001All right.

In accordance with the provisions of the act, the East Rutherford Board of Education has caused notice of this meeting by having the date, time, and place thereof provided to the record and South Bergenite newspapers to have published and posted in the vestibule of the Burrow Hall and public library. Copies of agendas are available 48 hours prior to said meetings in the board of education office and are posted on the East Rutherford School website, www.br e rb.net. Uh please stand for the flag salute
002and remain standing for a moment of silence for our police department, fire department, first responders, and our armed forces. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. You may be seated. >> Roll call. >> Miss Caruso >> here. >> Miss Collie >> here. >> Miss Mena >> here. >> Mr. Sanders >> here. >> Miss Shmley >> here. >> Mr. Banker >> here. >> And Miss Laruso >> here. Fire exits are located to the front and out to your left. Uh we'll start with committee reports. Uh school and business administrator, Mr. Verra. >> Thank you, Madam President. Good evening, everyone. Starting off with my report with the buildings and grounds report from our
003supervisor of buildings and grounds transportation, Mr. Apatani. First off, we are starting off with custodial. We do have a new nighttime custodian, Mr. Hector Mateo, who replaced uh Mr. Damp at McKenzie School. Uh Mr. Matteo has received training from uh various people within the district uh our two maintenance people. He has demonstrated strong initiative and is on track to becoming a highly capable member of the custodial staff at Lincoln and FA schools. Custodial teams have maintain established cleaning protocols with no reported concerns since the beginning of the academic year. maintenance. Despite significant scheduling challenges during the summer months, including staff vacations, extended absences, and unanticipated leave, the maintenance team performed exceptionally well, successfully completed over 97% of documented work orders within operation hero. This figure does not account for emergency calls and daily service requests
004that have not yet been formally entered into the system. Their dedication ensure the timely completion of critical maintenance tasks during a demanding period. Transportation. Uh after a few interviews, we are hiring a part-time bus aid, Miss Deni George. She has been selected and scheduled to begin at the end of September. Uh we are still recruiting for another bus driver. Uh remains though no applications have been received to date. The opening two weeks of school of school transportation operations have been notably smooth with fewer issues reported than in prior years. One current bur bus aid is also serving as a lunch aid for both Lincoln and FA schools. In addition, a new lunch aid has been hired from McKenzie School pending fingerprint clearance and is expected to begin at the end of September. These staff and
005enhancements will continue to strengthen the transportation department with the addition of a bus driver remaining a priority. And in summary, overall district operations have begun the academic year in a strong position. Custodial teams are performing effectively. The maintenance department has achieved a high rate of completed work orders despite staffing challenges and transportation services have operated with minimal disruption. With the addition of a newly hired staff staff members and continued focus on filling remaining vacancies, the district is well prepared to support students and staff in the year ahead. Uh there is no report for Mashios that is as it is in August. I will have a September report next month. Resolutions physical facilities PF1 is the approval of the monthly facility calendar for October 2025. PF2 and PF3. These are a busing services agreement. Uh the
006first one is between Carlstat Board of Education and the East Rotherford Board of Education for the 2526 school year. And PF3 similar agreement, but this is between Carlstat East Rutherford, which is otherwise known as Beckton High School, and the East Rutherford Board of Education for the 2526 school year. F1, approval of payroll for August 2025. F2, approval of tuition extraordinary services contract and agreements for the 2526 school year. F3, we are amending the resolution from April 25th, 2024. And the reason for that, I will tell you right now, is the the not to exceed amounts. So, we need to fix that uh ahead of time because we did go over the original not to exceed amount. So, we are fixing that for 2425 with KidClan. Uh F4, sorry, let me go back to my report.
