BREAKING NEWS:CIVIL RIGHT ACTIVISTS, CLERGY AND POLITICIANS TO ATTEND SCHOOL BOARD MEETING TO CALL FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS' RESIGNATION DUE TO MISCONDUCT

Local civil rights activists, clergy and politicians will attend a school board meeting to call for the resignation of Dr. Joseph A. Massare and administrative officials of the Penns Grove Carneys Point Regional School district due to misconduct. 

This issue arose after three female employees formally advised Dr. Massare of their fear of working under Tom Sullivan, Director of Special Education.  One employee wrote, "I am in fear of my safety and I am uncomfortable returning to work with Tom Sullivan.  Another victim is pregnant.  The third victim also expressed her fear of working with Mr. Sullivan.  Dr. Massare heard their outcry but refused to act; instead he returned them back to work in this hostile environment.

Walter Hudson, as Chairman of The National Awareness Alliance, will stand with these three women and community leaders to voice their concerns at a School Board meeting being held on July 16, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Penns Grove Carneys Point Administrative District Building, 100 Iona Avenue, Penns Grove, NJ.   Also attending will be Rev. Dr. Edward Dorn, 2nd Baptist Church of Pedricktown, NJ; Pastors & Ministers of Shiloh Baptist Church of Penns Grove; Mayor John Washington and Councilman Carl Washington Jr.

The community and its leaders are outraged by this incident.  Mr. Hudson explains that "What has happened to three women at the PG-CP School District is no different than what happened at Penn State University with Joe Paterno and Sandusky. Dr. Massare must be held accountable as well as Tom Sullivan.  Everybody has the right to blow the whistle on misconduct under the "Whistle Blower Act," that’s what the employees involved have done, I applaud them for it and the National Awareness Alliance will stand with those involved and advocate for their rights.”

Mayor John Washington insists that, "This type of action will not be tolerated in our community."

Councilman Carl Washington Jr. stated "I think this is sad of what the employees and the community is going through right now, we cannot even deal with educational issues because we have to deal with leadership misconduct; we will get to the bottom of this."

The public is encouraged to come out and stand with these women and community representatives to ensure that they receive the justice that is due them in this unfortunate situation.
