because I Got Hijacked today by my wife some of you may know how that goes you know honey can we do this and you you know you usually know when it's coming can avoid it but I got trapped today and deed and so yeah I went and then you know once you're there it's said well while we're here you think we can go
here you know and then another place and so meanwhile you know five and a half six hours later I'm rushing back and I what that that's okay she she doesn't watch any I tell her to watch she never watched anyhow so I rushed back and I did it so I've got a few things to go
over you cut me off and I'll do the second half later on if you want um I had a question about the on the cameras on the buses then I went through some of the bills and I saw that we actually do have u a bill for uh Wi-Fi if I'm not mistaken on the buses so the question I
have regarding that of good is is that live stream or live monitor me some watching cameras or does it blind does it just go to recording in event there's an incident um and when does that when is that going to happen or is it already Happ I think it's a good idea to have
the camer on the and also have a GPS on bus do we know where they are how fast they're going uh I had a we only stools bus flyinging GPS um I have a question on a few things
one on bills uh this is AI tool brisk risk labs for $110,000 I don't know that why we're paying $10,000 or by misunderstanding i' like an explanation for that uh
Cornerstone day schools it's $9,000 I don't know what that is that for a particular student or not or is that just something else um the Human Resources officer nothing to do with the person a matter the question
is is it a new position an add on or is it replacement if it's new why if it's an addon could we not have done without it and save the $77,000 plus benefit Sal but has nothing to do with person person under tuition rates these
question is these are these are monies we collect from the U people that attend for example preschool for an Autism student would be um rate is $29,000 and the estimated on that one
just say that whole list that list toct people that just to be the first one on it or is that money that we have to pay send our kids some question on that under bills also there's I'm sorry I'll
turn that off uh there's a bunch of people going for personal advancement to NJ o I don't know what that is i' like an explanation of what that is and what the benefit theend uh it's only $390 person a person but
there's about eight or nine of them just want to know what the benefit would they um complement a little house under under generating Revenue I noticed that we're collecting $74,000 uh from a the use of the Little
Theater on Sundays uh it's not a matter not a matter of renting it empty space dead space and turning into cash a great idea and custodian there a lot of money to collect some can use that space on TR so the public needs
to know that they are you know we are tring to offset some the expenses um change order one the bills classroom Renovations said there was a u n $8,700 change order additional i' like
to know what that was for thing oh public service announcements as I mentioned in the past I have Jack going over we have to do it I'd like to see a group people approach the county or the
state the change tuition for buron cem private school school's fine wonderful wonder they have that available but I think my kids private school B fine I
had to pay for I didn't of Le in general subsidize my expense to go to Holy this is a private setup know it's County but it's private we're paying 44,000 I don't know if it's monthly or not or that just semester but a lot of money and we
as thank you anyone else from the public wish speak okay that brings us to the next item board comments any comments from board members or student Representatives on any agenda related items okay okay um so I'm going to
answer some of your questions and I'm going to pass it to Eric to answer some of yours as well um so the cameras on the buses we do the Wi-Fi is live um so we don't have someone actually sitting there the entire time the buses are out watching but it is live streaming if you do need to look into where the buses are
right and it's recorded right so we can always go back um and we do have GPS on the bus build list uh for AI tools for bris Labs um that is an AI tool that our uh district has so all all staff in the district uh have access to it um it is a
a tool that uh supports students and teachers so it gives students immediate feedback um as they're writing like it'll help them and support them and it'll help the it helps the teachers uh you know kind of uh support the students a little bit better it helps develop assignments it helps give them um uh it
gives them tips to support the student so it'll say like you know this student should work on this or this student need help here and so it's just an AI tool that supports and it's access all of our teachers and students can access it across the district um uh the HR
officer um HR officer is not a new position uh we've had that position in the district for uh for a few years now uh that is our our last person that was in the position resigned so this is a new hire for the position um it was a new position a few years ago uh it was
with all of the state regulations and all the state requirements that are changing the position is just it's a very important position for the district we report a lot of information to the state and that person really makes sure that all the information will reporting is accurate when it comes to any type of community res resource uh
reporting uh NJ TSA uh that's for it's the New Jersey teachers of English to speak other languages and our teachers are attending that so our ESL teachers so our teachers who actually teach students are multilingual students as well as one teacher per department is going to um it's it's basically a
conference where they'll learn about ways to support our bilingual and our multilingual Learners and then to piggy back off of what Dr caram said relating to the cameras it is a live monitoring um which also records
GPS it also tracks speed location all that but the main objective of the cameras wasn't GPS we already had GPS installed on the buses uh but we can do live monitoring but the the cameras are constantly recording so at any time we could always you know upload that data
