just selling from home Point Seven. Five. No, facial features. Probably don't really care, right? Doesn't even have a head for this system. Likely, it's still there. Oh,
oh, yeah. Okay, that's To, for sure don't really have. Okay, let's return. All right, we will move on to
the present, right to presentation, right? Dr. Pillow Well, alright well you're right. That was faster. Always get all that good words.
Oh yeah and you were a couple minutes late. We did all that. Really cool. Oh, All right, good evening, everyone. I'm going to give a brief presentation on the most
recent New Jersey, graduation proficiency assessment results. So, the NJGPA is the graduation requirement assessment. That's administered annually to students in grade 11. This is done typically in
late February, early March, every year. And this proceeds, in New Jersey, Which is the standards assessment that happens in grades. Three through nine. So
essentially every 11th grader is state. New Jersey takes this demonstrate their readiness. If students are not deemed, right? It is they have one
generally, one of three alternate pathways to gain that to gain that readiness. Historically, our school district scores of very well in these on this assessment,
however, like all other tests of achievement that we take, there are always areas for improvement. so some of the data this year and this slide shows you
achievement from the last three years. So overall we have a 93.5 graduation readiness across all subjects From the Spring 2025 administration, we showed some slight district-wide
improvements, the district overall. Graduation readiness has shown a positive trend, increasing from 91.8% in 2024 to 93.5 and 2025. Are. we continue to have outstanding
ela achievement with 97% of all students demonstrating graduation readiness in 2025. This figure is significantly higher than the state average
of 80.7 SO That's, that's a reference point. 80.7 is the state average in that area. Math, graduation readiness for all students and create
increased by 2.8 percentage points over 2,000 Ford administration. We're currently at 88.6 And 47% of students not passing math and ela our students with special needs in math. It's a
hundred percent. So all the students who didn't pass or students especially needs As of 723, the Nutrients Department of Education has not confirmed the the three
additional pathways or those three pathways I discussed Orion I say the additional pathways of one is achievement on
an additional assessment By that the state recognizes once the SAT another was a PSAT, The second is administration on an alternative assessment, like something called the
accuplacer, and then third is a portfolio review, that can be done for some students. Can I just clarify by pathways? That's for those students. Who didn't? Form. Efficiency, correct. These are
alternate routes that they can do to demonstrate their proficiency. When I want to add that the another pathways to retake the
assessment. So for example. so, Over. There's when we graduate our classes, we have to report the state which
pathway they told the Njgpa Sat PSAT. So that's that's all part of state report. so distribution of achievement by subgroup General Gen ed students demonstrate
very high graduation, right? In this achieving 100% in ELA, 94% math notable area for improving, is our students with special needs who had a significantly lower graduation readiness rate
of 52% in math and 65% for all results in 2025 and again, to give a reference point on the actual numbers. We're talking about, I think, the class of 2026 is about, 212, students
something to you first currency. 18 less than that. So they give you an idea of those percentage, we're
group of students. That's the Njgpa report. Yeah, and one of the Key points that we had asked in committee to was comparing our
scores to other Jay districts. But that information, the district factor groups is not out yet, right? That that that's great. So here's what stays statue is when testing results, get
released to school districts, they then have 60 days to report that to their Board of Education. Typically.
we get statewide results, understanding how each school district did some time in early fall. So around the time, we do our New Jersey SLA, data presentation, It's around that time that we get our district factor group
data to allow those comparisons. So we'll be able to circle back with that. Now. Last Those results came in like, literally, 48 hours before supervisors did the njsla presentation. So we're able to
build that in. So, depending on the timing will either do it with our initial NJ SLA presentation or shortly thereafter in that date becomes available. Thinking. And actually, if you
want to actually a quick reference point, I was only able to put, I, I couldn't find many other school districts. The only way I would get that their
data is by going on to their website and hopefully, hopefully they, they posted, the only thing I was able to find was West, Windsor Plainsboro. Last year as presentation, they
were 97% for Ela that were eight ninety. Eight point. Three were a little higher than that and math. They were 93, We were 88 points, something so in the Fall
Park, with its school district like that, which a Penny School district, Like, you know, other words, Special, Ed numbers compared to everyone.
Percentage of students. Yeah, I mean obviously Jim we're really really good but so overall I I don't know what so you're asking, what percentage at that
particular class, can you go to the Yes? Yeah, okay. So I can't even read it. 65% of special ed students. Passed, how does that compare to
places? You know to the average in the state for example I didn't include the state data
comparison on here. I I said, average. Oh, are we doing? overall, we're doing very well room for proven with our students, with special needs.
Yeah. Okay. Like, are you asking comparison to general population or you're asking comparison comparison to other special networks? You
know, there was a comparison of our gen pop them. to an average. I don't know that average was despite before this yeah it was like 80 and we were in the day. I thought it was so
you're asking how our specialist students are performing against the state average, You want to compare like Yeah like Yeah how are you? It's
obvious for doing terrific right but I love to see if that's special. Yeah and in looking at how to how to address meats for the special
attitude to get raise the special needs look at I Any other questions? Thank you. Fox, you are up with our bi-annual HIV report. I feel you
are here as much as I am here. As I just saying the Russians. Like you do a lot of presentation, but it's a good thing, right? So, so, Perfect, awesome. Alright, so
good evening. I'm here to do our biannual superintendents report for asking intimidation going and violence and vandalism which will happen later. A lot
of these slides I go through our statutory so they have to be in here so I'll kind of just go through them pretty quickly. However, there's one that you have a questions about let me
know. I'll certainly slow down all the data slides. There's our wonderful mission statement that we I guess, I sure. Maybe
right. Yeah, so reporting periods with two reporting periods. One from September 1st to December 31st and then report Period 2 is from January 1st
June 30th. That's the data that you're going to be seen presented today. our anti-boying specialists for the district is myself, it's a coordinator and then you can see right there. We have one for
each of our schools in the district, three elementary, two middle. This will be going into our third year coming out this week. Our third year with this
team, so it's good to stay consistent with that. There's our point 35512 that comes from the Anti-parts, derived from the
anti-going go of rights. The one thing I like to always mention during this is if something doesn't necessarily amount to be harassment,
intimidation and bullying. It doesn't fall under these credentials. It doesn't mean that we don't want anything about it, right? We still go through the Code of Conduct
process. Just doesn't mean that it may be meets these as far as substantial disruption or distinguishing characteristics. Those So here, what we start
with this is a self-assessment that we have to do every year kind of the best way to say this, really the school's grade themselves. It's kind of like looking under the hood of the car and saying. All right what's
going on? What can we improve? Where we where are we doing? Well, there's a timeline for it. The state releases a guidance in June. They release
it for example during this year, throughout the summer, the administrators will work to go out the self-assessment. I present it publicly. It's this
meeting, October 31st is required submission, date to the school to see. And then the state will and sometime in the spring release. Our final grades, typically, it
is a great submit with once that is submitted or once those grades are released, it was in May this year, I attendance to get them post on the school
website. So the self-assessment, what is it? So there's core elements, right? So there's eight core elements, you can see up here and then
under each element are certain indicators, right? So the they look at them that amounts to be a total of 78 points. If you get a perfect square, if you will, the way the safe rates it
down, is, you would get a zero. You do not need the requirements of one, if you partially meet the requirements, a two, if you're fully meeting the requirements and then three, if
you feel that you're exceeding, the requirements, Our schools do great, most of us where we definitely meet all the requirements and exceed in
many, many areas. You can see the scores here central out of 73 Positive, hadn't had a 73, HMS 78, Hmhs 78 and Tatum at 77 Central and Elizabeth Hadden. They felt like there were some
room improvement with personality as far as letting personnel, know about the HIV policy, those things they have a lot of people coming going with AIDS and ella ways, and why not?
So that's where they kind of said that there was maybe some room for improvement there. So, the school report for 2425.
Report you can see our data. It's broken down by schools. I'm just going to focus on the total numbers. So, from January 1st to June 30th, we had 16 total reports
of those 16 5 were determined through principal preliminary. Determination not to be investigated. That usually means that when we looked at an initially, we felt that there was even though distinguishing characteristic or substantial disruption they own, in that
case, I can say fell. It was pretty clear, there was no distinguishing characteristics so it was no reason to move it
on. If there's a question about substantial disruption, we always move back. That's kind of a bit of a harder thing to identifying so five
non-investigated throughout the district four were confirmed HIV and then seven not This is a category breakdown of those 11 that we investigated one was on race One was on
religion. One was on gender two were on sexual orientation. One was on disability, five on other other can be things such as weight hair color.
Overall, for report period to. You can see our comparisons. So last year, so for 2324, we had 29 total cases. We investigated we saw a decrease this year, so down to 16 total cases, we're
investigated. So we're very happy to see that across the district. and then if you look our district comparison last year total 23 24 school year
compared to the 24 25 school year. Um we drop from 40 and 23 24 down to 32. So we saw an heat investigation increase. So once again, something that we are happy with, What is what
are we thinking? Is helping this. It's a continued. Focus on Swertific. Sort of community meetings, assemblies educating students about various groups. I'll say the middle schools done
a great job with that, which is obviously kind of a big area where you will see, you know, going to an extent, the NJ Sky Climate, Survey we did this year, we're gonna be digging into that. I
hadn't been over the next few weeks. And by doing special, it's me with me four times a year. We do a legal one and Jpsa anti-going goal rights
community presentation we did last year November. I actually just booked it. We're going again and Sharon, November on November 18th, and I'm going
coordinator and anti-bullying specialists are attending Trust stress. As me ABR trainings, We're going again, September this year and this is an interesting one that I included this year. As you know,
we talked about stop it. And you know, we rebranded that and whatnot we went from in 23 24, having eight reports submitted
to us to 30 reports this year. Now those 30 reports I will say non-necessarily roast the level we couldn't, we didn't move them any forward but I think just the students knowing that Hey, I'm yeah, I was reported your call down. We like the
respect the process of being anonymous, right. There is a way we can talk to. Whoever is reporting it a lot of times. they don't respond to us, right?
