We, the residents of Bernards Township, are asking the Board of Education and the Administration to meet the needs of our brightest elementary school aged students by implementing the following: 1. Comply with state mandated identification ofaccelerated students from grades K through 5. 2. Provide a full time research and evidence based advanced curriculum for these students, specifically in but not limited to mathematics. 3. Work with parent representatives from our BTPAC (Bernards Township Parents for an Advanced Curriculum), allowing those representatives to present relevant research to assist in the curriculum formulation process.

We moved to this town for the schools but this is a huge letdown. Kids need to be challenged or they just stop trying.

THEY ARE LITERALLY LOSING INTEREST IN LEARNING. If the state says we have to identify these kids then do it already.

K-5 is a waste of time for kids who are already ahead. The board needs to stop ignoring the data and listen to the parents.

Finally!! About time someone spoke up about this. My daughter is doing math at home because the school just has her coloring in the corner.
