Superintendent: summer programs running smoothly; district says four bullying investigations were unfounded
Summary
Superintendent Moore told the July 22 board meeting that summer programs including ESY and enrichment saw strong participation, athletic and academic camps are upcoming, and the district reviewed four bullying investigations since the June meeting and found them unfounded; he also offered condolences over the sudden death of Montclair Superintendent Dr. Jonathan Ponds.
Superintendent Moore reported to the West Orange Board of Education on July 22 that the district's summer programs "have been operating smoothly and successfully," citing the Extended School Year (ESY) program, increased enrollment in summer enrichment and upcoming athletic and academic camps.
Moore also noted the sudden death of Montclair Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jonathan Ponds, saying he attended a tribute and extended the district's condolences to Montclair families and staff.
On student-safety matters Moore said, "Since June's board of ed meeting, we've had 4 ... investigations ... and all 4 incidents have been determined unfounded." That summary indicates the district reviewed four bullying-related complaints and did not substantiate them after investigation, according to the superintendent's remarks.
Moore closed his report by thanking staff and administrators for their work over the summer. The board took no separate action on the report; routine agenda items followed.
