Public meetings? public notice of this meeting pursue into the Open Public Meetings Act has been by the Superintendent of schools in the following matter. On January 9th 2026, notice of
this meeting was posted on the interior, the school administration offices, 95. Grocery haddonfield, written, notice was submitted and follow
the Haddonfield Pharaoh clerk. Today, with Ravi, denino giving us the student representatives report. This is your inaugural report, right? Someone you welcome. All right,
thank you. Good evening everyone. So, like, leave a brief update of what's going on for students, our district. So to start off in the high school, the NJ GPA is coming up, which
is a state test, that is required for all seniors. I mean, juniors. And I'll take place a mark 16 17 and 19. And
for the rest of grades, it will run a block schedule and on March 17th there will be an assembly by note for the narcotic overdose prevention education.
This session will include substance, use prevention educator and a member of the local report law enforcement and individual experience of drug

year. but we'll take place on merchant. A quick athletic update is the winter athletics have been doing exceedingly,
well. just recently, the Boys and Girls, Winter Track team, both won. A street state title along with the boys and girls swim teams. And the one concern, which I'm sorry. We all know about now
from the high school is the parking. Students are a little upset and how it's affecting tardiness. But recently with
just now, students, who have been parking in the lot where it's like, Hopkins and Kings Highway, they parked there and like Carver getting stuck. So we like Ask
for that bro to consider like in the future plowing that one. Okay, so moving on to the middle school. Um, the PTA sponsored
eighth, grade ski trip. Was a good success with a bunch of positive feedback from students. However, due to just snow day and delayed openings earlier
this week. unfortunately, the Black History Month assembly had postponed and they're hoping to reschedule it at the end of April when the construction of
the auditorium is finished. and finally, over the next two weeks, of course, recommendations for the twenty to 26 and 2027 school year are coming out and families will be

And we will continue to keep in touch with other principles. Okay, you're taking the NJ GPA? Yes. Long though. At least the last one in high school. Yeah. So one of the things that happened
changing how to make was They gave us the days, very challenging set. So we have to actually stop test because it's the week of the two-hour delay. No, it gives a weak window. so
in a future weather like at the cap future calendars, I'm gonna talk about everything that to our life. Flexible. In the high school, I went on to stack test or you just did one test today,
it is a highest state test it. Because while the njsa tests, all means something, this is a graduation that's we want to make sure we can best
opportunity. Unfortunately said, we didn't get the word on what was happening until late. And was, I didn't feel comfortable changing the two. I was like
three weeks out, So yeah, we decided back. They gave us such a little warning and they just had they just shows the dates right? This week to show you.
Here's my other options, but it's scheduled it so. But when we talk about future calendars, that's something we will bring up. Thank.
Okay, we'll move on to our presentation. So we're gonna start with anything goes from our drama preview. Before,
there's lots of them. There. Hi. Thank you. Hi, I'm Jameson sign. I'm the student director of the drama club today, we'll be doing a number from anything goes from Act 2. We're currently
taking this great show. Yeah. Stop this little cold married life. This delightful. It's the lobby. It feels so fine to be a bright. And How's the groom are you slightly fried? It's alive.
Called Niagara Falls. Oh my God, our days, complete everyone. sweet. It's delightful to let us collectible superior. It's dilemma. It's the limit. It's
the lock, it's lovely. All. That's right. As can be At your. Window, see an observed
bird. Home from its nose. get baby clothes and oh, I'm not a great romancer. I know that it browsing instruments. He? Commentation.
maybe 20 seconds. You can see this song here, generation. This gift generation that I Know I was meant for engineer here. I found the right. I feel like,
you know, Sorry. All right. So as you know, we've been working on the project our third and so I'm not going do
Wednesday before I'm gonna go very quickly. So as you know the lighting was completed last major foods on my July and it's going well I'm sure you superior interior lighting and
the picture there that will come through this last meeting. The next one, it's all new LED lighting, very energy, efficient and improves your Look at the
classrooms. Next is mechanical, which is where we can do a lot of the work over the last three to four months, I guess in our
planning the chiller overhaul and retro commissioning in a high school is 97% complete. The last little bit will be done
once the next items get in place, which we have to move in the next two months. So in terms of like, connecting it to the ems etc. So the next things that we're working on in the new
chiller and water pumps and motors in the high school canceller, the cooling tower replacement and they do unit which will be cooling in the gym d so the chiller and cooling wedding
work. The children's completed, the other work will be scheduled in this next month and the gym. The unit will be installed in coordinated sports and gym schedules. And
that's to happen. I think we're looking for the spring break, everything sort of set up and run the wires upwards and as
ready and then where they lived sports engines, schedules will be Me going to do. The next is the energy conservationist number three,
which is a building management and our commission and this again is 98% complete for once we get those pumps motors and
HC unit, those will finish the controls and make sure they're all connected. That's the two percent, it's not complete as a reminder, you can go forward.
That was all the Reformation coming into union leaders group, chat units, changing old. But yeah, just in the unit last time building envelopes to complete for a while. That was the weather, stripping and air
ceiling. And once the last one, is the fashion about that again is quite done the last one is the combined team how our unit which Is the, that's the green
technology, it takes gas, and makes electricity. It's less expensive, gas, making electricity that will go into the buildings, electrician. Reducing that usually grid just
a little, but that process makes heat. And that heat will then be put into your hot water loop systems. So you can see there's a picture units on the pad and the buffer tank
and there's just you know, they really basically need to You know, started to speak and would be in the coming week. Thank you. I just remembered and the
children the reason why the chiller overall is employed completed because we're waiting until it's hot to run into pieces and then it will be
complete, right? And so we have a loads of things. Their eyes is that a good place to chiller? That was down. Yes, it's not be really big piece of equipment. A lot of metal focusing taking all the working
components of that and you compressors, you tubes, like, everything new. So it's utilizing it to the best, your
ability, everything can make at least People were conservative. And then, so finding power will be. We'll be worked on addition the next four weeks. Utility
rebates are progress working with light on trying to guess with PCC, will send those out. Which is a mystery, so, talking
about it. on the report 231st, or after you Yeah, so um, so yeah. So and then again, we provide updates every week, we're there in the
next two to three months will be wrapping up. Good to see that number. Because my number, because Yeah. All right. Thank you.
