>> All right. Now, we're up to unfinished business. Um, at the last meeting, we talked about the healthc care resolution that school boards had um distributed out. Mrs. Delave, since that's under communications, do you want
to go through that now? Yeah. Yeah, sure. Should I do my committee mean the whole thing or just Okay. All right. Well, because it ties into what our unfinished business was. Um, the communications committee was asked to take a look at the at the resolution. So, the communications
committee met on May 18th, 2026. Present were myself, um, uh, Mr. Shaw, Dr. Wright, Miss Kogan, Dr. Chase, and Miss Ben Menos. Um, we reviewed the healthcare cost resolution from the New Jersey School Boards Association. um agreed to bring it forward to the board
for discussion under our old business. So um if everyone has taken time to review it, are there any further questions or discussions needed from the full board at this time? >> It it is on our bulletin tonight. So it
will be up for vote tonight. >> Yeah. So we we reviewed it and we felt it was sound and we were just going to insert our board name um in the in the blanks. Um, we felt it was important that everyone understand that we're trying to take a stand on the unfairness
of some of the healthcare costs that we definitely um took into consideration this budget cycle and we'll go further. Okay. Uh, we reviewed the refer random ideas from Westfield Public Schools. Um
the communications committee is um hopeful to get information out there to the public in the next upcoming cycles, years. Um just to keep the public aware and to make sure that we're transparent with what we're discussing. Um we
discussed further boards again um if the resolution from the board is approved tonight, we'll send that out to the public so they can everyone can take a look at the healthcare resolution itself. Any questions? >> Yeah, thank you. Um, I just had a
question on the resolution. So, just so I know what the ask is. The ask is where it says now therefore be resolved. We're asking the governor and state legislature to provide the relief that we need. Correct. >> That the I'm sorry, the what? the
governor and state legislature to provide immediate short-term relief, but they have to tell us. >> Yeah, this is basically us imploring them to do something. >> Okay. >> Um on behalf of >> So that's the ask. >> That's the ask. >> Okay. >> And can you just tell me when did
Westfield do their referendum? >> Two years ago. >> 2024. >> Two 2024. >> 2024. >> Any idea how long that took? Uh it was a um a presentation that they gave at one of the trainings. Um I believe Mr. Shaw and Dr. Chase can speak
more about that if if they'd like, but um it was just we wanted to discuss the takeaways of what we could bring here in participate if we chose to do something along those lines. >> Okay. Thank you. So, Michelle, I'm not familiar um I mean
um I'm not familiar with the uh timeline specifically that Westfield used, but I could I could speak to the fact that when and if the district is looking at a referendum to address some of the the the long-standing uh issues in the district or continue to move programs
forward. Uh there is a timeline that comes up pretty quickly because a lot of what is submitted needs to go to the state. Um so that would all be part of our communication outward. >> Anybody down here have a question? Mr.
Barriers, >> thank you. Uh all right. So Dr. Chase just brought up another thought in my head. So, that could be dangerous. But here we go. Um, on the resolution, assuming that it approves tonight, what was the next steps on
this? Was it going to go out right away or like was this going to be working in conjunction with other districts in Morris County or >> I believe the bottom paragraph says who it's to be distributed to, >> right? I saw that. >> So, that's basically where it's going to go. And then hopefully school boards
will report out that x amount of school boards, you know, pass this resolution. So we will be going before the legislature to advocate on behalf of all those districts. >> Correct. So I guess the it's it's a
smart list, I guess. Was again going back was this going to be sent out along with, you know, the other districts of Morris County or were we just going to all do our own thing? I guess the more the marrier, I guess, is what I'm trying to get at. >> I think we were all >> doing our own thing right now, but
hopeful that everybody was going to be doing that. And then we discussed my we discussed also hopefully reporting out how many people eventually did >> send okay >> um this resolution to this to the parties listed. >> Thank you. And just a quick question,
Dr. Chase. Um this uh air conditioning is blowing in the back of my head here. So I didn't hear everything. What was about the um the possible um referendum? >> So right now as as you know uh districts
are facing budget challenges and there are some long-standing facility issues that the board and and I am going to be speaking about. Uh some of those issues will not be able to be addressed through the general operating budget. So, one of the ways in which the district can
