011our anti-bullying chairperson and again i will be recommended by mr roman gina would appoint me as our qualified purchasing agent with a bid threshold of to be 40 000 for the 2021 school year and then it goes into our disbursement of funds page three uh page four in regard to td bank uh warrants checks page five it's just basic petty cash signers vp president so on and so forth uh page six again page six in the middle there that's all our state contracts and all our county cooperatives if you go to the bottom of that you'll see in the middle there on the bottom second from the bottom jct solutions that's our newest vendor contractor the jct solution is going to be ones if you recall are going to be doing the implementation of alyssa's
012law the panic buttons and also uh the installation of the new pa systems at our high school in number five school and the the pretty much the rest of the agenda is approximately about 65 vendors and contractors that we're appointing for a variety of products and services all our architects engineers attorneys auditors are being appointed uh we received all their certified paperwork and we received all their fees and quotes and there's like i said a bevy of of contractors or providing a uh a slew of products and services that we are approving here hvac and so on and so forth like i said there's approximately 65 in total if you go towards the end of the agenda and that's on page the the last page on page 21 the resolution recommended by the superintendent of
013schools to confirm the review and instruction of the school ethics act including the signing by all board members on may 20th 2020 the acknowledgment of receipt form code of ethics thank you to all getting that back to me that will be put in the file and also will be scanned to the state and the county uh that's pretty much it on the reorganization mr roman gino i don't know if there's any questions from the board or the public i have questions okay i'm gonna start on page seven okay just for reference uh winning grants for fifty thousand dollars approximately how much money does winning grants bring into the district to warrant a payment of 50 000 well this year alone we're getting a 500 21st century after school grant and we've been receiving that for
014the last three years in addition to the uh after school grant which of 500 thousand dollars um she also writes up and works on our nclb federal money which is approximately six hundred thousand and change we have a new cares uh grant that's being written as we speak from the state that's for 481 000 um so there's quite a lot of money that we do receive both federally and from the state that she helps us with in terms of uh writing grants i know there besides some of the things that i mentioned i know she also does some work with our special ed department with our idea grant and i know she also helps out mr alfano with the safety and security grant so uh that company's been with us for over 20 years and
015um we've done very very well in terms of the amount of money we've received from both the federal and the state governments yes it sounds it sounds like they do an excellent job considering how much money that they bring into the district i i have to say that the uh 21st century after school program has been excellent and i know that it hasn't cost the parents anything so it seems like that's money well spent thank you very well thank you i'm going to continue down the agenda because i do have some other questions you'll have to forgive me but uh it seems like we have two auditors on here one is wilcox and one is lurch vinci and higgins and i'm curious as to why we need two auditors we have one we have one
016main order that's wilcox and there are times we use larch and vinci for specific projects if we need a specific financial analysis or a pro forma but our main auditor is uh wilcox they do our audit in september and october they write up our our findings and they are our really our point point firm for any anything called auditing we have we keep lurch and vinci there in case we do again any one-off performers or financial analysis they may help us with we've worked with them in the borough uh they are in close contact with the borough sometimes we do collaborative projects with the borough and then we use them that's on an as needed basis correct correct ad hoc thank you you're welcome i'm continuing down the agenda you'll have to forgive me i'm
017scrolling on another computer and we're still leasing um the modulars at five school we didn't buy those no so do we you forgive me i wasn't on the board at the time so i'm just trying to understand do we own the ones at three and lease the ones if five or we lease all of them lease all of them so we don't own any of those modulars correct so they're on annual leases correct okay thank you you're welcome and i have uh forgive me as i said i'm scrolling down i have one or two more questions no worries uh the chromebooks the desktops they're all on lease lease purchase so at the end of the lease we own them one dollar correct they're on free year most of them are on three year but it's
018beneficial because it's a smaller amount upfront than buying them outright yes beneficial i think that's a fair assessment beneficial to lisa and then at the end of the lease we buy him for a dollar okay [Music] i have one or two more big questions when we buy them for a dollar just going back to that as i'm as i'm uh going down the agenda do we still use them after the lease do they still have life in them do we repurpose them do we give them to kids what do we do with them as they enter the lease the majority of them have life the ones that don't have life we actually use them for parts so our tech staff is uh pretty good in terms of if a screen on on a chromebook breaks
