going on in the school district it's an exciting time each month um when we get the opportunity to highlight some programs and students for you and this month is always one of the uh showstoppers in many ways and we are trying to one up it so we're walking out on a little bit of a limb we have some
Stars here tonight we're hoping um I know they're approaching the bewitching hour here as as little ones but we are going to honor our preschool tonight and so we have a demonstration for you and just in to give everybody a little bit idea what happens we are going to go
through our program we've got students from the preschool program we're going to honor some students from Blackwood Elementary School and then when we're finished with that we'll have a short recess and allow for some pictures to be taken um before then you can decide whether you're going to stay for the rest of the business portion of the
meeting or whether you're going to head out we'll also be giving at the end of the program certificates that each of the students being recognized tonight will take with them um when they leave and so with that I am going to kick it over to our supervisor for our preschool
program is Nicole patango so preschool kind of introduced themselves as everybody was walking in um yeah usually we do like some sort of presentation but I thought let's have the preschoolers come in they're so excited about the program and what they do day-to-day so um tonight we have Miss
Megan langan's preschool classroom from um Mullen we invited Miss Langan and her class here tonight to Showcase some of the elements of their morning meeting routine along with some songs and strategies that they use throughout the day her class is just a great
representation of the self-regulation social emotional and Community Building Focus that we have in preschool you'll see the students practicing some calming techniques they'll sing a song that they use to help solve social problems appropriately and they will recite some affirmations that help them develop a
growth mindset Miss langan's efforts as well as just the efforts of the program as a whole um in these particular areas help our students transition into their day in preschool and later on into kindergarten not only ready to focus and attend to Early Learning experiences um
but just prepared to demonstrate positive and pro social behaviors in the K5 world and Beyond um we get really great feedback from our elementary schools you can always tell when a kindergartener came to our preschool program we hope one day it's um an experience that everyone uh all of the
three and four yearolds in gler Township can um experience and so I'll let Miss Megan take it away thank you so much definitely showstoppers excellent uh just an excellent reminder of some of the great work that we do it is an
excellent program that we have we're really proud of the work and we we've been able to partner with the community um the board and of course the state of New Jersey which provides funding for the program um to really provide a great opportunity for so many students in Gloucester

ladies these two remarkable second grade students have shown what true friendship and inclusion really look like they've come together this year to make sure that no one feels left out especially during recess and we're really proud to recognize their efforts these two young ladies started the Friendship Club
because they noticed something important not everyone always has someone to play with at recess this was six weeks into the school year too the first picture that I took of these two young ladies outside at recess was on October 18th so six weeks into the school year they started this they wanted to make sure that no
one felt left out and that every single student would have a friend to spend time with during their school day the mission of the Friendship Club is simple but powerful everyone is included they wanted to create a safe and welcoming space where every student no matter who they are or where they come from feels
part of the group these students didn't stop there they wanted to spread the message to the entire second grade they didn't just tell others about the club they got creative and made their posters these posters showed the rules of the club and what it stands for they made sure that everyone knew that anyone
can join and that kindness and friendship are at the heart of what they do here are some of the rules for the club to make sure that everyone knows how to be a part of it everyone is included so no one is ever left out be kind and supportive invite others if you
see someone alone invite them to play and respect other everyone treat others the way that you want to be treated these rules show how thoughtful and caring these two young ladies are and how dedicated they are to making sure everyone feels welcome the best part the Friendship Club isn't stopping with
second grade they express to me that they hope to share their message of kindness and inclusion with the entire School making sure that everyone from from kindergarten through fifth grade feels like they really belong tonight we are honoring Gabriella and
Cassidy for their hard work their leadership and their compassion they've made a huge difference already and we can't wait to see how their kindness continues to spread and just remember whether you're in the Friendship club or not we can all be part of making our place our school a
place where everyone feels welcome so let's follow the example of these young ladies and be kind to everyone thank you thank you Mrs heran thank congratulations to our shining Blackwood Stars Gabriella and Cassidy got a

I have uh one change to this evening's agenda it would be found under item 6.6 B uh onor 6.6 B the
third the third name Vincent cuchetti uh we receive word late this afternoon from Mr pet that he is declining the position so 6.6 B would be as amender is that just a withdrawal Mister that is a
