In the email, Nugent is asking for union members for feedback on how the union should present their support behind Binienda.

According to Nugent, he’s received inquiries from many members “asking how and what the EAW plans to do to support [Binienda] and advocate to the School Committee for an additional three year contract for her.”

Nugent ended the email by saying, “We want to motivate the School Committee to issue Superintendent Binienda an additional three year contract.”
