Mr. Hubler, >> here. >> Miss Cahain. Mr. Stall >> here. >> Mr. Staley here. Mrs. Teas >> here. >> Miss Van Hton, we have a quorum. >> Thank you. Um, we do not have a student representative this evening. Um, and we do not have any presentations. Um, president's remarks. Uh, we are looking forward to the end of the year and we hope everyone has a great summer. Uh, congratulations to our almost graduating class of 2026. Uh, Dr. Seavoya, communication.
004Okay. None. >> Okay. Um, public participation on agenda items. >> Uh, Dr. Seavoya, superintendent report. >> Okay. Very brief, just a few things. I I need to keep uh highlighting the fact that we are one of the three districts, Mountain County, get to get the high impact tuning grant. It's being expanded upon for the summer. We're posting. We're moving along. There's a few bullets about it, but a br a boot camp for uh essay writing, a bridge program for freshmen. Very excited about it. Um and there's an infographic that you can just take a look at. Um the ACUPPLACER boot camp uh ran in conjunction with Brookdale Community College, was very successful. I think you know if take you back a little bit, it was eight seniors that took advantage of it during May and
005June, and these students were attending Brookdale were placed in remedial classes. So if they improved their score um they did not need to take that class um in September. Um and believe it or not, I'd say that most of us know that those classes in college, you know, those nonredit bearing courses are costly. So just a couple highlights. Um we have the uh replacement, the leave replacement for next year that we have Miss Hen on the uh agenda to approve the senior academic awards. I I just linked the program for you. No new HIB. We do have our burrow articulation meeting tomorrow. Um I've had great dialogue with Hector Herrera. I'm very hopeful, as I've said previously, about our relationship with the burrow. Um in fact, uh he had somebody email me to let me
006know they're working on uh Jackson Street uh at this the um drainage. Um I actually invited him also to show him something at the central school on his way in today. Um so I'm very hopeful that, you know, this relationship is going to continue well, but we do have an articulation meeting there tomorrow. Um let's see. Uh we have two meetings tomorrow night. We have goal one and goal two if I'm not incorrect. >> Correct. >> Okay. And then um I didn't put this on uh the agenda for approval yet, but I'm going to be uh producing a substitute called call or drop description. So I'll talk a little bit about that more over the summer. And then really it's just the dates that you have all in your um calendars. However, just to highlight
007some of them um it's going to be a great couple of days and uh Junth come down to the waterfront. I'm personally reading the Eman Emancipation Proclamation. >> Thank you. >> Oh, a substitute caller job description. >> Okay. >> Um, Mr. Rapola, board secretary, buildings and grounds and finance. >> Uh, just some brief comments. If you remember at the uh budget presentation, um some of the slides had to do with the increase in insuranceances and uh we spoke to like the 30% increase in health insurance, but we're also talking about property casualty and workers comp projected to go up uh I believe it was 13 to 16% at the time. I don't have it in front of me right now. Uh however we also mentioned uh that we make use of uh GIF's uh joint
008insurance funds. We uh have better bargaining power by joining up with with many uh other school districts. So this actually happens to be uh some good news. Uh we did receive our final estimates for the uh property and casualty insurance. instead of going up 13 to 16%. Uh it's actually going down uh 3%. Uh however, I mean it's not there's no bad news in this. It's all good. Uh but in order to get that um we needed to switch our carriers for uh workers comp insurance, which is why reason I'm bringing this up right now is that I'm trying to explain motion uh 10.4. Motion 10.4 four is uh motion needs to be passed in order for us to use the school alliance insurance fund for the workers comp insurance. Uh we are we're currently
009using uh school alliance fund or the what we call the safe for everything else but we we had switched a couple years our workers comp a couple years ago because we were getting a better deal by uh going with the other insurance group. Uh however, now this safe is offering us a better uh better rates. Uh so we're making that switch back and that's 10.4. Uh so on 10.1 you see us approving our 26 27 rates. Uh 10.4 is the motion uh of making the switch and the rest is just approving some grants and uh some donations. Um, so 8.1 to 10.9. Um, it's actually uh going to be on one second. Our insuranceances are going from we paid 389,000 currently going to 378. So, it's dropping $11,000. However, the good that I mean, that's
010good enough, but we were projecting a like 30 to $40,000 increase in those lines. Uh, that money's going We're already upside down in some other areas. Uh, yeah, it's it's going to end up getting transferred during next year. I make the motion. >> Second. >> Mrs. Abrahamson. >> Yes. >> Miss Cunningham. >> Yes. >> Mr. Vopoulos. >> Yes. >> Mr. Ubler. >> Yes. >> Mr. Stall. >> Yes. >> Mr. Staley. >> Yes. >> M. Teas. >> Yes. Motions passed. >> Thank you. Um Dr. Seavoya, curriculum, personnel, and policy. >> We have um Miss Kane's on her way, just to let you know. And I did make a faux paw earlier. I said that the the job description was not on there to be approved. It is. I don't know why I said that. I apologize.
