Her actions show honesty, compassion, and a strong sense of what is right. She is a quiet leader in our classrooms as well as a wonderful example of what it
means to live with integrity. Congratulations, Ashlin. From the Joseph T. Donahghue School, we have Hayden Hires. Hayden is a role model for her peers. She is the first to lend a helping hand to others and always the first to follow the expectations both in

Congratulations, Hayden. From the Celeste Collins School, we have Khloe Kil Kilichochowski Kilichachowski. I would like to nominate Khloe for a character of integrity. She is a student and a friend who can be trusted, demonstrates responsibility,
and is willing to give a helping hand to anyone who is in need. Khloe makes smart choices and works hard to improve her skills.

Waggate Education Association leaison, Mrs. Morganov. Turn the floor over to you. Hi, thank you. As we approach the final weeks of the school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on the work that's been done and highlight our ongoing efforts to ensure a smooth and successful close to the academic year.
First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the dedication to our staff, teachers. The dedication of our staff, teachers, students, and families. Their hard work, resilience, and commitments to learning have brought us to this point, and we're proud of the growth and achievements we've seen across the
district. In preparation for the end of the year, we're actively coordinating many fun activities including Memorial Day singalong organized by teachers Danielle Peragan, Terresa Lustenberg, Marissa Bedrose, and Margie Choka for vets and families at the Joseph G.
Donnyoo where ice cream was provided by BA Grant money. We look forward to the next threeish weeks of school filled with fun activities. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Morgraph. Appreciate it. Um, next item on our agenda is our state
New Jersey school board's representative, I believe. It was Regina, who is not here. No, the state. Oh, the state is Sandra. Sorry, I get confused. Sorry. All right, I'll turn it over to Mr. Churnney.
Hello everyone. Uh, on May 10th, the delegate assembly gathered at the conference center at Mercer in West Windsor. Delegates from across the state convene to shaping the association's future through policy discussions, leadership reports, and installation of
new officers. The resolution committee put forth three resolutions which were reviewed and approved by delegates. First resolution was affirming New Jersey school boards should use their existing authority to support esports as
a value as VA valuable competition and award varsity letters as they see fit. Arnneigget was recognized as one of the first district to imple implement this and now other districts are following our lead. I'd like to recognize
personally John Garmano. He was the district's leader on this endeavor since 2021 and now other schools are copying our lead. So, congratulations, John. Um, second resolution was advocating for the state to modify the school nur nurse
endorsement criteria by eliminating the bachelor's degree and specific New Jersey Department of Ed curriculum requirements, suggesting school specific classes instead. New Jersey School Board Association's belief that all necessary
steps should be taken to address the school nurse shortage and increase the number of eligible candidates. Third resolution was to support the inclusion of excused absences for students taking necessary steps to enter the skilled trades. The subcommittee recommended
language that the New Jersey School Board Association's belief that students should be permitted a limited number of excused absences for skilled trade related activities as students prepare for rewarding careers after high school
graduation. And that was the end of the assembly. All right. Thank you very much, Miss Churnney. Appreciate it. Um item 11 on our agenda is our Ocean County, New Jersey school board representative. And I will turn it over to Miss Continansza for that. Okay. Um I'm going to re be reporting out for um
Regina Tarnowski. Um the Ocean County uh school board meeting was held uh April 30th. It was the end of year meeting. Um we um went over the Ocean County Teacher of the
Year awards. Um the Ocean County Teacher of the Year was giving her award that night at the meeting. Awards were also given out to Ocean County board members that reached their 10 through 20 years of service. Um that night our own board
member um Regina Tarnowski was elected as vice president of the Ocean County, New Jersey school boards and the next meeting will be held in September. Um yeah, sure. Okay.
What? Just hold on. Yeah. So, it is my honor to recognize and thank Mr. Scott Sarno for his 10 years of dedicated service on the Barnett Board of Education. Over the past decade, Scott has provided steady leadership, including during some particularly challenging times for our
district. His commitment to sound governance, support for students and staff, and unwavering focus on doing what's right for the Barnett students has left a lasting impact. Congratulations on this milestone, and thank you for your years of service and guidance. Woohoo.
