Ladies and gentlemen, there's four exits. If there's an emergency, the closest exit may be behind you, so just look around. Um, we have presentations. So, this is one of my favorite things to do. Uh, for throughout the year we have student

Okay, so we're going to do the student presentations, then we have an award for them afterwards. So, since they're not there, we're going to start

7
00:02:42.959 --> 00:03:01.760
on this side today. >> Good evening. Good evening, everyone. As we wrap up the school year, I wanted to share some of the exciting events our seniors have been a part of over the past week. >> On June 8th, we celebrated many of our classmates at Academic Awards Night and recognized their hard work and achievements throughout high school.

8
00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:16.880
The next night, we honored our student athletes at the Athletic Awards Banquet and celebrated their dedication both on and off the field. Then, on June 10th, we held our final open mic night of the year. It was a great reminder of how much talent our students have, not just in academics and athletics, but in music, performance,

9
00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:36.000
and creativity as well. Our senior class also enjoyed a trip to Pocono Valley, which was a lot of fun and gave us a chance to spend time together before graduation. We followed that up with our senior barbecue, another great opportunity to make memories as a class. >> On June 15th, we recognized four seniors who will be continuing their athletic

10
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:52.000
careers at the collegiate level. We are incredibly incredibly proud of their accomplishments and wish them the best in the next chapter. This Thursday, our seniors will participate in the annual walk-through at the preschool and Crusoe school. It's a special tradition that allows us to

11
00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:07.480
reflect on how far we've come and take one last walk down memory lane. And finally, graduation for the class of 2026 will take place this Thursday at 6:00 p.m. at Kingsburg High School. Before I finish, I just want to say thank you. It has been a pleasure attending these Board of Ed Education

12
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:57.440
meetings throughout the year. And it's truly been an honor to serve as senior class president. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> [applause] >> Okay, so we're not going to get Okay. So at this time, uh Mr. Mancuso >> Angelina

14
00:05:30.200 --> 00:07:07.919
I'm not in order so I just messed them up. Let me start with Alexis. >> [applause] >> He's come a long way. And my team, but anybody I know I'd honestly >> [applause] [applause] [applause] >> Good evening. I'd like to ask the joy uh

15
00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:23.400
the Board of Education to uh join me in congratulating Miss Lavery's eighth grade student Victoria Petakova for earning first place in the Monmouth County essay contest What Does Patriotism Mean to You? Victoria's thoughtful and well-written essay stood

16
00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:39.600
out among entries from across the county. In recognition for her accomplishment, she was honored by the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners. This prestigious This prestigious prestigious achievement reflects Victoria's hard work, writing ability, and dedication to the

17
00:07:39.600 --> 00:08:08.560
to civics values. We are incredibly proud of her success and positive example she sets for her peers. Congratulations, Victoria. >> [applause] >> At this time, Victoria is going to read her poem. >> 1 inch out of place. "Hey, fix the

18
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:23.760
flag." My brother and I hear that as soon as we get home from school. Not "Welcome home" or "How was your day?" That's my grandfather. If the American flag outside our house in Kingsburg is crooked, even just a bit, it turns into the same kind of emergency. For him,

19
00:08:23.760 --> 00:08:40.599
this flag is more than just a cloth. He treats it like a responsibility. I arrived in America just 6 months ago, so pretty much everything feels new. The language, the hallways at school, the salt air of the Jersey Shore, the whole rhythm of Mama Cooney.

20
00:08:40.599 --> 00:08:57.480
I'm still figuring things out. However, my grandpa settled in ages ago. His English is still clumsy, but he speaks through actions, so patriotism couldn't be clearer. Grandfather tells us about how his mother would bring home old American magazines when he was a little

21
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:12.680
boy. He and his friends would flip through these glossy pages, staring at the world that seemed like a beautiful myth. He's the most patriotic person I know. Citizenship isn't just some gift for him. It's a job he takes seriously every single day.

22
00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:28.720
He's got a lot of stories. Years ago, his work in the United United Nations community took him straight to a prayer breakfast with President Obama. An immigrant from Kyrgyzstan sitting across from the president. But that is not what makes him a real patriot to me. Real

23
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:45.000
patriotism is what my grandfather does right here at the tennis courts at Haslett. I've seen him firmly call out teenagers who toss their trash right next to the garbage can. Is this a court or a dumpster? They probably think that he is just grumpy and foreign. To me, he's protecting the

24
00:09:45.000 --> 00:10:00.600
dignity of our little corner of New Jersey. He's the one who taught me that you can claim to love your country if you don't respect its ground. If you're lucky enough to live in a free nation, you owe it your best. Starting with the sidewalk outside your own door.