011Um for curriculum personnel, hold on a second. Sorry. Curriculum uh suballer as I said previously, remote instruction plan. That's something that we need to do. Remember, we can only go into a remote instruction plan if we're uh out for 3 days or more. Um I don't really see districts doing it, but it is a mandatory uh submission. Uh we have a substitute for a high impact uh the high impact tutoring program that I discussed in the beginning. Um personnel, let's say the nurse for ESY, but the BIA contract. Um Spangler and Covert as subcustodians, which is great. We could always use those. Miss Romanuts for summer planning. Uh Miss Hen for the replacement intervention position. And then we have the second reading for all of the board policies. >> Thank you. So we need a
012motion for 11.1 to 13.1. >> Motion. >> Second questions. Let me see this >> a caller >> substitute job caller job description. We have somebody who um works in the district to make sure that if ASOP is not update ASOP's updated to make sure that they coordinate the nursing um what you call it the nursing substitutes. um they work with Josie to make sure that the days are um labeled correctly, things to that capacity. Okay. Goes to our our list if as if somebody doesn't pick up a job, it also goes to out um third parties. >> I have a question, too. How come we have to be out for three days in order to do remote instruction? >> It's the state of New Jerseyy's requirement. It's right written in the plan as such. Um
013they don't count a snow day as that. They said it's three consecutive days. I could get you if you'd like I can send you the um statute on it just so that you know. >> I'm just curious like why there wouldn't be some more wiggle room like I know one of the districts up north needed to do it because they had the water um >> it's been ongoing >> issues and whatnot but like if you're making the school year longer and they can only go until a certain date. >> Nobody's been in that position yet. They've all been able to modify their calendar. Superintendent have definitely been advocating for that. Um I do say to to be very candid, I think it would be a challenge as it was during COVID um to get some
014of those um instruments in those children's hands because again we're not we're one to one in the district. So I think that there's obstacles. Obviously in person is the way to go. Right. Right. >> Um but that that's the state of New Jersey the way they outline it. It's it's something that we've advocated for to change because it's really would be an anomaly like we had the ceiling collapse or something such as that where we could you know if definitively in a high school situation where those kids do take them home you know it just gives you a lot of flexibility but they are very strict as to what that entails and how long that needs to be >> because I was almost thinking like when we had the electric issue in the central school
015could we still like not that we want their days to be different but could we have done it something where they were all remote and then >> we have done that like when we did when we did that with with um the ceiling. We did have the high school get out different than the central school did, but again for us that that MDF being down, we had no internet here either. So it you know, but again if you had them one to one, you're right. Maybe we could have gone virtual for one of the buildings and not the other. >> Right. I'm just thinking like out loud. >> Yeah, fair enough. It's just something that's been up for debate and the state has not budged on it quite candidly. Okay. probably. >> Any other questions?
