The next work session of the Bridgewater-Raritan School Board is scheduled for Tuesday, June 14th, at 8:00 PM, in the High School on Garretson Road. The meeting’s agenda is expected to attract a large group of parents who have become focused on a particularly controversial topic which may be resolved by Board action on Tuesday.
The issue relates to a staff report originally presented to the School Board on May 17th and updated on May 24th. It concerns a proposal to establish an ESL (English as a Second Language) Magnet School Program at the Bradley Gardens Elementary School for students from kindergarten through 4th grade.
That plan, if implemented, would involve busing about 112 students from around the District to Bradley Gardens. It also would involve consolidating another 12 ELL students (English Language Learners) at the Hillside School, accounting for a total of 124 students who would be bused away from their neighborhood schools.