25
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:16.280
We live on land on We We live on land in Monmouth County where people fought for freedom centuries ago. The crossroads of the American Revolution. A place where patriots and loyalists clashed in brutal localized civil warfare. Now when I come home, I don't need a

26
00:10:16.280 --> 00:10:31.600
reminder to straighten the flag. I reach out and fix it myself. Patriotism is about owning where you live. So as I start my first year here, I'll focus on the small acts. The discipline, the respect, and the care I show the people around me.

27
00:10:31.600 --> 00:11:05.680
Patriotism isn't found in grammar textbooks. It lives in every quiet, stubborn action of someone who knows. A strong country gets built one each at a time. >> [applause] >> Thank you. >> [applause] >> Thank you so much.

28
00:11:05.680 --> 00:12:07.880
Thank you. >> Victoria's parents, our family, come on up. Miss Slavery, Miss Hastings, Miss Simmons. Come on. Come on up. Thank you. >> [applause] >> Ms. Lavery has copies of Victoria's poem. If anybody's interested in a copy

29
00:12:07.880 --> 00:12:54.839
of her poem, Ms. Lavery has copies. Ken Cook is now on the dais. Committee reports? All right. So, there was a committee report from the groundskeeper. Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that for the high school graduation, the grounds committee has done an amazing job. We

30
00:12:54.839 --> 00:13:10.240
have a couple things going on. We have the prayer committee praying for beautiful weather. So, I hopefully it's going to be nice and cool, about 65° for graduation, but we are going to try and do it outside if we can. So, um again, the groundskeeper,

31
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:26.520
to say is a lack of better words, but the maintenance team is doing everything we can to make sure this takes place outside. So, that's what I have, and that is it.

00:23:06.800 --> 00:23:44.120
concerns, please come up and ask. Additional, I'm totally told you I'm wearing glasses. Uh additional concerns, please come up, state your name. >> My name is Shelby Torres. Good evening, president of the board, board members, superintendent, and members of our community.

66
00:23:44.120 --> 00:24:00.040
My name is Shelby Torres. I'm a lifelong Kingsburg resident and the mother of Lucas Rodre, who is 7 years old. Lucas enjoys watching cartoons, playing video games, spending time with his friends, and being an active kid. Like every kid, he deserves to feel safe, supported, and excited to go to school. I'm here tonight as a parent to ask for attention

67
00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:16.560
and oversight regarding serious concerns involving my son. Sorry, that has persisted throughout his time in Kingsburg School District. These concerns began when my son attended preschool at the Early Learning Center. During that year, that incident, there was an incident where my son was unaccounted for unaccounted for and I

68
00:24:16.560 --> 00:24:32.560
was unable to obtain clear information regarding their his whereabouts. He was subsequently removed from school. As a parent, not knowing where your child is during that day was frightening. I attended a board meeting seeking answers and my son was allowed to return to school the following week. While he eventually returned, I never felt my

69
00:24:32.560 --> 00:24:49.880
concerns were fully addressed. When my son returned entered kindergarten at Joseph C. Caruso School, he experienced experienced multiple incidents involving other students spitting on him, physically assaulting him, stabbing him with a pencil. I repeatedly reported these incidents as and requested intervention, but I did

70
00:24:49.880 --> 00:25:05.560
not see meaningful action that reassured me that my child was protected. Following that one meeting that I requested to discuss following one meeting that I requested to discuss these concerns, a teacher took my son's backpack and a lunchbox after that meeting concluded. Additionally, although the principal had

71
00:25:05.560 --> 00:25:20.200
approved the meeting, she declined to attend despite my request to speak directly with administration. These experiences experiences left me feeling that my concerns were not being taken seriously. Unfortunately, this pattern has continued during this during first grade, my son was again physically

72
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:37.040
assaulted multiple times. At the same time I experienced ongoing difficulties communicating with the school administration. There were instances where I felt dismissed one when dis- when attempting to discuss concerns about my child well-being. And the comments were made in front of my son that I believe were inappropriate and unprofessional.

