018comments over and over but over the last month or so both formally and informally I've kind of met with some administrators teachers parents even my own students at home in the district and I just want to again pass on the positivity that I'm getting I am really excited about how positive everyone in the district has been how excited everyone has been about this school year about our new Administration about a lot of the new things that we have going on um I know that I have been really invigorated by by the last you know half year or so by the new Administration by the new leadership and I'm really excited about it so I just want to keep getting that out there in the public at things on our end and for what we're hearing
019from everyone else seems to be going really well and we are really excited about us we want to thank you guys again I'm at the top of the administration of the principals everybody for the job that you guys are doing we're hearing nothing but great things so thank you awesome all right Dr Freeman anything you want to add for your superintendentals report no other than the students of the month I want to thank the principals the administration essentially about this work just being very open-minded to change and they really create the videos create the positive atmosphere which blows down the teams with the kids and the parents so thanks a lot to our Administration for the central office administration and the principles with the great work that they're doing excellent all right we are up
020to committee reports um so we can go through those uh obviously it's been a few weeks we actually had the common materials and make sure that we have peer advice on issues that are going to appear later in the agenda for this morning so um can I keep you on a roll and we can start with education sure uh I'll just let you know that I was not really prepared to do education so I'm going to be reading off the agenda so I will do the best that I can um there were four items on our agenda on the first was that we have started in November our Extended Learning Academy it's going all the way through April um right now I think we started with grades one and two is that well we're in
021week one through eight right now okay I will be adding kindergarten in January okay there you go um we are also still we had talked about I don't know if this was brought to the full board or not I don't remember but we had talked about kind of as an educational Community the inability to find ESL teachers it's very hard in all districts department and we're now uh looking into other ways which we I think actually Mr Januzzi said there are really two ways you can either find them or you can take the teachers you have and train them and so we have been looking into different programs to get them trained as either or certified I should say as ESL teachers the teachers that we have I know that we've already had a few
022teachers respond in the apartment that they're they're interested at the end of the last time I heard was three staff members that wanted the certification so because we have not been able to find teachers elsewhere we're going to look in-house and see if we can find ESL teachers that so we're going to approach it a different way and see if that works um we are also looking at new uh new Ela curriculum it's been you know we're through the cycle on our current curriculum so we're looking at a new curriculum we have several that we're looking at I don't have a lot of updates on that because we haven't chosen anything yet but we are working through the process um eventually I don't as this was among that we're working with and each week the
023defender is coming in to meet with a team of teachers um to go through their products we're hoping to narrow it down to um two or three products in January and then begin piloting them in classrooms and also possibly doing some visits to other schools that are using them so things are definitely moving along on that which is wonderful and the last one was also very exciting Mr Ross came in to speak to us as a committee about a new concurrent enrollment opportunity with Stockton University so it will not replace but it will add on to what we already have so we will have concern enrollment now with Stockton as well as rbcc so everything that he presented looked incredibly positive it looks like a win-win I I really don't see a downside to it
024um there's going to be more programs there's going to be um hope we hope more students involved they're going to be going uh or graduating high school with hopefully even more college credits with it with an act with actual credits from Stockton that they can bring either to Stockton or another University that would accept them as transfer credits it's really a wonderful program very similar to what we have but but more but added on so so I was really happy to hear about that in committee as well and then just to tie those two items together there's actually an item on our agenda for later this evening I think it's 8.2 where we are endorsing now any questions from Mr Bowen the education committee um if it's okay I'm going to jump around to talk
025about getting the Outreach sure sure so we had we had a really great meeting um with uh the representative from the about Alumni Association uh we found that they are actually doing a lot to support the school including the trophy cases outside of the athletic areas they're also running a scholarship program so we're our goal is to to continue to collaborate and work with them support them by attending their meetings as well as bringing them back to meet with us further and I think you know supporting the alumni by getting students that are exiting out graduating seniors enrolled in an alumni program and building that up so that we're feeding that alumni program a little bit better than we have in the past is an objective um I think uh Dr Freeman is going to
026collaborate with the group to see how we can support with building up the trophy cases helping to support um you know getting some of those programs supported by the the school district and then I believe our next meeting we're going to be bringing in Agatha from the Bound Brook PTO so we'll have a chance to sit down and talk to her and I'm really excited to see the program she's working on how we can support and collaborate with them and I think really the committee's goal is to just get as many representatives from our outline community in and meet with us to collaborate and build up that connection between the school district community so it wasn't really positive yeah I would add on to that the week after our committee meetings the Alumni Association actually