Everybody. Mississippi a chance to print my report so I could bring the giant laptop with me. So, with them here. Just like every other
month. The last thing going on this past month. Some Key Work, We are constant discussions during the reference process with loose furniture vendors,
gym, equipment, vendors, Audio visual lighting component banners, that are just a try that utilize state contract and an effort to reduce project
costs for general contractors. big efforts, this this month, also, the 1890s building which we all know it was a bid in the war last month is now in
construction for about, you know, five ten through construction. Where any new fun challenges each day and we're getting past them, which is one
and we've also were getting this middle phase, which Rachel talk about a little more with some other projects that are in construction. The Tate of addition has been conceptually
redesigned and reviewed with the elements using LRP community and that is moving forward in design as well. And the Head in Projects edition is
back out for a bit. So, those are kind of big developments here going into projects in the design phase Hopkins. Turf
field is on track to actually pay next week. And that is on target for the March 26 award also. So hopefully this time next month, we'll get some
really good numbers. We've been working with some good state contractors for different kinds of Turpin pills and we're really functioning those numbers working with you that Catholic
Department. So make sure it worked. All of our equipment selections are Ready for bed, and that project is going well with the anticipation that's
potential completion will be August 1st. 126 right at the time for fall sports practices to start up. Hopkins. Jim
Hopkins. Jim is a little you know, that's kind of where we're pushing on that one where we had to kind of work. a little aggressively on the equipment
side. We've talked to a couple different equipment vendors. What we'd like to do is kind of little carpal before the horse so to speak, but we're getting news, third party vendors and
we're talking about the equipment they can provide all the processes such as Wall pads of flooring down to volleyball
sleeves and scoreboards and equipment and retractable netting. All that fun stuff. We're getting all that information up front during a
pretty hefty design research. Portion of the project. And we are well, and designed we kicked off just this week. All work with our mechanical. Electrical
funding civil, fire protection and structural team. So that's moving forward. We're not anticipating to get that
project until the summer. That'll be his essential completion of August 18. District wide fire alarm
replacement, other project that's been designed for a while. We definitely shifted this past month, with the rejected bits of Haven Haddam.
Both hidden Manhattan, bids prior to the included a building live firearm replacement. Well, we decided to do it to save costs as we've actually take the building live, fire alarm
replacement. Now this project and we're going to get this as a District life violence replacement this? Coming summer, the reason we're doing that is
taking it off the general contractors responsibility to bid which typically, then self it out to a electrical contractor. Who would then? Stop it out. So the firearm
discussion contractor now we're going breaking the source next summer for District why project? And that is just the way that we're gonna stay across.
Infant more importantly, get 10 McLaren and the facilities department, the system, the same system that's used throughout the entire district right now, you kind of have a
little hodgepodge here and kind of renovations and alterations throughout the years. The Cupola Replacement project, we are InDesign with that. Still
the anticipation is that cupola, whatever the auditorium will be replaced in concert with the AUDITORING project as well. We are still in design for that we are currently behind
the scenes working with historic preservation commission. It's trying to get on their agenda. We were trying for March, It's looking like, we're going to get on their agenda for review,
April 8th. Which is still far in advance notice or the advanced to get this. if the people that replace the time for the
closeout of the auditorium project, And the big one Tatum Tatum edition. Like we look at previously, mentioned we are in the redesign phase but we
presented a conceptual study for a standalone, two story edition off the center, rear of Ketama Elementary. It's going to. The goal is to not encroach, your
existing fields too much. That was our initial goal 20 months ago. They really was not touch your fields. That's why we decided to build up over your existing one story area in the front.
There obviously, you know, we've received construction costs last month that we're well over budget due to complexity through the shortage of contractors that wanted to do
that kind of That tough work. I guess. And we are back drawing board with that. But we've developed a really good steam that in the end is going to save
money from our original budget of five million dollars. We've developed the steam that's going to get you the same score footage. All the same rooms you
gives you a bonus outdoor athletic storage room to feed the fields and overall entire unit of athletic storage tables. Specifically, and the goal is that we're going to come in and around four million dollars for
that revised cost. So overall is one million dollar cost savings from the original project budget. That's kind of our big,
the big project in design right now. That's it for me. almost actually it's not there yet. Projects under colliers review, typically at around 80% of the project of a design we then send it on the cars for independent call center
estimating. We actually have none of the books right now to talk about nothing there. And then projects out. The bid Today, senior district quite a
bit this afternoon running from project site the project site. You three pre-bits this one contractors protective contractors comment to see a
potential project that you're bidding on those projects being the new had in. Excuse me had The asphalt in the replacement
projects. at Central Elementary School and Haddon Elementary School. You have asphalt shingle groups sections over there. There's gonna be replaced this summer. Those are currently up
to bid. and the third, Up the interior alterations classroom and nurses suite alterations over at Central Elementary School. The central elementary schools will be a lot of fun
this summer. We're gonna to have lots of projects going on getting in. Um, so that's it. I believe there because the next segment is projects in
construction which will let rich talk about what's true justice questions and it may have already been covered in. I apologize if it was in the lrft
meeting minutes that hadn't read that where we went in minimal enough changes that that counts as round to and we can do that negotiation piece. Yes,
you needed. Thanks for bringing that up. So we we strategically did the first round three contracts we call maybe. and say one for data, one for head and one for
both as a way to kind of, you know, entice the the tool better so to speak. What we did was we decided to read it, only contract be able to have so, and with the changes
that we presented, because most of the changes were the original alternate bids that we just never deduct alternates. So sorry too much here. So we went for a basement a month ago that
base bit was to do this project here. So this week and then we had a whole list of alternate bits that we're teamed up alternates. so, ways to kind of
mitigate costs, in their eight or so of those, we took those deduct alternates and we've rolled them into the basement as a strategy to also save costs.
