Tonight, we have the privilege of recognizing some truly exceptional students from Sherman School. young people who have demonstrated responsibility, creativity, and a commitment to their community. These students represent the very best of who we are as a district and who we are proud to celebrate with their
accomplishments tonight. Before I call up the honores, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible teaching staff at Sherman School because none of this would be happening without celebrating what they do throughout the day. As principal, I have the privilege
of seeing our teachers at work every day, and I can tell you firsthand, their dedication goes far beyond the classroom. They pour themselves into the students, nurturing confidence, sparking curiosity, and creating the kind of safe, encouraging spaces where children feel free to take creative risks and
discover what they are truly capable of. Nights like tonight are a direct reflection of an investment. I am deeply grateful for each and every one of them. First up is our safety patrol. Every day, rain or shine, our safety patrol
students show up before school, during dismissal, and whenever they are needed to help keep our community safe. They are trusted leaders led by our very own leaders, Miss Bergos and Miss McElrath, who take their responsibilities seriously, modeling exemplary behavior
and setting an example for their peers. Being selected for the safety patrol is an honor that reflects strong character, dependability, and willingness to serve. These students have earned the respect of their teachers, administrators, and fellow students. At this time, I'd like
to call up our safety patrol. Please uh stay up here for a picture, Ezekiel Moda. Asher Henny, Victoria Sanchez, Crystal Silva, Kaye Gonzalez,

>> I now call Mr. Kane up to present Winter Athletics. Okay. Good evening everybody. Good evening to the board of education, administration, staff, and our entire community. I'm proud to stand before you tonight to celebrate what has been an
incredibly successful winter sports season at Rosell Park High School. This winter, our student athletes demonstrated not only competitive excellence, but also the character, discipline, and teamwork that makes us proud as a school community. Our girls basketball team won the Valley Division Championship under the leadership of
head coach Stacy Hartzler and assistant coach Anna Nunes. GET APPLAUSE FOR THAT. THE SPECIAL RECOGNITION GOES to Sydney Smith, who made school history and becoming Rosel Park's first 2,000 point
scorer and our all-time leading scorer with 2,69 points. An extraordinary achievement. I wasn't there yet, though. I'll call him down. I'm going to call him down. I'm going to Okay. Okay.
This winter we had a very motivated young woman that loves track and field and wouldn't let the fact that we don't have a winter track team get in the way of her competing and representing Rosel Park in winter track. In accordance with the NJSIA and with the board's approval, Skyler Boyd was the only ninth grader to
make the 55 meter dash finals at the Union County Championship, which is no small feat in Union County. And later in the season, she earned a state sectional runner-up finish in the 55 meter dash. So showcasing her elite speed and determination. More to come this spring
from Skyler. Our ice hockey program, which the triumph with Arthur L. Johnson and Dayton High School saw standout success from our very own Logan Pasquitch, who was named team MVP, earned first team all McMullen division honors, and
finished his junior season with an impressive 145 points. Boys wrestling continued its strong tradition with Jacob Pello capturing a Union County Championship, earning outstanding wrestler honors and qualifying for the NJSIAA state
championships. Maxwell Griffin also county champion at 13 32 lbs and Anthony Sraa qualified for regionals at 190 lb. Girls wrestling reached historic heights this season. Latia Reeri delivered one
of the most remarkable performances in school history, becoming a Union County champion, district champion, region champion, and ultimately the NJSIA state champion at 126 lbs. Aversenhauser also had an outstanding
season winning the county championship and also qualifying for the state championship. And both of those young women are also named as the only two outstanding wrestlers in the Union County tournament. Congratulations to them. Rounding out our winner sports in
bowling, Camila Cruz Gado, representing Rosel Park at the NJSIAA state championships. Another great accomplishment for our program, finishing in the top 25 of the state and the girls. Congratulations, Camila. These achievements are a direct reflection of the dedication of our coaches and of course our parents who
are tirelessly working to develop our student athletes not into strong not only into strong competitors but also into strong young people as they graduate and move forward from Rosel Park High School. I couldn't be more proud of what our teams have accomplished this winter and they've represented Roso Park with pride, resilience, and excellence. So

