see you all here today uh can I have a motion to return to public session make that motion second second great all in favor I great public participation agenda items only each member of the public may speak a maximum of 3 minutes
please state your name for the record okay seeing none I am going to close the public participation portion uh next we are going to move into a presentation by our crisis center can you hear me awesome good evening
everyone uh good evening superintendent go Rosell Park Board of Education and community members my name is Tiffany Bane and I have been the co-advisor for the crisis center for almost three decades [Music]
thank you um I am actually a very proud uh Rosal Park Alum and I have been a member of this community my whole life um so I'm really thankful for that and while I was a student here I participated in a program called peer
leadership and this is kind of the foundation as to how the crisis center came to be so the peer leadership program even today is still a program where our philosophy is that the students are the best ones who know how to reach and put in place programs for
other students um so the uh Rosel Park High School peer leadership program back in 1987 oh by the way I graduated from the high school in the 20th century but I'm not going to tell you what year um so
they uh were tasked with the um to figure out how to reduce the incidences of uh physical confrontations fights in the high school um self harm and so what the students came up with in terms of the causes why does this happen um they
said that uh students don't always want to go to adults they need another resource and so the idea of the crisis center was born The Crisis Center opened its doors in 1988 and has for since then a very long
time uh provided a resource for students to go and talk to a peer and that peer serves as a bridge to getting um to adults or professionals who can really make changes and really help them and sometimes if it's just something like
homework stress or you know friends then the crisis center counselors can handle that um so I also want to point out that those who work in the crisis center um this is an experience that stays with them throughout their lives It's Not
Unusual for us to get emails I was going to say letters but I don't know if anybody does that emails messages um where they share how their crisis center skills and experience have benefited them throughout their lives and um that they've gone into fields
that are related to their work in the crisis center education even medicine um law mental health professionals and so this is an experience that has really changed and made it real impact on our community and I'm going to turn it over to Andrea kadoo is going to talk a
little bit more about what types of things we uh do in terms of the training and the crisis center issues so thank you good evening I'm Andrea kadoo and I am the social worker at the high school and I have been a co-adviser for crisis
center since 2007 and a fun fact fun fact in talking about the history of Crisis Center um as Mrs Bane said it was a student initiative to create the crisis center but the students who created the crisis Center graduated before the crisis center came to fruition so they never got to work a day
in the crisis center for this wonderful thing that they built um each spring a select number of our students our Rising Juniors and seniors apply for a spot in the crisis center and we usually have a team of 14 to 16 students that are
accepted they go through an application process and an interview process and then they attend a one-week training in the summer they give up a week of their summer for training and we also do a 3-day uh training retreat in the fall we we go away on a retreat for three days
and the students train to be active listeners problem solvers peer mediators they learn to recognize high-risk behaviors such as uh substance abuse bullying Dating Violence and suicidal
adiation they learn how to play an important role um through doing role plays to how to address each scenario and how to get an adult involved how to bridge a student to an adult should there be a high-risk behavior that they observe uh Mrs ban and I have received phone calls from different schools
across New Jersey over over the years asking about the program other schools that have been interested they hear about the amount of training involved and we have yet to have another school say that they've actively gone through and pursued having a crisis center um this year alone the crisis center has
handled 53 crisis situations um and each year since I have been a part of Crisis Center we've had at least one high-risk situation one life that has been saved as a result of the crisis center and on some years it's been more the crisis center team um they're
involved in a lot of different activities and sports some of our students here tonight are actually part of the play left rehearsal to come over here and speak with you um and I'm going to have them all come up and introduce themselves and share their names three of our students are going to give you a little bit about their experience in
crisis center Jana who sits as um a participant on the board Christina and Ada are going to share a little bit with you about their experiences I encourage our seniors to share where you're going to be going to school when you graduate if you'd like and um just a side note we
think mental health is important for all of our students so aside from the crisis center as of last year our Juniors all participate as part of their uh first aid class in What's called the Teen Mental Health First Aid um it is a six
session class where they all become certified Teen Mental Health forers this is a nationally recognized program that we instituted at the High School Mrs Costa Joanna zaraza and Carolyn diorio and myself go into the classes of all with all the Juniors and do these six
lessons and um I have to say I don't know of another principal who would take it so seriously that they would be part of the classroom lessons to make sure every student knows that they're important so with that I'm going to have our students introduce themselves thank you hi I'm Michaela and I'm a

people just need someone to talk to and a person to listen to them without judgment and pressure this is where I come in I've had the chance to sit with students who felt overwhelmed stressed or just needed a place to process their emotion I've realized how important it
is to have this Outlet recently we had the opportunity to go on the retreat where we focused on team building exercises to work together more effectively this was a very unique experience that has truly changed my life I am so grateful to participate in it I hope a lot of I hope more students

