004the public. Good evening. I want to first thank all the board members for this wonderful opportunity to serve as superintendent of schools in West Milford. I'm honored and privileged to serve in this community and I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship. We've been busy the past couple weeks on I started two weeks ago and we've been interviewing for a lot of key positions and planning for the upcoming school year. We have a pretty full personnel agenda tonight and we'll likely have more people to hire throughout this meeting. As far as progress towards district goals, um we approved our goals in I guess it was May or June this year. So they've been posted on the website. They've been shared with the school community via my blog. uh we have our first administrative council
005meeting tomorrow where I will be discussing with the principles, department chairs uh our goals alignment. So in other words, how are we going to align the school goals or the department goals to the district goals? That'll be a primary topic of discussion for tomorrow. And I will have uh the action plan for achieving the district goals uh for the August meeting share with you all that. Thank you. Mr. Novak, education report, please. Thank you. Uh, I al I just want to take a moment to say welcome to Dr. Anamone. He mentioned he's been here two weeks. It's been a it's been a busy busy two weeks and I know we we feel like we've been working with him for months already. So, it's been a been a great fit and thank you for the board
006for for doing a good job. We're real happy. Um, I just want to give an update on some of the summer projects. I mentioned uh at the last board meeting, we had a couple uh different service summer committees that we've had in the past. One one uh such committee that I'd like to highlight is our work with our educational technology committee. Um last year, I'm sure you're aware, I I spoke almost at every meeting about our work in digital citizenship and um some of the work that we've done in that area. Um we had a committee meet um today. They're finishing up tomorrow where they are actually laying out the lessons that we're going to be putting in all of our grades K through 12. uh for the upcoming school year. So, they're they're really
007getting uh getting going on that. We give them some time in September to share that out in the buildings and and um and put our put our plan into place. We also had another component of our edtech committee uh meet where they developed a uh comprehensive website which is going to be our place to house all all things um educational technology where we're going to have our our mission statement and goals. We're going to have our uh lesson plans and parent resources for digital citizenship. We are going to have a place to highlight some of the um the great technology initiatives around the district including you know you know new and advancing technologies use of current technologies that sort of thing. Um and they they've done a really good job. Uh another group that's starting
008up um this week is the group was working on something called makerpace at the September board meeting. I'm going to present a little bit more in depth. I keep using that term and I find that when we run interviews sometimes people don't even candidates don't don't know what we're talking about. We use the term maker space. So I'm going to go in depth with um little definition about that. Some of the um districts that are out there. They're doing a really really good job. Just to summarize it, it's a it's a movement. Makerpace is a movement really really builds upon um STEM and steam initiatives around the nation and um tries to get America back to its manufacturing roots and and really teaches kids how to build and think and problem solve. So, a lot
009of hands-on stuff and our media specialist, we have Mrs. Neker in the crowd who who's part of that group. So, we're really excited they're going to be doing. Uh we had another group that that met. Uh we're calling them our our be here group. That one takes a little bit of a description. Um, be here is part of our code of conduct. So, be here, be safe, be honest, be respectful, uh, let go and move on, set goals. The the idea of be here is something that we are looking to expand upon in the district and really take um, you know, take the term of be here to a level of mindfulness where we're um, getting involved with our kids at an early level about mental preparation, about um, centering yourself when you return for
010recess and and really having some some focus time. Um, so that that group is meeting and and getting that conversation stationation underway. Uh, one one group that that I've been working with also is our uh district mentoring committee. Uh, we are going to be rolling out some some big revisions to our mentoring plan for new staff in September. Uh, we're really kind of getting back to getting back to basics in what we do. The last few years with the uh addition of achieve NJ legislation across the state, we've been focused a little too much in my opinion on uh the rubrics for the teacher evaluation and that sort of thing. And we we do a lot of that through our faculty meetings and through our professional development. The mentoring of new staff really needs to
011be, you know, how do you how do you communicate with parents? How do you um how do you how do you get ready for your back to school nights and and that sort of thing. So, we're really taking it back to basics. We're focusing on what we believe to be meaningful, and that has largely been led by by the staff who who've been part of it. We have a couple uh we've got a good range of of teachers on the committee who who range from veterans to uh people who've been around for two to three years, uh staff members who have experienced the the the old model of the mentoring plan as well as the new. So, we've got a good range of opinions and doing a great job with that. Um, that that ends
012my welcome back. Barbara, special reports and correspondence, please. Uh, yeah. Um, I'd like to take a moment to just update the board on the progress for the roof replacement. Um, they're doing really well. We've been blessed with some really fine weather. Um, the high school, uh, the first layers are almost complete. They're they're going to be working on the cap layer. Um, but uh you I'm sure that if you came down those ends of Pond Road, you saw everybody in front well you saw all the uh equipment in front of the auditorium. That's the last piece of the um high school that has to get done. So they're they've done really well. Um they've delivered the installation for Makipin and they're um done with all of the repointing and the brick work over there. So
013that should be um starting in the next day or so over there. So, um it's going to be interesting when they start ripping off the roof at Makipin to see what they find, but um we're we're up for it. We're uh we're doing really well. It's only the uh second week in in the month and um and they've already got one building done, so I'm I'm I'm happy about that. We've been blessed. We got a really good contractor and he's really on top of everything. So, we've been lucky. And and to dovetail on that, we had our bond sale today and um just um to review, back in December, the uh community was very supportive um allowed us to um have a $7.9 million U bond issue. Um and because of our contractor uh coming
014in at a a really reasonable amount, we the board decided to only go for 6.5 million. and the bond sale was today and our interest rate is 1.92%. So, um it's a 13-year bond and um I I if timing could be any more right, I don't I don't know. It all just fell into place. Um I'm really happy the board was willing to support the endeavor and um we're we're going to be good for a while. So, you know, with the 40% uh from the state, it's really been um been a grand slam for the community. So, thank you all for your support and um it's been an exciting time. So, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product and not have any more roof leaks. Yeah. And uh we have the minutes from the
015June 14th and June 22nd. Just one correction on the uh June 14th special special um action meeting. Um Matt Ventrella, our student representative, did come in um to the meeting. I believe the minutes show that he was absent. He was absent when we opened the meeting, but not um as we continue the meeting. So, he came in at 7:15 um on that date. So, that was the only correction that I need to mention on the meeting minutes, unless somebody has something else to bring up. like to make a motion to approve the following board of education meeting minutes.

