This meeting may be recorded for subsequent public and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Call Jess,
>> you look nice. Um, okay. We have a student of the marking period at a middle school. Not yet. Oh, marking period one. I thought that we had one student.
>> Okay. Staff member of the month. We would like to nominate Mr. Mike Lombardo as staff member of the month for September 2025. Mike has taken on the outside field maintenance responsibility this year and has done an outstanding job taking care of the field hockey field as well as the school
ground. This is a new position for Mike this year and he embraced it fullheartedly. He takes great pride in his work to make sure everything looks great. Lining the field hockey fields is not an easy task and all the old markers were not able to
be found. So he had to mark out all from scratch and he did a fantastic job. Not only does he do an outstanding job lining the fields, but he keeps the grass all manicured for the team. In addition, Mike will do anything you ask him to do, and he will do it as soon as
he can. For example, I asked him just this morning to line one of the PE fields for me, and he said absolutely. And when he got a free moment, he lined it for me. He goes above and beyond to make sure the outside rounds are well maintain well-maintained. His hard work and effort do not go unnoticed and the
pride he puts into his work is much appreciated by all. You were nominated by Lorie and >> Job. Thank you. Thanks Mike. All right. Appreciate it.
>> Thank you. >> Superintendent. >> Okay. So, we're off to a great year um of school. I think the last time we met, we had our preschool and kindergarten orientation coming up. So, that was uh
that went very well. Um, since then we had our back to school night, right? We tried the new format this year. Um, two nights into one. You know, all things considered, I think it was a success. Um, we did put a survey out to the staff and there's been a lot of good feedback
on that. So, looking ahead to next year, you know, maybe making some adjustments to make it, you know, potentially, um, even better. So, uh, it was a nice turnout. Um, and I think that was uh just a great uh, you know, evening for all that were involved. Um, looking
ahead, we're forming a Veterans Day committee um, which is November 11th. Uh, last year I think we had our first Veterans Day ceremony here. So, >> uh, yep. So, Mrs. Tvarez had a big piece
of it. Um so we have our first you know staff meeting uh Wednesday to start planning this uh ceremonies where you have veterans come in um you know signs just everybody kind of moving really great thing. Um other than that um if
you look at all the great things coming up we have fire prevention uh in October of course our week of respect um you know we're closed for teacher service day on the 13th. Uh thank you to Dr. for once again putting together a great uh day of learning, inviting many people
from all over the county to come visit our school um and learn. And just this year, very proud of this as well. Uh we're having the sixth through 10th grade teachers are all going to High Point, Lafayette, Sussex, Wanage, uh Frankfurt obviously, and Monagu. I think
that's a big hurdle, a big stepping stone. They're all going to get together. Um, you know, and the ultimate goal obviously with articulation is when they get to High Point, they're all speaking that, you know, they're all learning the same way um of doing things, right? Franklin's not
technically going to be doing it different than Monu and Lafayette, so the same terminology. So, that'll be a great first step um on uh the 13th uh coming up. Um and then we have a the next day eighth grade is going to tour High Point. Um but other than that, I think it's it's all positive. a great
start to the school year and we're going to keep it going. So, thank you. >> So, last week or two weeks ago, we were able to complete our 24.5 HIV self assessment. Um, we scored uh 75 out of 78. It involved a parent of the
community, two staff members, myself, Mr. guidance counselors who are specialist. Um and we go through the rubric as a school and where we meet exceed potentially fall short. Um one area in
which we quote unquote fell short is train volunteers. Um to meet or exceed that requirement, you have to train every volunteer that comes to that building. Pretty impossible, especially with a district that has a PTA that's so involved. Um we did speak about
potentially setting up a virtual training where you know we could just screen castify or screen record training, send it out and then in order to volunteer at an event and verify that you watched or been quote unquote trained kind of like vector train
anybody is familiar with that. Um we also looked at and that kind of fell into this other category community understanding. Um not sure if anybody has really ever sent anything out to the community saying you understand HIV law, you know what it means, you know what it is.
