On Tuesday, December 15, 2009 the Hoboken Board of Education unamiously adopted the Hoboken Curriculum Project.
WHEREAS it is necessary for a New Jersey Board of Education to approve
and/or adopt a Curriculum on an annual basis, and
WHEREAS it is the Curriculum which forms the roadmap by which instruction is
delivered, and
WHEREAS the Hoboken Curriculum Project has been writing and designing a
curriculum product for the past several years, a curriculum aligned with the New
Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards, and
WHEREAS a curriculum document is a fluid and growing piece of educational
literature, and thus shall be frequently updated and fine-tuned, and
WHEREAS adoption of a curriculum by a Board of Education does not
necessarily imply the endorsement of every page of the document, but rather
acknowledges the fact that its district, its teachers, and its students have been
provided with educational guidelines,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, after a presentation of the Curriculum to
the Board and the Public two months ago, and a recent follow-up public and
board question and answer opportunity, the Curriculum as prepared, written, and
presented, be accepted and adopted by the Hoboken Board of Education on this
the fifteenth day of December, 2009 for the 2009-2010 School Year.
