of this job um okay so board secretary report thank you um I'm going to give a little background on the presentation of the 2526 uh tenative budget uh the process of the budget is we have to um we have to approve to submit it to the county
the county reviews it they come back to us with any questions and then we have a hearing on the budget at our meeting in May so I will give a little overview right now and the board will vote to submit it to the county for their review um Mo board motion uh Finance item number
19.10 is the budget itself and it lays out what the what the general fund is special Revenue fund we have no Debt Service fund and the total budget and tax levy uh the the fiscal year 2526 budget is 64
m323 791 it's basically a flat budget once the construction projects are removed each year we do different construction projects and they're funded by capital reserve so in order to compare one year to the next we we reverse them out and
the budget is flat it decreased actually by 99% Which is less than 1% all current education programs have been maintained the net state aid that we received is 5,249
255 uh which is relatively flat with a decrease of $253,600 the local tax levy is 53 million $494,900 which is the cap uh the cap amount that you can increase the budget by without adding banked cap or any
other questions uh that amount the 2% is 1,489 120 uh the 2% increase on our local tax levy in our budget equates to a 1.93% increase to taxpayers and that's because the ratables increased so the
tax levy get spread out amongst the higher number um so that's actually good that it's less than 2% the impact on the average house valued at $263,500 52 per year or
$687 per month based on the property tax values and income in vor's Township the state's calculation of the local fair share is actually 61,2 60,1 196 and in comparison the to the tax levy that we
that we have is 53 mil 494 so they're saying our fair share would be 61 million our tax levy is 53 million uh we it's hard to go up to the number that they want because that's much more than 2% of an increase uh in fiscal year 25
the local tax levy represented 77% of our general fund budget so most of our budget is funded by the local tax levy versus state aid uh for comparison purposes nearby towns such as eam Mount Laurel and Medford their tax levy ranges from
80.5% to 85.4% of their local tax levy so we come in less than those towns when it when it's in comparison um included in this budget are capital projects and required maintenance it's less this year because we have done a lot of large projects in the past um over the past
five years in fiscal year 2526 the following reserves Reserve funds will be used for these capital projects uh of capital reserve we're using $68,400 363 I'm sorry 45600 , 363 and that can be used towards uh
required maintenance that's in our budget we have a small amount left in our emergency reserve of $4,049 that's actually tied to interest that we earned on the amount that was in there before and that can only be withdrawn for health care premiums that
are above the 4% increase and security so we're taking that out and applying it towards our health care premiums which went up 12.1% uh the balance that's remaining in the capital reserves for future projects for capital reserve is 2 million for maintenance Reserve is
500,000 uh we've had no bond issues in the past 15 years and all construction projects have been completed using capital reserve and Grant funds uh the budget includes uh the purchase of desktop and laptop computers HVAC equipment and textbook adoptions
being financed through a lease purchase over the useful life of the asset which is either three or five years and 19.4 in the in the agenda is to authorize to go out for lease purchase financing our our financing is really like Municipal
financing so it's it's a lower interest rate um again that's not considered Bond debt that's just a financing it's a lease financing over three or five years other ways other things that we did in the budget or ways that we Balan the
budget are we allocated $150 per student for school supplies and that um is based on historical trends uh health insurance and prescription premiums as I said went up 12.1% that seems a little high but the state health benefits went up even a lot
more I think theirs one up what 17% yeah so I mean it's good that we're not in State Health state health benefits at this point because ours is 12.1% we're part of a school's Health Insurance Fund uh pulled pulled Insurance Fund um there's contractual increases for the
for the various salaries and the CPI is designated by the state at 3.57% and what that's used for is if we renew any of our transportation routes the vendor can increase it by 3.57% that's a lesser rate than we've
had in the last two years the last two years they could increase at 5.81 or 5.87 before that it used to only go up like 1% a little over 1% so it's good that it's going down again uh but again it's it's difficult to balance a budget because you have these certain items
that are going up and you're only raising taxes by 2% so there has to be some you know looking at different accounts to see where we can change things uh part of the thing one of the things that we're changing is we're going to consolidate the kindergarten bus routes there used to be bus routes designated just for kindergarten
students we're going to incorporate the kindergarten students onto the K onto it'll be a K through five bus route rather than first through five fifth grade uh so that will save some money there um we're also changing the registered Behavior technician RBT R
structure by offering stiens to instructional AIDS and obtaining competitive bids for the contracted RBT Services we're restructuring the use of our lead teachers and we've reduced various line items as appropriate we went through every every line item of the budget to see whether we used that
line or not and then we we took some away we reduced some and all that to make a pretty much flat budget with a 2% tax increase um the detail like I said is all listed on finance item 19. 10 that shows the general fund amount the
special special Revenue fund is our grant fund that also includes the preschool budget um the local tax levy as I said is 53 milion 494 899 we also in the motion it shows what the capital reserve withdrawal is it shows what the