That's originally Mike Cellulator deduct alternates. The value of those aren't as full as if they were just taking into a basement contract. So, it's a way to say the cost for
taking those deduct insurance rolling minutes, and based it so nice clean venture contractors and we all so, thrown top of that, some value engineering opportunities
elsewhere, in the project, further reduce costs, we did all that without compromising any of the spaces, any of the square. For really, any of the
overall quality of the set? We're still getting the same classrooms. So getting the same office. Great win-win. So we're
hoping, you know, with some of the skills and productions of costs, we're hoping for cost savings of around 69,000 that's that's all problems. Just the APC. We have. We take
the high school tomorrow when we go, there are people in high school windows there, too. They want to see those the high school windows. I actually got a
formal approval from that field preservation. You need to move forward with the windows, which is funny because I actually received the sample from Architecture window. I have a
whole whole mock-up, samples taking up half of our office right now. and then only care about it. He went very quite a bit but I have it and it's because
they know you have exactly didn't have it, they wouldn't care. So that's good. That's moving forward but they do still want to see that cupola and they want to see all the details and materiality of it and that's
what we're kind of working on. This and how was the turnout for the Green Bay? These sounds overwhelming really yeah, right? There were five
bitters for Haddon three different new. That's interesting. There were I want to say eight for the asphalt, shingle group. Which is a lot. We had 14 vendors,
pick up for that job. So we're hoping for some really competitive pregnancy there and then we had about eight or so for the inter alterations project that it's your
alterations project and really attractive project. It's a summer only project but it's a small enough scale of work where it's gonna get a lot of it is I think we're bidding in a
pretty good time of the year. There's a lot of bitters there very have work wind up in the summer and there's others that
have lost out on jobs in recent months and other hunger. Yeah, so that's a good still enough time. Still enough time to plan
to get work done. Yeah, so a lot of good things, a lot of the developments and Yeah. Back to what just talked about.
If the sort of the business model, right? Exactly. You got dolphins. They don't usually give you that whole value. Say like you not take, so
they are, let's just To do. So I'm going to talk about three projects. One of them is pretty much, you know, 675% done Saturday videos as Jeff alluded to so it
had to build middle schools and auditorium and practice room. Renovations, we pretty much finished everything with the exception of Now. We're moving into finishes
Of the ceiling that had been a little bit of a challenge now. That's ongoing the installations aren't going over mechanical and electrical work is continuing It's actually
close to being complete. We have two of the state contract vendors. We have generations. They're scheduled to be completed by more second and
long ago. The seating We did have a hiccup with them but their scheduled to be done no later than April 22nd, what they're trying to do that. So,
it has a plan, original completion. Date was the 17. So there's five days beyond that we're still trying to mitigate that to try to get it pushed up. so to the newer projects, the central elementary, the 1890s
building, it's a newer project. The Andrea that was one of those dated twice and the negotiation, the interior, renovations the India just got started recently. all that about 5% complete. Very
middle of submittals. Painting permits. They did mobilize on the 16th of February and they're just now beginning. so, as the Middle's
get approved, as we get a little bit further down the road, though they'll jump right into it. And their completed day is make that The Public The last project to
talk about to give you an update. Is, is the Memorial High School and other different
contractor Jay? there's, So that's renovations in here, alterations. Same thing, we just had a kick off meeting with them a couple days ago on the
24th. Now, we're getting submittals starting to go so it can get all them done so it doesn't Construction.
And they're working on permits, and we're working on Secondistics and all that good stuff to make sure that everything coordinated, the school activities, Pretty much wraps up with projects that are ongoing right now, any questions?
Thank you. Visiting both of you when you know, it's even things that that hard and rethinking and That's what we appreciate it. That's
for me. You understand? We're here to help. and so that we meet next time, we'll share fuel plans and design drawings of theater updates. That's great. Yeah.
Ultimately, he came out to be pretty good solution. Yeah. I mean he the facade of Tatum doesn't change from the front, right? It's pretty much what
not even. These. The original rose changes. So Okay. Just he recorded last week, right? Not a huge report. I mean, we
got a meeting to discuss the budget and more detail. We went over to Herbert might get Jack and all the questions readers. all the way down or doing trying
to get a good place where we can make our budget without you. Have a good activity there. I have, I actually do this year.
Yeah, short. Be good project man. Yes, okay. So this I I have a bunch of stuff. My reports today. we said budget goal products and
public accountable, but I figured now super budget keeps, you know, again until March at
27. Now there's a new date nothing's finalized, right? I'll talk about that, why? We are getting the numbers
directly our budget. So okay, it was What I haven't? Mom. So here's some stuff. This is good stuff. I think that happened or some good stuff with
some problems. Challenge stuff that happened on the last couple weeks. Decent three basic photo. It's a 25 dollars. 30,000 added fund, balances of plus
health benefits have dropped 2125,000 she said. So we got working brown. Every one from one point, eight to one point five seven five, I think my math is right there. So that's the savings. There's that helps us out.
So like he told me, so we were going from 24% down the point where so, please, but I'm more detail what you needed. I think what one of these was we pushed them early for early gas. So I
think they want to guess high in case. Yeah. I don't have the schedule up here that I put together a schedule proposing Increase activity fees it would raised 50,000 dollars. We also
have opportunities, you can't guarantee him with advertising on a whole channels and stuff like that. So, so, Mr. Banders, came up with something good, produce, 15, 20,000 hours and advertise.
