Seeing no one signed up for um public forum, we will move past G for recognition. There's nothing listed there. and H for unfinished business and move on to agenda item I consent agenda. There are 14 items and I will ask for a motion. >> So moved. >> Thank you, Miss Pat. >> Thank you, Miss Man. Any discussion on consent agenda? Seeing none, please hold the board. >> M. >> Yes. >> Miss. >> Yes. >> Miss. >> Yes. >> M. Mccardi. >> Yes. >>
003Miss. >> Yes. M. >> Yes. >> M. River. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> We also do not have any committee reports. So we will move on to item K, the superintendence report with items one through three. Ask for a motion open. >> Miss man, I got you that time. >> And Miss Nikki, thank you. Any discussion on superintendent one through three? >> Just do a quick explanation just uh the number one is obviously our regular uh HIV investigation results. Uh the number two and three. two we do twice a year and basically it just summarizes um it's a self assessment but it's a it it summarizes our results over the last six months and the we do a self assessment of ourselves so you'll see some
004variance in the scores but it's basically how um the staff feels that their school is doing our schools do quite well um and then finally the MOA just so you know what this is this is an agreement that we have with law enforcement and with the county prosecutor where basically all the entities are working together So it just lays out all of the the relationships between the the different groups and like you know things that we should be reporting to them and information they should be giving to us. So this is a regular thing that we do every year since the beginning of time basically any question in the board. >> Mr. >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Dr. Forser, did you have anything else you want to do? >> Yes. And
005since the public didn't speak, do I get extra time? >> Sure. Okay. [laughter] I figured that way. No. >> 10 minutes. >> Just a few things. Just a few announcements. Uh, easy stuff. Uh, state testing is started in in our high school and our elementary schools. Elementary schools are in the middle of it. I think high school finished today. Um and uh our elementary schools start tomorrow. Um middle school environmental trip did occur this year after, you know, lots of possibility of it not happening. It did happen. Uh it went without a hitch until they wanted to come home. Um and then when they wanted to come home, one of the buses didn't want to come home. So, uh, eventually they did, but, um, from all reports and and quite frankly, I saw a couple
006of the emails from parents, you know, everybody being lauded and celebrated on how well it was handled. Um, you know, a local business up there allowed the bus to park there. Buses one and two had pizza back here at the school, but bus three got to eat their pizza on the bus. So, they were probably excited about that, actually. And, um, all in all, I mean, they got home later, I think around 5, 5:30, but I think they still had fun. So, it sounds like they had the good time. Uh we had a calendar meeting yesterday looking at the 262 27 calendar. Um we'll put that up for approval at the next November meeting, but uh the good news is we did a little bit of tweaking with it and we will have our middle
007school promotion which is our last day of school for the students will happen on a Friday. >> So we did everything we could to make that happen and we were able to do it uh creativ creatively I should say. And just finally November starts uh next week. So we um obviously we have some things that happen in November. Um we have next week Thursday and Friday is off for the NJA convention and then the 27th and 28th we have the Thanksgiving break. So we have some days off but we also have the parent teacher conferences uh happen over November at all levels even the high school one happens. So it's it's a weird month. It always is in education where you got to basically look at the calendar to see if you're here and how
008long you're here um every day. But that's it for me. Thank you. Thank you very much. >> Can I ask a quick question? >> Yes. >> Uh Dr. Forwell, for the >> the um are they going to be virtual this year? The parent teacher conferences or are they in person? >> I in person. I didn't know that they were virtual. Yeah, they should be in person. I believe they are unless >> I don't know. >> Speak virtual. >> McFarland. It was a choice, >> was it? >> Yeah. >> Oh. Oh, >> where's Jody? I know I saw Jod. Oh, but also it's an option. >> It's an option. You get a weed reward. >> Oh, okay. That's that's that's actually a cool thing that you have that option. So, and that's is that true in
009all the levels? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Perfect. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Question. >> Um, regarding the calendar, maybe this is for future business. Um, I think at one time we had talked about when the calendar is looked at for fourthcoming years is that we look at something of Junth either ending before it. I don't know what the date that was for 26 weeks ending but if there's something for the future that we can talk about making sure that we end if we can end school by Junth. >> Yeah, that's what we're doing. That's that's what I was saying. Our last day with the students is June 18th, >> right? >> So for for 26 27th um and that was because Junth is on Saturday. So but then we have to follow the both
