##VIDEO ID:eT59lOIe9FY## at our 2024 2025 board goals um so thank you for participating in that and we are going to move right into let's see I mean it's clicking on yep yes so we are going to move right into presentations and welcome uh I'll just turn it over to uh Mr Alexis then okay thank thank you Mrs case um so we have the meeting all called to order and we are just going to invite our uh Auditors forward we have Mr Mooney and Mr Co from nisaia and they'll present the audit I believe they left uh books with the entire audit uh [Music] for good evening can everyone hear me okay mhm yes all right so if you I in the books I put the AMR right in the spot that I'm going to talk about in the the B1 and the B2 so you just open up to where that AMR is um so first you have two books the the AER which is your financial statements and the AMR which is your annual management report um so I'm going to talk about the the act for it first so the B1 is your balance sheet um so it's just going to go over your assets and your liabilities yes for those of you pulled it out what it is p7 thank you um sorry about that um my bad so balance sheet and and your income statement so I'm going to talk about um sorry your fund balances so fund balance went up $11,000 this year from June 30th to 23 to June 30th the 24 um that does not include $118,000 which is your last June state aid payment that you don't not allowed to book until July that's because a number of years ago the state decided that they didn't want to pay your last June statement to you and they took it off their balance sheet so you couldn't have it on your balance sheet if they didn't have it on theirs so we're not allowed to book that until July so that's a month behind but anyway so this your cap sorry your fund balance is made up of 6.26 2 million uh capital reserve is 3 million that's up about $48,000 maintenance was consistent at 961 th000 emergency reserves is consistent of 250 your excess Surplus was $330,000 now that is funds that were unused this year that we're going to use to balance your budget in 2025 now this is a common budgeting practice that we see and it's used to make sure that the levy remains constant and also that you're using the unspent funds from this year to off offset the levy in future years we also had some uh your unemployment was almost unchanged at 238,000 incumbrances went down a little to 313 and then your subsequent year expenditures was 336 which is last year's $330,000 so it rolled a little bit and then you're unassigned end of the year at $797,000 now your unassigned is a function of your total expenditures it's 2% of your total expenditures plus or minus a couple of adjustments that we're allowed to take now that 2% is the maximum the state will allow you to have and you have that set aside there so you're as healthy as the state will allow you to be um John and I were talking on the car ride over here about how our our best districts often keep increasing and using that 2% Levy cap uh for your future budgets and we wanted to apply you on your efforts with that and making sure that you're staying up with the cost because we run into a lot of districts this year that are that um weren't able to maintain that and now they're upset about their 25 26 budget they're looking at that and like oh shoot we've lagged behind and now we can't catch back up so good job on that just wanted to make that note to you guys all right so your capital reserve and your maintenance Reserve um it was pretty consistent from the year you started off at $3 million and you end ended at 3,36 now that $3 million was at June 30th 2024 I just want to mention that your 20242 budget you withdrew $1 million from that and then you also had some Rod Grant projects for your fund 30 which was another $930,000 so really as of now your balance is about $1.1 million in capital reserve that's not to say that you're going to use all those funds there might be some left over that can go back to capital reserve and then it would have to also go back to capital reserve and then your maintenance Reserve you budgeted a m sorry $100,000 of that to be used in your 2425 budget as well special Revenue fund you use $355,000 of federal grants and in and state grants was $64,000 and your debt service fund uh the district had $3.7 million of outstanding bonds as of 630 2024 um the final maturity on the 2014 bonds occurred I believe in August of 24 so now that one was paid off with a final payment of $184,000 just to note in those books there are historical information about your B1 so you can see the fund balance is going back 10 years that's on your j3 and then on the your B2 your income statement you can see that going back 10 years on your j4 that's well in the back of the book but if you wanted to ever compare your income statements for the past 10 years you can do that on the j3 balance sheet j3 income statement j4 there's also some other useful information back in the JS um with your debt percentage of 6.44% that's on your j13 um your the total number of employees for the past 10 years is on the j16 and your operating sta excuse me statistics is on your j17 so there's a a couple of schedules back there that you might find useful in comparing now to the past 10 years I I'd like to cover recommendations which would be in your small book you don't need to open it up we're okay uh I want to thank Robin for her hard work and her team too this is the third year that we have no formal recommendations um thank you for putting up with us I know that the Auditors are everybody's favorite people especially when we come out and bug you but we really appreciate you prioritizing us and getting us in and out so we can get our audit done like you Brian I appreciate that thank you uh we did have two suggestions these suggestions we gave to all of our districts this year um one of them is is about making sure we do our reimbursement requests consistently that was something that has come up in other districts desk reviews the state wants us to do monthly or quarterly reimbursement requests which isn't always feasible especially when you put amendments in to those grants on ewig they block you from making changes