001Uh he yeah I hope not. Uh he uh hope you're enjoying and hope you're not watching. >> That's right. Thank you for clarifying. >> Um but you know the idea is that you know we're going to start to shift that focus toward that six to eight you know the middle school as well. So uh you know that's kind of where that goal came out of. >> Okay great. Um if any does anybody have any feedback? >> Yeah just to kind of piggyback off of what Justin said. I do think the goals were ambitious last year, but I don't think I think because we acknowledged that and recognized that. I don't think it was a bad thing. I think it was a really good thing. Um, in the past or certainly my first year being on
002the board, I noticed that the goals, a lot of the the goals started with the word continuing. And to me, if if you're just continuing to do the same, uh you know, the goal is essentially to maintain the status quo, um I think that is sort of a low uh a low ask or a low reach of the district. I think we should always be striving to do better and more. And I think our um determination and decision to move forward with ambitious goals um not only not only in the sense that they're ambitious because they're they they they're widpread and broad and cover vast uh areas of the district's operations but also um because they have clear benchmarks to steal one of your words Justin um and and points by which you can measure
003the success of those goals because they appeared to me also that the prior goals were somewhat written in somewhat vague terms that allowed for subject subjective uh opinions to determine whether or not those goals had been met, exceeded uh or were or had or the district had failed to meet them. uh now I feel we have clear clear markers and and measurements uh yard sticks for success where we can go back and look and see did we accomplish these things yes or no and you can answer that question objectively um and then I I think in terms of transparency to the community that allows the community to see um what you know what we've set out to do and whether we've made good on on those promises. So, I'm I'm very proud of the goals
004and um and I'm proud of the district, everybody involved in in, you know, working towards achieving those. And I think the next four years, I I feel pretty, you know, cautiously optimistic that we're going to we're going to deliver. >> Absolutely. >> I agree. >> No, there was more. Um, I want to say also on on the same note, we are really excited with with the steps taken over the course of this first year. I mean, we've made some like like you guys said, very ambitious goals. Um, and you guys made some pretty took some pretty big chunks out of them and put us in the right direction. So, we want to thank everybody, right? Everybody knew that came on and everybody that's that's jumped in with it and and it's been great. I appreciate
005it. Thank you. giant strides. Anybody else? Um so seeing that we all seem to be in agreement, we're going to put this up for vote tonight. Um we'll do a motion, you know, once we start voting. Okay. >> All right. Okay. Um, can I please get a motion on the approval of the June 17, 2025 regular public board meeting minutes and the June 17th executive session minutes? >> Motion. >> Okay, Miss Johnston, can I get a second? >> Second. >> Mr. Morsano, is there any discussion? All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed or abstensions? Okay. Okay, Dr. Vicki, will you please present the board secretary business administrator's report period ended June 30th, 2025, we had a total cash balance of $4,655,3209. The interest to date was 173,11918 and the U sack group gave us
006uh some $9,392.33. Also at the finance committee we went in detail over the financial reports. Fund 10 was in balance at 4,1246 I'm sorry 1 million 4,1242391. Fund 20 was in balance at $41,045.17 and fund 60 was in balance at $177,114.31. That concludes my report. >> Thank you very much, Mr. Sumi. The superintendent's report. >> Thank you. Good evening and happy new year. And you might be wondering why I'm saying happy new year. But as you know, July 1st is the start of the new fiscal year and officially begins the 2526 calendar year. So, I hope this message finds you enjoying a wonderful, relaxing, and safe summer so far. Uh, for those that might not have seen, um, we did send out a district newsletter even in the summer months. So, you know, it might
007be a little shorter, so more people might read it. U, but we did want to send something out just to give people kind of a state of the district summer update to see what's happening. I know there's a lot of eagerness awaiting the lunch program uh information and so uh we were able to provide some details there. Uh so while school may be out for students, there's still plenty of energy and activity happening across the district and I'm excited to share this brief summer update with you. It's hard to believe it's only been a little over a month since we wrapped up the 2425 school year, but so much has already taken place. Uh, and this week, not that we're rushing it, but this week, by the end of the week, marks the halfway point