010the state holiday and the federal holiday rules and um so teachers will be coming back the following week. >> So they'll be coming back during the the Junth I guess could be celebrated on that Monday. >> No, it'll be >> Friday. Okay. by the federal government it's if it's a Saturday it's Friday if it's Sunday it's a Monday >> well I think when you go by the uh state you have to do first and that's the glorious it's the third third uh third Friday >> the last day for students is the 17th Thursday and then Junth is the 18th because I think >> that's a state holiday >> third Friday >> or right so >> schools are closed on the 18th Friday. >> Okay. And then teachers will come back for that Monday for the
011last day of school for them, but the kids will be done. >> All right. >> But I know other districts have tried to make it as like a regulatory requirement that we don't we end before. So it's not a big issue, but I don't know with the things we have going on. That's something as >> the only way that we were able to do it this year is that we're actually having an inservice on President's Day and we're doing that this year and it's planned for 2627 also. Um so and that's a federal holiday. So uh when you run but so students will have off but but the the staff will have inservice on that day and that's what we did the same. If we didn't do that, we wouldn't have been able to pull
012it off for uh for next year. >> And I'm assuming they're still going to do their typical stuff like don't they a lot of times in school they like read off some facts or things that >> Oh yes yeah >> okay >> yeah the assumptions because the the students are never here on that day anyway >> so even with the the activities that I have another question and you can leave to table if you want but this year because we had to come back on that Monday >> and then the teachers came on Tuesday it pushed C the start of CDA back a whole week than normal is because the teachers now are going to have to come back on a Monday. Is that going to do that again? Because it affected a lot of
013people's summer camp because we're not used to going into August for everything was a whole week back and then people had no child care for like those four days, those five days um because parents are used to CDA starting and we didn't get that information until so late that a lot of summer camps were already full and it left a lot of parents scrambling. So if that's something seen or hopefully already has been. Um that makes a huge difference. >> It won't push off to August because that that Monday would be the 21st, >> right? But we can't start if the teachers are working, >> right? But even if it went to the next month, it' be the 28th of June. It would be seven days later. So it wouldn't be in August or wouldn't
014be pushed at all. >> It's still a week later though, right? Than than it historically is. >> But I don't think I I don't think CDA will be prevented from starting. I think people have the space to start start CDA. I have to I don't want to speak out of term without speaking with the safe uh about that. That's not a conversation we had. We met with the calendar committee yesterday and she's not a part of that. So, we'll check. >> Okay, we'll check. You know, because the alternative if we didn't do this would have been having the the middle school promotion on that Monday. >> So, we moved that back so that the kids don't have to come back for one day after the last weekend, but the teachers still are. >> Sorry, we'll
015check. Thanks. >> Really quick, I just wanted >> You guys never talked so much. >> I know. I know. I just wanted to piggy back on um what you said about the trip. Well, first of all, it was amazing that they got to um it was an amazing trip and my kids actually were on the lake bus of course. So, um and they both like my daughter gets very anxious. She was not the teachers on the bus were amazing. All the staff they really they had not playing games. They were playing basketball with rocks and water bottles. So, they really did do a fantastic job with the kids. And they did get back later, so everybody was a little shot out like tired, but nobody was like, "Oh, it's horrible." So, hats off to our
016teachers like the personel. >> Thank you. No further discussion. Sorry. >> All right, we're talking tonight. That's good. >> Uh, we will move on to agenda item L curriculum with items 1 through eight. I hope that's for motion. >> So move, >> Miss Glass, I think I heard you first. Second >> and Miss Pat second. Uh, discussion for curriculum 1 through eight. >> Just wanted to say um I am truly excited about number one seeing the life after high school club. Um, I know my student He's graduated in 23. This didn't exist and there was not a lot of support for the non-olbound graduating senior. Um, so I had to be the fighter advocate for him and try to gather all the information. So I'm extremely happy to see not only are they putting it
017together, but that uh the adviserss are volunteering for this position, which we always thank our adviserss for volunteering their time for our kids. And this especially um just think I I think they're going to be a great resource for a lot of kids that I think traditionally feel under supported and then I think that's all. >> Thank you Scott. >> Seeing no further discussion, Miss Henry, please call the order. >> Mr. Jones, >> yes. >> Miss Black, >> yes. >> Miss Yes. >> Miss Dawson, >> yes. >> Miss Pap, >> yes. M. Rivera, >> yes. >> Miss, >> yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Motion carries. >> Thank you. >> And we are now on agenda item 10, personnel. And we'll ask for a motion to open. >> So move. >> Thank you, Miss Glass.
