Arellano, School Business Administrator Board Attorney: Yaacov Brisman President Patel recognized the Passaic High School Marching Band and invited them up to perform several pieces for the audience. Mr. Patel stated that the Passaic High School Band received 1st Place in the US Band State Championships and received 3rd Place nationally. The Board Members presented Certificates of Recognition (New Jersey State Champions and Third Place at the United States Band Championship) to the “Senior” members of the band who were present. President Patel thanked Mr. Muñoz, the board and Mr. Rusca for their support to the band and thanked everyone else involved in helping the band to reach this incredible accomplishment. Mr. Rusca thanked everyone for the acknowledgment and all the support provided to the band. Regular Public Meeting Minutes December 19, 2016 Page 4 of 74 Mr. Patel stated that Ms. Elizabeth Shick of Lerch, Vinci & Higgins, LLP would provide a presentation on the yearly Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Ms. Shick reported that the audit opinion given to the district was “unmodified”, which is the best audit opinion an entity can receive. There were three minor audit recommendations which have been addressed in the Corrective Action Plan. Mr. Miller expressed that the CAFR demonstrates that the district is a good steward of the public funds it receives and congratulated Ms. Arellano and the business office staff for managing the thousands of transactions which take place during the year. D. Public Participation: Jeffrey Dye, 443 Howe Avenue Mr. Dye informed the Board that he is the newly elected President of the NAACP and as such will try to be more respectful at all meetings. Mr. Dye thanked the Board and Mr. Muñoz for allowing the African Black History Program to take place each year. Mr. Dye extended an invitation to the program which is scheduled for Friday, February 24, 2017 at Martin Luther King, Jr. School No. 6 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Mr. Dye stated he is still concerned about the on-going nepotism in the district and will continue to criticize when needed. Mr. Dye asked what members of the board were up for re-election. Mr. Dye stated that the “Public Participation” speech which is read at the beginning of the meeting appears to be tailored to Mr. Dye or other members of the audience who come to the meetings to speak. Mr. Dye wished everyone a restful holiday and happy new year and expressed that he wants the board to work together and fairly with the community and stop the discriminatory actions which take place at the board. Mr. Patel responded that the public participation preface to the meetings has been on the agenda for many years. Mr. Patel stated that he welcomes construction criticism as it assists the board and helps to improve the district.. Mr. Muñoz responded that the policy on Nepotism, which is a state requirement in order for the district to receive State aid, has been updated and is more rigorous than the State requires. The district has gone one step further in not allowing the hiring of any family members of the board and all administrators, whether certificated or not. Mr. Muñoz explained that prior to the presentation of the personnel section of the agenda to the board or the public, the Human Resources Division reviews with Mr. Muñoz a nepotism document which declares that the potential new hire has read the district’s Nepotism Policy and answered if they are related to any administrator or board member. If yes, they are disqualified and will not be processed. The rules that the State has in place does not prevent a current employee from continuing to work for the board if a family member becomes a board member or an administrator. Mr. Dye stated he would make an appointment with Mr. Muñoz to discuss the Nepotism Policy. Regular Public Meeting Minutes December 19, 2016 Page 5 of 74 Henry Rhodes, 103 Blaine Street – Mr. Rhodes stated that he is the President of Coaches Association of Passaic (CAP) and thanked the Board of Education and Ms. Arellano for their assistance in providing gymnasiums for the teams to play and practice within the district. Mr. Rhodes stated some of the accomplishments of the CAP football and basketball teams. Mr. Patel thanked and congratulated Mr. Rhodes on the accomplishments he has helped the students achieve. Mr. Patel explained that the board tries to assist all the requests but the facilities are limited at times. Ms. Arellano explained that all fees would be waived for CAP as it benefits district students. Mr. Rosario stated that he would like the 8th grade members of the teams to attend the January or February meeting to be recognized by the board. Mr. Rodriguez thanked Mr. Rhodes and all the coaches for their dedication and the hard work they put into the program and the kids.

    2020-2021 Programs of Study Page 5 of 316 Passaic Public Schools Programs of Study 2020-2021 Introduction The vision of the Passaic Public Schools is to be the best urban school system in New Jersey. In order to fulfill our vision, the mission of the Passaic Public Schools is to provide an excellent education that prepares our students for college and to earn high paying jobs. The Passaic Public Schools will provide every student the opportunity to graduate high school with a career certification and/or a minimum of 15 college credits. Our 2020-2021 coherent and aligned curriculum addresses every subject, for every grade level, pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Such curriculum includes content standards, or expected student learning objectives, and a scope and sequence by grading period. It is inclusive of model lesson plans, teaching materials, and assessments, all of which are to be available for easy and timely access. The Programs of Study serves as a foundational piece of our school system. By evaluating courses offered, selecting instructional materials for classrooms that offer both support and challenge to our students, and enhancing curricula on a continuous cycle, we look forward to updating the Programs of Study document each year, as we build a path for all Passaic Public School students to not just fulfill the requirements of obtaining 15 college credits and/or a career certification, but being equipped to utilize their skills and knowledge in such a way that they will be truly prepared for college and high paying jobs.
