004be Wednesday, August 27th, and it's going to be 400 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and we're going to be at Ola Edwards on Leslie Avenue. So, come out, get some book bags, get some supplies, and see me. >> Thank you. and our superintendent. I'm sorry, member Shapiro. Absolutely. >> Thank you. Um, normally don't have much to say at this point, but I um can't let the moment pass, so if you could just indulge me for about 45 seconds. Uh, last month, a group of activists um maneuvered a resolution at the National Education Association that was both hateful and anti-Semitic. activists then petitioned every school district in the state of New Jersey to adopt the same resolution and petitioned each of the education local education associations to do the same. In the time since, the Hillside Education
005Association spoke out against this hurtful resolution and petitioned the NJA and the NAEA to disassociate with that hateful resolution. I'm very gratified that the NJA and the NEA both decided to do so in recent weeks. The community is grateful for the quick, clear, and determined action of the HA led by its president, Angela Lawler, and express thanks to the president and the entire group for their leadership and clarity on this matter. As I've said many times, children are not born with hate in their heart. They need to be taught that. And I'm grateful to this community for standing up and leading and teaching by example. So, thank you. >> Thank you. >> Absolutely. >> Thank you for that, Member Shapiro. Superintendent Glover. >> Once again, thank you. And board member Shapiro, I also thank you
006for sharing that and those sentiments as well. Thank you. If at this time I just want to it's been she's been working boots on the ground already.

Comes to our district with years of experience and I know she's going to continue to lead the work that we're trying to do. So welcome on board. Official comment. Hillside comment. Is there anything you would like to say? Anything you would like to say? >> Yes, >> sure. Come to the mic. >> Well, good evening. I'd like to thank all of you for your support. I honestly appreciate it. I feel like um I I I belong here and it's been an incredible week thus far
007and I look forward to continuing to do whatever I can to support the district and moving the students forward. So, thank you so much. >> Thank you. [Applause] >> We have another director in the room who started July 1 has been working very hard to reshape the direction that ourformational technology space is.
