also thank you to those of you at home watching along on the live stream. Uh while the district was closed last week for spring break uh the world celebrated uh assistant principles appreciation week and on behalf of the district and the board of education I wanted to recognize our very hardworking assistant
principles uh Mrs. Oliver, Mrs. App, Miss Nelson, Mr. Miley, Mrs. Calazadi and Mr. Wilkinson. Thank you so much for the job you do for our students that is often underappreciated but sincerely valued by all of us. Uh, also I want to offer special congratulations to Mrs.
Sher Spear. She is our director of early childhood education and she was recently recognized by the Burlington County Principles and Supervisors Association as the visionary leader director for Burlington County. So congratulations Mrs. Spear. And before we meet next week, speaking of Mrs. here. May 4th
through 8th is teacher appreciation week and we do an awful lot here to recognize our fantastic teachers and we're looking forward to uh many teacher appreciation events and thank you to CASA and members of the public and our local businesses who help to support these efforts and show our teachers how much that they are
appreciated and valued. Uh the following students are the fifth grade Battle of the Books winners from this year. The team will travel to East Hampton Community School on Friday uh April 17th for the Burlington County battle. So we wish them a lot of luck to Hunter Anert, Grace Bivven, Sophia Hitchcock,
Elizabeth McCoy, and Emma McHugh. At the new Alb School, students and staff participated in the principal March challenge with students earning pirate coins and classes earning points for demonstrating safe, respectful, and responsible behavior. All throughout the month, students earned coins for their
classes independently and for their grade levels during lunch, recess specials, and throughout the day. Winning staff and students received various prizes ranging from lunch with the administration and a friend, pajamas and denim days, extra recess, and an afternoon movie celebration. Congratulations to all the winners and those efforts to um promote a positive
climate in the new albony school. Quick update for the public on our referendum. The next step that we are anticipating is a presentation before the Cinnamon Township Planning Board to present the building improvements as well as proposed plans to improve parking and the recreational space attached to this project. We're excited to share our vision for the next major milestone in
addressing the needs of the district uh before the local planning board. I'd also like to invite everyone here and members of the public to come out to our public hearing on the fiscal year 2026 2027 budget. Uh that public hearing is going to take place on April 28th right here at 6:00 p.m. and will also be
available uh on our live stream. So with that, Mr. Kenny, that is the superintendent's report. >> All right. Thank you, sir. Miss Aone, may I have a motion to approve section five routine matters A through E? >> So move. >> Thank you. Second.
>> Second. >> Don't think we can do anything. >> Good effort. >> Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Brownh Hall. Are there any comments or questions from the board? >> Hearing none, we'll take a vote. Mr. McGuff. I >> I I
motion approved. Section six, student representative reports. Miss Carly Trump. >> Oh, sorry. Um, all right. Good evening. The Golden Apple Award winner for the month of April is Patricia Khan, who was

Mr. Capello. Thank you, Mr. Kenny. Um, so this is a bianual report for us. Uh, is my job this evening to report out on report period 1 uh for the student safety data system report for the New Jersey Department of Education. um as a
part of this report and I made some uh some talking points because I sometimes jump right into the data but I think it's important for us to understand a little bit about the data system. Uh so the purpose of the data collection um is to report to the board of education and to the public uh on various incidents to provide a comprehensive view of the
school safety and the climate within the district. The kinds of things that are reported as a part of the SSDS system uh incidents of violence. So this is anything ranging from assaults, fights and threats and unfortunately they do happen uh in our schools and others uh incidents of vandalism, substance use,
weapons offenses, uh hip events, restraints and secl seclusions and other incidents that may lead to a student removal. So these are things like suspensions and expulsions that may not be tied uh to those other offenses. And we also report as a part of our hip training and the programs that we do. These are the kinds of uh preventative
measures that we take to try to avoid uh some of these incidents particularly uh incidents of harassment, intimidation and bullying. So as a part of our annual report uh report period one represents the period of July uh through the end of December. So we report this to the New
Jersey Department of Education by mid January and then within the next few months we report it out publicly at a board meeting and making sure that we do this twice a year as a part of the New Jersey Cack process. Uh so we try to summarize our data and then we do a couple of different snapshot views. We
try to juxtapose where we are at today versus where we were at this reporting period last year and also to a lesser degree look at report period 1 versus the previous report period which would have been the 2425 school year report period 2. Um and the feedback we've got from the community is it's helpful to be able to see you know sort of our areas
of concentration with where we may have upticks or down ticks if that's a word. Um, so you can kind of see here, I know it's really um, a little challenging to see on the big screen. Uh, hopefully it's coming through at home and this is available uh, on the district's, excuse me, on the district's um, agenda for
this evening. Um, you can see uh, anything that is indicated in red is representing an increase over the report period this time last year. Uh, so we could see right there at the high school uh, the first few uh, items across horizontally uh, do represent an uptick. I'm going to do a little bit of
