Okay. Um, we'll just move to the superintendent report. Good evening. I'd like to begin by congratulating our sixth graders on their commencement last week. Commencement is one of my favorite days of the year because I love the pomp and circumstance and the and the tradition
of it all from the handbells to the color guard to the final song. However, this one also showed something else that has always made me proud to lead this district. Collaboration. At 7:30 a.m., when the ground was wet, the chairs had pools of water on them, and we were short staffed in our custodial ranks.
Staff just started showing up. Miss Reese Beater showed up with extra towels to help wipe down the chairs. Mrs. Valerano, Miss Catalo, and Mr. McIll, who was subbing that day, showed up and said, "How can I help?" Mr. Butcher and Mr. Rammy put their heads together and said, "How do we protect the sound equipment from the water dripping from
the trees?" Mr. Mr. Irvin started blowing the water off chairs as a group of fourth grade boys came over to help dry all those chairs off. In fact, it was Mr. Irvin that saved the board because I wanted to blow into the trees and he was like, "You can't do that."
Um, it was a true team effort because everyone knows how special that day is each year to this community. The day after commencement, our third, fourth, and fifth graders stepped up into their new home rooms for the upcoming school year. Then the final bell rang and everyone thinks that life calms down,
but it doesn't. Um, our summer 2025 programming began. People assume that summer is a quiet time and August is, but July is not. On Monday of this week, exploration started with 44 classes being run serving 235 students. Our
extended school year program is serving an additional 16 students. All the world's stage is running a theater camp in this very room serving a little over 50 students. And the Oridel Recreation Program is home to just under 130 students this year. You would think
school was still going on. And while all of this is going on, we had curriculum writing happening in the building this week and work on our HVAC project began, which I'm sure Mr. Aelli will provide an update regarding that work. Administratively, we are reflecting on last year. We're really looking at the
behavioral trends in our code of conduct and we're also studying our link data from the prior school year. We're really happy to see in that link data that our fourth and fifth graders showed improved math growth with a brand new math program being implemented. Um we're continuing to drill down on that data to
inform possible title one funding programs and the professional development that we will plan for the year ahead and summer has just started. And that concludes my report. Thank you, Mr. Ayelli. Yes. Good evening. Um, I'd like to say
that our new building and grounds uh supervisor will start July 1st, Edward Carrerero coming from uh Ramipo, but he was in a elementary school for a number of years, so I look forward to uh having
him on board. And also, as Miss Bosie said, TM Brennan started our Airdale project. Um it's moving faster than he anticipated. Um they will be here. They've already they will have all the equipment delivered on the 27th and they
are already starting to disconnect and they're going to start taking items the actual units out starting tomorrow. Um so they anticipate being completed uh by July 15th. So that was
actually way ahead of what we thought. Um, and there was some difference in some of the jargon or terminology. Mobilization in the past when I've dealt with someone is getting ready, bringing some things on site, not showing up to
do the work. So, when I asked their their interpretation of mobilization was, oh yeah, we're there working. We're in a pass. So, should have gotten that a little more clarified. was a little surprised but been trying to juggle and move around uh keep the kids safe and
get the work going. So that concludes my report. Thank you. Before we move forward, I want to go back to my report. I forgot something. Um as you know from our close session, the
board of ed and the OEA negotiating team came to an agreement and we are going to be voting on the contract on the memorandum of agreement. this evening. So, publicly, I wanted to just thank Mr. Dariion for his help, a lot of hours.
Um, I wanted to thank Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Norian, the personnel committee for always backing us up. I wanted to thank uh Miss Pisa and Miss Cataldo for a lovely experience in negotiations this year. Wouldn't you say, Mr. Dariion? Uh, yes. and thank you to their
negotiating um committee and also to the entire union for ratifying the contract um the day after school was out. So, we are done. It is a four-year contract. So, I think that's a good thing, but I wanted to thank everyone. I forgot. Um
on that note, is it on the agenda? Because I don't see it. Maybe I have the wrong agenda. I'm on the wrong section. Am I staring at it? Is it under personnel? It should be
under finance. No, it's not here. So, while Miss Bozios is typing a walk-on for us, um let's move to minutes. We have the approval of May 7th.
