As a matter of fairness, you asked to limit your questions to no more than one and your remarks to no longer than three minutes. If you are here representing a group, please identify

meeting to the public. Mr. Dilva, second by Mr. Coplin. We are officially open to the public. Seeing no one coming forth at this time, motion to close the meeting to the public, Mr. Hughes and second by Mr. Kiss Marski. All right, we've had our MA
student representative report this evening. So, let us move on to Dr. Duro, superintendent report. Yes. Um my first report I'm going to ask Miss Rizzo to present data on our um HIV um self assessment. This is something that's mandated on a yearly basis. She's
provided this information in previous years. So uh this is the time when she will be doing it this year. Good evening. Um obviously we do this annually in which each building has the responsibility of self assessing them relative to the department of ed
rubrics. So the process, as I've shared in the past for all of you, is that building based school safety teams, which are comprised of members of the building and in addition to one parent representative, meet to evaluate the building's performance on the rubric
supplied by the department of ed. And the principal and the safety team gather their evidence, which they're responsible for maintaining, should there be any questions relative to their self-scoring. And ultimately I review each building's score and um provide
guidance on any scores in which I want to increase or decrease relative to my um knowledge of their performance and the rubric. So the rubric has core elements and in in the area of HIV
programs, training, other staff instruction, curriculum and instruction on HIV, HIV personnel, school level incident reporting, investigative procedures, and HIV reporting. And each core element
also has indicators in them. You can score as a building zero which means you don't meet the requirement at all. You can have one point which means you partially meet the requirement. Two points means you meet all of the requirements. And three is that you've
exceeded the requirement. And then the rubric explains or guides you on your decision making as to what the definitions actually mean and the product you have to procure. Ultimately the m maximum score that any building
can achieve is 78 and as we all know the school district average is based on each building. Ma high school selfcored a 77 out of 78 which I concur and achieved maximum
scores in the core elements 1 2 4 5 6 7 and eight not giving themselves full scores in area three. Ramipo Ridge Middle School scored itself a 77 out of 78 with maximum scores in 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Joyce Kilmer scored itself a 78 out of 78. Maximum scores in all areas. Betsy Ross has 77 out of 78 with maximum
scores 2, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight in the elements. and George Washington a 77 out of 78 with maximum scores in 2 three four five six seven and eight. Let it be Meadows a 78 out of 78 with
maximum scores in all areas. So ultimately the district average is a 77 out of 78. This score gets reported to the department of ed tomorrow. The Department of Ed has several months in which they review our scores and either
affirm our scores or request us to make amendments. In the history that we've been self assessing, we've never had to change our scores. So, in all core elements, every building scored either meets all requirements or exceeds them.
But last year, I just want to give a little data so we can remember our experience together in executive session. There were a total of 83 investigations done in the district, 26 of which were confirmed cases having met
the criteria of HIV in some identified characteristic. This is longitudinal data that I have relative to the district um going back as far as 2016 2017. Let's not be let's be mindful of
the blip in the screen relative to COVID when you see those really low numbers. No one had cause in which to report HIV once we were in full-on lockdown. But you will see that I I tallied it based on total confirmed over total
investigated. And what you're seeing there is actually consistent with um state and local data relative to particularly middle school age students. So all cases referred to the district were investigated and as
Dr. Toro shared earlier this evening in executive. We are a non-discretion district. So once the term harassment, intimidation or bullying is used or referenced, we immediately open an investigation. All cases were investigated within the
timeline set forth by the law. That was my commitment to the board 13 years ago, 14 years ago when I took on HIV that we would always be code compliant. So our goals for last year were to continue to evaluate and use the safety team data to
identify patterns related to building based HIV cases, use the data to provide learning opportunities for the students to address the identified behavior and provide positive alternative behaviors to improve school cultures. And each of
the safety teams were charged with using that data and formulating some changes or programs or interventions. obviously using our school-based counselors um to their maximum to intervene and to continue to use the safety team data as
part of our NJTSS initiative. So for next school year under consultation of Dr. Duro and Dr. Far, I've developed the goals that we will continue to use the safety team data obviously for our NJTSS as part of our student support data
teams which is different than our academic support teams. Our student support data teams are comprised of teachers but more so our therapeutic interventionists to conduct in district safety team training. And I'm pleased to report that we've already had one
training in district for all administrators and indistrict safety team members and to continue to educate the parents on the definition of HIV and the process. So that's my goal and that's my presentation relative to the
district HIV self assessment. We will be submitting the scores after your board vote. Um I mean after this presentation tomorrow. Are there any questions from the board? Could you on the last to do the uh inform parent or educate parents?
