001Can we all stand for the pledge, please? Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. You haven't signed in over here in the corner, would you please do so? All right. First order of business is NISBA's proposal resolutions and bylaw amend amendment suspension submission submission sorry proposed resolution and bylaw amendment submission transparency member engagement in the NISBA accazy efforts. You want you guys want to look at this? You got any discussion on it? We need to vote on it. Do we have to bring it to motion before we have discussion? I can I I can I just figure we'd have it have it looked at and everybody can have a motion. I'll make the

002move. Second. Second. Any discussion? Yes. So, the way I read this, it looks like we're asking for NISPA's board of directors to keep us informed and updated with a bi-weekly report. Is that correct? Yes. Okay. I think it's monthly right now, right? Yes. Monthly. All good. All in favor? I I I I have it. Mr. for real. Okay. So, first thing I have to give to Stacy and to Scott. This was sent to us by NISBA and it is outlining all of the things that you do for the board, all of the trainings and is just their token of appreciation for your years of service onto the board. So, that was sent to us by NISSBA. We also have, so everybody gets their we have the McKenzie yearbooks. So everybody has that as well. The

003other thing today, this morning, I went to the OCIAA um section 9 scholar athlete breakfast. So you see on the front, we actually got an award um this morning and a very nice trophy. And what the award is, and this was all Amanda Zrodic's doing um in the very nice pamphlet they or really handbook kind of the nice thing we won the award for community service events. So we are the community service challenge award winner for all of section A OCIAA. And so now we have a banner that will be up put up and we have a very nice award and that just shows us that you know yes even small schools we beat out Middletown, Monaceel, Warwick, every school district in section 9 to get this award and this is all their hard work

004for all the community service projects they do throughout the year. So, I do appreciate her work on that. Um, very quickly, cell phone ban implementation process. I have sent out two letters to the community regarding the cell phone ban for the 2526 school year. I have also included um set up meetings that parents can join. and it's all virtual meeting starting at 6:00 p.m. I have received um a few emails asking to be a part of this committee and it's not to discuss the cell phone ban. It's how to implement it. It is a state law. So we do not have really that choice unless we want to go without state aid. We don't have a choice. It is a state law just like seat belts. So, I will be hosting virtual meetings June 19th,

005June 30th, July 7th, July 17th, and July 24th. All virtual meeting starting at 6:00 p.m. We are looking at cell phone pouches. I'm talking with um Mr. Conklin for the high school. We are looking at cell phone lockers. We've got lots of different things that, you know, talk about. Also, how do parents stay in touch with their kids if there's changes? and even coaches. Um how the coaches stay in touch with the teams, you know, all these different things we're going to be talking about. Um we also have to then change our code of conduct to um put in regarding consequences for the cell phones and things like that. So we do have a lot of work to do this summer. And again, the cell phone ban goes into effect August 1st. So we have

006to have everything in place. So, if you know of anybody that would like to be on the cell phone committee, please email me. I will send you all the calendar invites and then we can rock and roll. Um, we did have really quickly um hot water heater demise at junior senior high school. So, the hot water heater, we have two and they're not residential, very large hot water heaters. I apologize. Um, one of the two hot water heaters will be replaced this summer. Right now, the project is coming under about $10,000. I think it's right around $7,000 that includes labor and parts. We will have to cut the water off in the junior senior high school for the installation. Once I have that down, it's on it's on the bigger projects of the summer project

007list. I will let make sure the summer staff know that track has been lined. It has been curing. We are continue to ask for people to not go on the track in order to make sure it's completely cured. So, we do have signs up there saying to stay off the track until the 21st. We are going to hold if the weather holds, we are going to hold graduation up there. So, the graduation for the class of 2025 will be on the new field. So, we're Mr. Cochland is planning all of that and we will make sure that um everything is set up accordingly and you know protect the field make sure everything's but we've ordered chairs and stages and stuff just to make sure it doesn't mess up the track. We've taken care of that.

