Maybe they, you know, trying to eek out a couple more runs, insurance runs. Um >> John Salem will bat, >> take a strike. >> Salem's 0 for one. >> Didn't walk and score. nervous. Nice breaking ball there by Connory. >> Nothing in one here. >> Conry that hit him. Hit >> the bat. >> Going for the breaking ball again. And um the ball just didn't break. Think he got a little bit too far inside as well. Second hit by pitch issued by Ashland pitching and the second time Salem has reached. First time on a walk. Now a hit by pitch. >> Send the corners in for Ashland. >> Now if the runner if the batter before didn't get out on the punt and was on base that would have scored a run. DJ Compagnot inside corner there by Conry. >> He's been hit by a pitch and also walked and scored.
So, now again, I'm seeing heat pumps up there. Were any of those 700 heat pumps from last year that were was an emergency Have any of those been replaced yet? Does the board, you know, have you looked into that? Um, also, the paving projects, Demarest and Royce specifically were mentioned last year to come out of the capital gains or capital projects, this $8 million, and apparently that hasn't been done. So, why are we now Where did that money go? I I don't understand. I think we were owed an explanation after raising our taxes 25% last year. You didn't have to go that whole thing. And and now you're asking for the same things again, so I I think we deserve an explanation. Thank you. Now, we will go to the public comment period on a I'm sorry, no. Mhm? No, I believe that comes later.
We all know that the IHSA imposed a new rule that prohibits co-op teams comprised of schools that exceed a certain student population threshold from competing in the state tournament at the end of the season. I know district 230 administration and staff went to great lengths to oppose this rule and we are extremely appreciative of that. But for what can I can only describe as a lack of understanding as to the sweeping impact that the new rule would have, the IHSA member organizations passed this rule and here we are. In the only communications we as parents received regarding the impact of this new rule on the existing D230 co-op sports, uh the future of each sport was detailed. Of the six co-op sports, only boys lacrosse was fully eliminated as a co-op team. Alth all others are planned to remain as a co-op in some form.
So open. So motion one is I'm making a motion to open the public record on the design review committee bylaw. >> Is there a second? >> Second. >> Roll call vote. >> I Trisha Kendall. >> Yep. Paulino I sorry >> and Trisha Kendall I >> and then I'll make a second motion to amend the bylaw as we had just discussed it >> amended again >> well do we have to >> you have to ask have say what the amendment is >> yes so basically the >> motion is yeah do you want to make the motion >> yes okay so I'm gonna explain it first that in our last time we had said um that the text says and the planning board will appoint a new ad hoc committee for the next application. We had changed that to say we'll appoint a new ad hoc committee for the next application because how do you appoint before you even get the next application?
It was a overtime win. It's been an interesting series. The Sabres are a very talented team. It's been a lot of blowouts, but >> they are. I think the Bruins, you know, they play they played such a different game in game two and game five, >> they just look like a different team. Games, you know, one, three, four, they >> were scoring. >> Yeah. Yeah. They just they just weren't >> no four check. They weren't being aggressive. in games two and and five they were just, you know, turned on the jets, so they were playing hard. >> They still have yet to really get going on their power plays. It seems like a lot of times when they get a power play, it it'll they'll get worse shots than you'd expect like from a team that is a five on four and then the Sabres come back to full strength and all of a sudden they're getting looks and you're like, where were those during our our five on four, >> right?
So he has almost the identical line of Salem. >> That one outside and it's one-on-one. ground ball here. You >> look at the plate first. Try to get that lead runner from scoring >> infield in on the corners. >> Here's the 1-1. That one spiked and hit the front of the plate. >> That's going to score. >> The runner will score. Caldwell comes in easily from third and it is 51. Actually, that is uh Henry Denubio, a pinch runner >> who scores there. >> Yeah, nothing uh Guo could have done on that pitch. The ball hit the front of the plate. You just had him bounced 20 ft over his head. There was no stopping that one. Now a two in one count from Conry >> to Compagning a miss. Two and two. >> Nice pitch there. Yeah, first base is open. >> Irish and Salem both took extra 90 ft.
Okay. Moving on to public comment on agenda items only. If you wish to comment on agenda items only, please step forward. Um if your questions pertain though to student or personnel items or negotiations, we ask that you see the superintendent after the meeting since we do not discuss these matters in public. Please limit your comments to 3 minutes per person. Is there anyone who would like to stand up and comment on any of the agenda item specifically? Oh, hello. Oh, nice to see you, Janice. >> State your name and your address, please, Mrs. Everhart. Mrs. Everhart, 25 Derby Court. Nice to see you banging the gavel there. Uh congratulations. Okay, I'm I'm here to talk about um finance uh under the finance section of the agenda, there was a line item for awarding a contract for superintendent search services. So, I sat on the board and we did two superintendent replacements or um searches on our own.
