SCHOOL OPERATIONS and CURRICULUM

JULY 13, 2022

Be It Resolved, that the Teaneck Board of Education, upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, approves the following School Operations and Curriculum resolutions:

that the Teaneck Board of Education, upon the recommendation of the Interim Superintendent of Schools and the Interim Business Administrator/Board Secretary, approve the move of the self-contained Multiple Disabilities Kindergarten class from Lowell Elementary to Bryant School for the 2022-2023 school year.

EXPLANATION: The Multiple Disabilities kindergarten class is currently located at Lowell Elementary School, the class at Bryant School will service special education students transitioning from preschool to kindergarten, who, per their Individualized Education Plan (IEP), require a more structured, full-day ABA program with a smaller class size, and toileting access than is offered in the integrated kindergarten class at Lowell Elementary. The full-day program at Bryant will provide opportunities for intensive small group instruction, 1:1 instruction, opportunities for inclusion with general education peers and related services provided as per the student IEPs.

that the Board approve the NJDOE Bilingual Waiver (attached) which provides justification for our current high-intensity ESL Program.

EXPLANATION:	As per New Jersey Administrative Code: 6A:15-1.4(d), the district is required, annually, to review projected enrollment and determine the feasibility of a Bilingual Program. For the 2022-2023 school year, the Teaneck School District is submitting the attached Bilingual Waiver because due to geographic location it is impractical to provide a full-time bilingual program. According to our projected enrollment, no schools are set to educate 20 or more Spanish- speaking students in one grade-level within one building. For the 2022-2023 school year, the Teaneck School District will employ the NJDOE high-intensity ESL instructional model for educating English learners.

that the Board approve the NJDOE Bilingual Waiver (attached) which provides justification for our current high-intensity ESL Program.

Explanation:

As per New Jersey Administrative Code: 6A:15-1.4(d), the district is required, annually, to review projected enrollment and determine the feasibility of a Bilingual Program. For the 2022-2023 school year, the Teaneck School District is submitting the attached Bilingual Waiver because due to geographic location it is impractical to provide a full-time bilingual program. According to our projected enrollment, no schools are set to educate 20 or more Spanish-speaking students in one grade-level within one building. For the
2022-2023 school year, the Teaneck School District will employ the NJDOE high- intensity ESL instructional model for educating English learners.

SUBJECT:	Supply Chain Assistance (SCA) Funding

The United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has made federal funding available in Federal Fiscal Year 2022 for Supply Chain Assistance. This funding is in response to the unprecedented challenges in purchasing and receiving food that operators of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program are experiencing in School Year (SY) 2021‐2022.

A base payment of $5,000 is being awarded to eligible school districts, as well as a proportional funding amount based on each SFA’s share of statewide student enrollment. Funding will be available for use during the 2022‐2023 school year. SCA funds must be used to exclusively purchase unprocessed or minimally processed domestic food products and may not be used to cover the cost of past expenditures.
These funds may only be used for current/future expenses.

School Food Authorities are not required to account for these funds separate from the nonprofit school food service account; however, they are required to maintain purchasing and other related records for review and audit purposes in accordance with 7 CFR 210.9(b)(17) and 7 CFR 210.18. This documentation must reflect those purchases made by SFA’s are consistent with the purpose of SCA funding (domestic unprocessed or minimally processed food products, in amounts that are at least equal to funds received). SCA funds may not be used for any labor, indirect or administrative expenses. The use of SCA funds will be reviewed and monitored in the same manner as other funds within the nonprofit school food service account and must comply with all applicable Federal procurement and financial management requirements per 2 CFR 200.

This one‐time payment was issued during the week of July 1 and was coded as “SCA2022.” New Jersey Office of Management and Budget provides vendors and other State payees access to the Vendor Payment Inquiry (VPI) website. Enrollment in VPI is available to any vendor or subrecipient doing business with the State and provides users with the ability to obtain detailed payment information for all disbursements processed through the New Jersey Comprehensive Financial System (NJCFS). https://www- tyomb.state.nj.us/TYM_VPI/home (case sensitive)