007F4 is also with is the approval to amend the resolution again of kid plan. This is to increase the not to exceed amount. This doesn't mean that we are going to get to the not to exceed amount. This is really to protect the school district. So in case we this this prohibits me from having to come back to you and say let's amend it again. So we put a price. We don't anticipate we're going to get there, but it does protect the district and we don't have to come back and amend the original resolution. So, we try to keep it nice and clean. F5. Thank you, Mr. Sanders, for your support. It was the approval to decommission a and disposal of a kitchen equipment, specifically a freezer at McKenzie. It was beyond repair. So, we
008do have money. We did have some money in the excess uh cost. So, we had the funds there. So, glad to report that. F6 is the approval of professional services maximum amounts and that is for French and Pillo which are our environmental consultants and not to exceed $60,000. F7 is the approval of contracts and agreements and renewals. Uh this is for French and PRO. So one is to approve the services, the other one is to approve a contract or an agreements with French and Perilla. So it's two different ones. One is to approve their services. Another one is to approve the contract. F8 is the approval of the school physician services for the 2526 school year. Same doctor, Dr. Silhowski. We are not changing doctors. F9, this has to do with the preschool expansion uh
009aid grant or I should say education aid. Uh we are looking to transfer monies uh into the into the supply material line. We underestimated when we put the budget together and speaking with Dr. Lee, we had some very good conversations. I informed Mr. Scarfield the intentions on where to take that those funds and we should be okay for the remainder of the year. So, and this is something I will send to the county the executive uh county superintendent. I've been in conversations with him so he's expecting this. F10 and F11 are the financial reports for July 2025 and the transfer reports I'm going to be optimistic we hopefully we'll have August of 25 uh for the regular board meeting and then F12 this is to amend the resolution C5 for the transportation request from the
010Bureau of East Rutherford Recreation Department. I do apologize I didn't realize there was a fee there. We do not charge the recreation department for summer use. We do not charge them for the buses. So, we went back. Uh I didn't notice it. Jen Casper at the time didn't notice it. So, we do apologize. So, we are fixing that. We are not charging them. We didn't charge them last summer. We are not charging them this summer. And as long as I'm here, we will not charge them for the summer. Direct department. And I think that's about it. Yeah. Any discussion? >> I have a question. So, I know that I've brought up the busing before, but I think it's worth a conversation for the Carlat busing. I love that we have a very friendly relationship with
011our neighbors. I know that we co-share Beckton with them, but I want to emphasize that we need to do a cost analysis of what it actually costs us to bus them for field trips. So, drivers and gas and take that into account because at $200 I want to ensure that our taxpayers are not paying the the cost of their field trips. Um, so if we could do a cost analysis to see what the drivers what we're paying them at an hourly rate and how far they're going on average. So maybe like a mileage would be more realistic. I'm not I don't think that we should be profiting off them, but our cost should be covered. should not be the East Rutherford taxpayers that are footing the bill for that in my opinion. >> Fair enough.
012I mean, just to let you know, it's not off hours. So, it's not like we are paying our bus drivers extra money after hours. It's during the school. But I can get you a cost analysis. I can tell you the the way we came up with the figure was this. Madam President, you know that. Mr. Scarif, you know that we did it this way. How big is the tank? 50 gallons at the time. Diesel was about $4 a gallon. 50 times four was $200 and that's the the amount we keep charging them. Do they use up 50 gallons of gas on field trips? I don't think so. But I will certainly get you a cost analysis where they go, mileage, uh, all that other >> I want the cost to be fair. I obviously am
013not looking to prophetize the situation, but I also want to ensure that >> yeah, >> we're not losing money in the process for our district. >> Okay, fair enough. Yeah, >> just to piggyback off that, our it's not a we're not pulling a custodian. >> No. >> To drive. That's the just the bus driver. So, nobody is doing double duty. We're not losing a custodian in order to take them on a field trip. >> No. If it's one bus driver, we'll use our our bus drivers. But if they need two buses, then we pull a maintenance person, not a custodian. Because maintenance persons, maintenance personnel, they are floating around. As we know, our two maintenance people do drive the buses in the morning and afternoon. So, if it gets to the point that we need
014two buses, uh, unfortunately, our one full-time bus driver cannot do it because of his route, I should say, their route. But now that we have a second full-time driver, we will use her. we will use them exclusively but if there's a second bus we will go into we will go to the maintenance drivers not to the custodians. >> Okay. >> Can I ask a question about kids plan is that so I know like we have in-house speech therapy like on our payroll correct so is this >> this is just overflow if it's needed and then is that the same for OT is that all >> if I'm not have any on staff here >> if I'm not mistaken this is for out of district >> for out of district. Okay, perfect. Thank you. >> Yeah.