But I think just the students knowing that I think definitely played a part in that. So I didn't include here which is interesting too. There's a lot
of research out there about the arts and at the arts are thriving in schools. There's a decrease in HIV, We know, we've been talking a lot about special at middle school, and
the growth that we've seen there. Um, so I'm actually include that on the side. Is it a coincidence? Is it perfect? I don't know. But we are. I mean,
we're next year, we're slated to have over 55% of the middle school involved there. So yeah, so that's a, could be an indirect impact it. Violence,
Amanda wasn't important. It's the second one. This is the seven areas that we have to report to the state center
around suspensions. It's going out of school, HIV. By violence, Spandauism threat, theft. Substance abuse and other
incidents leading to removal. you can see these are report breakdown for elementary schools Central has neither in school suspension. No one school
suspensions a lot of school suspensions hadn't know. We had one in school suspension which was a half day Resulting from a violence. Tatum had one in
school suspension which is a one day so you can see the totals right there. And this is just for report trade, too. For the middle school, there was one in
school, suspension, two out of school suspensions and then one two out of school. One day, suspensions and then one three day out of school, suspensions out of school suspensions for other
instances. Leading to removal percepts, where they film. Or the high school. You can see here the chart three in school suspensions, one day, two in school, suspensions
today. Five, well, one in school suspension. It was a five day three out of school suspension. So we're one days, three out of school, suspensions, that were two days. And one out of school
suspensions, it was one day, you can see the breakdown. There are 71.4% where other incidents and 28.6% were fat.
And this is a great chart that C2. You can see from last year, we only went up slightly one in school suspensions but we dropped by 10 on and like I've said before my last
presentation, and chronic clock, you know, ties in with climate and culture. And I know the middle school and high school are using Saturday detentions a lot more. And I think that's definitely
something that we're seeing here. So I think that's that direct reflective of that. Um, I mean, you can see for out of school, suspensions for 23 to 24. We're down total across the
school from the school year. We went from 63 down to 36 and for in school suspensions, we went up slightly from 13 and a half. Of course. Over here. And that,
is that. Impressions. So I think that you hit on this, you know, the suspensions are down Because maybe because they're down and
things are getting better. And maybe it's because we don't suspend as much anymore. We found another way to do it 100%. So I mean all the the chart can be misleading
because of course they're down because we're not, we're not doing as many, I guess the more important question is with what has has taken the place of
the suspensions, which is the Saturday detentions. or the removal of open campus the high school, right? Yeah, I guess the more important thing is how do we feel about the
effectiveness Happening. So I mean I would say that's probably more of a building level to answer that question. I would say, I point of view, I think
when you look at this data and a correspond to our hit data, obviously there's you know, students feel safe coming to school, they're not reporting things. That doesn't mean things. Maybe aren't happening,
but they're being addressed, and they are happening. I think, you know, we don't have an attendance issue, right? So I think that of correspond with that too. We don't have a
chronic acidism issue, where students are in playing that. So I think I would say from overall, I think what we're doing seems to be having an
effect, right? Because that we run our whole report, too. I know the middle school. Just ran their full code of conduct report and their numbers are down. Awesome. Work forever.
That's the question. if there were 20 Suspensions for vaping and now we're giving. The public Saturday intentions or pulling open campus order.
Now 20 vaping. And this is right. That's yeah, it is follow us. We look at it. Yeah, it's not. Suspension. Saturday detentions, or at the numbers of loss of open campus?
Yes, that's certainly numbers. Yeah, really interested in that for next year because then we can start tracking, right? So we can track. Now those numbers
aren't going to inform us a whole lot right now, because it's the first year we're implementing this new discipline code or structure. But next year we we
can use that to see what they are, but I like Chuck's idea too. A breaking it down to see what, Because, a lot of that, right, informs. We were just
talking about our district goals, right? And that informs, what kind of outreach we need to do for students. Which also
brings up one of the one of the questions I had. for the hivs was the category of others and there was like five and do we, and I know you probably haven't idea of it. Um but what those others
are because sometimes we see trends, and the thing that jumps in my mind, that we see a lot is size, right? Like you were saying, Wait, wait size. I think
they go. In category. They were all honor other height. Yeah, hair color, right? All those things. One and I will say it's not necessarily one pops more
than the other. they're coming. Okay. Yeah it's me one of weight. I think we have one or two of hair color. one of was an incident that
happened. Yes. So like there's nothing that really like jumps out. This is okay, well all those five four were of this particular distinguishing characteristics. Nothing jumps out. Like Because that is certainly something that we always are looking at Anti-boin
specialists. We're talking about in our meetings and we talk about the cases and all those things, right? This is something we'll get into.
In the fall. But I just pulled up a metric from our most recently ministered climate data, and when parents were asked a
question about whether my child feels safe at school, 100% of parents agreed or a strongly agreed or agreed that their children. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I I think rob your reference one of the bullet
points around the climate data as Gino just reference, that's fantastic. And parents are feeling feeling that because their kids are. And I I also
appreciate it the uptick in terms of the Stop It app. The use of the app, right? Because I think that that if the expectation that we're
conveying in any and all forms is hey this we will not tolerate bullying for any of these reasons or any reason, right? And the fact that kids are
actually using it speaks volumes whether or not they materialize is an official hit. No, I think just the minds just someone being called down because they got a report is enough special for our students.
Oh all right. Yeah I do have to check what I say, how I say maybe I didn't mean it this way but it definitely, you know, had an impact on something
right? Or if I did, someone was paying attention and that's not acceptable. Yeah, either way. Yeah. We have. Um, and I remember the rebranding and and
all that, which I'm so glad that was effective and I'm also thinking of the complacency we get where we forget. Thank yogurt and forget about it. Do
we have plans for like, annually rolling out? Like this is the just to remind students, it's there. Yeah. Why would I think that, they'll Yeah. Well, on the middle school and high school, I know they plan on
doing at the beginning of the year. They go to the classrooms if you community. Meeting on. As far, I will say. Forget
about this came at the end of the year and we rolled this out many years. So, yeah. Like May June, right? So was that? So, um, you know, I think just
having the fires maybe shifting the flyers around, so they're in different spots so when they walk. Yes. So where that fire was last year now somewhere else and all sudden it catches them
off guard. So yeah and then I had not talked to Miss Anna, I don't know if And making this yearly project where they're going to, you know, freshen up the pliers this year and do a
whole new set of pliers. This is the project it was on the digital art quest, the high school so that may be an option too that we get a new set of flyers for this year and that
just becomes like a yearly thing. I certainly something. You know, I'll explore with her but I think definitely, you know the middle school. High school particular that's worse.
That's where they all come from. You know, they definitely are gonna be here, you know. Letting that everyone know that that's a option. Thank you.
Anyone else? I mean, I shared this earlier with us in our retreat, but I think in addition to the great work you and the other anti-bullying specialists are doing are classroom
Teachers are really putting a lot of this into practice like my first grader had a hard time at a sport thing and I had asked terrible. What do you do if someone babes explain your
classroom? She said People don't believe this way in my classroom. Everyone brings their best self to my class. And I was a floored and immediately
sent her teachers like whatever you're for classroom management. Keep it up like That you should know that. Like, I think that that it's carrying
down the work that you're doing. And that's yeah, I know the staff doesn't amazing job and at the middle school high school across Florida. Every
once, you know, working for that common cause well, I think it was even nice being here to like, see the flyers around here because I don't know that I noticed in as much like in the
high school, but I also think it. What's great about hearing that people are actually using the app, it's a way for both accountability but also
validation Of that like for someone to feel that they can reach out and they're being heard even if they don't want to then talk about it afterwards. But that something is happening
and there's a vehicle for that conversation. Yeah. And I think that's very empowering for our students. And again, the student voice that we talk about like
that's really a piece of it too. To be able to say Hey this is happening. I'm not really comfortable with it. Absolutely. And we always the minister's, You know, myself, Mr. Ruben Mr. Trump, we always respond. I mean
we're pretty much instantly those because they come to our phones and everything we're within minutes. We're like responding, like, Hey, you know, could you give it whatever? I
will say of the 30 We maybe got three or four responses, right? But that's fine, right? But at least they know that we saw it and we always say, We will be following up with this, you
know. So I mean, you know, kids songs and they yeah. so,
Awesome. Thanks. Yeah, very much guys. Thanks. Okay. Referendum, progress update with
land associates and foyers. Okay, that's behind it. Thank you for having me. Good news is, we'll keep the good news rolling. Great performance reports and I think we'll have the same today on the referendum
update. So, a few days ago, we distributed an update to Mr. Klausen and Mr. Catalano, and I'm gonna kind of hit the highlights, same kind of format and document as you've been
seeing with everything that's changed in bold yellow, So a little bit, I don't want to try to cross over. I'll give call yours, they're pound of the construction side but I'll talk
more about the design process and where we're at. so, One of the first projects that's kind of InDesign and pushing heart to get out in the streets
is the 1890s interior alteration job right now that's actually been submitted to call yours to do their phase review and cost estimating validation right
now. We are concluded with the DD phase. We're looking to bid this job with a targeted of August 15. So we're getting very close to that project.
