001[Music] Hello. Good evening everybody. Welcome to tonight's board of education meeting. We've called our meeting to order in our earlier closed executive session. So now we are ready to begin. Um, I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend for Memorial Day and was able to enjoy and also take a moment to reflect and honor our fallen heroes as well as those still currently serving. Um, Dr. Adal, do you have any comments at the beginning of this meeting? Uh, good evening everyone. Uh, before we recognize our student athletes, um, just want to make one announcement regarding the June 10th board meeting. Um, as you may know, on uh January 1st, Governor Murphy changed the primary uh which was originally on January June 3rd to June 10th. That put it directly in conflict with this space, which happens
002to be where u many of the voting districts in West Windsor vote. So, as a result of that, we're going to be moving our board meeting to High School South um because once uh elections get publicly noticed, the primary has to be in the exact location as the public general election. So, we'll be moving to High School South to Commons One and to the Playhouse uh for the district celebration and then we'll be in the Playhouse at South for the board meeting. Um so, again, that will be on the June 10th uh evening. Uh we'll have that up on the district website as well as uh as well as posted here at the board office. Um so, the the evening doesn't the date doesn't change, but the venue changes. So, we do have to just
003make that public announcement. And with that, I'll turn it back to the board president for the the public recognition. All right. Thanks, Dr. Adterhold. And next, we have a special recognition of our student athletes. So, I'd like to invite uh Kate Dobinson and Jeff Riley up um to make that presentation. [Applause] Well, first I want to say thank you for having us here this evening. Um it is a wonderful opportunity to highlight our athletes. Uh it's it was really a wonderful winter season at High School North. It wasn't just one team. It was on the track. It was in the pool. It was on the mat. It was on the court. It was everywhere possible. So all around we had a great winter season. And uh for me as an athletic director, what we really
004want to see is the whole school community come together. And was really wonderful was I was riding the fan bus to the uh championship basketball game and some two students were sitting next to me. I didn't really recognize them. And I said, "Hey, what made you come to this today?" And they said, "Well, about two games ago, we went to a high school basketball game and I had so much fun at it with my friends that I just kept going and every time there's a game, I just want to go watch because it's just so much fun to go there and be with my friends and be with the school and just draws a whole school community together." So, it was really uh it was a wonderful season like I said and it was a
005great moment as an athletic director to hear that for our students to come together as a community and be there and be together. So anyhow, we're here for recognition of our various champions from the winter season and some of our award recipients. And first I want to talk about some people that set some records in the pool. So I'm going to call up uh Akquil Pavaluri, Max Damonte, Will Bashore, and John Agliotti. Come on up. So alto together these four athletes uh set the school 200. Where's the other guys? All right. Well, they were half of the relay team that set the 200 medley relay and they uh Will was also the 400 free uh record setter for West Plains North. And like I said, they um 100 backstroke was Akquilo Pavaluri. 100 breaststroke was
006Max Damonte. And these guys took second in the sectionals. They took third at the CBC's. And we're going to really miss them next year because now they're going to go against each other. And hopefully I see them at the Lehigh Lafayette game next year because one guy's going to Lehi, one. Thank you. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Next, we have track and field. are record breakers for the 5,000 meter run. Uh most of our people here saw this person last time. You're going to see her again and again and again. Allison Lee. She ran a sub fiveminute mile at the the night of the nest last week. Allison, please come on up. She's a record setter in the 5,000 meters. You can stay up here. You don't You should be used to that by now. Uh

So, Zooie was one of them. Bri Davis Owens, Allison's another one, Vivian Ma, and Sarah Sakura. They all are national championship qualifiers. Congratulations. While setting those records and qualifying for national championships, they also won by no surprise the Colonial Valley Conference Championship during the winter. Not to spoil the surprise, but they did the same thing for the springtime and they recently the sectional champions as well in the springtime. Uh special guests tonight are part of that team because it was an overall team contribution. It wasn't just our four runners up here. Mahima Bansel, Bri Davis Owens, Zooie Chinchalker, Sarah Sakura, Vivian Ma, and Nina
008Dixit. And then the boys winter track and field team, uh, Shabomi Allison, he's a CBC and sectional champion, the 800 meters. [Applause] And then a grim jaw was a national qualifier for the 800 and600 meters for the ninth graders. Come on up. Great performance this winter, guys. And great job this spring, too. Thank you, boys basketball team. Come on up. So, our boys basketball team set the school record for 23 wins in a season. They were the Central Group Four runner up. Uh, it was a magical season where they're 23 and six. We have William Carter. Got to step forward when I call your name. William Carter. Arian Doden, Ryan John Baptist, Malachi Jeffers Vieiraa, Ronnet Jonasia, Lenny Mangold, Abby Singh, Jonathan Tang, Blake Amos Winfield, and Arv Mohan. During their season, all CBC honors
009were given to Ryan John Baptist and Malachi Jeffers Vieiraa. And I think for one of the first times ever in school history, the player of the year in the CBC went to Malachi Jeffers Vieiraa. Malachi had 557 points on the season, 242 rebounds, 107 assists, and he led the team in all three categories. It was a great winter season. Can't say thank you enough. Great job this season, guys. We have two coaches here that were named coach of the year for their uh respective sports. And first I want to call up Bill Furlong. Bill Furlong is also our head varsity football coach. Uh he has done a wonderful job with our wrestling team. His first year, this is his fourth year here. His first year they were two and 19 in dual meets and then
010they're 12 and 15, 14 and 14. This year 118. The past season he had five wrestlers that place in the county tournament. those same five wrestlers went on to wrestle in the regional tournament and he also hit a district champion this year. Um, Bill has done a great job in building this wrestling program and he told me something uh the other day that really, you know, hit upon the idea that he encompasses everybody in the workplace and he sees what good people do in this area and he pointed out that Brian Gold has a wonderful track program because the kids enjoy being there and he brings them in and makes every kid valued here, every student valued and he tries to do the same thing with his wrestling program. So, Bill is the recipient of
