The Monticello Central School District is participating in a
three-county Teaching is the Core grant (http://www.titc3.org)
during the 2014-2015 school year. Ulster BOCES is the lead
agency for this grant, which was awarded by the NYS Education
Department.
Teachers and administrators from districts in Ulster, Dutchess
and Sullivan counties will review their current student
assessments and either modify, revise or eliminate some of the
assessments with an eye to preventing overassessment of
students. Other participating districts are Highland, Kingston,
Rondout Valley, Saugerties, Wallkill and Wappingers.
Updates about the project and information for parents will be
posted during the school year on our district website.
