Due to the district's neglect in maintaining its oldest buildings and unsafe/unhealthy working <br />conditions, teachers must rely on the union to advocate for staff and students.Trenton Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507600579132715524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-58583062802346085832019-01-09T19:57:53.565-08:002019-01-09T19:57:53.565-08:00In 2006, the graduation rate at Trenton High was 1...In 2006, the graduation rate at Trenton High was 1 in 10 ninth graders made it to graduation. If they have increased that number to 7 of 10 they should be a model. The more interesting statistic in Trenton was pink slipping 50% of the workforce every three years (one day short of tenure) Any changes there? As I recall, the union and boe were equally corrupt on that front. As for funding, every Trenton student that joined Trenton Children's Chorus and stuck with it,also graduated and was accepted by the college of his/her choice. That's because Trenton Children's Chorus doesn't stop working till the job is done.Mrs. King's music studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211235832988015448noreply@blogger.com