maintain their facilities and address some of those is through a referendum. The nice thing about addressing any kind of renovations through a referendum process is that the district will be eligible for up to 30% of a return on
any expenses of a project. That does not include any kind of new construction, which is why I believe the board was so fiscally responsible and diligent in their planning, which is why Littleton came out of the general operating budget. Um, but it's part of the
strategic work that we're doing to to continue to address long-standing facilities issues. Did that answer? >> I believe so. So I guess following up on that is there so that that school board's presentation
on referendums I don't remember when that was maybe the beginning of the year um they they kind of gave you a sample calendar so we'll be if this comes about will we be following that calendar or do we have thought on that or >> yeah well we would have to follow the calendar but as I said to the
communications committee the first thing and I asked Dr. MCHU to arrange for this is to bring in our bond council and our financial advisors so we could determine what type of um borrowing power the district has, what the rates would look
like, what the implications would be for uh the tax impact. So once that happens and the board starts working, there are certain points throughout the year and I don't recall them off the top of my head, but there are certain dates throughout the year that a that a district is able to actually go out for
a referendum. So, we would um get that information and then look at those calendars and use that as a guide. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So, we're officially still on unfinished business and I believe Miss Chappelle, you had >> I I do. Thank you very much. I just was
reminded that um earlier uh last week, I believe it was um there was a dashboard of the board goals that was circulated to everybody. Um that was the first time you saw that we said in our goals that we would create a dashboard so that we could um ensure that we had a view of
where we stood on those goals. That was just the first draft. It was definitely open to feedback. Uh so we um so please provide me with any feedback that you have so I can adjust the dashboard. Um and then we will recirculate it and discuss it openly during um unfinished
business at our next meeting. >> Thank you. >> Just a cotton Just a comment on that. So why wouldn't that something like that be discussed in a committee like either communications or or critical issues something like that and what we did our
board goals are our whole board's goals so that was just drafted by a few so it wasn't even in committee that's >> sorry the dashboard is a overview of the goals so there's nothing new created
it's just a representation of the goal goals and where they stand. And so again, nothing new. And I believe that when we created the goals, it was implied that it would be the leadership that would draft it and then together we would make sure that it would remain
current. >> Okay. >> So, nothing new there. >> Okay. >> All right. So, now we're up to >> Well, I I had some unfinished business. I'm sorry, Miss Coke. Um, so at last meeting, uh, we had a presentation from our NGSB rep about the, uh, evaluations.
Um, we've all received several emails about the evaluations. Um, um, I'm kind of curious what's our real timeline here because I'm saying I've heard one date of June 11th that we're going to have to review parts of part of one of them and I'm not seeing any other information
about what our timeline here is on this. I know there's there's two critical issues meetings coming up on the May 25th and and June uh June 9th, but I'm curious what's what's our I believe the only one that has official deadline is the superintendence evaluation and that
has to be um completed before July 11th. The the board evaluation um I believe the deadline there is no official deadline but the goal was to have it done and completed. So that when
we did our board goals in August, we were prepared and had all the information gathered up for that >> by our last the last >> by the last June meeting for both. >> Well, we usually do both by the way, >> right?
>> That that doesn't quite answer my question. So in previous years we've had a timeline. So I don't think and usually share with the full board. So, is there a is is there a timeline? Was there some sort of timeline set up by critical issues? I mean, I
>> Yes, it was sent out to everyone. It's delayed because we we were delayed with school board's presentation. >> We're waiting now for the evaluation to come back so critical issues can meet and then they'll meet with the full board hopefully before the June 11th
board meeting. >> Okay. >> The timeline you're speaking of, I've have not received. Pardon me. >> The timeline you're speaking of, I have not received. I don't know if anyone else can speak to >> No, this is the timeline. Do you do you receive >> you have one? Well, you're in critical issues, I would say, right?
>> This was sent to the critical issues committee in the end of March. >> So, was it sent to the full board? >> Matt, Mrs. Bennis, can you just resend it tomorrow just to make sure that everybody has it?