73
00:25:37.040 --> 00:25:52.400
Now during the second grade, the situation has escalated even further. My son has repeatedly been jumped by other students on two different occasions. Uh sorry. Along with multiple other physical assaults throughout the school year. Despite numerous reports and repeated

74
00:25:52.400 --> 00:26:08.840
requests for assistance, I remain deeply concerned about the effectiveness of the school response and whether adequate measures are being taken to ensure his safety. I am not here tonight to create conflict or to assign blame. I'm here because these incidents span from preschool through second grade and that take that

75
00:26:08.840 --> 00:26:24.480
taken together represents what I believe a long-standing pattern of unresolved safety concerns and communication issues that I deserve board level awareness and review. As a parent, we entrust our children at the school district everyday with ex- with expectations that we will they will be

76
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:40.080
safe, supported, and able to learn. When repeated incidents occur over multiple years, parents deserve transparency, accountability, and confidence in appropriate action being taken. Therefore, I respectfully request that the board review the history of the reported incidents involving my son,

77
00:26:40.080 --> 00:26:55.840
examine whether the the district policies and procedures were followed properly, evaluate the district's reason to report reasons to reports of bullying and physical assaults, review communication practices between school personnel and parents. Ensure the appropriate steps are being

78
00:26:55.840 --> 00:27:12.040
taken to protect my son's safety and educational well-being moving forward. My goal is simple. I want my child to feel safe at school. I want to ensure that no family has to experience these same concerns. My son no longer feels safe in the district. He deserves to receive an education without have to without he deserves to

79
00:27:12.040 --> 00:27:28.040
receive an education without having to worry about his safety every day he walks into school. For that reason, I am also respectfully requesting that the district considers replacing my son out of district at the district educational program at the district's expense for the upcoming school year so that he can learn in an

80
00:27:28.040 --> 00:27:43.360
environment where he feels safe and supported. Lucas is not just another child in the education education system. He is a member of our community. And he is part of the future. Every child deserves the best opportunity to succeed.

81
00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:58.880
And I believe that it begins in school when where young minds develop and grow. Every family deserves to know that they can entrust the people who pay who play such an important role for their children's lives and not have to worry every time they receive a phone call from the school. Thank you for your time and your

82
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:20.320
attention and your service to the students and families of Kingsburg. I appreciate the opportunity to speak at this speak this evening and respectfully ask for consideration of these concerns. Thank you. >> Thank you. Anybody else wishing to speak? Please

83

84
00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:54.200
know some are moving on to college or other avenues. Some are moving from middle school going up. Um I would like to thank Kingsburg police for being here tonight. Also, I would just like to say that, you know, we saw a lot of things online. Of course, that's alarming, but please come

85
00:28:54.200 --> 00:29:08.880
to school board meetings. I saw a lot of people saying don't come, they don't do anything. Please come and speak to us. We're here. Nobody Nobody's relashing out at anybody. Just please come and speak to us. I know it was a confusing concern, but you know, questions can be answered better here

86
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:27.520
than they can online. That's it. >> Thank you, sir. Ms. Fissel? >> I just want to say congratulations to all the graduates this year. Um, and good luck to Mr. Bonola on her >> Ms. Rowe? >> I want to congratulate all the students

87
00:29:27.520 --> 00:29:45.800
and hope everyone has a great summer. >> Ms. Ryan? >> Um, I just first want to congratulate the graduates of both Golden and Kingsburg High School. Um, I regret that I am unable to attend tomorrow night's graduation

88
00:29:45.800 --> 00:30:02.480
due to a prior work commitment. Um, but I did want to make sure that everyone knew that I wanted to congratulate them. I want to congratulate Victoria on her award. Um, that was a very outstanding essay.

89
00:30:03.520 --> 00:30:18.240
That's it. >> Thank you. Mr. Cook? >> Thank you, Mr. President. I want to first congratulate all the super student reps that have come out throughout the year. Your dedication has definitely gone noticed. I know it's long hours, you have your

90
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:33.600
school work, but we really appreciate you all coming out for all of us. Victoria, great poem, fantastic. I think it's going to inspire a lot if you keep going and pursuing that career and that type of inspiration for others. Congratulations to all the graduates. I look forward to seeing all the

91
00:30:33.600 --> 00:30:49.400
graduations and I also want to congratulate Mr. Bennett and Mr. Gross. You guys have always been there for years and years and you've always done the great jobs guiding Kingsburg School District. So, thank you for all your hard work. That is all. Thank you. >> Ms. Moran?