Yes example how that happens? Well, that happens in a variety of ways, but mostly it's the building administrators who take that on relative to back to school night. If you were there this year, we were educating parents on our HIV policy. We send out every Wednesday
information from each building. And we've developed little nuggets to disperse throughout the course of the year to define the difference between HIV and conflict andor the reporting process for families. You want to jump in your
Okay. So, um before I leave the deis tonight, I just wanted to say that tonight on your board agenda is our nursing service plan. So, I'm taking an opportunity to just have you when you hear about the service nur nursing plan,
recognize that this is documentation that we submit relative to the amount of work that our school nurses do. And as I was reviewing it um over the summer and before giving it to Dr. Duro, I just wanted to acknowledge that within the
2425 school year, there were over 20,000 visits to the nurses throughout the district in each building. In addition to that, while they're doing all of that service providing to our students, they provided over 3,500 mandated state
screenings that we have for students, height, weight, blood pressure, scoliosis, monitoring vaccination status of students. So, I just wanted to take a moment to pause and acknowledge our school nurses and the absolute effort that goes forth in their job. They are
the moms away from home and they are a safe zone for our students, but they are also medical experts for our students as well. Okay. Um we'll get to the the celebrations in a minute. Um this is
another report that is uh required by the state. Um, as hopefully you remember, we do this twice a year. It's our student safety data system report. Uh, there's two reporting periods. There's one from January, um, January to June, and then another one from July to
December. So, this is our reporting period one. Um, as you can see, this is the total number of incidences across the spectrum that needs to be reported on um, broken out by schools. I'll give you a minute to take a look at that.
Next slide. The next slide uh talks about the proactive programs and trainings that the school provides. I have a laundry list of programs and trainings, but let me just uh take a couple seconds to spotlight just some of them. Um some of the programs across the district um as
our student rep talked about, we have week of respect, we have responsive classroom in the elementary schools. We have spirit days throughout the district. Uh we have our kindergarten kickstart that we welcome our new uh students. We have team building days throughout. We have character education lessons specifically through our
elementaryaries, but our middle school guidance is going in and talking to different grade levels about their theme for the for the month. We have character education lessons. We have new new student orientation. We have field days. We have random acts of kindness. As you can see, there are some programs, but
there's also some reoccurring opportunities to build a sense of positive school culture. That's on the proactive side. We also have training that goes across the district throughout the year. We have our school safety teams, which um I know that Miss Roso spoke about in the last presentation. We
have opening day trainings for our parents and our teachers specific to HIV. and M. Roso shared this year that we brought um our board attorney in to provide training for our administrators and our anti-bullying specialists. We also have um data team meetings specific
to the students um outside of the instructional frame. Uh we have climate team meetings and we have threat assessment meetings. So those are all different programs that we are providing and trainings to to our district. Okay, this is a new report um that is
mandated by the state anytime that uh there needs to be a restraint that's put onto a student. Uh let me just provide you a little bit of context when you look at a chart like this because I understand it can be jarring. Um, the restraint is done when a student is
posing a risk, a safety risk to him or herself or to others. The restraint is done by a staff member that is trained in safely restraining or controlling the child. Um, this is not something that we take lightly. We we ensure that our
staff across the district is trained in properly executing this strategy. And again, this is done when the student is posing a safety risk to themsself. This is not done if the student is being non-compliant. They're two totally
separate things. Um so this is something that was done at um one of our elementary schools and that that's the frequency in which it took place from 202 July 1, 2024 to June 30th uh 2025.
Any questions? Nope. Okay. All right. Let's get on to our celebrations. Okay. Um I'm very happy to report that um as we shared uh we are committed to
um sharing any and all information with the community and also gathering information from the community specific to our referendum which will uh the vote will happen I believe is March the 10th 2026. This event the state of the facilities took place on September 29th.
