gavvel. We're very excited in the second row about the gavvel. All right. I'll call I'll reconvene uh this meeting and uh roll call, please. Miss Brown, here. Miss Cresbow here. Mr.
Alexandro here. Mr. Here. Mr. Cohen here and Mr. Langley here. Uh, let's all rise for the flag salute. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Uh, Mr. Crosswell, will you read the mission statement, please? Yes, I will. The Riveridge School District is a partnership of students, parents, staff, and community members. We are dedicated
to providing a supportive environment in which all students can reach their maximum academic potential while developing as responsible citizens who respect individuality. Our goals will be achieved because curriculum and instruction are aligned with the New Jersey student learning standards. All
decisions reflect the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs of pre-K to sixth grade students. Cooperation and ongoing communication exists between the school district and the community. School administrators and the board of education work together to assess and adjust procedures in response to new
mandates and the changing needs of the community. Thank you. Open public meetings notice. Pursuant to the open public meetings act notice of this meeting, it's daytime and place have been delivered to the post office municipal building. The record and posted on the district website at least 48 hours prior to the time of this
meeting. Thank you. move on to the first item on the agenda which is the uh math awards. Hello. Thanks for having me back. Is that better? Started. Okay. Um hello uh Nancy Hayers. Thank you for having me back to celebrate um some more great
student achievement. So tonight I am here to share um the perennial math award contest which is a new and old contest. I did it many many years ago stopped for a bunch of years and we just reintroduced it again this past fall.
So, the perennial math contest a different format than we've had in the past. It's only six questions. I shouldn't say only because they're pretty tough and challenging. The kids have 30 minutes to do it. Um, and so we just got all the final recognition and honors for the fall
season, which was those four months that I just mentioned. And we'd like to honor those students today, um, who achieved an honor roll status on the entire season. So, this is their cumulative over the fourmonth tests. Um, and that
means that they scored in the top 10% of everyone who took the contest in the nation. So, very impressive. So, we're here to celebrate those children. Um, so first up from Roosevelt School and I have a certificate and um a little dog tag, but that's your medal for your
achievement. So first up from Roosevelt School, we have John Lee. So we're going to take a photo op. So Oh, so you would like to hand them out? Sorry. Congratulations. So come on. We're going to take a picture as well. Oh, so
there's your medal. Okay. Um, we also have Nathan O. Nathan here. Here's his medal. You can hand him. There's your medal. Um, and then we have Crit and
Danisaren. Come on down here. I'll let you hand those out. So, why don't you move over and then we're going to call up three Cherry Hill students and we can take a picture all together or do you want separate pictures? Do you care? Okay. What do you pop over there and then we'll Yeah, pop
over there and then we'll do the Cherry Hill students. And then we also have three students from Cherry Hill. We have Seya Chong. That's a medal. Excellent. We have Jaden Ma.
And I'm not sure if he's Oh, there he is. Albert Lynn. Come on down, Albert. Can you scoot by me that way? There you go. Collect all. Albert, turn around. They have it right here. There you go. Go over there and take the
picture. Go there. All right, everyone. Everyone scooch that way a little bit. Why don't you guys get in the picture? Go get in the picture. Yeah. Let's get Denise and Nick up there, too. Yeah. Get the principal in there.