Everything on our end has gone as it planned on the design side, we can find any unfores. So we're optimistic that project will be very smooth and The just give you the feel for the overall milestones of that job. So we're looking to award
it at your September 25th, meeting, ideally predicated on seeing favorable numbers and bitters. Right now, I think we have a good tabulation of several seven general
contractors, that have plans so far. So, that's a good interest about the scene on their pen, a few of those, on the list are probably just fishing to see
what it's about more than pursuing projects. Landing colliers will continue to reach out, but a bunch of the firms that we'd like to work with and have had good experience, but
already pull the plans on our projects. That will be substantially complete, the next August, that's approximately a year-long construction process just give you a feel. The nice
thing is, it's completely isolated from the building until we break through and connected to Central school so we can proceed with construction with minimal invasiveness Obviously
a little bit of sight, traffic. That would be the biggest challenge on this site is logistics of contractor parking material stage. Um, sorry,
that's well, that's impact on the playground at all for central or no, no, absolutely keep the playground. Cure and Usable The upside to it
is no interior alteration. So really, it's the contractors arrivals before students and the intermediate foot traffic in and out, but a pretty comfortable with it and it's nicely. Don't
even have to enter the school facility. So if you for those of you don't know, that is a complete got rehab of the original Board of Education offices, to create new
classrooms teacher, amenities etc for extensions essential With that, we'll move on to the historic relocation so a few things are happening. We met this afternoon with Mr. Klaus
Mr. Catalano. We have asked the owner to set up. We've made an initial contact with the store preservation commission here in town. We've done our research, we've got the specialty
consultant on board for our work. We're also setting up a informal meeting to discuss some site concerns and issues that
are out there. Don't expect any surprises but that'll be an ongoing process at what. That project doesn't affect the current design project, it's
underway, which is the athletic field just so, you know, receive it yet but fields. Now we hold down? We've already done. Our survey work that designs in play
what we've done is We had two projects for the athletic field. We had the non-referendum field a space and then we had all the show amenities and parking and came in the referendum. We
decided to combine those into a single overall project. It's just a budgetary out, information catalano about which talked with the money come from, but there's some
efficiency to being on site with one localization, one on site. Get it done. We've already worked with Tim talking about some tree cutting and things
that are going to go to clean up the site in advance and we're moving along that Kind of touches on the field amenities. Right now what we're looking at is We're kind of in
that DB phase on that project as well. Nothing's changed on our end, we're targeting and getting that around the end of the school year. Because the reality is, if you can't start that one
prior to the winter, you might as well, wait till the springs so it's going to be a spring start when the weather breaks. And we won't be able to start that sooner. We won't be able to, I don't expect. I mean, you
never know about the over-perform, right? So we'll see if it it advances. But it's really gonna be weather. Depending because what I worry about is, we might have that
miserable October, and we lose the benefit of getting down a little bit sooner. Anyways so I always in terms of going out to bed, you said Going out to bed
earlier is pre. Start the work till later. Right. We should still be fitting it, though. In January or February, right? We're looking at the summer, right? Awarded in January. Our goal,
you're gonna see overarching theme is nothing gets award. Ed past kind of February, except for those first couple projects as we slammed them into play.
Got the moving. That's the industry. Standard nowadays is what? You know, he's contractors expect a little more liberty on the front end. A
longer process of bidding, the project blossom sharpen their pencil to be able to competitive for you, and then the front end time in advance of the construction schedule, allows them to procure, all
their contracts, by all other subs, build their materials in line, makes it very efficient construction process. And we've seen that with the elevator that's kind of religious test of
this process. That works very well. The next big one, an exciting one challenges. The tatum third floor, second floor
edition over the 1991 story portion of the building. That project and the addition on the second floor patent are concurrent with one another. As far as the schedule goes
where we are right now, is the CM submission is due around August 15 to call yours for their process to do their design review and budgeting with the
target date of October 30th, it's not two and a half months in advance. The bid with these bigger projects, we need to allocate additional time for colliers to do their review
because the MVP structural system, etc, far more complicated, a lot more cost estimate efforts and we want to make sure that we give my Teammatically time to
incorporate any comments or concerns that come back to us before we get I'd like to have clean bids. I don't like addenda
cause contractors to stress the bid and that causes them to put unknowns into their bit and that just means more money for you. That project will have a big date of October 30th like I said
with the targeted bid opening of December 4th so we can award before the calendar year. The hadn't second floor edition as well as the elevator addition single project. One thing I
wanted to mention is we've gone through the procurement kind of revamp this week that we call yours delivered that to the district after Atlanta, Collier went back to court multiple
times. So we've consolidated some of these big packages, that's why you're gonna see more of a holistic fit package for building moving forward. So
it hadn't were looking to incorporate both the second floor Media Center edition and classrooms as well as the elevator edition and modifications to the courtyard. That's on the exact same
timeline. As I expressed with Tatum. We are August 15th to submit to CM callers with a targeted, midday of October 30th, a targeted bid opening in December, 4th and not healing. We awarded on the 11th
of December before we go out for the School break. Those jobs just to give you feel, I think we have the same kind of construction. Yes, we
do. So mobilization. Will be June 24th of 2026 the day after school gets out. One of the things we're looking at is that there's any possibility of some early work during the
school year on second shifts or weekends, if it makes sense cost effectively. These additions are going to be challenging, and the challenge is going to be to
get the heavy work, done. That first summer to get the building structure set. That way we're not wasting lifting over. We can't do it over occupied building. So we're trying to
keep the building structural frame set, it will be very interesting come school because you'll be still exposed each line up there with metal back on them.
but that allow this contractor to go continuously throughout the school year, the expectation is to get both of those additions. substantially complete the following August
1.7. The next project before us is the A wing and SEE-WING window, replacements, were pretty far along in this process. We are at the point of
the CM submission is forthcoming. A wing of the high school is pretty too shippo's review. So we're gonna work, we're working with them to get the materiality
and the aesthetic. We're doing some ornament and trim and matching mullions, Shippo's gonna want to see us. Preserve the fabrication of the historic gateway, with the new windows, That has a targeted bit be of
August 19th with a bit opening of September 18, and award of September 25th. Greenwich can be a little bit of a variable. So if it impacts us and shift things a little bit, I just want
to put it out there that could occur some of the state agencies. We don't have a lot of opportunity to push them, but we'll try to hold that schedule
and get this project moving. It'd be nice to do that as a single larger package again. procurement buying power, the cost efficiency at scale. You
just tell everybody what ship always. Oh yes sorry no no see I'm sorry. Speaking acronyms like everybody does to me and I don't understand yours. It's a state historic preservation
office. Thank you. Last referendum. I was obviously involved, for instance, when we did the roof replacement on a wing and we did this synthetic sleep. That's the original building. Look, Shippo had to
pick the color. We didn't have that ability. That's all fine at This, we have a few projects that are under call years review, the 1890s which we
talked about And then we're currently at the bid for the middle school, auditorium, which is great news. I mentioned we had seven bitters that pulled
the plans. We have a bit date of August 14th. We'll open at that time. We're hopeful Will awarded on the August 21st week. Then we'll mobilize a
contractor. Moving with a substantial completion. Are about medieval of 2025. from there, I would have gone into projects under construction, but
I'm going to turn that over. Unless you have any questions for myself. That I have one you. I understand the turf and all of the amenities of parking being combined. From
one. It makes sense. Given what has happened to timing but when do you suspect, there will be the substantial completion of the field. I'm sorry, I probably didn't review that
deep. We have mobilization on or about March substantially complete by June. 2020. Yep. Good, thank you. So hopefully
it'll be open for summer use. Thank you. Any other questions? Otherwise, I'll let let's take over the construction side of it.