027had their next meeting I was fortunate enough to be able to go in the tent um you know many smiling faces teachers Educators community members that we've seen in the past and I think they're still all very passionate about what we're trying to do within the community so I think there's a lot of Goodwill and a lot of opportunity and I think just being receptive to that and understanding and finding mutually beneficial wasting partner it's going to just work out really well for everybody um and then the other thing that I would add and we've talked about this after the meeting but it's an action item that we have to follow up on it's probably not feasible for us to reach every single group within the community if we're only going to have an opportunity
028to invite one per monthly meeting so um I think what we're intending to do with the committee is really to think hard about who are the closest groups that we have the best opportunities to partner with for immediate effect and then what our strategy could be to reach yeah because I think generally speaking our our intent is to engage every really Community member and enlist their support in continuing to make this the best uh institution of the campaign so how we do that might need to vary depending on um the the individual rules but their goal Still Remains to reach them absolutely and I think those initial meetings and those initials you know right now I don't think any type of communication has been uh has been happening so just that initial conversation we've been
029learning so much just from that on how to move forward normal friends yeah it's all good stuff great thanks Lisa any questions for Lisa and Community how are you all right how about uh do we have anything that we want to cover from Human Resources or is that all executive content um I don't believe there's some general um so the njs the a will review salary guides yearly at no cost see regarding new hires we wanted the district would like to streamline the onboarding process one to ensure that you know transcripts and any other credits were acknowledged and noted in the system making sure that everybody is only informed of [Music] any any impact any benefits um that may affect them and just to sign off on like if there's like a disclosed reform just
030to acknowledge I'll get to something um there is a new portal that um for central office or recommendations regarding current procedures and observations future in the spirit of like Middle East to identify staff needs as they occur to save time and in future for negotiations um and then we sort of generally discuss ways to incentivize and retain our employees and we've got some ideas like discounts at local sporting events um and then I'd just like to you know the thing that we are continuing to track vacancies with a with some historical perspective to better understand why those vacancies are there and how they're occurring um and the big thank you to the HR assistant [Music] thank you any questions McDonald's absolutely governance was uh actually very short this month we only had two items and
031they were both pre-rolling uh to be going rather boring um well they you know clearly there were the most exciting things uh one we have discussed and we hope with your blessing in the next meeting we want to condense our meetings um not quite to a consent agenda but close to it uh right now I'm sure you've all known as we say yes about 15 times per meeting and we want to cut that down hopefully and condense some of the items so we've asked Mr Gorski possibly starting at the next meeting to put to put some of those to combine some of those things together just so that our meetings run a little bit more streamlined of course there will still be opportunities to speak on any topic or ask any questions that you need
032to but as far as the actual yeah you're Naval we want to cut those out and the other item was just something that came up when I was down in Atlantic City at the convention um something that they recommended there was no I don't use the word enforcing but making the public aware of uh our time limits on public speaking uh right now I don't even know if everyone here is aware but we do have a three minute time limit in our Bibles or um we don't really ever have to enforce it because really people don't go over three minutes we know they have in the past and be consistent with that whether positive or negative or Mutual comments we want to make sure that everybody's given the same amount of time so we talked
033about ways that we could do that um down there we they went from everything from just our president making a short comment beforehand to holding up a timer in front of them as they speak and counting down so there are lots of different ways I think we kind of decided as a committee let's start with the least of those and not like countdown and have like radically numbers as we're giving them said we're going to start with maybe uh Mr janucci just making a comment before that happens to make everybody aware that they have three minutes so those are really the only two things like I said is very procedural nothing nothing too exciting any questions there foreign to everybody just in case anyone was in favor of that one of you all to have
034all the information but as a committee we said that's probably not the best ideas if anyone has other opinions on that feel free to share yeah and the only thing that I guess the only thing I would add is I think it's really important and I was happy that you were able to attend uh the conference because it's it really is important to have that context of what's happening in the world world right outside of our own walls and what best practices might exist because there may be situations that don't confront us today but could tomorrow and so some of these best practices you know we have the opportunity to learn from other people's uh examples and mistakes that potentially prevent those from your career so I think that's all good but as you said