Thank you. and long years. [Applause] Well, thank you on that. I appreciate it. Um 10 actually 11 years going on finishing 11 years I believe at this point. So again thank you. I appreciate
it. I don't you know to me it's just I enjoy doing it the reasons you know these kids seeing this every day. So it's I don't know just it is a you know a great feeling each year
this time of year especially um and to get this and surprise is a uh just a nice little thing at the end of the year. So I appreciate thank you for taking the time to do it. All right, next items on our agenda is our committee discussions. Each month, uh,
chair of each committee will kind of report out what's happened in their committee the previous month. I will start out with finance committee and Miss Troowski is the chairperson, but Miss Continza will fill us in on finance. Um, thank you. The finance uh committee
met on uh May 21st. Um, if you'll notice on the agenda, we have our monthly resolutions that we have every month. Um, you'll also notice, excuse me, that our finance agenda is a little longer this month due to our annual renewals.
Um, so we have all our annual renewals for finance that are listed all on our agenda tonight and um, our next meeting will be held on June 18th. All right. Thank you. Um, number two is athletics.
Chairperson is Mr. Fedorsk. Good evening everybody. Uh, the athletics committee met on May 19th. Um, just like finance, this is a rather large uh agenda with motions um as we're hitting the end of the year and kind of getting things uh
in motion for next year. Um, you'll see on the agenda roughly well 32 motions. Um, a majority of it, uh, discusses, uh, athletic teams going out to certain programs. I'm not going to go through all 32 of them. Um, but we did highlight
at the board's recommendation. Um, you'll see annotated in there what's going to cost the district versus not cost. Most everything is no cost to the district. Um, there's a couple things in there where they may be a registration fee or or something something very minuscule. Uh, but a majority of what
you have up there is no cost to the district. We have three camps uh set up. Uh the Barnett basketball fifth annual boys youth summer camp. Uh that will uh occur Tuesday, July 8th to Thursday, July 10th. Again, no cost to the
district. There may be a registration fee for participants. Um but they'll just be using our facilities here. There is a girls summer youth basketball camp Monday, July 7th to Thursday, July 10th. Again, no cost to the district. However, there may be a registration fee for
those that want to participate. Uh if you go down further the list, uh there was another camp in here down below, but again, it was the same thing. There was no uh cost to the
uh to the district. Uh we did go over uh equipment at board's recommendation. Mr. Jamanna, we'll have a list of any equipment that was disposed of for next meeting. Um we talked about that briefly. Um, as of right now, it was just like a few field hockey sticks and rather than generating a whole document
just for that, we'll compile everything for the end of the for u next month's meeting which will occur on July 19th and it'll be much smaller than this one probably more or less some coaching positions. Um, but
you'll see schedules in here and you'll see some coaching recommendations as well. That is all. All right. Thank you, Mr. Fedorsk. Uh, next committee is buildings, grounds, transportation, and food services. Miss Washburn is the chairperson. Sure. The committee
reviewed several updates across departments. Neutraserve reported positive student engagement with recent food initiatives such as sushi offerings and customizable sandwich options and noted ongoing collaboration with buildings and grounds on summer maintenance projects. Apparent concern
regarding online ordering was uh figured out, no longer an issue. Facilities updates included successful school events, preparations for graduation, and scheduled concrete replacement at BHS and Collins. Um, current employee was trained as a certified locksmith.
Transportation is preparing for DMV inspections, ESY routing, and a transition to new routing software. Um, electrical vehicle planning is progressing with rebate submissions complete, new bus deliveries expected by July, hopefully. Uh, we'll see. The out
of out of district budget remains on track and the team is already planning for the upcoming school year and the next meeting will be held on June 16th. All right. Thank you, Miss Washburn. Um, education committee is chaired by Mrs. Churnney. I'll turn the floor over to
her. Thank you. The education committee meeting met on May 20th to discuss several key items. You'll see on tonight's agenda motions for approval of book donations to Lilian Dumpy School from the Bridge of Books Foundation. The
district's comprehensive equity plan for the year 2025 to 2028. Plans for the high school uh Barnagate High School senior trip were reviewed in wellness services for staff through Garden State therapy group were supported
at were discussed and supported at no cost to the district. We also discussed field trips across grade levels. Several motions relating to college placements, continuing education, and staff workshops were reviewed and discussed.
And the highlights include Barnagget being named a 2025 best community for music education for the sixth straight year in a row, which is pretty amazing. Seniors Daniel Hoffman and Madison Rodriguez have been selected to film a
series of statewide safety education videos as part of their safety ambassador program. These videos will help train future student leaders across New Jersey and will be filmed at Robertwood Johnson Hospital after graduation. and Nolan Nan, I think
that's how you pronounce his last name, a student in the gifted and talented program, placed third nationally and was honored by the New Jersey state winner in the fall uh 2024 Invest Write Contest, a national writing competition
that integrates financial concepts with critical thinking and communication skills. And we also have Jaden Lamb, a high school uh student at Barneut High School, wrote an essay that led to teacher Alexis Campur Amore being
selected as a winner in the Applebee's Above and Beyond teacher contest. Miss Campo Amore will receive $500 classroom sponsorship and a class celebration at Applebee's in Manahin.