Uh, do I have a motion? Mrs. Norian, second by Mrs. Walker. Do we have any questions? I have a question. I think um should we we should have May 21st on here as a review. So, next time we're going to
have two to review. We're going to do two. Okay. Any other questions? Call the question. [Applause] on the roll. Mr. Delg Greco, yes. Mr. Darian, yes. Mrs. Downey, yes. Mrs.
Moran, yes. Mr. Nutland, yes. Mrs. Walker, yes. Mrs. Norian, yes. Mrs. Nichols. Yes. Um, let's move to committee reports. Administrative. Mrs. Norian, would you take that? Uh, yes.
I'd like to present uh items A1 through A3. Do I have a second? Second. Second by Mr. Nutlin. Any questions? Call the question
on the roll. Mr. Delg Greco. Yes. Mr. Darian. Yes. Mrs. Downey? Yes. Mrs. Moran? Yes. Mr. Nutland? Yes. Mrs. Walker? Yes. Mrs. Norian. Yes. Mrs. Nichols. Yes. Uh building the grounds.
Mr. Delg Grego. Um like to uh present B1 use of school facilities. I'll second it. Any questions? I have a question on the issue with the air dales and the air
whatever they disconnected. Do we know when it's going to be resolved or is it going to take? Going to talk to them tomorrow to see where we are with that. They were here today. They're supposed to be coming back tomorrow. I've already had a call into the contractor. Sent an email. I'm waiting to hear back. Do we
know what they disconnected where? We don't know. There was a line that is called a they call it a trunk line that was disconnected and since the units seem to be all daisy chained, if you took that out of the loop, the rest of
the what was after the chain came offline. Okay. Any other questions? Buildings and grounds. I have one more question. How did the uh basketball court do after the heat and the rain? How's it looking with the
indent or whatever? I think it's looking pretty good. And now after this heat that seemed to have have it seems to have adhered without a problem. So now we'll just have them come back and we will go with the uh the one that's more waterbased
and have them seal it. It looks like it may only need one coat based on it because we could there's a spot where there's one and two coats and one coat may finish it. But so I wanted to see after this heat what is it going to look like? So far so good. Okay. Thank you.
Um I have a question. Uh do we know when land is going to I guess work across the street on Memorial Field Eastern data? Sorry. We just got that approval from the town right the day before commencement. So,
we'll work on that moving forward and look at whether or not we're going to do one camera or two at the same time. Perfect. Thank you. Any other questions? Call the question on the roll. Mr. Delg Greco. Yes. Mr.
Dariion. Yes. Mrs. Downey? Yes. Mrs. Moran? Yes. Mr. Nutland, yes. Mrs. Walker, yes. Mrs. Norian, yes. Mrs. Nichols, yes. Curriculum, Mrs. Norian. Uh, yes. Um, we need to have a meeting. I believe we are in the midst of, uh,
curriculum writing and we have a few other things going on. So, uh, if you can let me know what is a good good time. Miss Bosios. Finance. Mr. Darien. Yes, we have quite a few items tonight.
Um, I'd like to introduce items. I think it's D1 through D. So, wait, before you do that, can I do a walk-on for you? Sure. So, I would like to walk on D22, right? Yep. D22, and I will read it for everybody. Sure.
Ratification of an agreement with the Ordal Education Association. It is hereby moved upon the recommendation of the superintendent that the board ratifies an agreement between the Ordal Board of Education and the Ordinal Education Association for the period of July 1st, 2025 through June 30th, 2029.
So that will be D22. You want to make your motion? Uh, yeah. I'd like to introduce uh D1 through D22. I'll second it. second by Mrs. Norian. Any questions? So, um Mr. Delg Greco and I had asked um Mr.
