Cranford Cancels 'Reimagining' Meeting, After School Activities

CRANFORD, NJ - Due to the inclement weather, all after-school activities and events scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 15 have been canceled, according to the district website. The district said it will reschedule the Reimagining Cranford Public Schools meeting that was supposed to take place at Hillside Avenue School for a later date.

The first school-based community meeting to discuss the Reimagining Cranford Public Schools proposal was held this past Tuesday evening at Walnut Avenue School. The presentation, including the Question and Answer portion as well as the slide deck and feedback data, can be viewed here.

The school administration has been holding meetings about a new Strategic Plan that will focus on the district's new mission, vision, goals, and action plans which will guide the next five years. Included in the proposal could be redistricting, the process of changing school attendance zones within a school district.

A group of parents are gathering opinions on the controversial 'reimagining' plan for the Cranford School District via online survey, and they want their neighbors to share their thoughts. The organizers of the survey acknowledged that because the proposed plan to reimagine the district is a hot topic, they will take pains to ensure full transparency of the survey data post the survey close date and it will be shared with everyone, including school Superintendent Scott Rubin.