You can put that in there because you want to explore the little further because I'm just hard And the activity fees are based on whether you are in a club.
Whether you take a bus to go somewhere or whether you go right and put out these activities paid. they're helping to pay stipends, we're helping to pay transportation to help them do this. So these
people who's Carly say, Why am I pay more for being a sport? I'm just in the drama club because drama club doesn't go to the bus and it's forces. So we're going to look at that as an increase
and then We came up with a half million dollars in reductions of our Allegations. And this is just a clumping on them
generally. Um it's a software programs materials to supplies excitement positions north of fifty thousand dollars and second positions cuts in here, which is a lot of things I went
to details, because people haven't told this yet, just so good, just generalize reductions in technology and athletic supplies. Summer curriculum, writing, a PJ. So, we're cutting back on the amount
of stuff we're doing this summer, although we are keeping in Are world language audit, and our systems because this is worth it needs to be done. Keep
growing moving forward. We have to easily be reduced and I have the staff bus. So there's this includes and I say staff here. It does include educators. It
includes other people who work in the district or not. Once again, because they're still early in this and decided, I don't. So here's where it gets a little
challenge if we go 2% tax. Like this is what the numbers are. um, I can use numbers are the new on this is what this is, what we can maximum tax to. You'll notice that the healthcare
allowance less, we talk is 1.6 something million. It's now 1.3 million because the two or 25 we saved came off and some of their staff. That's pretty damn
things. I wrote the last button left button. Some of these people are getting healthcare, those numbers, come off as well. So every time we're taking
staffing out. Our ability to tax reduces later that reduce too. So we're kind of fighting against ourselves in that moment, little challenge in that way.
We have bankcap for 226,000 and we have that 139,000 in capital saved two years ago retires this year. these we were at one point two we could go six point
four, five tax increase they never done this way too long so our ability tax has decreased over the next two weeks as well as those other things. and I
put together, I've met with a blinds me up and you got the scenario, What if we tax it? This rate, this rate this rate, what does that actually causes? I put this magnificent pie chart rather than my bird on top of
things. It'll be understand. So this is really spend our money. This we're gonna money. So 77% of it is directly instruction. Once again, this point, you know, I believe this, I'm an operation. This is pulling up building an administrative
assistant. This is what it takes. Put stuff in classrooms for kids learning. And you see how much of our budget is that facilities, operations and
extracurricular. So as you just, there's a logic as we try to cut big numbers, The blue is going to be hit more than the red because it's so much more of
our budget. So it's important for us to understand that. And this is where it gets. Little one little freaking. If we
would go two percent. Are that would be 850,000 roughly increase. Our operational budget would be 49.6 million. We need a two million dollar.
deficit. That's including the half a million dollars already deductive Expo about. We have put together, there are administrative team put
together. Listen, I think it's 51 cups. Right, we have a half million already in there. These additional cuts which are more
stipends addiction number of athletic competitions and coaches, maintenance ea's, and
5.5 staff members. Would be another 862,000. If we were to take the half millimeter did and it's age 62 or 2%. We're still
1.5 million dollars now, So that's how that's how we don't. That's a 2% cutting that deep And right. The correct, right? And what does that is that with a
stagnant? Magnet responsible funding or that's that's 100,000 loss associated. So the other thing, too would I cannot wait for tomorrow. We get
our chair. We should get our gift number tomorrow. We have not been. yeah, and we're worried about that number may also produce the
advantage of Mike. Can you talk a little bit? So I hope last year but there's what's called access area access lost contingency fund. It's a weight. It's a financing mechanism to help all set premiums. So it's it's a,
it's something that's governed by a jiff Bible. Whether we can access that or not. Yeah, the aren't sure. And with the surprise, Pretty big workers company. Yeah, so so that is what we're
talking about that. There's a service, a surplus one that has as Legit or release plot is that, we can access how also premiums
that fund could help offset if any additional points that I So we're going to 4.5% tax letter when we six two ones, our Max you see the numbers there or Operation Blood
Sugar, the 550.7 million, where a 1.3 deficit. So if we take all those cuts The rest of
these 54 lines, we had, we're still half million dollars. If we're to go to 5.5, We're basically with the previous half millionaire
included and this 800,000. If you're going to 6.21, the deficit 6000 but since we are additional costs or you know,
that, that could could bring back three free staff members. So, if we were 6.2, our number of staff members, and that's not just teachers. It's a lot of people who work there will drop down to 2.5, but we've
definitely very direct three teachers at least three teachers, nice day after this. Rewarded. This is this would be able to help help us. Bring back at least three staff members.
