Board of Education Minutes June 13, 2016

VI. Statement of Public Notice

This is a regular Meeting of the Board of Education of Bernards Township.

Notice of the time and place of this meeting was provided and copies of that

resolution were forwarded to the official newspapers as designated by the Board

of Education and to the Township Clerk and a copy of the notice was posted on

the bulletin board of the Board of Education Offices in accordance with P.L.

1975 Chapter 231A.

We very much welcome input from the public. There are two times during

regular meetings that the public is invited to speak. One time is early in the

meeting before the Board votes, and you may speak about any item that is listed

on tonight’s agenda. Towards the end of the meeting, there is another public

forum to address any topic whatsoever.

When you approach the microphone, please state your name and address. In

order to run efficient meetings and to allow maximum opportunity for members

of the public to speak, the Board reserves the right to set a time limit for

individual comments and/or public comment portions of the agenda. Please

understand that public comment portions of our agendas are not structured as

question and answer sessions, but rather they are offered as opportunities to share

your thoughts with the Board. Any Board responses to public comment will be

addressed during Board Forum, or during committee reports.

There are times when a member of the public makes a comment or asks a

question about an employee. New Jersey statute does not permit us to discuss

personnel issues in public. Also as a matter of law, a Board of Education may

only vote for or against the hiring of an employee upon the recommendation of

the superintendent. If the superintendent does not recommend a person, that

person’s name is not listed on the agenda and there is no vote on that action.

If it is necessary for the Board to go into executive session at the end of the

meeting, we will provide an estimated length of time for the session and whether

any action is anticipated to be taken upon returning to public session.

ADVOCACY

1) WHEREAS, the Bernards Township School District Board of Education passed a

resolution regarding concerns with the PARCC assessment at its June 8, 2015 Board of

Education meeting; and

WHEREAS, the Bernards Township School District Board of Education fully

supports educational policies and practices designed to provide results that promote and

improve student achievement, college readiness, and best teaching practices; and

WHEREAS though we believe in some form of standardized testing, we believe

there is a value in our own district-chosen formative and benchmark assessments that

yield data driven educational decision-making;

WHEREAS, we appreciate the change from two testing windows to one testing

window, the Bernards Township School District Board of Education wishes to express

persisting and additional concerns with the PARCC assessment, including:

organizational stresses, budgetary impacts, technological constraints, relocation of staff

and other resources for administering the PARCC assessment, testing windows that do

not coincide well with the school calendar, PARCC results released by the New Jersey

Department of Education too late in the year, ever-changing methods and instructions

for the implementation of PARCC; and

WHEREAS, the Bernards Township School District Board of Education has

serious concerns regarding the loss of hours of instructional time annually for students in

grades 3 -11 due to the implementation of the PARCC assessment; in particular the

testing of high school students in excess of the national requirement; and

WHEREAS there is inherent inequity in using PARCC assessment results for the

purpose of evaluating teachers from some content areas but not other content areas;

THEREFORE be it resolved that the Bernards Township School District Board

of Education urges the Governor, State Legislature, State Department of Education, and

the State Board of Education to hereby:

Board of Education Minutes June 13, 2016

(1) Reduce the amount of state standardized testing to the minimum level

required by federal law, grades 3 – 8 and once at the high school level (we

suggest 11th

grade). Create state statute requiring districts to make testing

available to all students pursuant to these federal requirements, however, in the

case of high school students, have no negative consequences for the district or its

students who refuse the grade eleven test if they have met alternative graduation

requirements (see (2) below).

(2) Eliminate any future graduation requirements whereby the state mandated

standardized test is the only way to meet the graduation requirement, rather

continue to provide multiple pathways to a high school diploma that include

alternatives such as other standardized tests like the PSAT, SAT, ACT, etc. and

non-testing indicators such as a portfolio; and

(3) Ensure that state mandated standardized test results are delivered to school

districts during the summer in order for educators to analyze and interpret test

data to improve student achievement and instructional practices; and

(4) Eliminate the use of state mandated standardized test scores in the teacher

evaluation process; and

(5) Provide additional funding to support administering the state mandated

standardized test; and

(6) Continue to allow individual districts maximum flexibility in the timing of

their window to administer the state mandated standardized test

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded

to each member of the Legislative District delegation, the Speaker of the General

Assembly, the President of the State Senate, the Governor of the State of New Jersey,

the Chairs of the Assembly and Senate Education Committees, the New Jersey School

Boards Association, and the Garden State Coalition of Schools (160 W State St.,

Trenton NJ 08608).