withdrawal it's a withdrawal okay you just remove it you haven't moved or seconded so it's just a withdrawal Chang your with that said I would ask for a consent resolution I like to do public comment first oh out ofs you're right way out
ofs yeah well just so we have a agenda before do the agenda items anyone with public comments I'm going to request that you just come up to the microphone yes yeah I think this person knows agenda items
on hi hi I'm Angel mcdermit one Beach Court lenheim New Jersey uh um on your policies uh and I apologize I didn't read the whole thing but the one uh policy 9320 cooperate cooperation with
law enforce for M agencies does this also address the immigration policies if ice were to come to the district the document that currently exists uh does address uh cooperation
with all law enforcement agencies however it was drawn up in the fall so I would imag imagine that next Falls variant of the memorandum agreement with law enforcement will have
changes do you have something in place if next week Ice shows up at one of the schools we do okay we do in writing to all the principles and we've I have interacted with our solicitor on what the district shall do if that happens
what it is thank you you're welcome Mr Belo can you just tell the public what it is what is the policy yes essentially the process it's not a policy uh would be that should um any
federal agency approach with um a need to enter our buildings we would ask for the court order that has them appear in Gloucester Township and at that point I would expect that uh probably local and
County um agencies uh would respond as well we would notify Mr long and we would review the document make sure it's in good order and if it was then there would be cooperation um with all law enforcement
that come to the building any other public comments on agenda items hi uh Natasha Palmer and cille so that's Union Valley I want it Union Valley you want it aiel um just a question on the policy 5710 student grievance it looks like it's being
abolished I was just curious what it was being replaced with or what procedure it was being placed with and oh sorry guys no no that's fine um so the the student grievance is addressed in all the other policies Mr
Bido had indicated that this policy was never really referred to it was old it's just been sitting on the books so student grievance is addressed in other things so say our um HIV policy if students don't agree with that there's a
grievance process for that for um the discipline if people are in disagreement with that then there's a procedure for that so it's indicated in all the other policies we just kind of found it redundant okay and then the other question it's not more of a question it's just more of a look for I know that
um attended Sy chronic absente ism is a concern for a lot of schools so looking at the new calendar we're starting again on a Friday with a half day so I don't know um if there was just any research done to look at this year's calendar and how many students attended
versus not attended and you just may want to take that into consideration as you're looking at the start date so if there was a low attendance for that first day and we know chronic absentium is an issue may want to rethink about when that first day started so just something to think about okay great
thank you so much anyone else okay we will move on report of the cicer Mr long thank you Mrs odonnell my items were discussed in the executive session this evening I
have nothing further at this time perfect report of the superintendent um yes thank you Mr I'd like to have a consent I'd like to have a consent resolution for items 6.2a through
66 L as amended can I get a motion thank you Mrs Johnson first Mrs Gore was that you second thank you any
questions I do from the board Mr Gibbons um 6.3 B is this are we just voting on what that is going to look like or are we voting on that as because there's nothing written really in
that attachment Mrs odonnell did contact me m Mr Gibbons um the header on top the actual meeting dates that occurred yeah it would be nice to know what day it was that people were were not there so uh Mrs cavalero has already made the
adjustment and when these minutes are formalized the attachments going to we didn't I didn't bring the updated attachment tonight but the actual meetings for last month and for this will be in in the mins you're going to approve next month right I gu so I guess
the question was well thank you that was part of it but the okay that being part of the agenda on a ongoing basis don't we have to vote two times for that so that's why I wasn't sure is that what that's it's not it's not a policy well it's part regul part of the policy it's
part of the agenda well it's part of the policy that you're passing tonight to put no I know but you added that to the agenda what I'm saying is the Genesis of putting board member attendance started with the policy my thought would be
because it's just an informational is what it is you're here you're not move 6.3b up to 6.2 an information item just so what you were looking for through our conversations hopefully I'm not revealing anything you don't want me to it's it's transparency and
accountability so I think having that under informational items such as a fire drill you don't have to vote on whether a fire drill happened they just happened you don't have to vote on like for example say Mr Hutchinson said wait a second I was here that time you know I'm
voting no for it it's just a snapshot as part of the policy that the policy committee has worked on over the last few months that will presumably go into effect in about two minutes time through the second reading and I I think what would be best in the other districts
