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 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, 1, three, four, they >> were scoring. >> Yeah. Yeah. They just they just weren't >> no four check. They weren't being aggressive. And games two and and five, they were just, you know, turned on the jet, so they were playing hard. And >> 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?
Do I have a motion from anyone? Ms. Saianelli. And second, Ms. Buchermaults. Thank you very much. Do we have any questions on or comments on personnel items? Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Massin. Go ahead. So, once again, I just want to personally congratulate Dr. Smith, Mr. Licciardello, and Mr. Hoffman. You dressed very appropriately for your retirement celebration this evening. So, uh just the work that's done to our administrators and all the teachers this year who have already um provided their retirement notices. It's a it's an amazing world of change as when new people come in and and the seasoned leave. Um just really appreciate all the work that's done to East Hampton School District and thank you for all your service of all the years. So, we really really appreciate it. So, thank you. And since they're sitting right here, I think we should congratulate Ms.
We have to figure out how to manage those additional mandates along with the mandates that are on the time, our curriculum and the number of hours that we have in front of our students and to be able to navigate that with all that they dictate that needs to go through the classroom is sometimes very daunting. Um, I have to give uh our administration and our teachers association accolades for always addressing and making sure that we stay compliant as difficult as that can be. Uh, there were other things in Springfield that we also brought up. And so, uh, going down there meeting our legislators, I believe they heard to say, uh, energized me for this coming year as well. So, thank you. Um, member Dalton and I had the privilege of being at Institute Day last week. The energy that we felt in the end of the um, in the room at the end of the year is always good to see that people were looking forward to having that day of bonding, re reflecting, and even just catching their breath. My opening words spoke about hope and trust.
This isn't it's the board's discretion, not department. >> Yeah, I'm less concerned with newspaper ad because those get run once or twice. I don't know how how much are newspaper ads. >> That's actually the more expensive one. >> Oh, >> so that those are $180 to $250. So that's where most of our cost comes. It's very rare that we have a butters that actually go over $100 to $200. That's a pretty rare instance. What's more costly is the legalized. very comfortable if those are on there because like I because I think there are residents that could be in a situation where they cannot afford that and we're making their government process a lot harder than it should be. Um so I I it would be very very rare when those are waved but it gives us the power to do so if we need to.
>> Two balls and no strikes. Price is well over a 100 pitches now. >> So, we'll see how long the leash is now with a runner on first. >> Two balls and no strikes. Shrivevers on deck. >> That one hit him. Price is going to come out. That one came in and it looks like that'll do it. >> Yeah. >> Pitching coach will come out to the mound. We'll see. Hasn't made a Hasn't made a point yet. >> And actually, >> doesn't look to be a pitching change. Just looks like a mound visit. >> You think with the the way they are leaving him in, they, you know, may have been taxed from other games and they, you know, needed a strong start, they'd rather not have a guy come in and just get a couple outs and have to take a couple days off from throwing.
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. >> Pipe 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.
Kelly Cam to her appointment to the director >> Appointment. Yes, we got to Yeah. of curriculum position. And to Dr. Morris for Yes. Um taking over for Ms. Wallace. >> [applause] >> Ms. Noll? Just real quick. Mr. Morrissey, go right ahead. I don't want to beat a dead horse. I Mr. Massin said pretty much everything I I could possibly say. Um but Mr. Hoffman, you were my principal. So, I just had to men- You were my principal. I remember walking the halls and I used to see him coming. Whatever you were doing, you straightened up and you were pretty good. So, he was pretty damn good at his job. So, um just everybody who's retiring, uh Dr. Smith, Mr. Luccibello, Mr. Hoffman, um you know, just thank you for your years of service to to the district. Um it it it it you know, MMS community is you know, we're losing a we're losing a legacy, but we got Dr.
