- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Woodbridge School Board addressed a range of topics, with particular emphasis on initiatives aimed at enhancing digital literacy among elementary students and the review of standardized test results.
The Board discussed an upcoming assembly program designed to educate students about the potential long-term impact of their digital footprints. This initiative is seen as a step towards reducing instances of harassment and ensuring students are aware of how their online activities can affect both themselves and others. The program is intended to make students conscious of the permanence of online posts and the immediate and lasting consequences they can have.
Additionally, an overview of the spring 2024 New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJ GPA) results was provided, along with the 2024 ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 report. These assessments help determine graduation readiness and special program placements. The results of these tests, which are important for evaluating student progress and curriculum effectiveness, were sent to parents, and any questions are to be directed to the students’ counselors or teachers.
Other business conducted during the meeting included the approval of a motion to move the October board meeting date, discussions on finance and insurance, and the approval of various personnel items. The Board also approved bids for professional learning consultants and supplemental educational services.