for example. And again, that kind of fell under that training volunteers idea. And then a data analysis, really just kind of a data wall. Where are what are our hs mainly about? Who do they happen to? Where do they happen? What do they happen to see if we can find maybe
some hot buttons or maybe some hot areas in the school? Is it passing? Is it recess? Is it lunch? So on so those are three things we working on next year. Um and we did have as you guys can see here our first uh case of harassmentation and
bullying that this month pretty usual in the first month of school kids are really again school has different rules. >> Um also you probably noticed the uh enrollment right we're below 500 so I'll
just speak to that real quick. Um, so the incoming kindergarten class is 10 less than last year's graduating eighth grade class. So that kind of put us like 10 behind um right off the bat. And then, you know, for whatever reason, I feel like right as school is starting up
a few days before school, we've had, you know, a few students um or parents decide that they're going to homeschool their kids. So um you know, there's really nothing, you know, you can do about that. we continue to, you know, showcase our wonderful programming, our great school, but you know, do the
individual, you know, values or whatever, you know, they're choosing as um you know, we've had some some uh home school. You know, of course, we had a few move out of district. We just didn't have as many move into the district yet, but as the year goes on, that's typically when we'll hopefully start to
climb back up with or trends to see how that goes. So just a little explanation of you know 488 500 >> and one thing I just um so I know I realize on field hockey this record has a girl that is in in our district but
play but goes to school at Northwest Christian School. >> Are homeschoolers allowed to play on our sports teams? >> Oh yeah those Yeah. Stadium. >> Yeah. Um okay. So typically if the school they go to doesn't offer that
athletic program, they're welcome to play for their home district. >> Is that at the superintendent discretion? >> So that's um that's kind of code like statute. >> Yeah, that was updated years ago.
>> Yeah. >> Obviously they want to sign up, >> right? as long as they're in, you know, good standing, you know, they're not a discipline issue on the athletic fields, like then we would have discretion, but >> right, >> you know, they're they're welcome to
participate in athletics. >> No, I I actually um was asking because few years ago I had a friend who was homeschooling and she told me that she asked her children to play sports here and she was told no because she's a homeschooler, she couldn't play. Um, so
And when I saw Riley and and I was like, you know, and you're right, you do have two as well. So I just to clarify that, >> yeah, years ago because they brought up to me, I wasn't board president. So they
brought it to me then I said everybody >> should have seen these girls in their first game they won the high They're like, you know, rock up there, too. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Oh, do you have something?
>> No. >> Okay. >> All right. Do we have a public comment? Motion to close public comment. >> Um, executive session. You need to go in a second. >> Yeah.
>> Oh, no. We don't want to do that. >> Um, sure. Uh, well, um, the negotiations update, um, I don't think we're going to do because it would be Caitlyn who already knows about it.
Um, Jesse is actually not conflicted for negotiations. He would be conflicted for contracts for Mr. Lard and Mr. Newman. Um, but it would make Jamie and Kate would have to leave. >> That's fine. We'll just >> session
not go into executive session. >> Just not >> You don't have anything right? >> No, nothing. Nothing that what's on the agenda. There's no real discussions necessary. >> Um, so that brings us to committee
section. So, communications and public relations, we have some monthly activities coming up. The 6th to the 10th is start. Um 107 fire prevention day. 10:13 we have school close. 10:14 is the eighth grade tour at High
Point. 10:14 there's a day meeting CPA. 10:23 to 10:31 is 10:27. That's a long week. >> That's 10:23 to 10:31.
>> So, Red Week is always regardless of the day of the week, the 23rd to the 31st. >> So, a full week, >> right? Yeah. That's just like the way Red does it. It's always the 23rd to the 31st. 10:27 is the October
10:31 on Friday is Halloween. So the sugar crash on November 1st on the parent >> go trick-or-treating until 3:30 anyway. wants to make a motion. We're not gonna argue with you. All right.