It was an opportunity for us to gather insight and feedback from our community members. We had a sampling of parents from the elementary levels, the middle school level, and the high school level. Again, this was an opportunity for us to number one just talk about the process, but more importantly to hear um from the
parents across the district. A lot of the themes that we were able to receive from that night um were very similar to the information we received during our strategic planning meeting, which was encouraging, meaning that it wasn't the same parents that were coming to the strategic plan meeting and state of
facilities. So, it's just another effort for us to hear from the community. Um, pardon me. As I shared with the community, um, this information we're going to gather is going to allow us to, uh, really prioritize what we need to do moving forward, whether it's for the referendum or other projects that we
will use our operation operational budget for. We received another award. The Thunderbird Times receive earns the 2025 NJSP Communications Award um from the New
Jersey School Public Relation Association, which will be announced at their formal award ceremon ceremony tomorrow. Established to support the board of education's goal of strengthening community connections. The newsletter reached reached about 11,000
homes with districtwide and school-based news. This is the district's second NJSP honor following a 2024 award of merit for media relations recognizing student participation in Habitat for Humanity
fundraising. The next issue of our T-Ird Times will be hitting the mailboxes I believe in mid to late November. Um on the Deis in front of you, you will see hot off the press. This is the newest edition
of the school counseling newsletter. Um the one that's up on the screen here is from the high school that was released I think two weeks ago. The one in front of you is for our Ramapo Ridge. Um I just want to uh say thank you to Mr.
O'Hara. He has come in as the new director of guidance or school counseling. Um he's done a great job working with all of the counselors across the district K through 12. um and really understanding what the current reality is with counseling experience,
but also looking at opportunities to continue to build and grow that program. One of which being communicating with our parents and allowing them to understand what's happening in the school. Um having the parents understand who are the counselors within the school. Um and a lot of the work that he
has done throughout I we will have an opportunity he will be coming to instruction curriculum instruction in November to talk about the program as a whole and all the things that he's done thus far. But what I can tell you is I'm extremely encouraged of the work that he's done. This is just one of the
examples of of what he's done to commit to um connecting with the community, connecting with the students, and more importantly making sure that the staff is here to support the students throughout their process. That's all I have.
All right. Thank you, Dr. Durra. Uh Mr. Lamb, do you have a report for us this evening? Uh Dr. Fairfer. Oh, Dr. Dr. Fair. Sorry, I skipped right over apologize. Totally fine. Dr. Fair. So, we've been talking a lot about our internship and extership program. I
think everyone collectively is super proud of our our work and our efforts. So, uh you'll see here and at your places is uh an invitation to all of our board trustees. Uh on October 30th uh will be our student internship extership
capstone presentation uh where students who participated in this past summer's internship and extership programs will share their experiences uh during a capstone opportunity of reflection. The event will highlight the meaningful work students completed with their respective placements and showcase the skills and
insights they gained from their mentors and workplace experiences. So super proud of that. You'll also see um a short checklist at your places as well. Um this checklist was made for uh high school students to provide students with
clarity on how to exactly achieve an uh MA high school career pathway endorsement on their high school transcript. This is the direct response to making the path to earning the endorsement that much more transparent for our kids.
Uh if you haven't been on Instagram, this has been posted several times. Um we're really super proud of our 2526 National Merit Scholars, some semi- finalist and commended students. Um we're proud to celebrate them in rec
being recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program. Several students students earned the distinction of a semi- finalist demonstrating exceptional academic achievement while additional students were recognized as commended scholars for their outstanding performance. These honors reflect the
dedication and talent of our students and the continued commitment of our educators to their academic excellence. Our semi- finalists are Arouche Borer, Misha Bas and Arnold Zang. And our commended scholars are Umeair Kazi, Liam
Fitzgerald, Christopher Haru, Vidya Prasad, Elias Chi, Aksha Singh, and not pictured is Bavisha Shishodia. Thank you. Good job. We also have an upcoming alumni
homecoming event on October 23rd. Uh super excited. uh offering alumni the opportunity to reconnect, network, and strengthen our Thunderbird community. This special event, generously hosted by the MA Schools Foundation at the Thunderbird Think Tank, celebrates our
alumni and fosters ongoing partnerships that benefit both current students and the broader school community. In fact, I believe Mr. Pascal reached out to over 4,000 MA High School graduates. That was recent, right? Recent edition. And um the
Thunderbird Run is uh coming up. Uh the Mawa Schools Foundation is also excited to host its annual Thunderbird Run on October 26 featuring a 5K run, two-mile walk, and kids run. The scenic race route begins and ends at MA High School,
offering a day of community support, connection, and fun for all ages. So, we hope to see the community out there. That's it. Thank you. Great. Thank you, Dr. Farah. My apologies again and you did a very good job with the name pronunciation.