92
00:30:49.400 --> 00:31:04.600
>> Again, I wanted to thank all the graduates, but most importantly, I wanted to thank our staff. Okay, our teachers, our administrative staff, everybody plays a part, our security, our parents that come to our meetings that we hear your voices. It makes a difference. We have athletes

93
00:31:04.600 --> 00:31:20.560
this year come so far. If you look at all the programs we have, we have more children going to college and the best schools out there. They're not only being accepted to one college, multiple. I mean, that's a testament to the hard work that our teachers put in

94
00:31:20.560 --> 00:31:36.280
and they don't get the recognition as well as our administrative team. Let's talk about security. We hear craziness all over the world. We have safe schools. We have safe schools and they do a hell of a good job. We work with the police department, we work with community, the mayor and

95
00:31:36.280 --> 00:31:52.920
council. We need to be united to protect our children. We have to be advocates for all of our children in this town and instead of judging people, I think that we have to work together, talk to each other face to face. Don't write it, come speak it and let's work together.

96
00:31:52.920 --> 00:32:09.640
We are all available. You have our phone numbers, you have to have our email address. We need to get stronger in what we do and we have to have a peaceful communication. And I wish everybody a happy summer and thank you for all you did. >> Mr. Gross?

97
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:24.960
>> Mr. Moran? Sure? No? Sure? >> Mr. Couple of things. First, the awards, both the academic and the sports awards. I I do apologize I'm not able to make those. I'm unfortunately, I'm in the city more often than I wish to be at this point in time, but I I'm looking forward to

98
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:40.560
graduation tomorrow, which I'll make sure that I'm I'm at. Um I do want to congratulate everybody who was there. It's amazing that we have four athletes that are continuing on to college and and going to, you know, and getting top level schools at this. Um congratulations to Jayden again. can't say MIT enough as as we continue to to

99
00:32:40.560 --> 00:32:56.960
sit here, um which brings me to to really our student representatives, our high school and middle school. Several years ago, um we started having the student representatives start to come and talk to us. Um we did it before it was required by law of the state, followed us by a couple of years, and even at that, only high school students

100
00:32:56.960 --> 00:33:11.760
come to regular board meetings, the middle school doesn't have a voice at most tables. Um it's a two-way street, though. The The students are allowed to come here and speak, um but they're also allowed to bring their opinion and talk to us about things that are on the agenda, um as well as bring that information back to their student council so that they know what's

101
00:33:11.760 --> 00:33:28.440
happening at these board meetings, um so they understand that that's happening. Um I do want to thank the the business administrator. One of the things I'm I'm stuck at as I continue to go through is I see a number of uh transfers of surpluses to reserves. That's a a nice thing to see is that we're not overspending anything, and and hopefully budget time that'll that'll come out to

102
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:44.320
to be a a benefit for us. Also, a lot of things with shared services, um that we're constantly looking for, and and the BA and and the uh administration is constantly figuring out ways um to work with other parts of the community or other part other entities so that we can reduce our costs, including with our uh

103
00:33:44.320 --> 00:33:59.720
our business administrator and and our board secretary. The way that works. Um I do want to thank the police department for being here tonight. Um the When it was first uh discussed about having someone here, it it took a matter of minutes to find out that someone would be available to to come to the

104
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:16.080
board, um and to be here to answer any questions. Um I'm not going to belabor anything that was online uh too much, but I I'm I I'm struck by a couple of things that people said that we the school didn't take things seriously. The entire reason that we're here talking about anything that has to do

105
00:34:16.080 --> 00:34:31.679
with this is because the school took it incredibly seriously. The police were immediately called. The police came, took over the investigation, and the police char- placed charges. The only reason you're hearing that is not because we brushed it under rug and tried not to let anybody outside of here it. We brought in the police, the prosecutor's office, and made it

106
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:47.879
completely public. So, um I'm a little bit confused. Security is paramount here. We have a close working relationship with the school. I've been there when we've had lockdowns, when we've had to have between Mr. Hoff liaison with uh the the police department as we released students out of uh Caruso, my child being one of those to make sure each of

