Teaneck Board renews college partnership, approves student‑safety reports and nursing plan
Summary
The board approved a renewal MOU with Fairleigh Dickinson University for its Pre‑Collegiate STEM program, accepted the district HIB self‑assessment and the 2023–24 student safety data report, and approved the 2024–25 Nursing Services Plan and related training summaries.
The Teaneck Board of Education on Sept. 11 approved several curriculum and student‑safety items as part of its public work session.
The board renewed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fairleigh Dickinson University to continue Teaneck students’ participation in the Pre‑Collegiate STEM Discovery Program for 2024–25. The MOU outlines district responsibilities (student registration, parent consent and transportation coordination), the program’s offerings and the parties’ contact information; signatures for Dr. Andre D. Spencer (Superintendent) and Alfredo Tan (FDU director) appear on the document.
The board also approved a staff member’s request to conduct case‑study research: Margot Todman‑Mack, identified in the packet as Teaneck High School Assistant Principal, received board approval to conduct doctorate‑level case study research with IRB exemption documentation noted in the materials.
On student safety, the board accepted the 2023–24 District Report of Student Safety Data and the HIB (Harassment/Intimidation/Bullying) trainings summary. The packet lists per‑school incident totals and training counts; the board materials show a district HIB self‑assessment grade of 77 for August 2024 and district totals for the 2023–24 reporting year (tables in the packet). The materials also note HIB notification requirements to parents under N.J.S.A. 18A:37‑15(d).
The board approved the 2024–25 Nursing Services Plan required under N.J.A.C. 6A:16, which details school‑level nursing assignments, emergency management protocols, individualized health care plans and health‑services operations for the year.
Also approved were dual‑enrollment articulation agreements (Bergen Community College) and a list of Community‑Based Instruction (CBI) partner locations for transition and life‑skills programming. These items were moved as superintendent recommendations and recorded in the meeting materials.
