those? Seeing none, I'll ask Mr. Whitford to please enter those. and we are very excited to welcome back our student representative Sarah Aorio for her second year. Excellent. Uh so I will turn it over to you for the report
of the student representative. Thank you. Good evening. I hope you all had a great summer. With school just starting, there's a lot of energy in the building and everyone's really happy to be back. Fall sports have just opened up and are going very well so far. The football team is now 2 and 0 after a win
on Friday. Many many RHS clubs are starting to have their first meetings this week to plan for the year ahead. The fall pep rally is this Friday, September 12th, and so is the senior sunrise, which my class is definitely looking forward to. Um, back
to school night is next Thursday, September 18th, and many student council members will be volunteering to help any parents with questions. The freshman class will also be electing their student council representatives soon. and students are getting excited for the
homecoming dance coming up on October 3rd as well as the parade and football game the next day and we will be electing the homecoming court soon. So that's all I have for tonight with school just starting but I'm looking forward to another year of these reports. All right, thank you.
Walking around looking lost a little bit. So what are you most looking forward to this year? Um I don't know. Uh, I guess the end of the year stuff like prom and stuff, but that's still a little far away. Got it. Got it. I'm glad you name
something specific as opposed to just end of the year. But no, that sounds great. application. You know, um you mentioned the energy and um well, you mentioned the energy and I um do think that this year, you
know, when I walked around, I may have mentioned this in the communication I sent to you folks when I went to every building on opening day. Um it really was um you didn't know it was opening day. I mean, the the classrooms in all the grade levels, there was instruction
going on. Um it it was a order already in the but you know even in the elementarymentaries where you know the kids have to kind of get reaclimated to lining up and moving to class you know you would think you we were a couple of weeks in and that's a credit uh to the students and it's a credit to the faculty and staff and the administration
really was a very good opening and a lot of positive energy coming in. So we want to keep that going right we're going to keep that going uh all year. So thank you and thank the students. Yeah. Thank you. Uh any questions from board members? Have a wonderful year. Thank you.
Thank you. And you're more than welcome to to stay. I don't know yet. Yeah, we know you don't have any homework yet. It's too early in the evening. Um but yeah, you can feel free to stay and if you have other obligations this evening, we understand that as well.
So, thank you. Thank you. All right, I will turn it over to Mr. Hurley for the report of the superintendent. Thank you. And just to echo what we just talked about, a good opening, uh, we also had a good, um, very good and productive new teacher orientation. Um,
and I thank Mrs. Jones and Mr. Healey for being at the lunchon. Um, we also, I think, had a really good opening as we always do, both the big meeting with the entire district and Dr. Aotti's video as always well received and Mrs. Jones um,
as normal makes an appearance and uh, we like we we appreciate her being there. Um, and then the rest of the day and a half was, I think, I'm sure more productive for the teachers as they went back to their buildings and were able to get, you know, things going and we had a very good opening. Uh, I encourage you,
um, you know, to keep apprised of the, uh, calendar on the on the on the website, uh, things that we put out, things put out on social media. Uh, I'll do my best to always keep you informed of things, uh, that are going on. Um, I want to introduce uh Miss Jenny
Ostro who is our new TV person. She's behind the camera. So, we welcome her uh replacing uh Mr. Met um who people have heard me mention Mr. Met many many times throughout the years at meetings. Never saw him. He is a real person and uh so
is Mr. So, we welcome her to the district and welcome her to this role. I don't have a big report tonight, but I do have a couple of of uh reports I have to give. And the first is uh our CQAC results. Uh as we talked about last
year, QAC comes every three years. Uh we were rated that's a again for those people who are going to be watching this later. That is essentially an audit of our entire operations um every component instruction program, fiscal management, governance, operations, personnel. It
looks at the board of education through um operations and governance. looks at uh all of our faculty, staff, programs, co-curricular, and we were once again deemed the highest rating, which is a high performing district. Uh which in the old days would have meant we would have had a waiver. We don't get the
waiver anymore, but I think it's a good thing. I really do think it's a good thing not to have the waiver because it's a lot of work, but it does make you dive into a lot of areas every three years that you might not dive into. Um the results are pretty much what we expected. We we lost a few points in
fiscal management. uh that was due to you know that uh purchasing uh concern that was in two audits and even though that was corrected right and we talked about that if you have a mark in two audits you automatically lose the points so even though it was corrected
before QAC came in and the points in instruction and program primarily that comes from the state testing so every year we're scoring in the high 80s because they're looking at you know the the goal for state testing and even if we're scoring above average, we're