008So and then um that pretty much cuz we're going to celebrate 10ear retirement at the end. So that concludes my report. Thank you. Any questions from the board from Miss? All good. Moving on. Secondary principal report. Okay, thank you very much. Um, so first I want to if I don't get a chance to later, congratulations on all the retirements and tenure appointments tonight uh from me. Job well done and enjoy retirement for both of you and the tenure appointments. Congratulations. Um, I also want to thank uh Connor White and Autumn Walsh who are student board uh representatives this year. They're also co-presidents of uh the student council. Um, Connor is our validictorian who's sitting right next to me right now. Connor, wait for me if you want. Um, I also, um, I got to celebrate,

Conor, Connor's attending Yale University in the fall. So, uh, best of luck. So, a couple other things. Uh, the academic awards ceremony for the junior senior high school is held on, uh, June 2nd. We recognize members of the national junior honor society and the national honor society and mu alphatheta which is the math honor society. We also recognize students who achieved honor role high honor role and the principal list. Congratulations to all those students. Um congratulations to our band and core students for competing in NISMA recently. Um we had the scholar athlete breakfast as Miss Farah mentioned today and I want to honor those that

010the male and female that we had uh recognizing scholar athletes. We had Alexis Frederick's and Payeyton Brler. So that was a great breakfast this morning to honor them. Um regions testing, we offered the new geometry regions exam uh yesterday, June 11th, um to about I think it was about 22 students. Our remaining region exams are going to be administered from June 20 June 17th to June 26th. And we're sending all of Regent exams to Premier Assessment Services uh for grading. We also had a freshman kickoff informational night which we kind of started uh I think it was last year we started this but it was on Thursday June 5th. This is our most well attended freshman kickoff. And the purpose behind this was to have parents and and students come in uh that are heading

011into freshman year to kind of tell them that you know it's high school now. It's transcripts. It's credits. It's you know courses. So uh we find that it's very important to explain that. Um and it was well attended. So thank you to everybody who came out. We had the senior walk yesterday at GRM. That was uh Wednesday, June 11th. A lot of fun going over GRM. Mr. Carpenter was uh moving around with the speaker behind his back and you know playing the music. So, it was a lot of fun. Uh I will be attending the career technical vote graduation on Tuesday, June 24th. And the class of 2025 commencement ceremony is Friday, June 27th, 6:00 p.m. on the football field. Looking very forward to that. So, and that's my concludes my report. Thank you, Mr.

Sorry. Time. I'm surprised Mr. Conquer went first this time. Hello. Okay. So, as for uh sports in the school, um both softball and baseball did very well this year. They both made it to regionals. Um, speaking on the academic awards night, um, Malfatheta inducted three new members, National Honor Society inducted four new members, and the National Junior Honor Society inducted a very large 12 new members this year. Um, for art club, we they were working on murals throughout the year. So, we had it was one middle schooler and two high schoolers, and they completed a total of three murals this year

013for the high school. So, if you see them around, that was their work. Um the interact club had a uh done some letter plucking so they had done that. And then for music as you mentioned the uh middle school band, high school band and chorus all received silver at NISMA which represents excellent. So good job to all of them. That concludes my report. Thank you. Very good. Any questions? All good. Mr. Kier, sorry. My bad. How? Uh so again, congratulations to all those receiving tenure and their retirements and celebrating those retirements. It's a job well done. Um so our attendance fell a little short of our ultimate goal this year of 95%. We ended at 92.87%. Um I've just had discussions with my counseling team um to bring back to our action teams uh ideas

014that we can improve attendance. And some quick ideas that they've come up with already is that we're going to possibly run clubs in the morning and not just the afternoon to get kids uh there and excited for their club and then be there at school. So, we'll have that in the morning as well as developing a plan for daily attendance shoutouts for those classrooms that have perfect attendance. We'll give a little shout out at the end of the day and we'll keep track of those number of shoutouts and when they reach a certain threshold, they'll go that class will gain a reward. Uh academically, uh at GRM, we're looking forward to having Read 180 be utilized in the 811 classroom next year. Teachers are um going to get professional development on read 180 at the

