provide a planned program of learning that incorporates into its curriculum the lessons
and experiences, within and without the classroom, needed to realize the educational goals
of this district. The Board appreciates the need for constant improvement of the
instructional program and will strive unremittingly to provide an educational system that
assists each pupil in becoming a self?respecting individual who can function effectively and
satisfyingly.It is the expectation of this school district that all pupils achieve the New Jersey Core
Curriculum Content Standards at all grade levels.The Board will seek out and work cooperatively with the available resources of home and
community including business and industry, in the improvement of the educational
program.The Board will endeavor to employ a high caliber, well?prepared staff of adequate size and
wide?ranging abilities. Moreover, the Board will provide pupils and staff, as needs dictate

pupils to understand our democratic society; to believe in it and to act fairly in their

toward others; to want, and to be able to perform well, some portion of the work of the

and society; to understand and use effective methods in framing the questions and tackling
the problems that they encounter in their lives to the end that they may function politically,