for three or four months but but that's something that they're putting in everybody's audit so we wanted to make you aware of it and then also to mention that the um the covid-19 grants just because we didn't have to do a federal single audit on them doesn't mean that the state won't come in at a later point in time so you need to maintain those documentations and backup for quite some time because they're usually a number of years behind is there like a seven-year on that or is it so yes there is a year on that um I'm sure that they'll catch up within the next seven years but um I'll be back between now and then and I'll let you know make sure that you know you can get rid of those documents at that time okay any questions comments we were very fortunate the finance committee to have you know have a meeting and I guess you it was just really good to hear that you know no recommendations it just really yes we have a very good team and we appreciate that nobody else okay thank you thank you very much you thank thank you coffee table okay um any uh we're going to move to Communications um I do not have any Mr Alexis do you have any nothing to report okay board committee and liaison reports start with Karen okay um well the finance committee met this past Wednesday and uh note is uh we're coming up to the 2024 health and safety evaluation of the school buildings it'll be done by the health office out of Bernardsville uh and that's that's coming up um we had and as I mentioned in our goal review there's updates to uh operating procedures control manual and a purchasing manual that are being done in line with qack school lunch program uh we passed the major review by the Department of Agriculture and if I'm not mistaken Robin there's going to be you know there's like observations the announced and the unannounced and we're going to get an unannounced what's interesting is when they do the review they look at every single thing the portions that the students are getting making sure there's enough carbohydrates and you know car U sugars how they're Serv serving are they serving it how hot is it when they're getting served checking the equipment checking the sink where things are rinsed I mean they went through everything and they visited every school so we passed very very nicely so to Robin and Dom that was great um the menu continues to be reviewed and um as I mentioned we've we've gotten to the point where next year we'll be uh handling serving breakfasts so that's something we have to work towards and move towards um the uh extended school program school year program that we had with WatchON came to an end it was very successful in a lot of ways not only monetarily but the the mixture of the students and the you know the new teachers you know because they we shared teachers and the classes were mixed from the students so that was also very beneficial situation um in terms of looking at uh the course per student it came out to be about $1900 261 1926 is going to be some look at to see what the per cost per student in past Year's was like I said not all the the benefits we could say are monetary at all but there was a lot of other benefits associated with it and what we're looking to or came up for next year is possibly uh Greenbrook joining and you know extending it out to Warrington just see how it goes but there's lot of logistics and you know so many children in the classes whether we have to uh add teachers Etc but that's that's that's for next summer uh grants we talked about before um the newest Grant was one associated with getting uh food serving equipment for the breakfast program uh we heard from the audit review how well we did one thing that he didn't I I was hoping to mention and he they I guess that in over the years they've been with us in the past last five years they've said we have grown to what he would call and he put in quotes like very strong financial position and obviously the benefits are if we ever have to go out to work you know in terms of interest rates and our ability to handle emergencies he said we are at we we've just balanced ourselves enough that he thinks that we can handle you know he just say we're in a strong financial position was very encouraging Transportation it appears now that I guess 99.9% of the time all students are delivered safely by 4:15 um a lot of good reviews in terms of bus drivers uh and you know the service there was a concern or two about you know and they came out in notes that uh George has pointed out in terms of bus stops but basically a 10,000% difference in terms of the beginning of this year versus last year um okay uh the art uh student services I think we mentioned that they couldn't find um parttime positions for par professionals and they had to go outside uh services so they put out ads no response so instead what had happened was an RFP went out and with with the responses the responses that came in from uncommon threat and stepping stone and we enlisted our we got they're more expensive than it would have been if we hired directly but nobody came in so we we couldn't find them and very very strong response on the part of uh Jerry with with the caliber of the people that we've got uh I guess Katie can talk about the rod Grant okay for the Central School library renovation Robin Mark um Mark 2.0 Mr V and Miss EMT went to uh watch Young Hills Regional High School to actually look at what they had done in their referendum that Revisited their media library area to get ideas for planning for the central school um let's see now there was a a session provided in one of the professional development groups for workman's compensation and it Prov it proved to be very very uh beneficial for the nursing and for the employes used to know about the requirements things that were explained time limits um you know there's just a whole lot of things associated with intervals require and requirements and everybody felt it was very very beneficial uh with respect to force you're going to see this on the agenda now that their individual activities are listed this is purely for insurance purposes so it identifies them as being responsible versus us being responsible and also I