It was review and revise the team charter. Complete the board's self-evaluation in time for goal setting for next year. Review policy beginning with the review compiled by NJSBA, critical policies first, and collaboratively revise the district mission statement, also creating a district

So, one through nine under education. Yes. Any discussion? Seeing none. Roll call, please. Barbara. Mrs. Dwire. Yes. Mrs. Schultz. Yes. Mr. Drew. Yes. Mr. Hubert. Yes. Mrs. O'Brien. Yes. Mr. Bailey. Yes. Mr. PY. Yes. Okay. Personnel student affairs. Ah, the fun begins, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, since uh we have a little mince meat going on here, we're going to have to organize it the best I can. So, I'd like to make a motion to move items 1 through 4 and 6 through 37 under personnel student affairs. Second. Thank you, Greg. Any discussion? Dr. Anamone was going to clarify number four for us a little
027bit. This is for uh Mr. Rashika. It's not to exceed three days total for the summer. Not three days in both July and three days in just three days total. We just didn't list the specific days because we're not sure which of the three days it will be, but it's that's how I read that. All right. Any other discussion? Um my only question is number 11. Uh what are these general substitutes or are they any specific um areas? And number 11 uh teachers in Yeah. But no no not specific teachers or anything like that. Not like teacher English teacher substitute teachers. Okay. They're just general. Okay. Any other discussion? Number 21. Can you just elaborate on that a little bit? That's me. Sure. Yeah, that's me. Thank you. So, several of the changes happened. Um
028Karen Reinhold listed there that was due to a um a recent settlement that we had to add some extra hours to cover a parent agreement. Jill Simons was just an error. So that was just corrected. And then Thomas BTO, his original hours didn't account for some of the consultation time, but what we found is that the students at the academy where we didn't give him those additional consultation times time originally, he did exceed the original amount that we gave him, which was the two hours because just the load of summer organization and and consulting with those teachers exceeded that amount. So that's why we just added him on there. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Any other discussion? See gun. Roll call, please. Barbara, Mrs. Dwire, yes. Miss O'Brien, yes. Mr. Drew, yes. Mrs. Schultz, yes.
029Mr. Yuber, yes. Mr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Foody, yes. Items five and 38 will be presented after executive session. Okay. Um Drew over to budget finance. Um like to move items 1 through 17 except for seven. Second. said 1 through 14, Steve. 1 through 17. Except 17. Yeah, except for seven. Except for seven. So seven is not 18, 19. Not y I've got some questions, Barbara. Um, on number one, the agreement with Transfinder, right? It was originally like $6,800 and just the invoice came in a little higher. Came in higher. Yes. Um, is that usual that we see a jump like that every year or it just depends on the vendor um on whether or not they have an increase in their costs and whether they pass it along? Okay. That on the same topic, that's
030a uh was that a bus routing and scheduling? It's a routing system. Yes. Okay. So, it cost us about $9,500 $9550 a year. Yes. Yes. Because we went to an online instead of having a server in district, it's a web-based um program now. Okay. Would it would it be cheaper to do it in district or would it No, because then we have to buy the server, we have to maintain it. It just Mr. Alte, would you like to, you know, comment on that on the the reason why we went on to a a web-based um routing system transfinder as opposed to holding it in district. We had to maintain the the server for it. Um as well as uh the the support for that maintenance was uh definitely lacking with the prior company that we
031would we were with. So switching to transfer the support occurred on their end. So from a support standpoint it was you know immediate as opposed to them waiting for them to get back to us on matters that we had taken incredibly long time. that and the costs were higher potentially I believe on the the software side itself but as well as on the um on the uh the maintenance costs. Is this something you oversee or is this transportation department overseas? Well the routing is done by transportation but the software and all the technology we have to interface. Okay. All right. Yeah. between the two departments and you know if if there was a breakdown then we'd have to restore the information online for now that's all done through the web was did by them so