015end of the last week of school this year and then they'll be able to implement it uh the first week of school as we start in September. Uh the action teams developed new ideas for next school year and our final final leadership team meeting is in two weeks for MTSS. Uh we had our spring con concert and kindergarten celebration last week. We have the faculty association putting on a school barbecue down in Circle Park on Monday. Hopefully the weather holds out for us. Um it's always a fun event. Our sixth graders are coming to the junior senior high school um to meet their teachers as well as Mr. Conklin and the guidance team uh on June 18th. We have our award assembly on June 23rd uh during the school day. And on June 24th, our

016sixth graders will have their moving up at GRM. And that concludes my report. Thank you, Mr. Grump. Do you have any questions? Moving on. Director of structural support, Mr. Krebs. All right, Mr. Hock and members of the board. Um, we're completing our orders for the 2526 school year. Caleb and I have been working on programs and uh making sure that we are within budget for this next coming school year. Same thing with our professional development needs for 2526. Um, let the board know that we've completed our nicest lap testing for the school year. We also had two students in prek that were tested in um niceel to determine whether or not services would be needed for those uh students for next year. Um we completed our substantial equivalency review for Homestead to determine that they

017have since uh met all the requirements that they're very similar in their educational makeup as a uh public school. So that was uh completed about uh a week ago I think it was. We got the notification back from that. And the last thing is is that we have been piloting um for uh both schools a AI platform for next year and uh we'll know probably in the next couple of weeks how that's going. We had a pilot with those uh three programs till the end of the school year. A survey will go out to our staff that are using that to see which one best meets our needs. And that's all I have to share with you. Thank you, Mr. Crebs. Any questions for the board? Mr. Russell, you're up. All right. So, I will

018try to keep the first off, thank you everybody for supporting the budget. Uh, went through 80%. So, we continue to have pretty strong support on our budget, which is always nice. Uh, we issued our bonds for the capital project. We came in at a 3.83% interest rate, which is very good. actually is a little bit better than what we've expected. Uh they had budgeted to be in the low fours, like four and a quarter. Uh we're double A3 rated, but our bonds sold at almost the same price as Chapaqua, which is AAA rated. Chapaqua got their bonds the most that's one of the most recent schools that have issued a bond. Um they got a 3.64% and we got 3.83. Um and they're AAA rated. Um so that came in very good. uh it's callable

019after 8 years. What that means is 8 years from now if interest rates go back down um we'll refinance. So uh our last bonds were at 2% but we got those bonds when interest rates were zero. So that environment doesn't exist at the moment. Um we're in the process of closing our books right now. Uh the business office is back to full staff. Everybody's back uh and things are running smoothly, but there's a lot of work that needs to get done between now and June. Uh, as Tracy had alluded to, the capital project is coming nearing completion. On Friday, we have a walkth through for the track to go through, make sure everything was done there. Um, Tracy had pointed out the boilers were going to be about 7,000, the hot water heater. Uh, there's

020also we got a quote for the um water filtration system that we had discussed that's on that $100,000 capital project that came in lower so we might be able to do get some other work done in the building. So, that came in at 29,500 is the quote we have for that. Um, so we may be able to do something with these doors or we're going to have to discuss what we can stretch that 70,000 with, but we did uh in the resolution mentioned that it could be for doors, security, or floors. So, we have a couple options um to be done here. Uh for year-end projections, last year, I had hoped we would fall between 100 and 200. I think that's where we're going to land this year. We would have landed there last year

021had it not been for like a clawback of um that transportation lease money. So, I'm thinking we're going to put about $200,000 into the bank net um for the 2425 year. Uh we only have 2 weeks left, so there's not a lot of expenditures to go out uh uh anything else is getting done in the in the summer. Um and that's all I have for this report. Perfect. Any questions? Thank you, Caleb. Couple things. Thank you for the budget vote. Obviously, from what Kale said, it went through by 80%. I always feel great that night after it goes through. That's always a big thing. Uh congratulations to all the retirees. Thank you for all the hard work you've done over the years to make this place for what it is today. And for the 10ear

