Ready, Nick? Loose. Ready? Yes. Off we go. Okay. Very good. Okay, everybody. Thank you for coming. Um, August 25th. Welcome to the first day of school. One down, 179 to go. I'm I know
Dr. STO is going to give us an update on that. Um, just a quick housekeeping. Um, President Cherelli is unavailable. She has a conflict and M. Ross, unfortunately, is not feeling well. So, queen for a day. I'm coming out of retirement. Uh, real quick, open public meeting statement. In accordance with the
requirements of the Open Public Meeting Act, chapter 231 PL 1975, I wish to announce that the New Jersey Open Public Meeting Law was enacted to ensure the right of the public to have advanced notice of and to attend meetings of public bodies at which any business affecting their interest is discussed or acted upon. In accordance with the
provisions of this act, the school district of the Chattam Board of Education has has caused notice of this meeting to be published by having the date, time, place thereof posted in the board administrative offices, sent to the clerks of the Chattam Township and the Chattam Burrow, the library of the Chadams, the Chattam Courier, the Daily
Record, and the TAP. Mr. Dquilla, would you mind taking attendance? Sandro here. Ms. Peek here. Mr. Ryan here. Mr. Smith, I'm here. Ms. Weber here and Dr. Zang seven president of the county.
Excellent. If you're um able, please join us with the pledge of allegiance. Uh flags behind Dr. Sino. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all. Excellent. Um just by way of board um comments, I just want to thank the teachers and the staff. I know Dr. Dr. STO is going to get into it, but what they pulled off this summer is nothing short than miraculous. So, with that, I'm going to
send it right over to Dr. Sertino because big day. So, as everyone knows, today was our first day of the reconfiguration in action and the students at both Lafayette and CMS were phenomenal. They were so happy to come in. They all had a
wonderful day and throughout the entire district and all of the district schools, we really had a wonderful first day of school. While there were some transportation blips otherwise districtwide, everything was extremely seamless and successful and that is very much a testament to the professionalism
and dedication of the custodians, maintainers, the teachers, principles, administrative staff. It was an excellent first day of school. So, it's a great way to start the year and I'm really thankful for everybody's hard work this summer in preparing it. Uh,
Mr. Heap last month had asked for an enrollment update from some of the new developments that are present in the town. So, just to give everyone an update, specifically Cornerstone, Arbor Green, the Ivy, and Enclave all have around 102 students total. So, there's
been an additional 102 students added to the district since the opening of of those housings uh units. Thank you. Very good. Thank you, Dr. Sino. Mr. Dquilla, um I did want to report that uh based on
the July deadline, three candidate, three of the existing board members have filed their petitions to be reelected to the board. Ms. Ross and Dr. Zang for the township and Mr. Delandro for the burrow. So, as long as there's no more there's not an excess of write in votes,
congratulations to the three of you at the, you know, preliminary to the November election. Uh, on the construction update out of the main projects, the high school roof has been completed. Uh, there's a minor complication in getting the solar panels uh reinstalled, but we're working on
that and it's being addressed. Uh, the middle school reconfiguration was completed right before school started. Uh there are a few punch list items left. The HVAC units at uh the high school, Lafayette and middle school. Uh
Lafayette's fully operational. There's two rooms down at the middle school. Uh one is unit was on back order which we knew about. Another one had a uh a malfunction which is being addressed. At the high school, there was a startup
with four rooftop units. that is being addressed. But all of the rooms uh with the exception of the one at the middle school either had room air conditioners prior to the construction or the contractor put in portable units. So everybody had air for today. So
everything was good and got minimal uh minimal complaints about temperature. So that's a plus side. Uh that's all I have. Uh anything Peter, anything that's keeping you up at night construction wise? I know you have a lot keeping up. kept me up at night up until last
Thursday, Friday, and put a little hiccup in the Saturday afternoon, but but now all is good. No concerns with the ongoing construction. Not right now. Okay. Very good. Thank you. And thank you to the board members who agreed to volunteer their time again and time away from their families. So, thank you.
