Also present:

Ms. Horan opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.

DISCUSSIONS I PRESENTATIONS

Ms. Horan read a statement regarding a discussion for tonight with the district's architect firm Di Cara/Rubino (Joe Di Cara and Jerry Rubino). The topic is regarding an invoice the district received from Di Cara/Rubino for professional services for the Mackay Turf Project, and the district's request to have the service fee reduced more than it was for the missed scope of work and subsequent added costs. Board attorney Stephen Fogarty was present for the discussion.

Mr. Di Cara and Mr. Rubino gave a summary of the history concerning the Mackay Turf Project, information they were given by the district, cost estimates, bids, scope of work, conversations with Field Turf, specified time lines involved throughout the planning of the project, working with consortiums, and their declaration that the project is still under budget.

After the summary, the following lists some key points and questions raised by the Board and directed to Di Cara/Rubino:

• It would have been helpful if the information given tonight was communicated months ago regarding the Mackay Turf Project. • Given the 16-year relationship the district has with Di Cara/Rubino, and the 3.1 million dollars of business, the district trusts and relies on the architects for full and thorough information on a timely basis. • Why did the architects rely on the bid from Field Turf without doing their own engineering review of the' project, as they have done with other projects in our district to make sure the bid proposal was correct? • Mackay School field grading is one of the most important factors involved with laying of the field turf and should have been taken into consideration for proposal costs. • The Board took unprecedented action, as a bill of this nature has never not been approved. The Board made it clear on several occasions before tonight what their concerns were with the cost estimates.

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of July 22,2019 Page 3 Ms. DeMarco and Mr. Di Cara clarified some conversations regarding communications, including one from the civil engineer, about payment of the invoice and the ramifications if not paid. Mr. Bruno made a request for documents, relative to Ms. DeMarco's conversation and the project, to be attached to the July 22 Board Minutes.

The Board also discussed the process Di Cara/Rubino has used with the district for handling projects, and questioned if there is room for changes to be made for better communication. The architects explained their process when they receive and rely on bids, and stressed that the Mackay Turf Project came in under budget.

Mr. Usami discussed the process and how plans are developed, taking the budget into consideration. Mr. Usami also clarified that the legal guidance our district received is that a consortium is used for replacement turf only, not new turf.

Ms. Horan expressed that although the project came in under budget, the project is not completed yet and remains to be seen if it comes under budget when done; and other budgetary decisions were made based upon the proposals that were received, which included $190,000 of additional costs. She expressed that this led to some turmoil and culpability and the need for full communication on what transpired with the Mackay Project and Di Cara Rubino handling. The Board and administrators thanked Di Cara Rubino and Mr. Fogarty for attending the meeting tonight.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

A motion was made by Ms. Schwarz and seconded by Ms. Barbanel to approve the following Minutes: the Work Session and Closed Executive Meeting of June 10; the Regular Public Meeting and Closed Executive Meeting of June 17; and the Special Meeting of June 28, 2019.

Ms. Horan asked the Board if they had any questions or comments on the Minutes.

Mr. Bruno referred to the Minutes of the Special Meeting of June 28 and the Work Session of June 10, and expressed that, in particular, the essence of the conversations about Di Cara Rubino's professional services fee and resolution were not reflected in the Minutes.

A motion was made by Mr. Bruno and seconded by Ms. Israeli Miller to table the Minutes of the Work Session of June 10 and Special Meeting of June 28.

PUBLIC RECOGNITION-COMMUNITY COMMENTARY

Ms. Horan inquired if there were any members of the audience who wished to address the Board on any item listed on, or not listed on, the agenda.

Isaac Smith- 23-18 Watkins Ave., Fair Lawn- Isaac came tonight to give heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the support from the Board, superintendents, district staff, Mr. Fogarty, Union President Jackie Wellman, town residents and students during the past 3 very difficult years while his wife Maria, and Maugham School 5th grade teacher, was ill and who tragically passed away on June 21. He wanted to thank everyone for everything they have done to help.

Ms. Horan thanked Isaac for coming tonight and expressed how sorry the entire district is for Isaac's loss, and Maria's teaching and humanity impacted so many people.

BOARD PRESIDENT'S REPORT

No report.

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of July 22, 2019 Page 5 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Ms. DeMarco gave the following report with a few key points:

• Hoping our 10 month administrators, faculty and staff are having a fabulous summer • 12-month administrators and staff have been busily working on preparing for the rapidly-approaching new school year • Administrators' kickoff is less than one month away! • Kindergarten Enrollment and class placement remains underway

Ms. DeMarco addressed the following:

• We take this opportunity to remind all Tenafly taxpayers, as well as those soon-to-be Tenafly residents, that we are committed to maintaining adherence to policy and legal code when it comes to registering new students. We do not hold spots for forthcoming house closings or rental agreements. TBOE Policy for registration requires proof of residency in Tenafly, which means a deed or lease presented on/after its valid date. Free and Public Education rights take effect when a child is domiciled in a home in the district, which requires not only that his parents own the home, but that he/she is sleeping there on a regular basis. This is not possible prior to a house closing or finalized rental agreement. Once all required information is received- including proof of residency and domicile- then we place the child in the neighborhood school (provided there is space) or in another school that has space. This is not exclusive to Tenafly, but the process that, by NJ law, all districts should be abiding by.

