The other two terms in that next paragraph uh are important not only in this program but in the funding formula. So I'm going to just go over that really quick. What makes us eligible as a district for this particular program? So if you go down to that second paragraph, it
says you have to meet these two criteria to be eligible. One is you have to be taxing below what the state calls local fair share. So we're going to get into that. We are taxing below local fair share. Um and uh and that is one
category that makes us eligible. The second is we have to be have we have to have a budget that's spending what the state calls below adequacy. So those are the two items that you need to to be el you need to to be um under in order to
be eligible for this. Mullica Township is under both of those and that's why we're eligible for the program. So let's get into a little bit of the detail of that. Next page just gave a little little summary of federal and efficient education. So this was actually born from the state constitution. State
constitution says every child in New Jersey is um it's required for the schools to give them a thorough and efficient education. This is born in statute and it's been uh it's been tried in a couple main cases which you may have heard. I just put
them on there. Robinson versus Cahill and also Ab versus Burke. There were cases where people said, "Hey, wait a minute. The funding formula in New Jersey, that's not providing a fair and efficient education." And in the most famous one in the Abbott case, all the
AV districts were born from that because uh the Supreme Court said, "Yeah, you're right. The funding formula is skewed and the people in the the students in the poorest districts aren't getting a thorough and efficient education." They changed the funding formula up and uh that's how you know this works. So
everything that we're going to speak of kind of flows from through and efficient education. So go to the next page. This kind of gets to the nuts and bolts of the funding formula. The state comes up with what they call an adequacy budget. Every single district in the
state has an adequacy budget. It's really a hypothetical budget because it's not the budget that you approve, but it's the budget that the state says in order we think given your population, you need to spend x number
of dollars on your children to give them a thorough and efficient education. And we're going to call that the adequacy budget. And so there's a formula that goes along with that. in general in the pictures there state it's students times dollars per student equals your total
adequacy budget and what drives that there are certain factors a little more complicated formula but in general grade level drives it so an elementary student is worth one middle school students worth like 1.26 26 because it costs a little bit more to educate a middle
school student, lab materials, things like that. If you just thinking in broad terms, a high school student has a coefficient that's even greater than that. So they say, okay, how about low income, we're going to give you a little bit more money for that. LEP students,
and all of that combined gives you your adequacy budget. All right, so the state comes up with this number. Flip the page. Then they say, "Okay, well that's the hypothetical number. What do we think the district should be responsible for
versus what the state should be responsible for?" And they've come up with a term called local fair share. And what that is in general is this is a number that we the state believe each district because each district has a
different local fair share. we believe your district should be taxing or committing local funds of x number of dollars. And this is a little bit more complicated formula, but basically the state looks at real estate
values, district wealth, meaning income of the the citizens, and they put that in a little, you know, their own formula, and they come up with a local fair share. Again, more hypothetical at this point than anything because this is none of
this is what we're approving. This is kind of what the state is just telling us what they think we should be doing. So then there's equalization aid. Now what equalization aid is, it's the it's the difference between this overall adequacy
budget that the state came up with and the local fair share. So in my example here, just go down to the bottom. Hypothetically, if the state said you have an adequacy budget of $5 million and your local fair share is 2
million, then we would be giving equalization of three million. Very general terms, but that's the way it's supposed to work. The reason I put at the top is this the solution or the problem is that and if I'm not going to read the the narrative
here but I'd like this is information for you to have and there's a little more detail on this. What they actually do is they come up with the adequacy budget and then they do the formula on the equalization
aid and then they say you meaning the districts your taxpayer should be paying $2 million. That's not a mandate. That's a suggestion. So, if
districts through, you know, well, I'll go back through the 2% tax levy cap, if we weren't, let's say we weren't up the local fair share a number of years ago, which is really what's kind of occurred here, and you were only allowed to increase the taxes by 2%, 2%, and then
maybe one year you kept it stable at zero, what happens is you fall further and further behind that local fair share, And then the state looks, you know, the state all of a sudden is in a situation like this where they say, you know what, there's a lot of districts
that are below local fair share and below adequacy, and we're going to develop a program to help you get there if you want. And so if you flip the page, then you have
to decide well the board, the administration of the school then has to decide should we go after a program like this. You know, the balance of what does the school need and can the community pay for this? And
that's the balance that we're always trying to strike in all honesty. And so here are the things and these are bullets that you know these are the things that we've reduced that are considered non-T but I would some of
these are T& but so in the upper section there there are reductions and in the bottom section we look at which I think is most important what's going on on the horizon and those first three bullet points are
very telling in each and every budget that we look at. If we were just to increase tax levy by 2%. That's about $106,000. Salary increases alone without buying any new programs or anything are around 200,000. Healthc care increases
are around 150,000. So right there, the simplest of math problems, we've got an issue. And so when you're in a situation and you're in a district or you're in the administration, you're at the board and
you look at this and you look at the horizon and you see a potential problem, that's where we say, "Okay, I I think we need to to go after, you know, this this program. We need to at least give it a good look." And that's the
situation we were in. That's why we're looking at that. So, next page. The next page is actually the summary form that we submitted to the DOE. There's there's a
couple places I'd like you to look at. If you look at A1 and A2, this goes back to that local fair share. So, according to the state, if you look at the A2 number, 7 3 million.
