here in town so I commend the entire district the board every employee uh you know it's good feedback to receive and it's nice to be recognized uh next we'll let the board know that we
have a lot of athletic accomplishments i'm not going to mention them tonight but the April meeting I'm going to invite um some individual athletes uh to attend that I think have really distinguished themselves you know individuals that may not always get the credit because they perform in some of
these sports are individual uh but we're going to invite them out in April uh but for tonight I'm going to go ahead and uh commend uh our visual performing arts department we got a letter from uh the impact board says good evening Dr zakara
we want to take a moment to celebrate the March Pops interstellar night it was a phenomenal labor of love and talent if any of us had been elementary parents and it were a first taste of the whole district arts program we would have been booked immediately from the violin
lightsabers to the black light art walkthrough to the multi-level combined performance of space odyssey with coordinated conducting we all had emotions many staff also were running around behind the scenes and getting everyone where they needed to be none of the movie pieces went unnoticed with
everyone's promotion we were able to raise over $6,600 for the feedback to support the program we are so happy to be part of the amazing things the art teachers are making happen daily uh thank you Had Visual Performing Arts Guild Board so a
nice letter a lot of tremendous things happening um in the world of um visual performing arts alice up there on this fight here with whether it's the high school musical or school musical coming events like this so congratulations to
the whole department tremendous support we have from board um taxing 10% $6,000 we were shooting for five that was like that was
general fun okay so that being said you know now would be the time where you know I turn the floor over to Mara and Joe to make a a student report on behalf of the high school and you may have noticed in the last few months Mara Lamar and Joe have
made a report on behalf of the middle school because uh we are trying to not only uh empower our student leaders uh at the high school level but we're also trying to develop our future leaders so instead of just getting report from
Isabelle Shedigard and Fen Jackson uh Fen Jackson uh we are actually inviting them here tonight uh we met with them earlier today um is goes by Bell right uh and two tremendous students who distinguish themselves um not only
academically uh but also individuals of high character their principal rising is here tonight uh to support them and uh we'd like to hear the board would like to hear from your perspective kind of how things are going so really the floor
is yours harvey you want to divide up the work and uh you know we'd love to hear what's happening in the middle school um I'm Bel Shedikica i'm an eighth grade and I went to Vans Skyver so the first for the high school report they just had
wellness week i think it was uh last week or yeah last or sorry the week before that um and it was run by the herring club which was in the high school and they had like lots of different activities um payment if you want to elaborate a little bit um my name is Fen Jackson i'm
in 8th grade and I went to general my elementary school uh continuing what Bell said um bonus week promotes substance awareness so like let's say we're dealing with something it's like to have some more awareness
for you know drugs and stuff like that like some of the activities they did was like a a 3v3 basketball tournament um and they did music Monday which was like a music game during lunch um as well as they had a guest speaker named Joe Owens
who was a recovering addict he talked about like his story and his process with recovery and his like message was that people um they're not that they're not alone and if you're struggling like there's people out there and you're really not alone so um also with bonus week there was a
phone through Friday where they don't go on their phones for the whole day Friday and there was a high participation within bonus week so that's that's good how about the middle school um in the middle school we actually have
a lot of uh great events uh we had a Holocaust assembly on March 13th and it mainly was it mainly talked about Anne Frank and like her story um there was uh and like an actor and they did um it was very cool it was like a little video and then the actor like kind of act out and
it just c it like brought awareness to um the Holocaust and it was just a great experience because it like um helped us understand more about the Holocaust and I think we had a um a high township like alumni student or student come and talk
about it as well so that was very cool um on Wednesday the 11th there was a track meeting which uh track is a club in the middle school and so far there's 106 people that um came to the meeting
and are doing track um and then on the March 21st there's rock socks uh it's where you have to wear Mitch Mac socks to bring awareness for Down syndrome uh we also are doing we might do
possible mixed lunch tables for no one eats alone so we would like some of the student council members would talk would talk to the um like wins or study halls I guess you could say and just prepare that prepare like the school for what we're going to be doing so that is something that um would possibly be
