behalf of the Board of Education or any other member on the board um so I want to take a moment to address some recent comments regarding our school district's decision to implement a no homework night in recognition of new of Lunar New Year first first and foremost we should
remember that our schools serve a diverse community and part of fostering a welcoming environment is acknowledging and respecting the cultural Traditions that are important to many of our students and their families Lunar New Year is a significant holiday celebrated by millions around the world including
many families in our own Community setting aside one night without homework is a small but meaningful way to show respect and understanding for those who celebrate to those who feel this accommodation is not necessary I en encourage you to consider how our schools already adjust schedules for
various holidays and observances whether it be Christmas yam kapor or other important days recognizing Lunar New Year does not take anything away from anyone it simply extends the same respect and appreciation to all cultures represented in our
schools at its core this is about demonstrating kindness respect and a willingness to understand perspective beyond our own more importantly we should all take time to learn from and embrace other cultures because in doing so we grow not just as
individuals but as a community when we open ourselves to different Traditions customs and histories we develop a deeper understanding of the world and the people around us that understanding strengthens our connections builds empathy and makes us better neighbors friends and
citizens now I know that some will will be quick to judge my political affiliation by the tone of my comments and cast assumptions about me they would be mistaken kindness empathy should belong to everyone these values are not
owned by one political party or another they are fundamental human principles that transcend politics being thoughtful and compassionate to towards others does not mean compromise compromising one's own belief it simply means recognizing the Dignity of all people and treating
them with respect our children learned by our actions of adults around them if we want them to grow up to be respectful compassionate and open-minded individuals we must lead by example let's show our children that embracing other cultures does not divide us it
unites us let us demonstrate that with that respect and understanding our values we should all live by not just when it is convenient but always thank you um we now come to that portion of our meeting uh we allow members of the public to address the board in this
section we allow questions or comments on reports resolutions and all School related matters the public can ask questions or make any comments regarding the proposed Bond r refinance our bond regulations number 0167 a lot 20 minutes for these
communications each person shall be limited to three minutes and we ask that you try to stay within this requirement speakers may speak more than once only after all others wishing to speak on a topic have been heard all statements will be directed to me as the chairperson and no one may address board members individually please be reminded
that if your statement is too lengthy abusive obscene irrelevant or redundant your participation may be terminated please remember to state your name and address each and every time you address the board does anyone have any [Music] questions come up you can come
[Music] up can we move the podium a little bit out more so we could see [Music] good you want me to start singing Anthony mcki 249 wet Street nley um I'll try to be as quick as I
could um I just want to know what what is the process of doing like approval of coaches because I noticed on there we're doing uh approvals of coaches and stuff like that for all for all sports who does the approval
how does it basically work so so you're talking about the process correct well the pro like how how how how the you process how the process of the approval goes where does it start and where does it end yeah well Mr Mr B will uh will address that I just want to be careful
because uh obviously the board cannot discuss Personnel matters so if we're talking about the process we we can discuss that if it's gonna if it's going to go into questions regarding Personnel we're not going to be able to address just asking com basic questions
good evening uh the process begins with a posting uh for each uh sport um the athletic director uh completes an interview panel um interviews the people involved makes
recommendations um to for for the sports the athletic director also evaluates all the coaches um in a summary evaluation each year so when when somebody gets approv approved does the does he do the
approval and sends it over or is it for do you does do you guys get whoever puts up for a for a spot right in any in any uh so so the postings are handled by uh Karen greo employe relations she opens the postings each year and closes them the pool goes to the athletic director
he makes recommendations uh based on previous evaluations and new applicants at each position so so when you do uh when jobs get put up for either basketball or whatever they have to put them up every year for head coaches and
everything and where and where do they get posted uh they get posted through APPL TR our online system um the the jobs in tonight's uh agenda were posted at the end of November I believe right Karen and so uh for the baseball
position obviously you guys know I coach baseball for nutly um town and and stuff like that but I never saw the head job because I I went to look for it I never saw I saw the assistant but I never saw a head job post it to uh apply for that I looked on indeed looked on the nutly