Evening. So as Ron said, I'm gonna go through for the projects that are already construction right now. Starting with had an elementary in here, renovations, whether be
construction, still in the work, they started. They mobilized, they after school on the 23rd. The demos complete framing is
complete. Rough-in is complete, they have inspections that are ongoing all all the good story. And material for the most part is all on site and available. So
at this very moment, excuse me, the project is on schedule. I don't anticipate any issues we are still tracking the windows
which one component of the project that we did know that that was gonna be a tight deliberating installations. So we do have a contingency in any
event that that happens where we'll be temporary but From anything outside of that, everything is running really. Okay. Switching over to the
flooring abatement and replacement, we're doing that at three schools. I'll go through each one of them independently. So the Central schools, the one
we started on the Mercury the abatement is complete there. The testing in the air monitoring all came back good. Epic environmental monitor all that work. The flooring is
actually now complete there and they'll finishing up on the striping. So probably the next you know, it's not this week. Certainly next week though we'll wrap that project that'll
be pretty much done and we'll into close down. The trend here. This good stuff. This is fun to end up here. We like you always fun but we
deliver what the accurate information? Sherwood weather. Okay, so it had an elementary, excuse me. Beaten it, there is all
completed by B&G the air monitoring and testing. was complete actually air, monitoring results. Just came back, probably, two hours ago,
an hour and a half ago that it's clean. So now they can start to dismantle all the, you know, the apparatus that containment and right now interior solutions, the
flooring contractor is making provisions to start the flooring. next week. Again everything on that project is looking good as well. So he hadn't feel Memorial High
school. so again, we're doing a sort of a staggered approach so that when we are setting up the abatement as we speak, so that one will go into the mercury,
you know, flooring removal epical monitor that work closely to make sure it's sunny. Yeah. Consistent with all the applicable regulations and in the flooring, it's writing will
follow there. Right now, from a scheduling standpoint, it does look like that will be done. and ready for school but that you know, if something were to happen that would be the only
school that we might have a little bit of a lag, but it is very moment based on the timeline and amount of time that each one of the taken they're
doing really well. So I don't anticipate any issues and we have a contingency, right? If that's correctly. Yes, which is why we are that one last year. Okay, moving over to the
Haddonfield. High School with the Ada Stadium afraid. This is Levy Construction. Again, they started the day after school. the steel decking and
fabrication installation is ongoing the excavation for the actual chairlift. It's complete they're gonna pour that I believe tomorrow. All the concrete related to the foundations for the lift and the
chair lift has been approved. And it's in fabrication and we're waiting for an actual delivery date for the installation. So I'll be able to record that. Next time we meet
but again, everything is tracking on that project to be in good shape as well, just need to confirm the chairlifting. And then the last
project I'm going to talk about, which is, I guess a non-referendum project but one that we're managing and overseeing Is the elevator to
Seaway at the high school? Levy again is doing that one. Excuse me, framing and drywall. The new machine room is ongoing inspections are going on going as well. You can currently the new cabin
wiring is ongoing within the cabin itself. And all the material for the project is on on site. You know we this project we put it out early with with land, which was
a really smart approach because elevators usually take a long time just the fabricates. So It's been here. We just waiting to get started when school was
out. So, you know anticipate anticipate anything with that project either. So all four projects seem to be negotiate
and Questions. Good answer. I had something which I don't not sure if you were Ron would answer this. But knowing that this issue with elevators taking
so far out, how are we preparing for the elevator? That's going to be going into heaven? Are we making sure we're
moving on that while in advance? Yeah. That construction schedule is adequate to handle that. So what it's gonna be is as soon as we find the awarded contractor that's First of all,
we wish that anymore. Okay, because the elevator is just give you a feel for it, why they're so difficult is they won't talk to the GC including pays them half of the cost of
the elevator, literally won't do anything. So it gives them. 50% of the money blindly, then he waits a month first middle. And if you have to revise that middle, it takes another one. They're very slow. Once you get
an improve. So it'll they start to fabricate. It takes five to six months. The fabrication. Not gonna be nine months. Get it elevator on say, and then when
it comes to the construction of the elevator, unless the shaft is spotless, perfect and ready, and they'll elevator a guy will come out and inspect it and
tell you everything that drone, he won't start to work. So now almost like a punch list it's almost like a checklist that's probably items and you get the contract that gets every one of
them done. They won't even show up. I'm not sure how this industry in this facet has set the bar so high, but they've managed to have it this way and
we acquiesce so those, you know, construction will support that. All right, so we're planning. Okay. Guys, work on this.
And so many questions or comments. All right, moving on to committee reports. Um, I'm happy. So we just met yesterday. Did you guys? I
thought we were deferring to the next iteration to allow since we're versions though. Should we should be wait for that for next time? Like what do
you think? so, in order to give a report, they just work, and then You know, as I'm sure.
Yes. Specially I think, in terms when we're voting, is really one meeting. Yeah, perfect. All right, so yesterday, yesterday morning, we had our July curriculum meeting. We had a pretty busy good agenda. We
heard the first item was around updates around summer, curriculum activities. So we heard from all three of our
curriculum supervisors, Matt de Donato, who I think has had this last day. Yes today, yeah, and we're very excited that we have, Russia joining us in a few weeks. So welcome.
Matt shared some key activity updates, tons of activity actually. There have been major work around. Just reading. I have lots of
notes here. We have, there's been a lot of conversation around mid and end of your benchmarks for middle school, sixth and seventh grade in
particular. Let's see here. Gino will be on an interim basis, kind of
serving with another hat of supporting the Math. Math and science. Curriculum stuff until
we have rust in place. Rob talked about work underway around the PE audit findings and new revisions to health pacing curriculum. Katie Russo's gave some updates around activity in within the
Ela arena. Now that we're in year, two of audit, modifications or responses, I suppose. and, and some interesting work happening there, a new creative, writing
course that will be available in the fall and some potential modifications to ensure. Substantive reading within eighth grade. So novels not solely short stories and then
we were talking this. I'm giving you guys along update, sorry, because of my homie notes here we we were talking just a general comment that I think
it's valuable for everyone to hear that. We have a really strong curriculum development process here in place, and haddonfield, and with the great
work that Gino and our curriculum supervisors have led we really have very a very rigorous approach as well as oversight in terms of how our curriculum is constructed. and the work on
your way is rigorous relevant and Okay. I'll be talked
about. the level, some Enrollment. Observations relating to science courses and the ways that we are responding to that in terms of
Horses within, particularly around environmental science. We talked about loss of Title 2A, funding. and Gino will be the expert resource here, but I think the short story is that we are
still, we're still trying to get our arms around, what we can expect in terms of federal funding for professional development and as always, ensuring that we are, allocating what we
need to to make sure. I I can just give a for some brief caller to that. So there are a variety of federal grants that we typically receive every year,
the title to a grant is the federal government grant that we receive for professional development. How to filled school district receives on
average about $20,000 a year we've used that for like for example last year we did a lot of professional development on artificial intelligence. We did a lot
of literacy training through that title to a grant. So as many have been following the news that is one of the federal grants that is being with help states. So,
So right now, we're not anticipating getting any money and any of that money. this year. But I think we do our budgeting in a very prudent way,
where we don't rely on grant, funding. For. our critical infrastructure and planning because we do know, although we didn't anticipate that funds would be with help. We, we don't pull, put all of
our rates in that basket in that way we can be planned purposefully and we're not deterred from achieving some of our goals as a result of not receiving this Money, certainly
good in going to be less focused and less robust as it has been in the past without that access to that points. And the last
item you hit was. what Gino reviewed with us earlier in this meeting around the NJ GPA, which was encouraging to see. So good,
good conversation. Yeah and actually Mike follow up in your questions as we just asked about that. So I reviewed my data page again, the state has
not released. We don't know how we know how overall how students did, for example, once again, our graduation proficiency overall is 93.5. The state is 69.3, but
the state has not yet this aggregated that day that comes later on in but And, you know, the question, I mean, I do know
that we We never budget. Yeah, things that are ongoing costs with Grant which is a very good Thing. And clearly this is early on in the process, but I think with our budgets
and with, with the numbers continuing to shrink, You don't have it now. I'm sure But knowing what what the impact of
the loss of that funding will be like whenever you have a clearer idea of? Well, we're not going to be able to do this. Yeah. Clearly because we used
to have funding there, I think would just be helpful for everyone to to understand the impact. I'll give you two very practical recent examples of discussions. We've
had on this one. Was a request to bring back. do a second part of the professional development on the impact of artificial
intelligence in the public school setting that we did last year. we're not able, that's something. We had a cut from the butt, we cut from our general
operating budget within it, got cut and I had something in mind. Well for you get title to a funding. I can restore that piece so that is it good to
happen without the restoration of that fund. The elementary principles made a request to me and as we're developing the adopting our goals, they would like to implement a
A program by which executive functioning skills are instructed in the classroom. And my initial response to the principles. I don't think that can happen. We just don't have
the kind of flexibility within our budget both in our general operating budget, and through other revenue sources, like, grants that we've had in the past. So those are two very
practical implications for the upcoming school. Thanks.
Yeah. All right. Right. You finance, we met on the 15th we went over to curb projects, one was a c-wing elevator which they just gave us something
else. I need to do that. The stormwater pipe repair behind the stadium. We were waiting on a liner to come in. And then
he said We got there. progressing on schedule, they'll be at a September or October board meeting to give an updated person that be Honeywell
The Paint Crew for progress. We had six students. Tim reported to doing a great job there at, we're ahead of scheduled paying classrooms.
Good workers. It's again, a good program that Tim's running over there for the Pink Room. The stadium bathrooms. I think Chuck and Mike White
looked at a couple of other school bathrooms in the local areas. We're reviewing some upgrade options and then ultimately, we can get some pricing and see what can be done
to improve them to see if there could be some donations to do that because So we found what? We've come up. Would be very even up to 35,000.
Yeah, because 45,000. Something better. And what would that get? so, Some small things like adding a
couple more light fixtures. bathroom fixtures, which included modern recognization, so, like touchless water fountains. Blowers for for drying. Drying
hands. motion sensors for for toilet fixtures urinal fixtures and into a fixtures for flushing all of those things. And then also includes up potentially,
Possible for it for both bathrooms. To the boys bathrooms, a little bit bigger than than girls bathroom. So, obviously with size, the ones monthly the other, I think. And then we also, we don't exact
number for this. But one suggestion actually came from architect, it was possible possible like well, wrapping so like decals or something like that for aesthetic purposes,
that all came with it was about Yeah, and I relate that Carol actually is interested. In. So I did relay that. So we'll be in touch with questions. But that's great. I
mean I think it's a great two example of how we can, you know engage everyone and helping to improve the things that we just don't have the funding for this time. Which is great. Thank
you to stop the point. since our meeting, I did get enough. Storm water line. The original single one stadium.