Brian, I apologize. I wanted this to be with everybody else here, but I will make sure it gets on RPTV and it will be part of graduation and it will be shouted from the rafters. Um, so it is my privilege. I attended the unsung Union County award ceremony last week
with Miss Goce and our board president also was was there briefly, Miss Reagan. Um, every high school in Union County that is public is invited to nominate one senior as their unsung hero and Rosel Park uh unanimously selected Brian
Luna as our unsung hero. So Brian just stay put for a second. An unsung hero is someone who consistently does the right thing, supports others, and demonstrates integrity and resilience without seeking recognition.
Brian Luna exemplifies this definition every day. Despite significant family responsibilities, including caring for his younger brothers, Brian rem Brian maintains strong attendance, stays engaged in school, and demonstrates maturity, kindness, and reliability. He
has shown meaningful academic growth excelling in mathematics and is always willing to help his peers, including translating when needed. Even in the face of personal hardship, Brian continues to persevere with quiet strength, compassion, and humility. His
steady commitment to his family, his education, and his community reflects the true spirit of an unsung hero, making him highly of highly deserving of this recognition. Congratulations, Brian. Come up. Come up here with his
voice. So, as Brian comes up, I would like to read the resolution. So, start coming up. The Rosal Park School Board of Education hereby recognizes Brian Luna Castro for receiving the Rosal Park County School
Boards Association's Unsung Here Award on March 12th, 2026. And whereas the Union County School Board Association in collaboration with the New Jersey School Boards Association recognizes unsung heroes from each Roosevelt Park High School in Union County. And whereas the
Unsung Hero Award honors students who make outstanding contributions to their schools and communities, but are often overlooked by other traditional student recognition programs. These students have overcome difficult academic or personal challenges, modeled good
citizenship, or a spirit of quiet strength that has inspired others. These unsung heroes may have organized community nonprofit programs, selflessly supported others, or achieved academic success despite disabilities, language barriers, or other significant
challenges. And whereas Brian Luna Castro has overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to reach their full potential, has served the school community and the community at large, and stands as a beacon to inspire others.
And now, therefore, be it resolved that the Rosal Park School Board of Education recognizes Brian Luna Castro as an unsung hero of Union County and the Rosel Park School District. And be it further resolved that this resolution is presented to Brian Luna Castro as a
sincere token of the Rosel Park School Board of Education's congratulations and best wishes for continued success. wasn't ignoring. I was taking the picture. >> Ask Brian who his third grade teacher was. Where's with your phone?
>> Wendy's got Now committing We now move into our committee reports. I'm going to start from my left. Uh CPAC had their meeting last night with a presentation on uh special education rights. Please join them at their next meeting, April 28th at 6:30
p.m. at the Anthony Cinderella Center. Uh Sarah Zayen Weber will present strategies to help our kids focus in school and access their education. These strategies are for all students, so I strongly encourage everyone to attend. Thank you. >> All right. Um, just update for
technology. Um, our technology director, Tom, has been working very hard. Uh, right now, I know everybody is waiting for the high school sign and I'm told it's being worked on and they're figuring out what to do. Um, the website and our platform is being updated and
new laptops are going to our elementary school students next year. So, lots of technology updates. Very exciting. All right, seeing no more, we'll move into the superintendent report. Good evening, board president, members
of the board, and members of our community. Um just wanted to give a brief residency update. Between February 15th and March 20th, the district conducted multiple residency verifications, all of which were found to be in compliance. Additionally, four residency investigations were initiated
due to returned mail. Our residency officer conducted three surveillances related to one questionable residency and also assisted um our high school with a wellness check. As we prepare for upcoming preK registration, paperwork will be completed during the week of March 30th. Disenrollment packets were
issued to two of our families impacting five of our students. As part of our compliance process, the district mailed 17 60-day notices, 430-day notices, and 515day notices. Just a little enrollment update. District enrollment continues to show steady growth across all of our
schools. Our total enrollment has increased from 1,921 students in September to 1,981 students in March. We are seeing increases across most buildings including Aldine school went from 270 in September to currently 281. Robert
Gordon School from 305 to 321. Sherman school from 348 to 357. Middle school 431 to 439. High school steady at 550 and preschool from 27 to 33. This continued growth reflects the
strength of our programs and the trust of our community continues to place in our schools and in our staff. I would also like to take a moment to recognize several outstanding individuals and group across our districts that were presented here tonight. Our Sherman school students for their participation
in the safety patrol youth art month and their council of 10, but especially Mr. Fleeka and his staff, Miss Rosenel for their continued work and for Mr. Mr. Fus continued leadership and dedication to the school. Also, following Mr. Kane's
comprehensive athletics earlier this evening, as you heard, um I would like to commend again all our student athletes and coaches for an outstanding winter season. And most notably, we celebrate uh Luchia Reeri for capturing the NJSIA
state championship. And historical achievement it is for Luchia as it is for Rosell Park as being the Rosel Park first girl wrestling state champion and the district overall state champion since 1953. So congratulations. Um, this
represents not only individual excellence on her part, but a defining moment for the district and for the city as well. We are incredibly proud of her as I'm sure her parents are and we thank them for sharing her with us and this sets the bar for all of our students and
just leads to the opportunities that our coaches and our district sets forth for them. Um, we also celebrate our girls basketball valley championship. Um, Sydney Smith, a historic achievement as well by becoming our first 20,000 point
scorer, an all-time leading scorer um in our strong performance across all winter programs, including student athletes who earned county, regional, and state recognition as well as state championships in girls wrestling. Uh, these accomplishments reflect not only athletic success, but also dedication
and teamwork and define our students. And I thank um the high school admin, especially uh Mr. Kane for all of their work in leadership as well. And of course, our unsung hero, um, Brian, I had the pleasure of having him in middle
school. And just like Miss Ford in third grade, to see them come to this level, it truly is, um, so gratifying and there's no words to explain that. So, I was very grateful that I had the opportunity to be there. That is why I was not able to be at the uh New Jersey
Honor Society induction ceremony here in the middle school. Uh on behalf of the Rosal Park School District, I congratulate and my sincere wishes to everyone who got an award here tonight. And in closing, I'd like to thank all of our students, all of our staff, and our
families and administrators and the board for their continued dedication, commitment to excellence. Thank you all and have a good night. Thank you, Miss Goyce. Moving into our agenda

that. I would like to see if the board could take under consideration that we have so many tests that our kids do which is phenomenally great. We need to know where they're at. Um but I think that the way that we get the information we don't get it fast enough for it to
make an impact in a meaningful way in our classrooms. So, I'd like the board to please consider taking it under consideration to find um or look into maybe uh a better mechanism where we're getting the information in a faster way,
in a more useful way because I feel like now there's so many months in between if you test a child and then 6 months later you're testing a child but you are using the data from 6 months ago and now you're using that strategy to implement. you don't necessarily have the best
picture because we all know that at the age in all these different age groups the children they just jump. So, we really need a more um I feel like this is just my opinion. I think we need a more um better way to disseminate the
information in a more timely manner so it can be useful to our teachers instead of having them get prepared for tests and then they can't use that information that they spent time helping the kids be able to take these tests either. It's it's not
useful. So, that's all. I hope everybody has a good night. Thank you for your comments. Okay, I now close the public participation portion. um resolve that the Rosal Park Board of
