On May 30th, seniors enjoyed a sunny day in the Poconos for their senior trip. Activities included ziplining, kayaking, Olympic size pool, beach volleyball, and at the end of the day, we all gathered together for some s'mores. Today, the eighth graders attended their trip to Dornney Park as part of their end of the year festivities.

Tomorrow, we will be honoring the achievements of the middle school students at 6:30 in the auditorium. ABC awards and senior awards will be hosted this Thursday. ABCs to start first

We know like again like you've immersed yourself in David Brley. You're so busy and you also made time to be here on these Monday nights. Uh so appreciate your time. Thank you so much and best of luck to you. Thank you. Nice. Uh next up we have Mr. Ganella who is going to give us the monthly report on construction projects. I'm joined today by Mr. O'Brien from Legacy Construction Management and because we're getting to

009some critical crunch time. Um, so I felt uh Mr. Connor could u answer some questions and give you a little overview of where we are and where we're headed over the next couple of months. So um big time. Thank you. Uh the final closeout uh documents for the field are review were reviewed and and submitted. Uh we did finalize that project uh this month with the final payment on this evening's agenda. So that's a a good thing. One out of the three projects is 100% complete. Uh the HVAC project is still in punch list. There are a lot of uh uh minor uh items that need to be wrapped up with that and we're hoping to have that done uh relatively soon as well. Uh the addition that's the the uh the big project that

010we're uh um working on. Uh storefront installation is complete. Uh the glazing which are the windows uh for the the the addition is in progress. It's about 90% complete. The final delivery is expected this week of the glass uh site work. They were out there this week. They're grading and raking the field is in progress and hopefully we'll get the seed down soon. uh mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough uh insulation is almost complete for the the addition. The polished concrete on the first floor is in progress. That was one of the items that we were concerned about. Um we're glad to see that uh being installed right now. Um the LVT uh which is luxury vinyl tile uh flooring on the second floor is also almost complete. Uh we passed the uh um moisture test

011which was the big hurdle there that allows allowed us to put the flooring down. Uh the elevator is on site. The installation is to be determined. Uh and this continues to be uh remain a concern. Um though the actual um mechanism is here, there are certain parts that aren't here. Um and the manpower isn't on site to do that yet. Uh the initial two coats of paint are complete with the final coat to be scheduled. Uh we'll do that uh probably sometime during the summer once all the workers are out of there knocking into the walls and banging things. Get that final coat done. Uh the elevator tile, which is the tile that goes up the elevator shaft, uh is 95% complete and the remainder will be done once the elevator is completed. Uh uh

012the um middle school multi-purpose room. Um the uh air handler is in being demolished as we speak and the light fixtures are being installed. Um, and we did run into some problems with the electrical um in the multi-purpose room and the lobby uh where there was some neutral issues um um and u that was a little bit of a setback u but uh hopefully we will overcome that uh sooner than later. Uh auditoriums I don't know if you noticed when we were in there some of the clouds are being installed where the fir the first floor were in the back. Um so that's progressing uh nicely. Uh so here are some pictures. You can see the main entrance in the top left hand corner and the the second uh picture. The third picture is the

013lobby entrance and you could see in the the the corner of that picture you could see the luxury vinyl tile on the elevator shaft as well as the cloud array in the middle school um on the ceiling. Um the bottom left hand side is um you can see the site work um being done there. The field being leveled and you can see some of the windows starting to to to progress. The the second picture on the bottom is the site work. The third picture is another uh angle of the lobby uh showing the metal paneling which goes from the inside out um and the stairwell. Uh the top picture is a picture of the um completed flooring in the office, the middle school office. You could see there you have the uh cubbies for the

014mailboxes for the teachers. Uh and in the background you could see the the counter um um in the office. Uh the second picture there is the um art room uh with its array of clouds on the ceiling. The third picture is I believe the special ed classroom um on the second floor. Um the fourth picture on the bottom there that is the middle school office with the counter. Um the uh middle middle picture is a picture showing that the uh polished concrete is in prep work. Um and then the uh last picture there is of the back gym or the new multi-purpose room. Um and it's uh being prepped uh for right they right now that's if you go back there you could see all the um array of clouds that are going to be