>> Thank you. Okay. >> Okay. You have a >> um we're now up to committee reports and we did the communications committee. So, that one is done. Uh Dr. Wright, do you want to do teaching and learning? >> Yes, please. Uh the teaching and
learning committee met uh on the 11th. Uh present were myself, uh Mrs. Delave, Mrs. Abraham, Mrs. Co Kogan, and Dr. Molr. Um and we had two agenda items. Uh the first was to review the um robust uh set of offerings for our summer programs
um that are offered around the district from um ones that are open to the community such as wild world of summer uh through enrollment and that's private pay to those grant funded programs and we have um A through L that we reviewed um as long as in addition to their
goals. uh the uh board can uh go into a spreadsheet and review each of those programs uh a little more in depth by clicking on the link that was shared in the agenda. Um uh and we also followed up kind of
asking the uh Dr. asking Dr. from Maroon to provide us with uh a spreadsheet kind of tracking what are the ultimate goals of these summer programs and the communities that they are serving and how we can assess their success. Uh and
the second agenda item um was really was a board agenda item. Uh we looked at the board goal um uh I'll for our audience I'll remind we had a board goal this year um that for the district to achieve an increase in mathematics proficiency for each uh delineated subgroup as
measured by the NJSLA testing by 2029. So, this is a long-term goal. And so, we're kind of thinking about how we as a board can support increased student achievement. And uh we chose mathematics to look at um uh just based on um previous data that had shown not that we
were behind, but rather that might be an area of support. And so, um how we as a board might support that. So uh that TLC was going to identify additional data additional data to inform um what standards might need to be addressed and what interventions were being done and
so that we can provide effective uh support for that. And so we discussed in committee the other day um uh what kinds of interventions are being done and then also how the teaching and learning committee which kind of hears about
these interventions uh on an ongoing basis from the administration. how we can effectively communicate that both to the rest of the board and to the public to ensure um that the kind of excellent and ongoing work that's happening in the
district is both being supported and being seen by the public. Um and so one of the things we have uh uh asked for there is that in the next year um we are hoping so this might kind of bleed into next year's board goals which obviously
we might change um but might be a good idea to uh take a closer look at attendance trends um since COVID chronic absenteeism has been a challenge for school districts across the country. Um,
PCIP is not out of um the the range, but it has been up from where it was previously. And so, uh, we thought it might be a useful place for the board to spend some time uh, focus our data um, analysis and figure out if there are
ways that we as a board can support the district. Thank you. Any questions? Thank you. So, first off, um I see in the attendance here it was yourself, Miss Ms. Dev, Miss M Miss Kogan, and um
and Mrs. Abraham with Dr. Mul Rooney. Um first, my first question, I guess, is um I was Dr. Chase unavailable. I'm curious why she wasn't in attendance. That's that's one. But, uh additionally, I have other questions here. the the agenda
originally sent to the full board. The second agenda item was something totally different just dealing with summer assignments for our middle high school students. And so I reviewed that and I had hyperlinks like you said to be able to look at more depth on that. And then lo and behold, I'm seeing these minutes
and this is an item I was not expecting to speak of, but I I seem need to do so now. Um what was doesn't this is very kind of cryptic as far as what you're explaining of what what are at risk
groups what sort of attendance trends are you really looking to get what what what sort of academic need for some of this data that the board needs to have I I'm this is something that's really treads more on the line of what the administration needs to do not not
something the board needs to really be involved with a whole lot so I'm really kind kind of curious why why this was brought up for discussion. I mean, our our our goal was to try and help increase mathematics proficiency. This is kind of delineating a far very far away from that. And I'm I'm really
concerned that this is going into areas where we're out of our lane where board members are being rather lane here. So, can can someone explain where where this is really coming from? Thank you. >> Uh, as the chair of committee, I'd be glad to respond. Um, I can't speak to I actually don't know where Duster Chase
was. She doesn't uh she doesn't always come to TLC. I think when she's available she does. Uh I asked um based on the you know kind of actually thinking of the dashboard was like ah yes TLC has this uh has this goal we
should kind of revisit that and see where we are on things. And so I had actually asked Miss Benos to add um this data question uh to the agenda after the agenda was originally I think I think the timeline on that is after it was
initially uh circulated. Um and uh so I think there are a couple of parts that might respond there. one. I mean, I am very open and trust the administration to inform the committee when we are treading into administering the district. And if the administration
feels that we are when we are making these requests pushing too hard, I would, you know, I'm not looking to uh overstep what and this from my recollection of the conversations that we had when we established these boards
goals uh was that the board needs to know certain things and understand certain things in order to provide effective oversight. Um, regarding the kind of narrowing on on attendance, uh, again, so since COVID,
nationwide, chronic absentee rates, uh, have gone up. Uh, in the district, we have um, I believe about an 8% uh, chronic absenteeism challenge and we have been cited by the state in a few particular locations. Uh, and when
students are not in school, they're not learning. There's a lot of research that shows that chronic absenteeism does affect uh standardized test scores. And if there are reasons that our children are not able to attend school, um I
think it's useful for the district and for us as a board to know and see if there are places where there might be appropriate interventions. Does that mute meet your need? >> And can I just answer I believe the the
summer reading list Um >> right was not quite finished yet. So it was going to be discussed at the next time which is why >> we are still working. >> Yeah. Um Dr. Chase, would you like to add anything? >> Um first, Mr. Dvito, um if you have any