• We are excited to welcome our newest Tigers to the Tenafly Public Schools! All documents for registering are available on our website for completion and families are encouraged to call for an appointment to submit the required paperwork as soon as they close on a house or execute a rental agreement.

• Ms. DeMarco thanked the public for understanding that in the summer rollover process of a district's student system, it is not uncommon to experience changes in settings that make reinstitute default settings. This often results in exposure to class placement and student placement activity prior to completion, as was the case today for a brief period of time.

• She thanked them for remembering that information that might be viewable via the parent of student portal prior to the completion of our work is not deemed valid and is not confirmed. We will continue to address these issues to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence in the future and apologize for any inconvenience that maybe caused.

In closing, Ms. DeMarco offered wishes of a safe, fun and happy summer to our entire school community.

Ms. Barbanel referred to tonight's Resolution A-2 First Reading of Bylaw 0168 and suggested adding some additional language to the bylaw for the second reading. Ms. DeMarco suggested that Ms. Barbanel review the bylaws/policy for wording she wishes to have added regarding the topic being discussed.

Mr. Bruno referred to the High School gym, installed in 1972, and work that has been done so far and asked at what point a floor gets replaced. Mr. Usami replied that he will find out, but the floor does not need replacement at this time and the plan is to have work done to have a refurbished floor.

Ms. Horan mentioned that a community member inquired about the ballfields being maintained. Mr. Usami clarified that in addition to Smith School's field work under construction, he asked our Bldgs. & Grounds Supervisor to make sure the ballfields of the High School, Middle School and Stillman School are dragged, and the plan is to routinely keep fields

REPORTS I DISCUSSIONS

Communications and Policy Committee

Ms. Schwarz reported the committee met on July 15,2019, at 6:00p.m. The people in attendance were: Shauna DeMarco, Yas Usami, Bob Caputo, Patty Flynn, Janet Horan and Jocelyn Schwarz.

Topics discussed:

Findings of Boardroom technoloov capabilities for "tele-conferencing" for Board members; committee discussion of tele-conferencing for Board members

The committee discussed implementing a teleconferencing policy for instances when a trustee is unable to attend a meeting. After reviewing a variety of sample policies and consulting with Stephen Fogarty, the committee is not recommending moving forward with this policy. Stephen does not recommend it, and we are not currently equipped with the proper technology to do this effectively so that everyone involved can be heard and understood; therefore, the committee is not recommending moving forward with this policy.

Final Discussion of Policy/Regulation Revisions/Comment from committee before proceeding to Attorney Review

We conducted a final review of the nutrition policy and regulation, and it will be sent to Stephen and then be presented to the full board soon. Our 151 reading of the Recording Board Meetings policy will be presented at tonight's meeting.

Findings of Environmental policy example (helium balloons, plastic straws, Styrofoam)

We reviewed a sample District Sustainability Policy. This encompasses some of the environmental areas we are interested in exploring, but not all. For example, it does not directly address banning the use of helium balloons or plastic straws/bags. We discussed a few areas of importance to the committee and decided that this would be a great starting point for our discussions at our September Board Retreat when we create our new district goals. This discussion will also touch on recycling and nutrition, which are both areas that the Board has expressed an interest in exploring further.

Updates on Blackboard's anonymous reporting capabilities

The committee had a few outstanding questions about Blackboard's anonymous reporting app capabilities. We learned that we are able to add or delete reporting categories, which is something we were very interested in doing. Unfortunately, however, we are unable to separate students from parents for reporting purposes, and there is no 2-way communication available. We have been discussing the idea of implementing an anonymous Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of July 22, 2019 Page 9 reporting app for quite a while, and have fully vetted the various options. The hesitation is around whom in the district will actually monitor and address the reports in real time, and whether or not there is a true need for this. Ms. DeMarco is meeting with the ABS team on September 161h and will discuss this idea with them at that time and then report back to the committee.

Plan for district website - to encourage consistency across buildings/classrooms at the start of the new school year

Consistency across teacher and building websites will be an important focus this coming year as Ms. DeMarco meets with Principals a few times each month. They will strive to identify what an effective and efficient website at each level looks like, and then implement that across the board.

New/Old Business (listed in report)

New business item -there were some calendar conflicts at the end of the 2018-19 school year that resulted in parents needing to make choices between attending events for their children. In the specific example given, one of the meetings was mandatory, so the parent had no choice but to attend that event. Ms. DeMarco will work with the building principals to minimize these types of situations in the future, but sometimes it is unavoidable. In situations where there is a mandatory meeting that may conflict with an event at another school, maybe other date/time options could be offered.

Date. Time, Place of the Next Meeting: October 21. 2019

Curriculum and Technology Committee

Mr. Salaski reported that the committee met earlier this evening and will continue their discussions at 8:00a.m. on July 25, and he will give his reports at the Work Session on August 18.

Ms. Flynn asked Mr. Fogarty if a placing a sign would be enough to protect the district of liability for warning the public about not using the track/field in extreme heat. He said the regulation of the facilities is solely at the Boards discretion, and if a policy is not enacted, signage is always a good idea. Mr. Fogarty stated the Board has a right to determine a certain temperature of when the track/field should be closed to the public; however, he added that if a person goes into cardiac arrest as a result of running on the track in 100 degree temperature, he doesn't believe that the district has liability for that in and of itself.