I'll get in the packet. All right. Ready? You're done. I think we're required to Yeah. All right. So, we'll move on to the public hearing on the on the budget. Yeah. We'll go up. We'll move out of the
way. Um tonight we're going to pre um present the final 2526 school uh budget. Um this is the final um vote on the budget. Um, we already had done a full presentation
on the proposed school budget and now we're going to do our final presentation and then it will be submitted um and finalized for the county tomorrow. The county has approved this budget. Did you want to do
it's okay? Y uh good evening everybody. Uh this is the river edge uh mission statement. Uh we read it at the beginning of every uh board meeting so I don't think we need to read it again but there it is. Uh these are some points of pride. Um we do many things well here in
River Edge as uh everyone is uh well aware. I think one of the things I'd like to highlight and I have before um the data the data structures that we employ here in river edges are probably some of the more robust that I I've seen and I've gone through that before and I
think it's one of the things that leads to uh river edges success on standardized testing as you all know this is standardized testing season uh um and uh we're in the throws of of testing even even today um but it's one
of the things that we do well that data feeds uh the wind decisions. Um and those that data feeds the PDIA uh decisions and that data also helps um the gifted and talented program not only
makes selections but also uh enhances the program based on the data that we collect. And we just had some recipients of math uh awards here tonight. So, um I think that this is this is uh a very modern and thoughtful way to go about
educating students and I think River Edge does it very well. Uh these are some of the other things that um in many ways uh exceed some of the things that we do in during the the course of the school day. Um including the the family nights, which
by the way, the family nights are are very well attended. I'm always very impressed with the with the attendance. Not only are the activities uh well thought out and well planned by the faculty, but I am uh always impressed by the line of people that line up to come back to the family nights. And that just
speaks to the kind of um uh commitment that the parents have to their child's education. I think that is also one of the things that uh adds to the success uh here in River. Uh we have the steam program which um
probably is something that we can uh enhance in the future not uh it's not in the budget for uh this year it's mostly status quo um it is funded for this year as it exists but uh we know from the strategic planning that uh technology
and science is something that the community the parents uh those folks who the I don't know 490 folks who responded to the survey would like to see um uh enhanced or focused on. So, it's something that we need to consider for um next year. Uh the Shark Tank, which
um uh it's just another another example of of a project based type learning that goes on. The Shark Tank uh I'll call it capstone experience for the sixth grade. It's it's it's so entertaining. First of all, I think I did a terrible job at at
Shark Tank uh as a judge. Um Mr. Wang was much better at it than I was. Uh and then we have many different um endeavors uh for the faculty going on. I think the commitment to professional learning here. We're going to spend quite a bit of money next year. Some of it we spend
out of this year, but you're looking at over $50,000 in the next um we'll say calendar year uh spent on um professionally developing the faculty on uh the math program. And this is a uh
it's a new endeavor, but I uh one thing that I think is highly important is to make sure that folks are prepared for um new programs. So K to3 is going to be rolling out next year. We even had the professional developer here today. Um
and uh by front-loading some of this professional development, it gives time for these concepts and the program to kind of fester in the minds of the teachers uh between now and September one when they're expected to deploy it. I uh when we did 45, we didn't have that
kind of time. I think the um roll out will be much more smooth for K to3 because we have um this prior commitment to professional development plus the the resources are available which they um some of them were but widely weren't uh when we did four five because it's a new
program right so it is um being developed but now everything is ready to go and and teachers already have resources um in their hands to to look at and we're already beginning the professional development that will continue not only through the summer but all through um throughout next year.
Okay, that was a while. Uh what is a school budget? Uh the school budget reflects the educational priorities of the district. It's an action plan. It's aligned with a board of ed goals, aligned with our strategic plan, aligned with our long-range facilities plan, which is our buildings
and grounds plan. It provides accountability to the taxpayers and develops a framework for our spending priorities. It satisfies all the state and federal mandates and it does require NJDOE approval and which was granted. The budget process starts
really July one which is the beginning of our fiscal year. Um when we meet with the administrators we look at uh the curriculum committee, personnel and management committee and various other stakeholders and look for additional revenue sources. We identify the capital
improvements. what what do our buildings need? What you know that we did a boiler project. Um we're doing a boiler pro at Roosevelt and a roof replacement. We're doing a boiler project this summer um at Cherry Hill. So the buildings do need to be kept up and those are the capital
improvements that we're doing. Um administration and finance committee meets multiple times to discuss this. Um we present and vote on the tenative budget after the state aid is released which is what we already did. And now this is the full budget at the public
