Superintendent highlights high-impact tutoring grant and ACUPPLACER boot camp for seniors
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Seavoya said Keyport is one of three county districts receiving an expanded high‑impact tutoring grant, noted summer bridge programs and an ACUPPLACER boot camp with eight seniors in partnership with Brookdale Community College, and previewed summer staffing and a substitute-caller job description.
Superintendent Dr. Seavoya told the board that Keyport is among three county districts selected to receive an expanded high‑impact tutoring grant, which will be expanded through the summer and include programs such as an essay-writing boot camp and a freshman bridge program.
She reported that the ACUPPLACER boot camp, run in conjunction with Brookdale Community College, served eight seniors in May and June; students who improved their placement scores will not need remedial classes in the fall, reducing noncredit college course costs. Dr. Seavoya said district staff are posting summer positions tied to those initiatives and that a substitute-caller job description will be circulated over the summer to help coordinate substitute assignments and nursing coverage.
Dr. Seavoya also noted there were no new HIB (harassment, intimidation, bullying) reports and referenced upcoming articulation and committee meetings with the borough. The superintendent emphasized continued dialogue with borough officials about drainage work and facilities coordination near Central School.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the state’s remote-instruction plan requirement; Dr. Seavoya said New Jersey requires districts to be out three consecutive days before switching to a remote-instruction plan and noted practical challenges when the district is not one-to-one for devices.
