  • It’s war: NJ district now suing teachers over return to classrooms

    NJ 101.5

    February 2, 2021

     

    “One of the factors that most people don’t understand is the lack of available staff to conduct schooling because of how COVID-19 has impacted families and individual staff members across the state,” Richard Bozza, executive director of the New Jersey Association of School Administrators, said.

  • NJ education leaders pushing for federal waiver of school testing requirements

    NJ Spotlight News

    February 2, 2021

     

    NJASA Executive Director Dr. Richard G. Bozza said the group’s argument — and that of a growing list of local superintendents — is that the districts already collect considerable data on students that can be used to pinpoint needs in the face of the pandemic and the loss of instruction time, be it remote or in-person.

  • N.J. education community supports Biden’s school reopening plan, but with some conditions

    NJ.com

    January 25, 2020

     

    “An in-person classroom environment provides the benefits of a socialization process and affords students with the greatest needs, such as limited English or other special needs, the opportunity to reach their full potential,” said Anne Gallagher, spokeswoman for the New Jersey Association of School Administrators.

     

    But, Gallagher pointed out, resources and funding are limited. “Before the new Administration can accomplish this Herculean task, several moving pieces from the worlds of science, health and medicine, education, government, and finances need to be aligned on the same page,” she said.

  • Snow Days Return: NJ Can’t Use Remote Learning After Pandemic

    NJ101.5

    December 16, 2020

     

    Richard Bozza, executive director of the New Jersey Association of School Administrators, said the group has been pushing, since long before the pandemic, for allowing remote-learning days to be an option for districts that would rather not lose a day of instruction due to inclement weather.

     

    With that right, Bozza said, districts will have a better shot at maintaining a reasonable schedule during a snow-heavy winter. Instead of needing to lengthen the school year due to multiple snow days, or shorten breaks, districts can switch to a remote day and keep their schedules in tact.

     

    "If I have built in three inclement weather days that don't adjust my schedule, what happens when a fourth or fifth or six does?" Bozza said. "I think most people would want to take advantage of a virtual day rather than taking what's typically been called a snow day."

     

    Bozza said if he were still a superintendent and virtual days were an alternative to snow days in the future, he'd likely give kids off on the built-in days, then switch to remote learning for future bad-weather days — he believes a number of superintendents would go this route as well.

     

    According to the New Jersey School Boards Association, the vast majority of school districts in the Garden State build snow days into their calendars.

     

    Bozza said the abilities of New Jersey schools to deliver a remote learning day have improved drastically over the past nine months, so the state is much more prepared than in years past to easily convert an in-person day to a remote day in the event of foul weather.

     

    "I think given our experience during this pandemic, we'll have much greater success talking to that point in the next legislative year," Bozza said.