The contractor has an estimated liberty of him, receiving the remainder of the line or that they have to install for August 5th with a starter remote and and installation of all that from
always intense. Chuck, that's the time. Sprinkler burst in the head and Field Memorial High School. Hence, where we're here today created, Can you talk a little
later? I'm not sure that sure. There's sprinkler burst in high school. Library. That's why we're here today.
It did a good amount of damage also has that correctly. We found some as fastest in the floor and created not the library. Otherwise I had asked you that I
isn't that? It wasn't another room they're not but it was, you know, the ceiling the flooring, there's a couple layers of flooring, there's a lot of work has to be done through here that will work with obviously
our Insurance carriers, to get that complete as soon as possible. Also the update, there to being that our
facilities team. did a lot to ensure that the damage was not much worse or it would have been without their interventions. So, who knows to them here? That work the limit 11 minutes of
water, did a lot of them but yeah we're getting a lot of our own people here. Richard staff on site, originally before, eventually all risk. It was the
The rest of they were into about 12:30 that night putting up, you know, cleaning up water and putting up dehumidifiers. Industrial blowers to just try everything
We know when the library will be functional again. so, The library. And you're working on with the floor back down, I mean
it's it's just a room with no rug right now, they couldn't give me a definite but I can tell you with a little bit of optimism. I think that they're gonna have that open for the start of
school. They just haven't told by once. Once they give me a definitive timeline on things, I'll share that with Chuck and Here we've discussed briefly communications towers. We discussed that in public
meetings in the past, we haven't made any decisions, we're not meeting any way but we're looking at alternative ways to raise revenue. We've talked to
it. Don't communications broker and we're also looking for potentially cutting them out and going directly to the registerings of the phone companies come and talk to us.
And then obviously a more conversation, but it's still. In ongoing conversation. We talked with the borough on any of that, I don't know if we should.
be called some efforts on that end, just because I think so that they Had a presentation. So, yeah, and a plan of Ruth itself, oh,
really told them were at the process. so there, there All right, any questions for Greg? Alright. Um, so is as someone doing maths, what are we do? We
have anything from He said that there was there wasn't okay. Um, Do you have anything? I was not here. oh,
We just had the yard. Yeah, yeah. So there you Um, any PTA
updates. anyone very quiet the summer, um, Yeah, I don't.
That's a priolo. Do you have anything? Nope. um, Mr. Klaus, I know you have your report. One of the things I know that there's
been a lot of interest about the lack of i, If you have some more information that you can at least add to that, about the
decision process and finances. I'll go to my report and I'll talk about the SRO and that process. That's not sharing motion. Good. You want me to do my
report while you're working? Yeah. Why don't you do here floor? So, um, I'm just briefly going to talk about the pilot which is been discussed. It was, it has brought up for their work
session on for the commissioners work session. As we know, just get everyone up to speed, there's the But good. So so
The pilot is that that they're discussing for the borough is a 30 year pilot. It's very long. and it is something where I really want to make sure that if we've discussed that, that the district is considered in this,
in this pilot, it's not necessarily that we are against a pilot. We understand the purpose of the pilot. However, Cutting out the district for
residential pilot is we have gross concerns about right? And I did write an open letter to them. Monday, before their work
session. I wasn't able to go Monday night. I was hoping to go, but I couldn't, so I wrote them a letter and I very clearly
outlined. What our position is that that any residential Pilot should incorporate money for the schools. One of the things I
think we need to stress. Is that? Entity. Right? I mean like we might have, they have the borough? We have the schools
but if they're sending students to this, if the residential properties are sending students to the school and impacting the schools that money then is getting paid to educate those
children by all the existing taxpayers. And what really alarms me is where you have situations like Tom's River which tried to declare bankruptcy because they're so
low and funds. So the state steps in and forces them to raise taxes by 20%. That's gonna happen if we don't make sure that the we're getting
funding for that and that funding can't be reliant on a handshake deal. It has to be something written because I'm not staying here forever. I'm
not sure about the rest of you but I eventually stay on the board. I'm the same on the board right here, how to feel, but I'm hoping I'm not in this, right or in the high school at
some point in my life. And so what we want is when we want this tape, we want something that's going to ensure that for posterity the 30 years is a really long time that they're more popularity
rare, something denoting that. We are having a fair share at the pilot into help support those students. And we also need to make sure that it isn't
a wink, wink, nudge nudge, Let's negotiate. Like, it has to be something that we can rely on when the current commissioners are no longer in office and
we're no longer in office. Because otherwise, we cannot guarantee that. We're not going to all find ourselves in a
situation where we're paying absurd taxes to educate families, who they're not being educated by it, by where by,
you know, by their entity or where, but all of their taxes went to the borough and right? And not us and we need to make sure because, ultimately, we're all impacted. and so, what we
want to make sure is that's really going to be so it's not necessarily that the pilot is a bad idea. I understand the rationale but A pilot without money that is denoted for the school district,
when it's a residential property, I think is really something that would be problematic. And so I wrote
that and in response Um, They did agree. They want to have a joint meeting, so this is important for everybody because people that come out, it's
really important. August 12. We're going to do a joint board of Ed and commission or meeting which reminds you'd like to smash up like that, you have to TV shows, you
know. So anyway it will give us an opportunity to really share our concerns. Their concerns have a conversation and listen to public input about about the
issue. So I think that that's the date. Yes, save the dates August 12th. We don't have exact times. They're meeting seeing the fluctuate. A little more than our. So, maybe six
thirty-ish, but I'm not exactly. And that's a meeting that's open to the public. It will be
Yeah. yeah, I think the biggest part is that, you know, from the, the borough standpoint is the, the district will you'll
get the money that you need. You'll get your money and, and that part is true. But that means that We'll get them here to do for
the school to to get that money. And you know, that's that's the new ones. I think that gets lost and it's important nuance and the way we get the money is by raising
taxes. Yes. And I don't I don't that's not like we made it very clear choice this year when our neighboring districts, we're
racing taxes. So some substantially and, and Because we're all the statistical situation, but we chose not to
do that and we need to I want to stay true to that as we go into this pilot and ensuring that we are able. I mean we are
statutory. Obligated to A lot expenses that, of course, these new properties are going to bring and so ensuring that we have money to support, those is essential and that there is a
written document and that's allocate. Yeah. I can see the boroughs. concern that we don't know how many students are going
to come. but perhaps that's something that gets taken care of in the document that there is a cost-sharing based on enrollment
But what we can't do is have 30 years, right? Nothing, right. Or or like, oh well, we'll discuss each year. Like, I'm like you said, if it's written and
right? There's a formula and we know what to expect. So for our purposes, right? important. But it has to be, it has to be written down. All right, so okay. So on my
report, this is our, We had three district goals. this year and there's a mission statement there, all of our goals, a lot of the missions dating and our
third goal was lifelong crossing lifelong learning critical thinking skills and we really focused on providing learning opportunities beyond the classroom. That's one of the things we chose to focus on
through the year, but we did. So if someone school initiative so we did some critical thinking work. Peace strategies to encourage a model faculty better teaching, instruction projects
and collaboration with historical society. We have our students go there and actually do work with primary sources Computer Application, labs updated, the real life issues are our
computer. lab, this loud and her team. They want to protect everything they want to. They did a great job, we were connection. Yeah, 24 speakers come in during lunch
to talk to kids and relevant field trips and outside the building to experience things. Middle school. We had a living voices assemblies through the eyes of a friend that's
exploring, Anne Frank's Life, and Best Friends perspective, We have Washington's 10, Outback. If you remember that? That was that was experience. and we've
got six thousand dollar grant the one stem classroom to be made into escape room escape room ability. So we were working that way to get some more initiatives there. Elementary
school new clubs and this is part of that going beyond the classroom pickleball podcasting clubs and a little bit, had a great, the young audience for
Arts and Learning Grant. They did a puppet puppet, a shadow puppet show which was a nice experience for three Great House. Awesome. Yes, it was really great. Um, an order to
cross the district Rob talked about this. This has been a focus It was called a couple years ago on. We've now got a K-12 Performing Arts continuum
we've overhauled the middle school schedule a couple years ago. You couldn't take music games, we could take music but you had a sacrifice, a lot. Now, we've worked that out that
they have the opportunity. You heard Mr. Fox say earlier, 55% kids involved, right? So, that was way up, because we've done that and participation and
reason performing groups, and then the journey Dodge Foundation we had faculty going work with the gardening five downs, Dodge Foundation on the grant and work at Architegration
showing how you can look arts in the curriculum to enhance learning. So that's all really good stuff. um, So beyond classroom. So any
elementary school for clubs and activities. We have you see here we have over a dozen offers at these school and general areas of music, leadership
student government academics, nine exceeding, 90% participation. Um and there's also PTA sponsorship, family and funded activities. more than 15 activities. You see a couple
there. I'm gonna, I have a list of all the clubs and activities and have the end of this. I'll go through those. But you see the wide variety of podcasting
pickleball, we have Mandarin Aviation Club all these things are available through the generosity the PTA and these very based on interest very based, and
availability, who's got time to provide and say, they mean, time of Richmond as well. So they get the kids in this during lunch to go in and do some more
envision. At the middle school. And this is an area, when, when we look at this and we've done this year long, look at this goal, this is the area where you look and say, Okay, this is
this is where we need to grab. This is where we're going. This is the area for growth. 22 offerings. Just okay, but not great.
