THE CROTON CHRONICLE: A SHORT MARCH BY SCHOOL WORKERS TO CROTON-HARMON DISTRICT HQ TODAY CAPS A LONG MARCH FOR BETTER PAY AND CONDITIONS

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.

THE CROTON CHRONICLE

A short march by school workers to Croton-Harmon district HQ today caps a long march for better pay and conditions.


This afternoon, June 11, is the final planned round of negotiations between Aides of Croton United (ACU) and Croton-Harmon school district officials.

Just before 3 pm today, June 11, about 20 members of Aides of Croton United (ACU), which represents some 65 low-paid school workers in the Croton-Harmon district, took a short walk from Carrie E. Tomkins Elementary School (CET) to school district headquarters, where this afternoon their leaders will conclude negotiations with the superintendent and other officials.

The march was possible because CET is right across a lawn from district HQ. Nevertheless, ACU represents school workers (teacher’s aides and lunch workers) at all three of the district’s schools, and their movement has been remarkably solid. We should soon know whether their campaign for better pay and conditions, which has generated wide support across the Croton community, will pay off.

We will update this story as soon as possible.

DEPRAVED INSANITY, ANTI ISRAEL MOB CHANTING "LONG LIVE INTIFADA", LIGHT FLAGS, AND MORE AT NYC EXHIBIT THAT MEMORAILIZES OCT. 7 NOVA MUSIC FESTIVAL VICTIMS

WARNING: disturbing video, photos......A mob of anti-Israel protesters chanted “Long Live the Intifada” during a depraved celebration Monday night outside a downtown Manhattan exhibit that memorializes the murder and rape victims of the Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival where 364 people were killed by Hamas terrorists.

The deranged pro-terror crowd lit flares and waved a flag associated with the Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah in front of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street during what was billed by organizers as a “citywide day of rage for Gaza,” according to video from the scene.