Um, very good student liaison summer. Big day for you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. As many as everyone who knows um today was the first day of school for all um schools in the Chattam district. So I just have a couple things to say about that. So obviously it's pretty standard for most students but we did
have a very big and somewhat scary change for our freshman. So because of this big transition for the ninth graders um this day was a little different because there was a delayed opening. So in this time the freshmen um come in during the normal time that they would usually come in for on any
standard day and our lynx leaders at the high school kind of help acquate acu accumul acclimate. Yeah. Sorry guys, it's been a long day. Um help acclimate them to the high school and kind of be that friendly face and talk to them a little bit in the morning before they go have an assembly here, have their class
assembly, talk about kind of what the expectations are at the high school and what to kind of look out for. And then they go back to these classrooms with the links leaders and talk to them again and kind of um the links leaders help to answer any questions. So, and these are basically just underassmen that will help them throughout the rest of the
year. They don't just stop here. They help them during any gym class and are there just to be a friendly face. So, that is all I have for today. I'm sure I'm going to have a lot more as the year goes on, but yeah, all for today. Thank you. Excellent. Very good. Thank you, Summer. Congratulations on your first day. First, last day last first day. Uh very
good. Thank you. Uh, moving on to committee reports. Um, personnel, I'm the chair of that. We haven't met, but we will be meeting on September 12th. Um, you'll see all the fruits of the HR's department's labor in the agenda. There was a ton of work that happened over the summer. And Dr. Sortino, were
in good shape staffing wise, wonderful shape. We're actually fully staffed in each of the district's buildings for the first time in a long time. There may be one or two pair of professionals that we still need just from new entrance moving in. Otherwise, we're fully staffed, which is a great way to start the year. It's also a
testament to the culture and climate of the district and the professionalism that everyone dedicates. So, great news. Excellent. Thank you. Let's tell the Susu that we were able to fully staff. Uh, very good. Thank you, Dr. Sertino. Um, M. Ross is not here for curriculum. I don't think they have met either.
Correct, Mary. They will also meet on September 12th. Sending it over I'm going to send it over to Mr. Ryan for finance. Yep. Um, finance committee met last week. We received a transportation update. Um, there were three new bus
routes added, giving us a total of 11 bus routes. Uh, there are approximately 15 students that applied for subscription busing that are on the waiting list that we may not be able to accommodate due to the cost. Received a construction update. um
about uh most of the summer projects have been completed before the start of the school year with the exception of the few punch list items that Mr. Dquila just mentioned. We discussed a perdm rate of pay for teachers moving rooms
over the summer um into the different buildings uh which is part of their contract. We had some resid residency concerns that we're still evaluating. We need to obtain some more information about some
um residents that have not moved into the into their new homes yet and uh we're obtaining some more information about those situations. Um we also discussed the increasing number of free and reduced lunch
students and additional um expenses that they that we may incur based on on some of the status of that. Uh we authorized the use of drones for
football practices and we started to discuss a preliminary capital budget and some projects that would be included in next year's budget. That's it. U Mike, just a quick question. Um at one point, I don't know
if it was last meeting or the previous meeting, we talked about needing to replace the turf fields again. Uh Hos and Cougar. Um, Hos is getting particularly worn. Is there any appetite to maybe lock up Hos because it's
getting awful abused? Um, I one time I was there and I asked a gentleman if he would take his dog off the turf because the dog was peeing all over. He told me to go to hell. Sorry, Summer. That's a quote. Um, and then there was another time I was watching the ladies lacrosse like a championship game and the ref had
to stop the game, ask our previous AD to get a bag to pick up poop that was on the ladies turf field. So I I don't know if we can bring it up in committee talk about locking HOS because it's it's it's the lady's primary wears facility.
We discussed both HOS and and the other fields as part of the planning process for the next year's budget. Okay. This is specifically about locking it. Yeah. Locking it where at the front that gate so you can't run your dog in it. There's two gates. Both.
There's a gate. Yeah. For the equipment. No, there's a there's a gate we can bring drivethru through off of Ellers's Drive, but then there's one behind Ellers's Drive that goes to the woods. Oh, I don't mean the whole complex. I just mean the turf. Turf you could definitely walk. Easy.
