>> So, a nice breaking ball, but I think it it broke very far outside. But hey, it's a strike. >> Yeah. Nothing in one. >> Nothing in two. >> One strike away from getting out of this inning. >> After a couple quick innings of Grashland pitching, this has been a long one. >> 02. It's a ground ball to short. Shriber charges. sidearm to first in time. >> Beautiful. That'll wrap it up. >> That's Yeah, that that's that's the Michael Shriber shortstop play that I'm used to seeing that, you know, just professional looking. Just coming in, grabbing the ball on the run, firing that bullet over the first base. That's that's the uh when I think of Shriber, I think of that play. But a big inning for Norton nonetheless as they get two more runs >> and now a fiveun deficit for Ashland. >> Well, you know, three more at bats, nine outs.
So, I'm going to miss you and I wish you a lot of luck in your next chapter. Okay? All right, thank you. Good luck. Thank you. >> [applause] >> Okay, so now we'll move to the approval of the minutes. I need a motion to approve item 6.1 to 6.3. Do I have a motion? Mr. Massing, a second? Mr. Fischer, thank you.
It's about allowing the players the ability to develop through a multi-level program and allowing all players in the district an opportunity to compete in this sport. I along with other D230 boys lacrosse parents and student athletes urge you to reconsider this decision. Allow the boys lacrosse to continue as a co-op sport for the immediate future and let D2 D230 United remain united. Thank you. Appreciate your time. All righty. Thank you. Next on the agenda is we have our approval of consent agenda. Do I have a motion? I move the school board approve the consent agenda as presented. As amended. As amended. Sorry, that was the part I missed. Excuse me, my fault. Sorry. Second. Sorry, that was the part I missed when I was walking in.
But I do kind of want to state a concern that that creates a precedent for how we do business and then everybody's time is somewhat wasted because I don't know how value add it is to have these kinds of check-ins that then don't lead to anything. So I don't I personally don't have a problem doing that if that's what the board feels like. But I just wanted to reiterate that because I think we've discussed this many times. Deepa has brought it forward that we as a board don't want to be doing that. A continuence is far better than coming in for an update that doesn't mean anything until we actually review everything. So not to be this has nothing to do with this applicant. I think it's more of how we do business as a board. >> I think in this case it's the peer reviewers giving us the update.
He's yet to really find his swing on the fast ball and obviously could be an effective batting lefty lefty as he swings and misses again and it's quickly nothing and two. Mark's coming off an injury from from football. >> Trying to looks like he's fully recovered now, but you know, played a little bit slow at the beginning of the season >> as he takes a ball and it's one and two. >> You need to take advantage of the lead off extra base hit, >> especially down five. You don't want to >> have to score all five of those runs in your last inning. Last couple games, Ashland's offense has been dormant >> as that's a hard ground ball. Oh, what a play there >> by the second baseman to compag and as he gets it over to first. Shriber gets down to third. >> Wicked hop there.
Ashlin could uh put five runs up, get this thing tied. >> It'll be Turncliffe, McCoy, and Laro. 89 and one do up and Price will head back out to the mound. for a fifth inning of work. Like we said, he only averages about four innings a game on the season, but Ashlin will see him for a fifth. And he's pitched very well. Five strikeouts across four innings. Just one hit, one run, and couple walks. Those have all been in the last couple innings. >> Yeah, Price is doing a great job today. You see, he has, you know, his command is, uh, phenomenal. He's just putting the ball all around the strike zone. Um, mixing up the pitches very well, I say as he throws that one in the dirt. >> It seems like every time I say something, whoever's out there just does something to >> make me a liar.
Do we have any questions or comments on the um approval of the meeting minutes? Seeing none, Mr. Yates, could I have a roll call, please? Roll call on the approval of minutes, Mr. De Morrissey. Yes. Mr. Fischer. Yes. Ms. Iannelli. Yes. Mr. Pielman. Yes. Ms. Butera-Matus. Yes. >> Mrs. Knoll. Yes. The motion carries. Okay, thank you. At this time, we'll move on to the superintendent's reports. Do I have a motion to approve item 7.1 through 7.7? Uh my apologies, I skipped Mr. Massing on the last. >> Oh, did you? Oh, I didn't even notice. >> Yes. Motion still carries. Okay, great. Anyway, okay, we're going to move on to seven item 7.1 through 7.7. Do I have a motion to approve those items as superintendent's report? A motion? Mrs. Iannelli, do I have a second? Mr. Massing. So, at this time, am I handing it over to you tonight?
