Dear Ann Warhol,

Are you saying you cannot provide the number of Sparta school district employees currently in the NJEA bargaining unit? And that you cannot provide the number of employees who have NJEA dues withheld from their paychecks? Every other school district we have contacted has been able to provide this information. Are you saying that Sparta does not have that information?

Yours sincerely,

Sunlight Policy Center