hearing and vote that's going on this evening. One of the things that you look for in a budget is how you're saving money and and that's by doing shared service kind of economies of scale for a school system. Um we have region five special education which has
transportation and does our related services. We work in conjunction with the bureau of river edge for snow removal and gas. We belong to Northeast Bergen County School Board's insurance which is Nesbig which you're approving actually on the agenda tonight to stay
with them. Um add data services is how we buy our school supplies each year. Um Alliance for Competitive Energy which is ACES it's um gas and electric we do that in a cooperative with a group of other schools. Bergen County Technical
Services we use uh Bergen Tech for tech higher level technology. um ESCJ and Pepum which are state contracts which allows us to buy supplies and um as you know we have our SLO3 officers in conjunction with the Burrow of River Edge um in both of our
buildings where we're we're lucky enough to have two officers on the grounds each day with police cars. Um this is a projection of our revenues. So it shows last year and what we're projecting for next year. Um the tax levy is projected to go up. Um it
will it's projected to go up 4.49%. Um usually you can only go up 2% but we had a healthc care adjustment which we were allowed to take of $444,000. That was for the massive state
health benefits um increase. So um that is a separate resolution on the agenda um as as part of the budget. Um we have tuition and miscellaneous revenues. Uh our prek tuition, our interest on
investments, that number you can see went up. Um, we've been able to take some of our capital reserve money and put in jumbo CDs for uh 4% interest um over a number of um months because we
had money in cap reserve from uh prior year and we were able to put it aside and be able to um use a CD vehicle to um earn interest which will help us um do more projects hopefully. Right. Um budget is fund balance. That's the
number you keep from each year's budget to fund your next year's budget. Um we have extraordinary aid, um transportation aid, um special ed aid, and then you might want to see the equalization aid, which last year we got a million nine and this year we got no
monies in that category. So um we we did have some aids cut. We had some aids increase, but overall we had a decrease in our aids. We still do have our um federal grants which is the ESA and the IDEIDA and then you have your taxes for
debt service. That's for the referendum monies for the bonds that were put aside. So those monies for NBC and this building that we're still paying for and we'll talk about that later in a later slide. Additional sources of revenue um we get a fee from region five for being
the LEA. Uh we have tuition revenue from out of district students. We have a preschool program. Um Alphabest um our before and after school program um does give us a fee. The interest from the jumbo CDs that I spoke about obviously
our um very generous PTO who um gives us numerous contributions in both of our schools. and then using grants. This year um for this year there was only the high impact tutoring grant but in the past we've had rod grants and numerous other grants available to us and we've
taken advantage of them. Uh the cost per pupil in 2526 is proposed is $18,287. That's the amount of money spent on education for each student. Um this is a formula that's put out by the
state each year that shows us so it the average was 20,154. So um that means that we're doing a good job with the money that we have educating our students. So we're below the
average. These are our expenditures kind of in a nutshell. So um it shows the 23 24 year 24 25 and then the percentage of change in 25 26 for our programs and so you'll see some categories have gone
higher some lower based on the items that make up um those combined they're compressed line items. Um at the end of the day the revenues obviously have to equal the um expenditures.
Um this is a picture of talking about our capital reserve. So having money for capital reserve is is very important. Um monies um have to be set aside because we as a school have no way of getting
any additional monies if something happened within the school. You don't have any way of funding. We can't float a bond. It h everything has to go out to vote. So, you have to be um a good caretaker of the money and make sure you have money put aside to um for fixing up
the buildings and different things that we need to do. Um like I said, we have a long-term um bonds, long-term debt, which are the bonds for building our building that we're in right now for NBC. Um they will
be expiring in 3132. Um we don't have what the debt service aid from the state is, but that's the um payments. Um our state aid in 2425 was reduced by $516,000. Our state aid um this year was
um reduced by another 978.48. So you can see that while um in 1819 we had a amount of state aid, we were given um additional state aid because we were um deemed to be an underfunded district. So we've been
doing a lot with less money. Um and now the pendulum is going in the other direction. So now that we're funded, we're getting um less money. Also, unfortunately, we're getting less money, but actually being asked to do more with those funds that we have um as far as
curriculum, staffing, and and educating our students. Um why did we lose state aid? This is something that we talked about a lot last year. Um the tax base of River Edge grew significantly. The home values
went up 10.5% and the income went up 13.3%. Um so the state um has a formula that they call the um fair share for the district. Unfortunately the taxpayers
don't have a mechanism to give more than the 2%. The health care adjustment was one mechanism that we can use but there is no way to get to the taxpayers even if they wanted to give more money in their taxes.
