| CLIFTON TEACHERS ASSOCIATION 1135 CLIFTON AVENUE CLIFTON, NEW JERSEY 07013-3642 973-773-0266 To: CTA Building Representatives From: Frank P. Gengaro, Ph.D, MSW, MA, LCSW, SI, TM, TM, TL, TMC President - Clifton Teachers Association Re: DYFS Alert! Date: September 5, 2006 Please distribute this DYFS ALERT memo to members of your faculty. Furthermore, please inform them that should they get implicated in a potential DYFS matter, they should contact the following people: Local Association: Frank P. Gengaro - WWMS Phone Number - 973-470-2400 NJEA Uniserv Office: John Ropars - Phone Number - 973-694-0154 When you distribute this memo, I urge you to stress to your faculty that they SHOULD NEITHER SPEAK TO ANYONE, NOR PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING! All too often, in our attempt to let our story be told, we unwittingly place ourselves in greater risk. In addition to this, remember that any dialogue between the accused individual and any other person(s) can result in those individuals becoming a witness during the investigation. Members need to be advised that they are under no obligation to answer any questions regarding the incident until appropriate representation has been secured. If there are any questions about this, please contact me for further clarification. Thanking you in advance for your continued support of the CTA. c: CTA Executive Board CTA Building Representatives Frances Chiarelli, CTA Corresponding Secretary John Ropars, NJEA Uniserve Representative file |