scrolling just to show that um you know so we are looking at 2025 2026 report period 1 and then that's this period last year. So uh overall incidents went from 7 to 15 and then as we go down the list at the middle school overall incidents went from uh 20 excuse me um
yes 2030 and then um rush as you can see as we as we move downward. Um so where we're seeing those green incidents um we're able to represent u positive trend and where we see the red we're seeing uh the opposite. Uh one of the other things I thought would be valuable for the
board to be able to see is a little bit more of a longitudinal look to see if we can derive any trends in where we are at in the climate and culture of our schools. Now we all remember in 2020 you actually look at the 2020 year there's like nothing right? So we were that was the year representing uh when we for the most part were home. So these incidents
sort of disappeared from our school. And then when we came back in that next year and I think uh we have a lot of uh folks who were either on the board or educators or or had kids during that time. It was it was kind of a tumultuous time returning to school. And across the state we saw some historically high numbers in some areas that traditionally
we had not seen before. And I know this board like many others put some measures into place to increase uh some preventative measure programs to increase our number of of counselors and our access for students programs. So um you could see some general trends. uh we were kind of on an upward trajectory here. We hit the uh total and this is
total incidents um and then we hit that 2021 school year where essentially it falls off the cliff then we come back kind of um higher and then we've overall uh over time have trended slightly downward at least in total incidents. Um now as we pull this uh the next step up so we delineate for uh incidents of
violence which again any one incidence of violence is too many in our schools and we certainly take those very seriously and as I've stood up at this podium in the past uh I often remind the board and the public um if an incident happens in our schools we report it we report it to the state we don't sweep it
under the carpet and we own our data and we use our data to try to inform the programming that we do administratively. So, um, again, that 2122 school year, uh, everything across the state and in Cinnamonson kind of, um, hit the high water mark and we're looking to drive some trends that trend down lower, uh,
in most of our areas that are reported, um, since then. Uh, for things like vandalism, which traditionally is very low reported across the board, right? one incident or two, if you take the outliers out, it's really hard to drive any trends when, you know, if there's a second incident of vandalism, it's literally twice as much, which uh I
think really speaks to the character of our students and the district that um our students take our property uh very personally and very seriously. And we overall, Wood are very proud of the fact that our students are very respectful of our schools and our incidents of vandalism uh historically and today have
been traditionally low. Um, an area where we have uh seen more incidents uh recently than in the past. And again, we own our data uh is in the area of substances. And I think that there are a couple things probably at play here. Uh, as members of the board know, members of the public know where we are at in
society in the state in terms of access to um access to things that were previously classified as CDS are more accessible in our communities. Uh I had a previous superintendent of mine tell me if there are drugs in the community there are drugs in the school. Uh I take
that notion very seriously. Um but one of the things that we are noticing is that as there is more access to things that were previously um much more difficult to obtain in the community. Uh we have seen an uptake uh in some of those substances um in our schools. And
again any instance of substance abuse or substances in our schools is too many. I am very proud of the programs we have to triage uh and provide help and support to our students and to our families uh who may be experiencing uh any of these incidents. Um but it is interesting to see statewide um that our trends uh are
mirrored uh throughout the state. Um moving right along uh trending and weapons. Again, this is this is an area where we're we're very proud that these numbers are exceptionally low. Any one incident of a student bringing a weapon to school uh is too many. But here is another instance where if there was one student uh versus two, the numbers would
go up uh dramatically and double. So hard to really derive any trends there other than just be able to report back to the board. Uh we are happy in this report period to see uh zeros across the board there. And then um moving along. Um so we have two different HI categories. Again, this is harassment, intimidation, and bullying. Number of
HIS that were alleged and then the number of HIPS that were confirmed. Uh this is uh pretty serious process. All of the HIPS are reported to the board on a monthly basis. Um I don't know that we're able to derive any specific trend numbers other than to again report to the board. Um year-over-year our growth
has been pretty flat. Uh but we do have more programming today than we had uh this time in 2017 2018 to try to address some of the HIP programs and also the amount of access to counseling uh to try to do some preventative programs for our students is higher today than it was in
the past. Uh, one of the things that al also uh sort of throws off the numbers is over the years as the SSDS report uh has matured, right? Previously before it was SSDS, it was the EVVRS report and we were reporting on different things. Well, over the years as as newer things and I hate to keep using the word things
uh are required to be reported out and we're taking um what were previous incidents from one silo and possibly reclassifying them into other silos. So, I I say that to predicate um the graphics and the charts here and I know it's difficult to see. So I'll try to zoom in just a little bit.
