Miss Gonzalez, you want to go? Good evening. I'm Emma Gonzalez from Parcipony High School and I'm so excited to share this week's past events with you. With one more week until spring break, our school cannot contain their excitement. Our Parcipony High School PTSA is running a clothing and shoe
drive fundraiser. It's running from April 8th to April 10th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. You can drop off your items at the PHS Redhawk Trail. They're accepting anything from clothing to diapers and backpacks to utens utensils. Our student
council is currently collecting community service hours from all of our respective clubs in order to receive a community smiles award from the NJASC. It is one of the many things our school is proud of representing. As of now, our junior class representative for
Girl State has been chosen. As one of the 15 delegates from Morris County, our school is so excited to have this representative in the program. We are so grateful for this opportunity. Coming closer to the end of the year, our honor societies are beginning to induct the next year's members. Our National Honor
Society induction is on April 23rd and our World Language Honor Society induction is on the 30th. At our school, our principal, Mrs. Karuchi, sent out some information on eligible voters within our school and how to apply since it's NJ High School voter registration week. I think that more schools like
history classes should include more information on voting and how to get students involved. Something our school would like to recognize and call attention to is the creation of the book LDO by Shaun Hanssbury. This book has been able to call attention to what hearing loss looks like for students.
This book is extremely inspirational and educational for young students and it is something that the PH PTHSD is trying to teach middle schools. There's been a documentary posted about the book and it's something that every individual should check out. With
breadstock coming up soon, we are opening the ability for businesses and organizations to come and purchase either a booth sponsorship or activity sponsorship to connect with the community and promote their businesses. As of now, our school's ICC
show last Friday was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and they are planning to reschedule it sometime mid. We cannot wait to see everything our peers have worked on. We are so proud of all of them. For our Parcipony High School sports, our boys Paripony High School golf team had their match against
the Hills with a close loss of 203 to 204. Our school does look forward to facing our rivals. Our girls golf team had a game at Montville on Tuesday with a 226 to 260 loss. Our girls lacrosse team
had a game at Lenipe Valley on Monday with a 16-3 loss. However, tomorrow they have a game at Irvington at 400 p.m. We wish them the best of luck. Our boys baseball team had a game at Morris Tech on Tuesday and won 11-0 and another win versus Morris Tech on Wednesday with a
76 win. We are so proud. They have their next game at Butler at 11:00 a.m. this Saturday. We wish all of our spring sports the best of luck. Thank you so much. Thank you. Good evening all. Let's get started with this one's wiking report.
Starting off with essential student council updates. The student council is preparing for the spring pep rally which will be held on April Friday, April 4th. Planning is in full swing from selecting fun and competitive games to finalizing the script and music playlist. We're aiming to end the year strong on a high note by boosting school spirit and
celebrating our student athletes and clubs. We're also celebrating spring break and national library week by organizing another spirit week. In in addition to our pep rally and spirit week, we're also wrapping up our NJASC spring award nominations for the upcoming conference at Six Flags. We
hope to have our school student council recognized at the state level for for our leadership and service. Moving on to other PHS events and updates. Here's some highlights from events and initiatives happening throughout PHS. Our STEM family exploration night was held on April 4th in the gymnas in the
gymnasium where families explored hands-on science, tech, engineering, and math exhibitions. Thanks to our amazing STEM teachers and local professionals for making and thanks to our amazing STEM teachers and local professionals for making learning fun and interactive.
Junior Prom is right around the corner and will be held on April 25th. Students are encouraged to submit paperwork to their class adviserss and make final arrangements as the big night approaches. As part of our school's cultural celebrations, students have been rehearsing for the ICC Indian Cultural
Show, which will be held on May 2nd. It's a fantastic display of music, dance, and Indian heritage that will be open to all. On the academic side, NJSLA testing for 9th and 11th graders will take place from April 28th to May 1st. Students will be assessed in ELA, math,
and science depending on grade level and course enrollment. The class of 2025 is running a t-shirt quilt fundraiser to raise money for senior events. $25 e-cards valued at $50 are available for purchase through April 25th. 100% of the
proceeds go go directly towards the class of 2025 fund. We're also looking ahead to Relay for Life taking place on May 10th from 400 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the PHS track. We invite everyone, students, staff, and community members to join team Wiking Nation and support the
American Cancer Society in their fight against cancer. All right, moving on to PHS athletic updates. Everyone who wants to stay updated on Wiking sports scores, achievements, and events should follow the Parhill Sports Instagram page at Parhills Athletics. Here are some upcoming Wiking
games and events. April 10th, boys golf versus Menum at Null West Country Club at 3:30 p.m. Boys tennis versus Mount Olive at 400 p.m. April 12th, Wintergard Championships at Stab Stabler Arena performing at 1:50 p.m. Best of luck to
all of our teams as they compete. And that's going to be it for this month's PHS report. Thank you. Great. Thank you very much. Do we have any questions for our students? Mrs. Mayor, um you mentioned that um PHS at the track they're having something. Yes. What was
the date on that? May 10th. I'll just double check real quick. Okay. And May 10th from 4 to 4 to 10 p.m. Thank you. Yes. And I was just going to highlight one more thing. Um so for for the Hills, um I went over and I saw the Dance of the
Muses exhibit at the Lakeland Hills Family YMCA. It's running from April 4th to June 15th. strongly encourage you if you get a chance to go over there and see it. It's some got some incredible artwork. We really have some talented students. So encourage you all to go see that.
