001Just so you know, um they're with a company, too. >> That's >> Good evening everyone. >> You don't have to have stuff. The executive session of the Wayne Board of Education regular meeting of November 13, 2025 was convened in the conference room of the Wayne Board of Education, 50 Nellis Drive, Wayne, New Jersey. Statement of compliance setting forth date, time, and location was read in accordance with the requirements of the Open Public Meetings Act, and a roll call was taken. This meeting was recessed and is now being reconvened. I'd ask everyone to please stand for the flag salute. I pledge algiance 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. >> Thank you everyone. Please be
002seated. >> Please hear now. Mr. Cudadino. Thank you, Mr. President. All right. So, I want to say good evening to everyone and it's nice to have such a a packed room. Um, we have our National Merit AP Scholars Recognition Program tonight and that brings as much excitement because it shows all the great work going on in our schools. Uh, I just want to remind everyone about a few about a I think it was August or the September meeting. We had a very concerned member of our public ask us about Veterans Day just to make sure that our district does not forget the importance of veterans and the role they play in our community and the role they've played in shaping our amazing nation. And I have to report to the board that Veterans Day is
003alive and well here in Wayne Township. Uh I myself, you know, I couldn't make it to all the events. There are so many events, but I know some of my board members did. And I was at Packinac School, uh Skyler Kfax, Tonius Dy, uh Randall Carter, Anthony Wayne, just to name a few. And what really struck struck me was the amount of veterans at these programs. It wasn't just students learning about the importance of Veterans Day and the role that our veterans play in our our country, but it was that many members of our community who are veterans took the time to be there and educating our students. And when people ask why do we have school on Veterans Day, that's the answer. Because having that be a day off, I don't think any I
004don't think 99% of the students that experienced those words from our veterans that day would have had that experience being home watching TV or uh going out maybe. You know, a lot of times with our great holidays, it's just become a an example for retail stores to put things on sale. Um but I always like to say patriotism will never be on sale or for sale uh in our schools. That was a wonderful day. Um, equally as important was the empathy that we show to taking care of one another as a community. Um, the pinkout events throughout throughout the district were amazing. I was able to attend again a great event, Scarlet Kfax. It also culminated with another wonderful day uh an event where they had a tricky tray u an Wayne ale house which
005was raised thousands and thousands of dollars for um families that are impacted by breast cancer. I was happy to be invited to the uh pregame dinner at the Wayne for the Wayne Hills football team uh prior to their amazing win against Pac PC Valley. Um, again, the community come together to support our students. But tonight, we uh we recognize our National Merit AP Scholars and College Board uh recognition students. For our audience and the council chambers and all the viewers at home, I'd like to start off uh telling you about our National Merit AP Scholars College Board Recognition Program by sharing more information about the different scholarship programs and recognition you'll hear tonight. This is a very important part of our program because it gives the community a sense of the recognition and its significance.
006The National Merit Scholar Program is an annual academic competition to recognize the student achievement and the annual undergraduate scholarships. It was established in 1955 and is open to all high school students who meet the participation requirements. Scholarship winners are chosen on the basis of their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. Most scholarships awarded through the national merit program are sponsored by approximately 400 corporate organizations and higher education institutions. Each year, educators in about 21,000 high schools provide the opportunity for their students to participate in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Typically, over 1.5 million students in about 21,000 high schools enter the National Merit Scholarship Program each year. Some 50,000 entrance qualify for program recognition, meaning that any students receiving recognition from this program are in the top 3% of all students entering into the program. Approximately 8,500
007students, outstanding students, receive scholarships for college undergraduate study. The total awarded scholarships is valued at $39 million. So, you might ask, what is a National Merit Scholarship Commended Student? In late September, more than twothirds, about 34,000 of the approximately 50,000 high school scores on the PSAT receive letters of commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Commended students are named based upon their nationally applied selection index score, so that they may and that may vary from year to year. Although commended students do not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarship scholarships, many of these students become candidates for special scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses. For the advanced placement and AP scholars, every fall, the AP program recognizes high school students who have demonstrated outstanding college level achievement through their performance in our multiple
008AP exams. AP Scholar Awards come in def different levels and types. To be an AP Scholar is granted to students who received a score of three or higher on three or more AP exams. AP Scholar with honor is granted to students who re have an average of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and scores of three or higher on four or more of those exams. AP Scholar with Distinction is granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of three or higher on five or more of those exams. So to sum it all up, I want to congratulate all of our students receiving this recognition and thank you for being such shining examples of the educational opportunities that we know we are way
009better at here in Wayne. Congratulations to all our families who've worked hard and who have done the helped you to support for your studies. Congratulations to our teachers, administrators for the contributions and helping to place you in a position where you can receive this recognition. It is a pleasure for the board of education, our administrative team, and the entire community to recognize you for your amazing academic achievements and for receiving one of the most significant academic awards that a high school student can achieve. So much congratulations to our students that are here tonight and I know we're gonna have an amazing meeting this evening. Thank you, >> Mr. Rook.