015>> Any other discussion? Okay. Thank you, Mr. Verace. >> Welcome, Madam President. >> Uh, interim superintendence report. Mr. Scarifield. >> Good evening, everyone. If I'm stumbling at home through the agenda, I'll have the training wheels off by next week because you're uh teaching an old dog new tricks here. But I'm getting there. I think I got it. Um again, um I just want to report to the uh public, to the board. We had a really fantastic opening of schools. There were marrying smiles. It was positive vibe in all three schools. I did make it there every day. I met a lot of staff individually introduced myself to them. I thought that was the least I can do. So they put a name with a face. Um, but we did have a very good opening opening
016day. I met people. If you're going to quiz me on names, give me till like midocctober, maybe mid November. But I'm getting there. So, and I always tell them they could tell me anything because I probably won't know who told me anyway. So, okay. All the schools have completed the mandatory fire and safety drills for September. I think the only outstanding security drill is McKenzie. Not 100% sure, but it takes a little extra to get the little guys uh off the ground, but they'll be done by next week. Back to school nights at both Lincoln and FA were very well attended, very positive, good vibe. Again, as I say, uh I have initiated weekly administrative updates via Zoom with the principal, supervisor, buildings, and grounds, student services, and the BA. Gives us the ability to
017touch base with the administrators and keep all the information current. This uh I know in the past they were meeting monthly. Some of the meetings were quite lengthy. We're doing this in about 30 minutes on a Monday morning. So, it's fresh beginning of the week. Uh whether I'm in district or not, we have them. And it just gets me to touch base and everybody knows what's going on in all the schools and there should be no uh tripping on anything. We know anything you need uh for the uh for the schools, the technology, it's all there and it's all fresh information. So, it's working well. Um you guys should be re u the board you should be receiving my weekly updates on weeks that we do not meet. Uh keeps you in the loop on
018information and it keeps the information current so when we come here should be no surprises. Um I let you know everything and this way we can have that discussion when you come here if you have questions and we appreciate asking questions in advance. makes it a lot easier because the last thing I like to do is say I'll get back to you because the public then doesn't know what we said. Uh so I would prefer to keep it that way if we can. I mean certain things come up I understand. Um sometimes you do win and you stump the superintendent happens but um not often. Um again uh prek expansion. Dr. Lee and I uh have met with Kitty Academy on Union Street in Rutherford. My belief that we can house four classes in there
019next year. The flying ointment right now is our um waiting list is a little antiquated because it's got three and four year olds on it. The four-year-olds won't be in preschool next year. So, we're going to try to figure out a way between now and midocctober to get a call out for people that have current two-year-olds that'll be three next year. Current three-year-olds that'll be four. that'll be determined the number we use on the application to uh set up classrooms. One of Dr. Lee's um uh things that she's worried about is that we overestimate and then we commit to classrooms and then we can't fill them. I don't think that'll happen, but I'd rather get the waiting list going and I'd rather get as many as we can. Let me just tell you a little
020bit about Kitty Academy. Right now, they have an additional location down in Eatontown. They currently house two um classrooms for pea for Eatontown and one for less west long branch. So they are wellversed in how to do this which is good. Um after if we decide that we're going to go do this, I will set up a um a facility tour for any interested board members because I'd like you to see what we're getting into. But it's a really nice facility. Uh the space seems adequate. The state also when I inquired with them they said to me that they will be working on the limitations most districts have with size because originally they want the 950 square feet. Many of the the rooms that we are interested in there are right now 75 um feet
021of usable space plus a bathroom. So, I think it fits the adequate number, but if it doesn't, they're talking about lowering the um the actual square footage, but upping the square footage per child still would get us 15 in a classroom. And I know the ultimate goal for the board is to try to free up the two classrooms in uh McKenzie so we could get music and art back where they belong. So, that's what we're striving to do. So, just so you know, um we're working diligently on that. Um, I sent letters to families that were forgiven lunch balances last year and who run up a tab again this year. Um, so I'm going to try to nip them in the bud. I sent out eight letters yesterday. A pretty strong letter, but you know,
