In her superintendent’s report, Signore noted that the school performance reports, based on last year’s NJSLA assessments, had been released and posted on the district’s website. She emphasized the progress made this year, such as expanding efforts to differentiate instruction, developing over 90 units of study for ELA and Math, revamping the sixth-grade science curriculum, and adding tiered support at Holdrum Middle School.

The superintendent also informed attendees about the extensive construction planned for the summer, stating it may be the district’s busiest and most significant construction phase to date. Additionally, she mentioned the June District newsletter would provide a recap of the school year and a preview of initiatives for the following year.

During the meeting, there was a brief discussion about the possibility of developing an air conditioning policy, sparked by a member’s interest in addressing the new systems being installed in the schools. The policy committee was tasked to gather more data on the operational cost and maintenance needs once all three schools are online with air conditioning. This discussion is slated to continue in the fall, with an update expected at the October 15th policy committee meeting.

The meeting also included a reminder about the upcoming River Vale Education Association end-of-year dinner.

The board addressed general resolutions G1 through G7 and business resolutions B1 through B16, approving them all unanimously. Personnel resolutions P1 through P12 were also approved, with a special note on the excitement about welcoming new staff for the next academic year.