Uh Alan Tempescu, 41 Gibbs Drive. I've not been here in a while, uh but I wanted to come here today. About three weeks ago, I was attending a religious holiday at a temple when they were announcing names of Wayne residents who had passed away. Um, I was surprised and saddened to hear the name of a former
056board member, Gail Oaken, announced in the temple ceremony. So, I came home and searched the internet and saw the obituary from a few months ago that I had just read. I knew Gail Oaken because uh we had worked together briefly. I would like to recognize her now as a hard-working, kind, nice person. A former member of this board. A few years ago, I was asked by Dr. Tobac to be one of the three parents to serve on a committee to help him and Mr. Pavlac formulate a new school calendar for the holidays. and I worked alongside Gail Oaken on that committee for several meetings and I enjoyed the interactions. I did not know but read in her obituary that she was a teacher, a dean and held various positions at college. She was dedicated to
057her role. She prioritized the needs of the students and for the community and most importantly she was a really nice person who will be missed. So, thank you. >> Anyone else from the public wishing to speak? >> Seeing no one move to close. >> Mr. Favor, >> Mr. Janet said, any comments? >> Retirements. >> Oh. Oh, retirements. I'm sorry. Retirements. Mr. Alum. Today I recognize Margaret Adamo. After many years of dedicated service and education, Margaret Adomo was retiring from her role as a valued member of the Ryerson school community. Margaret began her career in September 2009 as a substitute power professional, receiving her initial training right here at Ryerson Elementary School. After several months, she took on a long-term assignment at George Washington Middle School and went on to serve at the high schools, middle
058schools, three elementary schools, and even the early childhood center for a brief time. In September 2012, Margaret officially began her first day as a full-time power professional. Throughout her years of service, Margaret has provided unwavering support, patience, and guidance to students and staff across the district. Her flexibility, strong work ethic, and caring nature have made her an invaluable part of every school community she has served. Now, in a fitting full circle moment, Margaret retired from Ryerson Elementary School, the very place where her journey began. in her dedication, education, and her lasting impact on the many students, families, and colleagues she has worked with will not be forgotten. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Margaret for her many contributions and wish her wonderful, well-deserved retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and new adventures. Anna Giuliano has been
059a cherished member of Wayne Public Schools community, beginning her journey as a lunch aid at Lafayette and later become a dedic dedicated classroom aid at JFK. Throughout her service, um Anna has been so much more than her title. She has been a source of warmth, creativity, and constant support for both students and staff. Her beautifully crafted bulletin boards have brightened the hallways and classrooms, turning everyday spaces into works of art that reflect her love for the school and her pride and the students accomplishments. Her thoughtful touches and artistic eye brought joy and inspiration to everyone who passed by, making JFK a little more special because of her. Anna's bond with the kindergarten teachers has been truly remarkable. to wherever they together they have created a nurturing and joyful environment where children felt loved, safe and
060encouraged to learn. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to give 100% every single day made her indispensable part of the team and a beloved figure among the young youngest learners. As Anna retires to Cape May to spend time with her family and welcome her first grandchild, she leaves behind not only fond memories but also a lasting legacy of creativity, compassion, and dedication. We wish her nothing but the best as she begins her well- earned joy and joyful new chapter. >> Thank you, Mr. Presto. Deborah Jambatista. We are here today to celebrate a major milestone, the retirement of Deborah Jambatista after 10 years of service. In the fast-paced world of technology, having a reliable and friendly anchor is absolutely essential. And that is exactly what Debbie has been for the te technology department. For a full decade,
061she has been the dedicated cornerstone of support, providing friendly guidance and ensuring that both administrators and staff can navigate the digital landscape with ease and confidence. But Debbie's commitment went far beyond her job description. Her true defining trait is her sheer willingness to help. No matter the task, whether it was fixing a printer jam, deciphering a complicated request, or tackling a project with the data team or technicians, both large or small, she was always the first person to offer assistance. That generosity of spirit made her an indispensable part of our team and a valued friend to everyone here. And who could forget her wonderful sense of humor? Debbie has an incredible knack for lightening the mood, turning potential frustration into a moment of shared laughter. She proved time and again that you can be incredibly
062dedicated while still making the office a brighter, more enjoyable place to be. Speaking of brighter, she often brings flowers from her garden beds to fill the office with beauty and for us all to enjoy. Now, as she closes this chapter, we know she has wonderful plans ahead. It's time to trade in spreadsheets for play bills and enjoy more cherished moments with her family. We hope her retirement is filled with many relaxing days by the pool, traveling at will, and countless trips to the Paper Mill Playhouse. A well-deserved reward for a decade of hard work. Debbie, thank you for your service, professionalism, unwavering kindness, and incredible sense of humor. We wish you a retirement filled with joy, health, and happiness. You will be missed. >> Thank you. Mr. Faber. >> Mary Aaliyah has been a dedicated
