The district also noted some schools still have some safety issues with the school ground entrances.

Schools report a smooth start to classes.
The only hangup in today's launch of classes for Warren schools was one that was predictable. "All went smoothly—typically, our buses take a little longer on the first two days, mostly due to delays for picture-taking at bus stops," Superintendent Tami Crader said. "Today was no exception, but overall, school started on time." At ALT, Alexandra and Maya Demola posed while their mom, Jaime, snapped a picture of their first day in front of the school. Demola said it was a big day for kindergartner Maya—and there to greet her was Prinicpal Kathy Bond. Bond greeted her returning students at the door and directed parents to classrooms and the school office. She said it was good to have the students back, a sentiment other school staff members …

Frustrated with lack of progress, some are wondering if the municipal government can intercede.
Township Committee members report hearing from parents frustrated over the lack of a settlement between the Warren Township Board of Education and the district's education association. "The frequency of parents calling us is growing every day," Deputy Mayor Vic Sordillo said. "We're hearing from people in the street, wanting to know what we can do, which is pretty limited." Other than add public pressure on negotiators, there isn't anything the committee members can do, and Sordillo said the committee may have some public discussions about the negotiations in upcoming meetings. The district and the WTEA have been in talks since before the expiration of the last contract on June 20, 2010. A state-appointed fact-finder was called in to help …