Now once again, the numbers are changing you know, if as we work out the bus driver situation, they look at these, were a couple things. What confident
that if you work with the Max Levy, That. The actual additional cost reduction would probably be more like, $500,8000. So that's
where we are right now as far as scenarios. Washington, the governor gives her address. March 12th Release Date. We
have a board meeting at night, we'll talk about state aid. We scheduled a meeting for the 17th. and before, before the
budget was due to the county in the 19th, they gave us the 27th now, because it's coverage. Speaking late, I still have to keep that meeting. because I'd
like to have my principles here and if you can state aid back they will bring you back in. Or is that tax relief? I think that's a conversation. We need to have in public. So people
understand the thought process here because we're going through all these things and in March 26 or board, meeting can improve the budget there and
Mike hits a button, 27 To bear the scenarios we have. When I come back on the 12th, we have the state numbers, I won't have
generalized 6.21. I will come back with a number saying this is what I recommend. and that's why it's going to come back on the 12th and 17 too and the
board say we don't want that. Go back and decrease that number or increase that number and I'll be able to be more. Good deal specificity about
exactly. These are very general because People whose lives impacted by this. Don't know about this. I'm trying to very careful but by the time we get to there, I'll have spoken to
people. I've been with those type of things and then we'll be able to say This we can break this back by doing that or you
guys want to do x-wire to see and the board remote and you know I it's I'll say this too, it's always nice, 790 vote. But
I think this might be time where I don't need nine those. I need five but I that's hard. I'm gonna put something out there that I think he's gonna be able
to do the least bit, maximize our situation and some people maybe uncomfortable with 6.1 tax rate. I appreciate that people could go. No, that's that's what
that's how it's supposed to function. Um, I was also, you know, I talk a lot walking my dog and thank you. Stick it back over the last year. And, you
know, basically we were very cognitive at the state below, three or neighboring school districts. And forever. So we could go on
16. I I wanted. How do you grow up 16? Where would be right now? You've been lost teachers last year. maybe two percent of another two million dollars. I
still don't think was right. I still think we did the right thing, but now I'm wondering that reason not gonna work anymore. I'm gonna say it right now. Maybe recommending closer
to six something about many closer there. And I want you to know that I'll explain it to you and then it's a goat by nine left officials. I think that's
exactly the right attitude and approach, like we said in our meeting of you know, many of the whole last week, there's not a magic bullet. solution that
fixes everything and you and your team have been very methodical in looking at, you know, like we talked about revenue opportunities and where
there's opportunity to cut. We as a group talked about that there's never appetite to raise taxes, we don't want to do it either, but sometimes you're at
a point where you need to explore that. So yeah. So some of these cuts would be we'll talk more about this one. And clearly, this is not easy. Yes, thank you for I mean, I know
that it's been a lot of work that you guys have done, but I think more importantly, this is a really good moment for the way that things are being handled because
in the past, you know, there's a discussions that happen and then there's, you know, you come to a board meeting and there's a The amount of transparency. I
know people are unhappy. I know that people are not understanding that these things would be floated out there as they're not finalized, but things have to be looked at, and
it's uncomfortable with that stuff out there and get that negative feedback, but I appreciate that things. Taking that approach, it's the best.
Most transparent way to do it, it's not but given all of the options, Saying in, what, what we're facing and then all of us
having to make hard decisions. Thank you for taking this group. So, I can have on my prayer
slash goodbyes list. What? are our outstanding variables, aside from state aid, where the joke numbers and what the GIF is going to budget.
Is that it is there any, are there any other buckets that I could send out there? I mean, we met with we met To recognize what a long time. And they would agree. It's it's
me, you know, if you're talking about them to be important directly to touch people, And
sorry. Still are kicking around ideas, came up with three more things to look at. So, we'll continue to look at them. None of them are $100,000 ideas. a lot of
her $10,000 ideas but just steady because you budgeted worst case scenario at least on stage. If we buy some miracle got good news or that could be
like a 300 swaying, right? That could be, that could be a three thousand hundred thousand dollars, right? That makes that number much much easier, right? And the
masterwork. Now, here's another thing. That I yeah well we thought Oh no, I shouldn't say that way. So Murphy with the three is six percent in and soon we rolled
over our new governor has not confirmed that yet. So right here this is all the tax lovings of a that. So part of that was a district will lose more than three percent new digital also increase more than six percent
technically not those who are not technically. I just had mine and round table yesterday. Just been at it yesterday. About that March. 2017. That's a
fluid. This is all. I'm really disappointing that out. I actually asked the question to the partner County VA about those guardrails. Recent
technically, they are not. In, they are not in effect for this budget cycle. But I can give you some if it makes you a little more confident that
they're most likely coming. They're just not He doesn't have to work to try that they're definitely coming, but he is confident that they will. But again if that's something that we should all be
advocating for right now to push To push threatens, you know, what is now but it's in their core so they absolutely know
that. I can't even. How many times? Now that. Yeah. And it's It's that, I mean I mean that's the thing too, where we're
coming up to term. S. Right? And even the feedback we're getting from the community which is really great. when you look at what we pay costs per pupil, it's just love, like we're starting low. So where to cut it
was running out, we're running out of places to come. It's really already running a very tight ship, we all prepared and all of our peers and so and we do you know
a lot of it is people to asking to send things out to for to read Tracks. We do that all the time. That's a totally. We have
to do it regularly. and we really do do it. You know. frequently, especially this year because we Do this coming, for
example, the healthcare and all that we've been doing that. So there's there's limit because I feel like we've always wanted such a side ship and it's kind
of like when you tighten your belt and you're already been like already had been pretty great. It's getting now, are we looking at? Are we, are we going to cut our nose office later, Faith in the
sense, like, Okay, we're gonna hold true to that which we can't even hold through their 20%, But what, what costs like, how? Well do we educating our
students? We have it's hard. It's a balance that we have to strike. It's just getting harder and hardness, right. We've
already been negotiated with our legal for shavings moving less, hurricane years. That costs are still going up. probably and,
you know, so we'll continue, we'll continue to turn every stone between now. So this is something Michael sit down daily and just look at numbers over
and over again. Scratcher ahead from the advocacy standpoint to you, there hasn't been any emotion from United States Congress but they have re-increased the idea
of their acts. Last spring, which would push. I think currently is funded at 13% and statutory It should be closer to 40. Things like that health, as well. I mean that, I mean
that's the other thing just to get on. I've met, this is my last point, but the state mandated, you know, the state mandates that are on Monday. Yeah. Doing and then whatever you hear, they increase
exponentially and our money decreases. so, D it. Yeah, we went to the workshop right of the state legislator that came in and that's percent of what she was
saying. Was that special with special Ed like is important to state consulting mandates down, but then how can we really
advocate for funding to go along with it, to make sure that the schools are able to use it is and legally you're responsible? Yeah. So then there's ramifications on
that. Exactly. So there is the cost, just So so yeah. So anyway, we're essential email us, Senator Kit today, on that. Issue thought I'd bring it up in case anyone
danc? Es. So he sits on the committee that the bill is yeah. So if you want to send an information, yeah, a good. Tell
me what's right? I will write it just so up. Yeah. All right, so is that all you have right now? That's all for
lunch. Okay, so, Really great report staff. Machine you already did policy last might give anything to add since we had land and colliers
here. I just wanted it really clear. If I I was thrilled with Jess, something for the meeting because it is going to affect
Space behind. It. Yeah, and that's a you know it that play around back there that you were smelling it was bad that. Okay.