035with moderation right and under and understanding the needs a little bit worse messages so any questions from Mike um governance right lots of discussion tonight very good all right last committee is actually operations and I will cover in Rogers absence um I'm going to stick to just the highest of the highlights uh the first one because you will see on the agenda later tonight is that we received a presentation from Mr Santana regarding the upcoming trip from the Middle School to Washington DC uh and it would potential request to uh fund some portion of the cost as necessary to make sure that it is a rewarding fulfilling experience for the students that are traveling so just want to confirm that the operations committee did endorse that request and that's why you do see it on
036the agenda for the team uh we also discussed the current sle uh 03 that we have uh on staff you can actually recall that we did replace uh officer Omer when he retired with a different type of officer and at the time we recognized that the cost of that was actually substantially less because the engagement was of a different car um and so now with some experience under our belts and with the administration continuing to confirm the local police force we want to revisit the opportunity for us to bring on an additional so through as the opportunity arises and again something that the operations committee did endorse it does still fit within our original budget allocation and we think we've improved our safety environment uh there is a recommendation from the business administration office that
037we evaluate the current software that we're using for budgeting financial management um for those of you who may not be aware we have been using Genesis for that which is the software platform that we use for just about everything at the education this year as well um they do some functions well but we've encountered some difficulties that we're all covering through our last audit as well as the administration of our 2022-2023 budget so there is a recommendation you can put forward by Administration to transfer to a new vendor I believe it is C [Music] uh so we're hopeful that we can leverage some of that historical data and Port over the information from Genesis that we recruited over the last few years and then make a seamless transition at the end of this week so
038again something to look forward to um for endorsement um and the last thing that I will hit on and it has to do with the preparation for next year's budget and I know it probably feels a little bit sooner for us to start discussing that but the reality is the approach that our Administration is intending to take this year is really what's called a zero-based margin and you might have seen this in Dr Freeman's weekend report uh that essentially means we're starting uh we are not inflating numbers over prior allocations that have already been approved we're going to start from the ground up with each building supervisors and we are going to enumerate the things that we are committed to spend that we would like to spend and that we think we need to invest
039um and in the process that's you know typically not something that you want to repeat on an every year type of basis because it can be a very time consuming experience but for budgets that have been rolled over for a period of time whether it's five years eight years ten years there are anomalies that tend to just continue to repeat themselves without necessarily and this is one of the great methodology to use to actually find those instances and potentially repurpose and established a better effect at the bare minimum it will make sure that every dollar that's in our budget is fully understood and invested with purpose and I think that alone justifies the need for us to go through the exercise so again just making sure you all appreciate the fact that the operations committee
040supports that and questions on operations I have one yeah just to test your alphabet soup an SRO school resource officer what does SLE stand for special law enforcement officer and it's actually a class three which is uh it recently retired officer so I think it's within the last five years I will say I left one thing out for those of you who haven't noticed or received notifications there is a major renovation going on up at Lamont field the place of turkey lights and we're excited that that's underway and we're really excited to see what the results are when that's completed in the spring just one thing um [Music] I'm completely in favor of uh helping to fund the trip I I don't remember in the past that we funded fund that in the past I
041don't remember I think it went I think the answer to that is you know uh pre-pandemic and certainly uh recently there is an amount that is included in the budget for the middle school that is partially subsidized there's also a significant amount of activity that goes on for this year in particular what we're finding is the costs are rising faster than people's willingness or ability to pay and we don't necessarily want that to become a temporary barrier for people uh because in a lot of ways this is a very significant experience for many kids it'll be the first time that they're away from home overnight without a parent I know even for my daughter who's in eighth grade we haven't actually been to Washington DC so um for kids who haven't actually made the trip
042I do think it's um important we believe this is probably a temporary thing so it's not necessarily something that we're going to have to fund on a continuing basis and certainly before we plan the next trip other moves can be explored but in the interim we wanted to make sure that the kids in the community school knew that we were behind no problem absolutely any other questions on operations Lisa did we have any updates for the Somerset County um not yet not till next month I never get the schedule right I appreciate it again it's okay that looks like it does it for committee reports any other comments related to committees that have oh only one we have to get zoom out on a committee or two awesome so for your reference the way that
