At the Elizabeth Board of Education meeting of June 21 at Thomas Jefferson Arts Academy, the meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Jefferson Arts Academy senior Makiah Robinson; the Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key performed by Jefferson Arts Academy A Capella Choir; and the Pledge of Ethics led by Jefferson Arts Academy sophomore Ariana Montoya; as well as performances, including an anti-bullying step dance routine to "I'm Still Standing" by Elton John by the Terence C. Reilly School No. 7 Dance Troupe, and “This is Me” by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul performed by Jefferson Arts Academy A Capella Choir.
Board President Maria Carvalho recognized Boys Varsity soccer coach Joseph Cortico, who has retired as coach of the team after the longest tenure ever by a varsity soccer coach, following the boys soccer team being honored by the Board and receiving jackets and medals for their Union County Co-Championship in Fall 2017. As she shared the accolades Coach Cortico’s career, which spanned 34 years, a video showed many of the snapshots of those memorable moments. Elizabeth Public Schools Director of Athletics Ben Candelino expressed his congratulations to Coach Cortico on behalf of the district and the athletic department.
The Board also recognized Elizabeth Public Schools Chief of Operations Francisco Cuesta and Teacher Raymond (John) Muller for their outstanding community work in receiving the 2018 New Jersey Governor’s Jefferson Award. Cuesta has helped raise nearly a half million dollars for the Elizabeth Promise Scholarship Awards and Muller has been very active in Bear Hugs for the Holidays at Overlook and Morristown hospitals as well as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for many years.
Jefferson Arts Academy Principal Michael Ojeda presented to the Board the approach he has taken to be able to address various issues that resulted in Jefferson Arts Academy being designated a Focus School by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE). In April 2012, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s administration announced the final list of Priority, Focus, and Reward Schools as part of its new statewide accountability system, which included 183 Focus Schools. A Focus School is a school that has room for improvement in areas that are specific to the school. As part of the process, Focus Schools receive targeted and tailored solutions to meet the school’s unique needs. The types of Focus schools include those with low graduation rates, largest within-school gaps, and lowest subgroup performance.
As a result of this approach by Ojeda and the team members of Jefferson Arts Academy, the NJDOE has announced that Jefferson Arts Academy will be exiting Focus School status in June 2018.
During the meeting, the Board celebrated and recognized excellent achievements of members of the Elizabeth Public Schools Professional Learning Community and the greater Elizabeth community. Among those honored at the meeting were:
