you Dr thank you Dr janzy and members of the board it's it's certainly an honor um like I said to the boys I invited a lot of uh people from South Lakeville to listen to us tonight because our boys did a really good job on a a quick presentation um there's a lot of pressure for these three boys but I
picked the three boys I thought could handle the pressure at the most uh easiest level especially in front of a an executive board in and a large crowd like this so I'm going to turn over to our executive board of our student council at Kennedy School uh we look for
leadership uh from kindergarten all the way through fourth grade so we we watch that development it's a privilege for me as a uh as a principal to see these three boys come in the door for the very first time as kindergarteners and now about to leave us as fourth graders with
such leadership capabilities that I know Mr mccann's going to really be impressed by so I think you're going to share um in my applause at the end because they did a good job in their preparation okay at this time I'll turn over to our president this is Jack Fusa
[Music] good evening Dr tenzy Miss Melissa members of the board of education and everyone here tonight my name is Jack Beluzi and I'm the proud president of Kennedy School Student Council being president comes with a lot of responsibility like making sure Matthew
acknowledges i usually the debate by the way we are here tonight to talk about some of the wonderful programs our school offers to its students let's start with one of our favorite programs this year Tiger Tales this is where our fourth grade leaders are paired with
kindergarten students to work on team building and character education activities whether it's reading together or playing teamwork games we learn just as much from our kindergartener buddies as they learn from us i love watching how much our kindergartener buddies look
up to us and sometimes they literally look up to us because we're a whole head taller we also had an amazing time at our annual trunk retreat in October organized by an awesome JFK PTSO the creativity of all the parents who
decorated our trunks was so cool some of them were scarier than my math homework also the candy well let's just say I was worried about the dentist visit afterward but it was worth it another special moment program was our veterans day program in November we honored the
veterans in our Kennedy community including family members our students and staff it was a great reminder of various sacrifice and gratitude the men and women showed when they served our country it made us all feel proud and thankful for their service at Ky School
we believe that our true heroes in our life besides our parents are also those that risk their lives for us in the United States military branches and how will we ever forget the legendary St patrick's Day scavenger that just passed every year the students at Kennedy try
to catch the mischievous leprechaun and every year he somehow escapes i have a strong suspicion that the the leprechaun may or may not be look like Dr highland the fourth grade the fourth grade will certainly miss trying to catch him next year but we will anxiously wait to hear
if that will ever happen in our lifetime being swim council president has taught me a lot about leadership and also that tried to keep Matthew and Noah on task as a full-time job thank you again for letting us share the amazing things happening at Kennedy School i'll now
hand it over to my vice president Matthew Wallace [Applause] thank you Mr president to the community outside of our school is Jack Fuzzy the entire Mr president thing has taken me a while to get used to good evening

autism this Friday we'll have assembly and blow bubbles for autism blowing [Music] bubbles for autism started 15 years ago in New Jersey with Kyle Mosa and his preschool class

to hear what's happening in the school um and the recognition for the students in the high school um extracurriculars I mean all their hard work after school in addition to the academics they do during school and extracurricular activities are also very important for the
education and enjoyment of all students it it builds friendships and it introduces them to lifelong experiences which they may not be able to get during the regular school day but they can pursue outside of the school day and uh it's great to see the recognition and the large amount of kids that are

any discussion please vote yes mr yes mr gakus yes mr pissy yes mr cesleberg yes mr chapman yes mr castia yes finance move hold on a second
a through X so move second all right as part of the discussion portion I'm going to say a few words as you may know the district is severely underfunded for the 2526 school year while the district costs continue to
rise above the board across the board current state funding formula has resulted in a $1.6 million reduction in state aid from last year the rise in expenditures and standard increases such as employee salaries and health benefits when compared to the restrictive 2% tax levy cap resulted in
the district operating in a deficit for very first day from the very first day of budget preparation for the upcoming 2526 school year because we are unable to raise the amount of money the state calculates that the school district must spend to provide its students with a thorough and efficient education we are
considered to be under adequacy since we fall into the status the state has notified us that we are one of approximately 300 districts in the state and we qualify for a one-time tax levy incentive option to close the gap in the district's budget this means we are able
to apply to New Jersey Commission for of Education for permission to increase the tax levy in order to meet the standard tonight we'll be voting on a resolution to request permission from the commissioner to raise the tax levy levy to the maximum allowable amount for the
202526 school year in order to reach adequacy while this will result in increased taxes for the South Planefield taxpayers we assure you that we did not make this decision lightly however we were simply left with no other choice without doing
so we will be required to to increase class sizes cut programs eliminate numerous faculty staff and administrative positions which would be devastating to the district not only next year but far into the future given our limited options we feel that this is a necessary step in order
to continue to provide our students with a highquality education giving them the greatest likelihood of success for the future to not take advantage of this opportunity no matter the consequences and or backlash would be irresponsible thank you anybody else
roll call please mr b yes uh I'm standing on myself on letter J should I decide to go down to the convention on paper myself mr espen yes mr giannis yes i'm standing
