001America, can you call the role, please? >> Mr. Andre >> here. >> Miss Chrisal >> here. >> Miss Dioani >> here. >> Miss Hollstat here. >> Miss Calderone here. >> Mr. Sher here. >> Mr. Sampone here. >> Mr. Toad here. >> Miss Wadwitz >> here. Notice of the March 2nd, 2026 meeting of the board of education was emailed to the clerks of the burrows of Essex Fells, North Caldwell and Roseland and to the township of Fairfield and the editor of the progress on January 8th, 2026 and the Star Ledger on the same day. Okay, welcome everyone. Um, I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the retirement of Miss Bonnie Jing. Uh, Miss Jing has been a uh, dedicated um, teacher in our district for 17 years and uh, throughout her time she's had
002a lasting impact on many students and our staff. She's a great teacher. Um, she will be missed and we just tr uh, just want to send her our best regards as she retires and moves on to her next chapter in life. So, congratulations on her retirement. >> That's all I have. Uh good evening. I'm I'm just going to add a little bit to uh Miss Wadowitz about Bonnie Jing. Uh yes, 17 years of service to the district. Um as an English teacher, she's been a true professional, respected by her colleagues, valued by administrators, and appreciated by her students. Um in recent years, she really enhanced our gifted and talented program. Um, Miss Jing is flexible, she's positive, and she's always willing to do whatever is best for students. So, we surely will miss her and
003uh we congratulate her on a well-deserved retirement and wish her all the best in this next chapter of her life. Um, okay, I have a short report tonight, but I also um I want to recognize the tremendous success of the class of 2028 uh tricky tray, which was held here yesterday. Uh the event ran smoothly from start to finish and was a great example of teamwork. Our administrators, teachers, class adviserss, and custodial staff work together seamlessly in support of our students. We're uh equally grateful for the generosity of our local donors whose contributions helped make the event possible. So, thank you to everyone um involved uh for your dedication and commitment to the sophomore class. Uh looking ahead, um we invite families to join us for our night of knowledge on Wednesday, March 4th at
0046 o'clock at the high school. This uh interactive e evening will provide practical tools for both students and parents with sessions on AI and education, the importance of sleep, and building social emotional resilience. Guests will enjoy multicultural desserts prepared by our culinary arts students. Um this Thursday evening, uh March 5th is our freshman semiformmal. Um on Monday, March 9th, the students will have a delayed opening to allow for staff professional development. And we are excited that high school spring sports also begin on that same day. On Thursday, March 12th at 6:00, we celebrate the Essex County New Jersey School Boards Association unsung hero program at Verona High School. That same evening, our talented maskers will open their spring musical Chicago Teen Edition with additional performances on March 13th and March 14th. We encourage the community
005to come out and support our students and what promises to be a fantastic production. And finally, as we f as we follow up to our February 6th and February 20th communications, I encourage the community to attend the March, which now will end up being 23rd, >> okay, >> board meeting at 7:30 p.m. where we will present an overview of the proposed fall 2026 bond referendum. The presentation will explain why a bond referendum is being considered, the role of state aid, the structure of the two ballot questions, a breakdown of the projects in each question, and a summary of current building conditions. This will be a detailed and informative presentation, and we encourage community engagement as we plan for the future of our schools. And that's all I have, Miss Wetsz. >> Okay, great. And I
006just I did forget to mention that. So, our next board meeting, which is supposed to be March 16th, we're changing to March 23rd. >> That's all I have. So, we move on to our presentations. Mr. Greg Ashoff. >> Perfect. >> Thank you. So I'm sure for everybody here and the uh ones of people watching at home, I am thrilled to uh present uh the information about the math and business department for this year. So I am uh Mr. Greg Ashoff and I have the privilege of being the West Essex math and business supervisor. Each year I get the opportunity to talk to the the board of ed and the public a little bit about our department and what we've been working on and so I am enthusiastic to share a little bit about some information
007that uh that I have uh in terms of what we've been doing this year. So, first uh this was our uh our Halloween. We always do an annual Halloween costume. And so, this particular year, I actually had a PD, so I'm not in the picture, but uh this was probably my favorite costume. Uh if those of you who have uh you know, students at the high school or children at the high school, you'll know that they can't go anywhere without their Starbucks. So, the fact that we all dressed as baristas that day, I think was uh pretty apppropo to uh what it feels like every morning at West Essex anyway. So, that was really great. So, those are that's our high school team. And we also have our middle school team as well. Uh they
008I I believe they also had a pretty good um Halloween costume this year also, but they didn't send me the the group picture in time. Uh but we have some some tremendous talent uh in both schools. Speaking of some of our tremendous talent, we have of course some sad news for the district, but good news for the two uh teachers in particular. Uh it was already announced to the board, so this isn't a surprise, but we are wishing a um enjoyable retirement to Miss Jenny Tom and to Mr. Vin Cartetta. So both of them have done a a tremendous amount of work for the school district and together have been here for a really uh extensive period of time. Uh Jenny's worked with the district for 20 years and she's been a vanguard for both