032yeah this is our when we had the server then we had to make sure it was backed up okay um and then two other questions 13 and um 13 is there steel steel. Um they're sand blasting the steel I beams at the exterior of Westbrook, right? Will that be done before the end of the school? As soon as the uh extended your program is completed, they'll be starting it. They'll be starting. They they have the decking the decking has been completed. I can pass pictures around if you want to see it. Okay. Um, and then number 14, BSE Mechanical to remove the old water pump and 5,000galon holding tank. That was something at Westbrook. That was something that we didn't really have any information on. Uh, no. I did we get any other estimates besides
033Yeah, I did. I got another estimate. It was $2,000 more. Okay. And that's the the the holding tank here that has to be abandoned and a new one put in. So, are they going to just abandon this because it's in the wall? Yeah. And and put in a new Okay. Putting a new one. Yeah. Pressure system. All right. Okay. Any other discussion? Uh would ask for more elaboration on number 12. There's 230 computers. Um those are all for faculties. Yeah. This is the um the faculty computers. We replaced them on a cycle. So this is the faculty computers for the high school and the middle school. Are are these the computers that are in the classroom? Yes. Okay. These are not the iPads, not laptops, not Chromebooks. These are the desktops. Yes. Uh a number
03415. What warrant kind of warranty are we getting on that roof? How many years? I'm not quite sure. I have to admit. Um I I can check the paperwork and see if I have it here. I think about that one. Port office shingled roof, huh? Yeah, it's a shingled roof, right? Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. And usually those are about 20 or 25 years depending on what you 25 30. You can even go as high as 40 if you're going real expensive. So it should be at least 20. Yeah. 30. You think? I know. It depends on the shingles that they use. It depends on the shingles that you buy. If you're hiring Wayne Johnson, what do you think he's going to give you? Shingles. Like, you know what I mean? These are top-notch people. They use
035uh that's a marquee. Uh what do you call for them also? Everybody's going to know Wayne Johnson. It's going to generate them a lot of business. They're reputable, very good roofing contractor. I know they're using a 30-year share. Johnson, please store. It's a timberline shingle, so I would say it's probably a 30 year. Timberline is usually 25. Okay. Get this information later. Home Depot. All right. So, that's any other discussion on any other items? Um number 16. Last question. Um which threshold are we paying for for the drug testing? Threshold. There's different thresholds of testing. The the cheapest one misses a lot. pretty standard test that schools send children out for I think it's nine uh 10 panel or 10 10B it's not the cheapest or the lowest and it's 910 per test I don't
036remember minimum order of 400 tests we can request 600 I can share with you the specifics. It's a little urine urine gift card along with screw top collection cup etc. Is that on the board members what page? Yes. Yeah. I got it up right here. All right. Any other questions? This is one through 17. Yep. Except for number seven. Right. Okay. Roll call, please. Barber. Mr. Bailey. Yes. Mr. Drew. Yes. Mrs. Dwire, yes. Mr. Foody, yes. Mr. Yuber, yes. Miss O'Brien, yes. Mrs. Schultz, yes. Um, I had forgotten to do this. Welcome to the district, Dr. Anam. The more I see, the more impressive. I think we made a good decision and I'm have every confidence you're going to do well. Uh, the soup was a bit of a joke between me and Babbot. He
037was giving me trouble about my accent one day, which I've tried to lose. Is a little bit funny because I grew up in the West. And so you could tell, can't you? Uh, I had said, "Well, I've got a sheer sucker suit and white bucks." And he dared me to wear it. And I said, "Of course I can't. It's before Memorial Day." Well, anyhow, that's that's about it. I'd like to move items 20 to 23, please. Second. Um, 20 to 23. Yeah. How about we do 20 to 22 and then because we got that set up for second vote number 23. Sorry about that. I thought we had 24 set up. That's fine. Okay. 20 and 22 is fine then. I still second it. All right. Okay. Um, either the second second. Thank you, Debbie.

Okay. discussion. Everybody's aware that they should um abstain on themselves and make their vote or nay on on everyone else. Okay. Uh no discussion. Roll call, please. Barber. Mr. Bailey. Yes. Mrs. Dwire. Wait. Uh yes. Abstain on me, though. You're abstaining on yourself, Craig. No. take one red scent for us. Okay. Neither do I. Y

Did everyone receive copies of the bill list in their packets? Yes. In in our packets. Yeah, they were in my packet. I didn't have it in my packet. You mean you doing this, right? That's for transfers that I didn't There were bills in there, too. There were bills online. I That's what I looked at. Yeah, it's not in the packet. These are all trans. Oh, I took that then. My bad. Reading would be

Like to move item number 25 regarding transfer funds. Second. Discussion. Barber. Yeah. Um, we don't have a copy of this month's the June 30th board secretary report. It's not the year, but I do have the May 16th board secretary report. Okay. That was online.
