A LETTER FROM STEPHANIE HICKEY, CROTON-ON-HUDSON, THE EXAMINER NEWS--CONCERN REGARDING INVOLVEMENT OF TEACHERS UNIONS IN BD OF ED ELECTIONS

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship----in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

As this is a subject of much discussion on assorted pages and forums....

EXAMINER NEWS------FROM STEPHANIE HICKEY, CROTON-ON-HUDSON, THE EXAMINER NEWS--CONCERN REGARDING INVOLVEMENT OF TEACHERS UNIONS IN BD OF ED ELECTIONS

Concern Regarding Involvement of Teachers Unions in Board of Ed Elections
May 28, 2024Examiner Media

As a concerned member of our community, I feel compelled to shed light on a troubling trend that has emerged in our local school board elections. While our school board plays a crucial role in shaping the future of education in our district, recent developments suggest that its integrity may be compromised by undue influence from external parties, particularly the Hendrick Hudson Education Association (HHEA), the teacher’s union.

It’s common knowledge that teachers’ unions have the right to endorse candidates who align with their values and priorities. However, the line between endorsement and overt interference in the electoral process has become increasingly blurred. In the Hendrick Hudson School District, we’ve witnessed the union going beyond mere endorsement to actively funding campaigns, sending out mailers, canvassing door to door and bombarding residents with robo calls in support of certain candidates.

THE LATEST ABOUT THOSE MASKS......

Face masks did not stop the Omicron variant of Covid, a study has found.

The highly infectious Covid variant saw the reintroduction of rules such as mask-wearing, self-isolation, working from home and vaccine passports when it swept across Britain in November 2021.

New research has found that while these measures helped to halt Covid earlier in the pandemic, they had little to no effect on infection rates after Omicron arrived.

The study conducted by the University of East Anglia (UEA) found that face masks in particular were not effective once the first wave of Omicron had passed, although they had previously helped to reduce infection rates. However, the public was forced to wear them again between November 2021 and January 2022 – having already endured a year of face coverings – with the threat of fines up to £6,400. Masks continued to be recommended and could be enforced by businesses until the April. 

The researchers also found that wearing face masks after the first wave of Omicron may have actually increased the risk of children catching Covid during the subsequent waves because they had less immunity.

EXAMINER NEWS---CROTON-HARMON CRUSHES IT, WINS FIRST SECTION 1 TITLE SINCE 1981

Panas, Fox Lane Edged in Finals; Mahopac, P’Ville Edged in Semis--By Ray Gallagher, Examiner Sports Editor @Directrays

PURCHASE – Charismatic Ronald Reagan was restoring order as a legendary president, and Raiders of the Lost Ark was all the rave the last time CROTON-HARMON won a Section 1 baseball title back in 1981. The current players might need to Google the Harrison Ford-featured film to understand just how long ago it was between the time the Tigers hoisted the hardware, but the only thing they cared about was getting back the the Section 1 finals they lost to Albertus Magnus in 2023 and turning the tables on Rye Neck, which they did in Saturday’s 5-3 come-from-behind Section 1 Class B title win at SUNY Purchase Saturday.

NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE--Low paid Croton-Harmon school workers, frustrated by lowball offers from district officials, may seek employment elsewhere

After a long meeting with school officials today, teacher's aides and lunch workers are dismayed that the district still does not want to pay what they consider a living wage.

MICHAEL BALTER---MAY 30, 2024

After a long meeting with school officials today that reportedly produced minimal results, members of Aides of Croton United (ACU) seeking a new and fairer contract may end up seeking new jobs instead.  READ MORE AT Low paid Croton-Harmon school workers, frustrated by lowball offers from district officials, may seek employment elsewhere (substack.com)


As we reported in April, the Croton-Harmon school district compensates its teacher’s aides and food service workers at a lower rate than most surrounding districts. It also saddles them with draconian employment conditions—such as no medical insurance, unpaid lunch breaks, and denying them the right to seek unemployment compensation during the summer—that make it even more difficult for them to survive financially.
