A discussion at the Board of Education meeting centers around accepting out-of-district students.
The Board of Education has put off a vote on accepting out-of-district students so it can receive more information about space needs at South Mountain Elementary School. South Mountain parents at Monday's meeting expressed concerns about accepting the students because of a crowded situation at the school. The proposal would accept seven out-of-district students, and three of them would attend South Mountain in the integrated preschool that is located there. The students already are in the schools. Sue Scheiner, speaking with Clare Garber, said the problems center around the integrated preschool, which has expanded over the years. A small group of students are in a room that is normally used for a large number of students. Other parents …

Millburn-Short Hills residents have the chance to raise some money for their schools with a click of the mouse. Kohl's Cares for Kids, sponsored by the department store with the same name, is giving away $10 million to schools across the country. Twenty schools will receive $500,000 each through the campaign on Facebook. And to get the money, a school needs the most votes and the best ideas. Millburn-Short Hills public schools already are on the list with a handful of votes, but some schools are still waiting for votes. Millburn High School has eight votes, Millburn Middle School has two, Deerfield Elementary School has none, Hartshorn Elementary School has one, Glenwood Elementary School has none, South Mountain Elementary School has one …

In a rainbow of colored t-shirts, they competed in a variety of races and athletic competitions.
"You better not pour too much water on your heads and not in your mouths," a parent volunteer warned a girl in an orange shirt. "If we run out of water, it'll be another hour before field day is over." As the temperature topped 81 degrees and the sun beat down on the fifth graders, Millburn High Schools' football field looked as though it was full of human Popsicles. Children from all five elementary schools were milling around in teams of red, orange, yellow, blue, purple and green as part of the annual Fifth Grade Field Day. There is no distinction between schools, only colors. "This is such a great way for them to meet kids they are going to be going to school with next year," said parent volunteer Elizabeth Belzer. "I love that they …

There's a proposal for Wyoming and South Mountain schools to share a technology teacher.

Tuesday, March 30, 2010
To the Editor: In response to the announcement made at the March 22, 2010 Board of Ed meeting, I wonder why the current problem facing Wyoming and South Mountain schools—specifically the sharing of a technology teacher between South Mountain and Wyoming schools—has not been openly covered by the Item and Patch. Lisa Levine (a parent at Wyoming School) eloquently addressed this problem. The Item chose to ignore her presence and position. We understand that with the financial aid cuts made by Trenton we have to make sacrifices. However, I ask if the sacrifice is equally borne by all schools in the district? We have already had losses not experienced by the other schools.

I heard from a teacher in the district that technology teachers spend much of the day helping other teachers do basic things on their computers that they should otherwise have the skills to do.