041And in this transfer of 831,000 and change, we've got close to 400,000 coming out of our health benefits account. Mhm. And our board secretar's report from May says that there's only $4,800 available in that line item. So somebody made a mistake somewhere whether whether whether it was last month, whatever, but we transfer money in from the agency account. When the health benefit contributions are deducted from salary, they go into the agency account and they're collected there. And then two times a year, we transfer the money into the health benefit line. So that's where the money comes from because when we build a budget, we have to reduce our expenditure line by the amount we anticipate in health benefit contributions. But until you collect the contributions, you can't put it into your budget. We collect that
042twice a year. No, we collect it every payroll, but it accumulates in the agency account and when we need it, we transfer it in. So, how much was then transferred in? I mean, how much was collected and then transferred into that account or that line item, excuse me? It would have been much help more helpful if you didn't I just I didn't have the chance over the weekend. Barbara, I apologize. who's going through this stuff at the last minute. I would say it was probably close to a million dollars that was transferred in. And that's all of in contributions that we got from staff. Yes. Okay. All right. Any other discussion? All right. Roll call, please. Barber. Miss O'Brien. Yes. Mr. Bailey? Yes. Mrs. Dwire? No. Mrs. Schultz? Yes. Mr. Yuber? Yes. Mr. Drew? Mr.
043Deborah. Um, Mr. Deber not here. Mr. Foody. No. No. That one doesn't pass. You need six votes for a transfer. Hm. You need six votes for a transfer. I know. So, so we can't close out the school year. Okay. That's true. We'll get a negative and we can't pay bills tomorrow. The bills were approved. So, we're okay there. I don't know where the money's going to come out of which counts, but you cannot close out the uh the year. Can I ask a question, please? Mhm. Why do why are we saying why are we having no votes out of this at this point in time? Exactly. Okay. I Is is there something in particular that that are the that our naysayers are having an issue with that we can't have our BA do and close
044out the school year. I am not saying that the BA cannot do her job. I have since I've been on this board, I object to transferring funds from one account to another. I feel that the money should have been in the account from the very beginning. That's why I vote no. Okay. So, if a correct me if I'm wrong, Barbara, because I'm probably overstepping my bounds here, but you have to project your budget for 18 months ahead of schedule, right? Okay. I don't know about you, but I would find that to be extremely difficult. Um, I don't think she's doing anything illegal or immoral. I think all school districts in New Jersey do this. I can't speak for any other state. Mrs. O'Brien, I am not accusing anyone of being immoral or unethical. Okay. I
045wasn't done speaking. Okay. But that that's my opinion and I've said it from the beginning. Thank you. Next time guys, direct it. Oh, please. I'm sorry. through me. Sorry. That's okay. I That's okay. It's It's nice to have healthy discussions, but I don't want you button heads like that, please. Uh Steve, I abstained so that under parliamentary procedure I can change my vote and we can bring it up again at the same meeting after we've discussed it in private. Oh, okay. There you go. Thank you, Mr. P. The only thing I will say to that is that it's a discussion about finance and there's nothing can't discuss what we want to discuss. So there is no discussion in executive session for this. is a public discussion. It's just the process I went through. I'm not
046disagreeing with you on a maybe another item explaining. Go ahead, Mr. B. Mr. President, let me state that as we sit here with two board members absent, probably for good reason. So that's not the point. At the first meeting with a new superintendent, the leader of our district and for us to go through these hijinks, if you will, I think is really not good. And I support the VA. I've always supported the VA and I have intimate knowledge about what goes on this time of the year with the BA. because I know somebody who works very closely with a BA in another district and we talk about it a lot this time of the year. I'll leave it at that. So, I don't know what's going on here. I don't know what we're trying to
047do, but I'm so disheartened and so I don't know what the term is when this board acts in a manner that effectively removes, you know, takes you guys out of the mix. It's almost like we're constantly secondguessing the professionals who are charged with the responsibility of running this district, who get paid a lot of money to do it and who are doing a great job because we know what West Milford is. If we get to these situations and between no and extension, this young lady can't do her job properly. And I want the record noted that I'm against that kind of stuff and I'll always vote yes. Okay, [Music] Steve, do you want to move on or go ahead like to move item number 26? Thank you. Any discussion? It's got to be seconded. Nope,
048you're right. Second. Thank you, Debbie. Any discussion? Seeing none. Roll call, please. Barber, on item number 26. Mrs. Schultz, yes. Mr. Drew, yes. Mrs. Dwire, yes. Miss O'Brien, yes. Mr. Yuber, same. Mr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Foody, I'm going to abstain as well. That passes. Yep. Like to move item number 27. Second. Discussion. Roll call, please. Barber. Miss O'Brien. Yes. Mr. Bailey. Yes. Mrs. Dwire. Yes. Mrs. Schultz. Yes. Mr. Uber. Yes. Mr. Drew. Yes. Mr. Foody. Stain. That one passes. Okay. We are going to move on to policy. Uh since Mr. De isn't here, Dwen, would you uh do the honors, please? Sure. Uh move to approve the following agenda item. The recommendation of the superintendent to approve the first reading and of a revised bylaw entitled executive authority code number 0132. Um documentation was provided