board I never found that at all unless it's possible I missed it I what I'm just asking uh yeah yes sir I think um one of the things I did I verified that the jobs were open for the required time a lot with HR uh before moving the recommendations forward to the board
okay so when when you're as far as coaches say like next year ended and you do hiring for the next year or you do approval of next year um do you guys keep uh like who actually was a coach for tennis before and you guys if
someone's not there do you look and see ask why he's not back or she's not back or stuff like that or no you just whatever is present presented to you you just go off of that you guys keep your stuff from the previous years of who actually was coaching for each sport uh yeah so the athletic director
makes recommendations and we evaluate the recommendations I evaluate the recommendations and move them forward if they fit our process and meet the requirements no that's what I'm asking is for instance for for tennis if you have four coaches in 2023 and
2024 one of them isn't back do you do you ask why he or she isn't back is there a reason is he he or she gonna coach somewhere else do you try to find out why they're not returning so we don't have that problem in the future or if you have a good not asked why a coach
is not returning based on the recommendations of the athletic so you guys don't write down for the future because tennis specifically if they're four coaches and we only have three the following year I do not inquire about the fourth coach typ well I'm just saying if if each sport has four coaches
and one doesn't return I think it would be best to look and see how come he or she isn't returning and maybe fix what either he or she did or what the program is doing wrong as well I think think that would help
a lot for each each sport um what I got this just a few few more things and then then I'll be done so Mr mil Nikki um I don't know if there's anyone else that um wants to get up and say anything uh but I think we
you know we we observed three minutes so if you want to just come back want you know just have a seat and if there's someone else and as soon as they're done then then if we have more time you're allowed to obviously come back up is there anyone else wishing to ask any questions or
comments hi I'm Deb Alber 23 Wilmington Drive and I just really wanted to thank the board um for creating and implementing the no homework program which ensures students and families have the time and respect needed for religious observances without any academic conflicts um it's really a
historic and meaningful policy that you guys have put together and um I'm in agreement with the comments you made earlier on the Lunar New Year and um uh really um a part I what I didn't see on
the pre- agenda um I saw that there were no homework dates labeled but I didn't see them with the corresponding observants names and so I think that's important I mean I don't know if you have it so my question is do you have that because
it's it's really important that we learn and acknowledge each other's holidays um really to help break down all the barriers and maybe some of the misunder understandings about the holidays so I was just wondering is there a written policy and is there a correspondence in
the calendar with the dates to the names of the holidays hi Miss hello how are you good good thanks for coming um you referenced policy the board hasn't formally adopted no homework days in its policy it's more of our procedure um and the adoption of the
calendar that that they're going through um the the board uh I make the recommendation the board shares and what Mr farar said and puts it into the calendar but as far as it being a formal policy uh the board has not taken action in the policy format yet is there a way
for us to um is there a way for that to be done is there anything that the parents can do to help I I I think you're doing it you're providing feedback for the board um and the board can take that and that's part of their one of their primary functions to to set policies so okay well we did send a
letter I was going to read it but I um don't know if that's important for public record but if you want more people to send the letter we're happy to organize that thank you okay and also I just wanted to also say thank you for the holidays of um you know we we did come
in for yum kapor and that was granted and and rashash Shana and then also putting the um the spring break over Passover also I don't know if that's a change that's being made because earlier you said there was a mistake so I'm not sure if that's still in there but I also
just wanted to say thank you for that recognition it's like it I can't even say how much it means to us so so thank you um yeah just for for the public on the way and it was brought to my attention that there was a uh a disconnect between the dates listed for spring break and the dates we have written uh in the calendar and we're
just going to make sure that they correspond in they're correct to the dates of spring break that's for 25 or 26 25 26 uh for April of 25 or April of 26 April 26 to my understanding but it it was mentioned to me on the way in so
I'll have to look at everything following the meeting okay okay anyone else wishing to address the board thank you uh Dan Port 236 really AB uh um in in reference to that when you when you came in the date may be wrong but it's
still going to be uh the Passover it still be the week before Easter that's not changing so all three will still be okay um I just wanted to um good evening everyone and I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely um thank you guys for the board for recognizing acknowledging the
