SCHOOLS SUPE VOWS "TRANSPARENT" APPROACH IN STATE OF THE DISTRICT

Alternative Press reports:


MAPLEWOOD, NJ - District Schools Superintendent Brian Osborne delivered a State of the School District address on Wednesday evening at Columbia High School.

"We are striving toward ambitious and achievable goals and being transparent about our progress," Osborne said.  "We should be transparent, forthcoming and outright about the good, bad and ugly that is going on in our system."

Osborne outlined many successes the district has experienced over the past year, and noted that while progress is being made, there are still improvements to be made.

“With the support of an extremely competent and dedicated staff and the commitment of engaged parents and guardians, many of our students are really excelling in the classroom as scholars, on the field as athletes, on the stage as actors and in the studios as artists and musicians.  Our track record shows that we can rise to the challenges that are before us, that we are doing better and better, that improvement is real and evidence-based.  We can channel the changes and mandates into even better learning opportunities and learning for our students and we can really truly prepare each one of our students in this wonderful and diverse community to be successful in college,” Osborne said.
