13
00:03:49.200 --> 00:04:03.680
changed because we wanted to make sure that we had this. I'm guessing I'm looking at the one on my screen and on my screen under number 11 I have audience participation agenda items only. And then we go into the business portion and then under 15 I have the

14
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:20.079
personnel committee report and then >> I'm sorry you're right. I had you're right. Okay. I had to update it. Sorry. Okay. >> So we we need people signing in on the side table. They would need to raise their hand. >> Gotcha. Um, anyone wishing, so moving to audience participation. Anyone wishing

15
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:36.000
to address the board, please select the raise hand tool. While the board is limited its ability to respond to the public on matters involving personnel, litigation negotiations attorney client privilege. The board will now hear comments from the public relating to items on the agenda for this board meeting. Comments are limited to three

16
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:55.919
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'm assuming I would see the raised hands

17
00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:13.360
or will Ashley tell me >> there are no raised hands. >> Okay, awesome. Thank you. Um, moving to the business portion. Um, as we move into the business portion of our meeting, we want to recognize that it may appear as if the board does

18
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:28.560
take action with very little comment and in many cases unanimous vote before an item is placed on the board agenda, it is thoroughly reviewed by the superintendent administration. The superintendent then presents the recommended action to the appropriate board committee and works with the committee to ensure the members fully understand the recommendation. Once the

19
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:44.400
committee is satisfied, the item is placed on the board agenda for discussion and action on 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 date between meetings or on the ongoing work of the

20
00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:59.520
administration and the important issues in the district. All of these efforts are to ensure that we are well informed and prepared to take action at our meetings. Moving to personnel. Can I get a motion to approve all of the items under personnel as recommended by the

21
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:17.520
superintendent? So moved. Rosmer. >> Second. Roder. >> I'm sorry. I just need to interrupt for a second. Um, do we have the personnel committee report? Is there one to give or or not? >> Oh,

22
00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:43.600
>> because that's an item on the agenda. >> Let me double check. Okay. >> I have one attached >> briefly. Yeah, I can. It's going to be most of it is confidential, it appears. So, >> okay. I will >> I was just going to jump in and say that, Mr. Rosner. So, I think number

23
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:58.880
three is probably all you want to discuss. >> Yeah, we all right. So, we discussed a few confidential items. Uh this is the personnel committee report. We met on last Wednesday, July 24th in attendance, me, Miss Watson, Miss Rudder, Mr. Rose,

29
00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:59.839
placed in me when you appointed me assistant superintendent for curriculum instruction. It has been truly one of the greatest privileges of my career, and I've loved every opportunity to serve the district in this role. Working alongside Dr. Hackett, this board, our

30
00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:15.600
administrators, teachers, and support staff has challenged me, inspired me, and made me a better leader. Together, we have collaborated to focus on what matters most. putting students first. When the preschool principal position became available, I realized how deeply

31
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:31.200
I missed being part of a small school setting. I mi I missed the greeting students each morning, celebrating their accomplishments, supporting teachers every day, and building those lasting family relationships. Those daily moments are what first inspired me to

32
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:47.279
become an educator. Returning to the principal ship at the Vorhees Early Childhood Center feels like coming home and is with great enthusiasm I begin this next chapter helping our youngest learners embark on their lifelong love of learning. To the board, I want to say thank you for supporting me in the

33
00:09:47.279 --> 00:10:04.399
different leadership capacities over the past 18 years. Borhees has been my professional home and I'm incredibly proud to continue serving this community. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Mosquets. We are very excited about this this change and we um

34
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:19.839
look forward to supporting you in your next role. Um moving to p public comment. Um anyone wishing to address the board, please select the raise hand tool. While
