017always talk to your you can't get the information that you need and then shif to Athletics that's okay M time um a couple things obviously spring Sports have started quickly we were spoiled a little bit because us spring Sports start which just knows as a coach it's not 7072 on the Monday that it began but it was U which was a really nice Lessing to have we were stuck all in the gym trying to figure out um along with that comes March reminder that today was a little bit cold and chilly um March is still here so we're happy for that but I want to talk really about um a couple things for wrestling and particularly as we WRA up um season High Point was district one champ I'm very proud of them we had
018several significant achievements by individuals so wrestling right becomes team team team team team all the way through and then eventually they get to a certain point where they're going to go on to put districts regions and then down to ltic city in the top eight individual qualifiers will be what call medalist um across the state so I think there's probably 400 or so wresters that go down to Atlantic City um and the top eight of each weight class recognized however out of that we had Nick clayon who's a senior um he moved on to the loss of the third round of wrestle backs which is intense just talk a little more about how intense it is but it's intense there a lot of wrestling a short amount of time to maintain that to wrestle your
019way literally back into the qualifying rounds um but on the girl side of wrestling we had an next opportunity to Crown a two-time state champ um and a first time state champ so on Saturday we had the girls wrestling finals um El who was um crowned champ last year repeated for the second um and she held up her two or four um that was her indicator that we were looking to go four in a row it was very business likee watching her she's actually the first um weight class wrestle 152 so it was exciting to watch that she's very business likee I think it was 318 something around that um she been the girl um and it was you know done and over with right so it's exciting we moved on and L sh sh
020GRE is a freshman um she's 114 pounder so once two it goes up and it goes all way back down she comes on and was one of the most exciting matches I've ever seen in my entire I almost had to find the ads during the aspect of it because she was just like an as animal out there and she was up I think 141 142 something like that 122 it was a lot too a little and the girl that she was wrestling was a returning state champ as well so um I think she was undefeated in the year um and she was returning state champ so all of a sudden it was 14 nothing it was 1914 and I pull it out um one at the end but I had a couple pations in the
021middle um it was really exciting and I thanked her for that excitement I said next time little bit excit um really cool to see that experience for for our Our Girls wrest again seeing that program grow um obviously the the boys program as as Billy has taken over that program this year um is founded in Tradition um the girls program is is building that tradition as we speak and becoming a Powerhouse some in the state which just a really cool honor to see them down there and get them moment to shine as well so just want to make sure I highlighted that I know I Tak place a little while ago but want to make sure they missed that okay any questions on any of that thank you very much um I just wanted to
022say for our two recognized uh staff teachers support staff that um this holder was instrumental in helping us get through the co years without her um she was a great source of comfort and someone who inspired my confidence rather quickly because I don't even know that I interviewed her face to face I think the first time I ever met her face to face you know and so she was just fabulous getting through a very very difficult time and um Mr Smith I've known since he was a freshman in high school on the first day and sitting in the front row window and I had him in world history class as a and uh I remember when he was majoring in education at ruers I said to him please don't take another job until you talk
023to me because we want people of such character and ability as Mr Smith to be a part of our kids lives and uh so we're very blessed to have them both attorney Mr Campbell for curriculum and instruction thank you congratulations to Mr Smith Ander as well um last week we completed our first wave of State Testing the graduation efficiency assessment for our Juniors I want to thank M Jess BRS from the curriculum office um she could be a Balian in the battle um the amount of organization that takes move th moving parts for two consecutive days it doesn't sound like a lot St testing but it is incredibly exhaustive as far as organization goes and our staff our students did a fantastic job thank you to all help to make that um that's just a
024manageable but very successful to and we look forward to getting those results back in May uh and being able to support students based on those results however they need our next faor testing will be uh the end of May I'll back up for a second AP testing the first two weeks in May which is uh very exciting and then the NJ SLA later in May for nth graders and science for our Jun so it's very we're required by law twice a year to present on um uh student safety data and our so very briefly we do our major presentation with our assistant principal just a brief um statuto required presentation of where we're at so the data here is from essentially September through December or July 1st through December not a lot L if you
025look at that um those numbers on the right they represent uh the first 5 months of the school year and the numbers to the left represent the previous years in the aggregate so um that gives you a perspective it's approximately half the area that I highlighted um substance abuse continues for the third year in a row to have higher incidents I think there's no um no mystery to that the epidemic of vaping and the Bold and persistent way that we've um pursue that is the result that we have some some high numbers in that area you look at the specific breakdown when you see fights six could be misleading that represents three altercations where six individual students were um suspended again substance use um is something we don't look we don't turn a blind eye
