48
00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:17.760
special education ACES committee and that is chaired by Mrs. Washburn. >> The special education ACES committee met on July 13th. The committee received updates on the ACES program, which now includes 11 classrooms with all positions filled except one.

49
00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:33.920
Preparations for the upcoming school year continue, including plans to gather parent feedback through a summer meeting. The committee also reviewed the successful start of the extended school year program. Um spoke about the hiring of a teacher for uh the new Donahue Erri

50
00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:48.720
program and received an update that the ASUS courtyard project has been completed. That's about it. All right. >> Thank you, Miss Washurn. >> Welcome. >> All right. Next item on our agenda is superintendent highlights information. So, I'll turn it over to Mr. Carol.

51
00:13:48.720 --> 00:14:05.680
>> Thank you, Mr. Sarno. Um, just a a heads up for everybody if you aren't counting your weeks. This is the fifth week of our summer. We have 10 glorious weeks of uh summer to get all our uh work done. Uh update, it's also the midy year for or the mid program for our extended

52
00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:21.839
school year. Uh our students will be finishing up August 6th. Uh with that, our buildings and grounds are right on schedule with all the work they need to do to get us ready for the opening. As well, our support staff and administration all working every day on

53
00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:36.639
their projects. Uh board committees uh still meeting. Most boards that I've worked with in the past did not meet in the summer. So, good for you uh putting in the extra time. Um, and then, uh, the other thing I I want to put out there, the board had looked

54
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:51.279
for, uh, ways to get other revenue sources and has partnered with an advertising, um, firm. One of the things that they brought to us is the possibility of a partnership with a national franchise, which actually would

55
00:14:51.279 --> 00:15:08.480
be a huge impact to um, revenue for our district. Uh, again, residual uh, that would come to us. The other thing uh after governance did not meet because we didn't have anything new the department of uh education right after our week

56
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:24.720
that we would have met uh released uh guidance on the student use of internet internet enabled devices. So this is basically anything the child could bring into school that they have access to the internet. Um the governor signed into law a bell-to-bell shutdown of all those

57
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:40.160
devices and I'll be working with the administrative team on interpreting that policy. Luckily, your student handbook already has a robust um uh format and procedure for all devices, and it's a

58
00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:57.120
just a matter of crosswalking that with the new policy and regulations to to ensure the district is um hits the mark on what the law says to do. Uh and that is my report, sir. >> All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Carol. Um next is president's remarks.

59
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:15.040
Um it saddens me to hear Mr. Carol say that we're halfway through the summer already. Um that is not what I wanted to hear right now, but I look at it and say we're still in the first half of the summer. So um but on on with that um my remarks as far as the superintendent

60
00:16:15.040 --> 00:16:32.160
search uh committee has gone through the first round to of interviews. We've narrowed it down to six individuals for the second round. Those second interviews will conclude this coming week. Um, after the committee does those

61
00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:48.800
interviews, we will obviously regroup and see what we recommend to the full board or a uh final third interview with the full board. Um, that still obviously will be to to be determined. We haven't, you know, until we finish the

62
00:16:48.800 --> 00:17:04.559
interviews, you know, have our meeting, sit down, go through everything and process it, um, and make our recommendations to the full board. After that, I think we need 72 hours, I believe it is. So, we'll we'll give as much obviously notice um when that

63
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:20.319
meeting is. That'll be a standalone meeting just for that to interview the candidates. The full board will um and then determining what happens in that meeting. If we come to an agreement u majority um on the on the next person to to lead our district, that's how it'll

64
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:37.280
uh transpire. So, but um I think we have some really good qualified candidates. Um it was uh they all have a a varying of of uh experience of background. Um majority of them have worked their way

65
00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:56.000
up from teacher um to principal to vice or vice principal principal supervisor. um you know some are trying to think uh current assistant superintendent or directors or um

66
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:12.400
principles current principles. So again a great variety great background and a lot of experience at the table. So, um, we think we have a good good group of people to choose from and hopefully within the next few weeks, um, we'll be

67
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:28.320
able to report out to the public that we have somebody to lead our district in the future that we're confident with. Um, and I think that is it. Really nothing else to report in the summertime. So, hopefully everyone's enjoying their summer. All right. Next item on our

68
00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:46.480
agenda is public session. >> [clears throat] >> Barnett The Barnett Township Board of Education appreciates and welcomes public comment, advice, and suggestions, especially when it's intended to assist the board of education.

72
00:19:33.600 --> 00:19:57.200
>> Thank you. Is there anyone that like to address right here in front row? >> Hi. Uh, I'm sorry. My name is Caroline Pstera. I live at 30 Tower Lane in Barnagut and I am an employee of the district for 26 years.