015installed on the uh ceiling in the auditorium. That's where they're staging them. So, um, as I said earlier, the, uh, project number one is 100% complete. Uh, we did run into some change orders on that one due to the, uh, soil contamination. However, we did recoup a good portion of that due to the insurance claim that we filed under our environmental claim. Uh, mechanical project um is, um, is 90 almost 96% complete. Um and the addition project is now up to 65% complete. Uh we will have some more change orders um um coming in the next couple weeks regarding that. Um and I'll give a detailed report to the board uh at a later date. Um and as of right now, the um middle school science and the high school science and the art room

016um um furniture is scheduled to be installed on time uh towards the end of uh June. Um so um we are on past our substantial completion date. Um we are aware of that. Uh but we do not think it's going to impact our ability to occupy the space in September. Um our my bigger concern was some of the renovation work that needs to be done in the existing middle school. Uh and that was a focus of our construction meeting last week. Uh where we focused on ensuring that the uh items that were required to do that work were on site and ready to be installed. uh and they are the doors, the the flooring, all those type of things. There's not going to be any lead time for those type of items. They're already here.

017Um so the contractor um and our construction manner does do not anticipate any concerns with that. Uh Mr. O'Brien, would you like to add anything to to that? Um so good evening everyone. Haven't been here in a while. So, Connor Bryan with with Legacy. Um, as Vince said, the the main priority is making sure that that that area a the addition could be open in time for the school. We have some delays that have come up that we've been assessing and going through and ensuring. As I stand here tonight with the stuff that we were facing, we're still confident that that's going to happen without, you know, an issue. So, we're confident that that area is going to be ready for the start of school. um the addition or the renovation area has been said

018we're we're pushing we're actually on communications with the manufacturers and the contractor's subs to get confirmation beyond the GC of telling us it's going to happen. So we have been writing from uh carrier and the floor companies that the material is either in their warehouse or it's scheduled to be shipped and it's going to be here for the first week of July. So, we're double checking as best we can within the limitations of the contract um to make sure, but we're pretty we're confident that school will open without um an issue as far as excess in the areas. There will probably be some carryover work past the summer, but that's going to be on the contractor to come in, you know, second shift to finish up those items. So, just wanted you to hear from

019me, not just Vince. Sir Brian, quick question. Yeah. Um is there a contingency plan and like a marker date that you've set as a team to review? Okay. July 1, July 15th, we've made progress. We haven't. And then what are next steps? We have weekly meetings. Okay. Um and between the week we're we're on communications with, like I said, the manufacturers. So this morning I was on the phone with the elevator manufacturer as well as with carrier um confirming trucking shipping dates, you know, and then confirming the trucking tracking number is actually legit and it shows that it's moving. So we're trying to do everything in between. Um we have communications with the building department, you know, because we need their their signoffs as well. So it's beyond just the contractor. Um I know, you

020know, there was mention of, you know, manpower issues. Um, we're pushing them to add crews, work second shift, work the weekends, whatever they needed, and they have done some of that. Um, but I don't want to wait to put the pressure then on Justin and his team when he needs to get in here and make sure everything's set up. So, we're taking account for that as well, what he needs to do to make sure it's set up. Thank you, Mr. Right. You mentioned some carryover work or what kind of carryover work? Just punch list items. So, you know, to be able to open up and get the space, we need to make sure it's safe and all the safety measures are put in place. All the signoffs from the um the city. Um but there

021might be items such as, you know, Vince mentioned, we're waiting for painting to be in. We might see some items that still need to be touched up and painted. Ceiling tiles that they were moving around that got damaged that we want to make sure they switch out. Um you know, this is a brand new, especially addition, brand new. So, the expectation is everything's going to be brand new and there's going to be no imperfections. Um, we'll get into warranty stuff and all through that and we'll keep pushing them based on how tough it got to get to this point with the contractor. I don't want to you guys have the expectation come end of August, you're not going to see a contract anymore. He's still going to be having to come around and do uh