No, no, no. I just mean the turf. Okay. Not the whole thing. I thought you were talking about replacing because I do walk my dog back there, but I always clean up after. She's never on the He's never on the turf. I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about replacing turf. I didn't realize you were talking about eliminating access to it. That's
correct. Because we can't replace it right now in order to extend its longevity. Is there any appetite to to locking it? I don't see why we we wouldn't if we can figure it out. I don't see why we wouldn't lock it if we could if it's easy enough to do
I mean it's the girl it's the lady's main. Is there a maintainer there every night at the middle school? Yeah. Or or a custodian every night. Is there a custodian till 10? So, just lock it up at like 8:00 in that dark time or something like that. Or, right,
or after the ladies are done with it. Well, which would be dark because it's not lit, right? They they do soccer practice right up till 7:30. Okay. Someone else might be on it like, you know, there might be a team or something until dark, but no reason why you
shouldn't lock it after dark. Okay. Is that a policy thing, Mr. Ryan, or is that just a what do we all think and raise your hand or I think it would I think it would be a policy issue, but I don't know. We can we can talk about it. I think it
it seems pretty simple. Yeah, I Yeah, I just I don't think we need a policy for it. It's okay. It seems like a general thing that we that maintenance would be able to do for us. Okay. Does anybody else have objections to But someone's going to have to unlock it every day because I'm sure there's teams that use it. Well, the middle school needs it for
recess. I mean, first thing in the morning, right? Someone's going to have to unlock it. Is that a Is that arduous? Procedurally, I believe we could accommodate that. We could unlock it. I don't think that that would cause an issue, Pete. Do you? No. No issues administratively. The custodians typically I don't know if
you're familiar with going back there, but where the tech office is, across from the tech office is the custodial maintainer spots. So, the custodian goes in the back way. Um, even if he didn't open it at 6:00 in the morning, it's easy enough for him to go out at 7:30 before school starts. Okay?
You know, and if people are cutting through walking to the school from Ellis Drive, they don't need to walk on the turf to get to school. That's correct. Even if the, you know, the PE teacher opened it at first class, it's not a big crisis. Okay. Let me rephrase it. Does anybody have any objection? Oh, Sally, you're
about Does anybody have any objections to preserving Hosfield and locking it up? No, I think we should lock it up. And I'm just wondering if it becomes procedurally difficult to do a cougar field where there's no custodian because we should be locking both of them,
right? All I know is people go down to hos quite often because it's in a neighborhood. So kids go kids are there all the time. Sure. Which I don't mind happy friendly voices. It's all, you know, they're there a little later at night. Yeah. But they shouldn't really be in the tour because that can get ruined.
Right. There you have it. My understanding is that some kids are riding ebikes on the turf. There's also been a large amount of excrement and garbage, broken glass, things of that nature that are creating some safety concerns. And the fields are
incredibly expensive to replace. So, I think our goal is to try to maintain the current field throughout the school year if possible so that it's not a safety hazard. So, what are your thoughts on Cougar as well? Are there ebikes up there or it gets less after hours used because of where it's situated? I think my
understanding is less of an issue at Cougar, more of an issue at house from what our athletic director has shared with me. Okay. Well, then I guess we'll wait to see Peter. The other issue at Cougar, the the fence around the turf field is larger so it's
easier to keep people out. The other thing, there is a I guess an access driveway with a big gate to get a truck on. That should always be locked. And to access Cougar, it's kind of like the turnabout. So an individual can get in,
but it's much harder to get a bicycle or any other equipment in. Now, five people can go with a case of beer and sit on the bleachers and drink. You know, that won't keep them out. But Well, I'm more concerned about the young cherub that lit the field on fire. Yeah. So that they can walk through and
we just need to preserve them. They're like a million and a half dollars to replace each. I I I know. I mean, we can lock both. I think the the whole reason they were open in the past is trying to let the community have access to the fields. Yeah. This is the definition of one bad apple.