043we tend to do that pick whichever folks who are most interested in and we will find a way to make sure that we have the right coverage yeah it is so you don't absolutely don't have to pick right now but between now and myself on those committee meetings are the first Monday of each month typically unless there's a holiday or some other reason that's what they usually and because we have to reschedule this week we're back on track for next week right yeah that's right next week is the first Monday again oh by the way which means everyone's sorry that means all charity people should be getting their attention this week good job though thank you because I would have forgotten that thank you all right and with that note I think we're going to
044close discussion on the Committees and move to item number 4.1 which is open for public participation or agenda items Tom do you know if we have any questions online I don't see anybody rushing to the mic in the room by all means foreign [Music] nothing great thank you sir we are at the item 5.1 resolved at the Bound Brook Board of Education approved the minutes for the November 3rd 2022 regular business [Music] second continue discussion yeah I will foreign yes it's awesome yes yes Miss moosen abstain Mrs yes hi yes we are up to item number one result that the superintendent recommends for approval the resolution is outlined the person no resolutions on your district for high school this is 6.2 6.27 I have a motion motion thank you Mr Brownell a second I'm going

047I have a motion I give us the battle a second thank you any discussion [Applause] all right you already know can you have a roll call please Mr valve yes this is awesome yes because they know yes moosen yes Ocean passes all the developmental Board of Education approves the resolutions as outlined in policy resolutions under District High School this is just 10.2 they have a motion no oh thank you and the second thank you any discussion yes Miss hi abstain Mr januzi yes motion passes thank you item 11.1 was on the battle report of Education approves the resolutions as outlined in Special Services resolutions 11.2 and 11.3 I have a motion thank you Mr Russell the second thank you Mr Midas discussion yes yes abstain yes ocean pests thank you item number 12.1 was all

049the completion of the November meeting is faster than we've done thank you Mr Januzzi that's absolutely correct though I'd like to thank my staff they hustled the last couple days to get that last month completed with the bank reconciliation which we reviewed today and although we don't like to put it in the agenda of the day of the meeting we're current now so that's a very comfortable feeling thank you much appreciated any other comments or questions on anything in section 12 . can we have a roll call please Mr battle yes this is awesome yes Miss Casino yes Miss moosen uh yes but it's abstain from 23. thank you Mr midhus yes hi yes motion passes we are a couple two new business is there anything that we haven't discussed yet this evening that any
050of the members of the Court would like to bring to the floor I actually had a couple things one should have been actually under 11 12 but um we had 30 writing folks uh what happens does anybody have any idea because there was no one named in the report it just said 30 writing votes do you have any idea yes I compared the write-in votes that I received the Ledger from the county identifying who the writing books were and tabulated them they didn't come anywhere close to the number one two and three elected candidates so they're they're just extra votes ages would they like to join of course but I think it's encouraging to see that there are community members that are interested in doing the body I think that's something we've debated or struggled
051with for a bit um we've been seeing people that have an interest or at least enough interest to be written into uh the election I think it's an encouraging sign so officially unofficially if we do have uh open seats they seem to be a good place to call from um and even if not an opportunity to reach out to them and see if they're interested in engaging without being beneficial I think all those things are on the table so you know awesome thank you for bringing up and you know some people I answered another one more question please there were three seats open for the election and those were all satisfied three they're mating votes applied only to those three open seats those would have to be applied for go through the same process that
052this High went through okay but I think the observation though is knowing that we're not a full board if people aren't aware that that's an opportunity that's available to them it's something that I think we will move us to reach out and make them aware of direct okay uh one other thing we have talked kind of intermittently through the years and we even put a committee together a while back uh about suspensions um we had talked about kind of I know that most of the members of that committee are no longer even on the board I think I might be the only one left um but I know Mr Smith and uh some other principals sat with us and we really broke down the policy on suspensions and I don't know why it hit me
053yesterday I was just wondering if maybe sometime in the near future we can kind of see a report of how our work through that committee has changed what we're seeing because I think our goal as a committee at that time was to keep kids in school as much as we can we the 10-day suspension while at times is absolutely warranted we wanted to get away from that as much as we could and keep kids in school and we'd kind of like to say I would like to see anyway how things have changed since since we kind of adjusted those policies we tweaked those policies a little bit to see if they've made any difference or to see if we need to revisit them and I mean if there's a need we don't know if there's
054a need or not but if there is you know something we'd like to touch on maybe yes we've got um a recent diagram tissue back in the state in terms of our percentages so we're going through those things now so we'll have a complete report for you I would like to add for the next meeting but I don't think it's going to be done by this okay great thank you excellent any other comments or questions from your business okay then with that we are currently open to the public we are knowledge so I believe last I looked there were none but I will refresh the page also saying now okay we are up to item 16.1 uh resolve that we need to move into an executive session I mean this would be under items two