009our AP statistics and AP calculus programs helping them to really thrive for the past I would say at least seven years and possibly longer. And then uh Mr. Caretta uh Vin has been here for over 10 years and has taken our computer science program to only a couple of classes to a really thriving program to the point where we actually had to even bring in other teachers to start teaching it because so many students were signing up for that course. And so we hope to uh find some really strong uh impressive teachers to help continue that legacy and help to make sure that those programs continue to thrive. And that's a big project that I'm focusing on right now and hopefully I'll be able to present to you some candidates very soon. Uh and we'll
010we'll be able to move forward from that. So we will miss them certainly and West Essex is certainly going to um you know uh be be lacking in their professionalism and their dedication and uh we hope that we can uh continue you know the mission that they have been on uh for our students which is a great thing. Uh so tonight we're going to talk a little bit about our district and department goals. So, as you're familiar with, we already have our district goals which include cultivating career readiness and real world experiences for students and ensuring a positive inclusive school culture and climate. Additionally, we also uh focusing on our mastery program within our department, an initiative that we had started last year uh to help building uh to help continue building on student success
011and also understanding. So, talking about cultivating career readiness and real world experiences, our business department uh has been doing a a bang-up job of this. So, uh, last, uh, year. So, I always report right around the time that these, um, trips happen. So, they're actually both tomorrow is the start of our DECA trip and then the week after that is our FBLA trip. So, I'm happy to report that last year we had over 80 students participate in the competitions. Uh, and we had 14 students finish in the top 10 in the state, which is, if you uh, do the odds on that, I think that's about 20%, which is quite impressive. Uh, and then two qualified for the national competition overall, which is really, really, really something to be proud of. Uh the Turkey Classic
012which is organized by our super management course in conjunction with Syracuse University was proud to host its seventh year. The high school teachers of which I was on the team for did manage to defeat the middle school teachers which was a very important moment. Uh and then we were defeated unfortunately uh by I believe the girls volleyball team uh in the final round. And so it was a it was an epic uh and slightly humbling experience certainly for me who took it very seriously. but uh but also enjoyed it. Uh and the last piece of news from our business department is that our AP macro and microeconomics courses are being merged. That was something that the curriculum committee was nice enough to approve. Uh and that's going to be a unified course called AP economics.
013The goal of that course is to help take our AP scores which are already very strong and helped have them continue to grow and also allow us to focus on the entire course as like a holistic understanding as opposed to just kind of pulling from different spots uh here and there. Uh the teacher who's been teaching it uh is super excited. it was actually one his his was his main idea. So he had a lot of enthusiasm and we know that buyin is going to be really important for our students. So that's going to be a really good change. Uh in math we uh were proud to offer NJSLA and NJGPA boot camps. Uh we offered them last year uh for our students who needed them and then as well as in September. I'm proud
014to report that for our NJSLA results in the seventh grade where we focused on our boot camps, we did see an increase uh in our in our percentage passing which was excellent. And for our NJGPA um boot camp that we offered this fall, for students that had had a hard time passing it initially in the spring prior, we were able to get a significant number of students to pass on that second goound, which is something that again our uh the teachers who were involved with that were really proud of and so we were really happy to provide that for our students and give them an opportunity to show what they know and to help improve their skills, which is great. Um we do have some new benchmark tests coming out at the middle school. So
015we've been using I Ready this year. I Ready is a learning platform as well as an assessment to determine sort of where a student's skill is. Uh it's similar to some of the tests that we've been using in the past, but it creates a unified program for our students rather than sort of a patchwork, which is what was happening prior to that. Uh and uh the students are now in the middle of using that platform to continue their learning at home. Uh and we are also looking at some opportunities for 2627 at the high school to continue. who I doesn't unfortunately offer like a robust high school product, but we're looking for something similar that possibly we can bring in to help support our students at the high school level as well. Last but not
016least, we have been using Atlas as uh many of you know, we've been using Atlas as part of our initiative this year for our curriculum. And one of the main focal points our department had in the PD that we took place two weeks ago uh was to focus on some of our interdisciplinary standards to see where the math was being used um in in our core subject area and also a focal point that we're hoping to continue as we use Atlas is to have other subjects indicate to us where they're using mathematics so that we can help bounce ideas off each other and help continue to make the uh the curriculum be like a living document where students work together which is important of course. Um, in terms of our uh positive inclusive school culture
017and climate, we are uh so we've had um gosh uh this is probably the since I've been supervisor. So seventh uh intrastate supervisor meeting uh over 40 districts come. I know I think I say this every year, but for the the benefit of the new board members, they can hear this. Uh I really really like uh hosting here because I I feel like when they get here, they're like, "This is a pretty nice campus." And uh so it's a point of pride for me that they get to see where I where we work. um and uh and get like a sense of like kind of like what it's like to to be here. And that's something that having been a student here as well, that's something that I really uh enjoy kind of showing off.