016>> Mr. Roll call, please. >> Mrs. Abrahamson. Yes, >> Miss Cunningham. >> Yes, >> Mr. Papopoulos. >> Yes, >> Mr. Hubler. >> Yes, >> Mr. Stall. >> Yes, Mr. Staley. >> Yes, >> Mrs. Teas. >> Yes. >> Motions pass. >> Thank you. Uh, old business, new business. >> Mr. >> Thank you, Madam President. Um, I just wanted to chat about really quick about Jackson Street. First, I wanted to get some clarification. When when we first when when I first came on and we started talking about it, there was someu confusion about who owned what. Let's My understanding is that we definitively Tony found out that it we own everything adjacent to the basketball court and the burrow owns everything past that towards Broad Street. Okay. So, with regards to everything uh adjacent to the basketball
017court, have we thought has has the administration thought about ab not abandoning that? I mean, it's our property, so it's already abandoned. Now, is there any of that property that uh Mammoth County Vocational District owns? Because there was also a question about that. >> Yeah. Yeah. deed over by an by a resident actually. Yeah. Right. It doesn't matter. But so what part of the what part of the street is theirs? >> Okay. So where the street stops, where the drain they just dug up is past there towards their building is theirs. Understood? That makes sense because it's adjacent to their building. So, has the administration thought about making that not a road anymore? Because it's really not other than fire, it's really not useful as a road and making it a uh another play court.
018Not necessarily fencing it in, especially if there's not um especially if they need to get in there for fire, right? >> What's the look for? >> No, we you know, I'm processing. I'm trying to remember. Um, no. I'm thinking about how it could be done. Actually, that's what I'm thinking about is how it can be done because if you had to walk around there, I don't know that it's conducive to getting over there. I mean, conceivably, >> I don't know if you can you picture it. We're not putting any fencing up. We're actually getting rid of the road, raising it up, putting a curb at the end where the where the basketball courts end. >> Yeah. >> Where our property ends. >> Yeah. >> Just making it just making it a little courtyard. remember at
019our meeting I had brought that up because I'm pretty sure this was discussed somewhere at some point. That's why when you're saying it um because I had said to her I said we were talking about parking that you know the whole parking situation spots etc. And I said well we >> we would never make that parking because we were talking about possibly making it not even a street anymore >> right >> so like I it was a discussion somewhere at some point I don't remember the specifics because I think it was like a aha moment and then it kind of dissipated. >> Yeah. I don't think we've ever talked about it Dennis. I mean, and I don't know that we can't, but I know that we've decided to not take like the recreation grant and
020do the turf on the uh big playground out there only because of the 2.1 we have in there. So, we could explore it, but we just would have to assess what the cost would be to maybe take that up and and put grass or something like that. >> Well, that's not what I'm Go ahead. >> Yeah. I mean, if >> Yeah. >> And we did communicate with the burrow when they indicated that um Jackson Street was on there, the big pond. Um and they we said, "Please, if you're going to pave that, please contact us. Let us know what our our obligation would be so that we don't create the same havoc in in that little house and division with the you know, one side paved in one not. >> We need to remember to
021ask tomorrow at the meeting to see if they were able to get pricing because it's on the list to be completed by Labor Day." >> Yes. So go ahead. >> I know that we have a parking crisis kind of that's even going to get worse. So why would we not consider making it parking? >> I think in I think in my mind what I'm looking at is the the ingress and eress of parking. If you're you know you can't angle park it. >> You can't you you know there's no room to really navigate through a making it you're just going to have you know front to back parking like on like street parking there and that's not really going to be >> since you're bringing that up Dennis a good a good question or a
022thought process that I have guys is remember we when we walked around we've had several articulation meetings where they were considering having uh union and a division and Osborne as you know uh permit parking only then the burrow owns a piece of property at the corner of Hurley over there so when you're talking about parking that's kind of where my head goes to I'm not uh negating what you brought up. >> Um they talked about putting some spots at the end of the street there. Um I was pretty passionate with the chief and said that I really would prefer if you don't just do that because the central school parking is a premium. They did indicate that conversation indicated that you know there's more uh people. We have less teachers and less students than we've