022people coming up, I wish you a lot of luck and keep it going. Uh we had a dinner here for the athletic for the uh athletes and I just want to elaborate on it. It was catered I believe by Port Jervis Pizza. Yes. And it was over 200 people that attended it. Happened right here and we had Tammy Reese and her and her basketball team come back and they were here and we went off with a really good hit. I thought it was a lot of people. I got a lot of uh good things the next day about it and uh I thought I thought it went off well and everybody enjoyed it and my and the thanks have to go to Amanda Zuric and Lisa Marie Drew. Whenever something like this is going on,

023there's always a main person that does it, but Lisa Marie Drew is always in the background making sure things get done. So, Uh, I think that's all I have. I do have something on new business, but I'm going to bring it up right now. We need to put no smoking signs up at these fields. I am sick and tired of sitting at ball games and watching people walk down through the bushes, down to their cars. Go to the cemetery. Nobody's going to complain over there about it. Go smoke over there. Okay. Don't smoke here because it's a no smoking facility. Yes. And I'm sick and tired of seeing it. I go to the ball games. I watch it. I don't say anything because it's not my place, but people do. But we need more signs

024on it. And they have more of a leg to stand on. When they see this, say, "Look at the sign. Stop." Yep. That is my report. At this time, I will take public comment on the consent agend agenda items only. All good. And at this time, I will move on to approval of consent items. Motion to approve consent items 5.01 through 8.09. I need a motion. Motion by Kristen. Second. I'll second. Second by Stacy. Any discussion? All good. Take a vote. All in favor? I. Done. any old business to to come before the board. New business. I see what I had to say on a new business. So, we're all good. Go for it. So, we're going to have a little celebration. I'll start with the retirees because I know they want to be done

025first. So, in no particular order, I do have to talk. You know, Cheryl, she literally skipped her retirement letter to me. Huge smile. Could not be more ecstatic. Never seen a smile like that. But literally, she was skipping, running. I was like, "Okay, she's very glad." Amazing special ed teacher, 27 years. Okay. 26 26 I I was get you know but you will be missed. You are definitely a strength and a just a presence in the elementary school. So we appreciate all of your work and all of your service. [Applause] [Music] Then I have Jackie, master teacher of her craft. Why I've been here third grade I used to en you know I would go into her classroom and it was just this buzz of the kids doing just different things very independent very you

026know they controlled exactly what they did and she was just a present she was a facilitator she was an instructional leader just the years of what you did for the building you will sorely be missed as well 30 years so impressive But again, master teacher, master of craft, and I appreciate your years of service and a phenomenal dresser, by the way. [Applause] Congratulations. Thank you. And last but not least, [Music] Miss Faith Borch. I don't know if it was a partner in crime or a partnership and collaboration. Again, while I've been here, she has been working handinand with her first grade partner, Miss Sheridan Counts. So again, you know, master teacher cared about kids first. They were always willing to improve their craft. And again, I'm not sure if it was a m, you know,

027partnership in crime, her partnership in, you know, I always first grade, I always knew it was under control with Sheridan in Faith. 26 years, 28 all together. 28 all together. And you will also be missed for your years of service. And I do know that the um retirement party is friends themed for you. So, I know y'all will have fun. So, thank you so much for your years of service. I appreciate I'll picture before I get yelled at. Now, we start on the next generation in no particular order. So I have Miss Aaron Cutner with Miss Aaron Cutner or startup and I always have to remind myself there are some people that are born to be elementary teachers. I was not. I was born to be a high school social studies teacher. She was born

028to be a kindergarten teacher. her presence in the classroom. And the fact is every time I went in there and there's little bodies and they're everywhere and she is just calm and just walking around. So she gets tenure tonight. Welld deserved. Soon to have her own little future kindergartener. We're excited to have another one. So come on up here. We got Miss Casey. Miss Casey V. Come on. So she's second grade. One of the calmst voices. I go into her classroom just calm and craftiest. Her classroom I think is on Pinterest. probably has his own Instagram account. Not yet. Not yet. Okay. But she is also one of those teachers that were that was born to teach elementary school, you know, which I can appreciate. So, congratulations on your team. Then we have Ryan Ward.