>> No, I'm actually >> It's so branch trick-or-treating is 3:30 to 5:30 with the six o' parade, right? >> Um the school day could dismiss at 12:45. I mean, if you guys want to do it,
that's fine. I'm with whatever the majority. >> It won't hurt us, right? >> Same difference as like a regular early dismissal or delayed opening. Still, we still got >> One thing I want to put out there putting this out there in November, you
hardly have school. So, you have teacher convention off. You have three half days during conferences, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You have a half day before Thanksgiving. and you're off Thanksgiving. So, November they are hardly in school. And I understand the
busing issue. My kids don't get off until four o'clock, but I feel like a lot of the younger kids because of the parade, they get picked up anyway at the dismissal. And I'm not saying that Halloween is going to be this great educational day
either. I I totally understand that. But I'm I'm thinking >> But I'm also thinking about like the logistics of the parents because that now makes the parade >> at 11:00 a.m., right? The parade or >> 11:30
>> 12 12. >> So as a working parent, I just want to throw out there that that becomes more of a hardship because you're out at 12. you're you're at 12 and you have a hardship there and you have a
lot of half days in November and a lot of days off in November and our Christmas break we have Monday half day Tuesday and we are out until January 5th. Just saying >> it's a great majority majority of you, however you
want to do it, but I'm just I'm just considering like be working that's tough. It's a lot of days of asking your employer to be out early and out. It's a lot of days.
November is a tough month. December will be a tough month as well for a non-education working parent with all of those days for Christmas break. I'm not saying it's a highly educational day on Halloween. I'm not I'm not but
I'm just saying >> especially last minute on the other >> I'm just saying that I think it's a hardship to some parents. Yeah, I think it's definitely going to be a hardship for some, but it's actually going to be easier for others
>> no matter what >> concerns. Honestly, >> I mean, I think the staff would like it. I know I think personally I'd like it. I have young kids. I know Dave does too. But I mean you have to think of of everyone.
But um >> can we ask represent strictly because the buses have to go through town and town does get >> How does that work every year though? every year when it's on a weekday. >> They're probably just waiting for the
bus to pass through to close it. >> When trick-or-treating starts is 3:30, I mean, you have to get the buses out on time. That's the thing, right? Like >> Yeah, they're usually through there by like 3. >> I'm just throwing out there other information than yay at 12:45 dismissal. The staff will love it and like some
parents will love it, but some parents and if you Me too. >> You have to serve lunch that day because I heard at back to school the only lunch day only non lunch days.
>> Yeah. So I would >> that's still >> Jesse made a motion. I don't have to second it. I don't know. We'll get the updated calendar out tomorrow. >> Well, fun in school, not fun getting you
out of school. And then you have a ton of half days and days off in November and December, >> but that's every year. >> But you guys wrote it, so it's fun. They're gonna >> This isn't like an every year. This is a one year. Friday.
>> I like back to school night. We tried it out this year and we'll, you know, >> I think because it's a Friday, it's one thing. >> But I would not That's a great point. >> I'm just branch at
his bus. I Everyone everyone I think that's my >> pick up your bracelet at the school. >> Dr. Milly, do you have an update for curriculum and policy? >> Mr. Sylvester,
we're trying to get through this meeting. >> There's only five of us. I lost a vote. I'm bitter. Let's move on. Mr. Sylvester, >> I don't have good news. workshops. So, I'm very excited for that. We had
somebody coming to talk about the next generation standards. She's a certified um NGSS educator. professional development stores. Um, and then we have uh six sessions for
our uh countywide service here. We have people coming from Washington County, Morris County Park who are coming up here county. But we have art teachers, uh,
band teachers, health and PE, world language, and our educational technology, um, room is offering both a inerson and a virtual option with a company for labs. We put up with Spark
photo. Yep. It's all about light and waves, like light waves and particle waves, and how like almost like a physical sort of that they'll bring down into resources and access
for this for our students that they'll be looking forward to that and the rest of our staff will be here in the building doing profession areas of math to English profession. all that sort of stuff.
I had people register from outside of the county. I mean outside of our >> Oh, I was like, "Wow, they're coming from a big deal. Oh, that's cool.