I have hope that every day is a better day and a good day for all of you. And we have trust that it continues because we do trust that we have the best staff that we could have in front of our students and the best administration that we see that all of you've done and continue to do. And if we didn't have that hope and trust, I know I wouldn't be sitting here. And there's more good than bad. And I won't kid you, there's been some challenges. But a night like tonight and a night over the weekend when we see Mama Mia, Mean Girls, and Matilda. We've got the M plays going on and we have three nights of scholarship nights next week and then the graduation. You will see many of these board members coming to multiple events on their own time because they care so much and invest in our students every day because our investment with our students today helps us all in the future.
>> Absolutely. >> So do we just need a motion to approve this updated pricing list? >> That's it. Is everything else on there you feel good? >> That's consistent with what's in other communities. So, I did look at the surrounding towns to see what we're charging for those types of reviews and that is very consistent. And those fees um I don't know who who set those fees, but they probably at one point did confer with an engineer about what those costs typically looked like, but that is consistent with what I've seen in our surrounding likes towns. >> Thanks. All right. So I make >> motion to approve the updated [snorts] action planning department fees as listed. >> Is there a second? >> I'll second that. >> Roll vote. >> Janet Tesmanitki. I >> and Trisha Kendall I. So that is approved. Now we're on to the ever exciting meeting minutes.
>> Yeah. rather just let Price throw his pitches this week and >> try to secure this win. >> Drivers at the dish here with two on and one out. >> He's had a great afternoon. He's two for three. >> He doubled last time. He had that towering drive to left. One of the farthest hit balls we've seen. >> First pitch was well upstairs. They do have Mermlstein on deck who's had a a very tough time seeing the ball from Price today. I'm >> wondering if that's something that the coaches are taking into account >> is that he's had success against some of the guys in this lineup. >> But Shriber has had his number >> and Beek's at second. Gratica is at first. >> It's two and0. And that one gets away. Vanvique heads for third. He'll be in there. Down to second goes Bradica.
>> Shriber takes the ball. It's one and two. 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.
Morris coming in and it's going to be fantastic and she's going to do great. So, looking forward and excited to having you. Um but, you know, it's uh this is a school my my my two siblings, they attend here. Ken is graduating this year. Layna's coming in pretty soon. And uh you know, we're just thankful to have you. That's all I wanted to say. So, thank you. Anyone else? No? I'll just say um congratulations as well to our retirees, Mr. Hoffman. I'm sure you'll be enjoying your retirement. And thank you for your dedication to our district for how many years? 20-something now? About that? >> [laughter] >> And um also to Mr. Luccibello who is not here. And I don't think I'm missing anyone other than Dr. Smith. I want to thank him. It has been what, 6 years now? And I want to commend you on number one, coming in as COVID hit, which was not easy.
So, it is still my honor to serve. But before I ask for the motion, Dr. Nelting said, you said you had one thing about FOYAS, which is usually justformational. Yes. And I apologize because I think um it it'll echo what you heard from Mr. Sheridori, but uh uh aligned to the FOYA information, we we've seen a little bit of a decline and then a little bit of an uptick. But I do want to just mention to the board uh I was on the phone with our legal counsel about 5:00 this afternoon uh just getting an update on some some things as well as foyas. uh and I want to quote your legal counsel uh and what they said to me about Jennifer Waterman and uh he was very first of all he's very interested in who's going to replace her um but the reason is uh because he said he's not worked in the entire state with anybody who's as u u um intuitive who's uh capable um and he specifically said I think it's important to say for the record that given the the gravity of the the numbers that we face given the complexity of the numbers that we faced if we didn't have somebody like Jennifer in that seat we probably would have had three times the legal bills that we currently do have.
Do we are there two dates here? We do need to go through >> 26 of them. >> Which one are we doing first? 26. Line 52 should be Mr. >> This is going from Mr. to Ms. or Ms. to Mr. Is everyone done with the 26? >> I can make a motion if >> I'll make a motion to approve the March 26 minutes as is. >> Well, as as amended [clears throat] >> as amended. Sorry. >> Second that >> roll vote. >> Anna Tesmani I >> got your eye. >> I'll say I Paulino, but I cannot see them. [laughter] >> Trisha, >> I'll take I'll take your word for it. >> All right, fair enough. So now we're on April 9th. um 967 it could be a I don't know if somebody else thinks otherwise but the town's peer review engineer to get the shy done phasing so they do not have to put up so much money immediately up front either one or the other >> right versus having those both Yep.
