Mahwah School Board Emphasizes Career Pathways and Student Internship Successes

The Mahwah School Board meeting highlighted the successful placements of students in various internships through the Summer Thunderbird Career and Academic Internship Program. The board also welcomed a new member to the administrative team and discussed the future budgeting for curriculum programs currently funded by federal ARP ESSER funds.

Superintendent Michael DeTuro introduced these signs as a part of the district’s focus on communicating available resources, with individual signs for each career pathway to be displayed as well.

The board also expressed enthusiasm for the student internships offered through the Summer Thunderbird Career and Academic Internship Program. Students were praised for engaging in real-life experiences in fields such as biotech, business administration, engineering, and more. The board took time to acknowledge and thank the local businesses and organizations that hosted these students, emphasizing the importance of these partnerships.

Moreover, the discussion touched upon the budgeting of contracts for Lincoln and Curriculum Associates, which are currently funded by ARP ESSER funds expected to expire soon. A question was raised regarding the continuity of these contracts post-funding, and the board confirmed that plans are in place to incorporate these costs into future budgets responsibly.

Additionally, the board formally welcomed a new business administrator to the team, expressing excitement for future collaborations.

In personnel matters, the board approved various appointments, including that of a new hire for a role significant to the community. A discussion regarding the financial partnership with the township for this position was initiated, with the board awaiting final details from town administrators.