>> I love the high point thing, too. It's great. >> What do we do for um like the kids that go to tech? Like I know we have like a couple I don't know a few times a year. It's like visit High Point. Do we ever get like a Is it votech or like does vot come here
to like comes here and does >> Blair Academy? >> What a question. >> Just um okay policy reviews. So, we have the um the first and second readings um on a
couple of policies. So, I know the last time the footwear footwear guidance was um a hot topic that we spent a lot of time on. I don't really want to spend more than like three minutes on it. Um that's insurance driven. Our insurance
is exponentially increasing. if that's one thing that like we don't have to worry about. Um I don't think it's in discrimination of slide shoes. It's just the safety of the footwear. Um
so that's on a that's that's on a first reading. >> So yeah, we had we had the discussion last month that we had forgot to put the resolutions in there. So we had the discussion. Our bylaws and allow us to do a first and second reading at once. So, I figured since we've already had the discussion, we're going to do the
first and second reading because otherwise we were doing back to school night. I looked at everyone's shoes. I did find one that was wearing a flipflop type sandalish. >> Everyone else was >> No, I just
But I'm I'm assuming when this policy is enacted, you will send an email out to the staff to >> so that everyone understands the guidelines. >> It was already discussed at um the service day before school started. So, >> well, was that back to school night? I looked at his shoes and I thought to
myself, hm. And now, you know, it's one of my kids teachers >> and like we told the staff, we're not >> we're not going to be the shoe police, you know, we're not the shoe police, >> you know, but they know this. If something happens because I'm wearing that footwear, we are not responsible.
>> My right to medical. >> Okay. Um the other one um is the second reading one that I was considering the second reading of the non-residents. So at the last meeting, so at the meeting before we talked about the non-residents
and the fee that we would charge. So that's teachers bringing their students from out of district in. We talked about the fee, but then when we read it, I I had a different memory of what the discussion was. Um, if you remember Jamie, you were like 300 sounds like a
lot, like we should do 250. But we also put we also had discussed um going ahead and making it like a byanual check on that um every other year check on that cost.
like the board doesn't have to raise it, but they could look at it. They could even lower it if the board had decided at that point. >> Um, >> but that's not >> for the whole year. >> So, it was a different So, when when this came on second reading and I looked
at this like I just wanted to make sure you guys, is that what you want? $300 and there's no check of it. That's how it right now. But the discussion was actually I thought I and you had talked about it last meeting. I think Chelsea has the same memory as me, a couple
people that it was 250 with a check every other year, like a board check every other year. Um, so you guys tell me if you want to approve the second reading as is 300. No, no check in next year to next year or
>> Oh, so you're saying so you thought it was 250 and then a check every two years, but this currently says 300 and doesn't say anything about the check. >> Yes. And then we discussed it like last meeting and what did you guys what did
you guys remember? And I was like Jamie said at the end like oh wait this is only once a year then I'm fine with 300 but we had all came to 250 and then we checking every other year but I think it just came out
>> check every other whether it's in there or not. >> You check any policy you want. You can open it up every year if you want. Every policy will be on the books. But I mean, let's face it, like I'm not gonna be on the board forever. Neither is anybody. So, it's just a policy in there to let future >> school boards,
>> girl. I'm not gonna be president in January. I'm telling this >> um >> we could make it something that's approved every year like every year at time or >> it's not it's not like a money maker,
but like obviously, but it's just something to check. You want to add or you want to >> I would like to add >> every other year >> or every year >> every now
I mean we don't have to raise it every year but look >> right >> yeah so let's revise that one so that second reading. Mr. Lassard is going to be a no >> as back for another second.
>> Okay. >> Okay. Make sure you're set a reminder in your >> Yeah, we probably would talk about >> I just don't want to be in violence. say it can be added be ver checked annually for that matter.
