Dr. John Crowe said that the Woodbridge School District is handling the problems with new subs employed through an outsourcing firm.
Parents of some Woodbridge students have been expressing doubt about substitute teachers being brought into the district by an outside firm subcontracted for the job. The charges have run the gamut from substitutes who can barely speak English, to subs who have engaged in corporal punishment. Most of the rumors aren't true, and the ones that might be "have been dealt with," said Woodbridge Schools Superintendent John Crowe.

Science Research, which is designed as a three-year program, requires that students design their experiments, …

Colonia Middle School students and staff raised over $5,000 for injured Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand
Eric LeGrand may not be a Colonia Middle School alumnus, but that's a mere technicality. The CMS sixth to eighth graders, who attend school in the Colonia section of Woodbridge where LeGrand graduated from high school in 2008, took the injured Rutgers football player into their hearts Tuesday with a series of fundraisers that netted over $5,000 for his rehabilitation. "It's a wonderful event. The kids and the teachers worked their hearts out for Eric," said CMS Principal Cyndi Lagunovich, who was clearly moved by their efforts. LeGrand, a Rutgers University defensive tackle, suffered a spinal cord injury during a grueling game at the Meadowlands on Oct. 16. The entire school was involved with fundraisers, from the school's home economics …
