First, a statement from our student representative, Chris Ilick. Uh to the Rockway Valley Board of Education. It has been a great honor and privilege of being the student representative from Mount Lakes High School this school year. I want to thank Mount Lake school district superintendent Dr. Seagull and Mount Lakes High School principal Mr. Manili for selecting me to take on this responsibility responsibility. Most importantly, I'd like to thank Principal Patini, board president, Mr. Brener, and the entire board for allowing me to partake in monthly meetings. From the bottom of my heart, it has been a pleasure to serve in such a significant role and I wish everyone
007all the best. That's from Chris. Um, Mount Lace High School principal, Mr. Menilli will be searching for a new student liaison uh this coming year. So, we'll hear back from him soon. Uh, second part here is we are at the end of our year two for the five-year strategic action plan. As many of you know, this has three goal areas with objectives. The goal areas are in family and community relationships, supporting student growth and student and community values. Some highlights from this uh report uh for each of these areas is uh includes parents coming into the school and sharing areas of expertise, historical and cultural backgrounds and teaching students about my news. There have been local field trips, studies, and research, parent presentations, STEM projects, one that provided prosthetics uh created on the 3D printers.
008Uh the Veterans Day concert, various student driven projects, collaboration and articulation between Mount Links and Township, implementation of datadriven decisions such as using response to intervention model and Lincoln, implementation of a math 8 course, and a focus on inclusive education. The strategic plan goals and objectives with school events will be uploaded to the website within a few days. Uh and another last and final point is the administration has been hard at work this summer planning programs and professional development for the upcoming school year. And I'll leave you with Dr. Seagull this week to plan uh some uh more presentations and articulation for the following school year. And that's the end of my report. >> Thank you. and you've all had a chance to look at the nurses reports through the tennis report that the tennis
009court and strateg report and that brings us to Mr. uh just one thing uh would like to give a big shout out and a big thank you for the ESY program of Mrs. Victoria Wilson and the entire RVS staff. Students were enthusiastically learning every day and weeks were a huge hit with everyone. That's it. >> Thank you. >> There's no correspondence. That brings us to open session number one. The first public comment period will be limited to agenda items only. The second public comment period will be open to any topic. Please be mindful that public comment periods are available to anyone public to give comments and feedback to the board. Personal matters and day-to-day operations are not appropriate subject to board meetings. These can always be most effectively resolved with the appropriate staff members or
010administer command concept. Questions may be directed to the appropriate school personnel or board through email. Please state your name and address for the record. All comments are limited to five minutes. Would anyone from the public wish to address the board on agenda items? >> That was brief. And that brings us to the Aison report starting with the bouncing lights board of education. >> All right. So we met um a few weeks ago in July. Forget the exact date, but um it was a long meeting. It was our annual board retreat. So it was my first one. Um I think this is the first one with Dr. Seagull. So he did they did a really good job of um they did like a a quiz where we all had to submit information about ourselves and we
011kind of played a game for a little bit. Um but then we we got down to business and >> Can I ask where it was? >> It was just in a youthful library. Yeah. They just did it and they had like a big screen. There was nobody there. Nobody attended. Um but it was open to the public and we just kind of like gave interesting facts and like what do you think it is? >> So it was it was cute. Um and then um they went we went through when we got down business uh they talked through the financials real quick. Um they they have a $2 million surplus which they're applying to various reserves. They didn't explain which reserves but I think there's tuition reserve and you know the different reserves but they're portioning
012it appropriately. Um, so I think they do want to talk through facilities. I know they have a list of that came up too when we talked goals, which I'll get to in a second. They have a if they had gone through a list of facilities needs, but it's just a long list is what it is with, you know, I think had a large price tag. Um, so now the issue is, you know, um, prioritizing that, coming up with what what's the right, you know, uh, sequence to do things. So they're they're looking through that. I don't know if the surplus would go to it or not. Um they talked about Bon Township enrollment. I know it's down by fewer than they expected, but I think um they they might understand the uh enrollment now of
013what's going over there for the uh incoming freshman this year. Um and then we have the board and retreat. Uh but as part of the board retreat, we have a little bit of fun, but we also discussed goals. Um so we did approve the district goals, which there's four of them. The first one is expand students active learning in prek classrooms through effective use of small groupoup instruction questioning strategies and problem solving initiatives. Uh the second one was identify, develop and implement plans to enrich STEM learning in all four schools by enhancing facilities resources, curricula and experiences outside of their classroom align with a clearly defined district vision. The third one was increased horizontal and vertical articulation practices and outcomes among staff members in the Mountain Lakes District and between um the district and the
