also emailed to everybody and I do think we need to start setting committee meetings maybe we can do that as we're going through tonight the committee reports or even afterwards but at this point I will turn it over to the superintendent I'd like to begin my report this evening by reviewing this evening's agenda you will notice under administrative items that you will be approving the submission of two items that are done twice a year one is the submission of the power professional statement of assurance this assurance allows the county to know that our job descriptions for AIDS have not changed and provides them with information regarding whether the salaries for any of our AIDS are paid for with Title One funding which in our case is a no you also notice that we are approving the submission from the first half of the year for the school safety data report the data being reported to the New Jersey Department of education's Home Room digital platform includes one total Hib incident from July to December it was alleged but unfounded no incidents were founded four total restraint incidents all four involved physical restraint with zero seclusion nine HIV training programs s these include the mandated safe School virtual training on HIV and deescalation trainings of three new anti-bullying Specialists parent trainings and the specific work we've done with our lunch AIDS and six School culture programs these include um our initial assemblies on the way of the panther kindness bingo in October turkey grams in November special gifts program in December week of respect events and our social skills groups all also on the agenda you will have the opportunity to approve a new fourth grade teacher who is also an Ops graduate we are very excited to welcome Miss Meredith Carlin back to orell public school I also wanted to take an opportunity to follow up on some issues raised at our last board meeting all water fountains have been checked and are operational addition additionally we found out this week that our state required lead testing has also come back with no issues cited we will be purchasing one additional water filler finally our landscaper is scheduled to meet with us at the end of this week to discuss a plan for the Back Field I think he might be more excited than any of you I don't know in your folders this evening you will find a draft of a winter newsletter to go out the first week of February it does still need to be edited one more time however I did want to give you an opportunity to provide feedback before it gets distributed if you have any feedback please let me know before Monday when it goes to the printer Additionally you will see in that superintendent message of that newsletter it includes clud a brief description regarding the creation of the profile of an Ops graduate as a reminder the profile um we create Ask stakeholders to identify key attributes they want every Ops graduate to have this is in addition to the basic solid Educational Foundation that's expected by the New Jersey Department of Education so for example riverdale's portrait of a graduate speaks about integrity social intelligence Global collaboration and effective communication the loot newsletter will have directions for how community members can choose what attributes from a list provided they believe are most important for Ops graduates to have mastered the link is not yet live on that website on that newsletter however I will send it to you before the newsletter goes out and it is live the best way that I can explain profile of a graduate is that it's our North Star if we believe that critical thinking is a key attribute we want for all students when they graduate and that is one of our pieces that goes into our profile of a graduate then we have to look at our curriculum and we have to look at our daily routines and say what are we doing to accomplish that because when we create that profile of a graduate that becomes our Beacon that becomes everything we are working towards and it helps Focus us it helps us desde decide a little bit about resources where do we want to put our budgeting money and planning moving forward and finally we had a very productive professional day on Monday we did start the day at 10:00 to ensure that um all our staff could get here safely but it was a great day we had a representative from our new math resource here all the way from Nashville to work with our fourth and fifth grade teachers we had CPR instructors here to work with all of our AIDS we also had some of our own staff share knowledge that they recently learned in graduate school classes they took regarding the inclusion of movement and kinesthetic learning in the classroom all staff members also had time to work on their new Google site that will link to the district's new website and app the development of the site is moving along and I think we will be ready to meet with the pr committee next week to see the initial designs and that concludes my report thank you Mr aell Miss boie stole a little my thunder regarding the uh lead results the testing so I will just go over what they said we are below the 15 parts per billion that's the actionable level so all the drinking Outlets are safe to be used and that uh dat that data the results the chain of custody will be posted on the website and that concludes my report thank you moving on to minutes we have the review of January 7th and the approval of December 11th do I have a motion I a motion and we approve the minutes of

special education could you explain that Mr iell would you like to take that if we had 40 or more students right it would be worthwh to submit and we would get monies towards the budget but since we do not have anyone and the numbers are so low um the amount of effort for what we would receive would be it would be 40 students who receed Medicaid and we don't have that we have presently correct so we don't have that the majority of our students have health insurance we collect that information at the beginning of the year okay so what happens to those students that are still here those 40 students they're taking care of but we don't have 40 students so we can't actually it wouldn't be worth us to apply they wouldn't get any of that money we would get money back okay and what would we what do we do with the money it would go towards the budget how much how much do we get per student we don't I don't we don't have any students so it's not even that we don't have 40 we don't have any students we do collect that information at the beginning of the year and we do not have any students that have we actually don't have any students who are identified as free and reduced lunch right

um Minister commission Commissioner of education so um there have been questions that have already been sent to the Comm the assistant commissioner um and they'll be talking about um many items that are of concern to all of us in the buron county um Mrs Walker just an aside to the county meetings they are enjoyable most all of them are there's always good interaction between the presenter and the people that are attending I find I I don't go to everyone but um I do find if you can and it's hard to find that time to go go to a meeting or two it is it's you get to see different people do you know why it's virtual this time I I think it's virtual because they set it up with the they they originally asked the commissioner um and but I think that because of the time of year and the possibility of weather interfering they wanted to be sure that they could still have the meeting so they went with virtual for this time um but that's really I think the only reason oh it's not going to be oh it's virtual total yeah it's virtual there is no in inperson part of it generally it's a it's uh part um virtual and part you you have that option to yeah you have options but this year this month is only virtual any other older new business Mr Del Greco yeah new business quick question do we typically get e rate yes we do I don't know if you're aware um because of what happened with um that yeah power school now there's a cyber security initiative where you can use eate money to use it for firewalls or any sort of cyber security related so I'm not sure if we're leveraging that or