Thank you students. Thank you. Thank you so much. Is there any correspondence to come before the board? No, there's not. Is there any unfinished business that anybody has? I know I put the budget on there. Obviously, we have a few more
weeks to ask about the budget. So, just a reminder to all the board members. And now we're up to committee reports. Uh, Mrs. Abraham, you have sports. Thank you. Sports met on April 1st.
Present were Mr. Barios, Mrs. Mayor, Mrs. Kogan, Mr. Ricker, Mrs. Benos, Mr. D. Bernard, Mr. Huff, Mr. from both high schools, and myself. We begin Bernard and Mr. Huff began with their winter sports updates for both PHS and PHS
respectively. We went on to have an update on open booster and coach positions. Currently, the coaching positions are PHS head football and PHS head cheer and girls basketball. Speaking of girls basketball, we had a discussion about a co-op for girls
basketball, which I can uh talk about. Um, as an update for co-op for girls basketball, we have five returning players from the eight returning from the Billings and of those there are only a few varsity level players. Most of the returning players would be best suited for and more successful developing
around the junior varsity team. However, both schools are struggling to maintain their participation numbers each year to allow for a junior varsity team to take place. Um, Paripany High School was varsity only and had 12 girls in the program. Paripony Hills had to cancel
their 13 JV games due to inability to have a full JV roster. For next year, Paripony High School will return five girls and Paripony Hills will return eight girls and there may be two to three girls from Central and Brook that may join for their respective teams. But it may not be enough to sustain a
program, especially at Paripony High. Our hope is to combine our efforts and create a cooperative sports program so that both girls basketball teams can play at Parson High School and play at a developmentally appropriate level. And just to um side about co-ops, there's three levels for approval for a co-op.
And the first is at the board of education level. Next is at the conference level which we which we play at the NJAC which the meeting is on April 11th and finally at the state level and the request for spring co-ops are due to NJSIA by April 15th. We also
uh discussed this at length with the boosters talking about if the teams did combine they would be able to stay in the same division they are in currently. And the athletic directors also stated that they both wanted both teams to succeed and have enough members to play which they want to request a co-op. In
addition to that, um I just wanted to mention that we did the board committee did put forth the resolution on today's um bulletin for the girls basketball co-op team due to the tight deadline for the conference approval for April 15th. In addition to that, we also have notes from the boosters. They wanted to know
if the PHS girls basketball would stay the coach and nothing has been decided. We wanted to invite the ads from the middle schools to the next meeting to talk about um the importance of middle school participation uh garnering interest for sports in high school. In addition to that, um we talked about how
hard it is to get parents to join in and help with their programs and a few suggestions and bullet points about how to get the word out to middle school parents in the spring about sports and boosters and what it entails and different ways to encourage parents to know what boosters are, what different
clubs are, and invite middle school parents and students to participate. Uh they also mentioned using huddle or hh hudl.com to give everyone an opportunity to watch all the games and perhaps it could be included in the principal newsletters. Uh we also discussed how the open houses for sports went. Mr. D.
