Background: To understand the significance of the progress made by the Hoboken Charter School (HCS) over the term of its charter, it is important to have a brief overview of the city of Hoboken and the school. Hoboken is a small (1.3 square mile), densely populated urban city nestled on the Hudson River between the Hudson and Lincoln Tunnels. Over the past 10 years, the city has experienced tremendous gentrification and is now home to both the very poor and very wealthy. Hoboken Charter School was developed by a group of Hoboken parents and professional educators. The school's founders believed that a diverse community composed of learners of all ages fosters a spirit of collaboration that is a necessary part of a successful educational experience. Students thrive in environments where expectations are clear and consistent at all levels, and where students are known not only by their peers, but by the entire school community. An emphasis on curriculum that places the student at the center of inquiry is the foundation for the school's four critical learning "cornerstones:" rigorous academics, arts literacy, and personal and civic growth. The school challenges the traditional “one size fits all” philosophy towards schooling and is committed to providing a highly individualized program for every student. HCS opened in September 1998 with grades pre-kindergarten through 3 and 9 through 10. By 2002-2003 the school enrolled students in all grades kindergarten-12 (pre-kindergarten was dropped in 2000 when it became economically infeasible to maintain the high quality pre-kindergarten program). HCS has successfully brought together families from the diverse communities in Hoboken. A key accomplishment of the Hoboken Charter School has been to bring together this extremely diverse community to support academic excellence and develop a strong sense of civic responsibility through service-learning. Many of our students come poorly prepared, disengaged and disenchanted with school, not understanding the connection between what they learn in school and the “real world,” and with limited out of school time opportunities to practice essential skills. Evidence of these problems includes: state test results, locally constructed assessments, formal and informal feedback from students, parents and teachers and observations. In its initial charter application, the Hoboken Charter School identified four critical areas for academic growth – academic, artistic, personal, and civic. Since our last charter renewal, HCS has undergone much grown, faced numerous challenges, and experienced noteworthy successes meeting. We have established our selves as a viable, reputable, and needed educational option in Hoboken. We are no poised to enhance and enrich our educational program even further. With new administrators, committed staff, engaged parents and a wonderful student body, we are excited about the possibilities that await us. The charter renewal has allowed us to reflect on the progress made of the term of the current charter and it is overwhelmingly clear that the development of the vibrant learning community envisioned by the school's founders continues to grow. Working with one of the original founders, who are also an Educational Psychologist, Researcher and remains parent at the school, we have used this opportunity to reflect upon our history and envision our future. We are energized by the possibilities that lie ahead for us and look forward to extending the work that has been done in the spirit of our service learning and learner-centered education mission. These approaches have allowed us to connect an academically rigorous curriculum to community action and involvement. HCS Charter Renewal Pg. 5 1.1 b) Mission of the school The Hoboken Charter School is a K-12 community of learners that seeks to develop the academic, artistic, personal and civic growth of all its members through its commitment to service learning and learner- centered education. The mission of the Hoboken Charter School reflects our belief that a successful educational experience can only take place when attention is given to the development of the whole child -- a break with the traditional concept of schooling. We envision a community composed of learners of all ages that fosters a spirit of supportive interdependence, where individuals can grow in a nurturing, compassionate environment that reflects the history and diversity of the larger Hoboken community. Students thrive when expectations are clear and consistent at all levels and when they are known personally, not only by their peers, but by the entire school community. In our K-12 school, the values underlying a student's education do not vary as the child progresses. This makes the transition from elementary through high school more fluid, allowing each step to build more solidly on the preceding one. Our school brings together students of all ages and abilities in a spirit of collaborative inquiry and understanding that is driven by the unique talents and abilities of all of its members. The value to young students of seeing older students achieve and enjoy learning cannot be overstated. This relationship provides younger students with a concrete lesson on the benefits of working hard and achieving goals. Older students gain a sense of pride and accomplishment through their work as role models. This positive reinforcement is consistent with our theme of service learning. Through community service experience, problem identification, action, and evaluation, and through ongoing personal reflection, students become contributing members of the school community, the community of Hoboken and beyond. The Hoboken Charter School recognizes that teachers and students must be given the appropriate time and space in which to work and learn. Moreover, this work and learning must be focused on the continuing development of the learners' minds.

Our audit was conducted in accordance with the standards applicable to performance audits contained in Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Audit Scope The business processes included in the scope of our audit related to the assessment of internal controls included: inventory; facilities management; purchasing/accounts payable; human resources/payroll; general operations/accounting; food services; transportation; technology; and student activities. In meeting the second objective, we considered the process and related internal controls in place at the time of our fieldwork.

  • Community Facilities: Improving Quality of Life
    49 IV Community Facilities: Improving Quality of Life Hoboken is graced with a number of historic Introduction community facilities buildings. The history of Hoboken as a City is tied to the history of its community and basic infrastructure. The sewers were the first to be built, as the Stevens family sold off its lots in the mid-1800s. While taken for granted now, the improvement to sani- tation brought by the sewers made bearable the density that has defined Hoboken ever since. Later, when Hoboken was coming of age as an industrial and trans- portation powerhouse, its community facilities were its public face. Constructed as much for their symbolic value as to fulfill practical needs, these structures were intended to give material form to the community’s aspirations for itself. Many of Hoboken’s public buildings that predate World War I, such as City Hall and the Demarest School, exhibit the massive proportions and fine detailing that city lead- ers during the period felt were essential to elevate the City’s public realm. The people who use Hoboken’s community facilities today have very different expectations of those facilities than residents did in the past. Where public bureau- cracies and buildings were once intended to inspire a sense of awe in the citizenry, today people expect openness, equal treatment, and a focus on customer service. Where infrastructure and waste collection were once kept out of sight, or at least out of mind, the new awareness of humanity’s relation to the environment means that utilities from trash removal to sewerage to electricity are coming under increased scrutiny.