They're very traditional drama, club student council. those things they don't there's not a lot of the variety of creativity. We see in both the elementary, you're seeing the high school but we do have more
than 500 students participating. And then there are eight different athletic programs. But part of this, look at this goal was to say where's There's our, where we doing
really well, where do we need to change? And this is it. I've already started working with Principal McHale to talk about. How we can change given we've already set up the budget
charter restraints. you're gonna see later, we cut $60,000 just like this year. on 22,000 student facing which are clubs and activities that had to go
away because of the budget crisis. Um, in the high school, they have 62 offerings on drama academics. In New York's more
than 700 students, participating, you investment club. The Pen Pal Club Morty's, message a Statistics Club. The Investment Club is a really neat
thing. The kids, the kids start this. They're using real money, the HGT is with them and this is not the Wall Street game. They have broker, they work with
the broker. They work with the HTT who holds their money and they are making investments in in stocks and bonds and they're growing that way. They hope to fund himself. And then there's
29 njsa in real programs and 84% participation in those. by the way, for those that were used to this, We are group two school
with 800 kids in high school. We have as many athletes as some large group force and five scores Washington Township. That's how much that's our
participation level. So our our 84%, which would represent x number is a significant number of Africa. Participating. Um,
so we're looking at opportunities we're looking at clubs and activity to be. they rotate based on student interests of right now. This may be something people were
interested in, but we don't lock it in if as it grows and changes, we change with it. The building principles are always looking to get better and find
other opportunities. Just because a club doesn't have 50 kids and it doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile club support to keep going. Oftentimes, some of these clubs that have smaller populations, that's all those students. Having the school. So
when we look at evaluating clubs and what we're going to do with them, we look for that. And so when we talked to show you some of the things we alternate eliminate and later on impacted,
Redundant Club. So if two service club that's very similar missions, and one's got a large population, was very small property reimbursed, those clocks. That's how we that's
how we eliminated some clubs others building administrators took over. There's still not doing the work. There's no more advisers billing insurance and
doing. So, there's all those that type of stuff going on. But that's that we don't use just pure numbers to evaluate. But you concerns, I just
mentioned this. We're looking closely at these. We've talked about the club redundancies 60,000 60, South 60,000, in stockings. And twenty when I say student facing,
that's clubs, And activities that have more for change emerged, I'm going away the other $40,000 or so is um local professor development
committees, those type of stifles where they're more operational. But the ones actually, impacting students was a 23,000 cut this year. These
are the impact, the clubs, the ones that saw it. So as this interact is now part of Leah. The pure partner advisor that initially take it over the robotics. See, first the high
school. Agt is fun to get this year. We put in a great funding for it. Thank you. leadership. We've lost a period of middle school. Strategy club went away and then peer leaders coordinators in the elementary
school right now making over by administration. So that's how we got those impacted offers. Here's a list of our clubs. This
is the elementary list and this will be up. I'm not going to reducing this will be up for On personal website next week. So
they're mostly elementary And here's the middle school. goes again, if you look at them very traditional clubs, And then
here's the high school offerings. The high school offers. You see, a lot of have asterix. They are Non-staping
clubs, they are teachers who are taking on roles and advisors working with students and not being compensated for it, which we greatly appreciate. And you
can see, once again, I talked about not just a number of clubs in middle school, but the variety of colleges, you know, some of the ones they have here.
a lot of these music clubs, and watch for lives. They're all very The Deep Offering Cost and then Athletics. Here's our middle school, athletics
program. We have nine teams currently going. crew is a self-funded program. That's what it is, not way back to pay to
play. And in the high school, here's our high school offerings. And once a crew in this one, is it pay to play golf is? Now coed, although we have
quite a large number of female golfers And the volleyball is a partial agreement. We pay part and parents get started with the funded. Um and then this is
this another look at athletics. This shows you not just this teams with the levels JV for a freshman varsity. And that's just a quick rundown of what we
looked at this year. We looked at that looking beyond the classroom questions. I mean, great, I love that, they're so many offerings. I think that so much of what
happens in school and adds to like with drops presentation about the culture. So much of that happens in these clubs and activities and kids, finding a
place to belong. And that's, that's where the middle school becomes really important to it, because that's challenging time for a lot of kids. And yet,
when we look at where we have our bulk of high interest or low interest in, that's, that's here. We have the least. So that's that's gonna be a focus
for upcoming a year to try to look and say How can we beat that up knowing that I can't throw out six more stipes to pay people around, six more clubs, that's a challenge. We have to
be somehow another. The other debate is for the high school. for those volunteer physicians, they meet during the school that right, so let me throwing lot, so the teachers aren't giving up
time before and after school. So it's an easier pillow swallow a little bit according my question. I was like, where is like, how do you distinguish?
What's stipend versus non-stipend like? Because, you know, I just think about how I think it's wonderful that teachers like passionate about
something and want to do something. But then I also just, you know, worry about like teacher burnout like if it's like, you know, but to hear
that if it's something that's more generally during the day on that kind of stuff like the other side of two is the high school clubs kids kind of run
the club here in the room with them and work as opposed to having to do the work. So hopefully we have most of the non-stiping clubs at the high
school level. That's you. So the elementary we have parent paid and PTA but I guess the middle school? No zero not. They had one Lego club, kind of, okay?
Are usually moved during them. Okay, thank you. And then Jamie asked you to talk a little bit about how we, our budget situation and how we Our recent budget, that's just
two year stories. This is the fiscal year that ended several weeks ago, July 1st and the one we are in now to be Angela first So the school year 25. Um these are we raise taxes 2.8 percent
two for almost 2.9 percent which is 1.1 million dollars and in 2005 2025, we reduced our operational educational supplies by 280,000.
Keep in mind that materials are cost more. So we we had to pay more for materials and had to cut 280,000, um, our operational and services which is Charles
Study Team Maintenance, Services Technology, Curriculum Services travel, which is Professor development and central officer services. We cut that just over
900,000. That includes a maintenance person. This is 2025 Um, personnel cost. We reduce our personal costs, by eliminating Central Register UM
and so that was a total of 1.2 million dollars in customer made in 2025. 2026 current year, we're in, we went 9.4, my 2.94 percent which was not something. Everyone aboard was was happy with they
thought that many thought that was too much. I live in neighboring, town. I'm up 13 to 15%. I think on my school taxes which is a big difference, the education
operational supplies over 300,000. So in the last two years, With cross rising, we cut almost 600,000 in supplies.
So we there's almost nothing left regarding anything, right? And the other point is it makes us trickier is when we used to have paper textbooks, you can make them
last a couple years longer now that they're online, you've got a pay year so you cannot skip a year on that. Otherwise you use those the education operating costs. We cut just over. A 1
million dollars. For total of almost two million dollars for the last two years. And then on personnel cuts, this is all to cut almost five hundred thousand
dollars this year. That includes our communication specialists on three um, and that's Important
staff easily is support staff. And when we made these cuts and then the SR is part of the educational operation service. So we made these cuts. Here's how I went, we cut off
Everything through that person out. Then we Eliminated a writing program in middle school. laid off two other
teachers and we had we were down to the end and we we had a fourth teacher or an SRO. and so, as we looked at this, and we felt that this district is safe that our police
response time is under three minutes. Let's I value this role. I was a strong proponent of it back. When we put him in with Larry was here.
Um, I believe he's good for safety. I think he's better as a role model for kids and he's a wonderful guy. Kirk is great. but I looked at a fourth teacher and this and the recommendation
came forward that Know how can we do this? How many, how many teachers can we use knowing that next year? We're going to be facing very similar problems,
like to challenges likely. So that's the rationale. How we got to where we are. I know, we're gonna I know we're gonna hear some opposition to it, I
appreciate that. And I empathize with, I understand that but I thought you should understand. that process to where we are and then the board, you know, public comment you
That I just think that it's what's really important. I know that there's a lot of complexity, but I think that there needs to be clarity that we're not saying we're going to remove safety
because we're trying to save money, right? So we have a multi-tiered security. posture in this. This school district and the SRO is not a critical part of that security
system SRO. Absolutely is wonderful. But that taking away that SRO does not decrease. The security. We don't have an SRO in every single school, so
it's not like the subway and SRO in every school and and nobody wants to talk about this stuff. But if something happens
at Elizabeth Hadden, which is on one side of town and the SRO happens to be at the high school that day because that the Rotates.