um and retrieve data that has happened already relating to the Cornerstone Day School that 9,000 is a tuition at a District student so that's a tuition cost for a student we're sending you know a placement uh relating to a student that were placed at a
district relating to the tuition rates those are rates that we charge um other leas or could be a parent for a student that's coming into the district so those are rates based on the most recent certified rate so that was um that was
released a couple of weeks ago so I basically take that number we utilize that data and that always gets chewed up um two years later so that's so basically the 2526 rate will get reconciled in
2728 relating to the use of facilities the 74,000 roughly and the 52,000 those rates are in accordance with our district policy for use of facilities so that's in accordance with that policy with the custodial that's basically to offset the cost of paying the custodian
that needs to be on site because the building is occupied so that's kind of going directly tied to the additional overtime relating to the 74,000 that money goes back into the budget it's you know for improvements Capital items to
offset taxes you know for the residents of the and obviously the more use the facility is um occupied the more maintenance is you know needed to to maintain that building uh for the uh the change order relating to that 8700 I believe that's
for the core project that was for additional work that was needed that wasn't quoted by the um the vendor who's doing the project that was a a small item that I believe there was some type of masonary work that um based on the
design that was kind kind of U not originally quoted um and once we reviewed it with the architect it was deemed to be um additional work that we needed to approve that wasn't previously approved it wasn't through a bid or anything like that it was a local co-op so it wasn't something that the vendor
shouldn't known or you know there's a um it could raise any any lowest bid uh compliance so we went through a local Cooperative V uh relating to the tuition for bermies uh that is 40 something thousand is I believe a monthly amount that's
roughly the monthly amount I believe we have roughly 33 students that are going out of district from 9 through 12 um so I mean you know we get that data and I'm doing the curent budget for next year so that data hasn't been released yet for next year but that's something that
those students like I I always say they're not on a Assa as resident students so they're not included in our state aid count but there is an expense that the state requires us to pay over to you you know Bergen countyy and vot
time and I believe that was what question thank you that brings us to item 1.6 public presentations um I apolog I know we move past public comments but I was curious if maybe we'd
like to the board would be okay with me opening public comment back up okay name and address please just wanted to say thank you to Dr car for stepping up yet again um district is very lucky to have you and we're in good

up it's March 3rd to 7th um I do know ACS was asking for parent volunteers and signups for uh parents to come visit the classrooms and read to the the classes so there was a parent parents were post on that recently uh advisory uh recently
launched their eighth grade mentoring program a few weeks ago so eighth grade students are working with fifth and sixth graders on decision making and how their decisions impact others so a new program for our eighth graders uh at LMS it's a stepping stone to the pure
leadership and then bringing that over to the high school eventually um and then at LHS we had Jordan Toma visit our ninth graders last week um Jordan Toma also known as as uh I'm just a kid with an IEP I don't know if you saw the

happy to report that the district had two successful bid openings um one was relating to our EV bus leas which uh we're leasing the difference of what the grant is not covering which is roughly a little over $800,000 so we had three three bids the
lowest bidder um came in at 4.10% interest rate so that's being in the process of uh it actually has been reviewed by Mr L as well as our lease consultant so we're in the process of submitting that formally to the board
for approval and moving forward with the closing documents on that project uh the next bid was relating to our interior Renovations at LHS which we bundled three projects together one was the media center the other project was the
weight room SL fitness center and the other project was the last project was the art room Renovations uh relating to the sink Replacements that were damaged by uh the flooding uh relating to our August rainstorm so the first one the media
center there was also three bits that came in for that project uh the lowest bidder uh the potential lowest bidder came under the projected construction cost by 120,000 so that's great news um the the
weight room in the fitness center there was also three bids that were returned for that project the lowest bidder was slightly over the projected construction cost by 12,000 which will utilize uh some of that uh additional funding for some of the closed projects that were on
the budget and and the last project was the art room Renovations which we didn't have a uh an exact budget because that's going through insurance so that's in the process of being reviewed and approved by Insurance um once we we confirm all those uh projects um really the key
thing is the insurance approval because they were all bundled together once we decide if insurance is going to move forward with the art room Renovations then that'll determine how the bids are going to be awarded with the other two projects so that currently we're waiting for insurance to come back on that uh
with the anticipating uh close out to be submitted to the board on March 11th for the final approval so I like to thank Mr leer for his work in reviewing these projects as well as our architect and making sure everything's in compliant with the bid laws uh the last thing I
just like to thank uh Miss cop my admin assistant and and all the board members and trying to get their financial disclosures forms in uh by the required date Mr Grow thank you for getting it in within the 30-day time period thank you for that work um and the budget the last
piece is the budget is moving along um so far you know with the with the certified rates with the you know projected costs I mean it's we're in the kind of the same boat as last year with special Leed costs increasing with uh health benefit costs uh coming back from
