Acting Education Commissioner Christopher Cerf found the deal between teachers and the Ramsey school board exceeded a three-year limit on contractsRAMSEY — New Jersey's acting education commissioner has voided a teacher contract in a ruling that could have implications statewide.
Chris Cerf found the deal between teachers and the Ramsey school board exceeded a three-year limit on contracts. The pact included a retroactive payment that covered two years and another agreement for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years.
Cerf said the 2010-11 pact violated the rule that prevents committing future school boards to salary terms.
