What’s Important to Know About Berkeley Heights This Week….

This week’s newsletter starts with coverage of the recently released 2022-2023 NJ DOE School Performance Report results. An Educator in our Community provides an overall report card comparing Berkeley Heights to other Districts, including the six other schools on our Dashboard. We move on to a closer look at the Dashboard and evaluate results in Math, Science, and English Language Arts with a comparison to where we are relative to 2018-2019 and 2021-2022 results.

The newsletter revisits the transportation controversy, as Dr. Foregger becomes the third BOE Member to express concerns about the Policy Committee’s decision to move forward with a proposal on Courtesy Busing that does nothing to resolve families’ concerns about the secrecy on criteria and data driving the decision on which families get transportation for free and which families have to pay $1000.

The newsletter winds down with reports BHCW received pointing to a third assault on the Open Public Records Act being planned for this week, along with a summary of the contentious County Line issue. On the OPRA front, we encourage readers to consider using the form at the bottom of the update to reach out to representatives and ask them to pull the bills.

We end with news from around the state, notes for the week and our top three articles for March.