Bernard said that they were very well attended by coaches and students. Uh we concluded the meeting and it was a very good turnout. It was wonderful to see everybody. And at the next meeting we're hoping to have Mr. Mr. Nick Bronzo, the PAL director will be in attendance to talk about how the
PALS. Thank you. Any questions from Mrs. Abraham? Right. Mr. Chafo, you have critical issues report. Yes, Madam President. I do. So, the critical issues committee did meet, excuse me, on April 8th. Uh, present were Mrs. Abraham, Mrs. Chappelle, President Kogan, Mrs. Bennis,
and myself. Uh, we had three main topics of discussion. Uh the board governance document is still being uh discussed and um we hope to have uh a draft document by next meeting. The committee reviewed the pros and cons of moving the board election to
April. After careful consideration, the committee recommends not moving the election from its current date. While we understand there was interest in moving the election, there were compelling reasons to maintain the existing election schedule which are noted on the attached sheet and um this was posted on
our board documents. uh earlier uh this week and is available here tonight. Uh and lastly, the superintendent's evaluation uh falls under the responsibility of the critical issues committee. Uh the committee did uh prepare a draft which the board approved and uh has now been given to the
superintendent. The board of education views the superintendent evaluation as the most important factor in the board of education superintendent relationship and very significant in helping to drive our district forward. The superintendent's evaluation for the 2024 2025 school year has been completed in
accordance with NJSA18A17-20.3 utilizing the New Jersey school board model to accomplish this. So, thank you Dr. Sutter uh on your last paripony Troy Hills evaluation. We'd like to thank the board of education for their support and their
kindness. Much appreciated. Any questions? Thank you. Are there any other leaison or committee reports? Mrs. Abraham. Sure. Thanks. I just wanted to mention that the participant education foundation met on
April 8th and just a rundown of um the items. We just had an adoption of the agenda from last month. The minutes of the March 11th meeting were approved. The treasur report was uh discussed. Any correspondence was discussed as well.
Discussed the May uh golf outing. The the latest family's golf outing. And in old business, they talked about comfy for a clause day. And in new business, they spoke about project graduation donations, magnet fundraiser, gourmet cafe, dying to donate, which is on April
13th, and the food truck fundraiser on June 10th. And shortly thereafter, we adjourn. Thank you. Okay. Any questions on that? Mrs. You have a another report. Go ahead. Okay. Uh, so last night the educational services commission of Morris County met. Um it was very
uneventful just regular course of business but um just wanted to make sure to highlight that I did attend. Thank you. Um the only thing I don't think has been mentioned the CMS talent show is tomorrow night if anybody wants to go to that. Um our superintendent
search is still underway. We will be having more interviews next week. And the last thing was there's been a few communications um out in the township indicating that the township and the school district are close to finalizing a funding arrangement relating to the
pilots and I have not seen an agreement um from the township. Dr. Sutter, have you seen anything? I have not seen anything to date. No. And is there any meeting set up? Did we miss a meeting then? Not to my knowledge. I've not No one from the town has reached out to me. Okay. So obviously we are optimistic
that a agreement will be reached but as of now I don't think we're close to finalizing anything unless I'm missing something. Mrs. Mayor, did you have something else? Um she thought reminded me that I should really say something about the unsung
heroes that we did. I guess it was last week. It's Yeah, it seems like it was a lot longer. First they thanked the board for their generous donations. That was really, you know, they really were appreciative of the donations that we made. It was a really lovely evening. It
went, I have to say, a lot quicker than last time and it was great to see those students being honored. There are so many stories to be to be had and to really marvel at these kids. The resilience that they have is just
amazing. And the next meeting is the one where the people the students who actually get money will be given their checks. So, but it was a great evening. Yeah. Thank you. All right. Now, we're up to
approval of minutes for the regular and executive session of March 27th and executive minutes for April 3rd and April 4th. Can I have a motion for those? Mrs. Abraham. Second. Mr. Devito. Uh, roll call. Mrs. Abraham. Yes. Mr.

the 2005 or excuse me, 2025 PBL showcase. She presented on organic flow batteries to support a sustainable electric grid. Evelyn is the program's first official NS STEM PBL showcase winner in the district. Congratulations,

Paripony. So I wasn't going to come I was coming here and then I wasn't coming here and now I'm here because I think it's important that parents hear what I have to say. But I do want to preface this by saying that I did speak with a director of safety and he did make me feel a whole lot better when I was done talking to him and I trust that he's
going to get this um issue solved. But I I still think it's important that parents know. So um I am an educator. I've been an educator for 20 plus years, administrator. Now I'm in Bloomfield. I was in NORC uh for 20 years. So you know this is not new to me. Um, and I just
finished an intense training with the homeland security for school safety specialists for my school. I'm a principal in Bloomfield. So, when I got out of this training, my eyes were open. Not that they weren't open when they were in New York, but they were open a little bit more. And I started to ask my own children who are in fifth grade
about their safety drills. And I said to them, "Do you hold lockdowns?" "Yes, we do." "What do you do if you're in the bathroom during a lockdown?" They were able to tell me. "What do you do in the classroom?" You know, they were able to tell me. asked if their teachers um look out the door when a lockdown is called to do a sweep.
