002give us a presentation so did to and of SU la BAS resp ad C is all SE excuse me c can you speak into the mic because they can't hear you the public cannot hear you speaking thank you for bringing to my attention so um so as I was saying um this is this is a sample calendar to walk through the process of what should be happen when but as aard and super disc process that we have here the district go setting occurred earlier this past year right where the board works with superintendent to identify District goals then the district goal progress updates are given throughout the year the next little point to look at is that the superintendent evaluation we may have it is after 4 hours an EMA will M IND it's now
003foress actually be autogenerated but my information will be on there if you have any questions you will complete your part by the time that you agree to And when everybody has I will provide the compiled report so that you can meet have that discussion create the majority opinions and the final document okay and then the uh summ conference super and at that conference allity op any that evaluation because this is a majority opinion minority opinions are shared ver and although it's not majority opinion doesn't the do that information be valuable to superintendent for future consideration as he goes forward talking conference um it is not a requ to it their super May value to just talk about the process and expectations provide a quick update on something if there's new information that maybe hasn't been
004had an opportunity to be presented at the board meeting um allow uh quite frankly for the calendar setting dates for when you all need to have this completed by um and any discussion of stud individual questions you might have with the superintendent that would help this process be efficient and long so the district tools assessment is the EV it's stated in statute that the evaluation shall be based on the goals and objectives of the district so the district um generally creates three to five gos are Focus ofri towards stent a moving the district forward for students um the CSA evaluation process is an annual collaborative process between the board members and the superintendent so we are all here to serve students and student achievement in the district and we have well defined different roles to
005play depending on whether you are a board member or whether you are the superintendent this is a way for accountability to the system but it's also for conversations to happen because we want to be able to identify what is going well we want to be supportive of the superintendent um for continuous growth and professional development as necessary because a successful superintendent has successful students so that's the purpose of working as a team and building those conversations productively move forward um action plans as we know the sets those goals in collaboration the board and the superintendent working together and those action plans were put in place and those action plans actually are things that uh move the district forward to the achievement of those goals and should also have included um the the identifiers of how
006will we know we've gotten there right how will we know this is successful what are we gauging it by just have a slide that shows the district Go's assessment and what you can expect to see um there will be the superintendent will uh rate himself and then put in any comments this is where he will link information and supporting evidence for why he is evaluating himself that way and then the board members underneath very similarly grade on that um goal particular goal and then also can make comments one of the things that's not written here that I really to remember though as board members completing this is that this is a superintendent evaluation and you really need to avoid identifying any other staff member whether um by name or by title that would identify them
007that can create problem so when the compilation is done I'll review it um even a positive comment about another staff member can be uh seen as an evaluation of them and that would be out that would be improper So to avoid that we look at that we make suggestions for redaction of those statements and your board attorney would have to weigh in on whether or not that has to happen which how you know could affect the process how it gets done and also any fees that may um be required to the attorney here we have the sample compilation of the goal so for each goal it'll look similar to this the goal will be stated it will say what the superintendent's comments were towards that under it'll have old comments for that go and then
008there'll be a grid that identifies where um the superintendent red himself and where how many of the board numbers red in each category so standards are important but it's important to understand where they come from uh I didn't make them up New Jersey school boards didn't make them up they come directly from Professional Standards for educational leaders um this is recognized as what we would expect to see in our professional leaders and education superintendence and it reflects their qualities of leadership um and work that they do that's intrical again to student achievement right we all have um skills and talents but we're really focusing here on what those are that pertain to a superintendent being able to work effectively and efficiently for the outcomes we want to see for students right that's why we're doing
009this um this process in identifying the areas of strength and where more focus is needed so there are six standards that are covered in the evaluation process Mission Vision and core values governance ethics and professional Norms operations management curriculum instruction assessment and school Improvement community of care equity and family engagement and profession capacity the community of school district Personnel so that's just so that you'll have and you'll understand that it's composed of those six um standards here what you'll see is what you'll see for each one of them it'll give you uh the standard here at standard one which is clearly Mission Vision and core values it'll give a little statement about what purpose of that is it will have a rating scale and you just have to uh each time you're going through it
