The student representative report, delivered by Megan DeGorio, detailed several positive developments for the high school. The 40-minute lunch period has been well-received, allowing students to enjoy each other’s company and explore new food options, including fresh local produce and themed menus.

Keansburg High School has also expanded its sports programs. For the first time, the school is offering boys’ soccer, and the field hockey team has combined with Keyport. These changes aim to provide more opportunities for student-athletes. Additionally, the girls’ tennis team recently celebrated its first win since 2019.

The School Board discussed enhancements to school facilities. Updates include new windows, HVAC systems, furniture, paint, signage, and scoreboards, particularly at the high school and Bolger Middle School. These modernizations are expected to improve the learning environment and overall student experience.

The Board also reviewed committee reports. The curriculum report emphasized new mental health and trauma-informed practices for teachers and administrators, as well as additional support for English Language Learners (ELL). New courses have been added to the curriculum.

In other business, the Board approved several personnel actions, including resignations, new hires, and leave of absence requests. The meeting also featured the approval of financial items such as bills, out-of-district tuition agreements, and shared service agreements.