018>> Second. >> And a second from Miss Man. Thank you very much. So um I am very excited to um bring up agenda item one on personnel. So I don't think it's a secret to anyone that this uh this season for the board has been a very very busy one especially the past it feels like about two years but I think it's realistically more about seven or eight months. Um so over the past really four months the board had really stepped into this uh superintendent search role um with both feet. So that started with a community survey. I am sure probably a lot of you see it here tonight um contributed to that community survey um as well as a lot of work internally with the board um both hearing feedback from our committees on
019what the needs were from the district um even feedback from um admin um from the negotiations committee and um various stakeholder um feedback was integrated to which a job description was posted. Um there were 21 candidates that had applied um for the position. The board spoke to 10 of them on a first round interview. Um after that we u narrowed it down to uh four or five candidates. Four candidates that were um went through a second round interview. It was a very rigorous process, a very timeconuming process I think for everyone involved. I know there were um several very late nights for us um as a board. So I am very thankful um for the aid of you and for your service and your time. I'm also thankful to Miss Henry and Dr. Fortoer um
020for all your time and um support in going through there's a lot of nuts and bolts in that process and the two of you did a commendable job with the nuts and bolts. So thank you. Um I am super excited to announce that the board has made a selection. Uh Dr. James Alto who is with us in the audience tonight. um really truly rose to the occasion. Um he impressed us with in his first round interview with his knowledge um about how districts operate and the needs of a superintendent. But really, I'll speak for myself and then I'll give the other board members time to speak if they'd like to also. But really for me, what really made him stand out from the group of 21 was part of our second round was to make
021a presentation to the board about what they saw that they would bring unique to boarding town and how they would um help make this district um the best it could possibly be. And Dr. Albella's presentation just um it blew my it blew me away. It was awesome. I'm super excited to um to uh development item number one and all of them folks especially item number one tonight. So I'll open the floor to the board if anybody else wants to add. >> It was a interesting process I would say fun process but um with the four candidates that did their presentation I learned from all of them something that I didn't know either an acronym or certain things that you don't you have to pick up as you go through being on the board and I
022think I learned a lot from from Dr. through his presentation and any question we had to ask of him, he was right there able to answer as well as once the nerves of the presentation got out of the way and we were just free flowing questions, he was very comfortable and I think that made a bigger difference for me when he presented that um it just became natural as we communicated and had conversation. Um, I [clears throat] just want to say we especially Melissa and I, well, especially Melissa got really thrown into the fire. Um, I wouldn't have been on the board. I think I finally got sworn in in April. I don't know, bunch of coding night. Um, and part of the reason why I put my name in was to be part of
023this process because superintendent is such an important part of the board's job and I really have just was excited to be a part of it and it didn't disappoint. Um, we did I I learned a lot about not just education in general but things that we can do to improve and things that Dr. are going hopefully do and improve. And um I'm just really excited and want to thank all of you guys for it really was I think as seamless as could be process and I think we all worked really well together and show that we are a good cohesive united board even when some of us have like zero experience. Um so um I'm just really looking forward to now being able to move forward and really like plan our feet in the ground
024and and grow and make moves and um Not that we don't love you, Dr. F. Um, but really like have our committed superintendent who's going to be here and see us through all this. So, welcome if you get voted in. >> Just to piggyback off of that, I I think what was the most important and most standout to me uh was not that he had ideas, because he did, but he had more than just ideas. He had a plan. a very well doumented accountability structure, goal structure, um, with who would be owning what processes, and it was very specific to our district. It was clear that you did the work to understand as much as you could what who we are as a district. Um, and it's easy to say this is what we're going