023had. Um, so it became some kind of a a complaint about somebody who lived there, which started the whole thing. And then the conversation morphed into what the apartments are now doing, charging for second parking spots, which then made Atlantic not available for staff as well, which then made a division and am I saying Osborne correctly, that the two streets there um filled up. So, we've had a lot of good dialogue about it and and the burrow was supposed to be going back to the owner of the apartment complex to see if they could work with them. So now when we say parking, Tony and I did all walk around and it is something for the board to consider that I was going to bring up at the policy tomorrow, but we're only working on
024the retreat. So this is a good opportunity. We own all of the parking spots that are behind the board office the way the properties outlied and there's about 20 spots there because we did talk to the burrow and we said, "Hey, let's take a look around. What could we do?" Um, we could do one of two things as a board of education. you could do is a we could meet with those businesses and charge them a monthly amount to use those parking spots or we could then in turn open that up for staff only um and and have a conversation. So, one of the policy meetings that I would love to talk about is that and student parking because some people have asked me about that too. So now I digress and I go back
025to that dead end area and say that to get out of there even when you have the whole move to to pick up and drop off, you're not going to get more than maybe a spot on each side down there and then you're kturning it out using it as Dennis said, you know, as an administration in some capacity for the school. That's a conversation we could have. I I'm not opposed to that. >> I mean, if we were to ever which we won't ever get rid of the the basketball courts that would open up working. But um that's all right. Keep going. Go ahead. Go ahead. Well, I I just want to It's all right. I just want to finish my thought out. Right. So, if we're going to keep the basketball courts, then that
026area there would like in my mind from, you know, what is the best use for the school uh would serve best as a courtyard because if we pave it, we're not going to use it as a we're not going to use it. parking and people aren't going to people aren't using that road to drive over to Atlantic Street. So it doesn't So in my mind it makes more sense to have it as just a even if we were to put a curb at the end and then put blacktop over the existing black top, right? And just put macadam over it just to raise it up and make it a courtyard. Now anything it can be anything of use for the school even if like say And I hate to digress to the Knicks, but because
027the Knicks won the championship, basketball inev invariably is and will become more popular over the next year or more if they're a dynasty. And um I love that. And basketball, the basketball courts right there are are they're in need of repair a little bit, but they're of use. And you can put a little it can be a gathering place forever one-on- ones and whatever. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> So, I mean, if there was, you know, we could put little we can put benches there. It it can even be like outside. It can be much more than just a useless paved road, right? I'm thinking more or less in terms of the highest and best use for that area. And I've always thought about it. And now that we've established that it
028is ours, there might be an opportunity to not that's not to say don't fill the potholes, >> right? >> The pond, you mean? Yes. >> Right. Right. That's not to say to take care not take care of that until we get it done. >> But let's just before we do, let's just think about it as a board. What is the highest and best use? And if we determine that it is a road, you know, I can be convinced, but I'm not today. So, I'm sorry. Thank you, >> Tony. >> I just literally just, you know, again, >> do the kids play pickle ball? it it no and here's where >> I think the paving >> but I do digress back to that a little bit because we did decide not to put the turpp in
029the big playground because it was going to be a couple hundred,000. So I'm not saying it's not a good no idea is a bad idea, but I would if I if we were going to spend the $200,000 I'd rather accept the the recreation grant and turf that playground so the wood chips never have to be there again. That would be my preference, but again, you set the price. >> I agree. It would have to take some, you know, take some doing financially, but >> charge them for those parking spots behind the office. No, I'm just kidding because I think there should be teacher parking. That was my idea, but >> that's a great idea. Teacher parking. It's a great idea. How many how many Okay, so thank you. >> 22 and all. >> Oh, that's
030>> it's tons of parking. I said, who's who belong like why who parks back there? Like, who's this? And they said it was ours. And I said, "So then we need to a charge money for it because we need money or b it needs to become teacher parking." >> Yeah. >> I agree. >> And uh I hear us saying that teacher parking is where we want to explore. So Mr. Rapole and I now know a direction we can go in. Good good conversation. >> And I was just going to say I know some students park back there too that get here late because >> if they get caught, they do get kicked out, but yes, I do some try to sneak in there. But that's >> because there's no other place for them to park.