guess there was a discussion with Katie about uh having a nurse available you know they're on Nurse available for handling emergencies Robin will deal will I guess give a brief review of the budget calendar when we get there there are some standard resolutions on the uh agenda associated with a application for school state aid district report for transported students uh Deb service data Etc uh we all know that Adele submitted her resignation looking for repl getting replacement all the bills were reviewed we're in good stad and our next meeting is December 4th in terms of governance talked about the board retreat we just had our mid goal review um we're GNA have another one in April I think everybody had a positive view about how it went and um okay we started our uh strategic planning planning for our strategic planning sessions which are set for February 19th March 6th and March 18th you know a lot of planning will go into that in terms of uh inperson virtual etc etc getting out invites uh save the date request has already gone out by George to the parents so we're going to move ahead on that um we had a brief look at the committee responsibilities like I said governance is looked at theirs we made some changes uh there were things that we weren't doing we really should go over to policy so we're sending them over to policy and they're practically actually already covered and we'll we'll uh send out a sample of how we did it because each committee should be looking at your responsibilities as per on the website just so we clean them up and we make sure that we have ourselves aligned with what we're really doing and uh we got the Ed uh oh what the governance committee is going to do is something that one of the two of the chairs mentioned that they have already done is go back and look over at the minutes of the Committees and um you know just just see what's going on uh and see the timings and attendance Etc and just see how we're going on in general and um uh the ongoing discussion we have is our role with the Committees and with the board and our next planned meeting is November 19th and that's it and there was a meeting of the Morris County Ed Services Commission uh but I was not able to attend I did get the update and at this stage the only thing is they had their own audit and they had no recommendations and there's nothing else from them reported this time that's it any questions for Karen okay thank you Danielle okay um the community relations committee had a a meeting on November 1st through Zoom intendance was myself George Kim and Tom um we spoke about uh several things um we spoke about the strategic planning process that's coming up in February and March um different ways to reach out to different groups and organizations throughout the community um coming up with a list and making sure that they're going to get their own special invites um talking about uh District climate survey putting something out um I guess we've decided or the district's deciding to go with the Ruckers um template um and it would be going out to like teachers parents children with the parents permission um we got some updates on the social media approach and the capabilities it looks like Millington and Gillette just got clearance so we have multiple handlebars for our different the three different schools um and the District uh we also talked about just different ways to gain um Communications through uh Outreach through the community um and we're just trying to Foster the idea of community and having a level of comfortability um with the different stakeholders that they can come to the district with any um requests any donations any questions concerns suggestions um and just kind of pivoting on on being able to collaborate with with these individuals um instead of uh instead of doing anything Anonymous or anything like this um we spoke about parent teacher conferences for grades 5 through eight um just looking at the attendance for this coming week uh with the new change with Central Middle School um also looking you know highlighting the fact that you know even though Middle School parents there there's not an identified um you know date and time time really but parents can always reach out to the teachers and ask for a conference if they'd like at any point during the year um we had continued discussions on the Sterling Street Fair um showcasing different students Pro projects or uh the robotics team and possibly even the chorus or the band um coming to the event um at this next year at the street fair and we talked about more giveaways um and then oh ongoing discussions with the how to support the PTO and possibly you know having them come to one of our board meet meetings and presenting um and same thing with the lgf um and then as for the PTO I just want to remind everybody that there's multiple fundraising going on with them they have the holiday movie event coming out on December 8th and that's going to be at the Bernardsville Cinema um they're still doing the the fun pasta fundraising and that's that ordering is going to be closing on November 30th and they're also doing something really cool with the upcoming holidays that you can order for people that do holiday cards and stuff you can go to minted um.com and they've uh they've had their own promotional code that you can use called fundraise lill and so you at you as the user can get 20% off but you give back 15% to the PTO so that's something that's really cool and different this year um and that's it uh or our next um Communications um I'm sorry community relations committee meeting will be on December 10th that's it okay any questions for Danielle okay crystal sure um so uh as many of you may know the we are going through cusac this year the CAC committee met on October 9th at 8:15 in attendance were Mr Alexis Robin Bower Lauren Franklin Lorie Jones myself um Elizabeth Michels and Danielle manura um cusac is an acronym for the quality single accountability Continuum which is New Jersey's evaluation system for school districts and during the meeting we discussed the upcoming District's um performance review and involved assessing the district's overall performance against the