>> It's two and0 to Shriber. And things starting to get interesting here. >> Again, shocking that uh Price is being left in. You know, looked tremendously strong coming into the last inning here, but after these balls in the dirt, the walks, the hit batter. Um >> two and one. Corners are in here >> for Norton. >> Hit can make it a two-run game. >> It's deep enough. >> 2-1. >> Is ball three. >> Yeah. >> Seems like we've mentioned Mark Merkelstein in the home run a few times today. And if Shrivever was to get on base, that was the tying run to the plate. Shriber into shallow center. It drops. It's a base hit. >> That's going to score two. >> Just one. >> Van will score. Down to third goes Brad. He waited for it. He didn't know if it was going to drop.
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 night. 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.
And you remember, we were working side by side, late nights trying to prepare to get the kids back in school. And that is something that um not a lot of districts were doing at that time. For example, my my and nephews up in Montclair, they did not go back until April of the following year. And you were insistent that our kids were going to be in the classroom in September, and I will never forget that. And also, you've implemented here our full-day kindergarten, which we did that bond um a ballot question together. People here in the community who helped work on that. So, you know, under your tenure, there have been changes for us positively bringing preschool here to the district. And how many students are we now educating in preschool? Almost 500, I think. Yeah, 500. Yeah, so many, many good things, and I want to sincerely thank you for your dedication to Evesham Township.
And uh I thank her for that publicly and I want the board to hear that because I think that's important for you to hear as well. Um I don't know if she'll stay on as a consultant. um she might consult the our legal counsel. She might be an in the field consultant. But um even though the foyer train hasn't slowed down as much as we wanted it to, um the fact that we are compliant, the fact that we are able to avoid uh the significant cost that a lot of districts will just simply portray onto their legal counsel. Uh my my thank you to to Jennifer and kudos. and I was on the phone with legal counsel at 4:30 and uh before Bob that's why we couldn't catch up before tonight but um he has said that to me as well about you Jennifer so we have been grateful every day and we will take advantage and not try to abuse that by taking advantage of you the next couple months but thank you all right could I have a motion my computer went to I'd like to make a motion to enter into executive session to consider uh information regarding the appointment employment compensation discipline, performance, or dismissal of a specific employee or legal counsel for the public body.
>> Just take off the up front. Yeah. Just >> what was that phrasing from that? >> What was it? >> Like you you're you're saying to take out one of those words, right? >> Yeah. But I mean, is that how they phrased it though? >> I don't >> like I'm not disagreeing with you like it's seems repetitive, but I'm not >> they might have, but these aren't transcripts. They're they should it should be clear. So, >> that is repetitive. um the public hearings for 30. There are some of these um decisions. Do we really need to note that in the minutes? >> I'm sorry, where are you? Um so line 73 >> 78 there are some of those discussions that we had. Not sure if we typically add them to the minutes >> on this day. I don't think we we already discussed them at a the different one the month meeting before.
And now >> that will most likely do it. >> Yeah, that'll be a surprise. Now, coach is realizing that change should have been made a few batters ago. >> So, Logan Irish will walk in from right field. Another lefty will come to the mound to face Merrmlstein. He was the walk-off hero against Wayland. The tying run here with one out in the bottom of the seventh. >> And Price getting a round of applause here. Great great performance by Price. >> It was It was >> um but yeah, you get up to 100 pitches even, you know, as a high school student, you start, you know, you slow down, you get tired. >> 110 pitches. >> Yeah, he he he should have been out of like a like three batters ago, but you know, >> you wanted to complete a game. You know, there's a lot of other reasons to keep somebody in.