Um, all right. Now, Mr. Lamb, your report this evening. Thank you, Dr. Morgan. Just one update on the agenda. Item 18L was added on the agenda today. It's a transportation agreement with Mercer
County Educational Services Commission to provide transportation to a student who is going out of district in that area. And uh contracting with uh that commission is a would be a savings compared to if we had to contract with a
private company. And then a few items going on in our uh business office and facilities. We advertised a bid for time and materials today for HVAC and refrigeration repair. Uh by uh doing a bid for time and
materials, we're able to do on call with uh preferred contractor if they win the bid uh without having to worry about going over the bid threshold. And with the number of buildings we have in the district uh and the age of our buildings, uh that gives Mr. Romero and
his team a lot more flexibility. uh we're still allowed to use other vendors as well. Uh today we got approval from our auditor for the disposal of records in building five. The next step is for the uh state to approve that and our facilities and
technology teams have done a really good job of working with our administration on cleaning out that building and freeing up a lot of space. Uh we submitted the final expenditure reports for the ESA grants titles one
through four uh for last year today. Uh and we completed the comprehensive maintenance plan. Uh it's basically two Excel files which summarize our maintenance costs and the state wants to make sure that we're not spending too little on maintenance and they want to
make sure we're not spending too much on maintenance. So they have certain calculations that were within those ranges. Uh that would be on the board agenda most likely at the end of October for your approval. Um and that's pretty
much it for the business office. Thank you. Thank you very much. Um all right, my report this evening. Um two things. Uh, one I just um want to take an opportunity uh on behalf of the
board to just welcome back to the deis uh Mr. Gizmarski. Well, you were here last week, but I was not here to welcome you back. So, uh I tried to take a short hiatus, but you know, um we wouldn't allow him to. So, uh we're back. You're
back and it's just it's nice to have you uh seated back with us again, Mr. Karski. Thank you. Um and to have all of us tonight. But that's good to see. Good to see. Um I also just wanted to take an opportunity um to uh just wish that all
of you that your school year has gotten off to a good start. Um I wasn't here last week to or last meeting to do that. I also wanted to take a moment. And I think it's a good opportunity for parents uh to also have a conversation
with students um regarding certain things. we have uh certain you know sayings we have see something say something we have there's opportunities um also to have conversations I think now about um online postings and what
are posted and messages that are shared and so on because these are things um that are important as well and we do take statements that are made seriously as a district and we want to make sure that um students when you do make
postings, whether it's text, whether it's online, whatever. Um, you know, be thoughtful, intentional, and um, responsible in what you're posting. So, might just be a good opportunity to talk to students about that as well. Um, we
hope that you've made some new friends and you've learned something new, you've tried a new sport or club. Uh, and we wish you all the best. So, anyway, that's all I have. Um, board of committee reports this evening.
Mr. Copelan, community relations. Yeah, just a couple things from community relations. I um want to echo what Dr. Tetro said earlier about the facilities meeting. I want to thank everyone for coming out. Uh the parents that were there were very engaging. It was great. Um also want to thank our admin team for coming out in force. Um
it just shows the importance of of what we're doing and the uh priority that this board and this admin team has put on the upkeep of our facilities. Uh it should be pretty obvious from the decisions that we make and um the projects that we approve whether you know from a fiscal uh standpoint. Um
this board and this admin team has always put a a significant priority on making sure that the spaces that our students and staff um are going into every day are are wellkept or modern and
um you know over the next couple months we'll be talking a lot more about that. Um, so keep your eyes out, eyes and ears open for that. Um, also want to remind the board, uh, next Wednesday night, Dia lighting. Did I say it right? The the second annual Dia Lighting and Mama is taking place. It's at, uh, 5:30 in front
of town hall. We were all invited. Uh, so hopefully we all can get out there and support this awesome event. Um, community relations is meeting Friday, and I'll have a more thorough report uh, after that meeting, but looking forward to that. So, thank you. Thank you very much.
