The mission of the Glassboro Public School District Educational Technology Committee is to provide our students with robust digital learning experiences that support the existing curriculum. The infusion of instructional technology requires the deliberate selection and pairing of goals and digital tools based on the latest research to enable our students to thrive in a constantly evolving technological landscape. The committee will design and deliver professional learning opportunities for staff to help our students become empowered learners, digital citizens, creative communicators, and global collaborators.

 

To continue to provide high quality nursing care, with an increased cultural sensitivity awareness, as we work to support the physical and social-emotional, and emergency needs of our school community and to ensure ongoing physical and emotional health and safety in our schools.

 

This year’s committee goal is to foster lifelong scientific inquiry in students. 

Three objectives that will help achieve the above goal are: 

1- Students will identify a topic of interest and develop a model explaining this topic/concept.

3- The committee will continue to maintain a Science Fair webpage to provide assistance to students in the process. 

4- Students will participate in a live Science Fair for the 2026-2027 school year.

We want to ensure that linguistically diverse students receive rigorous curriculum standards and achieve high levels of academic success by providing access to quality education. We will continually strive for excellence in all aspects of the education process and teach our students to understand and appreciate human and cultural diversity. We will use the resources of the entire community and will encourage students to be lifelong learners, to demonstrate high achievement, and to develop the skills and characteristics needed to flourish in society. Our goal is to provide a culturally and linguistically responsive education with the supports needed to ensure equitable access to opportunities that promote language acquisition, bilingualism, biliteracy and lifelong learning.

Recommend Board approval of the 2026-2027 ScIP Team consisting of the following staff members. Based on the provisions of the TEACHNJ Act and AchieveNJ, every school must establish a School Improvement Panel (ScIP) whose role is to ensure and support the implementation of the district’s evaluation, professional development, and mentoring policies at the school level.

 

 

2. 2026-2027 Bilingual ESL Waiver

Recommend Board approval of the 2026-2027 Bilingual ESL Waiver. In accordance with NJDOE regulations, districts must establish a full-time bilingual education program for 20 or more English Language Learners within a single language group. Given current and projected student demographics (age range, grade span, geographic location), a full-time bilingual education program is not sustainable. The proposed waiver is being sought as an alternative plan, centered on Sheltered English Instruction and ESL services. The plan is tailored at the building level based on students' individual needs.

3. Amended 2026-2027 School Calendar

Recommend Board approval to amend the 2026-2027 school calendar as follows. (attachment)

 

*Early dismissal for GHS on Friday, October 23, 2026 due to the Homecoming Dance that evening.

 

Rationale: This will avoid coinciding with Rowan University’s football game on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The half-day schedule will allow students time to get ready for the dance and will also allow time for staff and maintenance to set up and prepare for the night’s event.

 

4. Stockton University-Online Sheltered English Instruction Training

Recommend Board approval for the following staff members to participate in Stockton University's online Sheltered English Instruction (SEI) training. This 15-hour, self-paced professional learning opportunity fulfills the required training for implementing a Sheltered Instruction model to support Multilingual Learners. Participants must complete all modules by August 15 and submit their certificate of completion as verification. Upon successful completion, teachers will be compensated for 15 hours at the contractual hourly rate of $45.00 using Title III and Title III Immigrant funds.

 

 

5. CFDM Corrective Action Plan

Recommend Board approval of the district’s Corrective Action Plan (CAP) developed in response to findings identified through the New Jersey Department of Education’s Consolidated Federal Monitoring (CFDM) review.

 

The New Jersey Department of Education conducted a CFDM review of the district’s federally funded programs to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state regulations and to verify that grant-funded activities are effectively planned, implemented, monitored, and documented. As a result of this review, the district received findings related to Title I, Part A; Title II, Part A; and Title IV, Part A program requirements.

 

The identified areas requiring corrective action include strengthening written procedures for educational stability and transportation support for students in resource family care; ensuring compliance with federal procurement requirements when utilizing federal funds; enhancing documentation of data-informed and job-embedded professional development activities; establishing processes for ongoing stakeholder consultation and evaluation of Title II and Title IV funded initiatives; improving coordination of professional development opportunities across funding sources; and ensuring stakeholder input is incorporated into the planning and implementation of federal programs.

 

The Corrective Action Plan outlines the steps the district will take to address each finding, including the development and revision of procedures, improved documentation practices, stakeholder engagement opportunities, data collection and analysis processes, and ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance and continuous improvement. Implementation of the CAP will support the district’s commitment to responsible stewardship of federal funds, effective program implementation, and improved outcomes for students and educators.