importance of giving time off of Russia Shana Yumer and Passover in the upcoming school calendar seeing that the board listened and considered and ultimately made the decision to incorporate these days off truly truly truly means a lot to the many families in this community the decision reflects the commitment to
inclus inclusivity respect and recognition of the diverse backgrounds that make up the school district it sends a message that all students and families matter and that their Traditions are valued so on behalf of myself and everyone that this decision impacts thank you for your consideration
your responsiveness and your dedication to making our schools a welcoming place for all I truly Tru truly appreciate it thank you thank you anyone else wishing to address the board Mr M Nick we didn't I didn't forget about you I didn't forget about
you that's all right okay hi um Ronda fobos 312 East Pake Avenue nutly um I don't have any prepared remarks I really only learned about this meeting sort of last minute but there's something that uh I really want to ask you first want to thank you
um for you're moving in the right direction you're listening and um you're showing how nutly public schools are working to uh not only be inclusive but not exclude which is equally important and Mr fararo your
statements were spoton thank I'm the person who was clapping and saying thank you you said exactly what I needed to hear as a resident of this town for over 30 years who chose to my family here and make my home here and I just want to say it's
it's a little bit sad that you had to preface that with party affiliate political party affiliation it if you're expressing empathy oh and and um I just want to say thank you
um what I want to ask you is when you're when you're doing this if you it seems like I've I've heard that the town the P the Board of Ed and the commissioners are working together now um I don't know exactly what that includes to be honest
but what I'm asking you to consider is to keep your line of communication regarding these no homework nights open with the town in particular the Commissioners and the mayor's office and I'm going to tell you why um last fall
with the the first no homework night I believe for Rashia Shana the uh mayor's office took that as an opportunity knowing it was a no homework night specifically knowing the reason for the no homework night being a Jewish
holiday purposefully planned a children's event on that night which is counterintuitive to this whole experiment that we're doing right now because it is an experiment it's not even a policy yet and I I hope as
educator I think you understand that you know it's not only that you want to relieve the stress of students that they don't have to do a homework assignment that night because there's a whole bunch of ways you could go about doing that you could single out the students that have a religious holiday and say well
you could hand it in the next day but you don't do that you know why because that could lead to bullying right so the whole thing is to not only take the stress off of the students but also to relieve them of that feeling of missing
out on something that happened that night right because the next day when all the kids are talking about that movie they went to you know um and the the one kid who had the home no homework night um didn't go to the movie because they had a religious holiday so my hope
is that the Board of Ed and the Commissioners the particularly the mayor's office work together keep a line of communication open when you have a no homework night communicate it to them so that they purposely don't schedule anything because it's a no homework
night that is my ask of you and I will tell you that when that happened um a nutly mother went to the commissioner's meeting you could see it it's on YouTube sometime last October um and the
response that she got was so offensive I in my over 30 years living in this town I mean it's not been Easy Living in nutly as a Jewish person okay but it hasn't been horrible you know I
but I have never felt so alienated as when the town leader said that this town doesn't have to do anything just for you which was not the ask all the mother was asking was to not schedule something
during a no homework night which is scheduled to Foster inclusivity to to not exclude students and also to create a an opportunity for learning for all the students which is exactly what you
board president what you had said in your statement it's an opportunity for everyone um so I want to thank you for continuing to listen I won't take up any more of your time I just I don't want to leave here without knowing that I asked
you to keep this line of communication open with the mayor's office yes thank you thank [Music] you sure go ahead here I'm so sorry uh and this is a pretty deep so I I'll make it very quick
maybe you just planting the seed and you think about it because I'll come back and I'll ask you about it but with the um the federal government directives about diversity and specifically as it relates to
lgbtq uh in students in public education I'm hoping that the board is also aware of you know state laws and regulations and guidance and if you haven't already started communicating about it I'm sure that you have but um I will be
interested I'm going to come back and I would be interested to understand how nutly Public Schools will be handling future directives or the current directive from the federal government because um the whole reason why I'm an advocate and an ally for the
lgbtq community is Du due to attending funerals of nutly young people when my kids were in school we don't want to see that happen right so everybody wants to be
recognized and seen and included and if the bar is at Toleration it's way too low think about when you walk into a room if you want to be tolerated or if you want to be welcomed if you're just tolerated that means people can't wait for you to leave so we want to stop
