks to NJEdReport for amplifying Sunlight’s research.  Of course, to New Jersey’s establishment media, the fact that NJEA Executive Director Ed Richardson was paid $2.5 million in 2019 isn’t news.  It’s OK for New Jersey teachers, whose average salary was $76,000 in 2019, to have their highest-in-the-nation dues make Richardson a multi-millionaire.  And…Read More

Thank goodness that unlike some other media outlets in New Jersey nj.com  is willing to publish opinions that challenge New Jersey’s public school status quo.  In response to a teacher shortage, Sunlight asks whether New Jersey’s public school system represents an appealing job opportunity for today’s young college grads.  They value mobility and flexibility, but our…Read More

Thanks to NJEdReport augmenting and amplifying Sunlight’s latest research on New Jersey’s teacher shortage.  NJEdReport ties in other elements – such as New Jersey Policy Perspective’s Mark Weber’s pro-NJEA prescriptions and its own work on the subject – to provide an even broader view of the subject.  It’s always worth reading NJEdReport’s take on things.Read More

As usual, NJEdReport has added to and improved upon Sunlight’s work.  As usual, we appreciate NJEdReport helping to spread the truth about Mark Weber and NJPP.  Too bad the New Jersey media takes Weber at face value.Read More

Sunlight is forced to admit that NJEdReport’s take is more readable than Sunlight’s own report! Thank you, NJEdReport!Read More

Once again, thanks to NJEdReport for amplifying Sunlight’s blog on a Harvard study that showed that New Jersey had among the most school closures and that minority kids suffered the most.  Remember that in towns like Montclair and Newark, the teachers unions fought – and even boycotted – the opening of schools.Read More

Thanks to NJEdReport for reposting Sunlight’s blog on the special-interest revolving door from the NJEA to Gov. Murphy’s administration back to the NJEA.  (Of course it was NJEdReport’s reporting that alerted us to the move in the first place.) Cornavaca wins, the NJEA wins, Murphy wins, but what about ordinary New Jersey citizens?Read More

Thanks once again to NJEdReport‘s boosting Sunlight’s work.  Sunlight hopes that NJEdReport readers will take a moment to look at our short blog.  The NJEA proudly and brazenly boasts of its influence over our governor and the quid pro quo relationship they have.  New Jersey under Murphy: by and for the special interests.Read More

Thanks to NJEdReport for commenting on Sunlight’s recent piece reminding Gov. Murphy that before he goes off running for president, there is a whole lot of unfinished business in New Jersey.  NJEdReport dies its usual excellent job of summarizing and highlighting the salient points.Read More