022they know I'm watching. I gave them till September 27th. If they do not conform, then they get the phone call from me. So, uh, I'm going to really be aggressive with it because you guys were reasonable enough to take care of it. We're not It's not happening again. Just not. Um the curriculum op opt out very much a work in progress. Weekly I meet with uh there are about 20 superintendents on a call that I used to be on when I was in Little Ferry. I got back in and um I had about 12 of them this week and out of the 12 three of them heard of this. So it is pretty scary and when you talk to the state they doesn't you're not getting any information. So we've briefed our principles here. Um,
023realistically, we're we're going to talk to the teachers about when you're lesson planning. Just be uh, you know, cognizant of what's in there. Let us know so then we can, you know, let everyone know what we're doing. And in the meantime, we'll be working on alternate um, educational opportunities during that time. We'll see how it all plays out. Uh, hopefully it just doesn't become a bear, but we're prepared to do what we have to do with this. Um, let's see. All right. this you also have on the agenda access for the WEDA report. Um I went through it uh that that's the um ESL uh test that we took last year. You we did pretty well. I mean again kids that have been here kindergarten kids did pretty well testing out right away which is
024pretty par for the course. Uh we have kids that might have been late arrivals that are still struggling a little bit but they're not too far off. I think we're doing a really good job in that area. So, I'm confident that uh we're on the right track. Um you'll see S1, the approval of uh fire and emergency drill report, which I did report before. Um approval of the enrollment report. I think you have 783. The number I always heard in here was about 780. So, you're fluctuating between that number. I would expect that if we get full uh preschool in full operation, you'll see that number uh intensify and balloon up. Um, speaking of prek, I already did contact the state. I was trying to see if we can get additional classrooms for this year
025because they're able to house us down there, but the state told us that if we were to do this, it, you know, it's a big undertaking and they're not funding it. So, we'll make sure we get it together. Um, there are no harassment, imit uh intimidation, and bullying for this month. So, we're on a good good roll with that. We want to keep that going. Um, the new one that you may not have saw uh on your agenda is approval of the emergency evacuation drill report for that that was just added. Um, the week of respect is coming uh the week of October 6 through the 10th. Uh, and that's also school violence awareness week. Um, so we're uh prepared to have all activities for that. uh approval of uh busing services I mean the
026uh nursing services plan. Normally we would have got that on before the agenda but it goes to the doctor first and we were waiting for the signature which they gave us back yesterday. So it's on there and it's all uh up to speed. Um we did uh put in the approval for extended school year next year just where we locked the dates in. So, gives us a lot of time to prepare and we know that we're going to be doing it between I think it's July 6th and the 31st. The thing that always throws the fly in the ointment is when um Fourth of July falls. And you know, we're mandated by the number of days. So, we want to lock that in now so we don't forget it and it doesn't get lost in
027the shuffle anywhere. Um again, we have you'll see approval for uh student field trips. I believe there's one at this time. And then uh the personnel items, we approve uh Kelly's substitute list which is pretty extensive as I tell you. One of the things is we have a lot of vacancies out there uh with par profofessionals especially. So I'm going to work with the BA on re um replenishing the subline from the salary line because that's really where they're coming. They really they would have be getting paid from the salary line if they were regular um paraprofessionals. So there's no reason why we cannot move that back. So it doesn't look as, you know, egregious as you might think. It's it's not that we have a lot of teachers out. We just have some vacancies
028that we have to fill. So we want to make sure that we uh appropriate that correctly. Um the approval of travel expenditures. I believe there was an additional one or two on there. Um accept the acceptance of a resignation of I guess I think she's an aid. I'm not 100% sure. I should I'm supposed to know that. I don't admit it. approval of uh leaves is on and approval of this this I don't know who this guy is interim superintendent of schools contract that's on the agenda we got to get it up to the county for approval so I just wanted to make that uh clear and then the community relations part is approval of the second reading of new and revised bylaws and policies for the district and there are no new business on
