007interviewed by the school board like it was really weird oh I do remember that yeah yeah I do remember that school board had to do it school board H the county office office to call you office decided correct yes that's right yeah that's what happened we didn't have another member though wasn't it possibly yes correct we didn't have another you're right it was probably when we had a vacancy correct yeah so we didn't have anybody else to vote right we're going to table this and we'll just move forward until we I'll just run I'll continue to run the meeting if you're okay with that so we can wait to see what Joe says is that okay um that was maybe we should have left Keith in serious all right so let's just I'm just going
008to move forward I'm going to wait to hear from Joe if I don't hear from him I'm going to excuse myself and give him a call um just so we can figure out but I do remember us having to reach out to the county office and the county office made that decision uh that determination for us we're going to move forward to item number B is I need a motion and a second to nominate someone for a school board vice president nominate second any other nominations okay do you accept Mrs re all right so then we're going to do a motion in a second to approve um Kimberly Reid as our school board vice president I'm going to do a roll call Mr Golden you you yeah you can just say yes because we're already
009nomin she's she's our only she's our only one Mr Davis yes Mr Jones yes Mr Phillips yes Mrs Reed yes um Mrs HMA yes Miss Juliana yes Miss Dente yes you want to take the meeting or you want me to do it oh you can continue to do it all right um do such a great job oh thank you thank you so if any if nobody had any objections I was going to keep everybody kind of where they were as to what you were assigned if anyone has an objection when I get there just let me know we'll go ahead to sign someone else you're going to fill a vacancy so I'll let you know what your duties are when we get to you as well thank you they're not really they don't require a
010tremendous amount of time um most of them are like quarterly meetings all right so we're going to do one big roll call for IBC through IBK and then I'll kind of go through with the um appointment so can I have a motion a second to approve those nominations and then we'll go ahead and motion second all right so C is to approve to appoint we're going to appoint um Lisa hmof since that's currently what hers is um as a delegate to the New Jersey School Board Association again that's uh quarterly um you have any objections to that okay perfect uh D was to appoint we will appoint um Mr Phillips to the alternate delegate to the school boards Association that's the New Jersey chapter again they do virtual meetings or quarterly they're not mandatory um
011but if someone can can go that's fine they haven't had as many as they used have in the past so do you have any objections to that perfect perfect all right a to appoint um Brian Davis as our delegate to the Camden County School boards Association so go with that again quarter quarterly obligation um f is to appoint um Miss Juliano to the AL as the alternate delegate to the Camy County School boards Association good we're going to keep Michelle oriente as our representative to Camy County Edge Services Commission if that's still works we're going to appoint um Kim Reed as our representative to uh Pine Hill Board of Education if that's still no one has objections to that all right and then our current uh negotiations committee for the Berlin Township Education Association we
012currently have Mr Jones we have Mr Golden and Mr Davis we don't have any negotiations going on this year until um probably February of 2026 do you guys are so good to serve on that committee or absolutely else wanted all right so we'll keep that as and then for our um principal and supervisor Association we had Mr Davis Mrs Reed and Mrs hm um and that's again as our principal and supervisor Association we won't be doing that also I think until the following year I believe right we did we did it last year so oh so we have a couple years yeah um so unless something comes up we won't really have a need for that but we're build it I think you were five all right so no one objects to and there's still
013no conflicts with regards to anybody sitting have less conflict perfect and then we have um finance committee we currently only have Rebecca and Stacy but I would love to have a third member so speak now all right Perfect all right Mr Phillips you are it we actually just meet before the board meeting um usually about a half an hour 40 minutes or four you'll review bills we'll go over any Financial items that should be considered any hot topics or miscellaneous things I usually give a briefing at the board meeting anyway so it's pretty much the same um but it's good to have those smaller committees so we can have some more in depth conversations all right so that'll be Miss Allen Miss Juliano and um Mr Phils perfect let me just see all right we'll
014just move along and then I'll go ahead and I'll call joil before we close out item oh I need to do a roll call on that my apologies let's do a roll call on all of those appointments please for the officer and delegate nominations Mr Golden yes Mr Davis yes Mr Jones yes Mr Phillips yes Mrs Reed yes Mrs Helma yes Mrs Juliano yes Mrs orente yes Item B is to um establish the time and date of our regular regularly scheduled meetings as the fourth Thursday of each month unless otherwise noted can I have a motion in a second motion any conflicts or questions or concerns it'll start at 7 p.m now right that's correct thank you for that clarification yeah we're going to start at 7 o'clock instead of 7:30 no June no July
015meeting and no July meeting we did one last year but we had started to cut those out um if we have an emergency or we have some emergency hiring we can always certainly try to do a special meeting but U Mr Lee has that authority to kind of okay um hire them and then get approval afterwards anyway so if we don't have any questions then we'll go ahead and do a roll call Mr Golden yes Mr Davis yes Mr Jones yes Mr Phillips yes Mrs Reed yes Mrs HMA yes and Mrs orian yes right perfect um discussion to approve the motion a second to approve the revised District calendar for the 2425 school year this had to be adjusted because of our snow day and we are optimistic that we will have no board security
