HUNTERDON CENTRAL REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT

SITE‐BASED ADVISORY TEAM (SBAT)
Affirmative Action
The Affirmative Action Committee met one time this year, on Tuesday, March 8, during Block 5 in Sue
Cooley's office. We discussed the new anti-bullying initiative for students and brainstormed ways to coordinate,
implement and enforce these new State-mandated laws without any or much cost to the District. Ideas were
brought up but no definitive process was put in to place.
The staff also participated in a mandatory Affirmative Action training through the computer.
Archives Committee
The Archives began the new academic year by welcoming Ms. Emily Ford to the Archives staff to replace Mrs.
Harlene Rosenberg. Students decided they wanted to pursue a digital panel project complete with digital
monitors as a way of telling the “story” of Hunterdon Central to all those who visit our halls. Ms. Ford
undertook coordination the project via Google Docs.
Curriculum Committee
The curriculum committee met in September to hear proposals for new courses to be included in the 2011-2012
Program of Study. A summary of courses proposed are:
• Advanced Computer Applications - A quarter class that condenses the existing courses of Advanced
Computer Application I & II.
• Case Studies in AP Biology - Proposed as a quarter-course with completion of AP Biology as a
prerequisite that would broaden student’s understanding by engaging them in discussions including bioethical
issues. This is a non-lab course and cannot have the AP designation in the name without College
Board approval.
• Word Formation of Scientific Vocabulary - A quarter-course that would seek to provide students with
background knowledge and practical information needed to develop a better understanding of
nomenclature used in science.
Matt Thompson discussed the APEX curriculum which will be used to provide direction for some Twilight
classes. This is in response to the need to broaden the curriculum in an effort to attract out-of-district students.