025to do, but beyond saying it, uh, you put a very well doumented book together of how and who, and that was what sold it for me is because ideas are great. I'm a I'm a I like a plan and an accountability structure, and you gave us that, too. So, I'm really looking forward to our future here. Thank you. Um, so obviously we I agree with everything everybody already said. The plan was huge. Like coming in, we're like, well, hey, we could just take this, you know. Um, but also for me, uh, which you see and our our community members know that our special ed program has some issues to be worked out and your knowledge with the special ed um, field and like I said the plan that you have and your um seeming willingness
026to like just jump in really hands-on and like getting into everything to make sure that we get things squared away and just start moving forward in a positive direction was was great. Your confidence, your knowledgeable um so I'm really excited to see the direction things go for all of us together. So welcome. Um, I just wanted to add that uh what everybody said I feel the same and also we put a 20 minute time frame on the presentation and he was able to do that and also he knew that he wasn't going to be able to cover all the information but he had followup backup for that and so I found that to be a great tool because you were able to deliver the message and also give us time to look over other things
027that you wasn't going to be able to cover in the 20 minutes. So, I just wanted to say that. Thank you. >> But I wanted to thank uh Lori Frick for being here with us those nights as well because she kept us fed >> and made sure we had everything we needed. Uh so, thank you for that. That was that was very nice. And though I I think I said afterwards it it was nice to have somebody in the room that was uh comfortable being confident. Um and that was something that really stuck with me and uh looking forward to everything you're going to bring to the table for our district. So thank you. >> So the process I feel like was actually very well thought of like everyone did a great job. We all
028worked well together and um Dr. Sorry if I pronounced your name wrong. Everything everyone said I agree with, but definitely your confidence, your knowledge, and you were able to explain it to someone who doesn't really have a lot of knowledge like the school system. So, it's like I guess that layman wording, which I really enjoyed, and I really look forward to working with you. But yeah, I'm looking forward to working with you and looking forward to that time because I went through it the night, oh, and it was very, you thought of it very well. You put it all together. It was very well. Thank you. >> I wanted to thank Dr. Alto for his presentation. I've only been on the board for about six weeks now, so I am very very new uh to
029all of this. Um but he provided a wealth of information in his presentation and I think moving forward uh we have a lot of plans to look forward to and I can't wait to see them to be put in place. >> Thank you. >> I just want to say to his wife Lauren, it's going to be impossible driving home with him tonight. [laughter] >> It doesn't get any better than this. So enjoy this while it's here. >> All right. How about we vote? >> So I'm going to actually I know the agenda is listed 1 through 22, but I'm actually going to ask if we could just have a motion for number one, vote on that, and then um assuming a uh positive vote, we'll actually give Dr. Alabello a minute to uh say anything
030that he'd like to say. So I'll ask for a motion for item one only. >> So move. >> Thank you, Miss and thank you, Miss Nas. Um I think we've already had discuss Just a chance for discussion. >> Okay. >> Mr. J. >> Yes. >> Miss. >> Yes. >> Miss. >> Yes. >> Thank you. [applause] >> [applause] [laughter] >> Get ready. [laughter] >> First of all, thank you all for the kind words. >> Press the button on the top. It never >> There we go. Uh, thank you all for the kind words. Uh, I appreciate it. Thank you for the trust you've placed in me. I'm deeply honored to stand before you now as the next superintendent here in Bordontown Regional. A district with a proud history, remarkable students, and a community that I know
031cares about education based on the conversations that we've had. I'm eager to begin this work with you. Working together, I am confident that we can build upon the story tradition of this school district. We can ensure that every student receives a world-class educational experience. One that meets their needs academically, socially, and emotionally in an environment that is caring, compassionate, and committed. Together, we will create a professional culture where our staff members thrive. An actionoriented, forwardinking environment which values their expertise, responds to their needs, and celebrates their impact. Together we will continue to chart a clear pathway of success for all students. Those pathways will def be defined by opportunity and excellence. We will communicate transparently. We will collaborate effectively. We will remain steadfast in our focus on continuous improvement. Donald Mcan said, "Leadership is not
