001hope you'll see it's going live in a minute now something for like a torture chamber okay can we begin the meeting by Sir Roman Jeanne I like to take the roll if I may okay missus a broom here mr. Capano here mrs. Fredo I believe she's mute it I see her though doctor pantheon Oh doctor Papillon Oh [Music] mr. rain court yeah mr. Russo here mr. Shelley here Teddy I'm here okay very good mr. Roman Gina okay thank you I just want to take a couple of minutes to just go over a few ideas before we look at our consent agenda I just want to make note that today officially was the last day of virtual learning for our students ah the last day for staff is Friday June 19th they'll be finishing up some
002submitting of grades and other housekeeping tasks that that take place at the end of the school year but today was the last official day for our students just a couple of things I wanted to just remind the public of and the board we are still going forward with our virtual graduations June 29th which is a Monday will be the middle school and June 30th which is a Tuesday will be the high school both middle school in high school are in the process of organizing the virtual programs whether it's taking pictures of students families and other things that will be going on so we will be showing those virtually since the last time you bet we met I know I've sent an email out and I've said send some correspondence to parents the governor has said
003that after July 6th he will be lifting outdoor gatherings to 500 people and that means that we are also going to plan some type of live celebrations for our middle school and high school students right now we have tentative dates July 8th for the high school and July 9th for the middle school there'll be two sessions there will be a three o'clock session and a six o'clock session and the reason for the two sessions is not to go over the 500 occupant limit right now the plans are tentative where we're in the process of we'll be meeting with the police and the borough for their help we're also going to be meeting with the administration from both buildings but right now we feel that if we do a three o'clock and a six o'clock we'll
004be able to socially distance on the high school field we will have a parent I'm sorry student with two parent with a parent two parents or guardians or close relatives and we're going to limit to that so that we can stay within the 500 occupant limit so we will be printing tickets we will be giving tickets to the students both middle school and high school so that they can bring two people of their choice with them and you know the program will be not exactly like our graduation per se but we will recognize students we will have them come up pick up their diplomas with their parents so after the three o'clock is over that will give us time to disinfect chairs will have a custodial staff there disinfect the podium whatever else needs to
005be disinfected and then we'll be ready for our 6:00 second part - more than likely it'll be divided up by alphabet so students with named a through L Michael first and then so on and so forth that hasn't been finalized yet but mr. Bergner mr. Pibb will be sending out notifications to parents and students letting them know the specifics of those two dates what's going on in those two days we also have two rain dates set aside just in case probably the 13th and 14th but all of that will be put in writing and sent to the parents any questions on that right now mr. omen Gino in other words there'll be sets of three chairs spread out on the field okay right and fortunately the field is big enough where if we have sets
006of three we'll be able to socially distance them everyone will have to wear masks so we will follow all protocol whatever the guidelines are from the state advance mind wearing masks yes and you know we should be okay as far as that's concerned okay thank you I also I sent you in an email a recent demographic study that we had done by Ross Hebert and associates I don't know if you had time look through the Democratic study but with all that's been going on with the virtual programs and closing at the end of the year I'm gonna put that off and have that a discussion regarding the demographic study in July it'll give you a little bit more time to look over the hungary's but I would like to talk to the board about the
007five-year projections what the impact would be to current classroom space staffing budget things like that so we will discuss it and but I didn't want to get it out to you this way your leisure you'll have time to look it over so I'm gonna mark Jack July and missed our fan oh I don't think we set a date yet did we I don't believe so mr. omen - you know it's usually probably going to be around first or 22nd we'll get that confirmed in the next week okay so we'll get the dates out to thee to the board and to the public as to when we when we'll set the July meeting usually in July we have one meeting a combination of our work session in our public session since it's the summer and usually
008it's a little bit slower I did meet today with a district wide committee that I had set up about 37 people on the committee a cross-section of staff members supervisors custodians cafeteria bussing just to talk a little bit about what September might look like and you know today was just just talking about some what-ifs but we are really waiting for the governor and the Department of Ed to send out guidelines for September because until then it's very difficult to make specific plans for September and we could talk about what the nurses offices might look like or what supplies we might need little things but it's very difficult to plan what a classroom might look like how many kids do we have to take temperatures when students and/or staff arrive at the school I don't know
009if any of this will be mandated but we're preparing for it just in case so when we do get the specifics from the governor and the Department of Ed I will be meeting with our principals I'll be meeting with district wide committee will be sharing recommend recommendations to the board you know none of us really know at this time if it's going to be if you can do this fine if you can't go virtual so I don't know you know right now a lot of the specs that they gave us for summer camp or for summer school are pretty difficult in terms of the number of students in the class or what has to be done when students enter the building I don't know if September they'll ease that a little bit more because we'll