Um the other part of our funding is is census data um which shows our enrollment over the years. We also had a demographic study done um to look at our enrollment and um it was pretty much on par to what we actually are. So in some
years it has actually gone up. It plummeted um as you see there right after um COVID and went up slightly and then it seems to be going back down. Um, as you all know, as um members of
the of River Edge, um the the homes were just reassessed here. Um last year um in my presentation, I represented to you as part of uh our slideshow was that the average assessed home in River was 397,000. Well, after you all had the
reassessment this year, the average assessed home is $675,360. Um, we went, as I said, we went our school tax levy increase at 4.49% um would be the tax impact for the average assessed home would be $49.20.
Um, I'd like to if anyone has any questions, the the budget is posted on the district website at that link. Um, and if anyone would have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them before we vote later on the agenda.
Any questions from board members, comments? If I can make a comment, sir. Yeah, sure. the if you look at um the treasury report which you all have the um and uh we have $4 million in capital reserve
which is healthy um it it's not enough to build a new building or anything like that but it's it's it's healthy and I think that it's probably about where it should be. We should probably have a little bit more money in there and this year we'll have an opportunity at the
end of the fiscal year to deposit some money in there. Um, it won't be as much as last year. I think something to keep in mind is if you looked at the presentation, we had 500,000. We like to keep it around $500,000 from uh last year funding this year and this year
funding next year. That's probably a pretty good number. We need to be able to generate that much money from um the previous year, from this year so that we could fund $500,000 of next year's budget. That's a pretty good number for um a district both this size
and uh whose budget is about this big. Um I would not want to see that have to go higher and I think any lower probably won't be necessary in the next few years. However, one thing we have to be mindful of is um as we have
to take on more expenses. So this year was a massive health benefits uh increase and keep in mind that the faculty and employees also feel that because they pay a percentage of the premium. So just like the district has to play pay more so the employees. Um
there's uh so where last year if you looked at the audit we had $2 million in in surplus and we pushed some of that into uh capital reserve. it's going to be much less this year because we had to absorb a lot more of that um state
health benefits increase that it was unexpected to go up that high. So, we needed to find the money somewhere and and of course was able to to figure that out. But it means that there'll be less money in surplus in well in December when they re when they report again that
number is going to be diminished from what we saw this December from the author. So it they're I mean the district is is financially healthy. We have re uh we have capital reserve. We have 300,000 a little more than $300,000 in maintenance reserve. These things are
these are healthy numbers. Um reserves aren't the best place to to always have money because it's harder to get that money out of there, right? We need a motion and resolutions and um capital needs to be for capital. Maintenance needs to be for maintenance. and we really aren't allowed to spend that money on anything else unless it's some kind of dire emergency and then we can
get some kind of dispensation from the state. But in the end, um these are uh reliable places to place money so that when it comes time and there are I mean the the facilities are getting older. There are lots of needs. We got a report on the roof this week on we had a roof
assessment done. There's there's there's roof work that has to be done in the next few years. We are going to start having to spend some of that capital. The other option is we we are going to have to ask the taxpayer for um to vote a bond and I don't know where we're going to end up on that and we don't
have a very a real um strong sense of where how much longer these the roofs are going to last in in their current states. Um I did ask Mr. Carrera we don't have any current leaks but we don't sometimes you don't want to wait for the the ship to start sinking before you start patching the holes right. So
um we have to be mindful of the fact that there are um lot there's the even though we did boilers we didn't do control systems for these for the heat. So um there are efficiencies that can be gained by overhauling these control systems but those control systems are
wildly expensive. So where we have some money in capital reserve and where we um where the district is this is a good and school budgets are always tenuous right? What's a good school budget? I I don't know what the definition of that is, but this is uh keeping things status quo uh
for next year. However, in the coming years, we're going to be faced with large facility bills that of things that really need to be done and um diminishing capital reserve to zero is not a good practice. We're going to have
to find other ways to generate money to be able to start doing these these projects. So, um, I just feel like it's it's important to have that conversation now because two or three years from now, we might need $2 million to do a roof or the roofs on, let's say, just this building or something. Um, and we're
going to be looking for that money. And if health benefits continues to increase, if we're limited still to 2% with health benefit waiverss or whatever, the health benefit waiver that we took is not enough to cover the entire bill. It's just not it's not available. there's just not that we're just not allowed to reach out and take
the money that we lost this year or that we plan on losing next year. So, um it's important we talk about these things now early while we we don't while there are no seemingly um you know uh fiscally
