NJ-SP School Corporation Closed on 11/19


From Dr. Annette Zupin, Superintendent of NJ-SP School Corporation: 

"North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation has made the decision to close on November 19, 2019 in order for our educators to attend the Red for Ed Action Day in Indianapolis.  This day will be made up on Monday, February 17th (President’s Day).

The reason for the cancellation is that November 19th is an important day for educators across the state of Indiana.  Many of our teachers will join thousands of other Indiana educators in a rally at the state house to fight for our students.  Inadequate financing, excessive standardized tests of very high expectations and shortage of teachers have been the results of laws that the Indiana General Assembly has approved.  Teachers have worked tirelessly for many years to fight these problems, but we have not been heard.

The decision to close was made for two main reasons:  1) not enough substitute teachers to fill the vacancies created by teachers taking personal days to attend the rally.  2) I support our teachers attending the rally and advocating for our profession.

You can find more information about the “Red for Ed” Rally at  https://www.ista-in.org/invest-in-education.  Thank you in advance for your support."