008of summer. So, for those people that are excited for their kids to come back to school, there's only about five weeks left or so after this week for us to begin another school year. And for the teachers in the room or watching, I know you're counting down the days. Uh, I always think of that commercial where they say it's the most wonderful time of the year as the parents are running through Staples uh with their with their shopping carts. Uh, but summer programs have been in full swing. So extended school year has been a tremendous success and huge thanks to Mrs. Copen and our dedicated teachers and staff for creating a meaningful and supportive experience for students. We're proud to have partnered with the Madison public schools who are hosting their ESY and Steam Academy
009programs at B Meadow School. It's been great to see students from both communities learning, collaborating, and having fun in the same building. Camp HTack has been filled with fun and excitement, and there are still several weeks to go, and a huge thanks to Mrs. Baritin and her team for making it such a joyful summer experience. And we're also happy to partner with the Hanover Township Recreation to serve as the indoor location for the summer concert series in the event of inclement weather. And we thank Mr. Padavano and and uh Norine for their help accommodating them sometimes on short notice. And as we continue preparing for the new school year, our administrative team has been meeting to examine all aspects of the district to ensure continued consistency across various procedures, processes, and operations, which happens to
010be one of the goals. Uh this important work will continue into the new school year. Custodians and maintenance crews are addressing building needs and preparing our schools to be clean, safe, fully ready for students in September. Uh the the the amazing thing is Mount View Road and Salem Drive are almost fully ready to go for September already. Uh special thanks to Billy who has kind of reimagined how the summer cleaning has worked and is utilizing teams in different ways and creative ways so that that way when B Meadow finishes he can deploy a team over there and they can kind of divide and conquer as well as the HTack program. So, uh, it's really exciting that on July 22nd, two schools are almost ready with all the floors and deep cleaning having been done. Um,
011and we thank all the custodians and maintenance crews for their help with that. Uh, facility work is underway. Uh, if you've driven by Memorial, you've noticed that the roof is being replaced currently over the seventh grade wing. We had a lovely smell of tar this afternoon. Uh, I thought Dr. Ed was heating up his dinner, but it was happen to be the tar. And uh we're also preparing for the new lunch program and more in detailed information was included in the newsletter today. But you will notice that the vendor is on tonight's agenda for approval. Uh we thank Dr. Isbicki for all of his help going through the RFP process and following the amazing not may that's not the right word the the the number of hoops that they make you go through with the
012USDA and the National School Lunch Program. So thanks for all your work with that. Uh we welcomed Mr. Michael Falgaris, our new director of technology who happens to be running the uh running the AV for us tonight. Thank you, Mr. Falaris. And uh you've been a welcome addition and you've already been making a tremendous impact uh in the few weeks that you've been here. And we're also preparing to officially welcome Miss Marcy Kranney, our new business administrator, who begins on August 18th officially, but she's already been in the district a few times to ensure a smooth transition. Uh we're in the process of transitioning to a central registration process for new students in grades K to 5, which will be handled through the board office. This will help streamline the process, ensure greater consistency, and
013help with more balanced class sizes. And the district website page will be updated accordingly with the updated steps for new families to register. Uh and in the curriculum and instruction area, many of our teachers are spending their summer writing curriculum and preparing instructional resources for the new year. And we appreciate their dedication and professionalism during the months uh especially during their summer. And looking ahead, while there's still plenty of summer left to enjoy, I want to take a moment to recognize and thank everyone across our district who's working hard each day to inspire excellence and ensure a strong start to the new school year. Before I conclude, I would like to thank Dr. Bicki for his time serving as the interim business administrator and board secretary in the Hanover Township public schools. We appreciate your
014assistance over the past year and we wish you well on the island that you are moving to. >> Or maybe not. I don't know. >> Long Island. >> Long Oh, yeah. Staten Island. I heard it's lovely this time of year. >> Excuse it. >> And as always, thanks to the board of education for their continued dedication, efforts, and support. So, I hope everyone enjoys the rest of your summer and stay tuned for more updates next month as we get closer to welcoming everyone back uh in September and the next report will really be the week before school starts at the next board meeting. So, thank you all. >> Thank you very much, >> Miss Copen. >> Oh, wait. There we go. >> There we go. >> I didn't take lessons on how to do the