That's what the state deems to be our local fair share. In fact, last year our local fair share was 4.9 million. So again, we can debate whether that state formula is good or not. That's a whole
another debate, right? And we'd be debating the state at that point. But we are that far below our local fair share is that first category of eligibility. If you look at B1 and B2, look at look at the the comparison of
the accuracy budget. The state says our accuracy budget should be 11.7 million. Our adequacy budget in this spreadsheet is 9.4 million. So the state gave us the ability to
actually raise the local levy by $2.3 million because we are that far below what they would consider an adequate budget to provide a thorough and efficient education. Is that kind of making sense of
my needs too much? Nobody said no. So, so we had the ability to go over $2.3 million for through dialogue and administration and discussion. Um, we
ended up deciding that and through looking at time horizon that $750,000 was the number that made sense to to help the horizon and to bring us up to a fairly efficient education. And
that is the application we submitted and that's what you'll see in the resolution. The next page I'm not going to go over in detail but the um this is the detail that we need to submit that
shows what we're proposing those budget changes to be. So these budget changes you can see on the expense side and they equal $750,000 and these are proposed um just
like any budget they are proposed uses. So the last two pages relate directly to tax and so what does this mean for the uh the mic tax? And so the next page shows you um that that very
first line, the 2425 local tax was 4.97 million. Um and these are the various adjustments um and increases that were approved. Those next three lines, they were already approved in the budget. Um and
that very last line, additional expenditure application, is what we just talked about. So that would be the additional tax caps added to the budget tonight at this point. Just quickly explain why 750.
Yeah. Good. So if you flipped one p two pages back, you don't need to do that. But their application is for 750,000. But the state actually should I be sarcastic in their kindness?
um they are giving an incentive of 5%. So 5% of the $750,000 comes in the form of state aid. We get additional state aid for that. So the tax portion of the 750 is
714286. Okay. last page of this very short presentation is I just thought you know I always try to look at and I and I know that you may think about this as well. I try to look at well what well then why
are we so far below global fair share you know why we need it Adams there's a lot of answers to that but one of the things that I found in looking at history if you look at this almost 10year history here the average tax
increase over that 10-year period is and I say only with a caveat not that I'm saying it's only and you should be happy about that I'm saying only in relation to how much expenses go up, the tax increase on average is
2.89%. So, however, when we talk about the fact that salaries are going up north of 3%, healthc care is going up anywhere from 10 to 20% every year, the second largest line item budget. Um, transportation
goes up 5 to 7% a year. So, these costs go up by greater than your tax levy. And the one the one point here that kind of highlights this state aid is either flat or
sometimes declining. And so those numbers just don't work. And at some point you want to fund the school and and fund a healthy, thorough and efficient education. Um moves like this need to occur. So open it up for we'll open it up.
Yeah. Official. So uh at this time the meeting will now be open to the public for comments about the budget hearing. If your comments pertain to students personnel litigation or negotiations we would ask that you see the superintendent after the meeting since the board does not discuss those items in conflict. Would anyone like to
make a statement? Amy Gate, 5143 Venice. Um I was surprised that there wasn't board discussion first. That's I was interested to hear where you all were at first. Um that's why I was asking. Um I come to you. Um, all due respect to
everybody up here. I've sat in your shoes. I've sat at the municipal level. I sit at the county level. I understand the budget process, the challenges, understand it all. Applaud a beautiful presentation first of all. Um, very
nicely and thoroughly explains it at a very digestible level. So really, really appreciate that. Thank you. Um, I do not come with any of my elected official hats on tonight. I come to you
as a single childless taxpayer with neighbors to my right who are my age childless and three houses to my left of childless senior
citizens. Thinking about all of those people right on my street. We have three children only on my entire street. This amount of of tax increase is I think significant. Um and so I know you
all have a very very tough decision to make. Um I think some of the things on the list that you're going to spend it on are admirable. Um the the couple items on the top that directly have to do with delivery of education. Um, you know, do I think some of the technology
things on the bottom potentially could be adjusted? I think it's something to think about. Um, but when I think about the tax increase that you already had, the 2% cap was put in place for a reason, a number to keep
taxes as controllable as possible, right? I I think it's absolutely ridiculous that the governor has allowed this exception and called it an incentive which is
mind-blowing as well. Um and absolutely agree that the state funding formula needs serious help. Absolutely. Um but the 2% cap was put in place for a reason to control taxes and expenses and and yes, you have to get creative when you
have to think about how do we do that? How do we stay within those confines? Um, not only does this go up this year, but now that's the base for our 2% cap every year going forward. Correct.
