NEWARK — The city’s teachers union is asking the state to remove 11 high-ranking school district administrators from their jobs, alleging in a complaint the employees were illegally hired because they are not certified for their positions.
“We’re looking to have all these people terminated and/or replaced with authentic, certificated or endorsed administrators,” said John M. Abeigon, president of the 4,000-member Newark Teachers Union.
The union said the administrative hires, made in the last year and a half, do not have the required certifications to serve in those roles, according to a request for a declaratory ruling filed with the state Commissioner of Education Thursday. The complaint also seeks to rescind all actions taken by the 11 administrators in the district.