011the David Eisenhower Coach of the Year Award for the Colonial Valley Conference this year, Bill Furl. And then our other coach of the year for the CBC basketball, boys basketball, Luke Beasley. In Luke's first year, they're 2-8 and then he jumped to 4-19 and then in his third season, which he was also named coach of the year as well, he was 14 and 13. This year, like I said, he set a school record with 23 wins, six losses. He developed this group of seniors through countless hours of on the court work, in the wait room, and watching and evaluing endless hours of film. For the second season in a row, he has received the coach of the year award for the CBC. Congratulations, again. It was a wonderful season for us. Thank you for having
012us tonight. Appreciate it. Good evening everyone. Tonight I have the honor of recognizing several student athletes and a coach from West Windsor Plains for High School South. Uh before I do, I'd like to take a moment and thank all the members of the WWP board of education, members of the central office of administration, administrators, teachers, and coaches at High School South. Without your support, we would not have been able to do any of these things with our student athletes. All of the support that we get through busing, transportation, all of those, you know, um just constant support of finding out how our teams are doing, coming out to games means so much to myself, to Jeff, and to all of our student athletes and caregivers here tonight. So, thank you from the bottom of my
013heart. I would like to first acknowledge members of the girls indoor 4x4 team. So, please come up. Anastasia Cudin, Sariah Hoover, Adama Tay, and Claire Dortier. So deemed the f fantastic four by their coach Amaya Amamira Munire, these four student athletes have contributed much to the success of the indoor and spring pirate track and field team. They work hard at each practice trying to beat their previous time and never being satisfied with what they do. Their individual accolades include Adama Teré, first place at this year's CBC Long Jump Championship, top three in both the 200 meter and the 400 meter at CBC's, top six in the 400 meter sectionals. Anastasia Cudin, first place in the 400 meters at CBC, top six in the 200 meter at CBC, top six in the 400 meters at sectionals.
014Sariah Hoover, top six in the 500 meter hurdle at CBC's. Claire Dumier, top six in the 200 meter meters at CBC. Collectively, these girls came in first place at sectionals for the 4x 100, first place at CBC, and this past winter, they competed at New Balance Nationals, and not only did they break a school record, but they finished 25th in the nation and ninth in the state with a time of 35879. I had a chance to rewatch the race today and the commentary was phenomenal. They used the word consistency, they used the word hard work, they used the word grit, all of these different things that they did over the course of the the race and it is very welld deserved. Uh your hard work and dedication on the track is second to none. I'm
015proud of all of the work um that you put into your sport. Thank you for being such strong role models for future pirates to come. Thank [Applause] you. The next individual that I would like to recognize as 11th grader Julius Kinsler. Come on up, Julius. Coach Matt Coburn has described Julius as one of the hardest workers on the team. Julius is known for running to practice, competing his work, completing his workout, and then running home. He is always striving to be better than the day before. This past winter season, Julius finished second in the 400 meter and in the top six in the 200 meter at CBC and at the NJSIA sectional tournament, he finished first in the 400 meter. This winter he competed at the Adidas Nationals and came back to WWP as an
016all-American with a PR in the 400 as he placed fourth with a time of 4942. Julius is also having a strong spring and I'm sure he'll be back to be recognized with his spring achievements. Congratulations. The next group that I would like to recognize are members of the pirate boy swim program, specifically the medley relay. Gentlemen, come on up. So members of the team include Dash Kyv, Julian Fang, Carmemell Mayor, and Vicram Pal. This past season at meet of champions, and they set a new school record of 13659. The previous record was set in 2017 with a time of 13733. Congratulations on breaking that school record. Members of this team broke more than just this record this year. In January at CBC prelims, senior Carmel Mayor broke the previous record in the breaststroke of 5934
017by completing it in 58.88. And then again in March at meet of champs, he broke his own record and finished the season with a 5738 in the 100 yards breaststroke. Carmemell will be swimming at Pace University next uh year. Vicram Pal uh also broke a school record in addition to the medley relay and the 200 IM. The previous record was from 2011 with a time of 15752 and the new record currently stands at 15747. Julian Dosk and Vicram will all be returning next year to High School South and I'm excited to see what they do in the pool again. Thank you. The last individual that I would like to recognize is coach Jessica Bidwell. Jessica has been leading the pirate swim team since 2015. This past season, Coach Bidwell earned her 100th career career win
018for girls and 100th career win for boys, all in the same night, earning a record of 200 career wins. Coach Bidwell has led the team with grace and class, asking her students ath athletes for their best at each and every practice. Something that she just doesn't ask for, but gives of herself as well. She holds her student athletes accountable to not only her, but more importantly to themselves. Coach Bidwell will also be receiving the CBC coaches sportsmanship award on behalf of High School South. Coach Bidwell, it's been a pleasure working for you and I can't wait to see what next season brings. Congratulations. I'd like to reiterate what Jeff said earlier. Thank you for including our student athletes and our athletic programs in these events. This has been a great opportunity for us to highlight
019the different things that our student athletes do each and every day. Um, a few years ago a student asked me what my favorite time of the day was and I said three o'clock. And they said, "Oh, because you go home." And I said, "No, my day just starts at 3:00. I get to then go out to the field. I get to watch our student athletes in the pool, on the track, on the court, and all of the different places where they compete." Um, and it is a great honor to be able to do that. So, thank you. Thank you, Kate and Jeff, for your dedication and all you do for our schools. And, uh, amazing job to all of our athletes. Uh, we do enjoy hearing all the updates throughout the year. And, um, yeah.
