It is unclear how it will affect things specifically, but several board members praised it as a way for all students to get the same opportunities.
See it below. A final vote is set for the board's October meeting.
5755.1 Access and
Equity
All
elementary, middle school, and high school parents/guardians and children in
the South Orange-Maplewood School District shall have access to, and the
ability to choose between, different educational programs in all academic
subjects, and at all academic levels. In
furtherance of this Policy, all students shall be provided with age-appropriate
academic supports for access to advanced-level courses, including, by way of
example, but not limitation, readiness programs and courses, in-school and
after-school tutoring, Saturday readiness sessions, and summer
institutes. The District shall also engage in a pre-K through 12th
grade curricular alignment, ensuring that all students develop the knowledge
and skills fundamental to successful performance in Advanced Placement and
advanced level courses by providing the highest levels of academic rigor in
Pre-K, Elementary, Middle and High School
courses.
