001Good evening everyone. It is Thursday, May 15, 2025. I'd like to welcome everyone to the board business meeting. Um, please rise for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge 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. Please remain standing. This evening, we ask our board, staff, and community to join us in a moment of silence in memory of Mary Joe Katona, instructional aid at Colonial Middle School. Mary Joe began her service with the Colonial School District on March 15, 2001. And for over two decades, she dedicated herself to supporting students and staff with compassion, kindness, and unwavering commitment. Her presence will be deeply missed by the Colonial Middle School community as well as the entire
002school district and all who had the privilege of working with her. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mary Joe's family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. Please join us now in a moment of silence to honor her memory. Thank you. Thank you. Um board met in executive session tonight to review the personnel report, special education agreements, and the annual safety and security report. Several labor relation topics were also discussed. In addition, the board was made aware of a real estate tax exoneration request. The meeting lasted approximately 1 hour. And now I will turn it over to Dr. Guggis. Thank you, Mrs. Puno. Tonight we are very proud to recognize Jim Muscarella, engineering teacher at Plymouth White Marsh High School. Mr. Muscarella was recently presented with the Citadel Heart of Learning Award. Would you like
003to stand up, Mr. Muscareller? The Citadel Heart of Learning Award is given out annually by Citadel Credit Union to outstanding teachers who were nominated in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Lancaster, and Philadelphia counties. Citadel noted that Mr. Muscarella was chosen for his ability to engage and challenge students through authentic learning experiences. the STEM, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and EDI, entrepreneurship, design, and innovation programs he has developed along with his mentorship and the inclusive environment he fosters enable all of his students to thrive. Several parents who submitted nomination forms noted that his support for students has made an impact. One parent nominator said, "He has been a very positive influence for my daughter and an advocate of women in engineering." Another nominator cited his ability to foster trust and lasting relationships with students as a reason
004for him to win the award. He has formed meaningful connections with my daughter and her classmates, creating a safe environment where students can learn, collaborate, and explore their passions. We are incredibly grateful to have Mr. Muscarella as a teacher, mentor, and sponsor within our community as well as an advocate of women in engineering, said another parent. Mr. Muscarella started his career at Colonial in 1995 as a long-term substitute at the middle school, and a year later, he became a science teacher there. In 2001, he moved over to the high school where he teaches engineering. He was part of an exclusive pilot program to establish a national standardized high school engineering course through an in initiative called engineering for us all. He has also served as adviser for students involved in the robotics club and is
005currently sponsoring I'm sorry is currently a sponsor for the science olympiad club at Plymouth White Marsh. He is also known for organizing an annual cardboard boat race in the high school pool. He holds a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering and a master of science degree from Drexal University. Mr. Muscarella is the third Colonial School District teacher within the last three years to receive a Citadel Heart of Learning award. We are so proud to have so many outstanding educators like Mr. Muscarella in our schools. Congratulations, Jim. [Music] [Applause] Thank you, Jim. What did I just say? A few words. I come the inside or I don't care what [Applause] And at this time, I would like to welcome to the podium Beth Rickard, who has some exciting news to share about our PW boys
006tennis team as well as our deputy. Good evening board members and administrators and our guests. My name is Beth Rickard and I'm a teacher at PW and I've also had the honor to serve as the boys tennis head coach for the past two years. This year has been a very exciting year for our boys tennis program. We fought val valiantly for the league title but unfortunately fell short. But we still had so many successes on the court. So this evening I'd like to recognize some of our men who helped contribute to such a successful season and recognize their accomplishments. I'd like to start with Sam Chapman who unfortunately couldn't be here this evening as he had work and his doubles partner Colum Doerty. Colum and Sam were our first doubles team this year. They persevered
007against incredible opponents and fought valiantly. So much so that they were recognized by all of the coaches throughout our so league and nominated to be on the doubles second team for the so league. Colum and Sam are both seniors and will both be leaving us as Sam travels to Grove City for his uh college career and Colum travels to University of South Carolina to study engineering. Congratulations to both Sam and Colum. I'd also like to recognize Nam Zo and Matt Palatech. Matt is a freshman at PW and Nam is a sophomore. This year, the two joined forces as our second doubles team, fought again through many challenging matches and were quite successful again earning recognition from the other coaches in our league and being placed on the second doubles team for the So League. Congratulations