The district the district communication indicated that the D230 boys lacrosse team will be split due to numbers that Andrew and Stan Standberg will each have a single level program and Stag students will no longer be afforded the opportunity to participate in the sport. Other than the numbers, no further rationale was given. I would hope other factors would be considered and stakeholders such as current coaches and even parents and players would be consulted for at least further discussion prior to such a decision being made. As I outlined in my prior communications to the board, this decision cannot and should not be based just on numbers, particularly when those numbers and the resulting decisions leave only a single level program at two of the schools and no program at the third. Not only are there safety concerns due to having all grade levels competing on one team and in games against other varsity teams likely comprised of a majority of upper classmen, but field space concerns, coaching concerns, new equipment, uniforms, etc.
>> We're not going to appoint until we get an application. >> So, it's just changing before to four. >> Was that what was that what was on the screen? >> I just changed it as she was speaking. So, previously it did say before right here it says four and I just changed it. >> I found my my notes that were stuck [snorts] in there. So, so if that's good with everybody, um I will make a motion that we approve the bylaw with now the second change incorporated in. >> I'll second that. >> Second roll call vote. >> That's you again, Anna. >> Um Anna Tminuski, >> Scott, Paulino, I >> and Trisha Kendall I. So there, that's done, right? Okay. Thank you. I'll try not to find anything else in my notes. Um, next on our agenda, do >> we have to close it? >> Uh, and open it to the public again or not?
Let's go, Mike. >> Two nights in a row of fun games >> and hopefully both teams can get the wins and hopefully some second round playoffs as Shriber will lead it off against Price in the sixth and take a high strike. >> A tremendously fast ball. >> He's still pumping here in the sixth. >> He's already thrown 67 pitches. Shriber will pop it straight up. >> That is going to play. I think if you uh >> wheeled back a little bit, you could have had that. >> Yeah, >> it's a race between two of the bench players. >> He's going to get the ball. Oh, two. >> Another one fouled away as that one heads to the turf. >> Can't get it past you. >> Jackson Van Beek comes away with the ball. >> He wins. He wins. He wins the race to the foul ball there.
So second and third here with only one away. >> Norton is knocking on the door trying to break this one open. That's a hot shot under the glove of Shriber and into left field for a base hit. >> Irish will score from third on an RBI single from DJ Kagna and it's six to one Norton. >> A little surprised the runner on second base to make his way over to third. I think, you know, I think he had his back turned trying to get back to second base because he thought that ball was going to get stopped and then by the time he turned around again, he didn't realize it was in the outfield. Um, but otherwise, he could have easily been the third base as the first pitch is upstairs to Evan Ingram in the nine hole. He's 0 for two. >> Shriber was playing in on the grass there.
We didn't need to go out for bid. I would like you to consider the possibility of doing this on your own. I think maybe New Jersey School Boards does offer the resource and ability to do that. Is that for a fee or is that for free? Um I would like to just have you consider doing this search. It can be done with the board without an outside fee incurred. So, I just implore you to reconsider that. I know it's a daunting task and I wish Dr. Smith a lot of luck in his next chapter, but I I do think with the financial constraints that you have ahead of you that you would consider doing that. Boards have done it successfully in the past. That's it. Thank you. Now moving on to the approval of minutes. I need a motion to approve. Is not now? Oh, I'm sorry.
for what are essentially two new programs should all factor into this decision. Perhaps most importantly, the decision also fails to take into the important role that a JV level team contributes to player and program development. Underclassmen are afforded the opportunity to play more, learn more, and develop more when they have the ability to compete regularly in both practices and games with a JB schedule. Lacrosse is a physical sport that requires a very broad and unique skill set. And if you haven't seen it, I highly encourage you to come out and watch the boys play. There's a game right here tomorrow night, senior night, five o'clock. like myself, many of our current players, uh, our current parents and coaches were former youth coaches and directors of local youth programs. We all love the sport and we want it to grow and ideally that will eventually involve programs at all of our district schools.