still falling a little short. Uh there was one area and one curriculum area that we uh needed to address. Um lost a couple of points there, but that's going to be I think addressed through Atlas. So all in all, it was a very good uh report. Uh pretty much what we expected and um highly performing. You can't be
higher than that. Every year I have to give a um update on pathways to graduation and um that just tells you tells the public and the board the ways students
qualify to graduate based on the the graduation test. Right? So we had 198 students last year graduate. Six of them were out of district students. 192 were in district students. uh the number of graduates graduates who met the
graduation assessment either by passing the state test or by a competency test that could be in place of the state test was 173. We had nine students who had to do the portfolio in math. Uh nine who had to do
both ELA and math and two had to do just ELA. So 20 students graduated by presenting a portfolio that the state reviews as opposed to passing the test. And we had um five students who met
their um graduation requirement through alternate requirements specified in their IEPs through their uh special education plan. We had 12 students not graduate uh due to their continuing education at the 18
to 21 program. So they completed their high school requirement. Now they move on to either our bulldog academy or they move to an out of district placement in 18 to 21. If you recall, that's one of the things I've been talking about that uh a group of us superintendent are
trying to push the state into recognizing these students as graduates either at the age of high school or at 21. So they're not marked as a non-graduate. right now they're all marked as non-graduates which is unfair to them and unfair to the district as
well. Um so no student was denied graduation u due to the failure to meet graduation assessment requirements. So we were 100% on that even though our graduation rate won't show 100% because of the 18 to 21 students.
Okay. Um, and the annual or I guess two times a year I have to report uh the SA student safety data system incident report and hip trainings. So you have the detail report is in the agenda. Uh I like to
look at it that we had 51 incidents in the district uh total for the year that would be quoted as either violence, vandalism, substance or weapon. Um and again those are heavy terms, but they don't necessarily
they're not necessarily as heavy as they may be. A student that has a pen knife with them, that's considered a weapon. Okay? U someone who gets into a pushing match, that's considered a fight. That's violence, right? So, when you have 51
total across six buildings and 183 days and 2,700 students, uh those numbers are not alarming. Okay. um at least not to me. The 122 other incidents that led to suspension are
things like excessive tardies, um maybe disrespectful behavior, um failure to comply with an administrative request. Uh they do not rise to the level of state reporting for the the big ones, but they still have to be reported to the state.
In terms of hibs, I was um surprised last year that we had four alleged hibs and three found hibs. I mean, that's a very low number. Um and I'd like to think that some of the trainings and programs we're doing are paying off. And the trainings and programs that are
reported annually, uh 63 uh trainings for the year, programs for the year, those are geared towards students. uh programs that would be considered um positive behavior that would lead to not
doing a hit, right? Um and 45 trainings as for the faculty and staff. As you probably recall, at either the next meeting or the meeting that follows, you'll be asked to approve our self assessment score based on the number of
trainings and programs. So, you're going to see these numbers. Again, there's a lot of redundancy uh that I have to do in reporting this data every year. I know it gets a little confusing sometimes. You see the same number two or three three times. Uh restraint and seclusion. Our special education
teachers, our administrators, and some other teachers are are trained in um safely restraining a student in a special ed program or in any program that may need it. Um, we have to have people trained when you have uh
self-contained classes that we have. Uh, we had none last year that we had to do. Uh, which again is a good a good sign because it doesn't mean the students aren't having certain issues, but we're able to handle them uh before they get to the point that someone has to do this training. But we we restraining but we
do have staff that gets trained every year uh in doing this properly. Okay. So, those are the reports that I have to give. If anybody has any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Other than that, um, you know, I I wanted to mention, well, I don't have any
questions. I'll mention the one other thing I wanted to mention. Good. Okay. Um, two quick things. Uh, you know, enrollment on the elementary level is always something we're interested in because it is both u the buildings where we have a little less flexibility and
also it means that those numbers are probably going to grow as the years go on. Uh we have 189 total fresh uh freshman grade one students. We have u 191 grade 2 students and we have 201 grade three students. Those are all
pretty healthy class sizes in the elementary level and we have 180 right now in kindergarten again which is a good size um to the beginning. So those are you know when we look at numbers at 200 we start getting that's a big class. Well,