upcoming uh and then there is also a dance on May 2nd for sixth and seventh graders it'll be a luau so um so this month is women's history month and there will be a possible radio call with trivia questions about like
women and stuff so that's going to happen then on May 9th there's a principal's lunch so principal's lunch is where you have to have all A's and B's um on your report cards to have principal lunch um it's like where you
just eat in the cafeteria does the principal buy lunch does he buy you lunch that day what's like pasta do you get to pick which principal it's It's very fun i enjoy it um we also
have the Midfield musical coming up so auditions just finished up last Wednesday we had our first rehearsal today um I'm actually doing that and there is a lot of people doing that there's like probably like 50 to 60 students that showed interest so and a lot of people are very excited i know
personally I'm excited so I think that'll be really great um so that that was pretty cool to see that many people um well do you know why the stage is built out like that for the musical so that was actually for Urine Town for the High School Musical but then they kept
it for Interstellar because when when the middle school went to go and sing the rest of their songs we stood like out on the stage so I think that was initially for Yur Town i'm not sure if they're going to keep that but it was like to give more space because um I heard like like year in town need a
little more space for it um last month was Black History Month and there was again trivia questions for individual um black speakers or like black people that are really important
and you basically you call the office and and you just like submit your uh answers to um the questions and um there was for the house all month last year as well basically for the house is very
abbreviated minutes and you support the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia and the initial goal was 5,000 but we exceeded the goal to $8,000 so uh we exceeded that and a lot of out of that we got some like rewards
so we did a pretzel day we did a pajama day and then actually on Friday this Friday on the 21st we're doing a student teacher dodgeball so the students versus the teachers and um anyone who raised like $5 or more will uh be pic picked
out of a hat and then we'll get to participate so we had like different rewards for that jar helmets out um another thing in the middle school is we have the no place for hate so that's like student council we're doing that in student within student council we just
finished the pledge so in the middle school there's a big hulk and it has like feathers and that's where the like people wrote their names as their pledge for no place for hate um so we just finished that up um recently there was a student survey for like the climate
throughout the school and it would like ask questions on like how you feel how like how comfortable you are just questions like that and we would like Miss Jasville I think sent it out and um the student council was starting to
brainstorm activities to promote no place for hate um sometime like in the hallways there especially in like the eighth grade hallway there is like um there the traffic flows can sometimes get a little messed up um so that we had some issues with that but it has just been addressed
so that's starting to get better um uh and then oh yes our arts program in like the middle school I feel like has been going really well there's a lot of students involved in chorus and and band and like I just mentioned Matilda and the interstellar concert I think went very good so I feel like the arts
program has been pretty cool lately especially with like all the events that have been coming up um so that's you know that's been pretty great um in 8th grade you take a language of Mandarin Spanish um German and French and um a
lot of eighth graders really enjoy the language and they really like having that like having like having like it's like it's like having a language like they really enjoy like learning a new
language that's what I was trying to say and in win is basically like a study hall just for middle schoolers and people really do a lot of work and when like you do homework you catch up on work all that and you like ask your
teachers any questions if you have any and people really enjoy having as well to catch up on homework going back to like what Fab said about language enjoyment and win I personally love my language class i take French i enjoy it a lot i've been learning so much more
French lately and then like what F said about when I enjoy I really like it because I can get my homework done um and I can it's just kind of like a nice free period to relax and get your homework done and then one more thing we had for high school was the Disney trip
um that the seniors are currently on and uh Martin and Joe told us that there's just so much excitement about it so I have a feeling that the high schoolers are h the seniors are having a great time so that was just a lot of excitement um going off to what Belle said um a lot of people wanted to go on
the Disney trip but many people are not going because they have other fun plans like trips and family trips um etc so and that's pretty much all we have but I would say things are going really well with inside the high school and the
middle school so thank you M rising we appreciate you coming out to support uh your pupils here today um anything you want to offer spell or David as students or leader future leaders current leaders future leaders