Right. So, um, again, I I know where you are. This is not an easy decision to make and I know you've probably had discussions highs and lows and everything. Uh again, all due respect to
all of you coming as a single childless taxpayer, I think this is too high. Thank you. [Applause] Thank you for your comments. Anyone else have to comment?
Uh Christy Hanselman, I too am an elected official and I am not here in that capacity tonight. I am here as someone who has sat in your shoes, who sits on the board of a university, who has to deal with budgets all the time. I completely agree with Amy. Your
presentation, amazing. Um, I think that it was very admirable how transparent you're being. I just think that the board needs to reconsider needs, wants, and wishes, right, in regards to your curriculum, 237,000.
How much of that is going to administration? How much of that is going to actual programs for our teachers? How much is actually going to the kids? Right? Your speech services, is that a mandatory program? Is that an optional program? Furniture. Well, yes,
it's wonderful to to have better furniture. That's a want. That's a wish. That's not a need. All of the chairs and desks are completely usable. I think that if you guys really take a look, you can get this down to a much more manageable number. And I understand that
your budget gets harder and harder. Right now, I'm fighting a $25 million deficit at the university that I sit on, board of trustees, right? And I'm not here in that capacity. So, I get it. You know, budgets are hard, but you need to take a look internally of what else you
can do to minimize your budget so you don't have to increase it. So, great. you have two principles, you know, you're very administrativeheavy. You need to look at those things to bring down your budget long term because just
keep asking for more money and increasing your taxes isn't a way to balance your budget. You need to fundamentally change the way you do things. So, I too would ask that you bring this $750,000 down to a much more reasonable number. I get it. You guys are able to
ask for this money. Some would say you would be a fool not to, but you have to keep in mind who you're taxing. This is an additional $390,000 on people's taxes for the average home in Mica. If you go down to simply
500,000, that's only $270. You know, that's a big difference to people. So, the further you can get down, I think not only it would be appreciated, but would it would actually be admired. So, if you guys can really take a look at this and see where the
money's going and how you can change things to get this more manageable, it would be greatly appreciated. Would anyone else like to make comments? Any other comments? Can I get a motion and a second for the Wallet Township Board of Education upon recommendation of the business
administrator approve item 5B? Second, any discussion? As I said before, I think the model is broken and we're put in a terrible position. students versus taxpayers and it's not a good
position consolidation. I also agree that the formula is broken and I wish it were different but I think we are living in a reality and we have to do what we can to keep the school in as best condition as possible. And that's why I'm personally for the 750
because I think that and you and I have talked about this thoroughly. I know and I respect yours as well. Yeah. Personally, I think that the most important thing for me is balancing, you know, the taxpayers and the students.
