- Description:
- The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative study was to examine the impact of a departmentalization structure in grades four and five on student performance. The study was conducted in a large, kindergarten through 12th-grade urban school district in northern New Jersey. The focus was on determining if departmentalization in grades four and five was a model that districts could use to meet the demands of accountability regarding student performance. Student performance measured by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) Mathematics and English Language Arts student scale scores and student growth scores were examined. This research study’s major findings supported the hypothesis that grade four and five students who receive instruction in the departmentalization instructional setting would demonstrate significantly higher scale scores and student growth scores than students in the self-contained group, depending on demographic factors and content area. However, the size of the effect for these significant differences were small. Finally, this study concludes that departmentalization in the elementary grades provides districts with an alternative organizational structure that will allow students to achieve the student standards, student growth, and meet their accountability standards.

- Description:
- This study focused on the extent to which the time of year and/or the inclusion of funds for school safety and/or security had an effect on the outcome of school funding referenda in New Jersey. This study also explored school funding controversies and legislation in New Jersey since 1875. The researcher conducted a quantitative study designed in two phases. First, the researcher analyzed public data on school funding referenda from 2008 through 2018. Subsequently, the researcher conducted a survey of 31 New Jersey school superintendents who passed a referendum in the years 2016, 2017 or 2018 that included funds for school safety and/or security to measure their perspectives on the same. The results of these research steps suggest that certain months do have higher passage rates than others and that the inclusion of funds for school safety and/or security does have a positive effect of passage rates as compared to the overall passage rates for school funding referenda in New Jersey. The researcher also concluded that a majority of the superintendents surveyed in this study believed that the time of year and the inclusion of funds for school safety and/or security had a positive effect on the outcome of their school funding referendum. The results of this study can be used by school district leaders as they develop a strategy for getting their stakeholders to support the additional funds requested in a school funding referendum.