032a title or a position. It is an action and example." So while tonight I accept the title of superintendent of schools, tomorrow begins the true work, earning your trust, your partnership, and your confidence. I'm humbled by this opportunity. I'm inspired by our shared purpose, and I'm energized by the possibilities that lie ahead. Thank you. [applause] Thank you very much every um I will now ask for a motion for items M2 through 22 >> second miss any discussion on items 2 through 22 >> I was going to say number 11 I'm just wondering for number 11. It doesn't say that there's an additional negotiated rate. Is is that a paid position for Mr. Kelly? >> Yeah. I was confused. >> It's that's a resending become a prior. >> Oh, that's why >> it's okay. Number 12,
033>> but in the original it said something different. That's >> and number 12 is taking it on. >> Okay. >> So, that's what that is. >> And then um for number 17 and 18, as always, we volunteers. It's nice to see um when we have volunteers in roles. So, thank you very much um for your volunteer work. >> Step team is awesome. >> Agreed. So, that was all I had. Thank you. >> Seeing no further discussion, please call the >> Mr. Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Uh we are on agenda item N business and finance 1 through 7. Ask for a motion to open. >> Thank you M. Second. >> Thank you. Discussion on business
034and finance. See discussion. Men, please hold the board. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Motion carries. >> Thank you. We do not have any policies up for review tonight. So, we'll move on to our second public comment. Agenda item P. >> One for general public comment. >> Okay. Glad I didn't read that. Save us some time. >> [laughter] >> Uh, seeing no public comment, I will move on to agenda item two. Board comments. >> Just a very quick uh thank you uh the district for allowing us to attend the SBA workshop uh again this year. Um I find the classes usually fantastic opportunities to learn and network. Uh more importantly, specifically to this year, it was a great opportunity for us as board members to spend
035a little bit of time together outside of this environment. we have a lot of newer board members. Uh so it was nice for us to be able to connect um personally because when we're here we're all business. So it was nice to be able to put business aside and and get to know each other on that that personal level. Um add in the great most of the classes that were were really great. I did write up a summary. I'll have them available. I tried to take resources for all of them. and I'll send them out if there's anything that catches your eye or you would like copies of I'm happy to uh share them. And then I forgot the paper, so I'm going to have to uh email it out. But I believe next week
036there is a meeting of the um what's it called? And >> yeah, the MTSS on my calendar. I don't know how it got there, but I didn't register for that. Yeah, >> they did a presentation at um at the workshop, but beyond that, they're a group that is working on the school funding formula and understanding it and getting it fixed for districts. Uh so they do have regular like monthly meetings. They're supposed to be monthly. They're a little little more than a month. Um so that's I didn't attend the workshop because it was it was door closed by the time I was was there. Um but she did send that out the slideshow out. So, if anyone was interested in those slides, I'm happy to share them. And if anyone's interested in attending, the meetings
037are usually pretty short, but full of good information on what's coming down the pipes for uh school funding um and the formulas. So, I'm happy to share that as well. If anyone's interested, just shoot me a message and I'll send you the link. >> Thank you. >> I'm going to piggy back on that because I'm pretty sure that session that you're mentioning is the one that I did make it into. It was it was a very uh small room with limited attendance. But um there's good news and there's bad news with regard to the existing formula which is what we will be dealing with um for next year's budget for sure. Um and the good news is that there is some amount of predictability to it. However, the bad news is at the end of
038the day there is a what they defined what they called a multiplying factor that basically takes all that and wipes it out because the multiplying factor is determined to the best of their ability in that presentation um on the state's budget and then basically however many budget dollars are available they take that multiplier and throw that in the mix and that's how they make it work. So all those pre-qualifying things that you can predict in the state formula become null and void basically by that multiplier. So that is the news. That being said, it was an informative session. I do think they are a good group doing good work with regard to gaining some transparency around the funding formula and how it works as well as advocating for a more balanced formula so that hopefully