022some items contractor works for you. You contract works for the for the board. Okay. We also work for the board. Separate contracts. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, one one example would be um punch list items and the difference between occupancy and nonoccupancy. Uh the the new um lobby edition. Um there are two main um components, aesthetic components that haven't been completed. There's a a wood array that's supposed to go up the back and across the ceiling. And then there's also supposed to be acoustical baffles that are going to be uh installed. Another example would be the clouds that are going into the auditorium. Um most of those things are aesthetic things. Um doesn't mean you can't occupy them, doesn't mean you can't use them. So those are the type of things that hopefully come September, those

023are the type of things that we're dealing with, not something where we're not able to occupy the space. And we're pretty pretty sure that we're going to be able to occupy the space. But like I said, we review that at least on a weekly basis if not even uh more. Um so what the challenges for us this delay in substantial completion you know the fact that we should have been occupying the space now um it comes to really logistics um and troubleshooting systems to ensure that everything is working to perfection. Um, you know, once we get the green light from the building department, we get the green light from the building department, but that doesn't necessarily mean that our bells are correct. Our phone system isn't the way we want it to be. You know,

024those type of things. The cafeteria, you know, making sure that the everything's uh the the cold stuff is supposed to be cold, the hot stuff supposed to be warm. Uh, so those are some of the logistical things that give us less time to deal with. Those are some things that we would have wanted to start doing now as to probably in July. So those are the challenges. Uh nothing that I don't think will prevent us and students from being occupying that space and uh uh taking advantage of that new um space. Vincent the elevator question where we were talking about the ele the elevator parts aren't here yet are out there somewhere. Um, if for some reason that remains a problem, would students still be able to access the second floor via the old elevator

025and and get They can. The question is, this is what we're going to try to get between now and the next couple weeks, is is that acceptable to the building department. So, we have a functional op uh elevator that gives uh ADA accessibility for the second floor. I can't see why not, but they might have some objection to it. Um um and hopefully they don't because then that would possibly prevent it doesn't make any sense that that would prevent us from occupying the space. Um so um what we're going to that's one of the questions that we asked today was to get that in writing from the building department that these lead times for these parts are x number of weeks out. If we don't meet those timelines for September, does that really mean we

026can't open it just because one of the two elevators isn't working. Okay. Any other questions? Just um when we get opened, six, seven, and eight are in the new building, right? All right. Just because I was talking to Jeremy earlier, some rumor going around that sixth graders weren't going to be there. So, I said I would clarify that tonight that that wasn't the case. It's what I heard. Okay. That's what I heard, too. Okay. All right. Very good. Thank you. Thanks. Um, as you can see, so much is happening. Um, I just wanted to, um, thank the teachers. Um over these past two years, you know, we're facing the completion, which is exciting, but it's been a lot. Um I just want to thank the teachers at both buildings for their grace and professionalism, uh

027and navigating a lot of hubbhub, for lack of a better word. Um imagine trying to teach, you know, 24 high schoolers when there's giant cranes and earth moving machines outside of your windows. Sure, close the blinds, but the sound's still there, right? Um so our teachers did a lot of work to really focus our students. Um so thank thank them and also thanks to our students for having the patience. Um also just a few other updates. Um we heard from Nelie about a lot of Brley updates. Just a few Harding uh pointers. Um Harding had a fantastic field day on Friday this past week. Thanks to the PTO and all the parent volunteers uh who contributed to a successful field day. The students had a blast. Uh the weather cooperated except for the humidity. Uh

028but it was a great day um at Harding. Also, uh the sixth graders are coming over to Brerley um later this week and the fifth graders are coming over to Brley, I believe it's next week, uh to do some transitioning events um uh with Mrs. Harrison, our middle school counselor. Uh and also it was great to see the kindergarteners practicing their graduation um ceremony today. So it was fantastic to see that. Uh so lots happening at Harding as well as Brley. Um uh about to conclude my superintendent's update, but just uh a quick note about um the HIVs. Uh we had two investigations in the month of May. Uh so you'll see that in your notes, board members, that there were two HIV investigations in um May at Brley. Um one of them resulted in

