# BOE Academic Committee Meeting - November 3, 2026

The Newburgh Schools Board of Education Academic Committee met on November 3, 2026, to review curriculum and instruction priorities and implementation. Administrators discussed Tier 1 instruction for all students, targeted Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports, the rollout of Magnetic Literacy and continued use of i-Ready Math, and secondary literacy instruction using Carnegie Learning. They also described building-level instructional coaches, lead teachers, common planning time, professional learning communities, and efforts to align coursework with the district’s Portrait of a Graduate, including CTE and career and financial management programming.

Committee members asked how student and program progress is assessed and shared with families and the community. Administrators described ongoing use of unit assessments, i-Ready growth data, New York State assessments, classroom walkthroughs, and collaborative teacher review of student work, while noting that implementation and evaluation require time and multiple forms of evidence. No procurement-related discussion, contract awards, purchasing decisions, or spending actions were identified; the closing motion was not clearly described as a procurement action.