>> Yes. Yes. >> Subject to board resolution for investment or something. >> I'll I'll come up with some language to add. >> You have an update on the technology plan. >> Uh so we met as administration last
week. We Daryl our IT master uh he's been talking with me a lot about different needs. We have the infrastructure. We're we're currently working on replacing servers. We're replacing our access points, but these are funded through - uh what is not
funded through are all of our computers, our wiring throughout the building, uh laptops and all that for the staff, not just the Chromebooks we deal with every year. So, I asked them, you know, because these are all very big ticket items and we're already trying to figure out a multi-year plan to get servers and
stuff updated. asked them to start building a new technology plan so we can get an idea on get back on track with the cycles of replacements of items. So teacher laptops are about four years old right now. Uh trying to push those to five years, maybe six if we had to, but
I'm trying to get one extra year if we possibly can. But the idea is let's look at everything we need so that way I can get a multi-year approach to this because I can't do it all in one shot and it's not something that can be done at the last minute. it needs to be looked at because, you know, a lot of
these things I'll have to finance over two or three years. So, I got to figure out what's the best scenario to make it happen. Uh, it's pretty much how I've been doing it since I've been here and it's worked out pretty well. But, you can't just suddenly build $80,000 in
replacements in one shot. So, we got a So, either way, we're at the early stages. I asked them to just start building reorganizing the inventory and how long things have been in service so that way we can get on track. >> Does any of the technology planning
address um like in the classrooms outlets and things like that to plug in Chromebooks and charge computers? It was brought up to me like in a discussion on back to school night. One of the teachers was like, "Oh, well, I only have like this one outlet over here." And there is some sort of strip in the back of the classroom, but it's not an
outlet strip for charging. >> Consider that kind of technology and like being able to charge all these devices. I would probably be something I have to talk to like principles and see maybe they find out from staff of you know it'd be kind of a
>> well that yes and no I mean part of it is what is our our electric service capacity our circuits and class um when we met with the middle school to discuss pause um one of the things was our devices or you know technology and
Dave said it beautifully he's like you know You plug in your cell phones at night. You plug in your >> Yeah. >> They full charge all day. >> Oh yeah. For fully even like 50%. But you know the kids that come in like oh it's first period and I don't have
battery. Okay. So then that's not really a problem then. >> Yeah. >> And most the majority of the kids are good with that. >> Yeah. And you know the K to4s they don't take theirs home. They're on the cart. They
charge up overnight. So, it's really a five through eight, but the feedback is the majority of them are doing a good job of charging them up. So, >> I've never seen charge. >> She's the kid that needs the outlet. >> I guess she's got enough juice. It's got enough juice.
>> All right. So, the finance physical plant and transportation is what OA >> P OA. So we had a we had a surprise check by PE OSHA. What that is it's OSHA but >> for public employers. So public employer
OSHA it's it's still OSHA part of OSHA but >> I don't know why they created a subset. But anyhow they they've making rounds through all the school districts in the county. So we were they just showed up one afternoon. Um walked around throughout the building, checked all of
our books, you know, inspected boiler rooms and everything. >> Books. Yeah. Or like safety books with logs. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Safety logs. No, no, no, no. Safety logs. Uh >> overall it was a very good uh report. Um
they had asked, you know, Brian to update some of the protocols for you know, okay, safety, how to handle different equipment, just update those things in the format he wanted, which he's done. Um so at this point, we're just waiting for a final report. I think he has to submit some summary form which
is not done yet but overall it was very good visit. So >> just making the way through. >> So we have the fire drill on September 5th and a school security drill on September 8th and tomorrow is the bus evacuation drill I saw. >> Um >> yeah so tomorrow's drill is just going
to be like literally the kids walking off of the bus like the normal way and then the one we do in the spring will be the evacuation. >> So >> so they just get off the bus. They get off in a worldly fashion. They stand on the curb without their backpacks or anything and they get back on the bus. And then the spring is the fun one where
they hop out of the back. >> All right. So, we have a consent agenda now. Um, can I have a motion? Well, be resolved with the Franklin County Board of Education accept the recommendation of the superintendent of schools to approve
the above identified regular agenda items numbered 2025922-350922-2. Motion to >> second. >> We add Yes. But I'm gonna >> abstain on 17.
>> She likes this. Jesse Vaughn, Jimmy Armando in August. Yes. That's my shoe. >> Be careful walking out the door. >> Motion to open. >> Yes. Yes.
informed >> yeah insurance and um just beyond repair and it's very costly as you know we just don't have that money to fix actually >> they've asked us. They've said we really should be no longer used. Not just
because the fabric was loose, but the cracks and and so forth. So, it's full of cracks, but yeah, the fabric was lifting up as well. Yeah. I mean, the cracks are also a concern for catching a toe. I I know it seems it seems ridiculous. I mean, I get
it. Um, but when you're talking about >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, every time you look at grants, they they're about $20,000. With the estimates we've had for the tennis courts, we're we're talking5 to
$700,000. And for me, I've just never been able to >> find that money >> to justify doing that for the tennis courts versus the building. >> I mean, is there like a modified tennis court?