But it, you know, that space But so, what is detached from the current footprint of the building. So, I will say, I, the first thing I thought of was the garden and the outdoor
classroom and I was like, feverishly. I was like, looking on like Facebook and trying to find, I was able to find a picture of to say that. No it's
not just the two planters in the front. There like that, the garden is part of the retaining wall. And how much that is an end was able to speak.
A little bit about how Tatum PTA and the school and the families use the back of Tatum so much. And so what the design was that it's like it comes out, right?
And there's Credo will be and we want to be careful to just we're going to show it. Yeah. What we don't want to do is is incorrectly describe. It wasn't butted up, the building and losing all
that. So I just wanted to say that, it's not that it's attached that there was they were so keeping or hoping to keep that we're actually designed to want to have that. Yeah. And the
sidewall Yes, they are. They are retaining the use of the space and they had they have what we saw was a more
arbitrary kind of because it was initiative, lack of better work with a cheaper distributor of it because they wanted to get the okay first. But but yeah so it does preserve all the character
in the outer space. It is not actually. How it was where like if you add on to an existing educational building, we have a discount,
right? If you access it from the building. Yeah. It's like it just didn't. I just wanted to like it doesn't. It's not sitting straight on top of the
garden, it collecting tables and it's not final but we ask them to be said to that and if it's a more included design than the other
time, it's a better using space. So almost yeah, well I'm fairways and that there was like all of the this and that the little company that outer loving
the he also one of the things to be important, potato PTA and make sure they, you know, also hold others don't show up in, you
know, The other thing I just want to, you know, I think we kind of lost over it with Jeff was there, but with the Tate and
redesign Our schedules back. So right, you know, it's more realistic than what they can Reg. Ardless you. Yeah, yeah. I get some of it
really depends on Lizzy so We'll see how that, I And what we is, classroom spaces, open up or as things are completed. There's the ability
to do full decay at one school versus another. Would we open that up as a lottery for all the schools around, Michael boxes would be if you just next year
and we can add section of education. He would be lottery District wise, right? That's cool, right? That would be something you have to talk about
the day actually consider if they think. I mean, it's not ideal but I think I remember a few years ago, like last time about, let's not the perfect
media enemy is good, all this. We won't have enough for everyone and it's not everyone that you Spaces. Five
percent. Of people that's not good. two percent now. Yeah, it is something you guys consider. We have we are speaking about
Once we get around more to, Add this finishing day. You can audience finish you do? And how we can manipulate classrooms
and tatum? And you think? All right, the regulation we have for the resource materials, Dr. Priolo you have anything?
Not coach bad from the other week As was discussed earlier, we were really all hands-on here. Preparing towards the testing, I think I shared with the board for since the test moved over to
electronic format, you know? Maybe a decade or so ago. The back end work, that goes into that. ensuring that all of the staff
for training ensuring that all of the student accommodations are properly accounted for the scheduling It's it's all hands on that right now. For the next couple
of days, 46 weeks. You know. So back in the day when it was paid. Yeah. I I literally I mean I was a personal time. My office, and you'd have to hand bubble, everything, put
student label stickers on. And I remember thinking to, Myself in this video. and now I think it's it's maybe triple to work to prepare for it
but be careful you wish for you. Thank you. Drug. Control again on. I think last year I gave it. An
updated. The end of the year about what we're doing. Well, what are you a one? We thought about our PD and folks and rolls now. This. Yeah, but generally
got what we're doing a different areas in the goals and then I'll come back in, May you data kind of show how, how well we did meet will really
continue to grow. So this is general overview. in elementary school to focusing on NJH LA Map performance Science of Reading with Watch program for executive function, which is just difficult. And
then the great fun. A cultural project, which is this is from Mexico. You open it up and it's fourth grade. They have all kinds of artifacts. You learn about culture that way. So
part at this part of that global citizenship piece middle school's been using tutoring programs in math and ela. It was tutorial
transition to, I ready, curriculum? Sixth grade math, music, continuous piece of cake through six, school-wide used for genders and this was executive function, where, and I think it tutorial teachers
checking to make sure the kitchen how to use agenda. So getting someone as agenda is a great idea. Then carrying around is not a great idea.
