Federal, State andLocal funds, including the city tax levy for education and Federal Entitlement and Competitive Grants State and PrivateGrants will be allocated and/or reallocated according to guidelines to fund the activities that support the school’simprovement plan.
Ensuring that curriculum is aligned to the CCCS The curriculum has been revised in all areas to reflect greater alignment to the NJCCCS and includes back-mappingand strategies on how to ensure retention of all requisite standards and CPI’s. The district is beginning to supportdevelopment of the Common Core Standards lesson plans and curriculum alignment.