049electronically. Second. And oh I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't read. It goes on to the next page. I was too slow. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll second it again for you, honey. Two, the recommendation superintendent to approve the first reading and of a new policy entitled transgender students code number 5756. And that was also provided electronically. And I'll second that as well. Any discussion? Seeing none, roll call, please. Barbara. Mr. Yuber. Yes. Mr. Drew. Yes. Mrs. Dwire. Yes, Mrs. O'Brien. Yes, Mrs. Schulz. Yes, Mr. Bailey. Mr. Foody. Yes, Special Committees and Liaison reports. Um, Mr. Robbins isn't here. Um, we'll pass safety. I don't know if Mr. Bailey went to the bathroom. Oh, he's back. Um, Mr. Bailey safety report. Nothing to report. Thank you, sir. Marilyn, nothing to report. Thank you. To say county
050school boards, Maryland, I have nothing to report. Okay. It's summer, I guess. Um, New Jersey school boards, um, if you're going to go to the New Jersey school boards convention in October, make sure that you have your paperwork filled out, handed in to Barber by the 25th. Correct. Um, and make sure that you do board self- evaluation from last year. Mr. Drew, I have a question. Will there be the board required training offered outside of the convention? Will we have Yes, there's there's always opportunities outside the convention and they're usually webinars. Okay. Yeah. Now, yeah, that's what they're moving to. It's great. It's nice. Um legislation, there a couple of things. Um the legislature passed a uh state school budget uh with additional funding. Christie um line item vetoed it but approved it with a
051million in additional funding. I think it was a million instead of the three million asked for. We mostly are keeping all of the funding that we thought we were going to get. And I don't know whether the legislature gets another shot at overriding. I'm I'm I'm still a little confused about exactly how this back and forth works and when something is actually passed and when it's not. But um uh it doesn't appear that we have anything cut. There was substantial discussion about changing the equalization formula. Um it appears there are something like 31 Abbott districts which are net recipients of funding from the other 530 districts like West Milford. Um and that was done out of I'll try to avoid fairness. Um but since that's done, test scores and any sort of educational results that
052anybody can measure have only gone down in the Abbott district. So the uh presumption that spending more money in those districts would improve education did about as much good as Mark Zuckerberg was $100 million spent on newer. Um made no difference. Money down a rat hole. But I'm not seeing anybody who looks like they're going to go back and revisit the equalization formula. It appeared to have been a lot of hot air and that was the end of that. Uh so we're at least not going to be cut for next year, it would appear, unless there's more back and forth negotiations. Um the other thing that's come up is the funding for PCTI and we've gotten a little more information about that. Now in general I am very supportive of uh improvements in science, technology,
053engineering, mathematics, education. That's certainly what we need in this country. And uh but the problem is that under the covers there are five districts that are going to be it really is a shift from the uh education budget where citizens and voters elect the school board who decides what the budget is going to be to an unelected school board at Payic County who is going to come back for the money through the municipalities where nobody has any say about it at all. There are five districts who are net recipients and the remaining towns in uh um Pacific County like West Milford will be dumping a lot of additional money into that but not through the school board. It'll come through your town taxes. So, we don't have anything to say about it. Um the town
054pretty much doesn't have anything to say about it. Um the people who have something to say about it are the unelected superintendent of schools in Pac County and the unelected um uh county uh board of education. And um I had thought originally that it would be some sort of proportional funding related to the number of kids we send, but it isn't. It's really more proportional related to we don't want to fund our own education. And so there are districts like Payic or Patterson or Clifton who send a lot of kids to PCTI and they really essentially creating a two-tiered education system um with uh some of their elite students going to uh PCTI and West Milford and Ringwood and Waniku and all of the upcount districts get to pay for it which I just don't
055think is the right way to do The kids we send get on a bus for as much as two hours each way. That's a tough decision to make, but we can be pretty sure those families who are willing to send their kids to to PCTI um really want or deserve that education. Uh but in the meantime, I don't think we ought to be making a decision that the kids in West Milford don't get an education in auto shop or booking or some of those other things. You know, that's great if there there are kids in other districts who want that sort of thing. But I think that that our kids right here in West Milford deserve those kinds of skills. We've got plenty of kids who are bright kids who could go to college, who
056are going to go in the family business or whatever. And so I think we have a responsibility to educate those kids right here. Worst possible thing we could do is take take money out of our district when we didn't lose the kids and send it down there. Um, I don't know whether we ought to have some kind of resolution to support that funding or not, but I I really uh uh you know, and we had discussed this once before and I I'm very supportive of science and technology education, but this isn't going for West Milford's kids. Not going to help us one kid in West Milford, but it is going to raise everybody's taxes. So, I'm I'm very very opposed to it. I'm kind of thinking we ought to have a statement by the board