063par profofessional with the Wayne public schools for the past 13 years. Throughout her tenure, she has served as a one-on-one shared and classroom paraprofessional, bringing compassion, patience, and commitment to every role she has held. Mary has spent the majority of her career at Wayne Valley High School, where she has been a valued member of the school community. Mary consistently goes above and beyond to support her students, always putting forth 110% to ensure their success. She treats everyone, students and colleagues alike, with kindness, respect, and empathy. Her willing willingness to lend a helping hand, and her active involvement in afterchool activities have made a lasting impact on both staff and students. She has been instrumental in fostering student independence, recognizing and celebrating each individual's strengths and interests. Her dedication, warmth, and tireless work ethic have left
064an enduring mark on those she has supported. Thank you, Mary, for your unwavering commitment to education and to the students of Wayne Township Public Schools. You'll be greatly missed. We wish you all the best in your retirement. May it be filled with joy, relaxation, and cherished moments with family and friends. >> And to all our retirees, we thank you for your dedicated service to the children and to the district. >> Sin, any comments? Ju >> just two things. Um, I really want to commend and thank many members of our our staff. Um, as we were looking at a a federal shutdown and families were impacted by h uh SNAP benefits, a lot of our staff members from administration to teaching level uh reached out to my office or office around us to make sure that
065we can support the community. Um we put a information on our website on um rece where families can receive u from food banks that we're generously providing and we're working on we put together an event in which um we can give back to the community and help replenish uh some of the food banks that would definitely need the support um after this holiday. Um so we'll be looking to share that more information with the the board in the future. I do want to share that uh that this Saturday is the Turkey Trot at Wayne Hills. Starts at 9:00 a.m. It's a great event to come out over and you know get some exercise, spend some time together and uh support each other as we open the the Thanksgiving holiday. But uh the proceeds will uh
066support our unified sports program. uh our special needs students um gives them great opportunities to uh enjoy recreation and sport and uh it's a great event. So I look forward to seeing you there. >> Thank you. Any new business? Board member comments. Mr. Bacos, I just wanted to echo Mr. Cidadino and uh Mr. Pav your comments to all the scholars here tonight that we honored. Uh it was a beautiful showcase and uh you know if you're a parent of an eighth grade student, you know, this is what you get here at Wayne Hills and Wayne Valley. Um these students were had tremendous achievements. You know, well-rounded students that have done great on tests. So, um, but not only that, you heard very well-rounded students, tremendous achievements, and, you know, the future's very bright for them.
067So, as a taxpayer, I see this kind of showcase and celebration, and you know, despite me having four children in the district, um, you know, if I didn't have any children, I'd be like, my tax dollars are working, you know. So, uh, this is this is a excellent excellent showcase and, you know, congratulations to our community. This shows us this is why people come to the the Wayne school district and why people buy homes here in Wayne. Um, I was lucky enough to participate in a couple of the Veterans Day presentations. Um, I was off from from my job and I was able to attend the Randall Carter presentations. Um, then I was also able to go to the George Washington Veterans Day presentation. And you know, it's it's a really humbling experience to to
068be in the midst of all these heroes. Um, and you know, it's it's also a learning experience and not just for the students, not just for the staff, for myself. You know, I happened to be able to to speak to some of the veterans and um you know, one of the veterans said to me, "I'm so happy we're able to wear our uniforms." And I was like, "What do you mean you weren't able to?" He goes, "Yeah, you know," he reminded me, and I totally forgot about this. There was a time here in the United States, our veterans were not able to wear their uniforms out in public because of the anti-war protesters, he told me. He reminded me of that. So that was, you know, um, very great experience. And, you know, Mr. Faber's,
069uh, father-in-law is also a veteran. He's been there, uh, all the time I've seen him at at George Washington. So, uh, unfortunately, we can't attend all the presentations. So, um, there were some conflict, it conflicted time, so we had to divide and conquer, but as uh, Mr. Citadino said, we were all um, able to to make some presence there. um wanted to point out something that was a recurring theme that or complaint that people were throwing out there during our uh referendum. You know, they were saying, "Oh, all these years, you know, they never put any money aside for maintenance or maintenance maintenance." If you pick up today's agenda, which I know 99% of residents don't really read, but if you look at today's agenda, the November 13, 2025 regular meeting agenda, item 0.4, we