010be further along but until we get that notification from the state again it's it's really just many what-ifs as you know what could we do or what are the expectations but we will be spending a good part of the summer planning for what I hope is a live opening in September where everyone's back to school as far as back-to-school is concerned for sports I know you've heard the governor talk about youth sports youth sports are different than high school sports so there's really been nothing as far as high school sports yet everything that he's spoken about our team sports you know soccer leagues Little League things like that they're outside of the school the only thing that we can do as a school right now are virtual meetings with the kids we still haven't been
011giving any okay yet as to whether or not we can start actual practices and what the guidelines will be I spoke with Dave perfetto today he said that he expects by Friday or early next week the State Association will be sending out some guidelines I'm sure they're in consultation with the governor and the Department of Ed so once we have specifics on that then we can also start talking about appointing coaches for the fall season which we normally would do in May sometimes the latest June but I've held off on that and most districts are because we just don't know have any we don't have any guidelines as to whether or not there's even going to be a fall season so once we get that information then we can move forward with recommendations for coaches
012for the fall same is true for co-curricular activities once we know whether or not we're actually going to be back so I'll keep everyone informed as far as that's concerned one thing I did want to mention is in our next meeting we are going to have a resolution that's going to approve the board self evaluation you know that you had the opportunity to take part in that I think primarily in March I sent you a copy of the self-evaluation which is completed by you the board members and all the ratings and comments that were made so we're going to we're going to have a resolution to accept that at our next meeting I don't know if anyone at this time has any questions about that self-evaluation or wants to comment on it prior to next
013week's meeting okay so then what we'll do then is next week I will have a an evaluation that will accept the board self evaluation and as I mentioned earlier I'll also have a resolution to accept my evaluation which I know later on at a personnel meeting you're going to discuss those are things that are mandated by the state so we're just following their guidelines I do want to mention I emailed you this week that were pretty proud of some of our high school students Shawn Adler who's an English teacher in the high school had his classes write some essays about their insights on kovin 19 they published a book I spoke to Steve Fogarty our attorney and we drew up a release for parents to sign so that we can publish the book and right
014now the book should be on Amazon for sale and any profits from that book will go towards the High School PTO organization and they in turn use that for different events for students and so on and so forth well I asked them if they could send the board complimentary copies so we can look through them or at least a few he said he'll be doing that so once I get them I'll share those copies with the board but I did read a couple of the essays and they are very very good our kids and the teacher did an excellent job putting that together any questions on that okay so at this time if there are no questions I'm going to go to the consent agenda and just point down a couple of items before we
015take a vote on it you know June is usually the time of the year when we approve contracts for the following year so between this week and next week's meeting will be reappointing all of our staff support staff and so on and so forth so we're in the process of putting an agenda together that takes a little bit of time to get all that information ji'er is doing it now she should have it out to the board by Friday so you'll have time to review it but again it's something we usually do this meeting but with the contract not settled and the salaries not finalized yet we needed a little bit more time but on the personnel agenda I do want to just point out a couple of items we're appointing Frank barato as treasurer
016for the 2020 21 school year at an annual salary of 14 for 20 a lot of these contracts that I'm going to just quickly go over were settled last year so they're just they bought the dollar amounts have already been agreed upon this year we're just stating them as resolution it's not gee if a van Pavano is reappointed as Secretary to the superintendent at 68 513 Nancy lucano the central office accountant at 70,000 greg luciano transportation order at 75 coordinator we have two maternity leaves that we're updating for September Amy Matassa who's a middle school phys ed teacher will be taking a leave effective September first Amy will be retired returning tentatively on or about January 11th Kara Clinton was a pre-k handicapped teacher at school number five has been on a maternity leave and
017as per contract she is asking for a year of a maternity for all of next year for the 2000 2021 school year she'll return 2021 so we're proving that right now for your contract for the years 2000 18 19 19 years 120 120 122 is the last resolution on page 2 and then the other pages are just expanded resolutions of the ones that I read which we always do in the sense of the county missed our photo I know you have a resolution under finance there's a couple mr. Romans you know one is the retaining wall we have to its a submission resolution to approve submission to Department of Education for the retaining wall project to the high school field and the other is a up to resolution it's really for a capital reserve it
