Refinement and realignment of curriculum opportunities drive all of the learning opportunities and experiences offered to our students and are at the core of our mission as a school district. The infusion of energy that has been inspired by thecommunication between all district staff will continue to grow as a result of both vertical and horizontal articulation throughout the year. District administration will glean feedback from this to continue to collaborate with supervisors and teachers in securing resources that support the implementation of research based best practice.Dr. Mailot, District Director of Funded Programs/District Test Coordinator, provided an overview of NJASK & HSPA test data analysis. Her presentation compared scores over a three year period. Her commentary was focused on trends in student performance in comparison to the DFG and state results. Discussion ensued regarding the scores of each population of students and their consistent tendency to remain higher than the state and DFG for both English Language Arts and Mathematics.Our new Elementary Curriculum Director, Cara DiMeo, discussed key curriculum changes and resources to support instruction aligned to the Common Core and pointed out how they relate to student performance data. The newly revised K-5 curriculum guides for English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Math are fully aligned to the New Jersey Core Content Curriculum Standards and the Common Core State Standards. The revised curriculum was designed to support literacy instruction acrossall content areas. Each contains suggested modifications to support various levels of academic readiness, including integrated accommodations for students receiving support for ELL and special education, as well as for enrichment purposes. The scope & sequence guides, which are modeled after NJ Model Curriculum (reflecting the sequence suggested by the PARCC consortium), also provide concrete guidance for instruction. In addition, benchmark assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics have been revised for efficient progress monitoring of students’ mastery of the Common Core.Continued support for teachers concerning the workshop model of instruction has been the focus of recent professional development opportunities and will continue to be a priority as we transition towards instruction that is aligned to the standards.A brief review of the current resources to support instruction included references to:?Reading Wonders?Schoolwide reading units?Ready Common Core bundles for grades 3-5?Everyday Math bridge documents?Supplemental resources being compiled to address achievement gaps in all areasMr. Coleman apprised the committee of the status of our secondary curriculum. All curriculum has been reviewed and updated to be aligned to both the NJCCCS and the CCSS and the quarterly assessments have been revised to reflect these changes. Teachers will use cluster analysis from state test scores to provide data for focused instruction. Mr. Coleman gave an update on the implementation of our new 6-8 grade math curriculum and text resource, BIG IDEAS. This program provides students with a blend of student led, inquiry based learning and direct instruction and has a strong digital support component. Teachers in all content areas are focusing on infusing informational text strategies to promote student success.Mr. Hauenstein reviewed the QSAC report and Statement of Assurance for the 2013-2014 school year which is being presented for board approval tonight. He outlined two high school student requests for option two programs in the area of technology. Additionally, Mr. Hauenstein presented an overview for an Educational Research project which was developed with teachers who are participating in our partnership with Stevens Institute of Technology.Dr. Natanagara presented the board with a comprehensive overview of the initial draft of the District Professional Development Plan. He briefly outlined the rationale for the document, including detail related to the status of the draft, the development process, and key district initiatives that were contained therein. Dr. Natanagara further explained that our professional development plan is a living document that is best informed through staff feedback and ongoing needs assessment. Dr. Natanagara identified the section required by the NJDOE (District PD Plan), which will be placed on the October 21 agenda for the Board's approval. Dr. Natanagara stated that the document will be used by staff to make curricular and professional development-related decisions.Mrs. McKenna spoke of district initiatives to address school culture and climate. At the September anti-bullying specialist meeting each school was charged with designing a positive behavioral system where students are provided with explicitly taught examples of expectations for behavior. As part of this program, these behaviors are recognized and acknowledged by staff. Hooper Avenue Elementary School was named for its current pilot plan which was designed as a result of a recommendation made by the school safety team. This initiative entails student participation in a recess plan that allows students choices of various activities to take part in each day. This month’s fun choices include kick ball, an obstacle course, three way soccer, “capture the chicken”, and a station for free play. In its first week, the school has already seen a dramatic decline in lunchtime nurse visits, and student conflicts.Mrs. McKenna also provided details related to a project between our elementary schools and TV 21. All district elementary schools in Toms River will have the opportunity to participate in the Primary News Project throughout the school year. The project consists of a 10-12 student crew, each of whom will explore a different job related to the development, presentation, and broadcasting of the news program. Teacher advisers will select students on a rotating basis from each school to allow for maximum student participation. The project fosters collaboration between high school and elementary students in both the collection of video footage for planned segments and in the filming of the program. Equally as important, parents and community members are informed of various highlights from the happenings of each elementary school.The first segment was filmed last Friday, October 17, 2014 and will be aired on local TV 21 (Comcast) and 26 (Verizon), as well as on the district YouTube channel, later this week.In terms of recent technology purchases and the use of these technologies to support the instruction and learning, Mr. Healy advised the Board of the progress being made in this area and that a committee meeting will be scheduled for November.