019or for keyboard breaks they may take a a chromebook that's older and use a keyboard that is workable or a screen that is uh is not cracked so we do we do use a lot of them for parts so it's actually beneficial to the district to do the lease purchase like that because we have the parts i know you know thankfully in in the situation where we're doing the virtual learning it's really a good thing that we were ahead of the curve on having one-to-one chromebooks at least for the older greats because i know a lot of districts scrambled to get the kids devices but our kids already had it i think it really helped to uh to kick off the virtual learning in my opinion right and even though we didn't have a one-to-one
020program uh in grades pre-k to six we were able to accommodate parents and still could accommodate parents who might not have a computer at home and need a chromebook we've offered that to our parents um since we've been in this virtual learning situation and i think we've given out about 180 chromebooks to grade six and below for parents that needed them so you're right we were ahead of the curve and things have worked out very very well thank you my last two questions um i see the salary is to be determined for the treasure of school money will that come back to the board for us to vote on that contract if that's negotiated yes we will when that's negotiated we will do a separate resolution for that okay and then my last question on
021page 19. there's a generic but i what looks generic to me reselect resolution recommended by the superintendent of schools to approve the agreement between oh no that's not it i'm sorry it's the next one on page 20. uh intends to renew a war to permit expired contracts previously awarded by the board of education like that seems so generic to me that i don't understand what i'm voting on on that one 20. that's that's a standard uh template we get from the uh the state that's been on there's never seen it before yeah what does that actually mean what are we voting on because it's intense to renew a war to permit to expire the contracts previously awarded by the board of education is that any contract that's ever been awarded by the board of education
022that's expired well i don't understand how i understand it is we have some contracts that are in year one year two or year three so you're allowed to put a kind of a generic you know started on april 1st uh 2018 for the next 60 months uh so you don't have to put each and every year that you're approving it for 2021 and next year you're improving it for 21.22 and next year you're improving it for 22.23 but like i said contracts with vendors is it for contracts with staff i mean who is it with contracts with these how i understand it dr pantaliano is uh for the reorganization is specific to contractors and vendors okay so so because i'm gonna vote based upon what you're telling me so i want it in the record
023when i am voting on this particular resolution i'm voting on contracts with out-of-district vendors i guess all vendors are out of district yeah i think that's a fair uh it's a fair share like i said it's templated language that it's always been uh communicated to me that we need to include in the back of our reorganization document okay because it just seems like expired contracts previously awarded by the board could really cover almost anything including you know employee vendors anything yeah and i think they do that you're probably right they probably do that on purpose it's very broad i like i said it's templated language that like i said when i first came here said to put in the back of the uh the final it's a the final page of the reorganization document okay
024just to fair point though i'm with you it's very it's very legalese yeah it's it's you know listen i i would love to be voting on certain appointment contracts i want to put that out there but it shouldn't be in this resolution written this vaguely yeah yeah like i said i don't write the template that's just given to me to put into the document so it's for vendors correct contractors vendors thank you yep you're welcome mr alfano i don't see any uh questions from the public um on this particular agenda so i guess you could call for a vote if there's no other questions from the board i'll make a motion to approve the reorganization uh agenda okay uh that was uh mr capanna was first it was that mr russo was second or shelley
025or mr shelly we'll call ty goes to the runner okay i'll take it i'll take a uh i'll take a vote mrs breyo oh sure i yes sorry okay okay judy okay uh mr cappano yes mrs fredo yes mr garcia mr garcia guys i'm sorry my michael no no no word mr raincourt yeah russo yes mr shelley yes mr tarabakia yes okay i'm sorry did you call me and i missed it i apologize i apologize i missed you doctor i didn't know if i i missed it or something i mean i don't have to vote if you don't want me to my booboo doctor okay but i i i did ask questions but i will vote yes okay very good thank you you can always catch me offline also dr franklin any time okay thank
026you for that so we'll we'll close this portion of the reorganization and then we'll mr romagino will open up the consent agenda portion of the meeting okay so we're closed do we have to take a motion on that or no okay very good so um before we uh or before i look at the consent agenda for tonight there are a couple of items i would just like to review with the board and the public um i do want to thank the community for passing this school budget this year uh this was a unique year where we had a write-in vote but uh passing the budget is very very important uh it supports uh all of our programs within our district and uh the support that we've had over the years for our budgets have allowed
027us as dr pantaliano said before stay ahead of the curve with chromebooks and other i and other programs and equipment that we purchased for the our students so i want to thank the public for their support um i want to make mention that we've been um uh providing a grab and go lunch every day for our free and reduced students at school number three that's been ongoing for the past nine weeks uh we've been averaging about a thousand to eleven hundred uh breakfast slash lunch combos daily i do wanna uh thank pontonian who's the company that uh does our cafeteria service and cat scatter who's our director at the high school has been really doing a fantastic job with our staff so i do want to thank kat and the staff and uh we are
