PERTH AMBOY — Acting Superintendent of Schools Vivian Rodriguez takes a calm approach in making sure the district focuses on getting work done.
The calmness she displays in her management and personal approach may be one of the reasons she was asked back to the district after being on sabbatical for several months.
Perth Amboy school superintendent Janine Caffrey has been put on paid administrative leave for the third time. Whether Dr. Caffrey will be returned to the district again or not, she has already announced her decision not to apply to be rehired for next year.

That same sense of engagement can be found in the spacious math centers at William C. McGinnis Middle School in Perth Amboy, which is half-way through its first year of Teach to One Math.
Last summer, the school renovated its classrooms for six, seventh and eighth grades, creating open spaces where eight general and special education math teachers work with 120 students at the same time.