029the technology report um that's all I have at this time. Does anyone have any questions? >> No, I just wanted to say thank you because I love the update. I just want to point out if any parents are home listening and curious because I know the prek has been everyone's very in tune. They're all excited about it. The additional rooms that we'll be getting to move them out of McKenzie, that's for next next school year. Just to clarify for everybody, we can't do it this year because the state funding does not apply. So that would be for next year with the intention of getting our art and music rooms back. >> That's the intent. Okay. >> I heard you loud and clear and I think it's the right thing and I don't see why we
030can't. And again, if we even if we were able to start this year, I don't think it would have been easy to pull people out of a school into a thing. So they'll know next year. They have even offered to do an open house for the parents. They're very accommodating. They're well verssed in the preschool expansion aid, which is fantastic. It's something that we really uh need to to do and uh I I think it's good. I think they're a really good partner. Again, having experience in this, it's difficult. So, they know the drill. They know what they have to do. They know the paperwork. So, it's going to help us a lot. They'll be very helpful. >> This is maybe you don't know the answer, which is fine. Maybe you know there what number
031of rooms do we have to increase next year or is it just at the end of the five years? >> It's the end of the five. Is that just at the end of the >> It's the end of the five, but every year you should be showing some kind of increase. But you guys, I think you're a little ahead now because you're only in year two and you have four classrooms. I think what we estimated Dr. Leah told me was like 10 classrooms by the end >> the end of >> by the end of the fifth year. So I think if we can add four and you you're up. We did two out and you'll have I guess what do you have there now? Four. >> So you'll have two in, >> four out, you'll
032be up to six. And you know, if I get bigger numbers, I'm not I'm not afraid. I'm aggressive. I'm not afraid to do it because other districts, especially Carlat has pea, and since they're adept in bringing in another district, I don't want to I'm not one to share if I can get what we want. So, I want to try to get this going. So, um I'm I'm very uh optimistic that we're going to be okay with it. >> Quite welcome. >> Um I just wanted the um the lunch balances. >> Yes. and the lunches. I just want to make sure that the parents know that when you fill out that the free and reduced form, just because you fill it out, correct me if I'm wrong, just because you fill it out in September and
033maybe you get denied, but like if you fall on a hardship or some, you can fill out that form again >> At any time, right? So, in my letter, I explained to them that you you've had it. You had a I even told them the amount we forgave and how much you owe already. And I told them, I would expect you to go in and fill out the form and let's see what happens. If you fill out the form in September, you're qualify for back to September one. It would wipe out the balance. We'd get reimbured from the state. No harm done. So, I'm I'm pushing them for the 27th so I can follow up. It helps us if we have all of them in by the 15th of October because that's our student count
034and that has to do with um any kind of extra aid we would get from the federal government and things like that. So, you know, I'm pretty aggressive with that. I know that they told me that we have over 500 applications in my understanding. So, you know, we're going to keep moving and and the balances only eight letters I sent out. The highest number was like 30 bucks. So, okay. >> But but it's 30 bucks September 17th, 18th. It's a lot. So, I want to make sure we're on top of it. So, we're getting there. >> Okay. >> Thought if I sent the letter, it' have a little more teeth. So, >> um any other discussion? >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Scarfield. >> Okay. Um, so there are no at this time there's no correspondence
035to the board. Um, next week's meeting we're going to adopt the prior board meeting minutes. Um, let's see. Any old business? >> Yes. >> Uh, no it would be new business. Sorry. Go for it. >> Okay. any new business? >> Okay. Um, I attended part of the uh ice cream social which was held at McKenzie. It was very, very nice. They It was a great job. What I saw, there was a lot of people there, but I was at the tail end. So, I'm sure there was a bunch of people there prior to that, but there was still a lot of people there when I was there. So, it was it was nice. >> Nice. >> I have new business. >> New business. >> I have some new business for discussion I just want to