029Again, no particular order. I'm just grabbing things. High energy. which you have to be in middle school. He definitely brings the middle school experience, the middle school energy to our junior senior high school and a lot of energy to the football field. So, come on down, Ryan. [Music] Congratulations. There you go. Yes. You're welcome. Tina, there she is. Music teacher. First of all, I'm always amazed that somebody can teach fourth graders recorders and come back the next day. So, I always enjoy stepping into a classroom. I music is one of my passions. It was one of the reasons I went to college, but I decided to keep music as a passion, not as a career. So, I always enjoy going in her classroom. I It just reminds me of the love that I had for

030my music teachers, my band programs, things like that. Um, she has definitely grown that music program at the elementary school. We are seeing that growth at the high school. So, we appreciate all of her work. And I just want to say congratulations and to many more years being our with our music program. We have Zoe. See one year music program. We got a proposal. Now we have we try to keep on those proposal baby. We got everything. All right. Christine, where is she? Ah, there she is. with her again. Special ed teacher and special ed teachers are special people. They have this affinity to deal with challenging behaviors from anybody, child, adult, parent, it doesn't matter. Christine has this affinity. She loves dealing with challenging behaviors. She is a perfect fit for our special ed

031program and she is constantly with Adriana with our 811 program. Um, she is just a consmate professional just as long as we don't lose her to skiing or any of the outdoors that she would rather probably be at than at school. So, but I do appreciate we got her from Long Island. It was a great addition. So, I want to congratulate Christine on her tenure. Congratulations. [Applause] Sarah Canal. She here. Yeah. All right. And then not class. Christine Newfield. If I can't find a kid in the high school, Christine's probably got them. She has created so many relationships with our kids that they gravitate to her classroom. They gravitate to her. That's such you can't teach that skill. It is just in her. So, I do appreciate that. Plus, every single basketball game, either the

032scorekeeper, the announcer, the book to shot clock. Yes. So, if you need to find her basketball game, she's there. She's always there for our kids and she's always there for us. So, I do appreciate Miss Christine Ny. There you go. All right. All right. Okay. Can't help that. Then we have two administrators gaining um tenure tonight. I will call up Dr. Bethany England who is a key team member of my admin team and it's also she is our special ed director. Um she works tirelessly for our special ed population. you know, if I have a question, she uses immediately can answer it, you know, again, and it does help. She helps me with I can't I can't list all the ways that she helps me. So, I do appreciate everything she does and she also

033gains tenure tonight. [Applause] All right, smile again. Okay, last but not least, Michael Carpenteri. [Music] Yesterday I was over at the elementary school cuz it was, you know, the class of 2025. We always take a picture on the big toy. We have to walk through the school. It's great. Um, because it was a Wednesday. His special talent, if you did not know, is to say hump day. He says it over the intercom and you could just hear all the kids in all the classroom dying laughing. And apparently they have they're doing an experiment on how well you do it. Sixth grade. Sixth grade cuz they're keeping the data and they're learning how to track data and they're so his special talent is saying hump day over the inter [Applause] So, thank you to everyone. Tenure,

034you've done an amazing job. Retirees, I am jealous. So, I do appreciate everything and I do appreciate y'all stepping up and coming out. We can't do it without you. So, I do appreciate everything you do. [Applause] At this time, we'll move on to second public comment and anything anything anybody wants to talk about. All good. Very good. Did he raise his hand right away or no? Did he? I didn't see over. Sorry. I didn't see your hand. Sorry. [Music] I'm used to doing this for concerts, but like this is the first time I've been at a board meeting to speak. So, good evening, Mr. Hack, members of the board, administrators. um and elder community. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak to you tonight. I'd like to take this opportunity to to share

035some of the music programs accomplishments over the course of the year. First, I'd like to thank Mr. Conklin and and Connor for recognizing our uh achievements at this majors. Oh, good. Getting much of a mic. There we go. I think. Oh. Oh. Oh. This is nerve-wracking. I'm not used to doing this. But uh these are the plaques that will go up on the wall uh in the in the music room. Connor is one of uh six years in our in our band program and uh the second to trombone player to attend Yale in in six years. So um congratulations to Connor for this. Also, he's part of this. We had 61 students um from our building which represents a little over a fourth of our of our student population in this building that uh that