Lastly, the preliminary NJGPA results for Barnagget High School show continued improvement, which is very good. Um, our next meeting will be June 17th. All right. Thank you, Miss Churnney. Um, next committee is
governance committee. It is chaired by Miss Continenc. Thank you, Mr. Sarno. Um, our governance committee met on May 21st. On tonight's agenda for approval, um you will see the following motions. Um there's a second
reading for policy 3124 for teaching staff members, policy 4124 for support staff, and policy 9163. The committee reviewed and discussed the second readings of these policies, and all the committee members
were in favor of moving these motions to the full board. Um motion number two is um 3270 for the teaching staff members. The committee discussed the additional language added to this policy and we
will further review for a second reading at our next committee meeting. Tonight it's on for a first reading. The committee also discussed in new business two policies that will be revisited at our next governance meeting. Policy
7441, electronic surveillance in school buildings and on school grounds and policy 204 30 co-curricular activities. Our next governance meeting will be held June 18th.
All right. Thank you, Miss Continza. Um, next is personnel committee. I am the chairperson of that. We met on May 19th. Um, as you can see on the agenda, there are several um, hirings, I think. Let me look. I
think we have one retirement. Uh, Miss Lette Z, full-time power professional from the Horbel School is retiring. So, we can thank her for her uh, service in our district. Um, we have some uh, new hires. You can see our new um,
instructor for the Why am I at a loss now for what it is? The OOTC. Sorry, I just see the thing here. ROC, Mr. Falconee um is taking over. So, we're excited about that. Um with his background, his
experience. Um we have several staff members, teachers, and par professionals in our ACES pro. Sorry, I woke everybody up. And our ACES program. [Music]
Um just going through here some more renewals. Uh seeing our um extended year uh school summer uh some hirings for that and there's a lot of things just
getting prepared for summer stuff that happens over the summer even though most feel that school ends in June. school's year round uh thing here. So, there's stuff going on all year. Um, chaperones and I think that's about it.
Our next meeting will be June 16th. Um, our last committee is our uh new newly formed special ed AC aces um committee and Mr. Vorsick is the chairperson. Yes. Thank you. Um, again,
good evening all. Apologize for the coughing. It seems that uh I've gotten attacked by pollen and it is killing me right now. Um the special ed aces committee met on May 9th. Um first and foremost I want to thank Dr. Satwis, Mr.
Furantino, Mrs. Shork, and everybody else um you know that was there in the room. I thought it was a very productive discussion and just appreciated the opportunity to you know be part of it. Um, I'll go down because there is quite a bit, but I think it's important, you know, that everybody goes through. I'll
try not to, uh, read it verbatim. Um, you know, when we essentially got in, we discussed right off the bat what the purpose of the the committee was. Uh, you know, first and foremost, it is temporary. Um, it's not not going to be here permanent. Um but you know discussed uh you know that really the
board's there to provide recommendations just listen to to uh the staff and what they want to do and just try to help uh guide that decision making you know as we move forward uh and to be a sounding board um for the staff for the faculty and staff as well as the uh the affected
parents uh in our district. Um, so we talked about that. Uh, we talked about uh several uh options and trainings that were going to go on. Um, Gary Whitson from the director of POAC autism services uh was one of those that
were discussed. Uh, we talked about two trainings that would be offered that Gary believes would be very beneficial to the school. Um, most of those trainings or some of those trainings are free. So, I think that's the direction we're going to try to try to move towards.
um looking at increased visibility and oversight of our uh self-contained team or self-contained programs. Um you know, and what that looks like for the ACES wing specifically as it stands. Um there was discussion about the perception of
signing in and out on a clipboard about maybe looking about another option to uh to track that. So there'll be more to follow on that. for right now. That's the process they're going to go through until, you know, we figure out something a little bit more uh updated. Um, and there were some reasons for that is
which we can we can talk offline with. Um, brought up concern again brought up concerns about the clipboards. Uh, like I just said, we talked about um badges to access those classrooms and all that is in uh but that comes with a cost. um
talked about cameras uh which has come up uh as quite a bit. Um so again, there's still more discussion to be had on that that they're going to pull some data and some information together and we'll discuss at future meetings. Um we're looking at a third party law
group or excuse me a third party audit uh with the uh macheda law group, mada macha um which is great because they're in district so we utilize them already. um talked about what increased power professional training could look like.