capital reserve is being used for it shows the maintenance Reserve withdrawal the emergency Reserve withdraw and also we have to put put out what the travel regulations are uh that's really um mostly seminars and classes that people might go to that's just something that
has to be disclosed as well so that's one of the items in that category so that's all I have for the budget but that will be voted on tonight to submit to the county for the review thank you thank you superintendent

the mic gets turned on when you come up okay perfect thank you here F take your time my iPad does not like to open all the way in a stand and I don't want to see in the way of the M microphone good evening B Township Board
of Education members and administrations my name is Lauren Doyle and I'm speaking to you tonight as a parent educator and Community member as I stand before you I have many questions and concerns over events that have occurred to my daughter over the past month at vores middle school with regard
to Hib and including words that will be heard this morning I'm a fierce believer in the power and value of voice when my daughter came to me at the beginning of February to tell me that another student was calling her fat ugly a mol rat and spreading sship gossip of a sexual
nature I said have you told an adult this continued over the course of a week and each time she came home and she said I spoke to an adult and the answer was similar I was told the the other student will never admit to it so they can't do anything about it she spoke to adults four times as an educator for 19 years
in the state of New Jersey as a PhD and education scholar and as someone who is working towards your credentialing in school administration I two things policy and statute cannot be selectively enforced and my child was being gaslit on February 20th I emailed Mrs in Mr winet and Mr buelli citing the state
statute for harassment intimidation and bullying laws in New Jersey as well as btps Boe policies 5512 and 5600 while there was immediate action in terms of an investigation being launched and the HIV being substantiated there was not immediate action in my daughter and the
other student being separated in the following days the harassment of my daughter continued and she was struck by by a ball in fad that was thrown by one of the aggressor friends when questioned by Mr winset the P teacher initially said it was part of the game but my daughter was outside of the tennis courts she was not being supervised
there was no separation of the students because of the lack of supervision due the nature of the ball strike and combination with a previous injury sustained from wrestling she now needs six weeks of physical therapy the harassment by the student and his friends continued to escalate in the Halls during lunch and in fed after
Consulting with an attorney I filed a second HIV online still after the second Hib filing more action was not taken until I included Dr Hackett on a follow-up email 48 hours later at which point immediate action was taken my daughter has had physical and mental health damages as a result of the lack of action by vor's Middle School
administration on February 24th I was forced to call for for care and mobile response was deployed immediately in an attempt to seek mental health stabilization fortunately I have the tools resources and knowledge to help her but I'm left wandering why we don't have better resources in place as a school community and Township when my T
child why was my child further victimized and not protected why has there not been conflict resolution or mediation between these students what actions are going to be put into place to help the aggressor resolve their own internal conflict obviously there's this child needs help as well as a community why do we accept this as a climate and
culture in a place where our children are meant to go and grow every day it is our responsibility to be the change we want to see in the world the lack of action for restorative justice as well as regular and strategic schoolwide prevention practices show me that the administration is complacent with students acting in these manners
webinars are simply not enough instead of picking up the pieces after the trauma it is my hope that there will be actionable changes steering our children to become civically engaged empathetic and compassionate leaders in the world and of tomorrow thank you thank you very much
uh good evening uh the play was amazing in fact the two teachers who ran it also were graduates of the school um in fact both teachers who did it their parents are also work for the school district um I have a couple couple observations on the agenda items um one it was a great
public uh great discussion of the reports but once again we didn't change the order of item so we would not hear any of the comments from the Committees until after we have public participation so I would hope that um that policy would be a change 164 so if we were
going to talk that we could then have a public participation before anything's voted on um two um I was reading the policy 5111 um I wasn't sure it says that the executive County Superintendent it sets
up what our um tuition rate would be I was wondering what it is um two on that policy we also now changed it that a nonresident who is in the process of buying building or renting can come here for 12 weeks before living here and then
have to show proof after that and then pay tuition currently if they want to come here in the process of that they would have to pay tuition and I checked a lot of districts and a lot of districts are still having them pay um it also becomes a catch 21 that I say I
sign a lease then I never sign a lease then you're playing catchup to find out that so we've now changed that they would be able to come here for 12 weeks even though at that time they're not a resident I get the hardship especially building but um at that point they're not of warhe he's taxpayer um and most
districts I checked about seven um still have that policy we we've adjusted that um the next one I was going to ask is the audio surveill surveillance on policy 7441 want I know currently we have video is the goal in the policy to
add audio and if they add audio um because right now all of our signs say clearly video is the goal to add audio and then if you add audio what cameras would you be adding it to if that's the case um I struggle with that idea of having audio throughout the school I