029a confirmed case of harassment, intimidation, and bullying. One of the investigations is still pending. Uh so you'll see that in your notes um and the overviews there. Also in your notes uh you have the typical reports about discipline, the enrollment and residency. Uh so please take a look at those. Let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise that concludes my report. Is everyone okay? Do you need another moment? It's okay. No. Thank you. At this time, we will now have report of committees, review of resolutions, and board discussion. Up first is finance and facilities. You want to for Mr. Odani. Thank you, Mr. Gan. That um so I provided an analysis of the contracts in accordance with PL 215 chapter 47 pursuant to the law. Uh the board intends to renew and award or

030allow to expire contracts previously awarded by the board. These contracts are have been or will continue to be in full compliance with all state and federal statutes and regulations. in particular New Jersey title 18A 18 uh and New Jersey AC chapter 23 and the federal union administrative requirements. Uh those uh contracts are listed uh in resolution number seven on the agenda and take up several pages. Um we have heard uh there may be some additional state aid funding or grant opportunities but no specifics have been provided uh at this time. Uh Mr. Davies provided some uh updates to you earlier uh this month. Um the focus uh grant a competitive grant has been awarded. Um uh beginning in 202526 school years uh districts are required to use universal screeners to assess students mastery of key

031literacy skills in alignment with New Jersey um school learning standards uh for English and language arts. Um and um the focus grant uh will enable the district to purchase uh and implement these tools effectively enhancing early literacy, identification, instruction in accordance with department guidance and in compliance with the state law uh for kindergarten through grade three. Um that is one of our resolutions on this evening's agenda. specifically. Which one is it? Number eight. Okay. Um, there are also several resolutions on the this evening's agenda pertaining to contracts and agreements for the upcoming school year. Have any questions regarding uh any of the finance and facilities resolutions? I do have a question about the universal screeners. What is it? What is that? Dibbles. What is the specific tool we're using? Yeah, dibbles. Okay, thank you. Anyone

032have any questions for Mr. Ganella? Thank you, Mr. Canala. At this time, we will now have personnel and management. Mr. H. Thank you. Uh, six resolutions tonight. Um, seven if you count. Uh resolution 24 uh resolution 15 is uh retirement. Resolution 16 is the approval of a resignation. Resolution 17 is a maternity leave of absence request. Resolution 18 is summer B&G support staff. Resolution 19 are 2025 ESA summer programs and resolution 20 is um high school summer enrichment program.

033it's uh just updated to be aligned with New Jersey student learning standards um which includes grade 7 ELA writing, grade 8 ELA writing. Uh resolution 22 is the HIP report from April. Um and then resolution 23 is a policy review. um P2428.1 standardsbased in instructional priorities. And that's it for curriculum instructions. Anyone have any questions for Mr. Ferrer? Okay, seeing none, we will now move on to old business. Anyone have any old business? like to remind the public and members of the community to continue to please use the Friday folder, utilize and leverage our social media accounts, reach out to your teachers, administrations for any questions or concerns you have. Um, everyone is here to support you and whatever you need for your students or any questions that you have. Anyone else? Okay, new business?

034Yes. Um, two weekends ago, I had the opportunity to um do my last tour as a dance dad. Um, Fusion Dance Center had their uh, annual recital in the auditorium. Um, it was phenomenal. The the the work that was done in there, I told you before, um, was amazing. It was a great showcase for having been many years going through in the old auditorium. Uh, but the lighting, the sound, the seats, everything was done um, top-notch. And I'd also like to thank the members of the uh, of the staff that were there to help keep the school open and functioning on the weekend. So, thank you very much. and very good job. Thank you. Thank you. Um, as the representative for the Union County Educational Services Commission, I attended the monthly meeting for June. There

035was no new business to report. Um, and no new items that impacted our district. Um, Mr. Davies already thanked the PTO for the field day and we wanted to acknowledge there have been conversations with everyone about the countless events that have been happening for sixth graders, eighth graders, kindergarteners, seniors, parents, parent volunteers, teachers, um, everyone, police, fire department, EMTs have been doing everything they can to just help to contribute to these really nice year and events. So, we would like to thank everyone. Um, in addition to thanking and congratulating our athletes, our theater, dance and band students and choir have had some amazing performances in the past couple weeks that a lot of us have been able to attend. And also to our students um that have had superior academic performance that have been acknowledged.