you know your time that Well as you can see they're both very well spoken um they're definitely some of our stronger leaders at the middle school we're going to miss them next year tremendously um but I think they both have bright futures ahead of them and I think they're going to be stars at the high school so I'm looking forward to seeing
them succeed anybody in the board have any questions about the middle school sounds like there's a lot of activity happening there i just want to share that I went to French today um for an observation after leaving the and Belle and I have him mentioned oh I just left
two students so you know running around and the teacher automatically she's like those are my students she's like they're doing the board meeting tonight so there's a lot of pride I think that Favven and Belle had in their French class as well as the teacher has in them so um I just think they're making a
favorable imprint um so very very mature and we're appreciative of all that you do in the middle school and what you will do don't favor we're going to transition into the rest of the meeting you're welcome to leave now if you'd like or at any other segment of the meeting you can
get up and go so you're certainly welcome to stay with no pressure we thank you for coming out tonight and for your contributions all right thank you thank you matilda matilda will be May 15th 16th and 17th of the show dates okay yeah of
course next month I'll be doing an independent project a $40 million budget you're going to raise a lot have a great night girls thank you thank you good job okay so continuing on uh with kind of
reintroducing members of our administrative team to members of the board of education uh it's my pleasure tonight to introduce Dr don Palano um who many of you know Dr palano but it's probably been a long time since he's actually appeared in the board meeting
to present uh and update you on all the things that are happening at Vancouver School uh Dr plan does an amazing job uh he's a rock as a principal uh he makes it look easy often times even though it's not we're certainly lucky to have
him and it's my pleasure uh to uh we welcome him this evening and I'm excited for him to share with you all the exciting things that are happening at Advanced Sky thanks just let Jimmy just set up because it's going to be flawless once he gets it set so let Jimmy
do thank you for that uh great introduction and I appreciate it it's great to see so many familiar faces here on the board and for those of you uh who don't know me as Dr mr car said I'm the Don Plan i'm the principal at Vans Skyver Elementary School um I have uh
this is my 18th year as an administrator in Haden Township uh all of which have been at Vans Skyver and I I really try to uh prioritize the importance of relationships with others uh whether that's with our students or our staff or
our families and a big part of that I feel is really getting to know people and making connections so I just want to share a little bit with you about uh some of my background uh to hopefully you know make some connections uh uh so I started my career in
education as a high school English teacher in the arch dasis of Philadelphia um at Archbishop Bryant High School which coincidentally is where I went to high school so that was an interesting time for me to uh go back to my high school as the young teacher
and see all of my uh former teachers there and be the the the young English teacher which now you know 30 years later seems like a lifetime ago but that's where it all began um I was also a high school English teacher at Sun Valley High School in Pendalco School
District over in Pennsylvania um I was also the soccer coach both at Ryan and Pendalco uh and I just mentioned that because I think you know I really appreciate when I talk about relationships that ability to interact with students on many levels i still try and continue that obviously with my
students at the elementary level at various events and being in the community and and just to have that different relationship not just as their principal but as someone that they see that actually um you know has a life beyond outside of the the four walls there uh you know you run into elementary students anywhere outside of
school and they're just blown away that you don't eat and sleep and and live at the elementary school so um but then um uh overall this is my 31st year uh in education um I truly love my job and am
surrounded by excited students dedicated educators and very supportive families at Vans Skyver um I try to lead by example to ensure that our school has a very positive energy and offer a welcoming environment for everyone that enters the doors um and that really
starts with our front office and our teachers uh who continue to carry forth um that welcoming environment and they do a wonderful job of that making everyone feel safe comfortable and happy at Vance Skyver so tonight I'd like to just give you some more insight into the
many factors that make Vance Skyver such a great school um we are the largest of the five elementary schools in Haden Township with many different moving parts as you can imagine uh with that many students of staff we serve 350 students from many different uh cultures
and backgrounds including 10 ELELLL students and about 30% of our students um have or qualify for special education services under an individualized education plan we employ a total of 75 teachers and support staff