we have one already there and we have uh three in the on deck circle. So, um positive about the school, positive about the community, but again, you know, those numbers are getting large. The parent survey, the first of the surveys we talked about, the ones going
out to parent for school uh climate is scheduled to go out via connect five message email to parents and guardians on September 10th. It's going to be open until October 3rd. We are sending it strictly to parents uh prek through 12
including out of district students via email because we don't want to post it on the web because we're trying to keep the responses pure that this is a parent survey. We want parents to answer it, not somebody in Nebraska who happens to go on our our
website. So, um if you're a parent of a student in district, you'll see the survey. um it closes October 3rd and then we'll have that company I spoke about will put together a report give to me. I'll digest it and then I'll share
it uh with the board. Okay. So that's where we're at. I'll be speaking of this uh survey again even though the email is going out on the 10th at each back to school night that I speak at via in person or uh via the video. I'll be
talking to the parents about the survey and encourage them to participate in it. Okay. The one thing that may I mean it says 10 to 15 minutes. It shouldn't take anybody 10 to 15 minutes. I think it'd be done quicker. But the one thing that parents and the directions will explain
this if you have students in multiple buildings, uh we're going to ask that you do multiple surveys because it's going to ask that you identify a school and we'll only let you identify one school. And that's because, you know, regardless of how we may choose to
report everything, we want to see what thoughts are about individual schools. I mean, one person might feel that communication from one building is great. They they get timely information, not so great in another building. So, we want to be able to see, you know, by
building uh what information's out there. Okay. So, that's maybe the only thing that some people might find cumbersome. And they have kids in three or four schools. They're either gonna have to pick one or do it three or four times. Okay. All right. So, that's it for my report. Uh looking forward to a
really good year. I I mean, all signs are we're going to have one. And again, um homecoming will be coming up. We'll talk about that at the 29th meeting, right? All you want to talk about tonight because we usually Yeah. Uh Okay. So, I'm done. All right.
All right. Questions from Mr. Eurley. Um my only question so you talked about some of the grades like being a little bit large and just being a watch. So as a board in terms of how we should be thinking about that strategically there's kind of two areas I think about. One is space uh and the other is
resources whether it's you know personnel you know otherwise. So is that how we should be well sort of thinking about it down the line? Well you know yes and no right. I mean in in kindergarten center Washington and
Lincoln we are we don't have much space other than what we have. It just means larger classes. Um you know ideally we like to keep classes at 25 or less on those grade levels. So when you get over 200
you know you're getting over 25. But there isn't really an alternative. Getting another teacher is not necessarily going to help because there's not another classroom to put them in. the referendum uh project increased the size of Peront um and
Union School and to a lesser extent the high school where larger numbers are more manageable in terms of the way the scheduling works. So I think from space where you know low 200s are not going to be catastrophic in those buildings per
grade level. It could be down the road we do need to look at staffing there because we might have to run additional sections of a English or physical education you know when you get to that kind of scheduling. So yes and no you know I mean uh in the
immediate no and um what you know we hope to be able to do I think teachers and administrators and um parents have to understand that if the numbers get a little big in some of those classes there's not much we could do about it at those at those grade levels. Uh the only
space we had to add in elementary if you remember was at Lincoln where we added the two classes. Uh but we didn't have any room at Washington and we didn't have any room at the K center when we did the referendum. Um you'll if you look at also there is one extra uh
section at Washington because of the way we assigned our special ed population. We felt it was better to have some of the uh MD the multiply disabled classes instead of having one in Washington and one in Lincoln uh we put them both in Lincoln
so that the teachers and the aids would have you know enable to have collegial interaction. So that allowed Washington to have one extra class. So right now on the grade um two level because last year um prior to
Miss Axon coming on, Miss McCay wanted it to be grade one, the extra section. So grade two has 109 students at Washington. There's 82 at Lincoln, but that's because there's five sections at Washington. Next year there's going to be five third grade sections because
I'll have to move up. Uh after that, we're going to see. I mean, I want to take a look. Maybe maybe uh having that extra bubble isn't a great thing. You know, we can see how we could balance things differently going forward. So, that's where we're at. I I'm not concerned, you know, in fact, it's a
good thing. It's good, you know, instead of having declining enrollment. It's good speaks well to the the bureau. It speaks well to this education system. Um and as long as the numbers stay manageable K to three, you know, we manage when they get to the other grants.