that I represent that have such a policy for board member attendance is they put it as an information item rather than an action item so maybe make it 6.2 on next month it doesn't need to be tonight it just you're approving the form so I think leave it on for tonight but moving
forward put it as an informational item under your report thank you after I just wrote over all over my agenda here so we're we're voting that that's what it's going to look like MH okay it will I did request the dates across the top at least for past and present
meeting um and then yeah right okay okay any other question oh yes so on uh where are we here 6 point 6 uh G for the extracurricular
committee um there was an upcycle art class that was one of the Committees I was just curious what that does it sounds pretty cool and in that also led me to wondering what other like there it seems like there's some schools don't have a
lot of these extracurricular things and is this because they all get done at separate times or are they lacking in certain schools with that particular class it seemed pretty neat yeah I just curious you talking about M Mr Gib you talk
about the number of extracurricular are in each building well I guess it was two questions one was what does that club do or what do they give you some examples honestly I would have to research and get back to okay and then the other one was it just seems like there's not a lot
of these extracurricular things in other in all the schools it's not evenly spread out um I could furnish you a list that I think it would be somewhat Equitable Elementary to Elementary and then middle to Middle okay what what was the title
of the one that you brought upcycle Art Class Cycle art class up upcycle upcycle like where if you took a pallet and you turn it into a couch or something that wouldn't be art though I don't know just it it just sounded neat I'm assuming it's like egg crates you
turn into I I we're gonna find out okay okay those the only questions I have I have two questions um six point sixd is in kit um it looks like the girls softball coach
uh head and assistant coach have decided to resign is that is there going to be softball um this season do we have coaches I I believe the answer to that question is yes okay I believe the
assistant softball coach is now assuming the head softball coach so so that person needed to resign from the assistant to be the head yes okay and I was under the impression that we named an assistant tonight as
well but yes we know that there's we had to build that head coach okay so there will be softball that's amazing um and then the other question um which I also had where the um public ask about the
school calendar us starting on a Friday on a half a day and Grant said you probably don't know this off the top of your head but how many children were absent that day you're right I don't know that off
the top of my head just thought about it and um I she brought up a great point like I like oh that's amazing but I can find that I you know I certainly attendance is uh important on every day especially opening day uh however
that particular week um was experimented this year and there was a lot of positive feedback from the staff that they like the opening but I believe this year we had two half days yep where Friday like I I mean not that it matters
but I can tell you the 300 boys will not be here at the first day of school yes uh but so I mean La this year we had two half days Thursday and Friday so it was a good even in where this one is a half day on a Friday yes
like yes yeah not a fan there's several variations and SE several elements that go into the calendar like Well in that particular that first week for example uh there is
a day for Teacher prep day uhuh uh there are days for professional development that the principles and the staff like to have up front so they can go over uh I think uh reminders and best practices on how to begin the year so that kind of
is front loaded that does take up that first week quite a bit we kind of gone to a half day schedule Mrs Henry because a full day um is a lot of pressure on the transportation department we don't want
any of the students lost on the first day uh so we need uh the bulk of the day to make sure that they're in and out but could teachers start Wednesday Thursday Friday and then have a half and first schol on the and
the yeah um can you go over that one more time for what purpose the 2nd of September all all the teachers are in for an in service service enforcement thir the fourth and the fth and have first day of school
the E the half day and n on half day you you would have to then push the calendar to the 18th and 19th if you had one snow day it would be juneth which is an automatic holiday that you would turn that corner and then you would have your
last day of school on the 22nd of June that may get certain people irritated it's just late it's just comes late yeah no it these are great questions it's just compacting 180 in that 10mon run
um yeah I'm thring that student sorry any other questions okay can I get a roll call please this is gck yeah yes Mr given yes M Gore yes Mrs
Henry yes Mr Hutchinson yes Mr Johnson yes mron yes good can I get uh the report of the business administrator please
including 77 can I get a motion so moved thank you Mrs Johnson can I get a second second Mr Gibbons with the second I was waiting for you I was it any questions yes I do Mrs Johnson um
on the bill list check there's two checks 136 414 and 13653 there for a Reginald Tyler hindes when I looked him up on
LinkedIn it says that he's the lead student Mentor at Black Horse Pike Regional fulltime that he works at Black Horse Pike full-time yet we're giving him checks for what
reason what was the second check number check number 136 414 and 13653 what under the one it says services for the reason the other one says title one we'll research it we're going to get