036We think that's really important to say that you know what a great job we think you're doing. And the last thing I'd like to mention is tomorrow is the primary. I encourage everyone in the public to go out and vote. The LD20 are the representatives that control our state aid and that are running for office. There are candidates and they have been sharing their, you know, platforms. So, I think it's really important because the state aid does impact what we get. Um, it does impact the taxes and it's really important to make sure that you know who you're voting for and to get out and vote because that can make a difference in someone who's assisting with us in the legislation to get money back. So, please, if you can vote in the primary, the

037polls are open. Please make sure that you inform yourselves and get out there and vote because it does impact our state aid, the LD20 assembly men and women that represent us. Anyone else? Any new business? Okay, thank you. We'll now move on to opening the meeting up to the public. Is there a motion to open up the meeting to the public? Second. Motion made by Mr. Ferrer, seconded by Mr. Biner. All those in favor of opening the meeting to the public, please say I. I opposed. Eyes have it. Motion carry. Mr. Ganella. Public comment will now be accepted. The board of education sets a limit uh for the public to speak at the board meet board of education meeting to 5 minutes per person unless prior permission has been granted by the board for extended

038time pursuant to bylaw 0167. Please be reminded that while members of the board may uh of the public may speak on personnel matters during public comment, the board of education is legally prohibited from discussing individual personnel issues in public session unless the employee at issue has uh requested a public discussion. The board's role is to set policy and ensure the effective operation of our schools while personnel recommendations are the exclusive responsibility of the superintendent schools. The board reviews uh and acts on those recommendations in accordance with state statute and district policy, but does not initi uh initiate or manage individual staffing decisions. The board and superintendent work in close collaboration to maintain a professional well functioning school system that serves the best interests of our students, staff, and community. For the record, please indicate your

039name and address prior to making your comments. Is there any public? Hi, I'm Annette Moss. I live on 590 Richfield Avenue. It's my first time here, but you'll get to see me a lot. Um, my daughter's in prek, and I want to thank you guys that it's going a full day. I have three kids, five, three, and one. So, I'm very happy you guys are opening. when she my first daughter started, I was like, "Okay, you guys got to get the grant and start this." Um, I know it's going to be offsite. So, Mr. Davies has been very open to my concerns about this only because I wanted to make it work. My daughter's been at Kinderare for 5 years. My whole family's been there. So, they've gone downhill. So, I want them to bring

040their standards back up before you rent space from there. I'd love it to be there. It's down the street from me. So, it works out great, but they need to bring their space up to speed to the standards you guys need to ensure they're doing that. The second thing is is can you start maybe have a public meeting about prek? I get a lot of questions from a lot of moms about what's going on, especially with the offsite um facilities that are going around by rumor right now. It's even with preK4, people know what's happening, but they're not sure it's happening. How is it going to happen? Are they going to be bust? What's before and after care like? Um, is my child going to be safe there? Um, they want to know because it's

041not in this build in the Harding building that they're used to. So maybe some public forums or some more messages about how this is going to work for the community to um educate them. And I'm trying to encourage more parents to be involved and come here and ask questions. Um the second part of it is can you start including prek more and for not forgetting about them? They have graduation coming up on the 18th. They sometimes have been left out of the PTO. I'm very vocal about that. Um, so just remember they're becoming a full-time part of the community starting September, not just two and a half hours or three hours for extended day. So make sure they're a part of it and that they kind of don't just get forgotten because they're not kindergarteners

042yet. But thank you for everything you do. Thank you. Any other public at this time like to make any comments? No. Okay. Motion. Motion approves. Okay. Second. Motion made by Mr. Habith, seconded by Mr. David. All those in favor of closing the meeting to the public, please say I. Opposed. Eyes. Eyes have it. Meeting is now closed to the public. Thank you. Mr. Ganella, are we ready to vote on resolutions? Yes. This is for resolutions 1 through 23 on the agenda. Resolution number 24 will be voted on uh after close session or do any of those 1 through 23 need to be voted on separately? No. Okay. Biner, yes. Crinkolei, yes. David, yes. Ferrara, yes. Haber, yes. Zimmerman, yes. Penichi, yes. Motion carries, unanimous. Thank you, Mr. Canala. Do we have a need to go