008to both Matt and N. I have two more gentlemen that I would like to recognize from the team both individually and as a pair. Uh first I'd like to recognize James Fastbender. James is our senior and he will be graduating this year. He has been a strong force on our team for the past four years. James qualified for singles for each of the four years he was on the team for our district tournament and he has by leaps and bounds showed incredible leadership for us this year. He and Colum both served as our captains and they did a phenomenal job. The other gentleman I'd like to recognize is Jana Sheth who is a who is a sophomore on our team. Jana uh won our so singles league this year and went to districts along with
009James for both for singles where they both persevered to the second round which is incredibly difficult. That is a feat in and of itself. I would also like to recognize them as a pair because they played doubles together this year as well as last year. They won our so tournament this year. Through their amazing accomplishments, they were given the sixth seed in our district tournament where they made it through their first round of play beating a doubles team from Strath Haven and another doubles team from Council Rock North before they fell in an incredible match against the Knesogga team where they also had an opportunity to play the next day and played an almost three hours doubles match against the Unionville team. So, congratulations to both Jana and James. They have had an incredible season
010along with the rest of our PW tennis team. Congratulations. And Miss Rickard, I think you have some more exciting news to share with us. I do, in fact. Um, for the last nine years I've been the DECA adviser as well. And I have to tell you, PW DECA, we rocked this year. PW DECA won the PA DECA cup for our chapter, which is only given out to one one chapter in all of Pennsylvania. We were recognized for our community service and for the community giving that we have done throughout. We were also recognized on a national level for our community service, our fundraising, and our promotional campaigns. PW DECA has a national reputation and our students are the ones who do it all. So, with that being said, I'd like to recognize the students that
011are here this evening. Um, and I'm going to go ahead and call them out for a moment. So, first recognition goes to Zach Halbert. Zach is a junior and he is also an officer who is one of the students who is responsible for us securing those campaigns this year. Zach was a finalist, which means he was in the top 10 of about 130 students in his event of business finance at our state conference this year. Congratulations to Zach. I'd also like to take a moment to recognize Jonah Reed. Jonah is a senior who will be attending college at the University of Florida where he'll be studying marketing. This year, Jonah competed in food marketing as his event. What that entailed meant that Jonah took a 100 question test that was multiple choice about marketing and
012food marketing specifically. After that, he then had to compete in two separate role plays where he had 10 minutes to prepare and then 10 minutes to prepare for the judge for each of the role plays that he did. Jonah was a top senate seven finisher which qualified him for our international competition in Orlando, Florida this year. Congratulations to Jonah. Jonah is also on our officer team and part of our campaigns that got us our national recognition. Next, I would like to recognize three students who were a team. That would be Ethan Gold, Logan Nye, and Jason Walters. Ethan, Logan, and Jason embarked on a project this year. And a project may initially sound easier, but I assure you it is not. The project that these students choose to work on was called business solutions. They
013had to work with an actual organization to identify a problem that they had, come up with a solution for that organization and then implement that solution and then reflect upon their results if they actually solve the problem. This year, those students chose to work with the PW school store and the problem that they work to tackle was the inaccessibility of being able to purchase beyond our bonus block period. The boys worked very hard to build a website where parents and community members could order apparel and merchandise and they also secured a new vendor that would bring different products to the store. It was a fantastic experience for them and they placed top seven qualifying them for our international career conference. Congratulations gentlemen. And last, but definitely not least, I have another team of ladies that
014I would like to recognize. Eliza Mesman and Addison Stein. Unfortunately, Addison could not be here this evening because she is on our lacrosse field playing against Shanahan. But I will let absolutely tell you a little bit about their project because they also chose to work in project management. They took a different slant and wanted to work on community giving. So, the organization that they chose to work with was a dog rescue. And as you can imagine, the rescue needed funds. These ladies stepped up and organized a bingo fundraiser that was held at PW in December. Through their efforts, they got over $2,000 worth of community prizes donated, and they sold over $5,000 in tickets and raffle prizes to the community to raise money for this organization. This is not an easy feat. These ladies are
015one is a sophomore, one is a junior. They did this on their own and they did a phenomenal job. So phenomenal in fact that when they presented their project at states, they were the first place finishers for their event qualifying them for our international career conference. Congratulations to Addie and Eliza. And now, if you'd like to come forward and shake hands, thank you. [Applause] Congratulations to all of our students that were just honored and thank you, Miss Rickard, for leading all of our students down this path. We do understand if all of our families and students uh want to go home and get a good night's rest, but you're more than welcome to stay. [Applause] All right. This is a motion to approve minutes as presented in items 4B through 4F. May I have a
016second, please? Rashidita, any questions or comments? All in favor? Thank you. This is a motion to approve financial reports as presented in items 5B through 5M for April 2025.