Um looking at a possibility of a 2-hour training prior to a new power professional coming into the uh into the district. Um talked about community involvement. Uh we just had the strategic planning. I'm not sure I don't want to step on any
toes if anyone's going to talk about that, but most of the board members did attend strategic planning um which was held on May 9th. Uh I got to say it was, you know, refreshing to see a lot of community members that come in there um just from my time walking through. Uh
there was a lot of great ideas that were brought out not just by the affected ACS parents, but folks that are coming into the district or potentially going to have their students enrolled in that program next year. So, it was just kind of like the the now and the future um
really came together. So, I don't know where it followed up uh on there. I had to leave a little bit earlier. Uh but like I said, um the conversation in there was was very good. Um you know, and very productive. Uh see where we're
at. Talked about increased inclusion opportunities for ASUS students and what that may look like. There's more information to follow on that. Um so we're right now um there is a daily schedule for ACES that includes going to different schools for particular activities and age
appropriate uh celebrations but we're going to look to see how we can expand upon that um you know if the program stays the the way it is at the moment. Uh the onboarding process like we just said about the ESS paras um that come in for for the subs about having a video so
that they understand what they're getting themselves into. So, we're getting qualified individuals, folks that not, you know, not just that they're they're the right fit uh education wise, but they they're just a good fit just in general. Um that they
know the uh issues and circumstances that they're about to get themselves into to make sure that this is what they want to do. We don't have somebody who just says, "I quit halfway through the day." Not that that has happened. Um but looking, you know, looking at items for that to try to beef up that um you know,
knowledge for those that are coming in. Uh HWC training, handle with care. Um that's going to be pending board approval. Uh that's a program uh that works with uh you know those individuals that are
in the classrooms. Uh that's pretty much it just for kind of cliffnotee version of it. Uh we did agree to meet again June 16th. I think one of the things Scott, you know, I'd like to speak with you is, you know, now we've got it started. We also have to look at where we're going to cut it off
at. So probably, you know, a good idea would be after the the follow on the start of the school year just to see how things are going. But we can talk about that at a different time. So that's all I have for that. Um like I said, I appreciate it. I do have a couple items for good to order if I could while I do have the mic. Um, one of those, and I
should have brought it up in athletics. Uh, in our athletic uh, committee meeting, we did uh, have some discussion about some employees that we thought were noteworthy to bring up today. Uh, one of them being Rob Parker uh, deals with the fields and the maintenance of
the fields. Uh, and we just, for everybody knows, we've had a ton of rain come through here and he's really gone above and beyond. you see him all times, all hours out there making sure that those fields are ready for the kids. Uh specifically the baseball fields, I believe it was correct, Mr. Jamano. Um
as well as Chris Deco, another he's our night uh ma maintenance manager. Um we had an issue with the girls softball team where a couple of the girls had throughout the day schedules got kind of wanky and uh they couldn't get back into the classroom to get their equipment and they had a huge game the next day and
Mr. Deco off hours on his own time in the middle of a function left agreed to meet the girls here and you know let them in the school over the weekend. So just you know my point being there is we don't have just great people inside the classrooms we have them outside as well too and it's you know it's note
noteworthy. Um which leads me to and I'm sorry I'm a little bit longwinded tonight but this one's near and dear to my heart. I had the privilege uh last week as we kind of just celebrated the unofficial start of summer that we know as Memorial Day. I was able to attend
two events uh in the district. Uh one being in um Horbel School, the other in the Joseph T. Donahghue school that were, you know, revolved around Memorial Day. Uh I said this last year when Mrs. Germano ran it. Um, it's great to see
uh as the world continues to move forward, we're developing more history and it's difficult at times to figure out what's going to be really discussed inside the classroom. Um, so we're relying on a lot of times on programs and how do we do that effectively that's
really going to meet the criteria and really gets the message across. And you know, like I said, uh, it was great to be there. I'm going to say some names in a second. Um, having been a veteran myself, fortunately, I have I did not have to go through the tribulations of
losing losing somebody overseas, but lost several of my comrades when they brought a lot of their demons home, unfortunately. So, um, it's great that we, you know, we remember that day. And I'm just going to go right down a list here because I did ask for names just to