It was open. Never mind. >> It was already open. So, you would close it again. >> Public hearing again. >> Close it. I'll make a motion to close the public hearing on design on review committee bylaw amendment. >> Second. >> And I say I >> can. Okay. >> We're getting good at this. Almost. >> Open close. Open. Close. Open. Close. Okay. All right. So, next on our agenda is 55 Tiltton. Do we have people here from Tilt? >> We do. We have Katie Pritchard who from Bills and Thomas who is the peer review. Um, so she did just send her report I believe yesterday or today. I believe it was yesterday. I forget. I'm sorry. My days are blending. So, you've just received the report within the last 24 hours. I doubt anybody on the board has had an opportunity to review it. And Vat is here to give an overview of it.
>> Triber takes a ball. It's one and two. >> Here you go. Price again. You know, a couple of balls up high, fast balls. He goes a little bit with the off speed down bottom corner trying to paint that corner to get the strike. >> One of two. >> Shriber will just chop it into the ground, but it'll go foul. >> A he's fouling off a lot of pitches here. He's seeing him. Good job by the catcher. You know, the helmet came right off. He's down the line in case that ball went there. >> Rather just, you know, kind of assuming that it's going to be a foul ball. >> One and two from Price. >> That one's low and it's two balls and two strikes. Shriber, Merrmlstein, and Lame are the three do up here as the Ashline Clockers are down to their final six outs this afternoon.
That was a hot shot that just got under the glove. >> Yeah, no bounce at all there. It's okay. That one just kind of >> That one's into center field. Lao will time it up and make the catch. Back to second base goes Salem and that's out number two here in the fifth. >> Yeah, fly ball hit right to Laro. >> Yeah, you know, a couple of steps in and no chance at all for the runner on second base to tag out. If that runner had gone to third on the previous play, >> that could have been a close close run. That definitely would have tested all his arm. >> That's a low strike there to Reagan. >> Jack Reagan is one for three at the top of the lineup. >> Yeah, I think Connor's got to thank the umpire after the game there. >> Buy him dinner.
>> I'm sorry. I wanted to say one more thing. Did you already close public comment? I apologize. I just want to say something with the >> for you. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I just want to say I want to wish some retirees uh some good luck tonight. So, good luck to uh Dr. Smith on your next chapter. Uh thank you for your service. Also, Gaetano Lucibello. I sat and worked with him on the board many years ago and I wish him a lot of luck in his next chapter. And I also want to wish this man here. Uh we go way back, sir. >> [laughter] >> I came here to uh congratulate you on your retirement and to wish you the best of luck. We sat together. Uh me as a board member, me as a parent, and me as a PTA member under your tutelage.
But doing it now based on the perceived ability to essentially just field a team at each school rather than a full thoughtout process could have the opposite effect. I appreciate Dr. Dr. Nolting responding to my prior emails and indicating that district co-ops are reviewed annually to determine when the right time is to break it into separate programs. But in that regard, I ask you this. Absent the new IHSA rule, would next year be the year that that would happen for boys lacrosse? I am highly confident that the answer is no, as it was for all the other co-op sports, specifically girls lacrosse, which is remaining a co-op and will participate in a postseason co-op tournament instead of the state playoffs. So don't do it. Don't make the change now. This is not about competing in the state tournament. This is about allowing the sport of lacrosse to continue to grow in this area, one where the majority of programs are in fact co-ops.
We also have the applicant John Dudley online as well. Um, so we can at least get an overview of what the review was, where what she's found on the site and what we're going to be looking to discuss next meeting if that pleases the board. as I am still kind of officially off that I am going to step out and turn the chair over to >> So just so I understand we're just kind of >> allowing an update and then continuing >> if that's your decision because I I assumed you hadn't had the opportunity to review the memo that had just >> Okay. I guess for me, I go back to prior conversations we had as a board before we do anything where I I for one think it's somewhat wasteful to do these kinds of updates that we're not prepared for. Um, so I don't have a problem doing it because the applicant is here.
Two-2. That one's crushed down the left field line way back. It's down. Shriber peppered it into the corner and he'll have a double. >> The left fielder, Caleb, gave it a really good run for it. >> Oh my god. He did give it a good run. >> Crushed by Shriber. Dude, >> that was a great hit. Like he landed just inside the line. >> Like I said, tonight with the gray skies, it's it's more difficult for these outfielders to see these balls, especially those more sharply hit balls. Um that hit, you know, just gray sky behind them. They don't have as much time to figure out where they are and get out of the the great hit there by Michael Shriber. As Mark Merlescene swings and misses at the fast ball, he's had a rough time so far. He's 0 for two with a couple strikeouts.