Raising we're working hard on that work and then Mike and I both had a panel student panel, maybe the kids get feedback from trying to carry that and
student advocacy to the voices. on the high school and this goes back to some of the stuff we saw when we got the reporter earlier about 18, I just strategies, especially Go
Cat. A lot of PD was done in vocab in high school and this is using these strategies the daily essence. IRS programs to modern students hardiness and then student like
group for clubs. And guest speakers, especially this is global associate. The Special Olympics, goalie the hot chocolate stands which are a chance to buy somebody who's
always great. And then David has been running. So inclusion independence and then the content area is an extensive, a data formed instruction, we're
doing a lot of way. We're looking at that now improved. I think every every day they're doing it and specialized curriculum over. So great research on this. And that's
kind of part of the writing stuff they're doing. Specifically academic excellence. That was general over but this is the first goal, like them Excellence. 84
Decision, making really looking at the NJ, slag. jtpa and looking driving people, the Great. And if that, and the next is that we heard about this
man, speak the succession that right or fourth degree, fifth grade, and just late, EA school is rusty and better than the actually group better than and
all the better than the zero, ten percent of reduced watch piece so we see see these that implementation of database or three times a year in elementary schools the specialty together with grade
level leaders and go over all the data and try to make adjustments. This is what particularization format of intervention. UM Njea magazine is actually doing article on how
we do this because we do it very progress. Now we know it's really glad you're working on Central School. So there's really hard beyond that based on the work we're doing there, and
then extension PD, which I thought about last time, we've had the hours of data driven instruction scientific science of reading And this goes into, we've talked
about this before, right? So we have kids who are doing great and kids who get good support because of their Final Four, good idea. There's also other kids individual there who struggled
greatly. We're really trying to talk a program for them. We have students watch this now created based on our benchmark testing and GSS intervention, using Link it Intervention
Manager to help streamlined multiplex here, support track and class Ixl, diagnostics for ELA, right math, ready? Diagnostics for elementary
schools. I was actually about four in math and tutoring Ela, middle school and the integration Dune house I've
mentioned those before. Second goal, Lifelong learning, executive functioning. District wide executive functioning. It's been important
part of the PD. The we have to teachers 1008 days. We had a snow day. There's a PDA makeup. That's a self-directed. They of PD one executive function.
And Corey one of our school psychologists, he put together a podcast on into doing but beneficial piece. Genesis about before we're happy. Looking at
teachers. You looking lesson classes and teachers are embedding having his base strategies to create student autonomy. And then all
elementary schools teachers are explicitical lessons on both side. So getting make sure that's why Good. This is that third grade and now we were smart executive
function. correctly. And that's a role in fourth grade next year. Middle school, put out questionnaires for families, 100 families responded the school
psychologists. based on those results is doing 10, 12 week, intensive, executive function scores, and then kids much like you have intervention for reading or intervention for
math, which is intervention for this and kids work their ways in. It worked their way in and out and rotates it through every tenors four weeks, we'll see, four or five groups and we'll
continue to do that, what I mean? 150 families is good. Let's see, that grow. It's the first time doing this and families might have been apprehensive. So we're gonna see
if they grow that. That's really good. In addition to that, there are quarterly lessons in tutorial now, The basic core is really
species. High schools. Looking at Victoria's issues. and then once again the hot chocolate and the budging organization by our SELFIE, Dave programs and Middle School,
High school. And the diversary opportunities, a lot of answers to school clubs. And one of the things right now with that, we talk about the activity fees. We're going to
look at putting activity fees in elementary school, it'll be my mom will feed without helpful to expect you to keep these days running. There are a lot of clubs. In elementary school
that our parent paid. And there's some that are the school paid. We want to try to keep them all going to try to full way to fund those including the
special Olympic bowlings and then the arts integration which is incorporating, Washington, that's what we got, working with it, proud grand for joining, Dodge Grand Foundation, And
sending three or four people away every summer for the last three years. Free except for traveling up. In fact the princely to stay near free. We're going to continue that
and participants would work. Part into the class and how music can come in or how art can come into classrooms. Help me make believe. Learning more
meeting. I have elementary schoolers is By how great their knowledge is. of classical music or even modern classical music and art. Yeah, my daughter loves that
like, for sex. Great teacher doesn't artist of the month. We went DNA, she's showing me. this thing that she learned about this particular artist of the month. Another kids
explaining this Louie. This is a piece. On the solar system that's in this episode of Louis. And it's like, It's incredible
things that I did not learn in full college. They are learning Yes, caller Really. Yeah. Yeah.
Though, every classroom. Yeah, yeah. Well, so you boys, two leadership. Groups growing continually programming, but yeah, here's one of these like,
I'm talking to these right now. I thought it was dollars a safer costs, these things ready to stretched, right? So that's
that's but I will say that I was with I was right. Right.
300 February. And the interactive. It came with you. and she purchased the high school was being funded by by donations and so this is
another place we might look and say we have to take these like cut perhaps you can look at people involved and see if
there's a way to between the activity fees. and that goes back to when we've talked about a food, like these
are people this. On the US. Yeah. In general program to connect global warming, global warming global challenges. and
cultural celebrations. And historic research is talking to the bathrooms. We have guest speakers in Journalism, cyber security technologies of high
school talks, but also not other areas. historical Perspective, Red Trump talked about life, history, third graders would do this. This is a great program.
project. We've had a very good, they love it. I was in area the day and she knows to talk and she just finished the back in two weeks. The kids like I wish today.
They love it. You see your Asian American Club? Those who you celebration Spanish clubs planning celebration, the high school 50 Club They let you know our program soon, right? That's
in March in March um They discussion about international care events. I was with Rotary, Roger hiring came up this year's walk, so she's working 50 Club
and she thinks she can't believe how great they are, but they talked about internationally talked about current events, A lot of you students, because there's lot going on. Yes.
Student superintendent panels and you're gonna get feedback from these folks on middle schools, doing for working scooters. But they have a lot
to say about cell phone policies. So we'll be hearing some about those and it's fun on talking to middle school kids and it's like they have all
these ideas and we'll have a smartwatch is not really yourself and like listen I like to hopes up. Can't wait to watch next year. And then what the one young lady
actually started wearing A regular watch English. That's where watching. Okay, I'm gonna get ready for this. Mom, fifth grade advocacy Gino,
and the supervisors. And I went to fifth grade of teams today and they write papers about this year was homework. So they gave us a bunch of papers on the
pluses of minus and homework is just as well. How it could be changed the better wise and they started off with other stuff homework on amazingly enough I
don't think anything. Get their home. No, it's not. Your thoughts is very important. Change from work. Look at homework differently. We could climbing it on it. Baby day
before this and they went back and forth. It was you know that we want to have group homework. Real estate group homework doesn't work right going on but
so it was a great time. We have the hundred year one month project going on, right? And that's any questions on base. Yeah once again like Come back
okay we're collecting data on this and we come back in May or so it'll be more. This charts and graphs even more concrete. Yeah, that this just kind of
overflow what we're doing. But with the past I've just gave a mobile updated in June. I so I thought this is a better way in
case, you know You raise one. Review, but talking about. I ready? We realized I don't know what the broader plan is for. I ready
as far as our plan to extend it because well it's in the elementary school so essentially extending it from the elements exploration. Every time I knew
again for example they do I run into or they're gonna already Grade six. Yeah. Yes. We needed
more alignment. Going. And we talked about. I remember the A Chieved rock. Being over impact that I just wasn't sure if we were continuing to go for all all of
middle school, you know? And then it gets more content. That I was very geometry, right? And then we spoke about calendar 2017 2028.