028going to continue through the rest of the school year and more than likely uh we are working with the borough and the state to probably provide uh grab-and-go lunches um through july at least uh am i correct with that mr alfano yes mr romajo we haven't got a definitive date or direction but right now it looks as if at minimum we'll be providing the grab and go breakfast cold breakfast and lunch for the month of july okay thank you very much mr roman gino yes i would like to recognize i'm not sure of her last name the school 3 pto person allison every day when the grab-and-go lunches are being distributed she does an instagram live uh report and she is amazing she's very informative she does a wonderful job i i wish i could
029speak as long and as clearly without boring people as she does it's an amazing job she does i don't know her last name but she doesn't know allison connor thank you uh as i say she does a great job thank you i i echo mr shelley i agree with you i watch your reputation um okay very good um i do want to make mention um right now we are i'm working with the principals uh you know when we left school on march uh 13th many students still had personal items in their desks in their lockers and they haven't obviously returned to school so uh first and foremost we're working on a plan where our eighth graders who will be leaving school six and our 12th graders will be graduating and leaving the district uh our
030first plan is to set up a guideline and a format for our eighth graders and twelfth graders to uh have an opportunity sometime in june to go into the school uh while they social distance uh and clean out their lockers um so once we finalize that plan uh mr bagner and mr pinto will share that with me and it'll be shared with the parents of our 8th and 12th grade students and i'll also share that with the board but that is that we've been we've been speaking about so we are working on that um our virtual learning program as i made mentioned a little while ago is running very well for our pre-k through 12 students as far as we know every student has access to either a home computer or a chromebook at home
031and uh students are engaged in uh google classrooms google meets and uh we're doing things outside the classroom also just this week or this past week we started an after virtual after school program um as dr pantalano mentioned we have a a program from the state for grades four through eight that's a funded program from the state uh and then we have a tuition program for pre-k through three so right now we are uh providing virtual programs for students uh a homework help from three to four and in richmond from four to five for students in grades four 8 who were previously signed up and we just started that recently so that's going very very well as is our overall virtual learning i'm also in the process of planning a virtual summer school because at
032this time we really don't have any definitive direction from the governor as far as what schools might look like in july or even september for that matter so we are planning a virtual summer school where we will be able to make accommodations for students uh in grades pre-k through five who are recommended to summer school and then we would also run a similar program uh in grades six seven and eight for students who might need to make up courses or need remediation in a particular area so that's in the planning stage right now if you remember i did recommend the number of staff members for our summer school at the last board meeting some of those recommendations will be rescinded because there will be some programs we will not be able to run but for
033the most part most of our summer school staff who were appointed will be working with us during this virtual program and once the program is in place um i will share more information about the details of it with the board parents should be contacted probably next week um if their child will be recommended for any summer school program uh we're also in the process of looking at uh an enrichment a virtual enrichment program normally every summer we run uh enrichment courses for students uh usually a week in july two weekend or two weeks in august where we run science classes cooking classes robotics things like that and we are going to run a virtual program similar to that and offer to parents and students and that brochure is in the process of being typed up
034and uh once it's uh finalized i'll be sharing that information with our parents and with the board um still talking about virtual things so virtual graduation right now uh we have we have a committee for our eighth grade graduation and we have a committee for our 12th grade graduation i know dr pantaliano is serving on uh the eighth grade and uh mrs fredo was serving on the 12th grade graduation we also have teachers parents and students on that committee right now we are planning for a virtual uh program unless something changes i know the last couple of days the governor has made some comments about the possibility of a graduation uh not not many details um not even stating when this might occur so we are moving ahead with a virtual uh graduation and right
035now we are looking at uh the following tentative dates uh june 29th uh which is a monday will be our eighth grade graduation and tuesday june 30th will be our high school graduation these will be virtual graduations that will be pre-recorded um students will be involved in their caps and gowns uh pictures of parents and so on and so forth a number of things that are in the planning stage right now i'll stop here for a second mrs fredo dr pantaliano you were on the committees i don't know if there's anything you would like to add to what i've already uh discussed no just i know today we spoke with mr pinto and the group okay um he was talking about possibly having the students coming to the school but just with their parents right