015mic yet, so get there. Um, good evening. Thank you members of the board of education and administration for permitting me to speak with you this evening. I'm delighted to report the success we've had in our extended school year program this summer. It's truly been very active and a fun place for students. Um, this year our dedicated teachers fully embraced having different themes each week from proud to be an American to mystery week, which was full of escape rooms and disguises. One of the students told me that week was an absolute hoot. So, I wrote that down as my quote for tonight. Um, they also engaged in Shark Week where students dove into ocean exploration and how to save the planet. Currently, they are wrapping up their camping theme. A little spoiler alert, some of our
016students are already bustling with ideas. They're going to use pizza boxes to create solar ovens to melt s'mores. >> I'm in. Totally in. Um, so as you can tell, there's a lot of opportunities for our individual students to practice their goals and objectives, but also increase their skills at indoor bowling in the cafeteria because we have a lot of activities going on. Um during a schoolwide clue game, our groups were set up diversely. So we crossed grade levels as well as just different disciplines with our grouping. And the students traveled in little packs to kind of figure out the clue. You might think of the game or the movie that you've encountered in your past um to figure out the mystery of the day. And that's pretty exciting as well. So um all in all,
017there's the culminating event later this week where they're hopefully going to bake s'mores. I did see it's going to be about 97 degrees. So, if the pizza ovens don't necessarily work, there's a good chance they're going to melt anyway when we're outdoors. We did have 63 students that were invited to participate. 47 of them consistently have attended, which is super exciting. Um, some had some absences for some trips for HTSAC and others of course took the anticipated trip down the shore for the day which we understand but the feedback has been very positive and overwhelmingly appreciative of the staff as far as the new times and the dates are concerned. So from dates to times to calendars to classroom layouts everything to the progress reports that we'll see at the end of the program has
018been revamped so far. And several of the parents have also noted um personally to me that they love summer program and they don't have to fight with their kids to come in the morning. So um from that perspective though it's not measurable in our data I will say it's what we want. We want all of our kids to want to learn and want to come to school. So I'm happy to share that. Sharing the Bmetal building with the administration and the staff at Madison School District has also been profoundly profitable experience. It has allowed us to foster some relationships with our neighbors and it truly was nice to see the staff and students engaging in their ESY program alongside of ours as well as their STEM program. Professionally, it was a great opportunity to collaborate
019and share learning. Um, simply stated, B Meadow has been a very busy and vibrant place the last month. So, my hats off to everyone there. I thank them for their extra TLC and the excitement they brought. That's what we want to see in our extended school year program. uh their summer officially begins this Saturday. So those five weeks in counting, I'm sure for some well-deserved staff. On a personal note, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the board, my fellow administrators, and the entire staff for embracing all of these changes, not only the ones that came about in summer program this year, but throughout the entire school year. Your undivided support has empowered me to find creative solutions um within various issues of the district. Our focus has not been on perfection. but
020rather achieving the excellence for our students. The opportunity coupled with your unwavering support has re dramatically empowered my efforts. So, thank you. Uh this has been incredibly refreshing for me personally and I can't wait to see what the next year is going to bring. So, thank you again and let me know if you have any questions regarding the report. >> Thank you so much, Miss Copen. I know, you know, unlike I I wasn't going to say it just because you thanked us, but I was going to thank you anyway. So, you know, the last year has been fantastic. Um, there have been so many successes within special services and, you know, we recognize and see all the hard work that you and your team are doing. And I mean, like even just hearing about like
021the fun stuff that you still find time to make things special for the kids over the summer, it's just it's amazing. And, you know, thank you for everything that you and your team do. >> I I think you told me it was a very special Yeah, remember a long time ago and I'm bought in my heart. >> Awesome. >> Thank you. >> And if you would allow me to make one comment, a parent actually after our last board meeting there were parents, a lot of parents were here because of all the celebrations and after I hear parents go, "Oh, that that that lady, I don't know who she is, but she's a vibe." So, I'm gonna take that you should take that as a as a big compliment. Uh, >> I didn't Google like GT.