020So, now I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Adherald for a quick announcement. Well, first let me just uh reiterate and thank all of our student athletes for being here this evening. Amazing accomplishments. Um I also want to thank all the parents and guardians for all all the work, the tireless work driving and supporting your your children. Um I have five myself, so I I understand all too well the the constant shuttling shuttling and driving around that you do to support them. So thank you for all your support to them. And there's a tremendous amount of coaches out there in the audience tonight. and uh we'd be remiss if we didn't just recognize the work that they do each and every day in support of our athletes but in building program and culture in
021our schools. So, thank you to all of our coaches that are in the audience this evening. Um the the one announcement was something we've been sort of waiting for. Um but that was something I would have said at the beginning. Um and it's just we actually just got a resignation on the board of education. Um we were expecting uh this to come in uh today. So I just actually got a text resignation. Uh Robin Zovich um member of the board of education from Plansboro um is going to be uh leaving the board for personal reasons. Uh she want to wish all the best uh to the administration, the board of education, the students in the community and uh she said she said it was an honor to serve with them or serve you over the
022last five almost five and a half years on the board of education. Um, from a process perspective, um, just want to let the community know that when there's a vacancy on the board of education, uh, there's a there's a board policy 0143.1, and yes, I knew that off the top of my head, um, that that, uh, talks about board vacancies and it requires us to fill fill a vacancy within 65 days. So, we'll post it tomorrow because it's after the workday. So, we'll post tomorrow on the district website and then from that posting um we will um we've already known this was coming. So, we we expect to have interviews by the June 24th meeting. So, anyone interested in running for the board will have a period of time that they can then uh put
023in and it's for the completion of this term. Her term ends uh in December 31st. So it would just be from uh from the time in which the board selects a candidate and that's at a public meeting uh where there's actual public interviews. Then the board will deliberate go through a process where they select someone. The person will be appointed pending fingerprint clearance which is just a requirement to serve on a board of education. There's a whole list of criteria that individuals will need to meet that will be posted on the public notice um as well. Then once they get cleared, then they can be officially sworn in by Dr. Russo. Um, and then they could be working as a member of the board from sometime in July through uh December 31st. If that individual
024wants to run for the board, because it's a vacant seat that starts with a new three-year term in January, they would then have to submit a separate application in July to run for the board. So, um, a lot of a lot of steps for public service, but but there are members of the community that I'm sure will be interested. Um, and we just wanted to make that public as soon as we knew it. Um, so, um, with that, I'll turn it back to the board president. Perfect. Thank you, Dr. Adterhold. So, that makes it official. And on a professional and personal note, um, we all really want to thank Robin for her dedication and service to WWP. Um she brought the fun, the joy and the practical perspective to all of our lively discussions. Um
025really respect her for she never held back on uh her thoughts and opinions and um um really value her thoughtful challenging questions. Um she is a wellrespected member of the board. Um we will miss you. We wish you the best and um yeah, you know where we are. So um with that we can move on to the first opportunity for public comments. The board invites thoughts and reactions on agenda items and items of concern from members of our community who are present. Each participant is asked to give his or her name and address prior to making a statement which will be limited to three minutes in accordance with board policy 0167. All statements shall be directed to the presiding officer. This public comment period shall be limited to 60 minutes. So, we'll open the floor

Just uh to the parents and members of the community that are here, if you're not intending to stay, we're not going to be offended if you get up and and go home.

Um so, now we can turn to our board of education committee reports and I'll ask Dana to give us a report on administration and facilities.

So we can close this opportunity for public comments. And uh next um I'll be reading this statement so we can recess into closed executive session. Whereas the open public meetings act authorizes boards of education to meet in executive session under certain circumstances. Whereas the open public public meetings act requires the board to adopt a resolution at a public meeting to go into private session.