question about my attendance at anything, I'd be happy to discuss that with you. Um but just for the record, I have a very well competent team here that I correspond with regularly in advance of any meeting. So although I may not be in attendance, I'm aware of what happens and I also follow up on the back end. But again, I'm happy to talk
to you in a private forum. Secondly, um I'm just going to echo the sentiments. uh when I came into the district, this was a board goal and just from an academic and instructional perspective, it would be negligent of us to ignore any of the areas that were discussed,
attendance, um demographics of students, uh because we wouldn't be able to identify any patterns or trends in regard to mathematics achievement. So that's where when I inherited this goal, I naturally believed that when looking at achievement in any kind of content
area, those things would be part of the discussion. So I kind of echo what um Dr. Wright had said in that area and that's where I saw it coming from. And if I can add in terms of identifying um potentially at risk groups uh in our discussions during those board goals, we
uh looked at those uh CAT characteristics that are tracked by the state. Um and so we're taking data that the district already produces in some ways uh and that the state has
determined are relevant um points of uh relevant points of analysis. Anybody else? >> Okay. >> Sorry, >> Mrs. Abraham. >> Yeah. Um, just to kind of echo what was
already said. Um, yes, we did have a change in the agenda. Uh initially it was just the summer programs and then yes it was changed to the the book list and then afterward it was shared to uh it was changed to the summer programs
again with the addition of this um second question. Um if I don't know what was distributed to the rest of the board. So I'm assuming that there was if it I don't know which agenda was sent out by the time the
>> the only agenda we had was the item two was the summer reading list. That's it. >> Okay. >> So we we not we not know follow agenda because it was sent the day of the meeting. So I didn't think there would be a followup. Um, as far as the second question, I know that we discussed it uh
at length, although I I tend to like longer minutes. So, I always tend to lean towards longer minutes and more transparency. And I kind of wish that this was longer because we did discuss for quite a while um what how to achieve
this board goal. We focused on OI. We focused on certain concerns like MTSS, INRS. Um talked about disparities, economic disparities, race and division, whether it tells us a lot of information. Uh I know in the past we
did do the math and math subgroup data. I think it was part of uh I forgot where it was in my notes, but we did definitely discuss that last year. Uh, as far as some of the interventions, I think the goal was to kind of coalate it so that the board can understand exactly what is being discussed in committee.
So, not to sound like a broken record, but in order to do that, I would really prefer that we try to be as transparent as possible in our minutes. I know it's just for us, but um, and then we also talked about, you know, I guess we talked about INRS. We talked about
attendance like Dr. Wright mentioned. uh we talked about gathering these reports in an OI. Uh some of the questions that may have come up which I don't know if you share the same thoughts would be what is the goal of getting these reports? What are
we planning to achieve or use the data for? Um you know if the state is asking for it uh is it something that's already provided? uh basically what are we you know how are we going to use this data to benefit our district and I guess one
of the questions that do um Mr. Devito is asking is whether this benefits the board to ask these questions or whether it's administrative uh level ask I guess um the other thing
I wanted to kind of mention was um correct me if I'm wrong Dr. Right. But we were talking about preparing a chart and breaking down the attendance by grade, race, and gender. Is that correct? >> So, I'm not reading any
>> if that's the uh chart that's going to be created. If there's any questions around that, I guess that would be helpful. But again like this I would have liked to see more more information in the minutes so that we can go into more information about who are the at
risk groups and what is the information we're looking for um in the attendance trends as well and in discussing the student achievement I know like I said earlier we did discuss student achievement in the uh multi-learner subgroups I think that's what we looked
at the math ones last year sometime uh might have been in the fall So I just wanted to see if you know whether these kind of when we're going back to discuss these things perhaps we should uh try to be a little bit more detailed but
um I know that we definitely discussed the student achievement for math in the subgroup math which Dr. Kimarooni did provide that. Um and so we did and we also I think um we talked about chronic absenteeism in March as well and we discussed the
grants in OI and INRS again in April. And so I guess in terms of what I was able to look up about chronic absenteeism, it seems like from what I've seen uh there was an article in December called Closing the Attendance
Gap: How New Jersey Compares to Peer States by Patricia Walsh. And according to that uh particular article, it was noted that at least in 2023 24 that New Jersey was number two with the lowest chronic absentee rates with 14.9%.
Um and so there was also some talk about whether it did go up significantly during co years and then came back down. Uh I believe that in 2019 to 2020 that maybe absenteeism wasn't being recorded dur due to COVID and due to being home,
but some of these um data that we're looking for by demographic is already part of this article uh that I was able to look up. So at least from 23 24 I don't know if there's any data for 25 just yet, but for New Jersey for um they
do have it broken out by historically underserved groups. So, Hispanic and Latino, black or African-American economically disadvantaged and students with disabilities. So, I don't know if that will help us um get this data and then use it for our future meeting so
that we can um continue to achieve this goal that we have. But I just wanted to take a moment to say all this because I think it's really important that if we're saying that we want the rest of the board to really understand what we're saying that we should take the first step and try to be as transparent
and as detailed as possible when we're presenting our minutes back to them. Thank you. Uh I was at the at the meeting and it was just my understanding that we were you were we're all brainstorming ways that it would benefit everybody to look at certain data from that we can gather from the district to
help support the goal of the student achievement. Dr. Moroni offered to help us out with that goal. We talked about attendance especially looking at our district attendance and what go what what student groups that might be affecting here in Paripany. Right.