Um, here's the dates that we work around, right? So Labor Day, September 6, so it's leaving. Number four is October 11th, that's also by the way. Well, I'm going to show you an idea. Take off Columbus Day but
yeah, Oh okay, that's awesome because it's a holiday weekend. And Jake Convention. Thank You. Winter Break, December 24th. 31st So, this is interesting
because I mean, January 1st is Saturday. So technically it's a federal holiday. You celebrate that on Fridays, we can wrap
that in there. Everyone, I spoke to I mean everyone I just goes good well not coming back, right after for that, extended break up with the best they ever happened. So
my I'm gonna actually make a recommendation yet. You take one of our PDA to make it January 3rd. And teachers, come back
that January. that January 3rd and then found back. Yeah but come back here that first thing back into the future only. It's a nice way. Nice way but now And I'm also going to look at. I know the Cherry Hill and council they
but he stayed their first emergency closing down as well. Yeah, I'm okay. Jay just okay days at 17th President. 16 Right now. I'm recommend you five day. Great call though. Yeah the calendar designing
people like you do the The longer breaker we have in the past. I know that that works well for a lot of our teachers, you need neighbors districts, all do it. You try to intend to
try to consider that when we put a calendar together Memorial Day to 29 and then Juneteenth is a 16. It's quickly is how I would
like to control the calendar and I'll make it better now. I'll show you this. I would like to. August 30th, Teachers did 31st and PD Day after students. The
first a second, we've come in before Labor Day before when it's late, October 12th, Yet not four followed by a PD deck, was very nice free PDAs out, but I have
all November Here's our November with, we'll be have actually school November. And they actually had almost no school in November. Yeah, that's
a January, 3rd. Pointed out Right there. They say that evening day. We have 18 for P day. That's day right before.
For President's day. It was interesting. We used to take off after that. And one of the things I noticed in some schools was they had a
they did that, right? So they had the 21st was President's Day they came into the snow emergency, and they're off the next day for a few
days, right? So that's that's so I'm going to Friday before that way It'll still be still be that these are three day weekend. That happens. And then
this is tough. I mean, First half of the year, a lot of red and blue second half of the year. Not a lot more.
march of brutal. Yeah, enjoy those weekends. Oh, January February. Just such it's Hey, so. Okay. Jesus is the 16th year. Yes. So my only thought is that the 21st the start of
Passover if we could move back to the week after Passover, start with Age. I just I could wait and 20 reverse or maybe I am 21st of
the 20? Yeah, I just The Passover starts on the tab on this. Um, school of engine 13th of the teachers. Would be the 14th. This is this for the elementary
calendar. They had the conference day. So elementary, and this is let's go, he's a Element. Actually, they stay for teachers in high school, middle
school, and elementary would be the 14. So I'll share this again. But that's where that's where I'm my head is right now.

The 27th of March, the half a day right now. Are so our snow day is March 30th. We have half a day Friday, full day Monday and four days

needs that I want to for a track and field that the invitational needs to track and field will be done. I heard
that and then one of our last week, so I just wanted to say that you just celebrated both the boys and the girls track teams, winning state, release,
and the, and states. And I just wanted to let you know that you can't have both ways. So, if you cut those things, you're taking the way, the highest level of competition that you

taxpayer, and it's clear the proportionate to live in a district with the Board of Education. That's thoughtful and transparent and doing everything. It's hard to build a
budget for next year. Release possible impact students teachers, families and residents. And I genuinely appreciate the care. That's gone into this process. The same time. It's also clear that the
math is not going to resolve itself in a way that leaves us in touch, there will be impacts whether through taxi increases
operational, budget, cuts, and legally, As a resident, understand this reality, even though it's not exciting for most ideal for many who could
be challenging for some. I wanted to ask if you could share what the dollar impact would be for the average
household at the Six Point one percent. Scenario. We had this on the last board meeting so will you go? We can if we can
reintroduce that next time, but if you go back and watch, Supposedly. Yeah, my last presentation posted on the legislation under board on the news. The background
number I've been really the six point four instead of the six
points you. Yeah. If we Thank you. Average Invest home. Yeah,
about 550. Right. Okay. so I'm also here as a parent of three young children in our schools and what makes this
district exceptional isn't just a curriculum of the people. The relationship students filled with the teachers and staff sheep, their daily experience.
I wanted to share that anecdotally. When I speak with other parents, impacts to school, staffing is the least comfortable option. Families may differ on tax tolerance, but
there's a broad concern about anything. That reduces adult support for students. I know it's not it was not in your presentation tonight, but is it
possible for you to pull up the slide? Yeah, that was gonna have to go back and look at that other
presentation. Great. so, I'm last speaking of the Central PTA president, we recognize That if reductions occur there will be
increased pressure on the PTA to fill gaps or fun items that that in the past recovered by the operating budget, we're always committed to supporting
your schools and we'll continue to do so responsibly but that's their limits. To what the PTA understand, give the raise family does not significantly
here. I appreciate the continued transparency and look forward to working together to find what matters those for students. Thank you.
I think it's the medical that we have the supply show, great. Any other? All right.