our insurance broker roughly around 14% they're projecting out the budget would anticipate an increase from the state uh general liability insurance there you know they're projecting out you know budgeting around 8% so we're still in these high percentage increases relating
to our overall uh you know these these I guess statutory expenses that we kind of you know have to kind of work with uh the district did look into kind of privatizing our our health insurance which we did not get any potential uh
private carriers to to submit an RFP based on our claim loss ratio so we're kind of you know we're always looking at ways to kind of save money and and um you know save the tax pay dollars uh but as of right now we're kind of in the same same predicament as prior year with
you know potential state aid decreases we don't know what's going to happen with federal grants uh Ida which we kind of offset some of that special L cost uh every year some of that tuition out of District as well as our Essa grants Title One title two title three title
four so there's a lot of unknowns um hopefully with you know with the the governor's address and the month we'll have a better idea as far as you know what we're looking at for those state aid and federal grants but it's moving along uh we have a meaning set up internally with myself uh and Exon to
kind of go over that the budget recap and then I believe we have a finance meeting on the calendar for the following weekk okay that brings us to item six committee reports starting with our student Representatives hi we just wanted to reiterate the importance of the card
party for the graduating class it is our biggest fundraiser and probably pays for our trip to Dorney Park so we'd really appreciate if people of the public and like family and friends can buy tickets even if they can't come and to hopefully win some great prizes we want to say
that spring sports athletic registration has opened for girls and boys track boys volleyball baseball softball girls flag football and boys tennis and we want to kind of not out there that boys volleyball is a new sport this year so we're very excited and so is girls bag football

about strategic planning during these meeting times so we did discuss um Vic doing the ethics training um I believe at the next meeting um and then um we are discussing the CSA evaluation um even with Brian's
um retirement we will be completing and going through that process as the board it's um still important for us to go through that process um and then um zanti did a great job of sharing the strategic planning admin notes with the
group um uh she kind of went through all the different goals um that the strategic planning um is including so um I think our committee is excited to continue to get updates at each of our meetings thank you thank you it's great to hear about

related can I have a motion on a second second second Mr Park um can we have roll call please Miss Choy Mr
gr Dr me yes Miss Molina yes Mr Park yes Mr zepa yes Miss Thompson yes vice president Melman and president Le yes motion carries on new business thank you that brings us to our
second public comment period on any school related matter anyone from the public wishing to speak please up to the the podium provide your name and address you'll have two minutes to speak hello Robin patmore 212 War Lane New Jersey I had three questions
actually one I received a survey app about the gifted and talented program I didn't think we had one I know that there was one at some point but I thought it was done away with though I'm not too sure I had to answer the surve um unless I'm missing something um the
other thing isass r that done away with also at the highest School best rankings it was their reason so that's the other thing and then hopefully this is down the road but
if we lose Federal funding how are we going to be and what plans are we thank you very much we'll answer your questions after we get through the public comment read agging on to Robert brought up is actually a comment for Eric considering
the potential for loss of federal funding I know you T around 10% Collective Reserve around million plus or minus U is there any retiring debts that's coming up that we could possibly pocket unless you hadark that for new
project are there any new projects coming up that might be uh theable should the funding you know grants be canell or whatever so rather than shoing everybody from no of anybody anyone else from the public
please Jordan Ziggler 2011 Christie Street also your board of edly Aon from the mayor and councel uh on behalf of the mayor and Council we're wishing uh Dr gate and the Very speedy recovery uh we're also would' like to offer our condolences for the loss of Mrs car Le who I understand passed away over the weekend uh I had
Mrs Al fifth grade teacher uh very difficult loss for me I think she honestly was one of the best teachers I had in my time in the school district really did prepare me for middle school and life ahead and also happy birthday Lori thank you very much any other comments from the
public seeing none we'll move on to board comence uh for bringing that up uh Jordan about yes she did recently pass away um you know our hard to the ACs family a lot of people you know had a really good relationship with her kept in with after
her retirement um I got to spend a few months with her actually I met her when I was a supervisor in Edge Water I got to work with her on our Edge Water Summits that's where I really got to know her and know her just great knowledge of education and math specifically math instruction I'm should definitely be
missed um answer some of the other questions the gifted and talented survey um so thank you for bringing that up I actually should have probably reminded everyone in my uh survey um so the fact that you thought it was gone away that's a great reason why you should fill out
that survey to give us that feedback yes yes please that that so you know we're collecting one of the things that came from the board goals the district goals and through strategic planning was really looking at our different programs that we provide and one of those programs is what we provide for our gifted and um for our academically