>> That was my understanding um at our meeting and I I feel like that says that though in our the minutes >> I don't disagree. I just think that the minute should reflect that. >> But I in my I I think it the second one is kind of a nice summary in my and then this is I think this is the discussion
that comes from that summary and I think that's >> in my opins if >> I mean well first of all the the attendance data we have to see the data first right before we can even discuss. Okay. But guys, all we're Mrs. Abraham,
>> Mrs. Abraham, >> they've gone through their report. You've made it clear what you would like to see. However, this is this is the beginning of a process. The whole goal isn't supposed to be done for 3 years. So, there's no way we're going to get
into the weeds on the on the committee minutes that are a summary of what we're aiming for. So I understand you've you've brought up your points. Mrs. Delave has said, you know, we're trying to give the general idea of what went on
in the committee and that is what happened and we're aiming for something that's not we didn't give ourselves a goal for for 2029. So there's going to be plenty of time to figure out exactly what's going to be looked at, but we put it as our board goal, which is why we're
trying to achieve the board goal. the board decided that that was a goal and >> right >> assigned it to teaching and learning to try to get us to that goal. >> Right. >> Okay. >> Anybody else? Mr. Chappelle. >> And just to clarify, the expectation is that as that committee makes progress,
they'll be bringing that and presenting it to the board. So, as they work through these points, we will hear more detail. Right. >> Mr. Marius. >> Thank you. Um, I'm sure this will get cleared up at
some point in time, but my original understanding of the goal and this conversation right now, I'm just a little confused in my head. So maybe it's some process if maybe we could
just re um share the goal again so that everybody has an opportunity that and that goal alone just so we're clear because again I got it. It makes sense to me, but there was just in some of the conversations I was kind of like, wait a
minute. Are we getting is this becoming too much of a a different item than I originally thought it was going to be? And it's probably not, but I just wanted to >> The goal is written at the top of the minutes. So, the goal is on every committee minutes,
>> right? I agree with you. Yes, you are correct. That's why I'm a little confused at the conversation we're having. >> Yes. Yes. Okay. So we are still on committee reports. Uh Mr. Barios, you had a policy
report. >> Thank you. Uh policy met on uh May 18th, 2026 in attendance were myself uh Miss Delave, Mr. Devito, President Kogan,
Superintendent Dr. Chase, Miss Benos. Uh so we discussed the following uh policies and bylaws. Bylaw 0162, notice of board meetings that was revised. Bylaw 0162.01,
legal notices. That's a new policy. Policy 5561, use of physical restraints and seclusion techniques for students and with disabilities. That's revised. Policy 66 6112, reimbursement of federal and other grant expenditures. That's
revised. 611501 federal awards funds internal controls allowable of cost that's a new policy 611502
is uh is the revised to the uh polic I'm sorry the first one was the regulation that's new the second one's the policy which is revised and the and the last one is policy 6311 contacts for goods and services funded
by federal grants that was revised and that is my report. >> Do you have any questions for Mr. Barios? Okay. Um I believe the only other committee report is buildings and grounds. Mrs. Abraham. >> Um thank you. Building and grounds was
the committee of the whole on April 28th. So all of us were there. Um and the obviously the the three items that we discussed with the help of uh Paret Somjen we discussed Littleton school projects and they were able to give us an update on that. In addition to that
we discussed the decommissioning of solar panels and the PHS transformer and that was that was it. If there's any updates on that I guess ask Dr. uh Steve sorry
Are there any questions on our buildings and grounds minutes? All right. We usually do le Oh, this is Dr. Wright. Um uh in the regards to Littleton, um is do we have a sense of uh when the the the
parking lot expansion is is phase two, right? Is that do we know when in the project they're going to do that parking lot expansion? Is that a beginning or ending part? >> I'm trying to remember. Um, I know that we were given that print, it was a uh
PowerPoint presentation, >> Dr. McHugh should probably answer. >> I thought you >> So, the parking lot will begin next spring after the thaw, but they won't do the final pave until within a few weeks of removing the project in case they happen to have equipment or large trucks
drive on it, they want to damage it. So, it's completely done in line within the summer of 27, but they'll mark it out and and get the curb stuff in much earlier than that. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Okay, now we have liaison reports. Mr.
