AVON-BY-THE-SEA — The school is helping prepare for a change to the English Language Arts curriculum by approving teachers to attend a developmental workshop, Superintendent of Avon School Michael-John Herits announced at the board of education meeting on Wednesday, May 10.
“The state is going to change the ELA curriculum standards, so we are going to be piloting a program,” said Mr. Herits. “It is going to be a way to get ahead of it and have a better understanding.”
The board also approved actions including reemploying 25 teachers for the 2023-2024 school year, granting tenure to one teacher, having two teachers salaries be paid through ESSER and ARP funding and allowing four teachers to attend a professional development workshop.