014Rockway Valley School through structured professional collaboration opportunities. Um and the fourth one was review and analyze programs, models and research related to social emotional learning with the classroom and make performance recommendation to the board in the 26 27 calendar year. So that's the the focus for next year. they did. It's nice they are putting you know increased focus on the uh articulation um across the board and the STEM uh was a big uh item they're really pushing which is which is good to see. Um so those are the the district goals and we we started to as part of the retreat we did break into in the uh spirit of small group instruction we broke into small groups during the meeting walked around and went through what we you know kind of like Dr. Seagull
015had a really good exercise where we kind of built upon each of the white boards that we were using in exception to try to come up with what the 26 27 board goals. So, we're working on that. Oh, sorry. 26 board goals. So, we're working on updating our board. Um, and then we approved the district goals. Uh, we reviewed board goals that I think we'll probably approve at the next meeting. And that was really it. Um it was just a long session on the the retreat. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, that brings us to New Jersey School Boards Association this month or county school boards association. >> Yeah. Is anyone hot or cold? >> Is that your son? I don't >> We're on a hiatus. >> Yes. Uh Educational Services Commission of Mars County did
016does not did not meet this July. It will be August. Uh Bon Township Special Education Parent Advisory Group. >> Thank you. And Bon Township Education Foundation. Got it. And Rockaway Valley Home School Association. >> So HSA we have met as committees. Most of the committees have met with me and the vice president this summer. So, um we're working to meet with everyone before the start of the school year. So, we've met with the lunch committee. Lunch orders are going to be occurring, I believe, August 20th. Off the top of my head, I can't get my newsletter to open, but there will be a newsletter coming out next week. as well as the HSA voted on furnishing 12 tables to four classrooms in the school for the inclusion model to be able to use these tables
017to support the grant that was received. And I think that's pretty much it for now. >> Great. Thank you. Township. >> Okay. Uh few updates.

So, the program committee with that may have a motion for program motions one through four program motion reports on the agenda second. >> Any questions, comments or discussion? I just wanted sorry this afternoon but two I think it's just important to note >> this is a committee that was formed previously that okay we specify or just What's the problem? >> This the committee that you're voting on to was in effect the school year that ended this year. >> Yeah. This is the 2024

Priority motion two as amended program on the agenda. And this is all in favor say I. >> I. Say no. >> Any extensions? That brings us to policy. hopefully the posit. >> No, Catherine has been going through um looking at her departure at the end of August. Um just trying to make sure all the policies are in and a lot of them, not a lot of them, but she is seeing some that need some updating. They haven't been updated in a while. Um again, it would really not be much changing, just updating um and approving them. So, I had spoke to her when I was in for personnel and
026um we're going to get together again and see if we should >> have a meeting or if we don't need to have a meeting if they're just updating and there's policies that don't have any changes. >> Yeah. Okay. There's some new items that we need to discuss in the policy our next meeting. >> Okay. Perfect. >> Okay. So, so whoever's on the call, keep an eye out for an email. >> I think we also be keeping ours up for emails. >> Yeah. Excellent. Okay, there's no motions and governance committee has not met and I believe the governance committee should also meet in the near future. So, uh we have some things we can discuss as well. So, whoever's on the governance committee also keep an eye out for any you'll know. Okay, with that open
027possession number two, I will kind of similar to possession number one wish to uh ask you make comments board. >> If not, that brings us to old business. Is there any old business coming? >> Yeah, I put out a document for everybody to read for about our board to see if we can kind of knock those out and prove them. uh well we could discuss them and approve them here or be able to put them formally to approve them but I thought we could have discussion on them. So I don't know if you you want me to read through so everybody in the video can hear what might see questions for >> which one >> boards. Oh >> boards. Yeah 25 26 boards. >> Um so I mean I I was looking around the themes
028I was looking around was one the you know board communication with the broader community. I think we've already made progress on that one which if you could you get a head start um with Miss Bardock's um suggestion of uh a note from the board out quarterly to the um to the district. And then the other one I had was, you know, support and monitor and communicate the progress of district's 5year strategic plan. Also done some good work knocking these off, right, with our board goals. This is kind of like we stacked it back. Um give the update and then put the board after. But we should we should continue to uh communicate to the broader public what's going on with the 5ear plan. I think that's probably a good one in my opinion, but happy