016one and done it's not you know it hasn't really been super cold so no no we're done Spring right corner so can I have a motion a second for that motion second did anyone have any questions on on the calendar all right uh Mr Golden yes Mr Davis yes Mr Jones yes Mr Phillips yes Mrs Reed yes Mrs Helma yes Mrs Juliano yes and Mrs Ori yes I do have a question I'm sorry yeah um being that the last day of school is June 19th that's juneth obviously so if we were to go have another snow day would you then start taking away from Spring break or would you then be adding it and then adding that day off add the second day we would add the second day and then if we go on
017on to the make it Monday because the teachers right now are coming back on Monday okay and the state of New Jersey celebrates juneth on that third thir third Friday Friday of the month so they don't celebrate on the 19 cele different they do so yes so we're so we're we're in school on Thursday District closed on Friday teachers come back on Monday and then that's it we have more SN days we would add one more to the end after that we would have to have a conversation about what to do so one more to the end would be Monday that would be Monday for students stud and then teachers would be choose to yes okay I just wanted to but that's not it's not it's not happen good T yep he's just double cheing
018but he's pretty sure it's the county superintendent so we'll probably have to table that anyway and see um he's just check so any other questions on the calendar all right we'll do um public comments motion a second to open the meeting to the public for discussion of agenda items only can I have a motion a second motion second happy New Year happy New Year happy New Year thanks for supporting piece oh yeah B oh yeah we already had that we already went down that rabbit hole I'm I'm sorry the school has the same bank the oh I'm sorry at least your personal stuff isn't coming to school uh all right so hearing nothing from the public can I have a motion a second then to um close the meeting to the public motion second all
019those in favor opposed or obain right let me just see um I guess we'll just time for one second just to make sure that that is definitely the case and then we can adjourn because it's going to have to go to um it's going to have to go to we don't have an executive session so I think your fate is in the hands of the execu count superintendent I don't know how fast they'll they'll turn it around but we do have president can run the meetings or I can run the meetings in the absence of of one being [Laughter] appointed I'm gonna go call real fast just hold everybody up could we have another vote at if everyone is here at the next meeting since there'll be an odd number of people I don't think
020so that's because I asked him that I table till the 23 he said the ex count look what I started I love fancy that's what I was like New Year New Year cute she the stat people on our legal team I'm like wa what call it he said got go to the executive County Superintendent he is gonna confirm but he's well then to make sure there's not an issue I'll just change my vote to Brian then you don't want to do that man no it's fine no you will I just don't want us to get dragged through this thing that who's who knows how long it's going to take so would you like to have a revote yes please Perfect vote for you now don't you dare I guess we'll come down to who's the
021first to vote all right give me a give me a minute guys let me just write my next I mean we could have a vote on paper and then nobody knows who you're not allowed to I thought you were we're not allowed to no we yeah we should have always we did do a straw vote before but um a couple years ago I think when we had the vice president one Joe was like it has to all be out in the public um all right so we're going to Revo um and our choices for um board president are Mr Golden or Mr Davis so Mr Jones oh God so if Mr Golden is gonna vote for Mr Davis anyway why don't we just say Brian we officially because I we need to have just have
022him as a nominee correct yeah instead of Scott and we don't even unless so name out of Nom we don't have problem due to withdrawal and we still have to vote we'll still V to just appoint him then due to withdrawal of Mr Golden the nomination wants to all right so now we are going to um vote to approve Mr Davis as our school board president Mr Goldman yes Mr Davis yes Mr Jones yes Mr Phillips yes Mrs Reed yes Mrs hmof yes Miss Juliano yes and Miss sente yes all right perfect so then Mr Davis you are now our school board president and um we'll have you all moved around and everything else like that Center Mr Gold's coming over I have one question Scott you used to do the what I do for
023the uh camon County Ed boards would you like to the Service Commission would you like to do that again or no I mean I'm looking at what we've got right now I see Mr Phillips is on two things I can take over for the finance committee if that's all right and that way want to come on finance whatever you want to do I don't want to force you out of it if if it's something you really want to do be transparent I'm learning as I go so I'll take any direction I can be given to help myself further you want yeah I would like to do the finance committee something I haven't done before I think it would be like I said I usually say all that could four do it and then because it's
024not a quorum right I just can't have five yeah so you could put both them on I mean how many times does everybody yeah right and then sometimes yeah that's I'm fine with that I'm fine with having four people on there that kind of gives and then do give a little flexibility if someone can't make it and we're not then throwing the bills out for everybody else everybody will have some time to do thing about that you guys have to do anymore all right so just to just to clarify this the board finance committee will now be Miss Allen Miss Juliano Mr Phillips and Mr Golden um that gives us a little bit more flexibility all right um does anybody have any other business or am I good to close can I have a motion
025a second to adjourn the meeting motion second my ears I know Scott and I said it at the same time you might have heard all right 724 all those in favor opposed or abstain all right perfect um I need your oath sign whoever didn't sign I'm G to come and grab those and our next meeting is the 23rd and I'll call Mr Bley let know that we resolved the issue doesn't need to go to county office that help me up
