Um, so if you can sit in conference, write a letter to threaten me, tell me that I can't talk about how my kids's been harassed, then you certainly can go back to the lawyer and say, "Hey, you know, did we or did we not violate FY law?" If it's worth $1,000 to threaten me, it's worth $400 to find out if your lawyer knows what they're talking about regarding FY FIA law. Thank you. Before we move on to the three main points, I just want to um give Dr. Brill a chance to um speak to this. Uh Dr. Brill, are we in compliance with the with the law um regarding um uh the the climate allegations that were just made? I'm not going to speak to specific allegations that uh are are lodged at a public meeting because that is a private matter and administration does not ever comment on student private matters uh or staff private matters.
Is there any what does anybody have any questions? Nothing. Okay. I want to thank everybody for attending tonight. Uh I found it very informative. Uh and and uh I'll take a motion to adjurnn. Miss Teresa, second by Kate. All in favor? I. And Psyche once
Mr. Minhas, Miss Hy, yes. Mr. Vulmer, and Mr. Januzi, yes. Motion passes. Thank you. We are up to other matters to come before the board, which I have not received. So, we are on to item 11, which is new business. Any of the members want to raise or discuss anything at this time? Now is your This is high. I have quick and it's kind of old new business. Um but just to let you know that the alumni association is moving forward with the trophy cases and they're going to be meeting June 2nd um to I think they um already uh discussed with Berto they're meeting to uh look at the old case and see what they're doing with the new case. but they're really excited about moving along with this and also um uh interviews for scholarships are are very soon. So, we're just looking forward to that.
So anyway, right, not the people listening to those anyway because So if you wouldn't mind, could I just ask you about 55 West? Yes, 55 West. And um how do you want to send me, you know, some comments that you may have? Look, I will be very very candid. I was a little surprised about um uh what I had received from other you know, boards and companies. Not not much. But I will, and this is the candid part, I think um personally and I think kind of my read of other people is I think we've been so disappointed with Mass Housing's um right treatment of our comment letters and and some of the ways this this has evolved that you know I think there's some of us who are like why bother, right? Just to be very very frank. That's the feeling that I I get is that we we do have this feeling of, you know, we're beat before we start.
Um but we as you know it's at the forefront of our thinking and we're always uh aiming to comply and meet deadlines and uh work with families and uh if there's an individual situation um that is being addressed then it's being addressed and if it's not satisfactory to a parent there are lots of avenues for parents to pursue um uh challenging the district's decision or whatever their proclivity might be. Thank you. Um let's move then to the three main points. So, I put that um I put the superintendent update because I think like breakfast adjusting the high school end time and the fact that we're um reps and then gate fencing that update and the referendum and yes um well actually hold on um instead of the fence. What about the What about the um superintendent search? I was thinking that too. I was put up that could be a separate Okay.

Be it resolved that the Bound Brook Board of Education enter executive session as allowed by NJSA 104-11 for the purposes listed in the agenda including numbers 1 and 8.

So, I feel like there's not we're not putting enough into it because we feel, you know, Yeah. I I mean I I think especially at the mass housing that like this initial level. I mean I think about how much time and effort we spent on the mill building when and it was and then even the time and effort spent on 61 quite as much as the building but I think Yeah. So could we could we just back up really quick and because we haven't really discussed 55 West West Union at all as a board. Um, could we do like a brief overview of what the project is and what it's looking to do and what where it is in the process, etc. Um, it there wasn't anything in our packet about the project.

And uh during that time, we've created over 16 different types of um spirits in our lineup. Uh some of them we don't have right now, like our maple flavored rum, but uh we do plan to bring that back. We have five um actually international award-winning spirits already. Um some of them we'll bring with us, which is our Elm Street Lemonchello. Uh so it's a traditional Italian lemonch cello that is um based the name is uh based off of where we are in Milbury. Uh we have a full tasting room there as well as all of the products um that we serve. So what we plan on doing um is um keep but keeping in um making sure that we're following the law as we should with the ABCC. All samples will only be a quarter of an ounce um from us. But uh some of the things that we can do is we can add a little bit of flavor to it.
Like for example, our agave spirit, which is our version of tequila made completely in Milbury with um organic agave nectar. It's one of our fastest selling things. Like we've sold 60 bottles in the last three three weeks and we've only had it for three weeks again. So, um, but we'll add like a splash of margarita mix in there just so that people can have a chance to see what it's like in something. Um, of course, they can try it on their own as well. Uh, we're also, um, very active in the Blackstone Valley Chamber. Um, so, uh, we like to make sure that we're connecting with other businesses as well as individuals. So glad to see that uh Blissoint Metery uh Jeff and I met when we were doing um the American dream with Sam Adams. So we're both alum of their program.