73
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:13.520
I was a substitute first and then in 2012 I became the library tech at the Collins School and the Donghue School and then with reconfiguration and the number of students that were going to be at

74
00:20:13.520 --> 00:20:30.400
Collins I was told to just stay at Collins. So, that's where I am. And um I just wanted to I don't think she's here, but uh Michelle John's wrote a

75
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:47.200
beautiful, lovely letter to her staff yesterday morning and nothing but explaining to us how difficult the decision was for her

76
00:20:47.200 --> 00:21:03.520
leaving and letting us know what a wonderful team we are at Colin School and how much she appreciated

77
00:21:03.520 --> 00:21:33.120
all of us and the jobs that we do. I believe Michelle Johns and I'm speaking for the school. I'm gonna say that this school will be okay with me speaking for them. Michelle Johns was an extraordinary administrator

78
00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:50.799
as a vice principal and a principal. An amazing job that she did and always with a giggle. One thing that Michelle always had a smile on her face and she always had that giggle and she

79
00:21:50.799 --> 00:22:06.480
will always have that. We as Colin the family at Colin School and that's what we are. We are a family wish her nothing but love, support, well wishes and happiness

80
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:24.559
in her new chapter in her life because that's what she deserves. Michelle John's is a wonderful human being. She leads us, led us with her heart

81
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:49.760
and in her guidance and her daily tasks that she had to do at school. I'm sorry. I'm very nervous. like all right. >> Um, we have lasting memories and there are

82
00:22:49.760 --> 00:23:07.360
going to be lasting relationships with her and she's just a wonderful human being and she did her job amazingly. It's been tough for Colin school.

83
00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:27.679
We've had four principles in six years. So, I just have to say that for us, we still remain a family even though we've had so many changes to our front office.

84
00:23:27.679 --> 00:23:43.039
We love each other. We support each other. We give a thousand% of ourselves. And our school believes in love is the gift of self-donation. for the education

85
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:59.440
of every student in our school. K12 building is a very unique situation. This is where they begin to grow. They learn to read. They learn to do math.

86
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:19.919
It's their foundation. And without that foundation, they can't succeed. And I believe that we with all the turmoil in having four administrators in six years,

87
00:24:19.919 --> 00:24:35.600
we have completely succeeded in giving our K12 students an amazing foundation. We teach them love. We teach them kindness.

88
00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:54.080
We teach them inclusivity. We teach them to love to learn. A student will never succeed unless they love to learn. And I know my time is up. I'm I will hold it up. I will. If children don't love to learn and

89
00:24:54.080 --> 00:25:13.600
learn to value an education, regardless of how anybody feels elsewhere, they're not going to succeed. And it's so important that we foster that early foundation so that

90
00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:30.080
when they move to third, fourth, fifth, middle school, high school, they go into school feeling confident, happy, wanting to be there, knowing that their teachers are always there for them no matter what

91
00:25:30.080 --> 00:25:45.440
kind of a day that they're having. and will always be there to support them, good day or bad day. And working with Michelle, she knows that a lot of people have superpowers

92
00:25:45.440 --> 00:26:02.159
and other administrators as well saw the superpowers that some of the Collins school staff has and they allowed them to use those superpowers for the betterment of the students because it's all about the students.

93
00:26:02.159 --> 00:26:18.400
And I just wanted to publicly acknowledge Michelle because I think that she deserves it because the beautiful letter that she wrote to us.

94
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:35.039
I wanted it to be publicly known. Hopefully, she'll watch the meeting and know that we all love her and just wish her nothing but happiness in her new chapter. And we, the Collins School family, who we're a tight group, we will

95
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:51.039
always give a,000% to every one of our students at all times without fail and to each other. So we are going to continue building that wonderful foundation for all of the students of

96
00:26:51.039 --> 00:27:06.480
Barnagget and all of the students that are going to want to be in Barnagot, all future students as well. We did it for past students, we're doing it for present students, and we're going to do it for future students.

97
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:24.159
And um I thank the board for allowing me uh a little leeway on the time, but I just felt that uh we Collins wanted to acknowledge Michelle. >> Oh, thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> I appreciate it. And and on behalf of

98
00:27:24.159 --> 00:27:41.840
the board of education and um I know you know when I heard the news um I believe Mr. Carol called me right before I went to personnel committee meeting to to inform me he received a letter from her. Um I could say I was shocked. Um Mrs. John's has been you know in the roles

99
00:27:41.840 --> 00:27:58.240
that she's had in this district vice principal principal and I know when she took the role on as principal at Collins school I remember talking to her prior she was hesitant. She wasn't sure if it's something she wanted to do. Um, you know, but once she decided to do it,

100
00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:14.000
um, I mean, it was it was everything you expect from her. She was always professional. She was always, um, gave it her all, like you said, she always was there with a smile. She was always there. She was easy to talk to. She was easy to approach. Um, the kids loved

101
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:30.799
her, parents loved her. um and everywhere and anywhere she was put within the district, you know, you never had to worry or question how she would handle it, how she would respond, and the um you know, the job that she would do. It was always top-notch. Um and she will absolutely be missed in the

102
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:46.000
district moving forward. >> I'm I'm going to miss she's my partner in Cause for a Cause for Collins. So, we we work very closely in making the programs for cause for a cause successful through

104
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:20.640
she goes, she's going to make an impact on other students. So, that's without a doubt. So, you know, personally thank her very much for everything she's done in our district. Um, anybody else like to address the board? Seeing none,

111
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:17.520
step five. Step five does equate in the guide to $7,233. Um however um there will be an additional stipen of $1,540 which totals at $8773 because he will be assuming the responsibilities of head boys and girls

112
00:31:17.520 --> 00:31:34.320
cross country coach. So that's where the new total comes from. So we just want to clarify that. I know we we talked about that in athletics, but we didn't have the actual breakdown so that the public and everyone knows that step five is actually 7233 and the additional 1540 is for uh being the head coach of boys and

113
00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:50.240