These legislative items require New Jersey public schools to maintain records through the Electronic Violence and Vandalism Report, and report statistics to the public twice per year. The first report was made at the April 8, 2014, Board of Education meeting, which reflected statistics and programs for the first half of last school year. This report fulfills the annual obligation and will reflect statistics and programs for the entire 2013-2014 school year, as outlined by statute for all 18 of the Toms River Schools, inclusive of three high schools, three intermediate schools and all twelve elementary schools. The district is comprised of 16,000 pupils for the 2013-2014 school year.As a foundation for the report, we applaud the continuing efforts of the district’s staff, student body and parents to continue to support efforts to maintain a safe school environment.This includes:The combined efforts of over 2,000 staff members – teachers, paraprofessionals, nurses, guidance counselors, secretaries, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers, administrators, and other support staff;The School Resource Officers and Safety Officers in our high schools and intermediate schools;Our district’s security force; Our Student Assistance Counselors;Our student body, parents and guardians.Also included are the implementations made in the past years to increase security, including:Monthly security drills;Closed circuit surveillance camera systems; The addition of school safety officers;Buzz in systems at our schools;Revisions to all school security plans;Involvement with the Governor’s Task Force on School Safety and the Making Our Schools Safe initiative during 2013;Annual and on-going door checks at all buildings; The School Safety and Security Plan, a 91 point document developed and updated for each school;And, school-based review by district-staffed Security Teams.The continuing goal of our district is to provide quality education in a safe environment. The collective efforts of all district employees are the foundation for our continued efforts to maintain a safe school environment for each student and staff member. This effort is never ending and all involved are to be applauded.In documenting two mandated events during the month of October, The Week of Respect, which just passed, October 6 – 10, 2014, and this week’s School Violence Awareness Week, October 20-24, 2014, our district is reinforcing the message of safe and respectful schools! The list provided is just a snapshot of what is occurring, but, it is noted:Grade 6 students at the intermediate level witnessed an assembly from the Ocean County Health Dept. - #DrugCode, while grade 7 and 8 students heard from members of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office on Internet Safety. Also, announcements and posters with anti-violence and respect themes were prominent through both weeks.Elementary schools are fully participating; the list of events, activities and programs is extensive. Included are participation in the TR3R code:“As a student of the TRSD, I pledge to:Respect myself by making good choices;Respect my classmates by treating them kindly;Take responsibility for my actions.Also, posters, signs, announcements, special clothing days, vocabulary lessons, books and stories, art contests, parades, all delivered the message of respect, kindness and tolerance. High Schools are also involved with daily announcements to promote tolerance and respect using quotes from noted people, buttons with the word “RESPECT” in school colors being handed out, poster contests delivering the message of respect, essay and video lessons, some even in Spanish, throughout the curriculum all with the focus on the message of respect and tolerance.While tremendous efforts are made to educate and demonstrate a message of respect, safety and tolerance during October, it must be also noted these same messages are the expectation for the entire school year.In reviewing the EVVR data, the 2013-2014 school year incidents of violence, vandalism, weapons and substance abuse will be reviewed in comparison to the previous five year trend average, 2008-2009 through 2012-2013, for each indicator. It is important to also note this is the second year, as per state statute, incidents of Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying have been separated from the category of Violence.In the subgroup of violence, the five year trend average reflects 121 incidents, while the 2013-2014 reports lists 73 incidents, a decrease of forty-eight (48) incidents. (This statistic also reflects some years where Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying incidents were recorded as a part of the violence category).In the subgroup of vandalism, the five year trend average reflects 12 incidents, while the 2013-2014 reports lists 4 incidents, a decrease of eight (8) incidents. In the subgroup of weapons, the five year trend average reflects 12 incidents, while the 2013-2014 reports lists 6 incidents, a decrease of six (6) incidents.In the subgroup of substance abuse, the five year trend average reflects 62 incidents, while the 2013-2014 reports lists 51 incidents, a decrease of eleven (11) incidents.Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying statistics are now reported in a separate category. In 2011-2012, the first year of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights law, these offenses were reported in the Violence category. Last year, 2012-2013, the incidents of HIB were reported in a separate category, with 46 events. This year, the district reported 53 incidents, an increase of seven (7) incidents. In total review of all reportable categories, the 2013-2014 EVVR report reveals 187 events, while the five year trend reflects an average of 215 incidents, a decrease of 28 events in comparison. I present to our Board of Education the statistics as required, to highlight our continuing efforts to present safe schools and proper student behaviors. I applaud the entire districts’ personnel in promoting a safe environment and tolerant behaviors.