036take the photo right and that at that point they'll be handed their diploma i think that's what he was thinking of doing and if the weather isn't good um he did say he can set something up inside but it wouldn't be many people okay i i would like to uh to thank you for letting me to serve on the middle school committee i think our meetings have been very productive and we talked about something very similar as what mrs fredo said the high school was doing to assign individual 8th graders times to come to the school be outside but actually receive their diploma or their diploma jacket on the table socially distanced of course without you know touching anyone but allow them to have their photo taken on the school grounds in their robes uh
037with their diploma and those photos would be used later for the virtual graduation so you know we want to keep it as close to the actual graduation ceremony as possible obviously having to insert photos when the students would be uh you know live as when they're walking in or their recessional or when they're actually called for their diploma but you know i'm sure i echo the sentiments of everyone in saying that uh you know if governor murphy allows any way to do something live as we know you know you can be in a supermarket and be uh socially distant six feet apart and walk up to a cash register so i guess a lot of parents have the hope that you know even if there's no audience the students would be allowed to walk someplace
038whether it be on a field or on anderson avenue or wherever in their robe six feet apart just to be recognized with some kind of normalcy so you know that is the hope and i'm very pleased with the dates of graduation june 29th and 30th because i feel that they're far enough out that if there is some kind of a reversal or you know if if uh things go well in the staged opening that that possibly that can happen that's of course always the hope of the committee but thank you very much sure mr romagino yes i'd like to point out that uh the two seniors on the high school committee understood obviously they're disappointed that they can't do what has been done for over 100 years but they understand the situation and they also
039are very pleased with what the plans are at this point so it was nice to hear that the students as well on the high school side were happy about what we were able to do or plan to do yeah and uh i've also received uh some emails from parents regarding the eighth grade dinner dance that we normally would have the first week of june of course the prom and project graduation are things that we can't have and uh we're just leaving uh leaving it open in terms of uh if we can't have an eighth grade graduate an eighth grade dinner later on even if it's in the early fall for students we can plan something like that and uh mr pinto has had some conversations with some of the students uh whether we call it
040a pa a prom or whatever whatever the event might be called if we could do something in the fall or were allowed to gather and students want it then would be more than happy to uh organize something like that so they don't miss out on some of those important events okay as a mom i'm very appreciative of the fact that you are uh leaving those open leaving those possibilities open because i think those are very important social gatherings for students and and they remember them for the rest of their lives so thank you for leaving those possibilities open for them sure okay um okay so i want to move on to just uh two more items real quick before we look at the consent agenda um i just want to make mention um to the
041community that we are still accepting registrations for september for pre-k students and new kindergarten students to the district so if we have any parents out there or you know of any parents who have a new kindergarten student they can contact my office and they can register virtually uh until uh we're able to um actually do the registration in person but for now we will take registrations and they can be virtual and they can do that by calling my office uh just the last item you know each year uh we're obligated to do my evaluation so for those board members who are not conflicted um i will send the reminder email out tomorrow but if you can go on to the school board's website and finish up my uh observation by the end of may so
042we can um finalize that in june uh thank you very much for that uh before i move on to the consent agenda and consent agenda any questions from the board on any items that we've just discussed i'd just like to give an update on the facilities and building and grounds uh carl and myself with the lou had a zoom meeting with the architects and engineers for the boiler replacement it was about last week it went very well uh they're starting to do work at the five school and two brand new boilers uh that went very well we've been fortunate where the lowest bidder was uh the gentleman that did the boiler at six school did some uh did the boilers at the the senior buildings also so he he's been around and everything looks like
043it's gonna go uh accordingly smooth we have some miscellaneous projects moving forward at number three school that weren't completed in september when the trailers went up uh lou is working with his team uh the custodians and some contractors and getting that work done and i know lou's been very busy communicating with carl and myself uh with a lot of summer projects going on and all the high school we have some vision possibly next year of the making some enhancements with the gym but i do want to report that the lou coordinated all the maintenance guys and they actually painted and still are painting at the gym and i popped in there the other day with my mask and everything and it looks great it looks great so uh kudos to the maintenance guys and uh
044that's pretty much it on my committee report okay mr kapano anyway i have a question first first i want to say thank you to mr capano for giving us that update on the facilities because i for one happen to hear that there's a possibility that the high school gym is gonna have a little bit more work uh in the future i have a couple of questions on the agenda i apologize in advance but i see one item on the agenda that when i was a non-tenured teacher i used to panic um to use a phrase governor murphy uses all the time there's a resolution that says uh recommended by the superintendent of schools to notify by letter all non-tenured teachers non-renewal of appointment it's on page five yes uh if you can add a little
