BOE: Be There
Bored with lackluster City Council meetings?
Forget Watchung Avenue and hike over to Park Avenue to check out the school board action.
Unlike the city side, the current school board agenda is now posted for your reading pleasure.
Learn about all the groups that want to help Plainfield with school supplies – BJ’s Wholesale Club, the Jewish Federation of Central New Jersey, the Hewlett Packard Corporation – and the Rotary Club of Plainfield-North Plainfield’s donation of a student dictionary to every third-grader in the district.
Read about staff development measures, something made more important by the recent state monitoring report.
Did you know that Merrill, Lynch will offer volunteers to improve students’ “financial literacy” to become economically competitive?
There will be social work assistance at no cost to the district and a grant of more than half a million dollars for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program to enrich the experience of both students and parents in the education process.
Sometimes, like those live jazz improvisations I remember from the 1950s, the remarks of top district officials reveal news that otherwise goes unreported. So be there when Board President Patricia Barksdale and Interim Superintendent Peter Carter have their say.
The meeting is 8 p.m. in the Plainfield High School Conference Room, 950 Park Ave., Plainfield.