uh so you know when you when you think about uh Vans Skyver and and just the scope and the size of the building itself um it takes a lot of coordination a lot of collaboration and those are some of the things that that I'll be talking um that I'm very that I benefit
from with the support of my teachers and families so aside from just the pure size of the school Vans Skyver is very unique in that we educate and integrate uh a large population of special education students um these students some of whom are as young as three years old so any of those students that uh
qualify for special education services on their third birthday are able to uh if they qualify attend Vans Skyver in our preschool disabled classroom uh we offer a variety of um settings for special education students from
inclusion classrooms with a general education and special education co-teer model uh to self-contained classrooms where students may be assigned to Vans Skyver from any of the other elementary schools to receive specialized instruction and finally similar to the other four
elementary schools we do have pullout resource rooms to serve students in language arts and math and all these classified students spend a varied amount of time within the general education setting which really makes scheduling a very important and complex
consideration uh for myself and our teachers and as I mentioned we have that support from our teachers and to make all of that work we have a teacher committee called team which is together everyone achieves more and those representatives uh work together with me and other teacher leaders to help ensure
that our special education students are equitably included in all activities and events speaking of the Vans Skyver teachers um they're truly an amazing group of talented dedicated educators who demonstrate skill and patience in
providing instruction to such a diverse population of students academically socially emotionally and socioeconomically um each classroom presents a wide range of student needs and our teachers truly understand how to meet the individual
needs of each student through their interactions and their ability to develop strong relationships with each of their students uh so at Vanc different from some of the other elementary schools we do have three classes each in kindergarten third grade and fifth grade
and two classes each in first grade second grade and fourth grade uh we have primarily experienced group of teachers right now who collaborate well with their grade level partners uh they share resources they plan lessons together and alongside a group of nine non-tenured
teachers that we have in the building who then are able to provide some additional uh new insight to these partnerships while benefiting from the wealth of experience uh from those veteran teachers so as I mentioned I'm a strong advocate and believer in collaboration uh and
I've worked hard with the other principles and my teacher leaders um to create daily schedules that allow for common planning time um for grade level teachers throughout the week and in my personal experiences and based on current research teachers are more
confident and effective in the classroom uh when they collaborate with other teachers have the support of other teachers and their colleagues some of the academic focuses right now um within the district but also you know primarily advanced skyver have to do
with conducting some uh small sorry I have not been moving the slides there uh small group math lessons for more individualized instruction structured guided reading lessons and providing targeted and timely feedback for students um our teachers have
participated recently in several professional development opportunities for each of these topics and that's been a primary focus of my observations and postconferences uh with teachers so as I said there's many moving parts uh to Vance Skyber that
make it a special and unique place so in addition to the teachers large number of teachers that we have we also have a wonderful group of over 35 paraprofessionals that work closely with our students who require various levels of support to be successful in their
classrooms um these aids may work in a onetoone capacity or as a shared aid for two or three students that may require support as part of their IEP uh they work in collaboration with their teachers to provide necessary balance of
support while simultaneously increasing um the student independence so they're basically trying to work themselves um out of a position but but that's the goal um to really bring those students along so that they can be independent within those classrooms we also have a
number of related service staff members providing therapy such as occupational therapy physical therapy and speech therapy and these services are delivered in either a pull out or a push-in setting depending on that student and their specific needs another moving part to note is
that Vance Skyber has six buses that drop off and pick up over 150 students on a daily basis uh that transportation is prim primarily provided to those students who reside in West Kwood Heights or the West Kwood Extension um or those students with a specified need
of transportation as part of their IEP so you can imagine with a combination of walkers cars and buses uh during arrival and dismissal um that really pres presents some safety challenges um so as part of the bond referendum which I'm sure the board you're fully aware of
with for our community members here uh Van Skyver is scheduled to have a redesign of the front of the building to provide some wider access roads and a more organized traffic pattern for dropping off and picking up students and uh it'll just provide a much uh
