New Providence Downs Union Catholic 10-0

The Pioneers were led by starter Cassandra Squeri who surrendered only four hits to the Vikings.

With their Union County Championship finals matchup against Governor Livingston on deck, Wednesday’s matchup against Union Catholic loomed as a trap game for New Providence. There would be no let down in this one though as Cassandra Squeri (3-4, 2B, RBI) led the Pioneers to a 10-0 victory over the Vikings. “This game was great for us to get our confidence up,” Squeri said. “It was great for our hitting especially since we have had to work inside a lot.” The Pioneers bats were hot from the outset, as the home team put across four runs in the first stanza.  Jenna Madden led off the game with a double, one of three in the inning. Kelsey Quinn (2-4, 2B, RBI) Amelia Ekert (2-3, RBI) and Kaylin Ricciardi (2-3, 2B, RBI) all picked up RBIs in the …

New Providence High School Students to Receive iPads in 2013

Technology improvement is part of a district-wide curriculum upgrade. Plus, board awards $228K bid to Landsite Construction Company for Lieder Field Bleacher Renovation Project.

Freshmen, sophomores and juniors at New Providence High School will each receive an iPad in February 2013, with the entire high school receiving the tablets in the beginning of the 2013-2014 academic year.  The upgrade is part of a push toward curriculum reform, which began in 2007 and encouraged technology in the classrooms, said Superintendent of Schools David Miceli.  The iPads will be given to each freshman as they enter the high school, and will be their personal tablet for their time in the school through a lease program with Apple. This way, the school will constantly have the most updated technology as iPads are updated, Miceli said. The program will cost $378,000 for the first-year implementation, including a $112,000 …

Should Public School Districts Pay for Private School Busing?

The state requires public school districts to pay the transportation costs for students attending private and parochial schools.

New Jersey public school districts have been paying to bus parochial and private school students for years. A report in The Asbury Park Press puts the annual cost at $77 million a year for about 90,000 students of religious and other private schools, money that comes out of local budgets funded by property taxes. According to the paper, districts are required "to spend up to $884 on transportation for each student attending a private school, be it on a school bus or a parent driving the child to class." The state is one of only a handful that pay for private-school busing, with 34 banning all public funding for private schooling. Patch wants to know what you think.

In Summit, the town is not required to pay for busing private school students because it doesn't offer busing for the public school students. But, as others have argued, we're saving the town plenty sending our kids to private school. As taxpayers, it seems only fair we receive the bus subsidy. In addition to the cost of teachers and staff, imagine all the additional school building capacity the …   more ›