Sounds good. Any questions from board members? All right, hearing none, then we will move on to the report of the president. Uh so just first off, congratulations Mr. Hurley and team on a successful beginning of the school year. Um hope
hopefully the honeymoon phase of the school year lasts for weeks and weeks. Um depends who you ask. Yeah. Um appreciate also the reflections on the past year. um kind of the analysis you did is really helpful just to get a snapshot of
some of the big elements of the school year. Um and good luck with back to school nights uh all coming up this week and next week. Uh so two things I wanted to briefly touch on. Uh this evening in the
uh curriculum and instruction section, I believe yes, we will be approving board goals. And since we're recording this evening, I thought I can just sort of elevate those for all the people who will be watching this video at a later point. Um, so
over the summer, uh, the board discussed a variety of priorities and goals. And so on the agenda for approval this evening are board goals, um, that, uh, first off support the Rutherford schools district goals. And uh that's all in the
board agenda, but there are a lot of district goals. So that one goal is very meaty where uh we're looking to support align with and monitor the priorities around um strengthening achievement in different subject areas, ELA, science and math. Deepening the integration of
the profile of a Rutherford graduate, which is something that was rolled out last year that we were focused on implementing the Atlas curriculum platform. That's where teachers document curriculum that's happening in all the grade levels and subjects and advancing the responsible use of artificial
intelligence. So that's very exciting to be able to support those things to hear updates about how those uh big district priorities are going. Um as well our our second goal is to support and steward the superintendent 2526 comprehensive survey initiative which is
really exciting that uh you know we'll be able to hear more about um the different survey findings for uh different folks in the community who are involved with the school um to really understand student climate and culture
um and things that will inform short and long-term planning. And then uh finally, a board favorite uh communication is really important uh to the board uh in terms of community outreach. So that continues to be a goal, continuing to implement a board community outreach,
communications plan, and further utilize the board social media accounts. Um so I think those are really robust goals. There are three goals, but they're probably about eight goals stuffed into three. Um so um that is something that
can be further discussion once uh we move into the curriculum and instruction section. But just wanted to elevate that so the community understands uh those goals. And uh finally something that we are going to be doing starting this
evening is we're going to be moving forward with a consent agenda at each board meeting moving forward. Um, so I believe the Thursday before a board meeting, the agenda for the board meeting goes up on the district's
website and that means that anyone of the Rutherford schools has access to is that right? Thursday Friday before um anyone who wants to can have access to the board agenda. So what a consent agenda does is allows us to spend less
time reading the things that everyone in the community has access to and more time with discussions uh that are relevant to uh questions wanting to hear more about certain areas. Um so that is something that uh we think will be
helpful. But for those who watch uh the videos of these meetings or for those who come to the meeting in person, make sure you have the agenda so that you can read um all of the different motions that are happening. Uh that is it for my
president's remarks. Any questions or comments? All right. Uh then at 7:25 p.m. we are going to open the meeting to the public for any items related to the agenda. Uh hearing no comments, we are going to
close the meeting also at 7:25 p.m. And we're going to move on to new business where there is action to be taken and I will turn it over to Mrs. Cole for personnel. All right. Good evening. So, I guess I'm going to be the first person to
do the consent agenda since I always speak the most. Yeah. So, you No pressure. Uh, so for personnel, we did not have a meeting this month and we have 26 motions to be for uh put forward tonight at the recommendation of the superintendent and I would like to move all 26 motions
as listed under personnel. All right. Thank you, Mrs. Cole. Do we have a second on that, Mr. Bezosian? All right. Uh discussion and questions on any of the items in personnel. No. All right. Uh then I will ask Mr.