Yeah. If the community is doesn't want to take care of what they're allowed, then you know, but you know, then it becomes a safety hazard. If you have ditches in the turf, we're going to have more ACL tears. We're going to have more ankle twists. We're going to have more kids getting hurt. And again, not the whole complexes, just the turf. I get
have had it on the grass, but clean up after your dog, please. Um, even on the grass. Yeah, even on the grass. I mean, it's not that. Okay, so no objections. No objections. No objection. Is that okay, Dr. STO? Yes. Thank you.
Very good. Thank you. Um, uh, policy. Moving on, Mr. Ryan. Okay. Policy committee met last week. The, uh, sunscreen and spectator policies are ready to go. You'll see those on the agenda tonight for adoption.
Uh we continue to discuss 5118. That's the non-resident policy. Um we're going to continuously review the policy for modifications because every once in a while a unique situation comes up uh that may not be addressed in
that policy. So that's going to be a constant uh revision of that. I think uh further discussion was had about free and reduced lunch which I discussed in the finance update. Um the cost the the
number of students that are eligible has increased significantly. Um, we may need a more detailed policy about additional items that may be covered under that specification such as yearbooks and other things that we may want to or need
to uh provide for that segment. And the healthy workplace policy, we're continuing to explore samples from other districts to see how we can improve that. Thank you, Mike. Um my quick question on
the expectations for conduct of you know visitors spectators. How how does it get enforced if one of our parents misbehaves at a visiting field or a visiting spectator misbehaves at our field? I know we have we can we can impose some sort of discipline in
our own facilities. But is it just is it just too bad you can do what you want visiting? Our students are still subject to the code of conduct. the students. I'm concerned they're away. I don't know what we can do about our parents. Okay. Away at a I didn't know if it was discussed or if
there was some because everybody has to adopt this. Correct. Yeah. I don't think the policy made reference to on our on our field, right? I think what would occur is if it's a visiting family, you know,
watching a game on our field or we're at another school and a parent of ours acts inappropriately, the athletic directors would be made aware and then the dis the discipline or consequence would be imposed in accordance with the policy. The goal is really to monitor spectator
behavior in all the games. Sure. Regardless of the location. Okay. Thank you. I thought maybe there was some reciprocity since everybody had to adopt this. Okay. It's purposely vague. Yeah. About a way. Okay. I called this the don't throw a
water bottle at the ref policy which actually happened. Somebody didn't like a handball call. Yeah. Tool. All righty. Thank you, Mr. Ryan. Um, any other questions for any committee? No. Excellent. any liaison
reports. Uh the only thing I'd like to mention in the burrow um which impacts the township and the burrow, they're running a uh hometown heroes banner campaign. I councilman here is um on the committee for selecting. So it's any family member
or any veteran in the township or the burrow, you can apply and you get one of those hometown banners with your family member on it and their dates of service and a picture of them in uniform. So, if you can apply, it's on the burrow website, right? Thank you. Perfect. Again, that goes for not just a burrow,
it's township and burrow, and it's family members. It doesn't have to be somebody that only lived here. It can be a family member. Okay, great. Uh, very good. Then, I would like to make a motion to pass the minutes of the July 14th public session.
I second it. All those in favor. Who has to abstain? Peter. All good. Okay. All those in favor? I opposed extensions. Duly noted. Minutes from July 14th past 70.