Um that was where I found that the doors were had um uh things holding them open and that was a concern to me because that takes time to get them uh those little wedges out. That's all time wasted. Um but then I what really got me was that I asked if they what they do
during lunch and during recess and neither of them knew. So I said, "Well, what do you mean? You don't know. You never had a lockdown drill during lunch." And my son said, "No, if we do, we're doomed." So I said, "Why are you doomed?" He said, "Because there's too many children in there. Where where would it all hide?" So I said, "But
nobody ever taught you where what to do. How about if you're outside on the campus?" Um they said, "Well, we wouldn't even hear that outside because if you're on the grass, you can't hear anything." But we've never done one outside either. So then I called parents, called all the parents in that grade level because, you know, my kids
might have missed something in the three or four years they've been there. And none of the children knew how to do it. So, I called I emailed the principal. Um, after a couple of and I love the principal at my school, so I'm not going to tell you schools names, all that. But the answer I got was a canned answer,
and he knows I'm an administrator. It was, "We do all our required drills. We have our CUSAC and our fire marshall um inspections, and we pass with flying colors." I know that we get noticed during fire marshall inspections and cusack inspeuds and we get our buildings
ready for those audits. Um and he he said I did a fire drill during um lunch last year and we'll do one at the end of this year or the beginning of next. Fire drills are easy. I mean you just get out of the building, right? So I asked my kids that too. I said if you normally go out of door A but you're on the other
side of the building during a fire drill, what would you do? you would you run back to door A or would you just get out or door B and they said we just go out the any the nearest door so that's a no-brainer but a lockdown wasn't done and the answer I wanted from him was wow
Mrs. And I never thought of that. That's a great idea and I'm going to do I'm not time up. Your time? Yeah. Finish it. Finish finish quick. Okay. So I I the the director told me that he will um look into this and that he'll make sure that all the buildings get this. I I
want that just done sooner rather than later. We put our children in the hands of partipony for a good part of the day and I want to feel safe knowing that my kids are safe when they're here. And I think that's a huge priority. And I don't think we should be reactive. I think we should be proactive and that
should be something un you know the the state doesn't mandate that where and when you do these fire drills and these lockdowns but as a community we should mandate it. Every school should have to have a those lockdown drills during recess, during transitioning, during um
lunch. Thank you. Is there anybody else from the public who'd like to speak? Hi everyone. Uh my name is Lisa Elvin. Um I've been um I have three kids in the district. Two have already graduated. I have one that's currently a junior in Pariffany Hills High School. Um I'm here
to support our current Parills band director. Um I'm going to read a little bit. Um he's a heart and soul of of our Parills band program. My kids have been in the program. I have three children who are band kids since 2013. So I've been around a while. I've seen a lot of the teachers. um and he
has been um he's the heart and soul of this program and he has been for years. Our Parills bands are successful because of his countless hours, his dedication and his vision. Um if something is working so well for our students and our families, why is he being transferred?