Whitford to please take role. Mr. McGoan. Yes. Mrs. Cole. Yes. Mr. Kiy? Yes. Mr. Healey? Yes. Mrs. Jones? Yes. Mr. Mone? Yes. Dr. Rine? Yes. Mr. Spayberry? Yes. Dr. Alotti? Yes. Motion carries.
All right, we are going to move on now to curriculum and instruction. Mr. Jones, thank you. We did not have a curriculum instruction meeting and tonight there are seven motions that are put forth on the recommendation of the superintendent.
All right. Would you like to move those? I move resol motions one through seven. All right. Do we have a second on that, Mr. Mone? All right. Uh discussion and questions from board members. Mr. Spurberry. Yeah. Um, just Mr. Earl, I'd like I see the,
you know, JP goes to themies and stuff. So, I, you know, kind of follow it as we go through the years and stuff and like there's a few years there, you know, the the enrollment low. You see like three here, see there, and you look at this year and in the last few years, you look
at it, the enrollment's gone up. Is that due to more applications? Is that due to them opening up their door? Is it um I mean, like there's a lot I mean 11 just like at Teter alone. I mean that's just well a lot of kids out of our district out out of Rutherford which is great right some of these programs are general
ed kids uh some of these programs are special ed students where they're IEP might dictate that so I you know it could be that some numbers that are high is because certain students are as part of their IEP um you know I think the
numbers are pretty consistent uh Tito is a little higher this year grade nine um we also see that uh the numbers do seem to trend lower as time goes on because we do get students who return uh to district. Um
some of the programs do a very great job of recruiting. Um but um I think sometimes you know the graph seems greener and then they come back. So um I don't know specifically why Tito hasn't bumped this year. It might be for what I the reason I gave about certain students
with an IEP. Okay. Thank you. All right, other questions or comments? If I could just add the overnight trip number seven, that's always done um in advance in the event that we have students who qualify since overnight
trips have to be approved. You'll see some at some point for one or two athletic events, too. And it may turn out that no one qualifies, but to get it approved uh ahead of time, um that's what we do. And I also I mentioned this to the committee when they met or we met
and I mentioned it at the last board meeting that was not uh recorded that um I appreciate and the uh administrators and supervisors and I think the faculty appreciate the the cohesion of the goals and the support that the board uh gives
by u modeling or or um you know combining some of the district goals with board goals so that we're all moving in the right direction together and it sends a I think a very powerful message to uh the folks in the buildings that the board is behind the initiatives
going on. So I appreciate that. All right. Any other questions from board members hearing? None. Mr. Witford, please take role. Mr. McGoan, yes. Mrs. Cole, yes. Mr. Ky, yes. Mr. Healey, yes. Mrs. Jones,
yes. Mr. Mr. Mone, yes. Dr. Rsine, yes. Mr. Spayberry, yes. Dr. Elotti, yes. Motion's carried. All right. Thank you. We're going to move on now to finance. Mr. Bezosian. Uh, we did not have a It's not on either. We did not have a finance
committee meeting since our last full board meeting. Uh, tonight on the agenda, we have eight motions to consider. Uh, I would like to move motions one through eight under finance. All right, we have a second. Uh, Mr. Sprayberry. Uh questions, comments, discussion on finance.
Can you just comment about the uh St. Mary's stuff? Yeah. Motions 5 through eight. We're we're a pass through. So money comes from state or federal to us and every year. All right. Other questions? Sorry about that, Mr. Wood.
No, you got it. That's just showing off the finance stuff I talk about. You know, he gets all the he gets all these accolades. Remember I know something about these things. All right. Any other discussion or questions?