026to it it is exhaustive Umma rice um born ourti security staff um it's a lot of work all day long but we determined to protect our children and to be U to be bold in how we deal with what truly is that just wanted to give you an update the yellow represents where we're at in the aggregate for this year so you see um there have been three altercations sorry three assaults 11 fights 12 confirmed use of substance and 23 possession we don't take these numbers LLY I don't mean to be dismissive with the glancing way which I'm presenting it these matter they matter deeply and we pour a tremendous amount of resources into prevention and into supporting the students that are at for our harassment intimidation and bullying the first reporting period of the
027year we did 16 investigations four of those investigations determin that we had a confirm s five founded an update as of Friday six confirmed PS again you would like that to be zero but if you go back here and you look at the bottom line there that's over 8year period roughly of our annual total confirmed pids so we're in the ballpark of where we've been again we would like this to be less and we work very hard to try and reduce it um but we are transparent and accountable for how we manage this very important um issue we have tremendous support our guidance Department we've invested our mtss program um one of the things we've spoken about is when we look at our suspension numbers we now have an internal suspension we believe in many
028instances that we can keep students with us on campus every student that's an internal suspension has a meeting with their guidance counselor and or their case manager if they 9 Fe every day um we don't put them in a room and forget about them it is uh we remediate the issues of support the student um we show them caring and kindness and hope to um remediate behavor so we put a lot of resources into managing the conflict and into trying prevent future issues uh adjusting student schedules trying to make sure that certain students are um particularly while there's a need of a pulling off period have some separation from one another um we care about this greatly smart T um Mr T Mr Mr Emma the main office they advocated for this has been an
029absolute Game Changer in our school um the the order um that our hallways have now the students are in class and we have digital system determines when there's a vacancy and when they you leave and it's not a 20 minute wait sometimes it's a 90c wait or 2 minute wait but it simply says that bathroom is being occupied your pass is you'll get a green light to leave in about a minute so we track where the students are more importantly we're able to manage who's in what bathroom and what they're up to so that um leaving the room is for the right purpose and not conting BR to to break Ru so it's really been very effective um Dr Ry Mr Wright will re see our antibullying procedures Mr T Mr s Mr the main
030office of our um management and behavior our hidden information is transparent all of it is online and anyone listening tonight welcome of course reach out any questions um any questions on ssvs or yes I question about um fights and assaults are divided what is the difference between those two things sure um there are some instances where two students might get into a shoving match and it's considered an altercation it's not appropriate an assault typically is a more um aggressive act and typically an assault occurs or one person is clearly the victim and the other person disproportionately um brought that conflict on so a verbal op application escalates into a shing match a traditional fight when someone's walking along and another person is angry about a social media post from uh 4 hours ago and they
031come up behind them and you know um buch uh that's unsolved that person is walking along and it's a very big deal and we we want zero but we deal with ad and we have moments that it does sound to be a rather provocative term so but it's it's where two people are not mutually just another want to show some images as I mentioned te Arts huge success dancing singing sculpture um videos um music just really an incredible day over 100 students participated and last Friday our math department celebrated um P day um we had t-shirts every single math uh teacher did a Hands-On unique lesson the whole upstairs keep were out the hallway doing interesting things we had t-shirts um and then I love this I love these communal experiences Mr Dr and the
032Math teachers organized a pie eating contest with bracket for March Madness and uh that was the preliminaries so we so many students show up for the semi-finals that we opened up the entire side of the gym for the finals uh it was awesome so the kids went down Lun they got quite a kick out of it um there you see Wilson Hall our champ um and it was just a lot of fun and it's uh it's nice for the students to have a fun way to connect um what their learning I don't think anybody went home that day not not aware of what P was so um nice a lot okay we have no other business so moving on to action items curriculum instruction and technolog okay so items one through three are the faculty

038school year using the 2025 2026 state aid figures and the secretary to the higho Regional High School Board of Education be authorized to submit the following budget to the executive County super intended of schools and that table shows total expenditures uh in the of the general fund of $24 m7757 26 plus special revenue of $554 1839 yielding a total expenditure and total column of $2,330 565 less anticipated revenues uh , [Music] 347,000 m927 therefore taxes to be raised for the general fund uh of a rate to the total is 18,42 7,8 65 uh and I'm not sure where the double asteris I guess that applies to the entire table uh and uh we can expand on this later this is this includes a 2% increase and a health care adjustment with those figures noted so
039be it resolved that the High Point Regional High School Board of Education approved the levy of general fund taxes for the 2025 2026 school budget to be1 18,4 $ 2 7,865 this budget addresses health and safety issues related to facility Capital spending student centered items and program integrity and to advertise said budget in the New Jersey Herald in accordance with the form suggested by the State Department of Education and according to Evol so I will make that motion may I have a second second you uh any comments or discussion on the budget give everybody else opportunity before I will ask your forgiveness while I get on my soap box for a minute or two um so I usually make a comment at the beginning of the budget season or or vote that um I consider
