5
00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:33.439
America stands nation. All right. Um, has any uh correspondence has any board member received schoolboard related emails and/or correspondence that have not yet been

6
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:56.646
shared with the superintendent? Okay, I just need to make this bigger because I can't see. All right, we will start off um number uh 2.01 with the business administrators report. Miss Williams. [clears throat]

7
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:14.480
>> So, just really briefly, um, in my report contains a reminder about recent, um Oprah um legislation reminding school board members to, um, not use personal email addresses to conduct school business.

8
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:30.160
So, please review those two links. Um, thank you all for um, signing into community, our new agenda platform. If you have any questions, please let me know. Hopefully, you found it um, an easy transition. On the agenda this

9
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:46.239
evening are the entitlement grants for 2627. Um, the ESSA grant, Perkins, and IDA. During budget season, we were um, advised to budget 75% of our 2526 allocations. Um that turned out to be true for most case with the exception of

10
00:02:46.239 --> 00:03:02.239
IDA. We got about $107,000 more than we anticipated than what we budgeted and we use that for tuition for out of district placements. So that is very very beneficial. Um Mr. Vickers um is very busy as you

11
00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:17.360
can see as we walked here. Um the facilities is um are on their way transitioning to open up for September. So there's a September 14th um campus tour. So, we hope that you guys can join us to see all the work that our um custodian and maintenance staff did this

12
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:32.640
summer um to get the school ready for September. And then just lastly, a quick reminder about the 2026 workshop in Atlantic City. If you'd like to attend, please let me know by September 1st. And that's concludes my report.

13
00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:48.319
>> Thank you, Miss Williams. >> And next, we have the superintendence report 2.02. So, just one followup uh to Miss Williams, the the facility tour on September 14th will also include the auditorium as well. We'll we'll be going

14
00:03:48.319 --> 00:04:05.519
in there. So, maybe not wear your best shoes because it may be a little dirty even though they promised they were going to sweep up. >> So, uh earlier in July, I attended the summer MSA meeting with uh with Michael Figs. Misa stands for the Military Impacted Student Association.

15
00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:20.720
This is an annual conference that is always hosted um with a one of the member districts in uh connection with a military base from around the country. Uh this past summer or this past July was held in South Dakota. We attended

16
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:36.000
the Douglas and was hosted by the Douglas School District. Um and we attended the Ellsworth Air Force Base which is home to the B1 bomber and soon to the B2 bomber. In addition to the MISA meetings, um the host district uh

17
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:52.320
spent considerable amount of time sharing their programs and how they best support the military students. Douglas School District is is predicting a 50% increase in student population um to the to the additional military personnel that will be needed to support

18
00:04:52.320 --> 00:05:09.759
the B2 bombers. So when we talk about like our fluctuation in in school uh population, it it's certainly uh that's an unfunded mandate that obviously they just have to to deal with. So certainly it was a great learning experience, learning opportunity and a great conference. Um and certainly always uh I

19
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:26.639
always like the opportunity to speak with some of my colleagues around the country to learn about the strategies they use when supporting the military students and their families. We have begun uh the conversation about possibly host hosting the summer Misa meeting uh in se in July of 2029. So

20
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:42.479
more to come on that. >> Um some of you have heard me talk about this in in various committee meetings. Uh during our recent summer administrative meeting, I'd led a discussion with our administrative team about the needing to think about diff think differently about how we educate

21
00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:57.039
our students. public public education is currently in a crossroads. In New Jersey, we have the New Jersey student learning standards. We have state statutes and even a number of things that colleges expect our students to have for the for entrance

22
00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:13.919
into their universities. Um, all of this is uh not necessarily in alignment with what the students need for the job force uh in the workforce once they get out of either high school or college and let alone the advancing technologies. Our Northern Burlington 2030 plan is

23
00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:29.120
designed to address some of the skills that the students will need when they graduate. Over time, we will also be talking about taking a look at our classes to see what we offer to see if we need to make any changes, maybe implementing some new classes, maybe remove some current classes, ultimately

