Can I have a motion and a second on curriculum items N1? Jessie? And Jamie? Anything? Yeah. I'm just curious. Do other freehold regional schools offer orientation for our MIMS eighth graders, because I don't recall ever seeing that. I
005only remember seeing Colesnack, so I didn't. Okay. It is working. That's a special program for multilingual learners who are going to that school, which is where the magnet program is housed. The other type of orientations would be for some of our special education students if they're transitioning to new programs in the high schools. Awesome. Thanks for the clarification. You're very welcome. Go ahead, Jessica. Mr. Ferber? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Mrs. Her? Yes. Mr. Cain? Yes. Mrs. Parisi? Yes. Mr. DeCette? Yes. Motion passes. Thank you.

Mrs. Parisi? Yes. Mr. DeCette? No. I mean, yes. Motion passes. Okay. Moving on, item
006P, other board, other business. I will start with you, Ryan, if you have anything for tonight. No, just another congratulations to the honorees tonight, those who retired and our teacher and support staff of the year. Thank you. Jamie? Yes, I would like to congratulate everybody tonight, the retirees, all of the teacher and support staff of the year. I would be remiss if I didn't give a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Gelch, who was very instrumental in my son's time here in MERS and currently still now at high school. He still does Menalpan Steel. We will miss him. His retirement is definitely well-deserved, however, I wish he would have waited two years. Anyway, as a shout out to Menalpan's, they will be performing on Friday at the Menalpan Art Council at the Rec Center this Friday
007evening. So if you have time and you're in the area, you should definitely stop by. And again, I think all of the teachers here do a phenomenal job and we are very lucky to have them teach our children, but Mr. Gelch is really, he's really up there, like what district has an elementary steelpan drum band, like in the state? So we were very blessed to have him. I wish him well. We will miss him and come out and support the Menalpan's on Friday. Great. Thank you. Just want to echo everybody's statements for the teacher of the year, support staff, the member of the year, Brian Grime, all the retirees, and a special teacher of the year, Ms. Pecorero, who had to deal with both my boys in sixth grade. So she survived both of them,
008I guess that's a big deal. And I want to congratulate all the retirees and the award recipients. You can see by this evening how truly blessed our district is to have such dedicated people from our PTOs and PTAs, everyone in the district. So it was a wonderful evening. Congratulations to all. Yeah, I just want to echo congratulations to all the retirees and the honorees and also thank you and great job to the administrators who made that happen. It's a very, very well-run event. So thank you. Yes. I will echo once again to congratulate and say thank you to all the staff that were here tonight and recognized and for all their contributions to our district. Really cool to see the former board president, Brian, get recognized for all his service to the district, Pat Berger
009as well, well-deserved. So really, really great night. I wanted to just mention I was at MEMS earlier this week and was able to sit in on a presentation from Wendy Tepper from 3GNY, which is an organization that they go and speak on the Holocaust. Ms. Tepper was there to share the story of her grandfather who was a Holocaust survivor and was very moving and it's a really touching presentation and meaningful certainly in these days and times. So I was really happy to see that and I'm glad that the schools and the students were able to receive that presentation and hopefully it resonated well with them. So thank you for making that happen and that's it. We have graduation coming up. We're a couple of weeks away, so it's exciting for me personally. My last one
010leaving the district, so pretty cool. That's it. It was a really nice night. Thank you. Well, it's not your last one. It's the last one you're attending as a parent. Well, it's the last one of my kids. Yes. Did Brian? Scott? Yeah, Brian spoke. I do not. Just wanted to say this is the best time of year for all of us. It's one award ceremony, moving up ceremony, graduation after another. So we're just going to enjoy the end of the school year and the early end of the school year at that to get ready for the referendum. Okay. On that, we will be going back into executive session. There will be no more action after close. So Jan, as always, we thank you and you can feel free to go. So can I have a
011motion in a second to go into executive? Jamie? David? Thank you.