057whether we, you know, support funding PCTI uh through uh county taxes or not. So, I'll make a motion to that that effect that we reject that kind of supporting for PCTI. Second for purposes of discussion. Well, this is maybe lays on reports. We'll bring that up. Old business or new business? Probably old business. That's kind of a legislative thing. This is county legislation, not state legislation. That's reports, but we're under reports. We're not Oh, okay. Technicalities. Withdraw the under the new business. Yeah. So, we can discuss that time. I'll bring it up again. We'll jump it out. We'll just make the motion. I'll make my I'll make my report short. You're going to have to listen to my whole little speech again. You what? Okay. Legislative technology. Mr. Drew, uh we are having discussions um
058regarding the uh one-on-one, I think it's called, and expansion of technology um in West Milford. And unfortunately due to my health, we just have not held that meeting yet. So we will have additional discussions and I think there's some very interesting things for the district to consider at that time. This is O'Brien, West Milford Education Foundation. Thank you. Um first of all, I'd like to make an apology on behalf of the West Milford Education Foundation to the educational community. Um I had said earlier in the year that um come June we would be looking for grants. Um I've missed the last couple meetings due to my own um family commitments and bark schedule. So I had com uh corresponded or I should really say tried to correspond with the other board members. Um and I
059did not get a reply. So, as soon as I find out what's going on with that, I want I want to let the uh educational community know and we can um get that going. But the intent is that the teachers and faculty and education community um begin submitting their grants early so that we can get the ball rolling. And we're still having our um our big fundraiser come September 18th. So, we hope you are there. And that's also on Facebook, on our um web page, and I think there's Instagram maybe. I'm not sure the other one, but I know the other two. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Mrs. Dwire, Mrs. O'Brien, what time is this event? Do we have a time? Um, I think the registration is starting. I would like to say, please God,
060don't hold me to it. 8 o'clock is okay. 8 am. Um it's going to be in front of Westbrook High School. Uh Westbrook the high school, no Westbrook High School and Makabin School. Um we're aiming for family participation, community participation. So I think right now we have about 80 people have signed up. Um I should I should send everybody the link and stuff like that so you can No problem. You got it. Okay. Township board of ed joint committee. Um Mr. De's schedule. They're looking for an Yes. I I actually ran into Lou the other day and I told them when Mr. De came back from Texas that we'd uh set something up. So um have nothing to report um from the joint committee. So, we're going to move on to old business. Old business.
061Mr. Drew, you have So, this is where you think this will Yeah. All right. So, I'd like to make a motion because we've discussed it in the past. Um, uh, that basically the West Milford board does not support funding PCTI expansion through the county budget. I'll second that. Okay. any discussion from any of the board members? I have to agree completely that the the fact that we have no discretion whatsoever um is unacceptable and I I would support the resolution for that reason alone. Um how do we Joe go about to draw something up for our next meeting? Yeah. Okay. I mean if the board agrees with that position and then we can submit it to school boards and they can do what they do with them. Okay. my agenda, but it can't. Debbie, yeah,
062you kind of started answering my question, but can somebody lead me through the process of what we're actually doing? So, because I'm I this this is kind of Mr. Drew. Well, we have no control over I I got that part. I got I want you're registering and I you know after we have passed this I would think that we ought to send that to the freeh holders who actually do have control over how much the amount might be and appointing the uh uh county department of education. I think we also ought to send it to New Jersey school board. So then my follow-up question is then dot dot dot or we don't know. So maybe we should add that to the motion that you know and then and well generally generally the way I I
063do these sort of motions is that we go through the reasons why we don't support it and then at the end of the motion it usually says that we want this submitted to county freeholders etc etc and what we really do is we request uh school boards to lobby on our behalf again they would be against this normal sometimes it's for something or against it um because that's what they We don't go down the train ourselves or to the county and lobby, but we would request that they do it. Um, and they would discuss that motion amongst themselves and decide whether or not to support it themselves. The reason why I ask is I'm I, you know, till until you informed me of that, I thought this was just more of a um this is
064how West Milford stands and feels about it and it's just a acknowledgement or a uh our position on something and then it doesn't go anywhere. Well, it is that, but but there's more after that. There would be more, but until we decide what our position is, I I wouldn't be able to write anything. Of course. Of course. And and and Joe, it would be both New Jersey school boards and to say county school boards, correct? Essentially the same. Yes. Yeah. Okay. New Jersey really doesn't have much to do with it. It, you know, it's all a county effort. It's all a county effort. Yeah. But I would send it to everybody. I have some documentation that Yeah. if you could send it to me so I know what exactly you're talking about. Okay, Mr. Bailey.