107
00:34:47.879 --> 00:35:02.960
those students [clears throat] made it out to their their parents. We have an incredibly close relationship with them. I have kids in the school and I can tell you I feel incredibly safe. We let my kids leave the house each morning uh knowing that they're in the hands of our teachers, knowing that we have SROs in each one of those schools, um and and

108
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:20.840
knowing the relationship that we have with the police department. And with that, I'd like to thank the teachers, the administration, everything for all the hard work that they've done. And I look forward to uh what do we have? Two more days before graduation and then um everybody enjoy your summer. Everyone says what all my notes I'm going to hide my notes and at the

109
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:36.520
beginning of the meeting. So, Mr. Kitchen, thank you for saying what you said. Sir, thank you for saying what you said. I said what I said and uh we'll leave it at that. Thank you. Um the awards were an amazing night for the scholarships and unfortunately I could not attend the sports awards. Um

110
00:35:36.520 --> 00:35:52.600
again, I don't see him in the crowd, but Mr. Henry, we're going to miss you and uh we'll we'll kind of come to your Board of Education meetings. Don't worry. We will be there. Um sports. The Bolgers softball team made a deep run into the playoffs. They come back and won against Union Beach, but we lost in

111
00:35:52.600 --> 00:36:08.160
the finals. Congratulations to Miss Lee for doing an outstanding job. Ladies and gentlemen, if you didn't come, the Butterfield was amazing. Um you're not supposed to mention names, but um we did have some we're going to call it the Fernandez family because everyone

112
00:36:08.160 --> 00:36:25.640
from the baby baby until the grandmother dressed up and were in the hallways helping our kids. That's an amazing. I know there was a ton of people. Mrs. Mankowski was dressed up and there. So, everybody who helped set up, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. But the Fernandez family, they they oof, thank you. The PTA,

113
00:36:25.640 --> 00:36:42.960
again, an amazing job. The staff that was there to come see our students. I saw her out there. Where is she? She came and gave her award. There she is, Ms. Simic. I thought I thought a rock star came into the um to the cafeteria. Like everyone went running. I was like, "Oh my god, Harry Styles is here."

114
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:58.960
It was Ms. Simic. So. And the kids were amazing. It was simply amazing. I love um being part of this food line, and it's incredible to see them get all that sugar in them and then go dance. We have two huge graduations coming up. And we'll start with the first one,

115
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:15.240
these eighth graders going into ninth grade. We happen to Ms. Farrell, and who else was there, Ms. Farrell, when we went and saw the students speak about what it means to be an eighth grader leaving. Ken, you're right. I'm sorry, sir. So, it was incredible how so many of these eighth graders said if the one of the

116
00:37:15.240 --> 00:37:31.000
questions was, "What would you do different?" Some of them said, "I wouldn't have been that hard on myself." Some of them said, "I would have made more friends." Some of them said, "I have to lose friends cuz I'm choosing a different school." But, it's incredible how they said time went by so fast. So, in 4 years from now, we're going to be giving them diplomas.

117
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:46.520
So, that leads us to Thursday. Again, the groundskeepers have done an amazing job on the field. The church team is praying for um 80° 65° 75° day. We think it's going to happen. To the parents, thank you. Thank you for allowing your kids to come to school every day and

118
00:37:46.520 --> 00:38:02.040
allow our amazing teachers to teach them. Again, we have a gentleman right here. Yeah, we're going to pick on you again, Jeremy. Going to MIT. He just didn't get up yesterday and say he's going to MIT. He he started when he when he first came here. And everyone he says everyone believed in him. So, with that being said, I believe in every one of my

119
00:38:02.040 --> 00:38:18.160
teachers. I believe in every one of my security guards. I believe in every one of my kitchen workers. I believe because again, our children we're here for one thing and one thing only, and that's called education. So, with that being said, um we're going to celebrate 250 years on the 4th of July. The Borough of Kingsbury is going

120
00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:34.000
to have a huge, I mean, huge firework display on the board uh strike that on the beach about 9:00. So, if anybody's available, please come. With that, for those who can't be at graduation, I wish everybody a happy and safe summer, and we'll see you I think there was a song see you in

121
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:49.240
September. With that, I'll take a motion to end. Thank you. >> I'll second. >> I'll second. >> All in favor? >> Aye. >> Thanks. Hey, great job. I appreciate it.