Advanced students so we're definitely collecting that feedback so we can get a better picture of the so we're collecting feedback from the community we're also collecting feedback from staff and from the board to get a better understanding of the perception of what our gifted programs are like out there and then we can bu rebuild
internal okay um we did do away with class rank um it was a long discussion and process and research it was last last school year um through the Board of Education uh education committee um we talked a lot about um we did we talked a lot about the impact of class rank uh we
found that colleges no longer look at class rank uh they don't use it as part of the admissions process um um and we felt that uh they the colleges consider other factors like academics coursework extracurricular activities leadership
qualities and personal character um so the weighing the stress of class rank versus um you know the the lack of benefit it is to there there was no benefit to college colleges weren't looking at it students weren't benefiting from having it um so we
ultimately through a long conversation and collaboration with our administrators and the board of educ we removed it um that was affected this school year thank you Robin and and author um relating to Federal funding that's a great question um as of right now I mean
we don't have any large items coming off the books um next year after next year we do have a large lease that's coming off it's about 350,000 but because it's a capital item infrastructure I'm able to utilize capital reserve so it really not even
with that coming off it's not a reduction in taxes per se because I utilize that Reserve balance to kind of offset that lease um as of right now I mean the information we're receiving from the county through the state you know State through the county is that
you know the grants uh they kind of anticipate grant funding is going to be similar to what you have received previously there's no new information um as far as like the title ones title twos title threes I know exanti does a great job when she does the the Grant application it's supplementing a lot of
programs that is not you know we don't we're not tying up um items that we need the grant for I mean this is adding PD it's adding resources that enhance the school so I mean that's an area where you know that might have to be either decrease so funds might be moved in
other lines to kind of offset that need um the biggest thing is special ed because um from doing the budget I mean every year special edit keeps going up based on amount of students uh either getting uh place out a district because of the need based on the resources um
even with specialed students in District to support that need that you know those students need to get a a free education so those costs constantly are increasing so one of the grant that we do utilize to supplement that that overall cost is Ida which is roughly about 350,000 per
se um so I mean it's a large amount I mean I historically budget typically about 75 to 80% of the current Grant award for like a decrease so if we get more funding it benefits you know the district but to reduce it completely um
you know that is an an item where it'll be a little bit tough to kind of figure out you know as far as what the district needs to um do without kind of going into a cut as far as you know salaries and reducing other expenses just to add to that similarly
to what we're doing with gifted and talented part of strategic planning is looking at all of our programs so part of that will be looking at special ed programs and what we what we're spending sending out students what we can bring in in back into the district that'll be uh a review and an analysis in the next
year through our strategic planning process thank you um definitely not a um a fun thought to think of if we were to lose Federal funding but it'll be something that obviously we'll take a close look at as it continues to develop um if it if it develops further um as
well things like the the doe being dismantled and things of that nature so we will be looking at that closely um I mean we are a local board so we're impacted by the decisions on the state county state and federal level but we'll navigate the best we can in terms of other board comments I
did want to make a comment about the card party for the public if you haven't been there you want a an event where you can without guilt spend money this is the event to do it it is abs absolutely worthy cause um it's great event for the
seniors um you can win yourself some prizes too um so come with some food and be prepared with your wallets and your checkbooks um for a chance to win a good good Prize or nice prizes for a great cause so definitely if you have the time please please make an attempt to to come
out uh 14th March 14th and um we are coming up on the agenda on Executive session um which we do have to have an executive session I'm not kicking everyone out just yet um I did
want to mention obvious Dr carus mentioned it earlier um Brian's medical leave for the fall that he had um during the LMS talent show um definitely disappointed that he can't be here um that coupled with his up upcoming
retirement and the subject of the close session we we'll be discussing um in depth the next steps for our superintendent search uh we are in the process process of selecting a search firm once we have that search firm selected we will go with advertisements for positions or for the position uh
once those once rums are received those will be screened and then we'll go through an in-depth selection process um currently the intent is to go with the same superintendent profile that we did just two years ago um having that having been so recent um we really didn't feel
like there was the need to revise that um Brian has been extremely successful in his short term here we're very happy what performance that he had we hope to find someone that can fill his big shoes um we have great intern help right now and Dr caramanos and we're very happy to have her for supporting us through this
I'm very fortunate to have her supporting us through this so um that will be essentially the majority of the close session discussion we do have other matters to riew as well um we expect to be in close session for for quite a long time um if you do want to wait around on YouTube I think an
hour um at least an hour of discussion and deliberation which time we'll come back in and we will take our final vote on personnel and then close the meeting so at this time can I have a motion to go into CL
