Summary
At the March 12 Woodbridge Township Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Massimino reviewed February reports and highlighted Read Across America activities, student honors, arts and science programs, and upcoming family engagement events across the district.
Superintendent Doctor Massimino presented the board with the district's monthly reports for February and summarized recent classroom and extracurricular activity across Woodbridge Township. He noted Read Across America week (March 2'6) celebrations in multiple schools, school-sponsored book fairs and guest readers, honor-roll recognitions and arts and STEM programming.
The superintendent outlined several school-specific updates: visits from high-school honor society members to elementary readers, a middle-school musical (Seussical Junior), science demonstrations organized by students and honor society groups, and opportunities for students to earn college credits through regional arts auditions. Massimino also flagged upcoming family engagement nights, a PBSIS pizza bingo night, and plans for autism acceptance month activities in April.
The report included routine operational items filed for the record: student registers, fire drill logs, suspension reports for elementary and secondary schools, bomb-threat reports, and attendance officer summaries. The board moved to adopt the superintendent's 18-item agenda as a package; the motion carried with one abstention noted on item 1.
Board members used the superintendent's report to remind the community of scheduling and budget-related items: the finance committee chair called attention to a list of budget meeting dates included in the committee's items. Several standing committees then presented recommendations drawn from the superintendent's agenda, including curriculum, finance and insurance, safety and security, dining and transportation, and personnel items; each committee motion was adopted by roll call.
The meeting record shows the board accepted the superintendent's reports and committee recommendations and moved on to public comment and any new business before adjourning.