saying that we're going to tolerate people and and welcome our students and make them feel comfortable and welcome thank you for letting me say thank you anyone else wishing to come up and make a comment or question okay Mr mil
[Music] Nikki I I'll get to the point I'll go real quick here uh some of you know I was a volunteer coach uh many years back and I'm just trying to see are there special should I say rules for certain
coaches or you know because it seems to me like when when I coached here I I have passion for the sport um volunteered my time um I do coach baseball outside of here for our town
um I was told the reason why I wasn't allowed to return was because of that was that not approved by the board or was that not approved by somebody else that's what I'm trying to figure out here so so at least I know for my own well-being okay so Mr R Nicki Mr B will
address your your uh your question but the Board of Education right we we approve we we we vote on um things that are presented to us by our our super intendent um we we are not the ones that interview we're not the ones that are involved in in that process the
recommendation has to come from our superintended it just seems like there's more leeway for certain coaches and not others just that's that's that's where I have a problem I understand I want to clarify just a point as far as the Board of Education this board is not involved
in the direct process of interviewing and how that whole process works we are here we vote on what is recommended To Us by our our superintendent of schools and that's and that's why I I bring that up to you it's best um just to help you
guys out each year when there's when there's Sports going on I think it's best take your pens and write down spring summer fall whatever sports that are going on write down who's who's actually coaching for those a for those Sports so then when the next year comes
up if that he or she isn't presented you can ask why how come what happened so you know I mean I I understand that so I I I have a couple questions on this on this um of our superintendent um so whenever there's any position that's
open the position is posted correct okay I didn't see the head coach so every position every position is posted right um when when a position is posted it's open for a period of time right okay um once it's closed once that period of
time is closed right does that position still stay on the it or does it is it is it get taken down from the website okay so so how long's it up for okay so by code it's 10 days that it has to stay up I've only saw the
assistant coach thing it's it's still up that that's currently what you see today those are open positions so what that's what I just asked Mr B is that if a position is posted it stays open for the 10 days that we have to have it open for correct once the position closes
meaning the add you know it's it's it gets removed off of that so it's not something that you could see what was posted three months ago or six months ago it's right now what you're seeing is currently open positions under I understand but so and that's one of the things I'm going to ask Mr B to see if
there's a way that we can do something on our on our Apple track um where we can view positions that were posted previously so that it's if somebody has a you know a question as to I didn't see it at least they can go back and and and see that it was posted I I do understand
that but Nutley is losing a lot of good coaches in every sport and it's just seems it seems like to me it's dictated by just a couple people and then you're like like I said you have you have certain Sports here like I'll keep bringing up baseball we have a ton of
talent I mean a ton of talent there is no reason why in baseball and I understand certain Sports you need to drop down there is no reason why to drop down levels baseball with the talent we have we have over 30s something losses in the last two years 30 something
losses so instead we drop down we make up a fake thing where we're playing these these teams where we now now we win 16 games and we act like we're actually getting better and we're not we're not helping our kids to to actually play in the next whether it's
D3 21 I dropping down does not help our kids it it doesn't I look I understand I know you're committed to the no but it it just seems like this and I and I'll leave like this don't make me do your job I shouldn't have to do your job
listen I'm not I'm not gonna argue I'm trying to get out of here before I get upset but don't make me do your job if if you can't do your job you should step down that's all I'm saying all right thank you thank you thank you Mr mil Nikki um Mr Mr pñ I just have a few more
follow-up questions for you okay because so when there's a position that's open is is is that automatically renewed or is that auto is it posted and and you have to apply it each [Music] year yes our our positions are posted
each year um there is a recommendation from the annual uh that comes from the evaluation uh that the athletic director makes uh for each each position in District that's open uh there's a point person uh whether it be a teaching position and usually the supervisor principal or in the case of Athletics or
athletic director uh for uh certain positions um panels are put together and uh different stakeholders are brought together to interview candidates in several rounds typically um all new candidates get a recommendation to the board we fill out paperwork uh to
discuss why we select each candidate um and that's reviewed with the board um but to answer some of your questions uh the point person here would be the athletic director okay thank you is there anyone else wishing to address the board