039in future years we don't find ourselves in similar situations as we have for the past uh past few. Um so I will share um the slides as well as my notes with the finance committee the next time we meet um on what those formula you know the pieces that we do know and then what that multiplier is. Again at the end of the day we're still going to be at the mercy of that um what is it March March whatever timeline where the state announces their budget and then we hear a day or two later. But um at least we have more information which can never hurt. I also did the rest of my time at um workshop was spent on um understanding working with referendums which is also something else that we will be
040discussing early next year. So um more more to to be continued there if you want to know ahead of time on that region. So thank you miss the floor open for anybody else who wants to >> Okay. [laughter] Um I just wanted to say well the same thing the workshop's always great. Um but because we are a new more green word I guess you would say I want to um I know you're still going to be with us a little bit longer Dr. for supper. But um I just wanted to say thank you so much. >> Um because I know well, you know, I'm new too and I feel like um really sitting at the table is the way you're going to learn and figure things out. having you um agree to step in and
041help us make really difficult choices and um share your thoughts and your expertise on things was so invaluable. Like I don't think that we would have survived without you. So I for one am so grateful. I know that's a sentiment on the board. Um I'll just speak for you all [laughter] but No, but really thank you so much. >> My wife was here. [laughter] >> But yeah, thank you so much for your um your help with everything. >> Thanks. >> I don't watch the recording. >> Um I have no sentimental value at all. Um I the the biggest thing I got out of um school the SBA was I went to the legislative panel which I thought was really um interesting and just seeing especially like the govern like like New Jersey has a big
042choice next week to make um and just seeing really if if you're not sure yet or on the whatever or you don't have any idea or you not interested anything just look at their policies on education and and there was just so much information about bills coming down the line and things that the state assembly wants to do. And um um there were just so many ideas about like state busing and redistricting and um not redistricting, but you know, you know, >> like regionalizing just there's just a lot of stuff going on on the state level that doesn't we don't necessarily always know about because a it gets voted off or you know whatever like no one even hears about it, but there's just a lot going on there and it was really interesting to
043see the actual lawmakers up there like I mean it was pretty much debate. Um and it was just really really interesting. So if you have any questions um kind of remember most of it. Um and then I also went to a lot of sessions about like educating Gen Z and like curriculum of the future and like I went to one that um was um gave information about getting grants for outside spaces and stuff like that. I kind of you know I'm like into all of that stuff. Um, so it was just really like a different take on things and getting to see other educators, not other an educator, but different educators and different superintendents and um, give their their experiences and what they've done and how they failed and how they raised money and how
044um, so it really was like an invaluable experience. It was also fun to be there. Um, and um, so yeah, so thanks for allowing us to go. >> I just wanted to piggy back off the jan real quick. Um, it was a fun time and I did learn a lot of things. Um, and one thing that I always take away because this is like my second opportunity of spending like a weekend. I forgot what the first one was, you know, when I worried. So, um, in in some of these sessions, they'll ask they'll give like a a question and and they'll ask the people round table and in one of the sessions we were like there was me Laura I think Ryan and we were like well we don't have that problem with our board
045members you know and it was a couple of things that the other person brought up and it was like no that's not a problem here so I find it uh I'm grateful that a lot of issues that some districts have with their board members are not happening here >> and to add to that. Mr. Rivera, um something that I know for we're not in the third year yet, are we? Or we are in the third year. Yeah. Something that's been on uh both Miss Pap and Mai's eyes for uh the past three years is um certification. So, we'll both be there's a tenure um that's needed before you can be certified.

We're a little behind on that, but when we get there, just going to throw it out there. Maybe we want to think about a board level certification in addition to our
047own individual certifications that you've all earned credit towards getting um just by being at workshop. So, um >> there you go. That that is a good I think that one's a six-y year goal, but that's a good one. I fully support you doing that. I think that would be awesome.