Any questions or comments? All right, Lisa, you may take the role. Yes. Yes. Dalton. Yes. Yes. Kelly, yes. Yes. Motion passed. All right. Next, business services. We have a transportation contract extension. Excuse me, I just about sneezed during my my big part. Jeff is uh Jeff is at a conference downstate, so I'll cover this a little bit. Uh as uh was discussed at building finance and reported uh just this evening, uh we do have the opportunity to extend our contracts with our current vendors. As the board is aware, um we've had uh a positive good relationship with our two vendors at Stag and Samberg. Positive connections at Samberg and Richley, which is now uh under the guise of First Student um at Stag. Uh unfortunately we've had some challenges over the past year as the board is fully aware with Safeway which is the uh company that services uh Andrew High School uh because of the the construct of our contract extension language.
So that's probably >> on us >> good information for us, right? Because it'll spare some >> potential confusion. not looked at it at all. >> I I don't know what the if the applicant would have more to add, but I think hearing the peer review is >> Yeah, as long as we're all okay with that because I know there was strong discussion about last minute things. >> Okay. >> So, do we what what do we need to do, Jasmine, as far as opening the hearing? Do you want to >> So, it's already open. So, you don't need to open this public hearing. Um, so it's just if how you would choose to move forward if you would like to open it up to our peer reviewer first. >> Yes, please. Let's start with the peer review and then the applicant. please. >> Good evening, chair people or I don't know if I did that right.
>> Yeah, good job sacrifice base hit. >> And yeah, this infield is just strange. You don't you have to be you have to be cat-like as an infielder here. You don't know where the ball's going to go when it hits the grass. See if Lame could get a base hit or sacrifice uh outfield hit to get the runner in. >> He'll foul away in the first pitch. 0 for two. >> Shiver 90 ft away with one out. >> And it certainly looks like Price could go the distance here. 0 and one >> outside >> national bench now coming alive a little bit in this inning now they're smelling blood a little bit trying to at least get a run on the board if not more >> one ball and one strike to Lame fouled straight back off the back stop and it's one and two Good job.
>> Jinxing them. >> Still a nice night. No chance of rain, I don't think. Yeah, it's been great. >> It's darkening up. Maybe a drop. >> The birds chirping. >> Feels like spring. >> It feels Yeah. Except for the the gloomy look outside. It feels like spring. >> Yeah. >> But that seems to always happen in baseball season. April and May, it's just rainy, cold, and >> it really makes you appreciate those couple of nice days you get. Look >> like Monday uh the Clarks will be in Milis face the Mohawks and then >> busy week next week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, away at Millis, home here against Medfield and home here against Hopkins. >> Yeah, that's a big that's a big chunk of your season right there or at least the remaining part of your season. So, >> turn cliff lead off >> and take a first pitch strike.
Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mrs. Knoll. Um I will keep my superintendent comments very brief. We've had two presentations. First, I just wanted to share we recently received notice that our from our county office that our district has been designated as high performing by the New Jersey Department of Education in all five NJQSAC categories, including in the category of instruction and program, based on our most recent NJSL test scores from last spring. I'd also like to Yeah. >> [applause] >> Congratulations first to our students for that achievement and of course to the the the staff in all roles, classroom teachers foremost, who support them in all their achievement including state assessments, although that's ultimately not what we're about, right? The greatest achievement is their success in years that we will in beyond the walls of any school. Um also would like to congratulate Mr.
We have the ability to extend our contracts for all three schools to any of our three vendors. Uh and we're making the recommendation based on uh quality of service particularly but also affordability uh to um uh re-up with positive connections for the Samberg uh contract and then reconnect with Richley/First student uh for Stag High School as well as taking over uh taking over the routes for Andrew High School. Okay. All right. Could I have a motion? Uh, I move that the school board extend the regular education student transportation services contract for Carl Samberg to positive connections and for Amos Alonzo Stag and Victor J. Andrew to Richley Van's first student. I move that the school board extend the special education student transportation contract for Carl Samberg and Victor J. Andrew to ABC first student and for Amos Alonzo Stag to Sunrise Transportation. I move that the school board extend the individual and small student transportation services contract of fivestar taxi and special needs Chicago.
