The Highlands Board of Education once again completed the NJ Department of Education’s monitoring and accountability program and the k-6 elementary school was deemed in compliance as mandated by the state Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tara Beams told the Board of Education Monday night at its meeting.
The superintendent explained the monitoring program is a mandate in all school district every three years with a purpose of ensuring each school is in compliance with all state and federal programs and regulations.
Dr. Beams noted that the Highlands School satisfactorily scored higher than 80 in all five areas monitored and has been rated as high performing. Scores ranked from one 83 percent to three at 100 per cent, achieved in the five areas monitored during the program.
Henry Hudson Regional, which also went through the three year mandated program this year, also passed with a high rating, the superintendent said.
“This is not an award,,” Dr. Beams said, but rather “ a compliance rating and how the Department of Education monitors the effectiveness of school districts.”