24
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:44.800
to best prepare our students for life after high school. This will be an ongoing discussion um and as appropriate we will share updates with the various committees as we get ready to implement the the new parameters uh to remove internet enabled

25
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:59.680
devices from the school day essentially our new cell phone policy I wanted to go over give you a few updates uh that we've been talking about as identified by the state internet enabled devices include cell phones smartwatches and metagasses or any similar device that's

26
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:14.160
to come for the to be able to record uh something as you're watching it through communications with the state. This also includes wireless headphones. Therefore, it will be our recommendation for students to use wired headphones when using their Chromebooks and they need

27
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:31.280
audio uh for that. Regulation uh 5516 which is for the um internet enabled devices uh which is on this evening's agenda also identifies the consequences that students who use their phones during the school day will receive in

28
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:47.199
the high school. You will see a more significant consequence for the first offense in comparison to the middle school. This is because the high school will be using the pouches to store their phones. And if a student uses their phone in the high school, this means they either brought a second phone or opened up the pouch to rem and remove

29
00:07:47.199 --> 00:08:02.800
their own phone. The consequence for the first offense at the high school is five lunch attentions in comparison to the middle school which is one lunch attention. All con all regardless of the consequence, we will be in in constant communication with the families to be able to make sure they're up to date

30
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:18.080
about what's happening in the schools. Both the updated attendance procedure and the updated internet enabled device procedures are intended to have students in school more frequently and when they're here to have them more attentive while in class. I recognize that that

31
00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:36.159
these updates will bring significant change. I do believe that we will see many benefits in the coming weeks and months. We will continue to provide updates to the families and to the board as we begin uh during the beginning of the 202627 school year. Any questions?

32
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:52.160
>> I have one. >> Yeah. >> So, a couple of weeks ago, I had heard about this book, The Digital Delusion. Have >> you heard about that at all? >> I have not. >> So, guys, Dr. Jared Horvath, >> and u apparently he's trying to do a

33
00:08:52.160 --> 00:09:08.399
a more in-depth thing about getting rid of, you know, about getting rid of screens and whatnot. And, you know, going back to analog, you know, paper and pencil. Yep. >> Um I just didn't know if that should be like maybe an assigned reading thing

34
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:24.000
that maybe uh I I plan on reading it just to you know get some background on it. But >> digital delusion you said? >> Yeah, the digital delusion and it's uh Jared Cornney >> Jared Harney Harvath. Yeah, >> I just found it. >> Yeah, I will.

35
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:39.519
>> It's on my reading list. I just haven't gotten to it yet. >> Yeah, I will add it to mine as well. >> And um I know I listen to this other guy. I don't like his politics, but uh Michael Smirkish and he had interviewed him. I know if you go to Smurkish's

36
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:56.720
YouTube channel, >> the whole interview would be out there and um you know, I could give you the Cliff's Notes version of it and if you don't want to go and read the whole book. >> I And look, there is growing research and we know what it's done socially. I

37
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:12.000
there are certainly many benefits to it uh to to the phones and so on. It's trying to find that proper balance. >> Oh, I get it. >> Yeah. >> So, again, I think it we, as we mentioned in personnel committee, we have our uh we meet with the support

38
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:28.720
staff. Uh we just met with them a couple weeks ago. Uh we talked to them about the the both both updates because they will be getting um a lot of the communication from the families in the main offices. So, we wanted to make sure they're up to date. They have frequently asked questions to be able to make themselves knowledgeable. Um and

39
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:44.240
certainly we're all here to support whatever is needed. >> Yeah. I I just want to underscore the um importance, as you mentioned, of continuing to provide updates to families um as our tra our school transitions to a no cell phone policy

40
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:59.920
this past year. Some of the most powerful testimony was given by students and staff, you know, just, you know, to keep that in the forefront. Um because I think, you know, they're the most affected by it. Um and then I was just curious is the FAQ is that a live

