# Monroe Twp BOE Curriculum, Co-Cuuricular, Athletics & Pupil Personnel Committee 11.11.26

The Monroe Township School District Curriculum, Co-Curricular, Athletics & Pupil Personnel Committee met on November 11, 2026, to discuss a community climate change grant and preschool programming. The district reported receiving a Department of Education grant of more than $45,000 for after-school programming, running from June 2026 through August 2027. Plans include developing interdisciplinary curriculum, hiring four unit writers (with a posting issued and interviews to follow), and exploring construction and placement of a freestanding greenhouse, potentially at the high school. Rutgers University will partner with the district, including possible campus visits and opportunities for students to work with professors. No procurement award, bid approval, or spending-related vote was reported.

The committee also discussed changes to preschool enrollment communications and procedures, including a website information area, timestamped interest forms, clearer deadlines, and a deposit after a seat is offered to reduce unfilled seats caused by late withdrawals. Members discussed capacity and the possibility of future preschool expansion or public-private partnerships under the state’s universal preschool initiative, but no related funding or purchasing decision was made.