Shaw, did you have a liazison report you'd like to give? >> Uh, two reports. uh one uh was a fortunate enough to attend the guru vandina event uh that paid excellent tribute to all the teachers um the
students uh from the center uh HSS and Sri Krishna um mission uh they actually did arty and puja to the teachers of uh districts um from Paripony Montville and
they uh also will seek their blessings by touching their feet um and you know for better teaching. So all around great uh respects for the teachers. I did see some teachers cry because of the respects they achieved and such and I was also fortunate to share my teaching
uh story as well. So great and I know there is another active another function on June 6. So I encourage the board members just to visit and uh observe uh the respect. The second one was uh was able to attend uh the NJSBA
virtual spring conference with Mrs. Chappelle and Mrs. Mayor. Um it was all around great information, amazing information, some of it which was already distributed uh to the committees. Uh one the presentation on
Westfield and how to prevent the fiscal cliff um and early on. Um second presentation was with uh grants and vendors using state aid for facilities and transportations and there were some
great um vendor communication that we can reach out to to help out and assess uh for those state aids. Um they did say it's kind of like first come first serve. So do it as soon as possible
because they're they're going to run out. Then um AI implementation again great uh again you can we can take advantage of state aids uh if we go through the partner that Google uses. And finally uh spotting fraud and red
flags. That was another great one uh that we can review and they stated that they have caught the most uh fraud uh in when it's up to the cash business like you know uh sporting events where we tell
our students to sell candies and such. So there goes a lot of um I would say undocumented uh collections as well as reimbursement. So, um I don't know if we have a policy, but we can obviously look at it
thereafter. Um that's about it. Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Mrs. Abraham. >> Any questions? >> Just the golf which you you Thank you. Um on May 12th, um several of us were uh fortunate enough to attend the Tomas um
golf outing and dinner. And I just wanted to reiterate once more how wonderful it is to attend. Um we all enjoy it. I don't golf but uh many others do and um it is a wonderful initiative that uh continues to grow and it was a beautiful day so really lucked
out with not having rain and the dinner as always is fantastic. Um we do have to figure out how to sit in a proper way so that we can at least win one raffle because we seem to never be winning anything but uh but it's okay. I think uh Miss Mayor I think won something. So
that was good. And uh so but it was always a wonderful enjoyable uh very relaxed uh dinner and something we look forward to every year. So thank you Mrs. Mayor. >> I just have a quick a few quick reports.
Um I handed out to the board um the results of the delegate assembly. Um everything I voted according to what we had discussed. The only resolution that did not pass was the rank choice voting. There was a very lengthy debate. I think
a lot of the problem was people didn't understand how it worked. Um and the resolution was just to see to make it available and then if your board was entertaining the idea and then you would go and make sure you understood how to
use it. I think that that kind of got fluffed off. It it was a long discussion, but it did not pass. Um the rest did pass with uh the resolution two um was amended a little bit to include
uh grounds being safe havens for students and grounds includes buses. And number three was about the pilots and the additional language was there, but the rest of them uh did not have any amendments to the language.
Any questions about those? >> I don't have a question, but I just wanted to say thank you for providing us with this update. Um I was just wondering, do they provide a video of the delegate assembly at all? >> I don't think so. No, that's too bad cuz
it would be nice to watch. But um >> there is >> it's rather lengthy. I'm not sure you want to give up a half. >> No, I I watched Well, I participated in the online version one time. Um but it was very interesting. And uh the other question, the other thing I was going to ask was not ask but say was that in our
emails, we get a lot of NJSBA related emails that we might not always see every single thing. We get tons of emails. Um, one of the NJSBA emails does have uh, amongst many other topics, they
also discuss how the delegate assembly went. So, they do have a rather detailed um, not that this is not, but uh, their own version rather detailed about how the uh, meeting itself went and what they called it was a spirited debate.
So, um I don't doubt that, but if anybody was interested, our emails do have some really good things in there if we're not deleting them sometimes. >> Yeah, this was just to give you a quick snapshot. Um >> yeah, thank you. >> Yeah, Mrs. Kogan and I were in wrapped
attention there. Um the next thing was that for no more questions about this. Uh then Mrs. Kogan and I attended the mentor training program which is new. Uh it's just starting. This was the first meeting that was had. The next meeting,
I forget when that will be. Um they're going to assign um new board members to mentors and it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be in your district. It could be in another district to kind of guide them a little bit. Um it was very
interesting. Uh there were it was very well attended and I'm looking forward to the actual beginning of it. I think they're going to wait until they have the next meeting to get the next crop of people into it. But I thought it was really good and I'm looking forward to
doing that. Any questions about that? Okay. The next thing I have is the um Target Teach. I went to the Target Teach uh ceremony at the Hills which was awesome.
