Parents Greeted at Oakcrest High School with Ongoing Construction and “Practice” Picketing

Oakcrest High School finally opened today, a week after Absegami and Cedar Creek high schools. The multiple delays in the opening of Oakcrest were due to poor administrative planning, according to Stephanie Tarr, president of the 435-member Greater Egg Harbor Regional Education Association. “With all of the construction, there is no way the opening of school should have been moved to before Labor Day,” she said. 

Oakcrest parents dropping off their students were met by an informational “practice” picket line that highlighted the ongoing bargaining crisis in the district. The picketing included a flyer detailing the history of the bargaining crisis and the fact that staff is beginning their second year without a new contract.