018Uh we continue our no place for hate initiative through the guidance department uh which is uh taking place both in the middle school and high school throughout the year. Uh we are using our building thinking classroom lessons to improve student conversation and connection. And I've done a couple of observations this month and last month where I saw some teachers really implement it in a cool way. So I'm excited to see that continue to grow. Um, our math mastery and achievement committee continues to look at mastery and see ways that we can help improve uh and and sort of, you know, encourage student learning, but at the same time be appreciative of student stress and anxiety. Uh, and uh we are extra uh curricular programs including FBLA, DECA, our math honors society, our math competitions, and
019our computer science club continue to be thriving programs. DEC and FBALA are leaving this week for their trips and we have actually this year over a hundred students between the two. So, we're every year we're increasing the number of students who attend. Um, which and and as as Melissa knows, the buses seem to get more expensive every year, too. So, uh, but it's been, uh, it's been a great opportunity for them to, uh, to have the opportunity to compete, uh, with their with their colleagues and their friends down in Atlantic City. Our math honor society this year inducted 19 students, I should say last year. Uh, and this year, we're obviously going to be looking forward to academic achievement day to, uh, induct some more students into that, uh, prestigious group. Um, uh, I talk
020a little bit about this actually, so I'll I'll go very quickly on this slide, but, uh, it was a really, uh, great way to sort of target instruction towards students who might have needed a little bit of extra support on some of our state testing. We're going to continue to use that model this year as well as augment and supplement it so that basically our goal being to to make sure that our state tests represent the hard work that our students and our teachers put in to preparing for these assessments. And so, we're going to continue to support those students. Uh, and the results so far have been pretty heartening. So, it's a good thing that we will continue to do that in my opinion. Um, uh, this, uh, just a couple pictures here just
021to give you an idea. So, this is our math competition. Uh, these were the students that went this year. These are our high school students, some of which ended up in Cal 3, actually. So, it's nice to see them. In fact, one of them is in this room right now. Uh, we'll introduce her shortly. Uh, and this was our math counts and AMC 8 test. So, you'll notice, by the way, pretty clever. It says West Essex Mathletics, which I think is pretty good. Uh, not my idea. Not my idea. That was Miss Priori who's the adviser there. She looks like one of the students. But uh and congratulations to on the AMC8. Our top three scorers in the school were Elijah Gal, Oscar Trappla, and um Tyler Rap. And Tyler actually scored um a a
022very high score for the AMC8. The AMC8 is part of a suite of competitions. There's an AMC 8 10 and 12. And so, uh, once you reach the AMC 10 and the AMC 12, you actually can with a high score continue to compete nationally, um, in in those types of tests. So, that's a very impressive result from our middle school cohort and obviously a good, uh, good results to look forward to. Um, this is something that, uh, Rogate and G&T have been working on. Uh, Sienna, I won't put you on the spot. However, I think you know challenge 24, right? >> Yes. So, the idea is uh, you have to be able to use those four numbers in any mathematical operation to get to 24. which I won't put her on the spot to do,
023but I'm sure she would have nailed it. Uh I got to stop in and see the middle school students working on it and they were uh really really cool. Uh and so they were they were working really hard on it and having a lot of fun. They're actually going to be competing with schools around the state for this. So it's a it's a kind of a cool little um uh you know hobby and and activity for them to be working on. Uh and then last but not least, I believe I'm talking about the mastery labs and that is uh how we've been integrating uh support for our mastery. So in the middle school, our administrative team helps provide uh support through the learning lab and the mastery labs. At the high school, we have a
024team of teachers who assist with that as well. Students have the opportunity to show us what they know and if they don't do so well on a particular assessment, they're allowed to come back and try again effectively as many times as they need to um to basically demonstrate that they have mastered the material. So we continue to use that program to help build out the curriculum both on the core competencies and also allow our summit of assessments to reflect broader understandings because we can you know make sure that we use masteries to say okay do you understand how to do x y and z and then we can use our regular tests to say now that you understand how to do x y and z can you use x y and z in the different