040this one of if not the most important vote that I make as a board member because it is through our budget that we fund the operations of the school um and is the fundamental step to impact student achievement directly indirectly however you want to think about it and we um are the duly elected representatives of our communities our respective municipalities that get to weigh in on that decision at least that's how it's provided for in statute currently um I had and this may this is so much for the rest of the board this is maybe for the public wanted to give some background how we got where we're at um the landscape of Education finance and funding so first at the state level and maybe how it affects High Point Public Law 2007 chapter 62
041first limited AB board's ability to increase tax levy over the amount levied the previous year a few years later Public Law 2010 chapter 44 Revis that cap to the current rate of 2% and made it permanent whereas the previous was meant to be sunset after 4 years so since then since 2010 every Public School High Point included municipal government County government and the number of other public bodies have lived with a two 2% constraint for almost 15 years now uh during that same period the full implementation of the school funding Reform Act of 20 8 uh was brought to bear with significant revisions in public law 2018 chapter 67 I apologize for all these statutes but they ultimately dictate how much each district receives in state aid state aid being next to the tax levy
042the next largest piece of income that schools G so according to this new funding formula the details which were never released to the public even though there was a class action litigation to that effect many Urban and Suburban districts throughout the state received increased state aid but others predominantly in rural areas like you guessed it Sussex County received less um I will just say that our local representatives were either powerless or ineffectual in changing any of that situation in Trenton to our benefit um so as far as high point is concerned uh we have lost I think just shy of $3 million I don't know the exact number in state aid over the past seven eight years close enough right eight years um that includes a loss of I think roughly $70,000 maybe it was
043a little less in 75 this year 75 in the current year so while comparatively that's peanuts to what we've lost prior to that high point is one of only two districts in the county that actually lost state aid money this year so um it's it's I'm not trying to put anything other than facts out there I'm not looking for empathy uh from but just to put it all in perspective there was one year I think fiscal year 2022 High Point lost almost $800,000 in state aid Vernon and a pacon lost that year over 2 million each the same year nework school system received an additional $85 million and I look I'm not trying to make a political statement there I don't I I'm a firm uh supporter of public education everybody is deserted of their
044free and fair education but just to make a comparison of what we have had to deal with um we have one hide one hand hide behind our back because of the 2% cap and then we have then less income coming to us via state aid progressively and it has been uh difficult to deal with so while constrained by the statute of 2% increases for 15 years running while yet having the state aid reduced by millions of dollars while also experiencing High inflationary increases affecting our transportation energy and practically every other purchased material that high point is involved with um we have fortunately over the past three years not exceeded the 2% cap in a number of years have not even used the full 2% uh amount that was available to us in recognition that our
045taxpayers were struggling and if we didn't need it for our own uses here we weren't going to take it so that is all Preparatory to the fact that the current budget does exceed the 2% which is which is shown in the under the table right there was an amount that was available to us as a 2% uh the 2% cap if you will we are however not using what we have put in the bank bank being that which which we did not use in the previous three years we're in a unique situation however and that somehow the state determined that insurance cost health care costs went up so extremely uh an extreme amount I guess in the state that they have offered the ability to use a healthcare judgment adjustment something else that is part
046of the state statute that goes back to 2010 right which is available to us only in one year is that correct it's only used in the current year so based upon the needs that we felt we had with capital outlay and some other planed things and just the desire to maintain our programs and our staffing levels uh the the superintendent in conjunction with the finance committee and business administrator we we have decided to exceed the 2% cap and utilize that Health Care adjustment um that is available to us in in the current year so that's it so if there are any other questions on that I would try I will direct them to Scott first but ton uh so I just wanted to lay that there somewhat for the board but also for the public
047to understand why the need to do so in the current budget that's the end of my comments I used up of our time given the fact that it is a one year outlay from the state regarding health care costs and it's going to presumably every District in the state it is anticipated that most districts will utilize that onee allocation and uh I anticipate this almost categorically uh among districts well I'm sure not everyone will but it will likely be many particularly districts who have lost um state aid to such a degree that arguably it would be IR responsible to foro um that that increase uh permissible by the state for one year right pal yes M DZ yes Mr vanstone yes Miss lber yes Miss ory yes Miss Wise yes Miss GA yes Miss Schuman
048yes Mr D yes uh I will move 7 loan uh recommendation that the board approves removing the attached list of old outstanding checks in the net payroll account and monies be moved back to the general fund these checks have been outstanding for multiple years so I'll make that motion M second second any discussion Mr vanstone yes Miss G yes Miss longberg yes Miss Schuman yes Miss Wise yes Miss ory yes M palac yes M Diaz yes Mr dun yes so that's so I can move eight alone uh a is a recommendation that the Board of Education acknowledges and gratefully accepts a donation from Thor labs in the amount of $2,000 to support our annual stem League event with W Hill Valley for our respective ascending districts which will be held at w Hill Valley this