additional safety uh during those times um and measures to better control traffic flow with that combination of buses pedestrians cars on the confined space at the same time so I'm excited for that project um I'm comfortable overseeing that process because I was
also here during the last referendum where um Vance Skyver had the additional or the addition of the all-purpose room and additional classrooms added so um familiar with everything that is involved in uh that undertaking over
hopefully that will be done over the summer and we'll open school with a brand new uh arrival and dismissal procedure out front i also just wanted to take the time to publicly thank our PTA um our PTA is an amazing group of families who provide so many activities
and events for our students from uh community events to school assemblies book fairs uh other student dances um our PTM members also volunteer their time in our library a few days a week um and these activities just bring an extra
layer to the Vans Skyver community allowing our students to have different experiences related to school uh to finish up uh you know I'm very proud to be the principal advanced guy as I mentioned I've been there for 18 years so obviously I enjoy what I do i love the people that um are part of that
community um at this point I've I've been involved in hiring probably 90% of the teachers that are there um and just really appreciate working with such a dedicated group of faculty and staff um we like to take time to reflect on our successes in a way that uh continues to
promote progress and continue growth um and you know there's this basic sign that that hangs in our hallway and it it just simply says "Work hard and be nice to people." And and it's it's very simple but I think it it sums up um what
we're all about at Vans Skyver where we have large goals we accomplish them um but I think everyone is pretty humble about the great work that they do so thank you for your time i appreciate the support of the board um and my fellow administrators i don't know if anybody
had any questions about Van Sky any questions excellent job D everything that you do top on top level thanks for coming out it's a great uh presentation discussion questions from the board what do you like the best on um I I I think honestly the the
busyiness of the school there's just you know there's always something uh going on and you know for me because kids will ask me that well what do you like being about being a principal and I say I I have that ability to go into any classroom at any time uh to go outside of the playground to go into the lunchroom you know so that that
flexibility of uh seeing teachers and students in just different uh you know different roles different activities throughout the today and um there's there's really never a down moment to be honest good to see you yeah thank you dr this might be a challenging
question but looking back over your 18 years is there like a a memory that really stands out or a really inspiring moment or just like something that feels defining in your experience as the leader at Vince that is uh I I know some
up 18 years very quickly on the spot you know it's interesting because it's not really 18 years when it was probably I think it was my first or second year when Vance Skyver had their 50th anniversary um I don't know Rene if you were part of that time or uh when I was first started but I doubt it now belle's
only eighth grade but um it it just I guess this is the the trajectory of everything just you know seeing the the outpouring that entire community supporting and just being so proud of the school like I said that was my first or second year
um and and just the the event that they put together and all the former students and staff that came and then just you know for me now to be a part of that and when I look back when students come back or even now we have some um you know teachers on staff that have graduated
going to college and come back and just that full circle of kind of being a part of that process of educating students having them become community members themselves and uh yeah it's it's pretty rewarding i was there yeah yes
i have a I have a member always saying that Dr that stand you always stand out um because you see you got yourself with such a low profile and such humility that I met Don and our kids were participating in youth basketball
together when they were seventh graders we were going right into co and we happened to be playing in a tournament that was got moved outside and it became like a pretty hostile type of environment even though we're outside and on the team you know I had Drew
Palano Drew Palano's best friend was kidding Quinn McGovern Quinn McGovern's grandfather happened to be standing behind the bench had no idea at the time anyone was an education simply focused on the game and comes down to the end
and Don's behind the bench and this Mr mcgovern's behind the bench and I'm like rough in the timeout like Drew get the rebound you have to get the rebound if you want to win the game and I'm really giving it to the team and uh I think we did pull out a win that weekend we did
win that game yeah but the next Monday you know you had notified me that that I had gotten the job here in Hatton Township and um I get an email from Don Palano congratulations welcome to Hat Township can't wait to work with you i'm