That person is as far away from the emergency as they possibly could be, whereas we have police who Superintendent Klaus has a direct line to the police and we
have people that are mobilized the panic systems panic systems. We have police that are already mobilized and not in a hallway that would then have to go get to Elizabeth Head. The response
time is is where the police are going to come in that SRO is amazing, but not a critical part of our security. Sure. And I
think that it's really, really important to know that every person here has kids and security of our kids is critical to every single one of us. And we're not saying we're going to throw out
security because we're trying to save a book that is not the message at all. The other thing I wanted to bring forward to is the buckets of money that we're
talking about, we have funds that are allocated and very specific ways. So we can't take money from a bucket that's allocated for facilities and put it towards a school resource, or
the referendum, or that there are restrictions on the way that we spend money. To, I know that this was a hard decision. I also know from Having kids at
the JCC when they were having bomb threats like a school cannot give you their security plan because that Makes it, but
we Feel comfortable with the liaison between the police department and the school. That it's not a safety but it
doesn't impact the safety of students. so, of course it as a Just and yeah. Okay um we'll
now begin open. Public comment generally comment before open public comment but we can talk a little bit after we hear people say. We'll now begin open
public comments session, members of the community are invited to speak for up to three minutes at this time. Greg will keep time if you'd like to make an additional
comment. You please wait till each person has had a chance to make their initial statement. All comments must be directed toward the board, not members of
the public, According to our bylaws comment session can last no longer than one hour. This is an opportunity for the board to listen but not debate issues
or enter question and answer, period. Please be aware that, not all issues brought up before a board meeting will be resolved. That evening, we ask you to identify yourself by
stating your name and the name of your street before making your comment. while public education can be an emotional issue, we strive to maintain a certain level of the core about
our meetings, public meetings are streamed and available for replay on YouTube and students often participate in the meetings as such citizens are
expected to maintain a tone of courtesy and civility. So, you Can. oh, Forget that. That's yeah, I was
gonna try to Strike, a really friendly tone and be super nice, but Yeah, I'll get there, I'll get there, but given the comments about the SRO. I'm gonna have
to go off script a little bit. I think here. um, I don't know if there's a microphone or they can hear me, but my name is Mullins.
I'm a resident of Redmond Avenue. I'm here. My wife Bridget and we have three children in high school. We have twins will be juniors. And we
have a our youngest child is going to be horizon freshman. Let's begin by acknowledging the work that you do. Serving on
the board of education is often a thankless job. And I truly appreciate the time in the effort that you dedicate the balancing. the many priorities
across the district. I fully recognize that. with that said, I've long advocated for school, safety and security and a
previously, addressed the board on this topic on multiple occasions. Many of those times before I think most, if not, all of you were on the board. But I'm not
up here, always to just complain. Sometimes I bring good news, sometimes I support the board and their activities. I recently strongly supported
the board referendum and spoke publicly to encourage my fellow had and filled residents to invest in our future because I believe in solutions, not just
criticism. now, on the topic of safety and security, So much progress has been made in recent years. And that's why I'm
deeply concerned about the proposal to eliminate the school resource officer, The SRO isn't just a figure of authority. As
Chuck referenced. They're a trusted presence. There are first responder. And they're often the key support system for students and
staff alike. For some kids. there may be the one adult that makes them feel safer than anybody else in that school. I
know that first hand. The kind of connection matters, especially in today's world. We're safety and mental health
are more intertwined than ever. Before moving forward with your decision. I hope the board has taken the time to truly understand how the students the faculty. And even
our school counselors feel about them who's in the SRO. They've been asked. At their voices been heard. I know my kids voices haven't been heard, but
I'm trying to do my best today so that you guys can hear from me. The district has made real progress on safety in recent years. Removing the SRO feels
like a huge step backwards. I recognize the tough choices have to be made. But I urge you not to make this one at the expense
of the people that you're trying so hard to protect On the comment about the SR and the location. You should absolutely have SROs at every school. That is not an excuse.
I'm not going to comment on specific people's ideas about what they think related to whether the school is secure or not. But I really, really hope
something bad doesn't happen. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Hi, I'm Walter Weidenbacher. I live on. Center Street. So you do have a
microphone? Yeah, yeah, all right. That's all. but I want to elaborate a little bit and wish a little bit different and this is about the
Yeah Sorrow officer and I'm sorry, I'm just beginning of the discussion of the SRO. No. All I know about the elimination of this position is what I've learned on Facebook. So I don't
know where that decision stands. It's something that's pending or it's happened. I don't know. When I heard about I was alarmed because I think the
position of the SR officer is Is not only for safety, but it's for an ambience of the schools. so, So I want to mention all. But
what's my time limit here? Three minutes, three minutes, try to f******. So so the commissioners and I apologize for missing you all
for so many months, I know think about you, but there have been, you know, other fish to fry And one of them. is Borough Commission which I'm
bringing them up because I think the borough Commission has set a fine example for all of the organizations of Haddonfield in their efforts to drink some real transparency and some real
conversation and some real community communications to the borough and If you're following the commission at all, you know, this is become a big deal and I
asked I asked you Take that under advice from it. So you know, the communication, how you communicate is is that it's more important than ever. So, So, I hope you follow their
example of what they're beginning on. so, the SRO officer, so, The removal of the SRO office,
you just hits me as illogical. And I don't know, you know why it's being done but it just doesn't make sense And if you're doing it because you
think officers necessary, well, that would be because he's keeping the peace. And so hope it's like, you know, it's like Defunding the police. So so will
everything is good. Let's defund the police. In the next thing, you know, you have the problem back again. So I see it's a mistake and I want to go back 20
years now. Because my daughter was was a student here at the high school or there at the high school. And and I learned so much from from her
involvement with the school resource officer who was who was She loved him and started the students and he said a fine example. And I think he might have been very first
SRO officer but that's so that's my that's my direct experience with you. That's our officer And I just want to implore you
don't let this happen. and as I mention of a school resource officer being in every school, Course of course we think about it's worth it. Because what, what good is it,
You know in this school if you have him and that's cool. And as far as police involvement, You know, if the police officer is so readily available, you
know, you talked about that, well, he could be rather readily available in the school. and still, you know, be available to
the police force if need be So I'm just saying it just, you know, the whole plan to get rid
of the SRO officer just don't make no sense. Thank you. You
are Thank you. Hi. I'm Bridget Greenland, he's life. I live at 101. West Redmond Avenue. I hate speaking in
public. So this must be like, really Important to me, American schools for many years that work Lower Merion School District for 12 years. Very
familiar with security in schools. I agree with everything my husband said, the only thing I just want to add is that you yourself had to believe
that Mr. Fox right? Or the hip-hop. Up here talking about how kids have gone down. Parents feel safe. Somebody said 100, I think you said Dr.
Priola, they feel 100% safe about the school. Right. So why would you ever change what seems to be working? Right? So you have all the things that are improving and
now you're going to take away the person that one of the, one of the aspects of it, which I also sat on the Safety Commission. About I guess it was five. Six years ago. It's probably. Yeah.
Um and we talked about how the SRO was one of the most crucial pieces of the safety plan. all of the experts like Dennis Holly and I believe there were three other men. Talked about that.
And it seems to me very short-sighted. So now remove him after we went through all of that trouble, we started my husband. I started talking here when my children were in
kindergarten, my twins are going to be juniors. And so based on everything that you reported this evening, you should reflect back and see why
why would I ever change what is working and to your question about whether it's a teacher or an SRO officer? I think it's
the teacher. My high schoolers, every high schooler. I talk to after I saw this. Said Oh no not Mr. Ernie. He's the one who
talks to us. He's the one who knows what is happening in the schools. You had said It's not, he's not crucial, I would say
that he may be stopping things from happening before they occur. He has a pulse on what
is happening in the schools. He is very critical. Hello Carol. Stoner. On Avondale Avenue. I have three things. I want to bring up just because
spiced up a little bit. First, I wanted to find out if there has been any follow-up, given to the community about the number of hours. Our students are logged on to their
chromebooks in various grades particularly of interest is when they are in school, we did talk about that, I'm sure. Yeah, it's just struck me. I feel like
we talked about it, but we did. We're doing Updated. So, one of the challenges we had is But
you. we're not. We're all so breaking our rules. One of the challenges we can track when they're Using their chromebooks. When they're
online that we can't define the school day. So we're trying to find out how to do that so that's an additional program we have to purchase and to
investment that. We're not sure. Okay. All right. So I just second thing you brought up a little bit. What is the Handfield public school district doing to teach their students
about the evolution of AI and how to use it in their future studies and professions? Third. You knew I was going to talk Linda. You just said that the SFO officer is not
important for the safety of school. The SRO was the only armed officer at our schools to my knowledge. I am here to ask publicly for the reinstatement
of our schools resource officer Officer Kirk Are we putting buildings before security? our secure, our community wants to
know they Hadfield residents, voted to give you the Board of Education. That came at a cost all of our pockets then we're just handed
another tax increase to point, whatever it was a chuck just said and our borough just gave us another tax increase. But
yet, we can't find $50,000, I think. Is a number to pay for a class three retired school officer. That's mind-blowing
and people are not happy. They just gave you 50 million dollars and you can't find enough for the school restart. It's not. Well Chuck Klaus in
2019. You're at the following union newsletter hand over more high school's complex will be more secure. These are your words With the reestablishment of a
school resource officer after 2010, the borough Penfield was no longer able to provide an SRO because of budget and grant cuts recently, the board of ED asked
for the borough to reinstate the SRO under New Jersey's Class Three officer program. They request was approved, and the SRO will be placed in the high school in September. I'm not
sure what point the borough, stop paying for the SRO and it became a part of the school districts budget after that. But there are millions of dollars
in Henfield. School districts, capital, reserve fund, that little known thing that most people don't know about, perhaps you can rearrange your funds to
take from the capital reserve funds. That it's going to add a turf field and reapportion some of it somewhere else to allow the salary of our school resource office to be paid
because I'm sure you can find a way in this day and age for school shootings, abounds, don't keep yourself, this isn't just
head feel okay? School shootings abound especially at high school why are you leaving our students teachers and administrators at risk? Without
this position, read the voters. Want to know? Thank you. and I get go there Carol when you went to the 2019 newsletter, not because it's not important but because I was
like, well she did her reasons. I was impressed. Can I just? I just want to be clear. I am not saying that that person
doesn't help security. I talked about the critical. It is that the pivotal critical piece. This we I know what we're breaking. All kinds of our own
right, but security is incredibly important to every single one of us. So the referendum and I've heard that flowed it out around there. And that there's no way in the world
we're sitting here saying, we'd rather have a church field than the SRO and keep your kids safe. That's legally. We're not allowed to take any of that bond
referendum, money and use it. We're not legally allowed to and Mike or we allowed to use capital reserves for for salad. We're not allowed to, so we're governed by certain things. I
think that we hate this and I chuck you would talk about the going back to the borough. I mean, the honestly, we considering we are Cut. Yeah, we did talk to the
girl about, let me just finish this. So I think that none of us liked this decision, Chuck didn't like this decision and really where we are right now is
Do we would have to raise taxes? I mean, that is that really is the thing and, and but that is that is the only decision that
we're left with. And, and so, just for clarity, it's not like, Oh, we why wouldn't we take it out of the different bucket of
money? We can't our only option, which maybe that's what we need to do. Is that we when we raise taxes, it can't be that. Well, we can't go above three, like
those are the kind of decisions that we have to make. That I make a comment. Okay. It follows Redmond, Ave two
additional comments. I i'm a professional engineer by trade. I have a little bit of experience with physical security. I don't think you can
make the statement that one particular thing isn't critical. I think you're gonna it's a little bit dangerous to make that safe. The second
thing is, related to the teacher, versus the SRO. I understand, it's a hard decision but I've never had my child come home. and be concerned because they weren't getting a first class education.