And I'd like to see the kids of the future have the same quality of education that my daughter has had in her time here. and 750,000. I'm afraid that that's not possible in the future. The only thing that I'd like to say that I've been here since I was a very small
child and grown up here is that uh I too Yeah, I am sorry. Um I too agree with everything that everybody said here in this room tonight. The one thing that I think that might be a wonderful movement that would really help and and make us able to
become whole is to get that formula changed. Because unless you get that formula changed, unless all of us here wind up in Trenton or do something, I don't know where that answer is, but the answer becomes unless we take it to where that change can happen. We all
have great thoughts here and every person on this board I know because I sit with them has struggled to make any decision like this and and and absolutely to your point the next thing that winds up being cut will be programs because we we thoroughly went line by line. I totally agree with that and I
and all the accuracy and I thank you for your presentation as well. But I think the real grassroots needs to take that knowledge, that wisdom, that that need to the people who can make the change. And that's not right at this board or in this community because it's all
community suffering. We didn't have to lift 60 teachers though or 10 because we did some other things that really weren't popular when I was doing them that be done. But you got to take that fight to the Trenton level and be on to get it done so that that formula gets
changed. we've been doing. In 1995, we did what was called the Quality Education Act, which was the Abbott versus Burke, which must make the Abbott districts that we used to call them the dirty 30. Disrespect. I didn't make up
that phrase. But those wait and we said what they did in that move was take the top, the bottom, and create mediocre in funding. We still have the same problem in funding until somebody changes that formula to something that works. Every
community and Mullica especially will fight this fight, but we can't fight it alone. The place to make that change is above our levels. So, we've got to go there and make that change. So, anybody wants to hire that bus, I could get a
license and drive it. That's where we've got to make that formula change. It is one of the few things that can help all of us and this is our heart. All it is is our heart. I don't need to interrupt board discussion. I'm sorry. No, you said
consolidation. By the way, I'll be on the bus with you. Okay. Mr. You said consolidation of what? Sorry, I just didn't understand. And to the point, if I could one more time that also goes back to the tax law
structures because in order to finalize that consolidation, you have to change the tax laws and how if I'm going to consolidate, it still goes to a vote. Yeah. and and all of this the smaller districts may dry up, but unless the voters vote to either accept more debt
from some other community or or they're a community with less debt, it doesn't work unless they change how people are taxed. I mean communities, not individuals. Model is broken. But that's right, the model to your point, the model is broken, but the way to fix it,
we got to work on that with that bus. Thank you. Any other board discussion? Can I get a roll call then? Curts. Yes. M. No. Mr. R. Yes. Mr.
Stalinley. No. M. Warner. Yes. Mr. W. Yes. M. Wild. Yes. And Miss Brown? No. Yes. Motion passes. At this time, can I get a motion and a second to approve the following minutes?

minutes. [Music] Oh, it was Cathol. You can just say motion. Can I get a All in favor? Any opposed? So this is Oh yeah.
You can but if you want to fine. Okay. Any names? Are we good? Okay. All right. Uh, I apparently missed the public comment, so I'm going to go back to that. I apologize. Um, so
the meeting is now open to the public for comments on agenda items only. If your comments pertain to students, personnel, litigation, or negotiations, we would ask that you see the superintendent after the meeting since the board does not generally discuss such items in public. Uh, anyone want to
make a comment on agenda item? Uh number eight is new business or do we have any old business? Old business. No, just jumping around today. Disclosures. It's done. I worked in the list right before I came down. Everybody's approved. So, we're in
good shape. And poor training. I just leave them there. Yes. We're waiting on right now. We have weekly updates. As a matter of fact, tomorrow we have a a weekly Zoom update contractor, right? And the only
thing that we're waiting on now is delivery. There was no need to determine that unlike previous project there's no need to do any demolition during the school year but the delivery date will determine
how yeah how close to the school year or if we need to make some moves very fingers crossed sorry's not investigation Oh yes, we'll do that
together. I thought we want to thank the recreation association rain maker. What are they called? Rainaker rain maker irrigation and David I only know
him as David Weiss David Weiss for the hard work that they all did to bring back field back into play and uh it was a team effort and uh we all met their one everybody worked together we got
everything done and I think we have pictures we're going to put on the website and do another thank you for but we want to get public recognition to thank them for their volunteer services and all of the donation work and everything that was done to bring the field back up. Great

County Council of Education Association and Mullica Township Education Association regarding a one-year trial leave of absence for the ACCEA president who is an MTEA employee. And whereas the result of the alleged
various conflicts of interest, a quorum of the board would be prohibited under the school ethics act to consider or otherwise vote on the contract between ACEA, ACCEA and MTA and subsequent leave of absence for the
ACC EA president and whereas the following conflicts of interest could be alleged. Mr. Winterbottom. Melissa Winterbottom wife is employed as a teacher in the Mullica Township School District, is a member of the MTA and is a teacher in Atlanta County and
therefore a member of the ACCEA. Mr. Winter Winterbottom is a teacher in Atlantic County and therefore a member of the ACCEA. Mrs. Brownhill. Mrs. Brownhill is a teacher in Atlantic County and therefore a member of the ACCEA.