025scenarios. Um here's some student work here. So these are all uh some a couple of different uh examples. The middle school on the left made some stained glass windows. We have some examples from geometry on the top. We have a calculus uh example that was uh handdrawn by a very talented young uh young lady who's an artist uh in the the center uh center there. And then on the right hand um is Chipotle fast food, which is something you can discuss tonight with your families. Uh that was a statistical um analysis. I would argue fast casual, which I do think is its own category. However, I will leave it to you guys to debate that amongst your families this evening. Um our last piece of information is uh how we've been using data and our
026big big ideas curriculum rollout is now complete. our math 8 and algebra 2 students how are also now utilizing these texts which means that if you were a student at West Essex uh prior to this year uh you probably like especially when I was here you would have done like a different curriculum every like year uh and so now we are proud to announce that from seventh grade all the way to algebra 2 we have a unified single text even though I mean it's five books but it's a single text conceptually um through all uh all five years of core mathematics seven eight algebra uh geometry algebra 1 and algebra So that's a really good thing and a good step in the right direction. Uh and will help keep uh keep the vocabulary and sort
027of rigor and expectation really aligned as students continue through the program. And so at this point we're done with all of our programs. Um very good. Ah this doesn't count for math but I am going to take credit for this because a number of years a number of uh so I could I could do this Damian's gonna get mad at me so I went through the whole thing. But Operation Mince Meat was a show uh that I had seen that when I walked out of it, I I was there opening night. When I walked out of the show, I was like, I came into school the next day. I went to Laura Drago, the director of um uh social studies and world language, and I said, "Laura, you don't have to do anything but say
028yes. >> Let me take some students to this play." And she was like, "Yeah, that's fine." So I was so I I uh I took the lead on organizing a uh class trip for all of our juniors who were in US 2 to Operation Minsmme which is a uh a musical in New York City about a World War II intelligence operation. I won't go into any more detail than that but it was a huge success. Uh and if you haven't seen it, I recommend it. It was really good. And uh and I have I have I I have actually been to see it an unhealthy number of times. And that may seem odd, like a thing specific to me. This particular show, if you Google this show, you will find articles about a group of
029people, for some reason, I am of course now among them, who who see this show over and over again. There's something about it, they can't help themselves. So, it could be something compulsive. I don't know exactly what it is, but it really uh it really was uh was meaningful. And I think the students certainly enjoyed at least a day out in the sun uh in June to to watch a Broadway show. So, that was a nice opportunity. Um, very good. Uh before we get to our main event tonight, which is our student um independent study presentation, I'm happy to tell you about two students who are uh former uh alumni of West Essex. So the first uh young lady is named Riley Freiedman. I was uh fortunate enough to actually chat with her a little
030bit today. She's the class of 2024 and she's currently studying at Case Western University studying chemical biology on the pre-med track. She's involved in a stem cell research project and she's also working at the Cleveland Clinic as a nursing assistant. She said that taking AP courses helped her balance the workload and that her relationships with her teachers allowed her to feel uh confident connecting with her professors, which I thought was a really like nice thing that she had mentioned there. Uh she wanted to give a shout out to Miss Capen in calculus and Miss Tom Carroll in statistics who helped her uh make sure she understood what the the statistical tests that she's currently using in her lab actually mean and that they're understandable. Uh, the second one is going to seem a little suspicious
031and I swear I didn't want to do this, but I am very proud and you'll see why I'm about to show you this in a sec why I'm prefacing this in a second, but I'm also proud to to highlight Mr. Ryan Ashoff, who I know, but West Essex is no stranger to nepatism. Uh, so what I will what I will say is that uh so Ryan Ashoff just here's here's the only reason why I bring it up. He just graduated last year with a doctorate in mathematics. So I thought that that was apppropo to the uh department that we uh that I am engaged in and he was a uh he was a uh you know prestigious math student while I was here. He graduated in 2016. Uh he attended TCJ um in mathematics and