031>> Understood. And that's why I just even said to uh I don't know if you were sitting there back. Sorry. Um, we talked about talking about student parking because it really should be Jackson Street Field is where they do park. It really should be. Um, so if we're going to make one, we're gonna have to be careful about that. >> I understand that. That's the fight that Mr. Jennifer, that is the fight I had with um, Chief Ferm because I go, would I go, should I run a shuttle every morning? They wanted to park down there. >> They wanted teachers to park down there. >> They did. Understood. which is why we don't have a student parking policy. >> I >> that's been talked about. >> I will go back 10 years and tell it
032show you the board resolution where I got voted down on that. It was $100,000 to pave that back. >> Okay. So then we have Miss Abrahamson and then Mr. Hubler. >> You had a you wanted to say something. >> Okay. Mr. Hubler. >> My only concern with losing that space in six to eight spots, whatever it may be, is that afternoon pickup because it's >> Yeah. heavily traveled and there's just there's not enough room out front on Broad Street. >> Yep. >> It >> everywhere. >> It's a blind spot. Yeah. >> How do they how do they navigate that? >> It's a free-for-all. >> No, the >> You know what? They have a little like I think it's kind of like um when we didn't have assigned parking at the high school. I think it's
033kind of like squatting rights kind of thing. People establish who's going to go there, get their kids there each time, and they have a whole little unofficial process. >> There's there's a tribal to it. You get there, you know, 2:30 or something like that. >> You have to get there half hour early. >> What do you do? You turn in, you turn in to the the and then back in. >> Or you have to just pull in and then you have to figure out how to turn out of it. >> Yeah. >> But that's really the younger grades because kindergarten is over there. So like they park where their children are. So it's >> Yeah. >> So we're not talking Jackson, we're talking the we're talking the road into Central. >> We're talking about your
034road right here. >> A lot of the kindergarten parents park. >> Yeah. They walk through the little gate section and then those doors right there are all the kindergarters where they go in. >> Okay. >> So, any other comments, questions on Jackson Street? Right. Yes. That's what I forgot for a second what we were talking about. Jackson Street. >> I would just say in the future I think we should revisit paving the grass section for parking. >> It was talked about at um burough articulation as not it was an suggestion of why couldn't we take that and make it parking spaces back here. >> Raider >> looks beautiful now. They did a great job fixing it. Yes. Thank you, Mr. Collins. >> So, there's lots of discussion. It's not a one-sizefits-all answer, and I think
035it's going to truly depend on what the bureau decides to make the new parking rules around the school. Because if it is 9:00 a.m. to 300 p.m. resident parking only, they will be able to drop students will be able to be dropped off by their parents on those streets, but teachers can't park there because as of 9:00 a.m., no cars can be parked. So, if they take those two streets away, >> we've got a problem. >> Then we have a problem. Then there was conversation about making Atlantic Street teacher parking. Yes. >> Permit like teacher parking essentially and only teachers could park there. >> That did not wind up going through as previously discussed. So it's something that is being circled back and talked about. So I think until we see where the burrow actually
036lands, we can't really make decisions or true calls to know where we need to truly spend our money. >> Right. And if you want to I mean because the one of the other suggestions that uh they had and I I remembered this from the ma maybe Dennis you actually could remember something in the master plan it was discussed why didn't we make a loop in front of central school and somebody said I recall a county road of some sort and there were some other things well why don't you guys just do that I said and you know what just like you you you guys need the funding too you know sure you can do anything if you have you know an extra million dollars you know to do that so we would have to assess
037that and I think my biggest challenge turned Tony and I away from accepting the recreation grant was the fact that we had over $40 million worth of list things on the long-range facilities recommendations from our architects. So that made it prioritized to me not to do the playground. Am I right to so anything we do do remember you have 2.1 in capital has to be in the long range facility plan and you have to make sure that you have approval. that that that half loop was uh actually Mike Lane's idea and it's it you know it's sort of like what they have at Middle Road School in >> Hley >> you know >> or almost all the schools in >> Hley you know >> I think it has great benefits to having it but how
