Sparta Education Association: Good News for September

SPARTA, NJ – At the board of education meeting, Sparta Education Association President Angela DeLuccia shared good news about the staff and school district.
Good Evening, My name is Angela DeLuccia and I am the very proud president of the Sparta Education Association and Sussex County Education Association. We have almost completed our first month of school. And this marathon is on pace for a record-breaking year.

There are many exciting events in the works and we look forward to sharing those with you next month- including the unveiling of an amazing reading resource for the entire community and an innovative partnership that will most certainly build relationships among our members and the community.

After a month of school, the SEA is very pleased with the successful implementation of the new cell phone policy. Educators at the middle and high school have found this new, clear protocol to be beneficial in so many ways. We have all seen the movie Footloose - and we know nothing good ever comes from complete bans. Whether it’s dancing or cell phones, complete bans for high school students can lead to discipline issues. Responsible use of a personal device is a life skill that will help our students for a future beyond the walls of Sparta High School. The students understand when it is time to focus on academics, they do and when they have free time, they have the autonomy they need to become responsible digital citizens. We are very grateful to have been able to offer our input that created this policy through building level meetings and the IDEAS committee.

Every single member has given their all to the students of this district to ensure that they have the outstanding instruction, unwavering support, and excellent resources to begin their school year. This is especially evident by the US News and World Report “Best Schools” recognition for both Sparta High School and Sparta Middle School. We are excited to continue to grow and succeed together in partnership with the administration, the board, and the community.