understand as um security might say it might help us hear what's going on but at the same point time I think it's a slippery slope I can definely see an advantage but if we're deciding to add audio which I'm not saying we are I'm just asking um I would have some concerns with that and a lot of um
people I spoke to um seem to have that an issue with that so it might not it might be mo might just be we're adding new cameras um I also wanted to congratulate two retirees lesie Maser John yei and I did have one more thing the the bill paid list the formats
changed substantially I'm sure it's probably according to category but now when I look at the new bill list I have to really go through to find what's being paid whereas this one I can just go up by the knee yep um and I have a couple questions preschool but I'll do
that in the regular open portion thank you no additional questions um board comments hearing no board comments um we are moving to the business portion of the meeting um we will move into the
business portion of the meeting we want to uh we want to recognize that it may appear as if the board takes action with very little comment and in many cases unanimous vote before an item is placed on a board agenda it is Thoroughly reviewed by the superintendent and administrator ation the superintendent
then presents the recommended action to the appropriate board committee and works with the committee to ensure that the members fully understand the recommendation once the committee is satisfied the item is placed on the board agenda for discussion and action at a public meeting board agendas are made available to the board members several days in advance of the meeting
giving us ample time to review the agenda and have all of our questions answered further we are kept up to- dat between meetings on the ongoing work of the administration and the important issues in the district all of the all of these efforts Ensure that we are well informed and prepared to take action at
our meetings moving to policy can I get a motion to approve all of the items under policy so moved second a crystal crystal online voting is open

involving Personnel litigation negotiations and attorney client privilege the board will now hear comments from the public comments are limited to 3 minutes the board will not take action this evening you will be notified at some later time by letter electronic mail telephone or in the context of a later board meeting of any
action the board does take I'll start off by wishing everybody a happy holiday because I don't think we have a board meeting between then um just had a couple questions on the preschool I wasn't sure if we're on Target still for the opening um and with 95 students I'm sure we'll get more in and I think that was a great thing you
know having non-resident staff be able to have their children attend that I think I know the answer is there any thought in having some of this prechool kids that are at our outside providers come in I'm sure there's I'm I think I know the answer but I wasn't sure um and
I I appreciate a couple things I just wanted to see how we're using our staff because if we only have 95 students now and I'm sure some will be Gibbs barl we'll be able to utilize all that staff that we hired um I'm sure it'll grow um and I'm sure hopefully it'll get higher
than that um but making sure that we could utilize them and also if we were taking the time now to utilize um some of the staff to really get them trained so I know our nurse is at our school she trains she goes over there she's already setting up how to do her paperwork um
how to get ready for all that so I wasn't sure if this is a great opportunity if it's already being done like the administrator could actually be at Crescent which is where the preschool's currently at to get a firsthand feel um especially if some of the the kids come there in the future um or if everybody is doing things like
that um just that's just as a resident point of view um and I wasn't sure I'm sure we have preliminary plans since the department of Ed just laid off 50% of their staff we get 8% of our funding from the federal government um when the states get less money it hits if we have
parameters what we're looking at because even though our state aid only went down a little bit Easterns went down quite a bit um and all that so I know those are things you have to juggle with um and uh so I I know you're already working on those um but I have concern
just for the fact that paying attention the politics thank you you not seeing any additional comments moving to board comments not seeing any comments um we are going into executive
session um uh yeah I know I was I was contemplating giving a time but I'm not gonna do it he's right we're supposed to give an approximate time approximate time I get it wrong every time um go over 30
minutes let's go with 30 minutes um I'll TR we'll try uh okay so whereas the open public meeting act authorizes Boards of Education to meet an executive session under certain circumstances whereas the open public meeting act requires the board to adopt a resolution
at a public meeting to go into private session now therefore be it resolve the vor's Township Board of Education that it is necessary to mean an executive session to discuss certain items involving matters of personal confidentiality rights including but not limited to staff Andor student Discipline matters specifically as well
as matters involving Personnel issues including but not limited to the employment appointment termination of employment terms of conditions of employment evaluation of performance promotion or discipline of any public office or employee be it further resolved that any discussion held by the board which does not need to remain
confidential will be made public as soon as feasible the minutes of the executive session will not be disclosed until the need for confidentiality no longer exists further resolve that the board will compensation but there's no
we will return to open session but there will be no action um to conduct the uh conclusion of the executive session okay um can I get a motion to adjourn to Executive session so move 30 second
rder all in favor motion to return to regular session so moveed Rosner second Rudder Rosner on the first rder on the second to to return record that was 28 minutes
we we just want everybody to nobody cares nobody cares nobody cares does any please someone car we return all in favor okay um next meeting is May 7th at 7 pm
in the administration building can I get a motion to adj the meeting so moved frie second C over all in favor hi car hey
