Peninsula School District Board Regular Business Meeting - 05/19/2026

The Peninsula School District Board held its Regular Business Meeting on May 19, 2026. The meeting featured extensive recognitions of student achievements, including awards for culinary contests, National Merit Scholarship finalists, and NJROTC program accomplishments. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the presentation and discussion of the district's proposed adoption of new K-12 mathematics curricula for elementary, middle, and high school levels. The board reviewed pilot processes, gathered feedback from students, families, and educators, and discussed cost estimates and professional development plans associated with the new math programs. The recommended elementary curriculum is Eureka Math Squared, with middle and high school curricula also under consideration. The meeting included public comments addressing various district concerns but no formal votes on the curriculum adoption were taken, as these were first readings. The consent agenda was approved without opposition, and several policy reviews were conducted as first reads without action. Overall, the meeting focused on educational program updates, curriculum adoption planning, and student recognitions, with procurement-related discussions centered on the math curriculum adoption process and associated budget considerations.