Excellent. Uh we're moving on to our first opportunity for public commentary. Um, hearing of the citizens during the public commentary section of the agenda is an opportunity for any member of the public to be heard about issues which are or are not topics scheduled for the current meeting. To help facilitate an
orderly meeting and to permit all to be speakers to be heard, um, please limit your comments to a reasonable length of time. Um, if you would, the microphone is back there and there's a sign-in sheet if anybody would like to make a comment. Mr. Heat, Mr. Strickland, Mr. Strickland, did I mess up that Hometown
Heroes? Okay, if I did, just correct me, please. Happy summer to all. Uh, it's closing fast. Uh, quick comment. Um, it's kind of disturbing to hear that uh our turf fields might be getting trashed. Uh,
especially uh people riding ebikes. Um, these ebikes are not going to something's going to happen. It's not going to come to a good end. The police are at their wits end about these things. And I'm just wondering um is it do you have now or is it possible to put
cameras uh near the fields? Everybody else has got cameras. Uh so why not you? Thanks. We do. Do we do Oh, sorry, Mr. Councilman Strickland. Justin Strickland, 44 Minton Avenue. Um
along those lines, the ebikes and the Mr. Heap. Um, I think it uh I I volunteer to work with the police department as a member of the council to try to like partner with the the you know the schools to maybe do like an um during open house maybe have the police
show up at open house and have a table set up to educate parents about ebikes if you know you guys are interested in doing that. uh just so that there's more awareness because I think a lot of times the um parents part may not be fully understanding uh the magnitude of their
purchase and maybe the laws associated with their purchase. So um you know the police are there they to help and they have a lot of great information that they can share. So, if parents are purchasing, they can either reach out directly to the uh Chattam Burough Police Department and they'll happily
share as much information as they possibly have or maybe we can partner to to also share information at an open house. So, I'm going to sign my name and follow the rules. Thank you, sir. Any other public comments? Question. They have any kind of program
in the schools that teach kids how to how to ride their bikes on the field in a respectful manner around town. Bicycle safety. Yes, there is. There are bicycle because they did when I was a kid. I was wonder if they still do such a thing. That still exists. Yes. What's that?
The rodeo. The bike rodeo. Yes. Okay. That's third grade, isn't it? It's a long time ago. Yeah. Um, I'd have to look into specifically what grades it's offered, but there are there is also information offered throughout health courses, but I
can circle back with you. Do you need a license to drive those? Uh, moped license, the ebikes? Yeah. To my understanding, no, they just saddle up and they're going 40 miles hour without a helmet on, anywhere the hell they want to go. It's kind of scary. The ones that go like 25 miles an hour,
you don't need it. Uh, Councilman Strickland, on the ebikes, um, there's different kind of classifications, class one, two, and three. And if it goes, if it's a class three, you do, it is qualified as like a moped, and you do need a license. And if they have those, then they're technically not supposed to be able to
drive them or ride them if they're unless they're a certain age and they have an insurance and registration. And um there is a there's a mileage limit that if it goes over a certain mileage, it then qualifies for like having to have a license and a permit and
insurance and registration. So the police department has all the information. It's very good. So if you're you're interested in that. Thank you. Any other comments? Okay, we're going to Dr. No. Okay, we're
going to close public commentary. Um, Councilman Strickland, I hope to see your banner up there. Uh, Councilman Strickland is a career army veteran, so I want to see your banner banner right in the center of town. Is there any um Do you think the parents don't know that they need insurance,
registration, moped licenses, or you think they do know? Because you're spending these are not cheap, right? They're like $2,500. The class 3 ebikes, they go like 50 miles an hour. That's what we're talking about. They're not They're motorcycles. So, they're like fast, faster, and faster. like the the little ones that go
20 mph and assist you in going right there. That's the problem. Huh. Somehow we got to get that out, Justin. To so maybe folks don't even know the what they need and but I agree with Mr. Heave. Something something's going to happen and it's not going to be good.
No, it will not be good. So, I know we talked about this before when they were simply just bikes, right? uh about potentially, you know, banning them on school property because kids are flying down Lafayette. Uh but those were
just bicycles at that point, right? Uh now they're getting more sophisticated and faster and maybe we can think about I don't know if we can, but maybe eliminate the use of class three, those class 3 ebikes on school grounds. That
would prevent class 3 ebikes from flying down Lafayette to get to the middle school. But who's going to police that? How are you going to know what the difference is between a three and a one? I don't know. There's no way to know. They're all Well, that would be up to Chief Miller and Chief Gibbons to ask their class two
officers if they could check licenses. But I mean, that would be their call, you know, law enforcement and ticket them while they sit on the bike racks, put a ticket on their bike. Someone's going to get hit by a car or hit somebody else, hit a pedestrian with one of those bikes, right? It's going to happen, especially when they come the opposite
way because you're not looking that way. Yeah, but I but I think you have to there there's a different level of them. Someone can also get hit by a car doing 30 miles an hour straight down a hill. Yep. In a regular bike and standing on top of the steering wheel or whatever they do,
right? Like we used to do as kids. I don't know what where you Okay, Summer, do you have any thoughts on that or No, you're staying out of it and I'm I'm cool with you're staying out of it. I I I do see a lot of kid I mean I don't know if that works but um I don't know
there's definitely a lot of kids I feel like that use it for transportation that I feel like it's important for but I feel like there's there's a fine line between like you know if you're going to be really dangerous with it. So not really sure okay ideal what to do about it but there is I feel like there's there's a lot of important aspects to having that as well.