James Brown Hill husband is a teacher in Atlantic County and also a member of the ACCEA. Mrs. Mayon, Bridget Walter's sister-in-law, is employed as a secretary in the Mullica Township School District and is a member of the mtea and her sister-in-law Elizabeth Hessie is
employed as a paraprofessional in the Mullica Township School District and is a member of the Mtea. Also, Mrs. Mayon is a teacher in Kate May County and as such this negotiations could impact her local education association and the county
association. Mrs. Jacobo Mrs. Jacobo is a teacher in Atlanta County and therefore a member of the ACCEA. Mrs. Curts Mrs. Curts is a teacher in Atlantic County and therefore a member of the ACCEA. Whereas with a quorum of the board
prevented from voting on the contract between the board and the ACCEA and mtea and the LOA for the ACCEA president, the board would not be able to take formal action thereon. And
whereas the school ethics commission beginning with the advisory opinion A03-98 and continuing with its resolution of February 25th, 2003, advises school boards facing similar circumstances to invoke the doctrine of
necessity so as to allow formal action to be taken by the board any conflicts of interest notwithstanding. And whereas the board determines in this instance that it is appropriate to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to allow the board as a whole to review and take formal action as appropriate on the
contract with the ACCEA and Ntea and the LOA for the ACCEA board president. Now therefore, be it resolved by the board of education of the township of Mullica, the county of Atlantic, and state of New Jersey, that in light of
the alleged appearance of conflicts of interest recited herein, the board invokes the doctrine of necessity in accordance with the guidance provided by the school ethics commission so as to allow all board members to review and consider the proposed contract with the
ACCEA and mtea and the LOA for the ACCEA board President, this resolution shall be read at a scheduled public meeting of the board and shall be posted by the board secretary in a location where other public notices are posted for a period of no less than 30 days. A
certified copy of this resolution shall be filed by the board secretary with the commission forth. We have further resolved by the board of education of the township of Mullica, county of Atlantic, and state of New Jersey that the board secretary shall provide certified copies of the resolution to
the duly recognized representative of the MTA. That's a lot. Uh, can we get a roll call? Mr. before we go. Okay. Sorry. Roll call, Mr.
The point of the doctrine of necessity is to say everybody has a conflict so you can vote and this is voting to agree to the doctrine of necessity. It's not to vote for the other piece. So, Mr. Yes. Yes. Miss Curts. Yes. Miss
Mayo. Yes. Mr. Roner. Yes. Mr. Stalmore. Yes. Miss Warner. Yes. Mr. Bottom. Yes. Miss Wild. Yes. And Miss Brown. Yes. discussion. Okay. Can I get a motion and a second for the Mulliga Township Board
of Education upon recommendation of the superintendent approve item 14B? Motion. Second. Okay. Discussion. Now you can a little Okay. Just a little bit of background. This leave of absence is a year-long leave of absence. It's a paid leave of absence.
However, all of that is reimbursed uh to the district. Uh it also does not impact negatively the instructional program for us. We would be able in a long-term position to be able to offer long-term substitute position in this area. It also gives Mullica a designation of
working uh in the community and and with the teaching profession uh to allow this to occur and for the benefit of all the students that would benefit from that process. It is uh again uh also it uh it will do breakage to offer additional
revenue into the district as well. Thank you. Any other discussions? Okay. Can I get a roll call then? Mr. Cobbo. Miss Curts. Yes.
Miss Mayome, yes. Mr. Roner, yes. Mr. Stalmore, yes. Miss Warner, yes. Winterbottom. Yes. Miss Wild, yes. Miss Brownley, yes. Motion passes. Uh, at this time, the meeting will now
be open to the public for comments. Uh, if your comments pertain to students, personnel, litigation, or negotiations, we would ask a senior superintendent uh after the meeting. Any comments? Okay. Our next board meeting is
scheduled for May 28, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. for executive and 700 p.m. for public. I do have a PTA update. Uh, Malikica PTA has its wellness batch event this Friday night from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. They are excited to bring a
fun and informative event to our community and they hope to see everyone there. They are providing dinner and snacks and there will be raffles and prizes for kids. Next week, PTA will sponsor a week of treats for staff at Mullica, including lunch on Wednesday, as well as snacks for kids doing state
testing. The spring book fair started today, which is why we're in the cafeteria, and will run until next Tuesday. Teachers and staff are reminded to fill out the PTA's teacher request fund form with ideas for ways to support a school program, class, or club next
year by May 23rd. The final PTA meeting of the year is on June 2nd where we will discuss the proposals and all of the end ofear activities. Uh, do we have any MTEF update? No. Okay. Thank you.
Um, uh, we do need another executive session. So, can I get a motion and a second for us for the Malaga Township Board of Education to hold? Okay. Okay. Yeah. No action. Okay. No action will be