state benchmarks um it helps to identify our strengths and our struggles um guiding improvements as well as resource allocation U Mr Alexis reviewed the areas um that will be reviewed in the process and um they include instruction and programming which focuses on the quality of instruction and educational programs it emphasizes the need for Effective curricula instructional strategies and student Support Services it has a fiscal component that evaluates the financial management including budgeting funding sources and expenditures um governance assesses the district's leadership and decision-making processes including the role of the Board of Education the alignment of governance practice with State policies and it requires that our governance structures promote like things like accountability transparency and Community engagement um making sure that our decisions reflect the needs of all of our stakeholders the operations section reviews the day-to-day functioning of the district including Facilities Management transportation and safety protocols it evaluates whether our operational practices meet state standards and support the educational environment and then it also has a personnel component which examines our human resources practices including Staffing levels professional development and employee evaluations and looks at the importance of making sure that our Personnel are highly qualified and um ensuring that they are have we have the best people in place for our kids and supporting student achievement so basically it was an overview of what the process is going to look like and um what we can expect moving forward as a team and our next meeting will be held on November 13th at 8:15 am am okay not pm thank you um uh any questions for Crystal okay thank you Ann um student achievement will be meeting uh next week we have to just consult with the committee and get a day day and time that aligns from us we had to reschedule from last week okay I don't think you have questions Tom nothing to report this month okay Justin nothing to report OK DOI Katie hi the uh Community Rel excuse me the buildings and ground committee met on U October 29th at 2m myself M Mr Alexis uh Tom grov Robin Balmer Adel Valentine and Mark merski um were in attendance um so we um went over the library renovation um and that we discussed the uh the visits to the other school it's very early days but um we're hoping to get some inspiration and and plan ahead while while we're going through the uh budgetary process so very early days there but it's an exciting project that uh we hope will um be able to come to fruition over the summer um the uh mini Grant application from the school superintendent Association and Source B helping kids um these are different grants that are to improve School infrastructure structure to improve learning and they're trying to get um flexible seating um for the um Gillette school um but that is kind of a process that's going on um there's on right now there's projects all over the district to um replace screens and clean windows and painting um using Pritchard um and uh let's see the updates are qac health and safety reports have gone through and there um the the ongoing plumbing and Sewer issues at um the middle school and Millington are um hopefully going to be resolved they've replaced the uh the the flushing thing that was causing some of the issues and hopefully that will go through um I said this in our our last uh you know in our meeting that um School dude um implementation has gone very well and we are I think at the beginning of school year there were about 150 cases right now they're in the 20s so um it's really going smoothly um it's been adopted really well by the staff and it's being maintained and it's going well so uh that's going well uh all of our Capital Improvement projects from the summer the steam room has been signed off on the stage curtains the stage lighting the door replacement at Millington the fire panel punch list at Gillette and the stage curtains at at Gillette have all been completed which is really good news um sometimes that takes a lot longer longer it's really nice that we've wrapped it up and it's still it was only October so that was good news um the Food Service update I think you've kind of handled that so I I'll I'll pass that out the rod grants go out to bid on November 15th and uh they close on December 17th and uh they will be awarded hopefully during our January uh reorganization I'll let Robin go into more detail as obviously um and that is it our next meeting is November 26th and it'll be via Google meet um the lill Education Foundation we had our big Gala uh the it's called mask and Brilliance it was on Friday night um we raised $4,000 and um as you all know the Long Hill Education Foundation has two parts we have our after school program called Force but we also raise money for back to school to give back to the schools um last year we donated approximately $225,000 worth of grants to the district so this $4,000 while is not a huge amount it still it gets us well on our way to where we want to be for our donations for this current school year I have to acknowledge Michael lacasta and Yasmin D Giovani are co-chairs of the event and then Erin given Kim Beckerman and Mary Pepe they worked tirelessly um it was an amazing event hopefully more people can come next year it was a great time lots of great prizes our grand Prize winner is sitting right next to me God my wife won it I didn't win it his wife sorry his wife won it I don't want to what you win what was it what she win a Porsche for the weekend right it was very exciting that's why it's clearly I didn't win yes yes it's no it was a it was a it was nothing questionable it was very above board our our M Mistress of Ceremonies Vicki Beloit is like the grandmas of of uh Tricky Tray rules and regulations and she made sure everything was above board it was a really great night and um it was a good success we currently have our griggstown PI sale going on right now um orders will be taken until November 7th