032then he went to University of California Riverside where he finished his doctoral degree. He graduated just last Mar uh last May sorry uh and he's currently doing uh work as a research professor at um Claremont Graduate University out in California. uh and he uh recalled when I spoke with him uh both Miss Tom Carol and Miss Alantano both igniting like a strong passion in his love for math. Uh and then that helped kind of set him on his path. So I just figured he was a good person to mention. Um but that is my part and so I appreciate you uh entertaining me or humoring me while I was uh while I was up here. However, really all of this was just that I could introduce the real main event tonight which is a West
033Essex senior. I was fortunate enough to have uh worked with the person I'm about to introduce for two years uh in school uh this year and the year before as her teacher and I've also known the family for a very long time as well. So they're uh they're you know all good all very good people but um Miss Sienna Jacobs is going to come up and tell you a little bit about her independent study into linear algebra. So I will go ahead and allow her to come on up. Okay. Wow. I don't know if I can beat that presentation, but um to go off of your challenge 24, Mr. Ashoff, the numbers were three, five, five, and four. You would multiply three by five and then add the nine to get your 24. Um, before
034I start my presentation though, I'd like to thank Mr. Ashaw for all of his help these past few years. He's been a great mentor and I'm truly thankful for um how much support he's given me. So, I did my independent study on linear algebra. My end of course research was done on quantum entanglement. So, I'm going to start off with an analogy. Picture you have two decks of cards, one red deck and one black deck. Say you choose one red card and one black card from each deck respectively. Then there's two boxes and you put each card into their own box. Then you mix the boxes up and you don't know which card is in which box. Say then I keep one of the boxes with me and I send the other box to Mars.
035I then one day open the box that I have and I see the red card. Therefore, by quantum entanglement, I know that the black card is in the Mars box. Let's dig a little deeper, though. What is quantum entanglement? It's where two or more particles become so deeply linked that they share a single unified quantum state. This state is independent of the distance separating them. When you measure the state of one particle, that instantly determines the state of the other particle. This occurrence happens faster than the speed of light. This is why when the red card was discovered to be in the first box, we instantly knew that the second box contained the black card. A common example in quantum entanglement is if you have two entangled particles, you know that one is spinning up
036and the other is spinning down. So when you measure one to be spinning up, you instantly know the other one is facing down. A little bit of background on quantum entanglement. Albert Einstein referred to it as spooky action at a distance. The reason for this is because before quantum entanglement was discovered, he had created the theory of special relativity which stated that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. So the ability to instantly measure the quantum state of one particle by measuring the quantum state of its entangled particle or entangled partner somewhere else in the universe indicates that the information must have passed faster than the speed of light. This concept obviously contradicts Einstein's theory. To this day, NASA scientists are still working to unravel the mysteries of our quantum universe. what I've
037learned in linear algebra so far. Unit one was systems of linear equations, which was a big review of calculus 3. Unit two was linear transformations and matrix operations. Unit three was LU factorization and determinants. Unit four was igen values and inner products. This one was my favorite unit. And unit five was le squares and singular value decomposition. So I'm going to show you an example from the igen values and inner products unit. So if you consider the matrix A= 3113 and you set up the characteristic equation that's the determinant of A the matrix 3113 minus lambda * I which is the unit matrix 1 0 01 and that's set equal to zero. So when you set that up, it comes out to the matrix of 3 - lambda 1 1 and 3 - lambda which
038equals 0. In calculating the determinant, you do 3 - lambda^ 2 - 1^ 2 and set that equal to 0. That comes out to lambda^ 2 - 6 lambda + 8 = 0. When you factor this, you're solving for values. So what is an igen value? It's essentially like the slope in a y = mx plusb equation. It's a scale factor which determines how much you stretch or flatten a system. So transitioning back to quantum entanglement, a quantum system is described by a vector typically written in the notation above. If vectors can be added in linear algebra, quantum states can also be added. Entanglement arises when combining systems. In linear algebra, combining systems uses the tensor product. If system A has space V and system B has space W, the joint system lives in V