I mean, you're talking you're talking a patch job that every five years. >> I mean, also, we should run it by the insurance company first because >> you'd have to do something when they say >> just resurface the basketball court. I
wonder what that costs. It's amazing. >> I mean, maybe if the town wants to give us a >> doesn't have tennis courts out there. Could we reach out to the >> Yanchenn? The benefit I don't think >> Oh, Branchville. Yeah.
>> Can anybody use >> branches? I get what you're saying. >> Are there modified nets that you parking lot? I mean, it wouldn't be >> like the pickle ball. That's right.
But I do appreciate you consistently asking about the tennis court. And it's gorgeous. >> Resurface online. [Music] >> Oh. No, I
>> Yeah, >> I mean that's great information. So like I I suggest we you know reach out to our >> depends on how professional you are >> if we did this would it be okay? >> Well this is this is what you need to this is what
you need to meet a minimum code standard. So what is the minimum that the insurance company would say this improvement to this service would allow us to feel comfortable instead of the insurance? >> Now here here's here's one key. There's
a difference between township school. Now this is bigger but a township level they have a much higher threshold for prevailing wage. So they could get a local contractor to do things. We have a $2,000 threshold for prevailing wage which more than doubles the cost.
guaranteed off the bat more than doubles the cost. Now, that being said, you know, we're talking four tennis courts versus two. I mean, we're not going to just surface a small square in there and turn into two pickle ball courts. We have a giant tennis court
pad that would need repair. They have different types of repairs. They have, you know, stone dust overlay pave on top of that and just building up on it. But the underlying cracks eventually work their way through the whole surface. So that's usually where it's you want to spend $100,000 now and then another
hundred,000 in another five years or you want to spend $500,000. >> What that would happen is we would probably pull the fences down and see about turning into some other type of space. >> No, some other type of recreational
space or practice field or something else that is more usable. Uh obviously the tennis courts are not great right now. So Any public comments? >> Motion to close public comments.
>> Okay. So, other um items of the good of the order. I totally forgot. We need to complete our governance training. So, if you haven't, please do it. A lot of us um we'd also >> Can you remind us if we didn't
>> um want to congratulate our board member Chelsea. She had her baby girl um this month, so she's not here because she's baby in um the PTA tricky tray is November 15th. Um please see your
classes or your grade level. They are doing basket. Support the baskets. If you can donate a basket from your family or whatever you can do in your spouse's name, they would love to get it. Um, do you have something about the chicken?
>> No, I forgot to mention our first day on know anybody that wants to sign up. There's a link. Yeah, I have a lot of people at back to school night like, "Oh, I signed up through that link. I
signed up through that link." And you're like, "Oh, we got five people and I literally counted seven that told me." And I know I did, too. >> We got 12 >> and everybody's included in that or you're picking people. >> I didn't get anything about it and I've signed up through that link.
>> You have me on there. >> Yeah. No, I signed up through the link. Did you get anything or I got it and I signed up through that link? >> I figured you didn't want [Laughter] >> I just have one one more thing before
you go. >> Um, eighth grade graduation. This is another one Mrs. Eert has asked about bringing eighth eighth grade graduation back to the courtyard. Are we scheduled with the pavilion already somewhere or what what is our plan for eighth grade graduation?
>> We're still doing we're still doing the >> still using the fairgrounds and then also the Richard building we would have been without a doubt in high taking that risk of that severe storm would have been the right thing to do if you had let's say
with 300 people coming that phone call would have came out at 2:00 and then guess what it didn't you know what I mean just because you would not have been able to take a chance >> high point wouldn't even let us in >> that's right
>> but I think through that experience like getting the setup in the Richard's building, even though we didn't eat it. Let us see that if we did have to go inside to like >> be in my opinion because you're having our areas.
Right. And this year when we call high point they couldn't >> I just wanted to point the Sussex County MJA meeting is on October 6th at Farmstead. It's a free meal. Um, I'd love to have some coffee because I
always go and it's really good and I always have to hang out with all the High Point people. So, it would be nice to have some Frankfurt people coming. >> Um, so >> it's I think it's a Monday. Yeah, October 6. You can sign up. It should be in your email comes from Rob Sarah who's like our event guy. Um,