like this guy's going to think I'm a raving lunatic and then the past superintendent's grandson Jack McGomery is also on the team so I was worried I was going to go off to a rocky start uh but that is the one thing that uh that will always stand out to me how I met Dr
dr milano the principal as opposed to just the dad so do great things here everyone you know it's not a week that goes by that I don't give compliments for about Dr pano against so thank you for all your contributions appreciate it thank you all right
[Applause] anything else in the superintendent report uh that's all I have no i think it's a good idea john I think you want to give us the push on bringing the uh principles out for another meeting i think it's been successful i would like to bring um Miss Rising and Mr swisigian
in May because we've done a lot of good work at the middle school and I think it's important to hear from them uh before the end of the school year if that's okay with the board yeah great it's a nice thing good to see everybody great
all right section seven presentations we have no uh formal presentations tonight so we'll move straight into section 8 finance and facilities can I get a motion to approve items 8.1 through a
moment 8.16 so move second do we want to talk about Yeah I was going to say before before we jump into questions just wanted to we we are approving a tentative budget tonight to submit to the county tonight is the deadline to be able to do that as a
board for folks who were there last night you heard um there is the potential of some additional state funds available we want to make sure that we have access to those should they truly become available by ensuring we're hitting this timeline uh but it is a tentative budget we're going to continue
working on the budget process what is tentatively in there is again for folks who were there last night it was option number two that was covered which is a tax increase of 9.3% of the school district portion of
taxes uh utilizing our bank cap uh and some healthc care adjustment costs as well so there may be some changes uh the highest output that yeah that is the highest uh taxing that we can do as a board this evening there may be some
adjustments and like I said we're going to be working out some uh of the finer details over the next month or so we will have our final budget approved at our special budget meeting on May 6th just so I'm clear the 9 whatever that's
the that's the floor we can't go right we can can we go below that if so this is just tenative correct anything could be changed on this this is 6 is when you actually adopt the budget but this is the one that makes it possible for us to get more money according to the
information that I have by doing this it will kind of signal to the state that we're meeting our responsibilities to move the community towards local fair share and we'll be eligible for this tax levy incentive program that they have developed in recent days
but if that tax levy incentive program is dimminimous correct mentioning something then we we all everything else goes back on the table yes okay either way everything else goes back on the table fair enough any questions about section 8 can you
explain the um the homeless tuition that which item is that uh sorry uh 8 813 sorry sharing your computer is not working i can't get into that 813 so
these are uh students that are homeless from Hen Township and once they are doiciled in another town for one year it is their town's responsibility to pay their tuition so we are going to build that town for their tuition okay
thank you i always get confused i know yeah thank you it's clear as mud uh I want to explain to you that the New Jersey ARM that you're approving this evening so that's a new account that we're opening up it's an investment account that we're going to put the bond um money in while we're waiting to pay
for our um projects and that we're doing that in order to earn a higher rate of interest any other questions 10 8.15 just the the mercury on the floor that sounds way scarier than probably
what it is but just it is way Yeah yeah it's it's the floor in the locker room and in order to there might be mercury in that the levels are very low but everything will be sectioned off they're going to do that over spring break and take off that floor i just don't want
someone seeing mercury on the floor so so that's like an abundance of caution correct okay any other questions roll call miss Billingsley yes

is they have how many days to review comment and then I guess the big thing would be we're waiting we're still at the mercy of the state correct regards to the state in terms of cut tax levy and separate program i may no more on Friday morning i have a superintendent round table i'm sure this will be the topic of the day
um the state has been very sympathetic to us in their words in terms of the timeline that they understand that we're under but yet they have not moved the sticks in terms of the requirements that we calendar so once again we're kind of at their
mercy when it comes to the timeline but we're doing the best we can to comment five I will commend the board there was a smart move uh last night that was a good push that was the board's idea to have that community meeting before tonight that was the right call kudos to
the board uh I did the best I could to present the material as clearly as possible but the the the commission for that uh meeting was all your idea wants to thank you last night was great i think Mr l was that your initial come on everyone knows it