41
00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:15.920
document that you know we are going to keep updated on the district website. >> Sorry it is. It's actually in one of the paw prints on the main page of our website is the frequently asked questions and we really got those one. We asked um parents to fill out a a

42
00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:32.720
survey with any questions they had. Also any parents that I spoke to I wrote down the questions and we developed the FAQs from there. >> Good. I'm just glad that we're we're continuing to that commitment to kind of like build that out. I think it's a great resource. >> I I think along the lines of what both of you brought up, um it'll be good to

43
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:48.399
show the data, right? So maybe what were grades prior to this or averages and what are grades after, but that's what's going to really convince parents. And if regardless of whether it's better or worse, if it's better, it's going to

44
00:11:48.399 --> 00:12:04.079
help parents will believe in it. They'll be able to reinforce it. And I think even the students will do that. So I know we've uh sometimes had some when it comes to showing data it's not as streamlined but if we can do a good job of showing that I think it'll

45
00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:22.480
go a long way to supporting what you need. >> And my only question on that is how did co you know impact whatever baseline there was >> that's a perfect example of comparing differences of what happened. So we have this monumental moment where where the

46
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:37.600
way that the kids are going to be in school changes. So let's measure it so that we can show the positive benefits. Um my thoughts. >> Yep. >> Great. Thank you. That concludes my uh report and if anybody has any questions

47
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:52.560
or hears any feedback, please let me know. I I've certainly always opened my door for any communication from parents and I've actually encouraged it for for this as well. Thank you. Um, okay. 2.03 is on the

48
00:12:52.560 --> 00:13:12.320
consent agenda, approval of HIV reports. Uh, 2.04 on the consent agenda is the approval of superintendent reports. >> Do I pause in between or just keep rolling? Okay. I just want to make sure. >> Keep going. All right. >> Ahead. >> Going going into item three, uh, 3.01 is

49
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:28.800
standing committees. um if we could have a uh an update from any committees that have met in the last time frame. So um did building grounds and finance meet? No, >> no committee meetings. >> Uh we have sorry we do have the policy

50
00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:48.560
committee. Okay. >> But I'm happy to give that update from our course I got to sign back in. It's >> Yeah, because been longer than 12 hours. >> That was last month, right? Yes. Apologize for the delay as soon as I log

51
00:13:48.560 --> 00:14:21.199
back in. So the policy committee met on July 6. Um it was a nice uh post July 4th meeting. Um during the the the meeting we discussed um a number of policies that were part of the recent Strauss estimate update um including but

52
00:14:21.199 --> 00:14:37.120
not limited to notice of notice of board meetings, legal notices, superintendent duties, family leave, curriculum um equity and classroom practices, career education and academic um uh counseling. Eligibility of resident non-resident student uh for student choice school

53
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:54.240
districts, high school graduation uh is still under review. high school diplomas, which is a a new policy. Um, reimbursement of federal and grant expenditures, federal awards, uh, funds, uh, internal controls, allowability of costs, federal awards for funds,

54
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:09.839
mandatory disclosures, uh, contracts for goods and services funded in by federal grants, procurement procedures for school nutrition programs, additional uh, compensatory special education and related services has been abolished. the

55
00:15:09.839 --> 00:15:24.639
use of physical restraint and seclusion techniques for students with disabilities. Uh both the policy and the regulation and the the policy for the use of school facilities and the regulation for school facilities. Um the regulation the policy and regulation for

56
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:41.839
school uh school uh use of school facilities has been an ongoing discussion with the buildings grounds and finance committee with the updated fees that has now been been formalized into the the the policy. Um the pol that policy will be presented to the those

57
00:15:41.839 --> 00:15:57.839
policy and regulations will be presented uh to the building and grounds and finance committee at our August 17th meeting and then will be presented for the first reading on the August 24th um agenda. We also discussed uh bylaw 0164 which is

58
00:15:57.839 --> 00:16:12.480
the the structure and the sequence of the board meeting. This is uh had been discussed previously and Mr. Figs actually asked for uh feedback from all all the board members just used to just adjust the the sequence of of our board meeting to kind of have a more natural