Sure. Okay. If you can ask your contemporaries to keep them off our turf field that would be swell. She drives her contempor her contemporaries are driving now. She said they don't care about the others anymore. I think at the middle school last year, didn't the police come and do a workshop for the middle schoolers about it and
maybe that's something we could do again? That's absolutely something we could do again. They also came to the high school to check students as they were arriving on campus to see what type of bike they were riding and remind them the rules around it. That was extremely helpful and we can I can absolutely
reach out for that again. Oh, that'd be great. I think that would be helpful. New year, might as well refresh it. Um, excellent. Okay, so we're going to move on to the regular agenda, which is action-packed. Um, I'm going to start with personnel action items A1 through A25,
and there are no addendums, right? Yes, there is none. Uh, can I get a second on A1 through A25? Thank you. I just wanted to call out a retirement item number one. Um Beth Pollson over at Washington Avenue. She's retiring at the
end of this year. Gosh, she's been here for such a long time. She's had such an impact on so many students at Washington Avenue. So I know you're going to be here for the full year, Mrs. Pollson, but thank you for your tireless service. Any other questions on personnel?
All right. Agenda items A1 to A25. Miss Allen, yes. Mr. Delandro, yes. Miss Peek, yes. Mr. Ryan, yes. Mr. Smith, yes. Miss Weber, yes. And Dr. Zang, yes.
Agenda items pass 70. Perfect. Thank you very much. Moving on to finance. Mr. Smith. Yes. I would like to move B1 to B18 to a vote. Um, we have two donations. One is from the Special Olympics
uh New Jersey Unified Champion School Grant Program in the amount of $3,000 for the work performed by Christine Kavalo and Amy Schwarz. It's to be used for the CHS Play Unified program this year. Thank you for that. And then we also have uh a donation from the
wellness grant uh of 24,000 from the school health insurance fund to fund wellness activities coordinated by human resources. Thank you. Thanks Sam. Thank you.

have two student teachers. Thank you for Mary, sorry, Dr. Donu, for bringing on student teachers because there's such a shortage and if we can get them early and young and hook them in, yeah, you know, it's a great gift and it's and it's a tremendous amount of work for your staff. It's not an easy
task. They're invested. The best part is that one of them is part of the TAs to teachers program and we've had a lot of success with that with our pair of professionals that enroll in Ramipo and then become teachers that then we have the opportunity to hire. It's the best of both worlds.
Yeah, that's fantastic. But not without work on your part. So, thank you. Um U Go ahead. Go ahead, Peter. I'm sorry. All right. Agenda item C1 through C6. Ms. Allen. Yes. Mr. Delandro. Yes. Miss Peek, yes. Mr. Ryan,
yes. Mr. Smith, yes. Miss Weber, yes. And Dr. Zang, yes. Pass agenda items pass 70. Great. Thank you. Over to you, Mr. Ryan, for policy. Okay, moving agenda item D1 for a vote.

get students from the Ivy and Cornerstone um Arbor Green appears to have slowed down okay Arbor Green's old skate parker's Charlie Browns Ivy's down on river and the fourth One is the Christmas tree farm. Yes.
Enclave. Okay. Yes. Okay. How many units are there? So, the only one the two that are still sending kids with the IV and the cornerstone. Ivy and Cornerstone. Yes. Okay. Thank you.

safety. Um, okay, great. No additional public commentaries. All right. Then I make a motion to close the meeting. Is that a record? That's a No, not a record. I've done it in 28 minutes. I think I think it's a record