029to discuss. Um, and then I I I said re-evaluate, implement a plan to best meet the long range facility safety need. I won't read through it, but it's very similar to what we had sort of last year. I don't think I think when you're looking at our goals, that's probably the one we made the least progress on. There's a lot going on, but we'll probably need to put that one on there and we've got one front and center this year. Um and then I put continue if we want the fourth continue board trade carrot lex and certification if we want to make that priority for our own continue. Um and then learn you had some suggestions um continue board training to achieve maybe just wording I think it was right. >> Yeah and just adding
030providing ongoing education training and mentorship for new incoming board of ed members since this is the year where there's an election. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Um, does anybody I'm not trying to dictate him. Just thought I'd open up the discussion and I could word smith them. I think >> just word smithing for me. >> Yeah, sure. >> On three and I have it in there. >> I >> Okay. >> Sorry. >> Got it. >> It just to move districts. It's the district long range facility safety. So it would be re-evaluating implementing P plan to best meet the district right long r is that >> long range facility safety and infrastructure needs to develop a multi-year plan. >> Yeah, >> that's all >> that works. >> Put it in AI. >> It'll do the magic for
031you. >> But that would be my edit. >> Does anybody feel there's any other goal we should add? >> We don't have anything. I'm sorry. Um this probably crosses over it's not needed but there's nothing I don't think about you know like student develop >> the board that's more district goals >> yeah um >> I forget we did last year >> yeah the board goals are very these are aligned like if you look at other districts and you know being on Mount Lake board ours are sort of in line with what they have um because they usually need the you know the >> Yeah. district um we could have you know the district goals are below um you know >> yeah I threw those in there. >> Yeah. Do you want to talk about those?
032I I I open this up for um the court goals but happy to talk district after we talk. Was that just adding I was saying that earlier? >> Yeah. >> Maybe pick up or mirror some of that links district. >> Um, yeah. I think one of the things I thought from a district standpoint, yeah, I think if we have something that mirrors maybe their articulation >> goal >> horizontal vertical >> horizontal and vertical articulation >> um it's it's meant when they asked like the vertical would be looking at like one subject all the way through like different grades like coming through. I think that's that's the way they articulated vertical and horizontal might be more broad like PD for >> horizontal would be across grade level >> across grade level sorry thank you I did
033ask that question so it's different grade levels and verticals within one grade one what subject grade >> could you could you read >> yeah I'll read uh increase horizontal and vertical articulation practices and outcomes outcomes among staff members in the Mount Lake school district and between the staff members of the district with Rockaway Valley School for structured professional collaboration opportunities. >> I like >> So it's Yeah, I think we should definitely there. >> Yeah, absolutely. I thought the same. >> Is that a board? >> That is a districtal. >> Sorry, the district goal. >> So, but that's going to be we'll talk district in a second and Mr. Pini's got some district goals at the bottom, but from a board goal standoint, they don't have an articulation goal board. I mean we could we years
034ago we could put that but I don't think >> so last year that's right last year we had we had a new superintendent new administration so we had a lot of goals about supporting we had a lot of goals we had like six goals so I was trying to keep it to like uh yeah >> did we do the the referendum one was that a vision >> well I think it's wrapped in the faces it's wrapped in the facilities to say let's get breathing facilities and come up. That's what it was. >> Yeah. I was looking at last last school year's thing and that Yeah, that goal kind of hits. >> It's well written because it says referendum without saying referendum. >> Yeah. >> Say we're going to look at which is what you need
035to do. Facilities need to come up with what what do we need? >> Yes. So that was our goal. Goal number one last year and then goal number two was support mother and Connecticut progress of the six five year strategic plan. We have a goal in there that's embellishing that. >> Yeah. Three was success successfully negotiators have received that check. We know there's nothing else to do right now for that. Uh complete the main steps to earn NJPS board certification work but we've upgraded that now they currently are supporting the certification. So we've got that uh provide zoom network support and needed for a successful transition. um we can continue that or that's just a given we're going to keep doing that even if we don't put there but we did that and for year
036one for because that was high priority then plan to appreciate negotiate with PTA that we're um guess working through that right now we can you can do a quick update we can do a quick I haven't heard Yeah. So that's uh that's something. So let me go one by one really really quick. We can go through the wording and just see if we're good and then we fix. But the first one is um >> what I I had foster uh constituent involvement and increased communication to improve engagement with the district and community. And I think we've been you folks are good with that word. >> Okay. Um then support, monitor, and communicate the progress of the district's 5year strategic plan. I think that's okay. So I think we're good with that. And then um Grace