dire uh issues. However, uh we know on the horizon that there's some some uh some stormy weather and I think preparing for it now is the way to do that and this budget does the best it can to do that. All right, we can turn this
projector off, right? Okay. Uh, all right. So, moving on to the next item. This is related to the budget, but separate. Um, the public hearing on superintendent's contract. Um, I'll I'll read it just so it's in in the record for the public to hear. This
change adds the accumulated sick bank of 45 days to the superintendent's contract. It's permitted by NJSA18A 30-3.2. Um, credited with unused sick leave. any banks uh sick leave days remaining at the end of the superintendent's retirement shall not be
eligible for reimbursement. Any questions or discussion on that? If I could, sir. It's a separate bank from the sick days that I get. I get 12 a year, I believe, by the by contract. That's a separate bank. This that's a separate accumulation. this bank will re they're
going to account for it completely separately right and these days diminish up against the 12 that I get it annually so uh hoping hopefully by the time I am eligible for retirement uh these days will all be diminished and my the other
bank will have an equivalent number of days right okay thank I thank the board for considering this uh we'll open it up for public comments on uh the school budget the superintendent's contract contract and agenda items only. Um, seeing that there
is nobody here for the comment, we'll move on to superintendent report. Bring it on. Good evening everybody. Uh, we had a lot of uh, presentations tonight so I will keep this short. Uh, it's nearing the end of the school year. Um, and at the end of the school year we
have testing season. So we're we're uh, mid testing season. Um, as you know, NJSLA tests our fifth grade students in science. Um, it tests our third grade through sixth grade students in both mathematics and language arts. We've
been preparing for these all year. Um, our curriculum is standardsbased and the tests are design the assessments I should say are designed to test those standards. So, um, we are, uh, taking the the assessments now
through basically the end of the month. Um, it's spaced out. It is computer-based now. I'm sure everyone here um took these tests in some way, shape, or form, but we did them on paper. Uh, these are now entirely uh computer-based tests. So, it is
important that the platforms um that the our computer platforms uh perform. I'd like to um thank both the the technology department uh and Brooke Geller, our our supervisor of assessment uh special projects and innovation. Um they were
able to uh conduct the infrastructure trial. Uh that's when we um have what we do is we max out the the bandwidth essentially of the district to we try to break the system during that trial. Um,
and thankfully we uh we have enough bandwidth where it didn't break. It did it did get close for the record. When I when they reported when they reported the results to me, I'm like, "Wow, that's pretty close to the limit." Um, but we never exceeded it. Um, which is a good thing. So, it's also artificial. In
no way, shape, or form is every student in the district taking the test at the same time during the testing session. So what we do is we artificially create a demand u on the system so that should every student be taking the test at the
same time which is not realistic. Um could we technically do it and the infrastructure trial answers the question uh and this year thankfully the question was yes uh and we can move on. Um uh we're also making in to support this effort we're making a large investment
in uh Chromebooks this year. um based on uh monies that we already have. These Chromebooks have a lifetime of about five years they tell us. So we have some Chromebooks that are a exceeding that b meeting that this year and so what would
that be? ABC uh C um getting very close. So, um a large investment in Chromebooks this year, uh so that um we can retire some uh ancient ones that don't work and and don't even can't even support some software that we uh that the teachers
use um to instruct. Um so, we're going to age those out. Uh we'll put them on Gov deals. Maybe we'll get like a dollar a piece for them. I don't know if anyone wants a seven-year-old um Chromebook, but if there are anyone who can use it, they can get them off of Gov deals. Um, and then the uh and then the balance of
them will be new. And um those new ones I think are going to be deployed three through five. No, it's more than that. I'll update you on that when we get them. Um the uh so there so there's that. Um and those Chromebooks will help
support the testing effort and and that's kind of the point. We need to be ready for this for the testing each year. Um there are uh as we get towards the end of the year, there are a number of events. I'm trying to keep the board up to date. I think my last update didn't have the calendar events, but I'll
continue to put that in my updates to the board so that you folks can follow what's what's coming up and when, you know, certain ceremonies are. And if you want to attend those, of course, you're always welcome. Um there's also a number of uh evening activities that uh wax and wne throughout the course of the school
year. Um there is an asbesus removal on the uh in section G on buildings and grounds. This was um when we did the boiler project here, we discovered that there was a little more aspesus than they initially thought. Uh it's not this
doesn't meet the threshold um for any further notice. Um it's a rather small amount. It's just on the seals. Uh in fact, we went and checked it out today. Not that we went and like tasted it or anything, but we uh we went to go see where it was and um it is a uh it is
there and that's why that 40 40,000 is there. Well, and that that is going to also be submitted with the raw grant according to this. That's correct. So, we're we might we might get a percentage of that back when uh 40% of that.