59
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:29.920
flow which also mirrors the the board committees as well. Uh we had a uh a discussion about the academic dishonesty that was a followup to the uh from our May board meeting from a public comment. Um the committee discussed uh what had been put in place

60
00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:44.959
to combat the academic dishonesty challenges uh that were observed during the during the previous school year. While the discussion had previously taken place with the curriculum committee, it was brought up at the policy meeting based on the the public comments that were made, I'm sorry, during the June meeting, not the May

61
00:16:44.959 --> 00:17:03.120
meeting. And lastly, um we we uh circle back to the discussion that we had on the NJSBA policy services versus the Strauss Esme. Um and it it it does not appear that there is um a whole lot of uh

62
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:20.880
the what I've taken from from speaking to people is that if people were using the NJSBA policy manual, they liked it and they didn't want to change. If people were using the Strauss Esme, they liked it and didn't want to change. there was nobody that really kind of went from one to another for and for any justified reason. So there really was it

63
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:36.080
didn't seem that it was substantial enough to be able to um make the change one way or another or make the change away from stress estimate. And that is the information. Um additionally, there were a few other policies that I did send out to the

64
00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:52.960
policy um committee uh that that are on this evening's agenda. that is the uh use of internet enabled devices. It is the um the student use of privately owned technology has been

65
00:17:52.960 --> 00:18:09.039
abolished because of because the other the implementation of the student use of internet enabled devices, transportation uh by private vehicle to and from school and transportation by private vehicle or district-owned vehicles to and from school. Um that doesn't mean that we

66
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:28.080
want teachers to put students or or any staff member to put students in their private owned vehicles, but if we had the need, then the policy does provide um the ability with explicit permission from either myself or designate. >> Any questions from the policy meeting?

67
00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:45.280
>> I was just curious with the um internet policy uh the student used devices and whatnot. Um since we're we'll be approving that the next meeting. Correct. >> Tonight is the first reading and then the the second reading will be in August 24th for implementation the beginning of

68
00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:59.679
the starting start of the school year. >> Right. So reading through that policy it listed like disciplinary actions. Are those not going to be in the student handbook or they will be? >> They're they're mimicked in in both. >> Okay. So the parent and the parents sign off that they've read that to get access

69
00:18:59.679 --> 00:19:16.240
to the the um power school. Correct. >> Yes. So the the when going through that policy I did um share that with Dr. Karns and Dr. McCann. They provided me with the same information that was in their handbook which we then replicated in the uh the regulations uh for the

70
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:33.440
internet internet enabled devices. >> Okay. Good. And that that distinction you mentioned for the middle school the the penalties are less severe because the the high school they have the pouches as you mentioned. >> Correct. Yep. >> Yeah. I think that's going to be really important to communicate that to families probably repeatedly because I

71
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:47.840
think >> it it will be a massive change for the students at the high school level, you know. >> Yes. And the the middle school while the students have not been able to utilize their phones, they are going to reconstitute the expectations as well that that all students are to keep them

72
00:19:47.840 --> 00:20:45.760
in their lockers and so on. >> Could you let us know a little bit about that process of how distribution of these cases will work? Dr. McCann, can I ask your help on that? [laughter] Do we have them already? >> Okay.

73
00:20:45.760 --> 00:21:16.559
>> So, the students are going to keep the pouch that's been assigned to them. So, they not going to have to pick it up because I was imagining somebody's going to have to stand at each door and make sure that each kid gets the pouch. Okay. And those will be like designated

74
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:44.320
stations for students. They'll have to walk out one of those doors and >> lovely. Thank you. >> Or sister. [laughter] Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you very much. Um, moving on to 3.03 delegate reports. Uh, Joe's not

75
00:21:44.320 --> 00:22:00.640
here for NJ. Um, as Burns County did not have a meeting and do you know if there was anything legislatively? Did Michael speak to you at all? No. >> Okay. Uh, moving on to uh item 4.01

76
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:18.000
notes to visitors for public comment. I will read through this >> only if there are >> Are there any is anybody signed up? >> I I don't believe we have any public comment. >> Okay. Do you want to give any public comment? No. Okay, great. >> So, you can just skip that.