It's never never come up. They all they go to school, they get educated by the best. That New Jersey has to offer to get a
wonderful education. They never complain about the teachers or they never complain or say something like We're the class sizes are too big or We have too
many teachers. I mean, if it comes down to a choice of a teacher versus the SRO, in my view, having raised three kids through the school district to a
currently juniors. It's not even a choice. Right. Thank you. So yeah. and I like, We?
were in a, We're in a challenging situation as a board, right? Because we did just you did just the 50
million dollars for this project which we cannot use for an SRO and we're we're very heightened concerned about taxes as well. We don't want. We're trying to balance this it's
helpful for people to come out and and show their thoughts. And and to hear you and, you know, chuckle ask you Mr. Klaus to maybe now that that we're
further along in our planning for next year, See if there's any see if there's any way we have any digital funding, maybe we could talk back, we could
reach back out to the borough if there's any hallway But already, I'm sorry. Oh, I was just thinking if there's any way we, we can figure this out. I just, I, I know that you've done all that
you can. I don't want to minimize that. I mean, I, I also don't like Monday and we'll be talking about again. And You know what we'll have to do. I mean, you know, the term
sharpen your pencil or pencils are sharp. we call it, we can call it emergency out on Finance Committee on Tuesday and I can
present Here's how I come find here. So I can find $50,000, we eliminate x, y or z we cut here there and then finally, you can talk about it and then we can
report out through communication. We are not at a point right now where we can raise taxes. We cannot we have
not now so that is something to consider for next year. Hearing the priorities of the community that so it's more important than
staying under three percent or whatever we are. So it would be nominal we're just so I'll come back. We have with options and the thing is right now, the teacher versus
past because the teachers are contraction done there. So it's gonna have to be programmatically somewhere else. I have some ideas I want to say
about right now because they meant that but that's not. The wife's gonna do, but Mike and I have been sitting down already.
We with given our budget situation, where we know it, we look what's going to be going next year. We're already looking at next year's budget and how we're we're trying to find save
some funds, but I will sit down Monday. We'll block out Monday morning and we'll come up with a plan and we'll try to pull together finance and we'll see if we will look for that 50
thousand dollars. And what that's gonna cost us in programs or opportunities or whatever we can hear other partnerships aside from. If the burrow word to consider we did love sharing. We
did look for grants, Ross, been a lot of time looking for grants and their own successful. Most of those grants are coming on now. Do not let you rob Kirby You do not that you pay for
class you officers and they yeah really all by them. Hey, they don't pay for armed officer or armed securities where they don't. You can't pay requests through officers.
And we do discuss this. We were just talking about transparency like right because it's the it's it's like that the buzzword one, but it's also important
and And we have talked about this during budgeting season, but We also realize that this
scope of information that a district handles, it's it's information overload. There's no way to give the information and have have it. Not at some point that you
can't process at all, right? So we understand too that that you, that I want you to recognize that we did discuss it, but that It's totally makes sense. When people
don't. When something doesn't register because it's such a immense amount of information that we deal with, especially this year's budget, because it
was particularly challenging, and we're also anticipating it getting more challenging before better, but we are very diligently planning a year out. Um,
so that we can start looking at ways to to make our budget work next year. And really understanding more, what's coming down the line. We were a little bit more blindsided this year than
then anticipated as we're many everybody else. Yeah, we are not alone in that one. That's for sure. I think we were less blind side. Yeah, so well the
difference is, it wasn't HD funding but that we did you say funny? It was the health benefits. We'll go by almost a million dollars and behavioral services. They were things that
we could not see And you know, the other thing that I want to say, I mean, honestly, every single one of us, we all see with you, we all agree with you. And the hardest thing is
At this Chuck saying, Okay, maybe we can see what some of our options are, but whatever, whatever gets cut. There is
another group of people that would sit there and say the thing you just cut is the only thing that matters to my kid and I know you're sitting there thinking but my safe, the safety
is for everyone, I get it but we it's just a difficult decision because there will be other parents that are are like, you,
you just took things something away from my child. That that's the only thing that mattered to them. So it's it's difficult to cut and cut
and cut. Okay, did you have another comment? Okay. And number four. That's another. Yes sir. I get another three
minutes. Yeah because I think so so what is exactly what this is Turtle is talking about,
right now. I'm just going to be frank with you if that's okay. When you start talking about, Something that's needed or not. It's on your head. Not the budget director said the
budget, the budget director is out of the question because he can tell you No we can't do that unless we cut something else, then it goes back. The unison is back on your head to
Well what are we going to cut? And I understand, you know what's important? This you know you can't please everybody all the time I think Abraham
Lincoln said something to that effect You know you just can't so sometimes the leaders the decision makers have to make the decision and decide, you know, Well how many soldiers you're
gonna be losing this, you know, there's gonna be collateral damage but, you know, the budget is the budget and the only way
to I mean, there's more than one way to balance the budget. It's not, it's not to raise taxes. It's not to increase your revenue. It's to cut back on
expenditure. So your job I would think is to find. What are we going to cut? You know what, we hate to cut it, but but we have
to cut it. So, if you decide to cut the resource officer, well, then Suffer the consequences. The other thing I want to talk
about, if I have enough time, this has to do with communication, Why don't you move this podium over there and move that camera over there? So
that when somebody speaking at the podium, they don't have to turn their back to the audience. So you can't even lip read. If you can't, hear what
they're mumbling about. Just just rearrange things a little bit differently, and And it would be communicating better.
So this thing is an obstruction to communication and have you back walk there. Thank you. Of living. This officials. I have a suggestion Carlson or Avondale Avenue, um, this board
probably knows that I offered to race funds for the stadium in order to redo the bathrooms, which are discussing okay. I'm willing to put in the work, I was willing to put in the work
for our track team. We give you get to seven thousand dollars. That's a lot of money that we raised by sweat and then selling things, you know. So what I'm saying is we're trying
to do our part, right? What about going to the PTAs of the different schools? I don't know them. I don't know who they are, but Lizzie Haddon. They
really can a lot of money on the fares, you know. So I'm wondering is that an appropriate place to start to see if we could go the PTA group. I just don't have access to who they
are. I'm just wondering if that's if you look at how to raise money, right? I'm a private person, I'm gonna raise money. I'm gonna redo the statements. That's what we're
gonna do, you know? So let's try to figure out a way that we can do that. I need to go through the door, the bucket, you know, collect for him. And that's what we have to do. Like, people are
that invested that that is what they Do so. That's why I'm not against in the future. If you'd raised our taxes by one footed
point, would it even as that? Yeah. Okay. Like peanuts. Like you you know, so what I'm saying is that like that's not that's not out of the question
to do that, but I'm just wondering, can we talk to the pts? That might be a way to get some money because they typically have fair amount of
for high school. So that's one lines of my thoughts too. Like with HGT are we allowed to accept like robs that there are
issues with grants? Going for armed class officers. Maybe it's a Joe Bentley question. Is there anything to stop us from taking money raised by a 501 secret? I
think you wouldn't do it for. yesterday, you Hear money. Right. Put it under That you put that money here.
Thank. You okay, let's close open. Public comment and move on to Photo my readers. What Linda's?