I mean it has grown and it has taken on a life of its own. Um it was very uh moving. The students, the target teach students got like co cords and their their teachers were there with them. Um
and it really gives them a leg up. You know, I remember years ago when I had a target teach student, they didn't make such a big deal. You know, congratulations, nicely done, but this was great. and the kids the the students were talking about how meaningful it was
to be in the classroom and to really feel comfortable. So I was really glad to be there. Um the next last thing I think yeah it's the mini grants um presentations. Mrs. Kogan and I were there to watch um the
many grants being um discussed and I am always so impressed with these teachers that go above and beyond, you know, like they don't have enough to do, you know, they always go and and figure something else out that will be benefiting their students and it's just so rewarding to
see and they're they come to the meeting and they're excited to explain it. They're they're all jazzed about it and you can't help but be proud that they're in our district. Really? Um and I think that's it. Sorry.
>> No, I agree. The mini grants presentation is always wonderful to see. Does anybody down on this end have a lesson on report or anything they'd like to report out? >> Okay, Miss Chappelle, did you have >> um I did attend the ESC meeting last week. Uh there's just standard business,
nothing of significance to report. Okay. All right. So, we are up to approval of the regular and executive minutes of May 7th, 2026. May I have a motion? Uh Mr. Devito and a second. Dr. Wright. Roll
call. >> Mrs. Abraham. >> Yes. >> Mr. Barios. >> Yes. Mrs. Delave, >> yes. >> Mr. Devito, >> yes. >> Mrs. Mayor, >> yes. >> Mr. Shaw, >> yes. >> Dr. Wright, >> yes.
>> Mrs. Chappelle, >> yes. >> Mrs. Kogan, >> yes. Now, we have the superintendent bulletin number 17, Dr. Chase. Okay. Um, you may have recalled that this past year because of Governor Murphy's election to governor, we hosted some
elections um that were in many of our schools. So, prior around surrounding that event, we were collaborating with the township and Miss Benos and I had spoken to them uh about the potential of removing some of the voting in some of our schools, which is not something we
can control as a district, but we voiced our concern to the township and I guess they were able to speak to the county and I'm very happy to report that we although it's not out of all of our schools, um East Lake, Troy Hills, and Northvale will not have any will not be polling locations. you've probably
already, some of you have received your polling location information and noticed some changes. So, um, even though we have testing and polling in other schools, we've done a great job partnering with the township. So, again, we've had two safety, you know, two very
safe elections, I don't anticipate anything happening, but just having it out of these schools is nonetheless helpful, and we really I wanted to thank the township for their help in getting that done. Mrs. Mayor, you spoke about the two things I was going to mention, which was Target Teach and and the mini grants. And I just want to echo those
sentiments that um not only was it inspiring to see the students who were arising to be aspiring teachers, but earlier in the year, I attended a Target Teach event where our admins were being interviewed by the
staff, by the the students who were in the program. And it was interesting to me to know that we actually have some admins who were also in the target teach program. So there's proof of concept here. Um and it's a great wonderful program. And um the many grants as I
said to the I'm just blown away. It's teaching is a very um timeconuming thing to do and and to be innovative and to go above and beyond is just speaks to the passion and the dedication that these folks put into their work. And both of those were
exceptional events that I was happy to attend. And tonight for your approval, we have superintendent bulletin items 1 through 68, addendum item 69 and readins. Thank you. >> Are there any questions on the superintendent's bulletin?
All right. Then we have the secretar's report. Dr. McHugh. >> Okay. Under the the business and finance section, we have motions 30 through 68, which includes your April board secretary and finance reports as well as
your annual renewals. And that's 30 through 68. And I think the total number of motions are 88 with the readins and the the motion that we had handed out today. >> Do we have any questions on the secretar's report?