Ayapelli one of the um let's see D11 is um the resolution to renew, award, or permit to expire the following contracts. And this is the list of them that you were just handed. So, that's
what you're voting on. Do we know like our main contracts like LinkedIn and whatever what percentage are going up? Usually we like to see that but haven't had a meeting. Do you know? I get it. But it's I'll get all of
those numbers and send it to you. Like do we know some of them were high like No. Well, and some of them are apples to orange comparison because for real time, for example, which is one of our bigger ones, we're not using three different components that we were in the
past. Are we getting rid of real time? No. Real time stole our student management system. However, we al often in the past five years, six years, whatever. We also used it for communications to send out email blasts. We no longer are doing that because we're using apt thrillshare, the new
website. So, that came off. We also no longer are using another um component of it because but the one the components left we should be able to see like on our main for our next finance meeting Mr. Darien since we usually look at this also
main contracts and what percentages they went up because I hate to vote on things that I don't know what they're going up for the year. Mr. Nutland, what um what are we using real time for besides the student portal? Um attendance. So it's the parent portal. It's our student management system. So how somebody would
use P school or Genesis are we using it for IEPs and 504s MTSS not for INRS we actually um that's part of what came off we use um linked it link it for that link it for we do use it for IEPs we do use it for health um
information um part of why we use real time is because um there are people that are experts in everything real time is the jack of all trades of everything. So, our staff only has to go to one portal. Yeah. No, I I think it's a pretty good program. That's why I was
asking. Just just to let you know, no purchase orders have been issued. We said that we're we're going to continue with them as a vendor, but I haven't issued any purchase orders. Things have just been a little okay, a little hectic. So, I'm trying to close out and then start after
this meeting in earnest, we're going to start looking at POS for all of 2526. You could put that on curriculum and then go over there. Could I Mrs. Walker? Um I see borrow of NESBIG. What is that? That's our That's
our insurance. Mr. High Pali. Nesbig is an acronym for Northeast School Board Insurance Group. So that's where we get our package policies, all our property insurance, workers comp. So we hook up with them. We're in a consortium with
about 40 other districts. So that's how we purchase our insurance and actually our insurance was pretty much flat this year. It was under 1%. Uh it went up just got the final numbers on that and Burrow of Oidell we purchased gasoline.
We have excess sewer fees. That's it. All right. Good. Thank you. Any other questions? Um one quick question. So all these here right these include I guess what the PTA donates to us and then what we then write checks
out word this is any or anything that anything that had a purchase order okay so we don't call it a they call it a contract our auditors because we don't have many like engaged contracts we issue purchase orders so this is any purchase order
that was issued whether it's out of our general fund or student funds that's what I think if it's a donation from the PTA this would be here. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else call the question Greco? Yes. Mr. Dariion. Yes. Mrs.
Downey. Yes. Mrs. Moran. Yes. Mr. Nutley. Yes. Mrs. Walker. Yes. Mrs. Norian. Yes. Mrs. Nichols. Yes. Delegate report. I don't know. Are there any delegate meetings over the summer? Usually, no. Usually the summer will be in the fall. Okay, good. September,
October personnel. Mrs. Walker. Okay. Yes. I would like to present um F1. I'll second it. Second by Mrs. Norian.
And just just a quick aside as far as meetings go, we had met um not this this week but prior. And um I think a congratulations goes to both our president uh Dorothy uh Watson Nichols
and Greg Dariion for their diligent work in getting this settled and in a very um amicable way. I think that that's very important. It was lovely with Miss Cataldo and Miss Pisa. Yes. I'm sorry. Absolutely. It was lovely.
And that concludes any questions. Call the question on the role. Mr. Delg Greco. Yes. Mr. Dariion. Yes. Mrs. Downey. Yes. Mrs. Moran? Yes. Mr.
Nutland? Yes. Mrs. Walker? Yes. Mrs. Norian? Yes. Mrs. Nichols? Yes. Public relations. Oh, no. Policy. Mr. Nutland. Um, I'm going to work on a date with Mrs. Downey and Miss Moran and and
to get a policy date going. Public relations. Mrs. Downey. Um, I don't have anything, but my name is spelled wrong. Yes, it is. Jamie is spelled wrong. This was an old one that was copied.
At this time, we'll open to the public. Take care of that. Not seeing anyone. We'll move forward. Any old or new business? I have something. Delco. I just want to thank, you know, Miss Boosezius, the administration, the teachers on another
great school year. Mr. Pell as well. It seems like everything, you know, as a school year should go through, right? A great commencement at the end, but I know it's a lot of hard work, you know, and it's a lot of teamwork, right? Both from the board and from the superintendent all the way through to the teachers. And I just want to thank
you for another great year. Any other older new business? This is Marian. Um, I just wanted to say it was my first commencement that I went to and I really enjoyed it. Um, and the
handbells were just my favorite part. But, um, it was really nice. You guys did a really great job. Anyone else? We do need a close session. So, Mrs. Dorian, would you like to make the motion? I would like to make a motion
that we go into a close session. Second. No, we don't. I don't. I have to. Has to be. Um, who second it? Chris. Mr. Nutland. [Applause]