070approve the comprehensive maintenance plan, which is a requirement. So, every year there is maintenance in the in the budget. So, it's there 0.4. Take a look. That's that's what we can budget. We need to budget more but you know we don't have that money so you know we need a referendum. Um also wanted to mention uh you know the holidays are coming up soon and uh holiday break is coming up soon uh for Christmas and and other holidays. So, right at school, uh we'll be having a winter camp, uh to be able to help some of the parents that have to work and can't um you know, parents and guardians that that won't be able to um take care of their children. So, there will be an additional option. Details will be coming out in
071a couple weeks. So, so there will be a winter camp during the holiday break for those uh uh families that need it. So, thank you, Mr. Paul. Yeah. Um, again, congratulations to all the merit scholars. You should all be very proud of yourselves. Um, and Barb, congratulations on your victory. Joe, congratulations on your victory. And Keith, looking forward to having you guys on the board and working with you. >> Mrs. Lumandry. >> Well, our scholars seem to have left, but nonetheless, wow. Just wow. how amazing um to think of all the hard work, all the support of their teachers and their families and um I just you look at them and you think to yourself, oh my goodness, the future is so incredibly bright. So that is amazing. Um, I also would um like to
072mention the uh Veterans Day celebration that we had here in Wayne in several of the schools and um so heartwarming and such a blessing to be around people who just appreciated being honored in in any way. Um they were just so grateful and their stories Yeah, their stories really touched my heart. a few times I had to like compose myself a little bit, you know, hearing about how proud they were to put on uniform and all the branches of our military and our armed forces. It just made me proud to be there and it reminded me of our American flag and the value of that flag and what it means. So, it's a great way to honor them for their sacrifice. And um Mr. Tempescu, thank you for bringing that uh that forward about Gail.
073didn't know about that and thank you for bringing that to my attention. Thank you, >> Mr. Dan. >> Thank you. Um, this is a unfortunately a bittersweet day for me. I was not expecting this. But first, I want to uh go with the positives. Congratulations to all of the uh AP Scholars and the Merit Scholar Award winners. It it shows you how fantastic this district is. Congratulations to those who support them. um they're not going to be able to get as far as they do without you. So, our hats tip off to you. I always kid around every year. I always feel like a slacker slacker when I these kids come up and who's premed and who's going to a school that I couldn't even, you know, write the name on a piece of paper
074to get into it and doing things that I'll never be able to do because they're just so much smarter than I am. And uh even Mr. Pavoc was talking a moment ago was just we just shake our heads every year at the incredible um the incredible accomplishments and the best of luck to them in the future and they're one of the reasons that makes this country such a great country. Uh Mr. Landry, you beat me to the punch, but uh Mr. Tom Pescu, I want to thank you for uh mentioning Gail. I was the person who replaced Scale on the board of ed seven years ago and I only met her very briefly, but the words class were just etched into her being. She's a very intelligent, very classy person. I came up and said,
075"I'm sorry I beat you." And she's like, "Don't worry about it. It's wasn't meant to be. It's okay." And I've been able to serve for two terms because of uh of that situation. Um I was riding high coming down here. uh we're taking care of our board business, you know, who's got needs money and looking at people who are doing their jobs, looking at people who are not doing their jobs, getting very very uh um involved in the everyday board stuff. And every once in a while, God comes down and kicks me right in the shin and says, "There's something important you need to look at." And on my way down to this meeting, because we meet up at the board and come down here, I had received the text, a gentleman that I had
076known for 45 years uh passed away yesterday, which is bad enough, but the true tragedy of it is he passed away by his own hand. And I've been looking at the dozens of friends I've known him, again, 45 years I've known this gentleman, uh, a kind soul, and we all said the same thing. Um, could we have done something or wish he had said something? I wish he could have told us we had a problem or he's having a good day or he's having a bad day. I apologize because I'm on the phone right now and people say you shouldn't be on the phone. But what I have here is my favorite to him. His name was Manny Campos. So, he grew up in Carney together. Uh, we used to call him Manny Moose. He
077threw darts. I played with him since I was in junior high school. a terrific 5'4 and 130 lbs of blazing terror the way he was. Um, none of us knew this was coming. None of us knew this was happening. So, in the name of Manny, I'm asking all of you who are watching this, who are up here, who are in the audience, if something is bothering you, for the love of God, say something. We have a New Jersey suicide prevention hotline. It's um call 988. And if you have your text, text 988. Somebody will talk to you. You matter. And anybody out there who needs to talk to somebody, I'm right here and I'm always here and I think almost everybody in this room is. So please, please, for the love of God, say something.
078Thank you. Mr. Juden, on behalf of the entire board, we express our condolences to you and to your friend. >> Thank you. >> Um, I'm just going to leave it at that. Uh, motion to adjurnn, Mr. Mr. Jano. Thank you everybody.