So if you see it looks like in 17 18 1920 these other incidents leading to removals, right? Our suspensions and our expulsions were so much higher than maybe they are today. And I'd love to, you know, celebrate that um that we're we have less of these incidents that lead to removal. But I do have to also acknowledge that over the course of the
maturity of this report where we're classifying certain events, you know, maybe in one of those other silos, it looks like there was an uptick maybe in violence. um whereas previously it was just maybe classified um as something that was an other incident leading to removal. Uh so my point in saying there is it looks like we have um a dramatic
uh trend down uh but in actuality a small portion of that is also items that have been reclassified. So um while it we want to celebrate this uh we also acknowledge that uh part of the reason why some of the numbers may be higher in other categories is because of the way things get reclassified year-over-year.
That's why traditionally we just look at this report period this year versus the report period this time last year because they are the the two that are most closely connected. But I thought this year um it might be helpful for the board to see how we are trending. Um so with that again this report here is available to the board and it's available to the public as well uh on
the agenda for this evening. And with that any board members with questions about our SSDs? Fantastic. Thank you. With that, Mr. Dr. Kenny, I will yield my time to our next presentation. >> Thank you, Mr. Capello. And our next presentation is our excellent math
department, Miss Arbalez, Mrs. Who's, Mrs. Curran, and Mr. Jenkins. You guys are up. So, I'm going to sit back down now. >> Or Dr. Goldber. >> It's my privilege to introduce our dynamic math folks who are here ready to share all the things that are exciting and hot in math. Uh we're going to hear
from our director of math instruction, Miss Nicole Arbles, and the three affforementioned staff members, Miss Huz, Mrs. Curran, and Mr. Jenkins. Um who have a dynamic presentation about what's been going on in the department this year. So, Miss Arb
careful with the wire. Thank you Dr. Goldber for the introduction. As he mentioned multiple people, my name is Nicole Arbalez and I am the director of mathematics. I am really excited to be here tonight to talk to you all about mathematics. Uh my students and my
colleagues would tell you that there is nothing I like to talk about more because success in math is the foundation to opportunity. It teaches our students how to think, how to problem solve, and it gives them access to future pathways. Tonight you will
hear how we're building our foundation through professional learning, um datadriven instruction, and the strategic use of technology. To bring this work to life, um you will hear from three exceptional educators who are
doing this work every single day in their classrooms. At this time, I'd like to introduce again Mrs. Samantha Hoos. She is a first grade teacher at New Albany School, a co-grade level chair, and one of our softball coaches. Sam is
going to share with you how we are using professional learning and translating it to classroom practice. Good evening. At New Albany, we have been working as a team diligently, sorry, thank you as a team diligently to understand what mathematics should look
like across all classrooms. As you can see up here, we were provided a professional development by Dr. Milo, who is a prominent um math professor as well as author. He provided us with tools that we were able to keep in our
ever growing toolkit um which enhanced our center-based learning. Not only did he provide us tools, but his presentation was extremely engaging for all staff. Through center-based learning, our students are provided manipulatives which gives them a hands-on approach to
learning. This hands-on approach to learning fosters creativity as well as active engagement. Within those centers, students are given a piece of independence as well. They're able to work at their own pace and they're also able to be provided instruction at their
own academic level, which for these young minds is crucial at this time. I'd like you to take a moment right now. There's an amazing video up there, unfortunately without sound, but our students thrive off of small groupoup instruction. They want to be the best
mathematicians they can be. As you can see, these are genuine smiles. They are actively engaged. They're active participants. And we're often told that the students go home and they recreate these center-based learning activities with their families, which we believe
just speaks volumes on our center-based approach at New Albany. >> Thank you so much, Sam. We are in addition to professional learning we are using data to drive our instruction um as se I'm sorry data from our
assessments such as the um NJSLA and link it is used to identify um gaps in instruction just our pacing as well as provide targeted support. At this time I'd like to introduce Mrs. Laura Curran. She is a
middle school mathematics teacher, um a girls lacrosse coach, and Cinnamonson alumni who will explain how we're using that data every day in our classroom and important instructional shifts we're making across the district.