All right. I don't think there was any new business to come before the board. So, we are now at the hearing of the public. At this time, if there is anyone who would like to address the board, please come up, sign your name and address in the book at the lectern and state your name for the record. Please
address the chair. Each person will have three minutes to speak to the board. It would be helpful if you'd like to address the board to please come up now and sign in so you're ready when the first speaker is finished. As a reminder, we are video recording this meeting. If you are a student who wishes
to speak, we ask that you not provide your home address, but rather give only the name of the town in which you live. If you are a parent wishing to address, wishing to discuss a specific matter pertaining to your child during this portion of the meeting, you may request that the board temporarily suspend the
video recording. Alternatively, please consider speaking privately about the matter to the superintendent after the meeting. Speakers should refrain from using specific student or staff names in their comments and are referred to bylaw 168 for further information regarding
the videotaping of our meetings. >> Ask for the video to come off. >> Thank you. I'm asking for the vide tape to come off. >> I do have a private issue. >> We're just Let me just make sure I get some motion in the back that they heard to suspend the video for
Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to address the board? >> Please don't forget to sign in. >> I I did. >> Okay. >> Um I don't mind on camera. >> Okay. I wrote it down so I can stay within my three minutes. Um
>> just tell us your name too. >> Yes. So good evening board members. My name is Eka Patel and my husband who's not here today, his name is Dulles and we are parents of Devon Patel, a fifth grade student at um
Littleton Elementary. I'm here tonight because I'm deeply saddened by what my son and our family have experienced over the last four and a half years at Littleton Elementary. Since first grade, we have received
repeated reports regarding Devon's behavior, behavior charts, bus suspensions, peer struggles, classroom concerns, HIV investigations.
As parents, we consistently worked with the school administrative team, supported the staff, and addressed our concerns at home that came to our plate about our son. We're not the parents that'll say, "My child would never do
that." Okay. What is heartbreaking is despite years of documented behavior behavioral concerns, no one meaningfully suggested that Devon may need a comprehension psychological
or neurosychological evaluation. During these four years, my husband and I opened and operated our child care parallel to them and being at Littleton Center. Through working with children every day, we learned about developmental delays, behavioral differences, and importance of early
intervention. We understand schools are not diagnosticians, but we also know educators have a responsibility to recognize when behaviors may indicate something deeper and guide families toward appropriate
resources. Ironically, after only four years in childcare ourselves, we independently recognized that Devon needed additional help and s outside evaluations on our own. Those evaluations revealed frontal lobe
executive functioning def deficits and ultimately a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. What is also concerning is that the teachers and the staff do receive training regarding recognizing special needs and identifying children who may
require additional support. One very known sign is difficulty forming and maintaining friendships. Demond does not have any friends. Why didn't that spark greater concern earlier?
Why did years of behavioral struggles not lead to a deeper conversations about what may truly been have been going on? Only after these outside evaluations did the district implement a 504 plan. Even then, even then many recommended
accommodations were were minimized or dismissed. >> Ma'am, >> wait one second. Is there anybody else who would like to address the board? >> I sent an email to the board. >> Okay. Just wait one second. >> Sure. >> Okay. Since there's nobody else, you get
an additional minute if you'd like to finish up. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Why are we fighting every day turned simply to get our child appropriate support? At one point, we were advised to allow Devon to fail academically and stop helping him with homework. As
parents, we cannot accept that approach. Our son is now suffering emotionally, experiencing depression after years of feeling misunderstood rather than supported. We are not asking special treatment. We are asking the district to recognize the whole as a whole child. A
child can academically be capable while still struggling emotionally, behaviorally, and neurologically. I do I do want to acknowledge Mrs. Papas who made meaningful connection with Devon and made him feel understood and safe. I also want to point out that despite
everything Devon had gone through, he still loves his school so much, he raif raised $1,500 for his class during the fund run to support his field trips and class activities. Yet, after years of struggles, criticism, there have never
been a moment of recognition for him. Praise and encouragement to go along way children, especially children who constantly being told what they are doing wrong. At this time, the CST team has scheduled a meeting with us on June 3rd to determine whether an IEP is
warranted despite Devon's neuroscychologically already recommended one based on extensive finding and evaluation. My husband and I will attend the meeting with our FSO and CMO support contacts and we sincerely hope after reviewing Deon's reports and hearing our
concerns tonight, the district will finally provide him with the IP and support he truly needs. If speaking tonight can help even one other child or parent to avoid this experience then it is worth it. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you.
>> All right. Seeing no one else we will close the public session. We are up to the roll call vote for superintendent bulletin number 17, items number 1 through 68 with addendum items
69 through 88 and readins. May I have a motion, please? >> Uh, Mr. Shaw, a second. Mrs. uh, Delave, roll call. >> Mrs. Abraham, >> yes. >> Mr. Barios
recuse on 2577 and bill list item number 10290. Yes to everything else. >> 10290. >> Yes. >> All right. Okay. Mrs. Delave.
>> Uh yes to everything except number 88. No to 88. >> Mr. Mr. Devito. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Mayor, >> yes. >> Mr. Shaw, >> yes. >> Dr. Wright, >> no. On 88, yes to the arrest.
>> Mrs. Chappelle >> recuse from 50, 55, 56, 69, and yes to everything else. >> And Mrs. Kogan, >> yes.
All right. There being no further business, I need a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Devito. All in favor? >> Meeting is adjourned.