All right, seeing none, I will turn it over to Dr. Gregitis for our superintendence report. Thank you, Mrs. Patruno. Um, this is a motion to approve the personnel report and extracurricular contracts as outlined in 8B and 8 C. Board action is requested
017for the recommended personnel changes. Appointments for promotion, employment or transfer are subject to the presentation of valid credentials, employment verification documentation and statemandated requirements.

On May 2nd, immediately following the science PSSAs, all eighth graders attended an assembly in the auditorium. Miss Fivy and Dr. Kaplan shared with eighth graders that we had been selected to participate in the first ever history PSSA. Students were quickly surprised that this was just a ruse, and we spent the rest of the afternoon playing yard games, enjoying some time with friends, and eating ice cream for Mr. Softy's ice cream truck. This was a very enjoyable afternoon and the start of a new tradition here at CMS. At Plymouth Elementary, we closed our spring book fair after a well attended family night

025throughout the building. Over 70 families participated in this event. The third grade students performed their third grade concert, The Hero and Us, for their families at Colonial Elementary School on Wednesday, May 7th.

Um, I would like to invite up Natalie Dick and Ronnie Keane. Would you like to come up and share a little bit about your futures? [Applause] Hi. You guys all know me. I'm Ronnie. Um, I first heard about the opportunity to be on
026the board uh two years ago when I was a sophomore and I said, "You know what? Why not?" You know? Um, I remember one of our very first meetings here. I was a junior and it was concerning Dr. Clay's resignation and that was definitely Baptism by Fire. Um, that first meeting or probably third um was just crazy. But you know what?

Uh, next year, I will be attending the University of Chicago for public policy. So, I'm excited to embark on a new journey and hopefully I've left you all with someone to remember, a face to remember, and just know in the future if you ever need anything, you can always call Ronnie Keane to help out. [Applause] Hi. I shouldn't have let him go first because he's really hard to follow. Um, I'm Natalie. Um, as you know, uh, I've had such a great time being on this board, sitting at these chairs, and, um, really, as Ronnie said, watching the inner workings of the district. You really have no idea, um, all the intricacies. You read

Finance Committee met on Monday, May 5th. Committee discussed tax collection services CMTH budget voted on tonight and the previously approved uh proposed final 2526 CSD budget. We also reviewed the 2425 school year to date budget and
040food service meal prices for next year. The 2425 budget revenues and expenses are consistent with expectations and on track to remain on budget. Some notes about food service that were highlighted that evening. The district will maintain prices for all standard meals for the 10th straight year. The only change will be the reclassifying of some of the customizable creation station meals at PWHS from $3.50 to $3.75 due to the rising cost of these specialized supplies. The cost for the standard meals will remain unchanged for 2526 as well as the elementary meals. The food service department is an independent unit that runs with its own balanced budget. One of the highlights of the meeting was how they keep prices so low in an era of rising food costs. And that was the example of how the district
041started sourcing its own meat and hand forming its own hamburger patties, leading to a significant reduction in the amount of sodium in the burgers and leading to an innovative school lunch makeover award. Congratulations. [Applause] Uh Gail, anything for HR? Uh nothing additional other than the two um policies that we voted on on the first read basis. Thank you. Uh Chris, uh no report for CMTHs.