needed that to like really get my point across when I'm talking to others and CHR the Christ center training over the summer as well as the retreat has truly helped me enhance that um it also helped to teach me patience as well as helped me learn how to stay calm and like stay
in the moment um the training at The Retreat especially helped me with this whenever we um I had uh whenever like we asked for the time and we were told to stay in the moment because like it helped us be more present like focus on what we're doing
then and focus on the now instead of trying to focus and like rush to the Future um that especially helped us well help me um when I'm dealing with the crisis cuz I've had to deal with High um high-risk crisises in the past and the

all there great thank you um are there any other committee reports we'll start from my right and work our way down committee reports I do
okay sorry we were seeing Yana off um I have a technology committee report so Mr DeVito he found a much better platform that can host our website do the school email blast and do a direct communication between teachers and
parents he kind of referred to it as like a dojo type app um however it would be much less invasive parents don't need to download an app in order to receive the really important messages they would only need the app if they wanted to be able to direct message the teacher and
have and receive their messages um they would also be able to post updates as a digest instead of just these constant blooms blasts it would kind of be once a day where you can go in and see what was going on the new website this this will
be happening over the summer not not right now the new website will also have a staff email directory which we've been talking about for several years bringing that back where you can get a staff member's email address much more easily without having to log into Genesis and
search for it um they're also looking to have um updates throughout the the page so for example on the facilities section of the website it would say what was going on in the OR facilities on curriculum it would say what was going on in curriculum so not necessarily
board committee but districtwide um let's see I think that is that is it so far thank you good evening I have a uh facilities committee uh update so just one thing
starting April 1st the sports complex which includes the track and the tennis courts will be locked during school hours from 7:30 a.m. uh till 3: p.m. that's it I have a special education committee report the special education committee

um so for support services that takes care of attendance Health guidance media instructional staff training Capital outlay that's for any project s that we have that we have to go into Capital to
fund um it's a small percentage of our expenditures um Administration would be for General Administration superintendent business office principles and Technology um our out of District tuitions are just for that out of

the support services to the special education students an expansion of special education evaluation test kits they they are costly um and transition Services curriculum initiatives um we H
implemented Atlas curriculum manag management software last year um we did spend quite a bit of the summer and continue to um improve it write the curriculum into that software it is timec consuming um but a very worthwhile
tool it was suggested to uh Us by the county when they did our qac evaluation uh the high school and the middle school are going to be implementing a new math curriculum they're in the final stages of deciding uh which curriculum they want to use
that will be um hopefully paid out over the course of a couple years so it wouldn't have to all be paid out at the same time this year coming up uh new social studies curriculum um for grades 2 through eight uh the team from mcra
Hill will be out tomorrow to train some stud uh some teachers to Pilot their program they will be piloting the program from now until the end of the school year and that will give them a good idea as to whether they're comfortable and they like the curriculum so we'll probably be adopting that
there're supposed to be one of the best uh for social studies and continued development of intervention resources through the multi-tiered system mtss I know you hear a lot of that the acronyms um so you know now you know what that's all about
and intervention and referral services inrs again something that you hear a lot of people talk about um helping to support the students up dates to k through2 um functional literacy program youly phonics uh curriculum and Dibbles um

hello uh my name is Gina Perillo um I have two kids in the school system one in Sherman one at high school and it's funny that I came tonight because the crisis center kids were here and I want to tell you something as a parent whose
child has reached out to those students and those supervisors who have worked in that group has been utterly tremendous for my child who has found himself in school finding himself
struggling and to be able to go to his peers and the counselors the fact that Rosal park has this is so unbelievably beneficial not just to kids like mine but to everyone and I think that if we
can continue to make sure that program continues to go strong I think the better off our students will have the Safety and Security of getting up and going to school and knowing that if they need someone to talk to they's someone there and they get it because they're in
it so that's something I just I couldn't even believe that they were here and that this was the night that I came um so as a parent I felt moved to let you guys know that they're doing a phenomenal job and we need to continue to support them um and also to just touch on vice president's comments about
special education Rosel Park I my oldest started here in kindergarten we left we moved to Florida we moved back I could have gone anywhere in the state of New Jersey anywhere and I chose Rosel park because
the special education system that we have here in our district alone is phenomenal and I went to Union who was supposedly the best of the best so the fact that this our Tiny Town has such a wonderful program and continues
to support our students really means a lot to me as a parent for kids with special needs so I just wanted to come on say thank you and to please continue to support those two groups thank you thank

several students with some highrisk crises over the course of the year so far and she doesn't share detail with me she knows she's not supposed to but she just comes home and just you know kind of vents a little bit of just you know the the burden of it and the weight of it and she feels it and I'm glad that
those students are there for the other students that need it um it's it's a great resource and I'm just so happy that our school takes part in that and just want to say thank you thank you oh this is loud good evening everyone my name is