022What exactly? >> It's a good thing. I'm I'm gonna have to look that one up, too. >> As long as it's good. >> I'll add it to my list. >> Very good. Um, okay. Now, we're going to move on to committee reports. Miss Edgar. >> Hi. Thanks. Uh, personnel committee board meeting.

025tenure track positions in district occupational therapists, a transportation secretary and memorial junior school secretary. This concludes the personnel committee report.

The following approvals were discussed. the completion the completion of all required fire and crisis drills the affirmative action team to conduct a needs assessment to complete the comprehensive equity plan and this was already approved at last month's board meeting. However, the county wants us to use the exact wording um of the affirmative action team to
026conduct a need assessment to complete the comprehensive equity plan. Next we um next approval is the 10 curriculum hours each for um Sandra Wy, Rosemary Catalyotti, and Laura Cafaro for their contributions to developing differentiated math activities for grades three through five. Next, we discuss the approvals um for special education. The director of special services requests for board approval to employ the following individuals to work in the district's ESY program from June 27th, 2025 through July 25th, 2025. The salary will be based on the terms of the agreement between the HTA and the board. And this was for bus driver Stacy Milich, not to exceed two and a half hours per day. Next, we had approvals for the following tuition contracts for the 2025 2026 extended school year and the following for that school year. Uh
027the first was shepherd school for extended school and the school year for a total shall not exceed $7,83.33.

It was revised for ESY and the school year for $17,79. Extraordinary aid is $48,510 and the total cost should not exceed $155,589 and these items were revised because the schools gave us last year's fees instead of the fees for this coming year. Next, there was a special education and curriculum update. district goals for the upcoming year.
028We discussed the goals that the district would like to propose and dates to formalize goals for the for this BOE meeting presentation and approval um for discussion of this BOE meeting and presentation approval for next uh plan for professional development for staff needs to be based on our district goals. Mr. Wasserman shared the preliminary results with building principles. I'm sorry. Yes. um he shared those already with the building principles and will be sharing with the board in August and Mr. Wasserman reported the overall results were positive and I believe that was for it cut off that was for the surveys the climate surveys yes so Mr. Mr. Rossman said that he already shared them and discussed with the principles and we just received them yesterday and we will be sharing uh the results. Um he
029shared that the results were positive. We next reviewed and discussed the NJSLA preliminary results and testing window for the upcoming year along with staff testing placement issues that came up this past year. We also discussed the title funds from the federal government is currently on hold because it hasn't been released yet. Mr. Mr. Wasserman informed the committee that as soon as it's released, the grant will be written and submitted. Mr. Wasserman also reported that summer curriculum writing is going really well and that they will be meeting again at the end of July. He's informed us that the curriculum will be on the agenda for approval for the August board meeting. Um he also reported that the vector online training for PD is open and emails were sent out to all staff and also new teacher