Thank you. At the core of our instructional technique is really just trying to understand where a student is in their learning. And the way that we do that is through consistent analyzing of our data through um in-class assessments as well
as state-based assessments like the NJSLA and Lincoln benchmarks. We're not looking at this data in isolation, but rather as tools to identify strengths, weaknesses, learning gaps, and then adjust our instruction. One way that we use this data to drive our instruction
is in our second session of math. In this session, students are purposefully grouped by their individual needs. So, some groups could be um working on remediation techniques where we are trying to build that foundational support to to bridge those learning gaps
and to also build confidence. Um other groups could be using reteing methods, um reinforcing the skill through guided practice. We're also identifying those advanced learners and we are making sure that we're challenging them as well.
We're giving them above level tasks, higher order thinking problems and opportunities for collaborative and cooperative thinking problems as well. These groups are dynamic. They change daily, weekly, um often with the the needs of the student, but also as the lessons and the skills are changing
daily and weekly. Another way that we're doing this is through a model called building thinking classrooms, which you can see in these pictures. These groups are a little bit different. They are random and they're usually in groups of three. These students are working together on a vertical whiteboard around
the room. So, the teachers in real time can see very quickly, are the students understanding the skill? How are they communicating with each other? um does instruction need to be adjusted based on what they're doing, how they're talking to each other, and then also the students can glance around the room.
They can learn from their peers. They can see a way another student is tackling a a tough problem. So, it's a really effective method for teachers to see what their students are doing and then adjust instruction as needed. We think that both of these approaches by
analyzing data, by forming these small groups, by creating these opportunities for critical thinking and collaborative working within these student the students in in the second session as well as the first session of math. Um, we're really able to build that academic
growth but also foster critical thinking skills that for our students will just extend well beyond the classroom. We want to make sure that we're creating a environment where students feel supported but also challenged. And with these two approaches, we think that
we're doing a really great job um in all of our schools. Thank you. >> Thank you, Laura. I often wish for a second session math that I never got. Um in addition to datadriven instruction, we're being really strategic about our
use of technology. When I stood before this board in September, I said that we would be narrowing down our use of calculators. And we have done that. We have strategically aligned calculator use with very specific standards in order to foster better number sense in
our students grades 6 through 12. Additionally, we have implemented AI and other digital programs in order to support and enhance our students learning. At this time, I'd like to introduce Mr. Brett Jenkins, algebra 2
coach, algebra 2 coach. I skipped one. Algebra 2 teacher, um, championship basketball coach, and our golf co coach to talk about what this looks like in our classroom. You go, coach. >> Teachers can be called coach as well.
Um, but we're using technology to have us help us better understand what the students are thinking rather than just giving the answer. Um we we're using some programs. One would be Alex at the high school. And why we really like that is that program caters individually to
each students. They'll take a foundational test at the beginning and then leads them to problems at what we call their path and while they're using and being on their path, they are then hopefully closing the gap. and we can see what they're doing looking at the
work and get a better understanding of where their knowledge is again rather than just giving the answer is for we also some have some other great programs snorkel and goblin that Dr. Milo uh presented to us at the PD and and why
the program snorkel is so powerful is we actually get to see what the students are thinking rather than again just giving the answer. They if you look um there so not only do they have to give the work um with there but they also have to speak into the program um and it
gives immediate feedback and that allows us to see it. And for some students um they could speak in their native language if it if they weren't comfortable with their one. In fact, if you look um up there, it's uh Portuguese. And the software picks up what their native language is and is able to give them that immediate
feedback and for us to able to see it. On top of that, they're also not just giving them the answer. If the students are say they're unsure, which is something they can do, or they give a wrong answer, it's guiding them, helping them uh get to the right answer rather
than just saying, "Sorry, that's incorrect. The answer was 12." uh it is guiding them and telling them hey I think we should do this at the at the next step. Uh they even if the program goblin they can have uh the teacher as their little avatar um in their own
voice you know during the presentation for Dr. Milo uh we all got to make our avatars which was very enjoyable uh 15 minutes over the PD if you walked in you would think was a bunch of kids working at the computer. Um, but then they can have that avatar coming back and again giving them that immediate feedback and