Um why do we need distraction? Why do we need distraction and why do we need disruption within the Parhills program, fan program? And u as he has said to us, there are three parts to a band. There is the the students, there is the families and there is the teachers and
if our band students, our alumni and our families and he has spoken that we want to maintain what we have. Um so I'm asking you to please reconsider that your transfer of him from our program um you know to keep the
integrity of our music program and for our kids. So thank you. Good evening. My name is Dan Filopeesco. I live in Pipony. Um I have a son who's a junior in Picip Hills High School and then um unfortunately he's not able to
be here. He's attending the Spanish and Honor Society induction ceremony tonight at the Hills. So, uh, I'm here on on his behalf um to, uh, kindly ask that you, um, consider the possibility of allowing the music teacher to remain at the
Pipini Hills High School. And if this is an opportunity for you to reconsider that, I'll be greatly appreciated by my son and by ourselves. Thank you so much. Um, good evening. Uh, my name is Suzanne Martin. I live at two Woodland Drive in Bhin. Um I have two students in Paripony
Hills High School. Um I'm actually here to request that the board revisit um policy 5512 for HIVs. Um, it's uh I think it needs to be a little bit revamped and addressed given the fact
that the policy actually says that it it has a range of responses to HIVs that are confirmed. But apparently the only range of confirmation or the only the only consequence once there's a
confirmed HIV at the school is just a flat two-day inschool suspension. So there's no range. It's just that's the answer is the two-day inschool suspension. Um and it's been very difficult to see kids have gone
through this. They've been accused. they're, you know, get confirmed. Then they suffer this two-day, you know, inschool suspension for which you can appeal it, but the school then says, "No, you're going to do your suspension first, and if you want to appeal it, you can appeal it later." You can't give a
kid back two days that they sit in suspension if the parents trying to come and request an appeal. So, for our family, it was difficult. I came, I fought the appeal, I lost. Um, my
daughter requested I stop because she just wanted the whole process to be over. Um, I would have gone up further. Um, because I believe it was wrong. I think I just the pro the policy needs to
be reviewed. Um, there's just no there's no stepped responses. is the policy actually outlines responses, but the school's reaction is just two-day in school suspension. Um, so my request is that there be a an outline
of a what I want to say like a once it's confirmed that there's actually a better plan for the kids because in going through just for this year, you go through the numbers of the reports, there's 107 kids that have been suspended. I don't know if those are all
for HIVs, but there's 107 suspensions just for this calendar year, not even school year. I only went through January through today and it was 107 I counted. That's horrible. That's just for suspensions. So, I don't know if it's
all HIVs, but you know, there's just kids that are now I think it's being weaponized as well. So, if you guys can just review the policy. I know the policy for this school year has already been approved in January, but if it can get put on the
calendar, willing to be participating in any part of revamping that policy possible. So, thank you for your time. Thank you. Hello. Good afternoon, everyone. Um, I am an alumni from Peripony Hills High School and I want to address about our
band director in the hills. Can you just state your name for the record? Yes. My apologies, Natalie Lucas. Um, do I also give anything else? No. As long as you wrote in the book, we're okay. All right. Thank you. Um, I'm here to address about our band director, about
his transferring, and I don't see any reason for him to be leaving us. And I say us because I still feel I am a part of this school. They have given so much opportunities. And I agree that he is one of opportunities. So many hours
dedication he has given to us. Some of our alumni are here because we are here to support him. He not only build us as a good foundation of a of a band because a band plays as a family and many
instruments have to coincide as harmony and he has made us as a better adults into the future. as I am now seeing that I am more able to work with other people and have confidence because of him. So I really do reconsider you thinking about
this situation especially for how these new generation are coming into the world of music. It's not only that but it gives them character into the world. So thank you. [Applause] Um, hi, my name is Vandana Badaria. My
husband Pashant. Um, we're here to request that you please reconsider the transfer of Mr. Epika um from the Hillside School. My son, I just he was really upset yesterday. Just thinking about breaks my heart. So please
my son uh uh my son uh uh motivated the teacher motivated my son to look at music. He grew up uh uh with
a great teachers and he loves to have these teachers stay and contribute to school success in future as well. So please reconsider. Thank you. Seeing no one else for the hearing
of the public. Um Dr. Sutter, do you want to make any comments? I would like to thank those members of the public that get came out tonight in support. As you know, I cannot really talk about personnel decisions. Um, however, I can say that
when we are in a budget crisis and we have a staffing meeting, we look at the needs of the district. Employees that are tenured employees of the district, they are guaranteed a job in the district. They're not guaranteed a job in a school. So, I can't really say
anything more about personnel other than the fact that stipens are different than teaching positions. So, I think if you look, you will see that no stipen position has changed. But again, we have to do what's best for everyone in the district. And while it might not be for
some people here, at the end of the day, we have to do what's best for the district. Um, Mrs. Miss Gina, I will I'll speak with you after. I want to speak with you about um your concern after um and Mrs. Martin, we will discuss this as a board,
your request about the policy. Okay. So, now we're up to the superintendent's bulletin number 16. Oh, sorry. Sorry, Madam President. Need to interrupt one second. Um I need to change uh a couple of my votes on the
minutes. Oh. Madam Secretary, can you please uh on the minutes for Friday, April 4th, 2025, I have voted previously uh yes to it. Please put me down as a
recusal and also for Thursday, April 3rd. Um this would have been at the 5:00 PM session and that's also a recusal. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Apologize. Clarification. Okay. So now we will um vote on the
superintendent's bulletin number 16 items number 1 through 26 with addendum items 29 through 39 and readins but we are pulling number 28. May I have a motion for those please? Mrs. Mayor second Mr. Chafo roll call please.