that thank you any other questions I did um 7 two in a line item transfers $31,000 for water testing is
that correct yeah for what do they what what do you do for $311,000 they they have to test every single water source in every single school and then they have to test it for lead and then they get um you get a full report and you got to
post it online that's crazy yeah right um okay I had other questions here um there's no Breet denovi bill this month that seemed odd that does seem
up I I'll have to research that for you yeah I almost had nothing to vote I had nothing to vote no one um there's another question I had was the Comcast I thought we had entered already into one and on our on the bill list this
month it's $4,300 but this says the new one is $6,500 a month is that because I know they have that e- rate thing where we get like 60% back or something like that they do we have a credit on the I didn't get the invoice so is that what that different rate is yeah well I I don't
know if that's what you're talking about but we do get two separate bills from them one's the internet connection and one is uh they connect all the buildings together so two separate bills so what you see on there are you asking about that the contract that's on there I'm just I wonder did it go up by 2,000
bucks or no actually went down if you look at both of them it actually went down and we got double double the uh the bandwidth you must only see one bill on there because there usually two bills that I know they bill all weird with different M yeah one's uh one's for connecting buildings and one's the internet uses so but the actual bill
went down on the new contract this is uh we're we're in year two of a contract that we're renewing on a another contract because we're getting double the space or or double the uh internet bandwidth for less less money okay thank
you any other questions can I get a roll call please yes forg yes yes this Henry yes Mr Hinson yes this
Johnson I'm good abstain please on check number 136 468 and 136 539 yes on the balance I'm going to abstain on check
number 136 593 and yes on the balance any business Mr Bido uh yes Mrs I would like to just let the board and members of the public know that we do have a new District website and has
taken a few comments uh from board members as well as the public but I will tell you that uh most recent inclement weather we have had uh problems this year with our uh real time student
information and access communication uh it they change vendors and it is dreadfully slow uh one of the features that is on the AP website that was purchased is the text voice email uh
there were stories from real time uh that it took over 12 hours phone calls to go out a district like the size of babon um that was not enough performance so I will tell you that the communication that went to all board members parents Guardians and staff in
the most recent inclement weather uh both uh the night before and then in the morning um afterwards from my kitchen table I figured it out and I was so happy um that it went out so quickly and
efficiently uh that it was a very good upside benefit to our new website so just wanted to say that on our old business is that saving us any money um was that like an add-on with real time yes next year we won't be purchasing that from Real Time yes can
we get some kind of a discount this year because of the problems I'm speaking to them about that nice cool is that it for old it is can I have something under old yes I'm sorry sure I'm sorry Mr McCoy did ask I'm sorry um since we all talked about the electric bill and Mullen I
spent a long time on the phone with Atlantic City Electric as you know if you've ever called a utility you're like you know that you got got to give blood and you got to send in documents but anyway I did get through and I I ended up talking to a supervisor and uh she saw right away
what I was calling about um so um tomorrow we're supposed to have somebody from Atlantic City Electric to go and test the meter at an Mullen and also replace the meter at an Mullen and we're supposed to get a report on what they
find now hopefully something's wrong over there and we get money back but that's what I'm assuming so when she saw it and said that she's going to have the meter replaced I would think that that it's positive for us so hopefully
when we get that report we maybe see some credits coming back to us great thank you is that just at one school it's just at one school and what she did tell me was because if you look at the bill and you go back the whole month the whole year she said the meter
was replaced in 2023 so it looks like they never like I don't know calibrated it or something but if you look at it the growth or they have something called a demand like a demand power demand something and it was
like 100 for like 12 months and you look at this year it was 400% so it went up quadruple so hopefully they find something wrong when and we get something back out of that okay great thank you can you update us when you find out I definitely will yes
thank you nothing else Mr B is that it okay um public comments on anything new business oh did I we just not do that you have new business I don't want any new
business um I would like to uh inform the Board of Education members of the public that tonight's um meeting will be uploaded on Wednesday I know it usually is up the next day we have some uh Jim I appreciate you uh two and double duty
tonight um you had to not only do the video tonight but you also filled in for the photography the reason that the photography was um in Jim's hands tonight is that Pam bani was over at the
township uh Mr Umar who was um not here to assist earlier tonight Mrs odonnell was chosen to be one of the recipients for Black History Month uh so staff's over there to recognize son so congratulations to Mr Umar for being