010and going to a different um standard please make sure you're reading that reading scale because they change depending on the standard so you don't want to assume that it's always the same um you'll see there the resources to consider that would support the evaluation and um the indicator rating so for each standard it's broken out in indicators that will help you determine where the strengths and um opportunities for growth are and and uh then also on the bottom there'll be an area for Bo comments so on this next slide excuse me um we just have a sample of what a compilation for a standard will look like it'll have the standard clearly on the top it'll say what that standard is and Underneath It All of the indicators and in this grid format we see
011how um how many people for each uh indicator gave what response right so it's a way to see all of that together that information which will help you in your discussions about identifying majority right the majority opinion is so the annual performance report is a compilation of non-conflicted members opinions and I know I keep saying it but conflicted members cannot participate in any way and participation includes in informal discussions with board members who are participa the evaluation or the meeting um an executive session where the opinion majority opinion is developed and the meeting with the superintendent to deliver that right so we need to understand that um the annual performance report is the evaluation which reflects the majority opinion on performance on your District goals um standards strengths and focus areas so the annual performance
012the steps of how that's going to happen um all non-conflicted members meet to discuss the uh and determine the majority opinion rice notice has to be given to the superintendent in advance the board the ba board secretary will handle that for you anytime that you're talking about a staff memb employment they have to receive rice notice in advance um once the majority opinion is determined we have a template that's available on our website we'll to pres she will um be drafting that document and then it will be discussed with Superintendent at the summary conference meeting another um good practice is to send it to him in advance of that meeting because it's very very hard to read and digest something with everyone else's eyes upon him for the first time so it gives him a
013chance to read it and consider it have a valuable discussion together so next we look at the annual performance report template aailable this will help walk you through actually creating that final summary document it will um cover the leadership standards and overall assessment in the section for overall strengths and areas for growth you can check off multiple categories as you find appropriate there's also an area for Bo comment to be put there so um things to just remember the annual summary conference overview the r notice needs to go to the superintendent uh identifying the time and location of where you'll be meeting to discuss his employment um share that report with him before you're meeting with him it's a majority of the board members who are not conflicted the minority opinion should be um given
014an opportunity verly to be heard and considered it doesn't go in the written report and that meeting you have to uh show that you met for the annual summary conference that will help be your um evidence for your qack so the superintendent will begin the evaluation the board members will complete it independently it's also for those who haven't completed it before um it's Anonymous right so what that what that allows you to do is be um reflective this is not a tool of anything else right it's not supposed to be negative it's supposed to be really considering all of the evidence reading that objectively and then completing this and taking care to do that we will at New Jersey school boards we compile it turn it over to your board president um again remember all
015the race notices um the president is the one that will write that up reflective of your majority opinions you together and sign off on it at that summary conference meeting prior to July 1 I'm always a little concerned when we say July 1 because by Statute that is the truth May and June get very busy in school districts so I strongly recommend that you agree upon the dates of completion and set those meeting dates because everyone's calendars get more complicated than they are tonight so who keeps a copy um New Jersey cannot keep a uh keep a copy of this so next year you can't ask me for it we purge all of them by December 31st of each year because they are Personnel documents um it's the it's recommended that of course the superintendent
016keeps a copy assigned copy for himself electronic um or hard copy or both and a signed copy um is generally kept by the board attorney but that can vary depending on what your agreement is with your board attorney want to ask you that directly so just a consideration of what the evaluation is right it's not even though we're talking about it and doing it at this time of the year it's not a once a year process this is a reflection of all of the work that's been going on throughout the year um and the updates that you Reed towards um the achieves under those District goals uh it's a review of performance over a whole year not just the last time that you may have met as a board um the progress updates that you
017get through the year are really a way for that two-way communication similar to how the evaluation is meant to be as well um if you have questions during the course of the year and need an update request it right um don't hold everything so that you can take it out on the superintendent in the evaluation right we want ongoing productive good teamwork and dialogue because you're all here to serve students we want to restrict anything that pulls us off working well together as a team um it's responsibility of all eligible members who are not conflicted to participate in this uh as board members and I was one myself for six years um I know it's it's difficult to time the schedule to make the time to do it but short of hiring a new superintendent