it also allows us to see the feedback and why we like that so much is if a if a student can explain what they're doing, I think they really truly then can understand it. And math is so important to understand one topic before you can move on to the next. Well, if
they can explain to us what they're doing, then we feel extremely confident as we move on to the next topic that they have that proper foundation uh to then understand that next topic and so on and so forth. >> Thank you, Brett. In addition to what
we're doing in the classroom, we are providing opportunities for our students to experience math outside of the classroom and across grade levels. One example of this is math and literacy night at Rush School. Our high school
students ran stations alongside our Rush teachers while our middle school students help the parents and families navigate through the building. It was a really nice um experience for our middle school and high school students to step up and take a leadership role, but then for all of our students to experience
math in a different way. at our middle school. I I affectionately am calling this the most memorable day in middle school mathematics is our math globe party is carefully curated and created by Miss Laura Curran and Mrs. Every
Clayton. Our students get to rotate through stations that have games and puzzles and review activities in a fun and neon environment. It is. This year was my first math glow party and to say that the students were excited was an
understatement. They were literally like running me down and coming in and then there was that audible growl um when the bell rang at the end of the class. I shared this experience with the high school algebra 1 teachers and they're looking to recreate this model next
year. And finally, just before spring break was our math carnival. Um, this particular event is extra special to me. It is something I started as a teacher. Um, and I'm very grateful to Mrs. Fredo and her students for carrying it on. It
is a truly student centered event. Our students at the high school created and facilitated over 35 different math stations for our all of our students at Rush to enjoy and learn. So, what you've heard here tonight is the foundation of
our math program. Um, it is our goal that all students are critical thinkers, that they are the problem solvers of tomorrow, and that they have access to any pathway that they choose. I'm incredibly proud of the work that they are doing, and I am hopeful for what's
next. Um, I would like to to thank Miss Curran, Miss Hed, and Mr. Jenkins for taking time out of their schedule to present this work. I'd also like to thank my colleagues and the board for your continued support of the mathematics program. At this time, I
would be happy to answer any questions that the board may have. >> Go math. >> So, thanks again. Great job by the folks. Appreciate their time coming out tonight. A few months ago, we heard from our science team math. This evening, uh,
next month, in addition to recognizing our teachers of the year and board of education achievement award honores, we're going to hear from our uh, social studies supervisor, Mr. Becker, and some social studies teachers about New Jersey's revolutionary schools initiative, uh, which is commemorating
the 250th anniversary of our nation. So, one more presentation from the curriculum department this year. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Thanks, guys. >> Good job, everyone. Thank you. >> All right. Section eight, we have correspondence to the board. Do any
board members have anything they need to share? I know we received a few emails that have been handled appropriately. If there's anything else, we're good. Okay. Section 9, committee reports. We have no committee reports to
to speak of except one thing in B. I'm on section 9B that the board approves John Mer as the 2026 NJSBA delegate and Ed Kenny as the 2026 NJSBA alternate delegate. Uh Mr. McGuff, may I have a
motion to approve section 9 committee reports letter B. >> So move. >> Thank you. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Miss Iconicone. Are there any comments or questions from the board? Hearing none, I'll take a vote. Mrs. Adley. >> I I >> I >> I >> I
>> I motion approved. Section 10, public comment on agenda items. Members of the public are reminded that comments should be limited to items appearing on this meeting's agenda. There will be another opportunity during the meeting to comment on non-aggenda
items. All members of the public wishing to speak on agenda items only should raise their hand to indicate they wish to speak. When called upon, participants should state their first and last name and address clearly for the record. In accordance with the sentiments and board of education policy, comments will be limited to a maximum of four minutes per
person and the comment period be limited to 30 minutes in duration. Would anybody like to speak on anything on the agenda? Come on up, sir. Mike Coins 100 Avenue. Uh my comments have to do with the section 4 approval
of the March 17th meetings. As part of the meeting was a presentation on the school bond and on slide 29 it shows the double asterric that Cinem Township is contributing 1.5 million towards the
cost there. On Monday, I went to the township committee meeting, asked the question of the committee, the administrator and CFO if they were putting in their budget for 2026, 2027,
the 1.5 or if they already had that set aside. The answer came back, no, there is no plan to put that in the budget for 2026, 2027. That was confirmed by the administrator, CFO and members of committee. They did
confirm there was conversations between Cinemson Township and Cinem. So, I think that slide and any other material should be updated since it's not funded and it it's a real cost
factor of 1.5 that is not being funded by the township. >> Thank you. I appreciate that feedback. >> Thank you. >> Anybody else? Any other members of the public? Okay, we are on section 11 personnel
