Board approves curriculum items including zoo outreach, preschool dental screening and no‑cost wellness services
Summary
Trustees approved C1–C21. Notable items: Bergen County Zoological Park outreach at a cost not to exceed $3,425 (paid with preschool education aid), a collaboration with Hackensack University Medical Center for preschool oral screening, and SelectWellness providing wellness services at no cost to the district.
The board approved a bundle of curriculum recommendations (C1–C21) that included several programmatic partnerships for the 2025–26 school year. Trustee Pringle highlighted C7, which authorizes the Bergen County Zoological Park to provide district outreach and listed a total cost not to exceed $3,425 to be paid from preschool education aid. The board also approved a collaboration with Hackensack University Medical Center to conduct preschool oral screening and a SelectWellness contract to provide wellness services at no cost to the district.
Trustees voted to approve the curriculum slate on roll call without recorded dissent. Board members noted that some programs are grant‑funded or described as no cost to the district, and a trustee asked staff to confirm those funding assumptions in agenda language for clarity.