030orientation will be held on August 20th, 2025. And then we discussed um handover halo proposal which was presented to the committee by Michael Fagaras our director of technology. It was a proposal for adopting insurance for student Chromebooks. And he reported that the district had spent approximately $50,000 last year to repair Chrome Chromebook damage. And that this um proposal would help us reduce unexpected tech repair costs for the district, set clear device care, align with neighboring districts that already provide this to families, keep student learning um with minimal downtime through the repair process. re-reviewed how neighboring school districts have implemented this program and a committee discussed and asked questions regarding the program with Michael. And that concludes my notes. >> All right, I'm just going to repeat that. $50,000 a year on broken Chromebooks. So, we'll
031get to that in the policy committee. And just to add, if you don't mind, that the district previously has not um charged for any any damage whatsoever. So, it's been a full expense to the district for I don't know how many years, but I I can only speak for last year. Uh and uh you know, so this is something that thankfully Mr. Falgaras is coming in to help us address. >> Mr. Morsana, >> uh finance, transportation, and physical plant met on uh July 7th. Um, present were uh Mr. Omega, myself, Mr. Matastic, Mr. Skiff, Mr. Tumi, uh, Dr. Bicki, and uh, Mr. Padavano, and Mr. Santiago. Um, as for transportation, we all want to congratulate Ricardo. Uh, he received his transportation supervisor certificate, so that's excellent. Um the two new hires are doing very well
032and there's also an additional candidate um bus driver who has shown interest in joining the district and they they've had some discussions there as well. Um as for technology I put this in the wrong place. I apologize. Uh the new director's office has been updated in the MJS library. Um there were no updates for AT HTack physical plant. Both MJS and BMS needed updated automated DX controllers for the rooftop HVAC units. We're working on that. Uh lead retests. Uh the the one retest that MJS has passed. The one at SDS is still high. Uh a no drinking or cooking sign will be posted at that sink. It's not a highly used sink. It's in that um that back room that really nobody uses. So, um, the architect submitted the updated kitchen drawings to the state
033and we were hoping for response um that week by the end of 711. Did we I'm sorry, Billy. Do you know if we got a response uh from the state on that? >> No, >> we did not. Okay. Thank you. Uh, summer custodial effort, as Justin mentioned earlier, the summer custodial efforts are progressing. Sounds like, actually, I wrote on schedule, but sounds like they're ahead of schedule, which is amazing. Uh, and the painting at the BMS library is underway. As for finance, we went over regular agenda items for approval. Uh, that concludes my report. >> Okay, Mr. Gola, this committee met on Tuesday, July 8th, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. Committee members present were Justin Tumi, Lisa Bingo, Christine Eggberg, William McCabe, and myself. Um, one of the first things we discussed was a 2024 2025
034recap and gratitude for a great year. Um, all of the schools had a great finale to the school year, the excellent spotlight, received great feedback from the entire school community, and we are really proud of the student recognition element in our district. Next, we discussed the 2025 2026 preparations. There was a lunch program update. All built bids are due next week. Once a vendor is selected and approved by the BOA by the board of ed, approvals will be sent to the New Jersey Department of Education and town permits will be acquired. A parent workshop regarding the lunch program will be offered in August and again in September. There will also be a presentation from the vendor at back to school night. Um, also the admin admin meetings and a retreat is planned for the summer.