teachers our kids so I think it's going to be kind of and we appreciate all the different people are starting to help us uh with this endeavor um Glenn Landing is stepping up uh to help us they actually had a the unique license to do
this so uh they're inviting us in to use their place are you calling the numbers um I can I can something can you I will is ask oh and that's all I have under
business you will thank you awesome now can I do public you can well thank you it's my favorite part public comments on any items got okay I see none oh
oh yes please step forward name and address Andrew Deo 7 D and Drive aiel New Jersey 08081 all right so I am not here on behalf of being a teacher at M here on behalf of aiel little league I'm the president aiel Little League um the
reason I come to you guys is to talk about the junior senior field that's behind aiel Elementary School it's the larger of the two Fields um so as arrow with our donations we get from around town we just put around $4,000 into upgrades to that field
itself um they replaced a pitcher mound um leveled it out put new rubber in there new clay um I mean that's like major league skill level now um I have a report from the company who did it and like you know they literally told us that at some points that there was it
was definitely a hazard and you know could hurt the uh kids who were playing and stuff they also um redid the Batters boxes they scooped out all the dirt put in new clay put in clay bricks underneath the dirt so that way if you guys ever played baseball or softball
you know the kids they get out and then you get a well in there and we had some pretty bad wells in there like it was to the point where the batter's box was lower than the plate and the kids were coming home and sliding the plate was starting to rip their pants rip legs open and stuff so we got that all taken
care of so that was that all like all that and they reigned the bases so now the field is actually Square so like when you look down first Basel line you're looking down and it's not like you know it's not squiggly line right so um we did do that they also um cut the
infield in so now it doesn't look like a uh we did um an aerial view of the field it kind of looked like a um kind of look like a u almost so now it's nice and you know covered and stuff um so the reason
I'm really asking this is the question is I know they use it for lat King and they use it for recess I believe as well the the field which I'm not I'm no way shaping for my S them not to be able to use the field okay I just want to know
is can we as aiel buy a cover we will obviously we'll pay for the whole thing Buy covers that they put on over the pitcher mound and at the home plate area I'm not talking about like like ones like they have a major league like not major league size the tarps yeah the tarps maybe like they're the the one I
want to get is like 10 foot so it be 10 foot in diameter it just it's really to protect the the rubber of the two places of the home plate and the pitching Mount because there's been times that we go out there to prepare the field to get it ready for a game there's like pencils and pens sticking out of the pitcher
mound um one time we went out there the pitcher mound was on second base they literally managed to dig it out and move the whole thing so um I was just you know I'm just asking the blessing of the board um to go to to for us to aeriel to
purchase it and then use it to you know in protect our investment that we're putting into the field I mean when I was a when I was a child and I played there oh I played D from when I was like 13 to 16 I uh you know it was a really nice deal and I just would like to bring it back to the community and stuff like
that so is that a is that a fenced field or no the field is completely fenced in the only opening is there's a there's a gate there used to be a gate out in center field like a single person gate um that that's that's
the only part that's open other than that there's Gates like you know enclosing where like the dugouts are and stuff like that obviously for safety purposes so right and there's a there's a large and there's a large gate in the field or in the back so can bring the tractor out there to like drag the field and smooth it back out got it the things
that you want to put over home M plate or home base and the plate are they easily movable like if latchy kids are out there or kids from the neighborhood go out there could they easily take them off yeah yeah it's it's they they they
do have so it's um it's vinyl and then it's sewed shut there's it's vinyl um patch what would say and then there's a chain link inside the patch which kind of weighs it down so like the wind doesn't blow us like the wind doesn't blow it and things like that but it's
easily like like when we prepare the game when we prepare the field like the other fields for games the you know the kids just drag them off there and put it in the back stop and then you know we have we get ready for the game but you think it'll just deter the kids from putting pencils in there like that's what that's what we're hoping um because
like I I don't think they're GNA stab through the the it's um I think it's like uh 8 mil um vinyl so I don't think think it's they're going to like stab through it so is your mic on mik turn your mic on
please biscuit uh so the aerial children students go play in the field yeah I believe that's where they have recess on lashy they recess is that town is that is that District property yeah we um I fill out a I want
to call it a facility of use facil and I sent it to this year was somebody new I sent it to miss Leonard I sent it to her she sent it back gave me back my approval told me the dates I can't use it all we're all you know sign still delivered on that okay um so that's all
