BOE Approvew NJQSAC Statement, $14K to Get Leased Central Office Space 'Wired'

On the Agenda: The Fort Lee Board of Education met Monday for its regular public business meeting

The Monday approved a resolution accepting a revised New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJQSAC) checklist for the 2011-2012 school year and approving submission of a “statement of assurance” to the County Executive Superintendent.

The NJQSAC is the system by which the state Department of Education monitors and evaluates public school districts. According to the DOE, the system relies on five “key components” to evaluate a school district’s effectiveness: Operations, Instruction and Program, Governance, Fiscal Management and Personnel.

The BOE also passed a resolution accepting a $14,123 proposal from CJ Communications Group of Thornwood, NY for Internet wiring services in preparation for relocating the school district’s central offices to the space it’s leasing at 2175 Lemoine Ave. for the next five years in order to convert the current offices on Whiteman Street into classrooms.