018the annual performance report of the superintendent is one of your most important duties and responsibilities um you're doing it on behalf of your students that's why we're here so I'm going to take a moment um now that we've concluded really talking about the superintendent evaluation because the board self evaluation um has been updated this year and I just want to uh take one moment to really go over it because it's very important when we look at the evaluation process for the superintendent it's a measure of accountability to that things are working positively towards um the direction we want to go for our students likewise doing the board self- evaluation builds confidence in the community that the board is recognizing their responsibility to hold themselves accountable um what the evaluation um how it's changed this year
019is that our tool has been changed to focus more on the board's governance as a team um areas in the past that talked about IND how I feel as an individual those are have been removed because we really need board members to focus on the importance of working together as a productive team this year um one different thing is that the board president will have to go in first and put in this year's board goals if there were none she would have an indicator to just click and say there were none once that step is completed it's open and available to all all board members to complete independently and again anonymously you consider uh setting although there's no certain time you have to do it by but if you're seeing the benefit of doing it
020you should set a time uh when everyone would be expected to complete it so that I can run the compilation and provide come in and provide a report and the reason that that's important is that a board self- evaluation can help identify your strength and your areas of challenge or areas of growth for your governance um because you is so important to Student Success we want to really stay focused on that and the board self evaluation and the report and analyzing the data that you're providing the feedback that you're providing will help lead you down the path of identifying what are appropriate board goals for the upcoming year and how can we have a conversation about setting your own action plans with deliverable dates of when things are expected to be done so that's similar
021to the progress of District goals the board can report out to the community what your board goals are and the progress you're making and that and that helps to build confidence in the community also in the important work that you're doing for their students okay so there's some information here um these last slides are really just to show you that if you uh when you do this both of the evaluations you need to just go to our New Jersey school board's website scroll down you'll see where it says evaluations you will have with your credentials to access this it'll show you this is just a sample of what you'll see for the board self evaluation and rating scale and you just enter in and complete that um just photos of what it looks like uh
022what you can expect to see there's an area for comments to be included as well and for our online service right under the evaluation on our website under the CSA evaluation there's um hyperlinks to uh information that can be helpful if you have questions and similarly for the board self evaluation and FAQ to um give you some information of course as your field service representative any one of you can reach out to talk to me I always try to provide that information for you if I don't have an answer to your question it's my responsibility to try to help connect you with the right person or get that for you so that is really my presentation and if you have any questions i' Happ to answer see page discuss and I know how important that
023is but I'm not sure everyone understands you're sayu how that canity single accountability yes so is any more addition information to give to us about you said 13 points so so as it was broken up on that each part of that so you've had one part of it tonight was your training so that's good and I'm assuming that you have your contract and policies about the evaluation so um what we're showing there is that by following the steps as I've laid them out to you tonight you will have earned those 13 points usack is broken out in sections and you have to achieve 80% in each area and by doing that this is 13 points towards the goal achieving that and it's actually specifically the responsibility of the board so some of the things that
024happen that are um the entities responsible our administrators superintendent right but this specifically goes to the responsibility of thank you Jean thank you for your time we really appreciate you coming thank youb something sweet on the way out in the Paul you're up all right um so since I unfortunately was not here last uh month I will be starting from uh what happened in February um with February in short there were a lot of guest speakers um caucus Alum Amanda nesat presented to our science club um presence of caucus rotary key repass uh spoke to our rotary interact club and uh miss bbs's us 2 history class spoke with um um Mr Tomas bordas who talked about his arrival uh to the United States from Cuba um during the historical operation Pedro pan that brought

041board even prior to getting on the board and I thank the president for reassuring me through several comments at the Education meeting four specific times that they will ensure that all of our specialed students issues are addressed through the education committee they don't feel there's a need to start a special committee or subcommittee or an a committee they guaranteed us that everything we need done for the special commit will be handled to them so I appreciate them making that a priority um I would like to add also uh Mr Vitz uh suggested that our new special ed director Miss hesy will become a part of our education committee meetings either on a need basis or whenever we need her to discuss something so thank you for that oh Felicia is always di yes she's part
042of the committee absolutely always absolutely thank you for that thank you Jerry any other discussion call the RO Mr Bart lettera yes M deetta yes M Barry yes Mr dbre yes Miss Geller yes Miss Howard yes Mr Lewis yes Mr Lions yes operations Finance so during this month's uh committee meetings we updated on a few things uh interviews were conducted for perdm custodians all head custodians have been uh trained on um the building management system uh a total of 350 School du reports were completed this month uh lock replacement project was completed during uh the break uh one hallway is left to be completed for the LED project at Huber Street School uh in claran the basement has been uh cleared out uh for storage uh there was an upgrade of bathrooms at claran school