036attended NISMA majors in Kingston both for chorus and for band. And so I just wanted to share uh these plaques again with all of you. You can all see this. Um, it's three years in a row that we've we've had a silver sweep, so to speak. And and as Connor so eloquently put it, it was a it represents excellence. So, I just wanted to share that. Uh, first and foremost, it was our most recent accomplishment this past uh last week. Tuesday was uh for chorus and Thursday was for the two bands. Earlier in the year, um, beginning in September, we we learned that Autumn Walsh would be selected to area All State. Um, one the only one in the band from Sullivan County. Um there was one other uh brass percussion and uh woodwwind specialist

037uh a trumpet player in particular from Liberty who was in the orchestra. But to to have to uh compete against other schools from Rockland County, Olter County, Orange County, Sullivan County, and for Autumn to to to be in there, she was the third in uh in four years that we've been very fortunate to to to have meet that program. So, I'd like to recognize her. Uh that that uh performance was in November. Uh uh it was a little snowy that that day. I think they missed the first rehearsal, but but it was a wonderful concert. My sons got to attend as they have been attending the last few uh area all state concerts. So, um in December, we had eight students um attend the Merrywood University Honor Band Festival. Three of them made the top

038Honor Wind Ensemble. They were Haley Gotchinau, Jackson Counts, and Ma Mullen. Um, applause. These these students were up against uh schools. Connor White has uh has has also participated in that event uh both at the junior and the senior level. Um 30 plus schools from around all of Pennsylvania. Schools 7 8 9 10 times our size. And for those for those students to be achieving at that level was was incredible. Um so this is like furthermore uh 27 students were selected for all county this year. I have um some sheets I'd like to share with the board if I may that represent some statistics. I'll just pass these around pass. what I what I'm passing around, ladies and gentlemen, where is just a breakdown on the instrumental side. Um, I've I've I've taken the time

039to uh break down by ensemble and by school district and by school district size. with our with our enrollment of approximately 450 uh Eldred had 21 uh instrumentalists this year and and and last year. We've been holding pretty consistent with this with our uh size and the amount of students enrolled in that. Uh we were we were number one in the county proportionately for for for uh the amount of students selected. And uh you uh ladies and gentlemen, you'll be able to see at the very bottom how we rank and and how the ratio plays out based on uh the number of students selected and and and uh again by by our by our size and and our our cohort sizes uh Monaceel Liberty and so forth. We also had five in uh vocal students,

040I'm sorry, six vocal students, five in the treble chorus and one in the mixed chorus. And we continued u those ladies have uh just continued to shine. We were able to um bring back our select a capella chorus. Uh it's it's been kind of dormant for the last two years. But but with those ladies um particularly I'd like to acknowledge Emma Bizland, Madison Gada, Riley Still, Chelsea Potter, Gabriella Wong, and Haley Gotchinau for leading that that effort. They were in our course. They were section leaders. They led sectionals. They led warm-ups. They they they helped me as a teacher. They we we are leader in me district. This was leader in me on steroids, ladies and gentlemen. I know I've made that comment so many times, but to to see these ladies at work and

041and leading the seventh and eighth graders and leading them in in concerts in in in warm-ups before the concert. I know Sarah, you had gotten a chance to see it firsthand. What a joy. Um Chelsea Potter in particular, and I'll be getting to this with our solo festival results. Chelsea Potter scored an A at Solo Festival. She's looking I I checked in with the one of the coral directors from Wallill who has a lot of statistics based on how um selections have gone for area all state in in that in that uh aspect. And with her score, she will be my first area all state vocalist in November. We had 27 students in uh 26 students in all uh soloists that presented at NISMA Solo Festival. Um 16 received excellent ratings. Two received good ratings.

042Six received outstanding ratings. Chelsea again received that A at an all-state level. We had one malfunctioning alto saxophone um all state solo. Claudia Weisaki unfortunately her her spring rod broke right before she went in. She was definitely on the on the heels of Autumn and and Caitlyn McGary and and Owen Anderson before her. She would have definitely made Ariel All State on the instrumental side, but life happens. These things we just have to move on.
