Listening to Middle Schoolers

Tom Ottaviano, president of the Cape May County School Boards Association, far left, stands beside Terrence J. Crowley, Cape May executive county superintendent, and 13 students who received certificates for participating in last week’s Eighth Grade Dialogue program.

Cape May was one of the first county associations to adopt the annual format, where students describe issues in their schools: their best experiences, high-school readiness, safety and technology, and what they would do to improve their schools.

Camden and Gloucester held their Eighth Grade Dialogue program last week. Over the years, other county school boards associations have adopted the Eighth Grade Dialogue format.
