District news
New Brunswick must submit an improvement plan after QSAC instruction score falls below state threshold
What happened
The Board approved its District Improvement Plan after the June 2026 New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum review found the district’s Instruction and Program area at 77%, below the 80% minimum threshold.
Why it matters to families
The result indicates a documented districtwide instructional-compliance deficiency and requires corrective planning under the state accountability process. The minutes say the score improved by two percentage points from the May 2025 review, but remains below the required minimum.
The evidence
The August 18 minutes report the June 2026 Middlesex County Executive Superintendent review, its five assessed areas, the 77% Instruction and Program score versus an 80% minimum, the resulting requirement to submit a District Improvement Plan, and the Board’s approval of that plan in the consent agenda.