77
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:35.200
>> We'll move on to 5.01. Uh, notes about the con uh consent agenda. Items on the consent. This one I do read. Items on the consent agenda are believed to be items of routine nature requiring no discussion and which are to be voted upon a single roll call vote to

78
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:51.919
the board. Any single member of the board may have any of the items on the consent agenda removed and placed on the other part of the agenda for discussion merely by so indicating prior to the vote to be taken on the consent agenda. Items removed from the consent agenda are identified by an asterct and will be

109
00:31:15.520 --> 00:31:31.440
>> So I don't think it's on here. I'll be honest. I didn't read it in detail. Um, but you had sent or we had received information through email from parents with the Notre Dame bus and part of that discussion was uh that there were

110
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:47.279
agreements made with board in town. Did we ever look into that to see if we could make a similar agreement or and and I know from from the past um parents who had seniors going to Notre Dame were very appreciative of the stipen because

111
00:31:47.279 --> 00:32:04.159
their kids wanted to drive anyway but not so much the other people. So I just didn't know how much we had dug into it to look to see anything else that could be done. >> Miss Williams was the one that found out the information so I'm going to let her share. >> Yep. So sure, Bordontown is not providing transportation to Notre Dame

112
00:32:04.159 --> 00:32:20.880
for the same reasons um the enrollment based on the um cost and what it costs for Aiden Lou. Um there is transportation to a couple stops in Bordontown, but that's arranged by Notre Dame, not by Bordontown. So that information wasn't completely

113
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:35.919
correct. >> So I guess the question is if these students were going to Notre Dame and they want to go to Bordontown to catch the bus, they probably could. that could be arranged by Notre Dame. I would I would think >> correct. And for the parents that did

114
00:32:35.919 --> 00:32:53.440
reach out like and that was shared with them. Um and again that since that was arranged by Notre Dame then then it's really for them to kind of coordinate together. >> Have we ever talked to Notre Dame about them having a stop right here? Meaning on their dime letting letting them bring

115
00:32:53.440 --> 00:33:09.919
the bus because if they're going to board town. No, we have not talked to Notre Dame about that stuff about arranging that. >> Is that a worthwhile conversation? I don't know. I mean, >> it might put to bed the whole thing if there's Notre Dame stops at Northern and

116
00:33:09.919 --> 00:33:25.919
picks up kids. >> It's not a It would be a courtesy that we could have that conversation, but we wouldn't be able to um be responsible for coordinating that. So, you know, Notre Dame is free to coordinate that with the parents who are attending. So maybe they need to speak to the parents

117
00:33:25.919 --> 00:33:42.720
or the parents need to speak to Notre Dame. Okay, cool. >> Now, the challenge that if we get involved, I I want to support all of our community members, but however, the challenge is that if we make those arrangements and something doesn't go correct, we're not the ones that that

118
00:33:42.720 --> 00:34:00.799
are responsible for it. >> Notre Dame. >> Yeah. >> Got it. Okay. Any other questions on 16? >> All right. Moving on to 17, use of facilities. 17.01, superintendent recommendations. 17.02, the approval of the use of facilities under the Junior

letters anonymously regarding performance. Not sure who I should bring them to or the rest of the board got them. Okay, >> we'll do. And for the transportation, Joe, the one thing that we mentioned right here at the end was that if Notre

132
00:37:54.079 --> 00:38:11.520
Dame wants to set up a spot for parents to pick up kids like they do in Bordontown, parents should reach out to Notre Dame. >> Okay. >> So, you guys open up anonymous letters? >> Yeah, >> I do. I'm not uh >> You're not afraid of anthrax? >> No, I mean I'm not afraid of anthrax, at
