009part of page three um some teacher aides who we are uh hiring for our buses and also our special education programs about uh halfway down the page we are approving some new teachers to the district uh julia gennada will be uh starting off as a substitute teacher and once fully certified will be part of our title one program at school number six uh marianne brody will be a new elementary art teacher she will be assigned to schools four and six uh effective this september uh last resolution on page three jennifer mcrae we're revising her request for a maternity leave which will begin on or about september 20th uh page four we are accepting the resonate resignation of vincent conforti who was a full-time custodian of the high school we're also accepting the resignation of larry

011also doing the same thing for uh on page five for tenured staff adjusting their salaries due to the classification change and non-tenured and non-tenured staff i should say uh bottom of page five we are approving salaries for teacher aides who will be with us this year um as part of our special education program and also our kindergarten program and those aides are being appointed on pages five six seven and eight and if we jump over to page eight as we do each year we are approving um uh staff members to um be part of our co-curricular program uh academic advisors of the high school academic decathlon robotics and so on and so forth so on and so forth which is again contractual with the uh klitsley park education association uh page let's i think we're
012just from that point we can jump over to well page 12 i do want to point out with the board that we are approving the settlement that was discussed last week uh with the case versus js versus the coastline park board of education and the opening school opening guidelines on page 13 uh for the 2020 one school year as i mentioned before those guidelines will be posted to our website tomorrow for staff and uh parents to review mr fano under finance a couple of things mr roman china mr capata mentioned our facilities uh all of our facilities project with the exception of the gym renovations mentioned have been completed so again great job by our contract defenders and our custodial staff we are engaging right now with our auditors for the 21 2021 school year
013and looking to close that school year in the next month 30 to 60 days and we are starting to engage in our budget and our capital projects for our budget year 22 23 we'll be meeting with facilities committee and our finance committee in the coming weeks go through some assessments of some of the key projects that we may be taking on in the 2022 summer that would be predicated on our final audit and our final surplus dynamics that's pretty much it mr thank you okay any questions uh from the board regarding the consent agenda sure we are going to consider that i have a principal's meeting tomorrow that i'm going to discuss that with our principals uh the other thing that we need to look at and i'm going to be doing this with our
014uh mrs russo our director of special services in making sure that we have enough aids to cover our special education classes because as you know we're mandated to have depending upon the class so many age per class so once those positions are filled i will have a discussion with our principals and see if there's a need and and then we'll go from there i just feel like this year it's going to be even more challenging last year it's possible because we're not virtual we're not high for more kids in school so good point okay i will look into that let the board know thank you okay anyone else on the consent agenda motion to accept i'll make a motion that was mr kapana was number one and starbuck was number two okay i'd like to