>> You're fine. Don't worry. >> Okay. So, we had several comments on the project. Uh some highlights are we were concerned about the loss of parking on the adjacent parcel. It looks like parking for the property at 55 Tilton A is now on the abuing parcel and the abuing parcel is also losing spaces. So, we were concerned about where the balance was in that. There was also some storm water runoff from the proposed pavement on the adjacent parcel that wasn't being conveyed to any storm water treatment. um any treatment units. And we also wanted to verify that the conversion of the site, majority of the site from lawn and pvious to largely impervious wasn't going to impact the groundwater. Um as it is part of the Nyanza loom. Uh the applicant submitted a letter from the LSP licensed site professional um for environmental reasons. They don't want to infiltrate and they can't really go down into groundwater to install things.
Nice job. >> Let's go. >> Price ahead. One and two. Third base in on the grass as Lame fouls it away. >> Knowing Price, he's he's going to be painting those corners. He's gonna >> he's hit an account. She's not going to give him any anything juicy to hit. I don't Unless he makes a mistake. >> You see balls away and inside and down. >> Strike strike three. >> That one right on the outside edge of the box. >> Another close call there from home plate umpire. >> Eighth strikeout. Yeah, I think unfortunately as a as a hitter in this game, I would have learned from this umpire that I swing at anything that looks like it's >> Anywhere close to that box. >> It may technically be a ball outside, >> but I'm swinging that. It's a protect. >> Connory 0 for two head one and0 here.
>> He's 0 for one. Hey Austin4 delivers the 01 is outside. >> This is it only actually second time through the order. >> Yeah, just finishing it up. >> That one's low. Two balls and one strike. >> Hey, Austin. National bench now is making some noise which is nice to hear. >> Definitely that one just outside. >> Yeah, >> I think they already hit the corner at the >> side of the strike zone on that one, but umpire calls it outside. >> Austin ahead three and one. That's a strike. So the count is full. >> It's a nice fast ball on the outside corner. See what he comes with here. 3-2 >> ground ball to first. Nice play by Ferraro. He'll take it to the bag himself. >> Good swing from Turn Cliff, but it is out number one for Price in the fifth. >> Yeah, nice contact there by Austin, especially, you know, 3-2 count.
Hoffman and Mr. Licciardello on their retirement. Um I've known Mr. Hoffman since before I sat in this chair um many many years and um just uh wish him health and happiness as we retire his shoes. You can't fill those shoes. Um And then for Mr. Licciardello, um wish him very well. It's uh it's been a pleasure to get to work with him and get to know him. Um And uh and then for me, this is my first board meeting since my retirement announcement. Uh I just like to publicly thank our board and our administration and all our staff as well as our students and families for their work to make our community so wonderful and special. It is has been and continues to be the deepest honor to serve that community as superintendent. And thankfully, the happy distraction, the work continues now and tomorrow and beyond.
I second. Right. Any questions? All right, Lisa, you may take the role. Casmir, yes. Yes. D. Yes. Dam. Yes. Kelly, yes. Yes. Motion passed. Next facilities report. Good evening here in the affidavit. So, uh, not, uh, not not a ton of detail to share outside of Dave's, uh, and our team has been doing our pre-construction meetings with the roofing, HVAC, and other projects. So, we're setting up, it's a calm before the storm. We try and start, uh, the first day that we possibly can, which is uh, June 1st.
However, by converting everything from pvious to impervious that in it in and of itself does impact groundwater. So we think there needs to be a balance of doing some low impact development ideas that won't go down into the groundwater that we need to stay out of but doesn't impact the ground doesn't change the groundwater as much. So those were the highle items that we flagged. There were others, but I assume the board does not want to hear every item right now. >> I don't think so. I think it would be a value ad for us as a board at the next meeting to go through item by item, which is what we normally do. >> Okay. >> Um, unless the board disagrees. >> That's fine. >> Okay. So, thank you. And is the applicant there to make a comment. Is George in the room? >> He is not on.
>> Ashlin to avoid squandering a leadoff extra base hit. That one looked like a perfect pitch, but it's two and0. >> Not sure where that one missed. >> Two ground ball fouled down the first baseline. >> The Ashlin team timing their screams for right when Price is uh at the end of his wind up trying to trying to throw him off. >> When a pitcher's going good, that's about all you can do. Try try to get in his head. >> Yeah. jump good. >> Triber had a great swing against him to start the inning. >> Sitting at third. >> Two balls and one strike. >> That's low and the count is three and one. >> Come on. Got it. Three balls and one strike from Price inside. That one actually hit him. >> Wow. >> Hit the elbow guard. >> Didn't matter. Would have been ball four.