035The administration will have two full days of meeting in July to discuss the staff handbook, evaluations, and other pertinent information. The secretaries and principles had collaboration time together during one of the meetings. I think that's like one of the first times that's ever happened. Um, in August, there will be a two-day admin retreat focusing on a book study about strengths and team building activities, and then we discussed rolling over to the new year. And the administration and staff has been working on finalizing last year's books and finances, preparing the return to school forms, and rolling over the data in our school. And that concludes my report. >> Thank you, Mr. Giola. Um, that actually worked out perfect. I think this is our best remote session that we've ever had. >> So, thank you, Michael. >>
036Um, Mr. Skiff for policy. >> Uh, good evening every good evening everyone. Uh, we the policy committee met on July 7th, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. and the meeting lasted until about 9:00. Those present included Justin Tumi, Lisa Bango, Bill McCabe, Mark Emmerano, and me. We the item the agenda items recommended for approval uh included uh no abolishment of any policies at this time. Again, these are all pursuant to the recommendation of Strauss Sesame and then also to conduct the first reading of the following bylaws, policies and regulations. Policy and regulation 5533, student smoking. Policy and regulation 7441, electronic surveillance in school buildings and on school grounds. Policy and regulation 9320, cooperation with law enforcement agencies. Policy and regulation 5516, use of electronic communication devices. Um, we spent a considerable amount of time in the meeting
037discussing this particular policy. Uh it's a it's it's it's a much needed policy and we're we're tasked with weighing the interests of parents in terms of allowing children to have electronic devices at school which we certainly understand and balancing that with the need for children to be um educated without any sort of unnecessary distractions which we know uh these devices can lead to. um as well as the uh administration and staff's ability to enforce whatever policy we put in place. So obviously whatever we come up with needs to be um uh you know needs to be realistic and practical and so uh that was the aim there. Um we also discussed uh the policy 5701 academic integrity and 5710 student grievance. Next we went through the second reading of the following bylaws policies and regulations
038for today's meeting. Policy and regulation 7150 use of school facilities. Policy 8500 food services. Policy 8540 school nutrition programs. Policy 8550, food service bill. Policy 9140, citizens advisory committees, and policy 9323, notification of juvenile offender case disposition. Uh during open discussion, we also discussed a new policy 2365 acceptable use of uh generative artificial intelligence and policy 7523 school district provided technology devices to students which led to some discussion about the the Chromebooks and and that issue that and that that cost that we're facing and after that we concluded the meeting. >> Thank you very much Mr. Scott. Um, I will now open the floor to public comments on agenda item Oh, I'm so sorry. You know what? >> You don't love me anymore. >> I do. >> No, I just I I just wanted to
039do a quick delegate report because um as everyone knows, there's a lot going on in the town right now. Uh township committee. I am the liazison to the township committee. Um there have been quite a few special meetings and and and uh I have been attending them as as well as some other uh several other of our uh team here of our board here. Um I just want to say that um there have been several items of interest to our school district that will impact us. Uh one being the new policy they have for hotels which would cap this I apologize thought I turned that off. which would cap the stay at 30 days. Um this is now where some of the hotels have been cooperative. There is one that has um brought us into
040a lawsuit, the town into a lawsuit regarding it. Um and they are fighting that now because there's plenty of good evidence that this is being done in other townships um without any issue. Um we also dis there's a lot of discussion on the Bayer development which is approximately 400 units plus a hotel uh and other uh retail establishments. Um from those things we discussed impacts such as uh crime which has been if you're not paying attention has been really uptick quite a bit over the past few years. Uh there was even some discussion about uh people being afraid to go to Malipartis Park which is you know right in our wheelhouse. These are our kids that can't even enjoy the parks in our town. Um we talked about traffic as everyone knows it's already a
041problem to drive up Whipony Road. Uh so another 400 units plus a hotel uh would be some very bad impact to to a lot of things which would you know um Ricardo is not here but we're going to have to deal with that when it comes to buses. Um not to mention safety of our kids who walk and things like that. Um we also uh I I'm going to give credit to township committee because they're being very open and answering as many questions from the public as they can. Uh on that note, I urge that everyone please attend the upcoming meetings so that you can get an idea of what is happening and please speak up and ask questions so we can get more answers. Um and the other thing is if there's something you're
042going to find that is directly related to state requirements, uh reach out to the state, make a call to Trenton, uh which you know we have done in the past and I think it's something that we all should be involved in more. Uh that's all. Thank you. Thank you very much. Um, I will now open the floor to public comments on agenda items only. Please state your name, municipality, and group affiliation if applicable. You will have 5 minutes to address the board, and we'll receive a 30 second warning to begin closing your comments. Okay. Um, now we're going to move on to board actions. Miss Eggbert for personnel. Sorry, I'm a little slow. Upon recommendation of the superintendent, move items 1 through 20 on the personnel consent agenda and items 21 through 26 on the