065Mr. President, I have a question for the attorney. What about if you are employed by the county, would you excuse yourself from acting on this resolution or you know in a true democracy which we all love and enjoy? Does that not matter? Does that have no consequence? And taking it a step further, what about if you uh which I do do business with the county? Would I excuse myself from something like this? Because in essence, a no vote is sort of a no against the county leadership. If you're actually employed by the county, I would recuse yourself from this vote. But doing business with the county. Okay, I hear you. I don't think is sufficient to do that, I think. Yeah. All right. That case, I'll second again. Sure. Wow. Okay. Thank you for bringing
066that up. If you're federal work for the county watches I I realize that but I don't want to I don't know much. So she should really you're not unless somebody can guarantee that just recuse yourself. Yeah I am. I am okay. Any other discussion? Marilyn, I just wanted to mention um I don't even know if this is part of township, but we all received an email. I believe Friends of Walsh is holding a sunset yoga on the farm event on August 8th at 700 p.m. It's a donation based gentle vinyasa yoga class on the farm given by Katie Hayes who's a certified yoga instructor and it's a 75minute class. Participants need only to bring their own mats and towels. Thank you. I I I was asking if you had any discuss you had anything to
067say with regards to this PCTI because that was the motion on the floor, but that's okay. I'm sorry. That's okay. I thought we were going to do a but but we still we hadn't taken a vote yet. That's please don't Okay. So, um So, let me clarify one thing. It's a the PCTI resolution is going to be drafted by Mr. Rosselli, but in essence, it's going to be um drafted in and that you're against having expansion of the funding as proposed through the county budget, right? Against passing the the funding on to the municipality as opposed to tuition through the board, right? Okay. Completely appropriate to raise tuition as they raise cost. Absolutely. you know, but the this backdoor means of collecting additional money that nobody has any say over my problem is. Okay. So,
068we can have a roll call uh vote on that, please, board. Okay, Mr. Bailey. Absolutely not. Mr. De uh Mr. Drew. So, I'm voting yes for this motion. Yes, Mrs. Dwire. Yes, Mr. Foody. Yes, Mr. Yuber. Yes, Miss O'Brien. Abstain. Mrs. Schultz. Yes. Okay, I will draw it up for the next meeting. Anything else under old business? Seeing none, clo like to close old business. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Okay, new business. Mr. Bailey, Mr. President, I want the record noted and I'm sure I'm gonna not say the guy's name right, who I think was the point guy for all of this along with the Knights of the Highlands, whoever those guys are. But Tim and I know there's people in the district that are involved in this. the uh celebration of our nation's
069birthday returned to McCormick Field for the first time in quite some time. This past uh July 2nd and I don't know when the last time it was there, but I do know the facility uh was not in the shape it's in now. That is a phenomenal amount of upgrades that uh some people fought long and hard against. But to sit there on that night and to see the people of West Milford, you know, not that this is a news flash, you know, people in Kim Long, you know, they turn out for fireworks. It's a a great thing, but to sit there in those bleachers on that night was a little bit cool. I had to actually have a little rap with you. You know, it was just such a wonderful setting. And to see people
070scurrying around, little kids, you know, on the synthetic field surface without having to worry about geese droppings, etc. You know, the music, Jimmy the Barber and a rockolics. I mean, it really was a phenomenal event and I hope that whoever come up with this idea to return it there continues to come to us year after year and I would hope that we whatever say the board has and all of this continues to embrace it. Yes, exactly. Because it was phenomenal. It's a phenomenal facility. There's more work to be done up there. I have even bigger and better plans and this whole board should get behind it because that is a good place and that was a prime example of what could happen when you have a top-notch facility which we do up there. Enough of
071that. Excuse Wait a minute. Rewind. Happy birthday, America. Thanks. Any other uh thing else? Go ahead. I don't mean to monopolize when you but everybody else takes six times talking about uh the same thing. So why not? I have a a general question. I don't know who watches this on TV. What is the deadline for your petitions and running for the board and is it this coming Monday? Yes. Monday 4 p.m. And the process is for if somebody's interested to pick up the petition, which they can get in the board office. They can. Yes. and then get it filled out and get down to Patterson by 4:00 on this coming Monday, Monday the 25th. And they can actually get it online. If they go to the P County Clerk's website, it's available online. Even on
072school board's website, it's available. Okay. I, you know, it's with the new cycle with the elections in November, it's kind of non-traditional. We've been doing it for several years now, but you know, I would assume we're always looking for a few good men or women to participate in the process. So, again, I don't know who watches this, but if they can hear me in TV land, take note of that Monday 4:00 deadline for submitting your petitions if you're so interested. Anything else on your new business? Go ahead, Steve. Um we had done a climate climate survey parent students last year and found some areas where we needed to improve and we've had some discussions regarding this and that that we really need to ask our customers what needs to be improved. Um, so I'm not
073making an actual motion, but I'm bringing this up that I want a and we heard about some climate surveys that could be done relatively cheaply. I would like to do one at the beginning of the year, meaning not November or December, but first or second week of school and at the end of the year to see whether or not we have succeeded, you know, what do we need to do and have we succeeded in making improvements. So, that's a discussion I want us to have and not kick that can down the road until it's too late. Which schools are you talking about, Steve? West Milford Township Public Schools. Okay. I guess he means all all eight of them. In that case, I'd like to add something to that, especially the high the climate surveys should
074be separate evaluated separately for each school instead of mixed all together as a district. So, I was going to say that's something that Dr. Anamoan Yeah, you can make up Dan. No, I know, but that that's something they should come up with in consultation with the principles, right? Um, and then they can work on a schedule to get those out. So, now there was Dan was just saying a survey last September and they're doing another one this September, but I I I think having one done in the beginning of the year and the end of the year like you suggested gives us, you know, how things were in the beginning and how things were at the end. I I like I kind of like that. Dan, correct me if I'm wrong though, but didn't the
075last survey we took didn't wasn't it meshed together for the whole district so that it kind of lost its efficacy for any particular school figuring out a problem in any particular school? No, we had um parent the parent uh portion was meshed together. Um the students were broken down elementary, middle, high school and then staff staff. So the staff was whole district, the parents are whole district but the students were by level. So in the elementary then would elementary schools then you would be hard to kind of pinpoint any particular school with a problem then if they were mixed together. No well we have trend I mean as far as pinpointing particular problem we're looking for for trends. We als you also want to find the trends the good trends so you can keep them
076and emulate them. So it goes kind of both ways to shared we had you know we had highlights we had things to celebrate and things to work on. So it was it was a good process and we'll see the you know we'll see the growth from that from you know the hope is that we see you know some better results next time we do it. Okay. Anything else under new business? Seeing none like to close new business. Second. Thank you. All in favor? I. Any opposed? petitions and requests. Petitioners who have request to speak prior to the meeting will be first for five minutes for each petitioner for a period 30 minutes and then time permitting other petitions and requests limited to 5 minutes per petitioner will be allowed until the 30 minute period transpires.