039tensored with W. Some vectors in the tensor product space cannot be written as simple products of two smaller vectors. Those vectors are entangled states. That's all. Thank you. or anything, right? >> Sienna, thank you so much for presenting that to us. We know it can be intimidating like coming before the board, but we love when the students come up because then we realize how >> as far as we know, that was amazing. I mean, >> your head, right? >> We're always in awe over like how smart >> the students are. >> Question for you. >> Sure. >> He understands about that. >> No, no, no. But I was just curious. Um is that applicable to quantum um um computers? Like the concept of entanglement, can that be applied to because you know quantum um computers
040are the next generation, right? >> So the unit that I was working with before I led into quantum entanglement, I was focusing on binary as well and seeing how that can apply to quantum entanglement. Um because essentially with binary you either have the one or the zero and that's like quantum entanglement. You have something that's either spinning up or spinning down essentially in the analogy. So it does it can tie into >> quantum computing. That's amazing. >> Sure. >> Yeah. Sure. >> What what is your future? What do you see? What are you going to be doing and where? >> So I have committed to the University of Michigan for aerospace engineering. Wow, >> that's amazing. >> Congratulations to you and to mom and dad. >> Thank you so much. >> Thanks. >> Um, I
041didn't I didn't want to say the word, but I agree. Okay. Um, well, I guess we've had some comments from board members. Do we have any committee reports or any comments? >> I just have one I just have one. Sorry. >> Okay. >> That was amazing. Thank you again. Um, Mr. Murray, you mentioned um the culinary students and so I just wanted to bring up during our last board meeting which was our board retreat which for members of the public it's a four to five hours of real strenuous training. But the culinary students uh provided an amazing dinner for us and I just want to say thank you to them if they're if they're listening or if they watch the YouTube link. It was fantastic. So >> I did actually send a thank you on
042behalf of the board. No, I know you saw that, but I mean they were phenomenal. And I did get a a response back from Chef uh Rob. He was saying, you know, the kids enjoyed it. They were, you know, like thrilled to be able to do that for us. They just did an amazing job. >> Volcano. >> Yeah, they did. >> Thanks, John. Anyone else have any comments? >> So, the uh we met with the public relations firm last week. We are currently working on updating the website to provide of areas of concern that will be brought up during the referendum and that we want to address with renovation and an addition. So we are working with the PR firm on a slideshow and slide presentation which will be on our website and video which
043will come out so that people can get a true feeling of what our concern is here. in the district. You know, we we are very lucky because we have an excellent maintenance crew who have kept up with things over the years and have truly really poured, you know, their heart and soul into maintaining everything and keeping everything um you know, as much age appropriate in a building that they can. But we have to remember that the building was from you know the early60s and things do change and things do wear and tear and um this is what we're truly looking at going forward with the referendum and um we look forward to having everything transparent for the communities to be able to go on the website and see. So that's our next we will be
044meeting again this week to review a few things. We've opened it up to the ad hoc committee to go over a few changes and get a different venue of what we are looking at and um so we're we're moving forward. Anything I missed? >> Great. >> Thank you, Deb. Okay. Um at this time, we'll open up the floor for public comments on agenda items. Do we have any public comment? Okay, there being none, we'll move on to finance. Ray, do you want to take finance? >> Sure. Uh, the following finance motions are made at the recommendation of the superintendent in the schools. Anything placed on this agenda, items 1 through 7 will be voted upon in one motion. And I so, >> any questions or comments? >> Mr. Andre, >> yes. >> Miss Crisal, >>
045yes. >> Miss Giovani, >> yes. >> Miss Holl, >> yes. >> Miss Calderon, >> yes. >> Mr. Sher, >> yes. Mr. Sampone. >> Yes. >> Mr. Toad, >> yes. >> Miss Wadwitz, >> yes. >> Um, Jonathan, do you want to take buildings and grounds, please? >> Sure. >> Following building and ground motions made recommendation of the superintendent of schools. Anything placed on this agenda item one motion. >> Second. >> Any questions or comments? >> Call the Mr. Andre. the following personal motion. >> Yes. >> You got it. Miss >> Chris. >> Yes.