037had a good update on three, which is reevaluate. And then I think we can make it real time here. Reevaluate, implement a plan to best meet the districts. Is that right? Y >> districts. >> Thank you, Chris. I can see you >> districts long range facility safety and infrastructure needs. Right. need to develop a multi-year plan to create flexible and innovative education spaces and address foundational facility needs. >> Is that what? >> Okay. All right. Perfect. >> Um and then continue training to achieve car I like the Carol. A lot of boards don't have that. The I like that we're looking to continue ourselves >> board members. So we were one of the first, not the first. >> And as Barry keeps pointing out, we might be the first to get it twice. when it
038was just a few districts really >> five or something. >> Yes. >> Do we need like do we need a motion to approve that or if we're good with this? >> Do we want to put >> to do what we want to approve our goals? >> Do we want to add this one? >> Then you can always put it on for the next meeting. >> Oh, we're sorry. >> I was just suggesting ceptual read continue board training to achieve Carol E. Larson certification and provide ongoing education training and mentorship for new incoming board. >> I'll I'll copy it and put it in. Sorry Lauren mattering. >> Yeah. So I think yeah I think that's a good idea. We can circulate this final wording with all with you all and with the understanding that will be
039on the next meeting and Okay. And the fact that we don't approve it tonight will not stop us from working towards those goals. >> That's right. I'm good. that I'll circulate for you on the next. Excellent. Thank you for doing that. >> All right. Perfect. And then uh Mine, if you want to go through the district goals, that's probably something >> the district develops, right? >> Remember, we're under old business. Is that technically business? >> Well, you talked about under about pre-establishing district. And >> I did once upon a time. I said I wanted we wanted to do both as soon as possible. I I just wanted to give this routine the update. >> It's up to you if you want. Yeah. I mean, it's up to you if you want. >> Unless you don't
040want to talk about it. >> No, I I I'd like to share because I was looking at uh the first district goal and I found that it was more receptive where like we're talking about more communication and transparency with the community. So, I changed it just a little bit to have more uh expressive. So that would stay that would be like opportunities for us to receive information and opportunities for parents to be involved in the school or communicate with the school but also opportunities for us to uh disseminate information like that newsletter that William brought up. I think that's a great idea and in addition to that have other more power presentations and um you know links on your website about you know what RTI is and the difference between four and I so on
041and so forth different um math courses and all that stuff. So, I changed the first one and I I think there was something else about that one. Um, oh yeah, consistently uh articulate current school and district programs and information not to have it just you know at the end of the year just on a consistent basis once a month like I said with these newsletters and things of that nature. Um, any questions or anything like that on that on that first one? No, and just like the board, we can take a look at these, you know, noodle on them and put them on the agenda for the next one and we can talk about them more. But I thought if you just want to have some quick thoughts, >> just quick Yeah, for sure. Um,
042yeah, these are the first times you're you're hearing it, so you can blow them over and then we can talk about more. Um, and then I did um a little bit of adjustments. Number two, I didn't want to just redo all the goals because I really felt like that that was a work in progress. And obviously, you know, I started after this beginning of the school year. So, I thought it was appropriate to kind of like adjust it to meet the needs of the school and where I am at in this position. And I included the word inclusive education, which that could mean anything as far as like um equity and special needs and things of that nature. So I said to create an inclusive educational environment and utilize data so on and so forth.
043Um and then on the third one I did something more specific that kind of was reflective of my partnership with Brad and what we're going to be doing for the funnel year as far as articulation of curriculum professional development and doing uh those uh presentations the joint presentations. And questions >> with the bullet number three. Yeah. The last bullet. Would that be the one closest to the >> It is. Yeah. >> We can just kind of blend the two. Um, the one that had missing from this grass >> that hole you was read >> the horizontal and the vertical >> and the diagonal. Well, excuse what we had to develop a meaningful collaboration with Rockway Valley School Bo Township in an effort to align educational program and other school systems that promote coherence for students,
044staff members and families in the region. >> No, just bring my notes real quick. It was was to increase horizontal and vertical articulation practices and outcomes among staff members of Mount Lakes District and between staff members of the district walkable Rockway Valley School through structured professional collaboration opportunities. I think they were close. >> Yeah, they are. >> Um >> covers more >> which I think is okay. Fine. >> I think the idea spirit is that they're close, right? And that the the two districts are working together. But I I it can be one could be they can have more narrow focus. Maybe we have a broader focus. >> How did they refer to us?