036bring to the board. um knowing that um there is really nobody with practical hands-on experience to do the prek grant and this is a pivotal year simply because now it's twofold. It's not only internal, it's external. So there's a lot of moving parts. Um I had given Dr. Lee a couple of leads on a couple of districts that have been doing this for a long time locally, namely BOD, who's been in this game for six years. Little Ferry, my previous district's been in it for three years. She's been in contact with both directors there to give them practical help. Um, I did send you in one of my reports a um proposal from it was the Beod um uh director who would help us on a on a basis, you know, as a consultant. The
037nice part about it is she would take us from October right through June and she'd work with us every step of the way. The critical pieces on that because I do know some nuances, not 100% verse, excuse me, is the fact that you got to get that that count right for next year so that you get fully funded. That's really the key piece. Plus, as you know or you don't know, we get allocated x amount of dollars per child. We then negotiate a fee with the provider, but we keep some because some of that tuition because we have to pay our um our master teacher and things like that. So, there are expenses we need to take off the top. And I think to get her that extra help and get somebody trained in district
038so you're not in the position you're in now where the person that did the grant in the previous years is not here. she'll know it and then she'll be able to turn key it. I did give you that information. So if you have any question and the money that is needed is in the grant. There is money in there for consulting. I did find it. I verified it with Alex. I think if anything it's like $200 short. So if if you're you know on to that I think it's a really good idea to do. I would it's basically a little handholding plus practical help with making this thing work. So I I leave that to you if you have any discussion. The next thing I have um is I'm looking now you know that we're
039working right now with uh more or less an acting um special student services person. We're interviewing the second round of interviews begins the 29th of the month. I'm going to move forward with that. Uh we have four finalists. We'll see where we go. But the big hole that I have that I'm concerned with is curriculum and um I have someone that retired recently like July out of Fair View. Um very well-versed young younger than me so that's good. So they're a little more vibrant probably but they're well verssed in curriculum. Plus the fact that she was also for uh she started out there as a lit as first grade teacher, a literacy coach. Um became the special service of the student services uh director, went to the uh special ed side for three years in
040the district and then closed the career out in U curriculum. So would probably be a help on all ends. Um I do have the resume. I'll pass that along. I don't need I really don't need an answer today, but I want to get it out there and on the ground so we can discuss. I think it's a good idea just so we have somebody and I'm talking two or three days a week. I think you're going to need somebody to um I don't think it'll be any new dollars because it would come out of the assistant superintendent line. Money's there. We're not paying that benefits. Um because you got me at the blue light special. Uh there's definitely money in my salary line. So you so I'm there's no new money. So I mean that
041that's really the key piece and it would be some expertise to help us to you know meet with teachers. Fact that she's a lit literacy coach got to help us also and it could just just another hand on deck. So I'm looking to try to get that I will pass you on that. Um >> that would be as a consultant. Well, I would say even like me as an interim just to come in and spend a couple of days a week here, two, three, whatever we need. I mean, you know, I I think it would help. I think it would be good. Um, and it it's just something that it would just fill that void. And at the point that we we get it to that point and then we can make the determination down
042the line, December, okay, what do you want to do with this position? This is how much we have. Uh, it would only be like if you started somebody in February, it's a half a year. I know we can cover it because again there'll be a lot of leftover in my line and there should be a good sum in the assistant superintendent line and then it gives Alex the opportunity to budget for next year. So that's what I'm looking at. >> Frank, this person would be able to start right away. >> Yes. Uh >> because you you're telling me they just left the >> they just left Fair View July 31. So they don't have to 30 days is over. Not a problem. In fact, that was the first question she asked me. I don't want
043to jeopardize my pension. >> Right. Exactly. Okay. >> We have to post for that job legally >> for an interim. >> Probably post. >> I'd post. Let's see if there's anybody else out there for sure. >> Yeah. >> You know, I I can't just I can't just hand. Listen, >> I got to tell you this. I know of her. If she walked through that door right now, I put an idea. So, >> I know her husband from Union City way back, but she worked in Fair View her whole career. I I might have met her two or three times.