043uh that has begun the lighting project has begun at the middle school high school uh the blue and red gym floor and light project is complete and uh we will also update it on the finances uh for the month so I'd like to make a motion to accept the recommendation of the business administrator board secretary to approve and adopt resolutions R 4.01 through r 4.14 as described below second discussion so I save this for operations because we're going to make an announcement tonight um the future and how we're going to manage our special services in the lower grades it's going to begin with a move where we're going to utilize Huber Street school and claran school and try our best with you know the lines to get clared in school pretty much 21 or so
044kids will be moving out of there and attending school in CU Street based on their address and we're going to try and Implement basically two full Elementary programs starting in September um so we're figuring out the rooms we have that worked out and we already figured out the classrooms as far as staff goes that's being almost finished with that and that will then drive our Five-Year Plan so we're doing it in the lower grades we're not going to interfere with the kids in Clan School in the upper grades because we've accommodated that over the years and we don't want to change the siblings and things like that so we're going to start with our K1 uh area so it's been a plan since last summer um we put the esys over in Huber Street school
045and we started to look and evaluate our classroom space and we felt like this was a really good opportunity to uh balance the ship so to speak so it's going to be pretty exciting making that move and then like I said that will generate The Five-Year Plan so that when we sit with architects and things like that we could now evaluate both buildings to see where we need to go and not to get too complicated but you know the way we draw the lines of who goes to clar and who goes to Huber it could change in the future depending on where we're at and we are looking at all the data of where our students live to see what those numbers look like in the elementary school so there's a lot of thought in
046this and I know we've been discussing this for a while how we will do it we're getting close so I just wanted to you know the operations committee we we've had a lot of conversations but um we're we're moving forward so transportation is also a very big part of this so everybody's on board and everybody understands and the plan is going to be wrong so nice job by everybody thank you Charlie any other discussion chair at the shared services committee meeting City Hall we discussed some improvements at the clar school renaming it and we said we would work on that as soon as the weather breaks Thursday spring starts so I'm hopeful that we can put this on the front burner and start moving forward to get that work done at that school especially to
047recognize the instructor that we lost there so that we can have that area done so if we can put that on the agenda that we can start working towards that with City and they've offered to be very supportive and help us with the cost of that yep I agree I think do we leave it with the mayor um um that they would get back to us yes the mayor was going to meet with the buildings and grounds and then they were going to walk claring together they were just waiting for the weather to get nice and they would start on it yes okay y so we'll we'll stay on top of it you're welcome okay discussion anyone else call the RO Mr bartletta Mr deetta yes Mr Barry yes Mr debre yes Miss Geller abstained

053refer to it um but as you know obviously uh there's different sections so we if we had to do something along the lines of a call it's most likely going to go out as milridge school okay you asked about inclusion so as you know inclusion is always something that we have worked on and we do have classes that include inclusion um when appropriate we'll always make sure that we do that um and we're continuing to grow in that direction what was the other nurse nurse yeah uh it's very difficult to find anytime we have to have a nurse cover it's because we couldn't get a substitute nurse we work very hard every morning trying to get substitute nurses if not but we are in the process of trying to figure out how to get a
054nurse hired we're constantly trying we are constantly working on inclusion that's what I said before for those that meet those criteria and it's appropriate for them and we do have some situations right now where it does exist again fulltime full day for when it's there I hope so not at this time we approved the r 1.02 um to extend Mr bores to June 30th um but we are in talks about how we are going to move forward but no update at this time thank you motion to close motion oh God I'm so sorry board comments I'm sorry so I just have one comment and it kind of piggyback off for Gerald I think Paul does an awesome job at highlighting all of our high school and middle school students but I was hoping that maybe
055we can get some some data to him for our elementary school students because they do really great things down there too so I would like to highlight them like maybe some not maybe not the sports because that's Recreation and Rec should highlight that but but their educational side I think we should highlight them a little bit because they do have a lot of great educational things that they do like they're doing drama down there and all these other cool things so if we can get P some things for those elementary kids too that would be great that's we could do that Charlie right okay sorry anybody else I forgot board comments I just want to reiterate what I said to you before Paul that that was amazing stuff that you shared with us and on
056beh the we're very proud of the district and the kids everybody everybody involved really good things good stuff anyone else close motion to close second all in favor I good evening everyone