All right. Hearing none. Mr. Woodford, please take a roll. Mr. Bosian, yes. Mrs. Cole, yes. Mr. Ki, yes. Mr. Healey, yes. Mrs. Jones, yes. Mr. Mone, yes to all noted. Uh, Dr. Rene,
yes. Mr. Spayberry, yes. Dr. Ali, yes. Motions carry. All right. Thank you. We'll move on now to policy. Mr. Healey. Yes. Uh we did not have a policy committee meeting since our last board meeting. Uh tonight we as a second
reading. There's one resolution uh with 12 andor uh reg pol policies and regulations as listed uh being put forth as a second reading. All right. Thank you, Mr. putting those forward. Do we have a second on that, Mr. Ki? Uh questions or discussion? This
is the second reading that we're approving. All right. Hearing none. Thank you, Mr. Healey. Uh, Mr. Witford, please take role. Mr. Poan, yes. Mrs. Cole, yes. Mr. Ki, yes. Mr. Healey, yes. Mrs. Jones, yes. Mr. Mison, yes.
Dr. Rine, yes. Mr. Spayberry, yes. Dr. Lahi, yes. Motions carry. All right. Uh, we'll move on now to buildings and grounds. Mr. Brayberry, we did not have a meeting uh uh since the last uh full board uh meeting and
there are no items on the agenda. All right. Uh then we will move on to old business. Any old business? I assume there will be at some point. I saw the Lhurst Rutherford volleyball game and all the teams won.
The varsity JV and the freshman won. All right. So that's a big achievement for beating Lynhurst. They're always good. I'm impressed that you already had an old business report. I didn't think it was possible with the four days of school. Jeez.
Right. Awesome. Um, any other old business? All right, we'll move on to legislative update. I found one that's actually 50%. You every time I start reading these, they're always introduced and that means they've moved 25% on their way to
passage if it goes that far. This one was introduced November 18th, 2024 and it's a 50% and this is New Jersey Senate Bill 3858 sponsored by Anthony Bucko from Morris and Bay County requires school bus
personnel members to call 911 emergency line in potential life-saving emergencies. requires either school buses transporting students with disabilities to be equipped with with certain safety features. Kind of seems common sense.
Maybe that's why he said 50%. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Um um one quick legislative update. You know, I me I've been mentioning a couple of meetings. I mentioned it tonight about this uh committee, this adhoc
committee that we had a meeting scheduled down in Trenton next week with a uh legislative committee to talk about the 18 to 21 graduation I referred to before and uh we were notified last week, two weeks before the meeting that
the um committee is not they're not going to have any subcommittee hearings until after the election. So, um I won't editorialize on that, but but um you know, it seemed like they knew when the election was when they set the meeting back in June. And of course, the
election, then there's December, then there's inaugural, then there's getting up and running, which equals to another school year goes by before we even get hurt. So, it was a little frustrating. Um uh the committee is still going to meet next week to figure out how we
could voice our um our uh opinion about about the cancellation. So just so I'll let you know. All right. Uh just uh real quick going back to old business. So uh homecoming is on Saturday, October 4th, and for the
last couple years, the members of the board of education have been invited to walk in the homecoming parade. Uh, so would love to get a strong showing and Saturday, October 4th. What What's the time we'd have to meet in the morning? I have to double check because as an SAT, okay, it's usually like 11, but
with the SAT, it's probably going to be a little later. Uh, we do have a meeting on the 29th. So, I'll double check the time and get it out to you, you know, no later than the packet going out before the 29th, but sooner if I can. Okay. Okay. So, by next meeting, just be prepared to
talk about whether you think you can come or not, just so we can let Mr. Morano know in terms of uh folks walking. All right. Nice opportunity to be visible and supportive. Uh all right. Uh then at 7:36 p.m. we're
going to open the meeting again to the public for anything related to or not related to the agenda. And hearing nothing, we are going to close the meeting at 7:36 p.m. We have no need for an executive session, which means we entertain a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Bugosian, seconded by Mrs. Cole. All in favor? I. All right, we are adjourned. Thank you.