finally our winter session for force is being organized um and there should be more information out in December and uh our next meeting is Monday November 18th at 8:00 pm and it's on Google meet and uh regarding the nursing um in the past uh we we handled having a having any emergencies being handled through the first aid Squad but we had an event happened at during one of our um after school activities and we decided that it made more sense to um to go with um having a nurse available to the district so we are in the process of um finding a nurse for this it's uh an ongoing process and we should have it up and ready for our next um session so it's a slow and steady progress um and that is all okay any questions for Katie congrats to you guys at the Ed Foundation it was a a very nice event and I've been to a couple of them and like never seen so many good prizes like it was hard to pick where you wanted to invest your tickets was unbelievable it was really good I was Kim Beckerman and Mary pppy were like Superstars I mean every single one of them they all did so much work it was really impressive and I just got to go love okay let's move to um superintendent report okay thank you good evening everyone let me begin with our presentation at the njsba conference two weeks ago it went exceptionally well we were very fortunate to have a large group of engaged participants and our team of Kim Karen and Charlene Peterson uh from njsba represented all of you uh with skill and professionalism it was a great day for the Long Hill Board just to add to Daniel report U we've discussed the potential use of the New Jersey school climate Improvement survey uh and you'll see the initials NJ Sai um that is uh the official acronym of the survey tool it's a joint effort between the NJ doe and Ruck University wat young Hills has been using this survey for several years and Warren and Wong are using it this year we're also planning to use it later this year and see it as a way to help with strategic planning and uh to assist with the regionalization study committee's efforts we anticipate placing a resolution on the agenda for the December meeting so the board can approve the use of the survey before we administer it and as Danielle said this will be a voluntary survey uh we're very pleased with the recommen the you know the auditor report of no recommendations for the third consecutive year the business office Robin Adele Dom and Natalia certainly take the lead in this effort and deserve the line share of the credit but it takes a team effort and I want to thank the entire faculty and staff and the administrative leadership team for their efforts and following protocols and managing the school-based budgets our elementary parent teacher conferences are taking this place this week as you all know uh at Central though we have full days of school to create more instructional time this year the district calendar is on the agenda because we revised it slightly uh to clarify and memorialize that the middle school has fulled days of instruction this week we've updated our attendance web page with the October attendance data uh we've lost a little ground on our pursuit of the district goal I want to reinforce the importance uh for our community of having our students in school and engaged in learning on a daily basis we're communicating more actively with families as a way to underscore uh this importance of attendance and families will be receiving standard notification letters about the number of absences incurred when the numbers reach the policy based thresholds we also are working on an I ready resource web page which should be ready this week it's designed to provide relevant resources for families and on that topic our next family engagement webinar is tentatively scheduled for November 21st the topic will be the standards-based report card and the transitions between grades 1 and 2 and 5- six look for a message Mage from Dr Jones soon and as Crystal uh outlined very thoroughly um we had the qac meeting we've also worked hard on the qac self- evaluation um and you'll see that at the end of the board agenda we took the process very seriously and answered each question each section as accurately as possible you'll note a couple of things uh one that the Imp section the instruction and program section has a score of 40 and that is because this the state is supposed to provide us with data for the first 60 points uh but there's been a delay at the state level and the county office told us to leave those indicators blank after the board approves the self- evaluation um each member of the committee will sign the declaration page and we submit the self- evaluation before November 15th we have the upcoming meeting as Crystal mentioned on November 13th uh and our students artwork is currently on display at the long Hill Township Library uh big thank you to Alby and her staff for making room for us thank you also to our art teachers Wendy Cohen and terresa Dunn for coordinating this effort last there are two collection efforts being undertaken by our school Community which is great to see uh both are on the agenda this evening and that's it for me thank you for your attention Okay any questions okay business administrator report thank you very much um I want to let you know that in September the school lunch program served 5,473 meals I thought you were gonna say nuggets that's probably 10,000 nuggets um and in October we served 5,479 meals that so that's a huge increase over last year um that for our esy program that we uh were able to reconcile we did that with wung um I want you let you know that Jerry cologne uh has let me know that if we did not share with Wun we probably would have had to spend an additional $1 13,180 to run that program than that uh you have the budget calendar on the agenda and the one thing I want to point out on the budget calendar is that we have the one meeting in March um on the 17th to present the budget and the adoption what we did this year is we went through and we will have meetings prior to that and we'll releasee the video for the board with the presentation for you to see that way we can talk about any questions answer any questions and we will able to have that meeting so you take a look at that um uh calendar that for the budget that