077All speakers are asked to give their full name, their la spell or last name, provide their address. Speakers may not use the names of students during petitions and requests. Do we have anybody who'd like to speak? Mr. Sidowitz. That poor guy. I'm just glad you called me up. Okay. Will sett Lakeshore Drive. In October 16th of 2012, the Westm Board of Education voted to change its election cycles to coincide with the general elections held in November. This resolution eliminated the annual voter referendum on the proposed general fund tax levy. The resolution also states that the effects of public law 2011 chapter 202 would expire after the fourth year of enactment. We are reaching that point of expiration and I do believe that this board should reconsider this res resolution and not reauthorize it. The heavy
078burdens of taxation are intended to be determined by those who pay these taxes. As a result of the 2012 revaluation, many saw that this burden exponentially grew. The resolution claimed that the West Moford Board of Education believes that more citizens will participate in the selection of its members at the general election than on the third Tuesday in April and that the higher level of participation will foster positive interest in our public schools. I disagree. Positive interest in public schools is a natural notion that parents and caring citizens have for our students. And I also believe that a tax's impact on family finances has greater consequences to a family's interest in our public schools. The obvious obvious result of heavy taxation with minimal representation is reflected in the parents decision to leave this township and state.
079I believe the res result also lies in the steady decline in student population. Further, the resolution stated, "The Westm for Board of Education believes that the financial interest of its constituents is safeguarded by the state's tax levy cap and the thorough review of the proposed school budget by the executive county superintendent and by the executive county school business administrator." Again, I disagree. May expect for a 2% increase in school taxes unless members of the board see that there is another way. Usually this happens amidst accusations of being anti-U education. The vote for this resolution at the time was 63. Two of the three members that voted against this resolution remain as trustees today. I hope their stance remains the same and is publicly reflected in the same manner. I believe that the public should have
080control over the public public education budget. Thank you. Anybody else like to speak? Like to close petitions or requests today. All in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Um Glenn, executive session resolution. Uh move that at 9:01 p.m. uh we move into executive session for the purpose of discussing personnel negotiations, real estate matters, and attorney client privilege. Second matters of attorney. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Real estate. Yeah, he threw in there. He said real estate. Yeah. And and we will be voting on three items after we come back from executive session. Yeah. You you just got that voice. All right. Ask your wife about that. really executive session. Um, Debbie, uh, can you do Sure. Okay. Number five, item five and 38. And I'd like to move on page six underel five is on page
081six. Number 38. 38 is on page 15. I think you're right. 14. 14. Okay. All right. So, I'd like to move items number five and number 38 under personnel. Thank you, Marilyn. Any discussion? I would like to wish Dr. Matlo Yes. First of all, um, good luck in his new position. I'm sure he'll thrive and succeed. And once again, when we, uh, have these situations that arise, I've always, uh, been one for moving West Milford people through the system as they, uh, you know, better themselves and, uh, many, many examples of, you know, West Milford people rising through the ranks and, um, doing a great job. upper level of the this district. This is another excellent example. I'm sure he'll thrive up there. Whatever you need out of Mr. Bailey, feel free. Dr. Malos, congratulations.
082[Applause] I happen to agree with Mr. Bailey as well uh with the appointment or the recommendation of number five. I too will be voting yes along with number 38. I will be voting yes. I'm very excited about these two new appointments. Um number 38, Mrs. Vidow is born and bred in West Milford. She's active in our community and I think she's going to be a nice asset to our educational community right now that we have and um I'm very excited for our kids to be working with them. I'm going to jump along the bag bandwagon here. Um for both candidates, I would like to first of all say congratulations and I am very very thrilled and I too will be voting yes. Um, I just want to state for the record with Dr. Matlo, he
083has been extremely instrumental in my young son's life. Um, he, uh, Dan has become a, um, driving force at George Mason University. He just did a wonderful thing that he's trying to institute nationwide with um, their student ID cards, putting emergency numbers on the back of them.
