School Board Approves 2025-26 District Goals, But Not Without Controversy

July 25, 2025 School Board

**WANTS POSTPONEMENT –** *School Board member Bill Grippo explains why the vote on the District’s 2025-26 goals should be postponed at the July 24 Board meeting.*

The goals are ironed out in a special Board retreat every summer, and this year was no different, with the meeting held on July 14. What was different this year was a torrential rainstorm that hit the state that night, causing widespread flooding and prompting Gov. Phil Murphy to declare a State of Emergency.