So, it has to be done anyway. Um so, that's uh that's why that's on there. I just wanted to talk about it uh for a bit. Um there's a number of uh personnel appointments. We have some new folks joining joining the team here. And then we're also reappointing um uh tenured
and non-tenured uh employees both um certificated and non-certificated tonight. Um there are uh the summer academy. I had a a meeting today with uh Ashamo um and uh she's the supervisor of the
summer academy and those plans are going well. We're going to advertise it for uh there'll be a a flyer that goes out and folks can we're not quite sure what the demand signal is yet. I wanted to add a science and technology component, but I don't know if um I don't know if the
demand is there. So, there'll be a survey that will go out to uh River Edge parents and if the demand signals there, we're going to partner with Rampo College uh the Meadowlands Environmental Center. Um I've worked with them before. Full disclosure, I'm a graduate of one of my graduate degrees is from Ramapo.
Um, and I maintain a relationship with and I I used to work there as well, but not anymore. Um, so, uh, they do a nice job and if there is a demand from the the community, then we'll look to um, uh, partner with them. So, I'm excited
about the, uh, summer program. Uh, and the balance of the agenda is uh, pretty standard. That concludes my report. board secretary report. Um yes, one of the items too on the agenda just to add to what Dr. Bernice already said was is
an approval of a donation from Regal for additional work on the batting cages. Um we just want to say thank you to them for um continuing to support the fields and for our facilities for the students. Um the other thing is the approval of membership in NESBIG which is our GIF
insurance fund. Um Dr. Bernice mentioned the abatement and also obviously H1 is the approval of the 2526 final budget that we just went over. Thank you. Uh president's report I don't have anything tonight so we'll move on
to committees. We have uh finance and facilities first. The finance and facilities um committee meeting um was April 21st from 7 to 8:02. The attendees were myself, Mr. Frizz, Mr. Langley, uh Dr. Bernice, and
Miss Npalitano. Um we discussed the update on the boiler project and the heating units. Um small heating units were purchased to warm up the classrooms. Um the custodians were arriving early at the school to ensure that the um classrooms were uh warm enough for the students. Um the rod
application was also submitted. Um we do have uh some updates um with Alphabest um who will be continuing uh with us uh in the next year. Um we do have some updates on field improvements. Um there was some aation and seating that was
completed um and some discussion on the Roosevelt batting cages. Um the 2526 final budget approval which uh Lan just discussed um region five update on RFP for billing services for
Hopstone budget um and policies um will be coming up shortly. Next meeting will be um I don't know I have May 12th which is not possible is it really? I think so. Really? May 12th? May 12th. Like
next week May 12th, I think. So, didn't we just meet? Okay. Next meeting will be May 12th. It does feel that way. You have spring break in there. Correct. Okay. That's why I didn't think it was correct. We'll figure it out. Thank you. We we just for the the the board's edification. We uh CNI is booked for
4:30, personnel management 5:30, and finance facilities is for 7. We can change any of those if we need to. Uh certainly you have things to talk about. Uh thank you. Uh we'll move on to personal loan management. The personnel and management
committee uh met on April 23rd from 5 to 6:00 p.m. with Mr. Sim, myself, Mr. Langley, Dr. Bernice, and Miss Npalitano. We discussed the final budget which was presented tonight. We reviewed the tenur and non-tenured uh staff in
general terms. Numbers of staff that uh uh will not have their contracts renewed. Uh non-tenured staff that have resigned, uh tenure staff that we've appointed and temporary leave replacements. Uh we received the administrative contract and uh we