put it together. Um, in Miss San's, uh, group over at the Joseph T. Donnu school, the fourth grade classes of Miss Lustenberger, Mrs. Perman, Mrs. Bedrose, and Mrs. Shoka uh came together uh put on a great assembly for us, and that was uh you
know, I guess MCED by Miss Baron and Miss Litner. Um I know it was the first time you guys did it. Uh I was sitting there watching them. I know they were kind of nervous because they were having some AV difficulties, but you know, they hit they hit it on all cylinders and it was great. Uh for Dr. Sactton's group, the second year I've been able to attend
it in Horbelt, uh, certainly did not disappoint. Um, Christine Cooper, BJ Warsam, Anthony Archio, Dana Hermani, um, and Joe Falconee from here from the ROC uh, were were awesome there. Uh, I got
to say, I walked out of the room, probably the best best part of that day, uh, was being serenated by the entire gymnasium to Lee Grinwood's God Bless USA. Uh, I've heard that song at nauseium at times on redeployments. Uh, but it was something special the other
day to hear that. So, I appreciate the time on the floor and I yield back to you. Thank you very much, Mr. Fedorsk. Um, next item on our agenda is superintendent highlights information. I'll turn the floor back over to Dr. Lawless. So, I just have a couple of
highlights that I want to throw out there. Uh first, if uh you are free on June 22nd, uh we're going to be doing the kickoff the summer with Jersey Shore Blue Cause as they welcome the Barnick Township School District on Sunday uh June 22nd at 105. You can enjoy a special performance by the BHS select
choir as they proudly sing the national anthem and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Pause for a Cause uh which is our internal um uh program that uh helps support family Barnagate families in need. Uh, shout out to Will Brazil, uh, Will Brazil, who was named
boys lacrosse, uh, coach of the year. And last, but certainly not least, I just want to give a shout out to BHS senior Kaden Zakai Brown Shelley, who is recognized as the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office student recognition award ceremony as the 2025 unsung hero recipient. So, congratulations to all
them. Thank you very much, Dr. Lawis. Um, next item on our agenda is president's remarks. I just couple things I want to touch on. Um, one is I know Mr. Fedorsic had brought it up about the um the workshop
that we had with the parents from special ed, the ACES program um a couple weeks ago about two weeks ago. Um, want to thank the parents that did come out um staff members that came out were there um obviously New Jersey school boards who put it together and Dr.
Latis. Um it was uh again I I sat at the table with the ACES program, a lot of the parents that were there. hearing their um feedback in the different little uh uh workshops that we were doing again gave you me I could say
specifically gave me a great feeling of some of the stuff that they were dealing with some of the concerns that they were had they had um you know some things that they're looking long range short range um even things that have been brought up in the past I mean things that they um very legitimate concerns
and and questions and again I think by the end night as we sat there until almost 10:00 um going through things. Um we came up with a lot of different ideas on some things to kind of um you know resolve some of the issues
to put things in place moving forward. Um we got a lot of great feedback on on the parents as far as what their thoughts were with the ASUS program specifically moving forward. Um, so again, I I know a lot came out of that and it'll help shape us moving into the
new year. Um, some of the things we're going to look to implement, some of the things we're to change, um, some of the additions we're going to try to make. Um, but again, I really do appreciate it and and even the staff that was there, the staff was very engaged, um, very
open with things that, uh, you know, that that they had concerns with just as well as the parents. Um, so again, it was a great workshop and um, you know, I I think it's going to push us as a board in the right directions on a lot of m uh, changes that we're going to look to
make with the program and with special ed overall uh, moving into the next year. So again, thank you. Thank you very much for coming out and working with us on that. Um, secondly, my again, every year I've been sitting up here, it's that time of year.
I know Memorial Day, the summers began. Um, but it was also a great time of year for our students, many of them at the high school, graduation time, parties, proms, um, all sorts of things happening. Only thing, again, I get we always preach,
always say, is please, please, this time of year, I know not there's many kids sitting here, but again, be smart. As parents, please make sure your kids are safe. It is an exciting part of year, exciting time for them, exciting part in life. Um, but again, just be smart, make
good decisions for this next month leading up to graduation, whether it's graduation high school, graduation, 8ighth grade. Um, you know, it's important. Uh, you know, safety is a huge concern this time of year. And, you know, I hate to see where kids make bad
choices and bad decisions and we never want to see something like that here in Barnett. So, please just be smart this time of year. That's all I can uh beg of you, please. With that, next we will move into item 15, our agenda, which is public
session. The Baringa Township Board of Education appreciates and welcomes public comment, advice, and suggestions, especially when it's intended to assist the board of education.