Mr. Gallum, just very quick. Um, this is Tom's last meeting with us uh today and I just wish him well and I'm sure we all wish him well in his new assignment and appreciate working with you for the past year.
Best wishes, Tom. John, anything? Yep. Okay. Uh, board member remarks. Mr. Dilva, I feel you're going to the microphone. Trying this one.
Um, yes. So, I just want to bounce back to um, excuse me, Dr. Duro's uh, report and acknowledge the uh, the strides that we made in communications over the past several years. We have, you know, to to win a communications
award for the team times. Wow. Is awesome. you know, the the progress we've made there. Um, but the counseling newsletter, the pathway checklist, and the the strides that we've made in the school counseling department, I'm
thrilled to see. I I it's it's, you know, it's only been a couple of months and and to see the the progress we made there. Um, stuff that we've been talking about for a long time. It's great to see, you know, some new stuff actually start. So,
want to know both of those. Thank you. Would you like to give yourselves uh Mr. Coin? Yeah, I want to piggyback on on what Rick just mentioned and just share a quick story. My son's a freshman and um I think it was last week we got a email
from his vice principal. The vice principal is meeting with each freshman um over the next I guess it's going to take a while. But this is something and I'm bringing this up tonight because uh in instruction curriculum also outside of the committee we've spoken about these meetings and what does that look
like and whether or not we could expand the junior meetings that occur in the spring to all fall classes. And um I'm I was very happy to see that and when Andrew got came home he actually told us about it which was blew my mind that he actually told us something that happened
at school. Um, but the email came, you know, from the the assistant principal. Uh, the guidance counselor was, uh, copied, but also my son was copied on the email, which I thought was a really nice touch. Um, and just reviewed what we what they spoke about, uh, what
Andrew's goals are for the four years, things along those lines. So, I just want to, uh, thank Mr. O'Hara and and everyone in the admin team at the high school for expanding that that touch point, I guess, for lack of a better term. uh because I I because we have as
a board we've we've spoken about this a lot. So it was really nice to see that and and see it firsthand. So and and who so who the meeting was with Mr. McCabe with Mr. McCab they split the No, no, Mr. McCabe's going to meet with everyone. Mr. O'Hara was attached to it. Mr. McCabe's running meetings with every
Mr. McCabe is the assistant principal for the class of 29. Oh, for the Okay, that I was trying to clarify if they take different classes or they split the class the two assistant principles. Okay. So Mr. M. That's wonderful. Excellent to hear. Very nice to see. So, thank you. Yeah. Excellent.
Miss Jansen. Oh, I I just wanted to also add on to Rick's comment that the school communication, the individual school newsletters, I think they've expanded immensely and having three kids in three schools last year and now I'm down to two. It's still a lot of information for
me, but it I I know where to look and find it and each and I see the other newsletters coming even where my kids don't go. It's immensely helpful when you're just trying to find that one thing and then you have some time read the whole thing, but there's some really good reminders in there that, you know,
we do need to talk to the kids to your point, right? Social media, have a conversation, check in with them, and just ask what's going on. Tell me what's going on. So, I make a point when I do the park with multiple kids, ask them all the same thing. They can't escape the car is the best
time. I I think it's great. So, it's a good reminder, Mr. gall and and I'm going to build on it. Oh, so there's a phrase that uh Dr. Ntori uses um often times when we highlight a
point of pride and he and he doesn't say oh I'm really happy with that or we're we're done. It's always I'm encouraged meaning that there's more growth to come. And when we talk and the things that Rick talked about, Brad and Janine talked about, these are all things we
are constantly building on things that we have invested in and put focus and energy into and we're constantly building them out and expanding their power and leverage to benefit our students. And I think that's sort of a theme in the things that we just talked
about. And um and you know, it's like when I hear I always get disappointed when he says I'm encouraged. No, but it's really the it's the correct word. It says we have we have another place to live. There's all Mike Mike is never a Oh,
we're done. I'm encouraged group by your comment, Mr. Thank you in our search for I am done. Um, all right. Thank you all for your
comments and yeah, I mean, look, excellent stuff and and good to see um the newsletter. I mean, so many and and I'm we're glad to hear that this school year has gotten off to a good start. So, all right, let's um move to old