045color to that does that mean every non-teacher is getting fired never to be seen again because when i was a non-tenured teacher and i used to see that i used to go home and panic and say you know do i have to start sending out my resume so if you could to quote governor murphy just give us a little color on what that means sure um let me do this let me um start at the beginning of the agenda and when i get to that i will respond to that thank you so much okay so um now uh refer to the consent agenda uh just for the um information for the public the consensus and the uh reorganization agenda are posted to our website uh so on page two uh under personnel uh we are
046making some uh transfers of staff members within the district for september um we are moving i'm just not going to go through every one but i'm going to point out just a couple of um a couple of of those transfers or wilkins who's our bilingual kindergarten teacher at number four school is going to be moving uh to number three school uh the reason for that transfer is that our bilingual first grade is currently at number three school so this way we will have both of our bilingual programs kindergarten and first grade both being housed at number three school uh we are moving some teachers um from part-time positions to full-time positions that have become available these are all based on recommendations from um the principals and uh and myself to the personnel committee and some
047other minor transfers um on page two uh we are hiring uh an additional speech language teacher uh for september that position has been open for a while uh we are hiring natalie nunes uh natalie will be a speech teacher with us um at the contracted salary of 53 140 with benefits uh she will begin the position in september uh i'm also happy to say that natalie is a graduate of cliffside park high school went through our system she'll be joining us uh this september as a speech teacher on page three we have uh two maternity leaves uh amy also was a teacher at school five um is out on a maternity leave and she will be returning december 7th and carol invento who is also a teacher at number five school uh will be taking
048a maternity leave early june will return september first uh bottom of page three we are appointing two additional special ed teachers to our virtual summer school program that's due to um enrollment increases in that program but um as i mentioned before uh there will be some uh staff members who will be sending um because of not being able to provide those programs uh page four uh glenn luciano who's our supervisor of transportation also serves as our district-wide integrated pest management coordinator that's a mandated position by the state and glenn oversees that he attends any necessary workshops and works with mr alfano on that um let me just see real quickly okay so on page five uh third resolution down uh by letter all non-tenure teachers and staff of non-renewal so that's a formality uh that
049we go through each year um the state guidelines are that non-tenure teachers should be uh notified prior to may 15th we did send letters out um and dr pangliano you're right um sometimes that does cause a little bit of uh nervousness amongst our staff but uh the principles do speak to the majority of the non-tenure teachers letting them know that it's a formality and that they will be reappointed along with our tenured staff in june custodial calendar we are approving for the 2021 school year uh gia will send that out tomorrow uh there are 16 holidays on that calendar um that we do each year uh page six we're just approving uh summer school programs this is something that we are mandated to do each year uh all of the programs that are listed on
050page six the summer school programs are all as i mentioned virtual programs so we're anticipating that even though they're virtual we'll be able to offer all these programs and we notify the county uh that we are offering such programs buildings and grounds obviously there are none um finance uh before i ask you to look at finance uh mr alfano dr pingliano did i answer your question about the non-tenure yes he did thank you very much okay no problem uh mr fan of the finance part uh yeah thanks mr roman gina we're working on our uh if we get towards the end of the year our year end close understanding our hopefully our year-end surplus uh mr capano touched upon uh the two boiler projects were in the demolition stage for both number three and number
051five and mr roman gina you touched upon food service with our tomtonian vendor again over a thousand grab and go breakfast and lunches per day and there's a very good chance we're going to continue this grab-and-go in the summer and we are renewing uh pomptonian for the 2021 school year that is a resolution on this agenda that's pretty much it mr roman gina okay thank you very much any questions um from any of the board members on the consent agenda uh before i take a motion to accept that i'm just looking at some of the questions from the public there are no specific questions from the public about the consent agenda uh there is a question about what is the graduation plan for eighth grade and the date and i think i answered that before
052in my discussion that it's june 29th tentatively and it's going to be a virtual graduation and we will release the specifics of that graduation uh once that plan is formalized there's also a question uh that i don't think should be directed to the board of ed uh is there still soccer recreation so i think if the person that asked that question is uh viewing this event right now you can call the cliffside park rec department tomorrow and uh they will they may be better able to answer that particular question other than that i don't see any other questions from the public so at this time i'll call for a motion to accept the consent agenda i'll make a multi-concept that was uh number one was mr garcia yes second was mr raincourt okay okay thank