038do we fund it is like the bigger question. Well, yeah. I mean, we the first thing that comes to mind is grants and we're so good at getting educational grants. Um maybe maybe there's facilities grants out there that could help. And if if you know >> Speizzel is interested in designing it, maybe they could do like what CME does and get look into grants for it. You know, CME does that for the burrow. the amount of grants for facilities and things to that capacity is a little bit more complex. The SDA, correct, Tony comes out with ROD grants and things like that. We've tried to look for a lot, but who knows? Maybe um we've actually even tried to partner years ago with the burrow in terms of they had a grant person and we
039tried to see if they could find us some grants. So, it's been a struggle to do, but if it exists, we'll apply. I can assure you of that. Um, the other thing that came to mind as you were talking is obviously if the burrow is going to eliminate parking and we are going to have to find or create parking, creating parking is going to be a cost that we can definitely ask the burrow to help with if in fact they're going to remove uh parking capabilities from us. And I think that's why they're offering that they're going to make that lot down there that will fit 12 cars >> on the Coroner Hurley and um division if I'm correct. >> That's that's a non-starter as far as I'm concerned. Right. But I mean if we
040have to we have to but I'm talking about them helping us fund paving you know grassy >> nassy. So >> definitely conversation to have. >> It's definitely conversation that we've had for the past three meetings. I know it's on the list again for tomorrow to have the conversation. Um, but some of it, well, no, that part doesn't have to be figured out. Just the paving for Jackson Street needs to be figured out before they actually do that. And we did ask what our cost would be, like if they could find out how much addition to >> if there was any cost to us at all and if if so, what it was prior >> because we would have to approve it to do it. Um, yes, because there's no meetings in July. So, it would
041hopefully be the very first meeting in August that we could say yes that we would be doing it. >> And you make a motion for Mr. Rapola to pay the bills. I mean, obviously, you would be communicating prior to that, but you know, we we would have that opportunity. >> Our meetings are the 5th and the 19th in August. So, hopefully we would have it before the 5th um to be able to do that. >> Mr. All contracts that we have like construction and everything we have to it's prevailing wage is it not? >> Okay. >> Even if the county is already doing that road or the town is doing that road and we were going on to that >> they they have to follow prevailing wage too. Yeah. >> Perfect. So then we won't
042be in any trouble, >> right? No. Oh yeah. Yeah. The town is Unless it's an emergency and maybe >> um any other new business >> uh Jennifer Tus and I went to the municipal alliance meeting last night and well we don't have our notes for certain dates that are coming up. There is going to be like this kite event it's called anyway >> high on life and they're going to have kites and they're going to be >> town. Yes, but they don't have an official date yet. But something's came up that I I've been learning a lot. Like most people that overdose overdose alone, like somebody will call for help, but like leave them there because they're afraid of getting in trouble. But actually in the state of New Jersey, they can't be arrested or
043in trouble for staying and calling for help. So I think people don't know that and so they leave that person to basically die alone. So, I think educating our high school students um is worthwhile. I think that they made NAR Narcan easier to administer. So, now anybody can do it. You don't need any kind of training for it. And it's basically free to get it. And so I know our nurse has it, but it it would be no cost to have every teacher in have it in their classroom. I know we don't have a major problem with this, but you never know. >> And then to have to call the nurse to come if the teacher has had in the classroom, but I just think there's other things that maybe an assembly for the students
044to educate them on certain laws and things. And I know this very sad a 16-year-old girl in Manalopin recently passed because gave her a Valium, but it was actually laced with fentanyl. So, I don't know if kids are doing that, just taking drugs pills because they think it's a prescription to them. >> Well, we have a whole protocol, but we have Miss Marietta who is also um our our sack in the district.
