REPORT OF STATE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Clancy: There is a written report available as people are coming in with important information. I really have no extensive report today. I just want to read a notice that I received from the Passaic County Division of Health relative to the water situation, which we dealt with today. The Passaic Valley Water Authority has notified the Passaic County Department of Health that the Boil Water Advisory has been lifted as of 3:00 p.m. today. So if anybody has any questions relative to that, they are to contact the Health Officer and Director Deborah Rucki-Drake at Passaic County. I know today in Page 1 2/10/05 the schools we had to shut off or at least tape up and not allow the children or anybody to drink any of the water. They were telling us it was 24 hours but it was through today so it has been lifted. We did send notices home so that the parents would have the notices. Again, it has been lifted as of 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. Thank you. REPORT OF BOARD PRESIDENT Comm. Hodges: The Paterson School District has the obligation of establishing a district-wide Facilities Advisory Board. Its purpose is to have ongoing discussions about school planning, design and construction. The Facilities Advisory Board will help ensure that a broad range of views are considered in the planning process, that the process itself is viewed with legitimacy and support, and that the final plan will be understood and championed by the community. The Board shall be comprised of representatives from the following groups: district administrators, including Board of Education representation; district instruction and curriculum program decision-makers and/or planners; school administrators and teachers for all program types; parents; community group representatives; municipal officials, meaning the Mayor, City Council members, planning board members, redevelopment agency members; and consultants retained by the district for completion of the Long Range Facility Plan, including a licensed architect and engineer. Those persons interested in serving on the Board should contact the Office of the Interim State Superintendent at 35 Church Street. An advertisement will be placed in the local newspapers as well. Please be aware that a considerable time commitment may be involved. The Mayor’s office and the municipal government will be contacted as to representatives that they may wish to send. We will be moving to seat that Board on or before March 1st. That concludes my report. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS ONLY It was moved by Comm. Sayegh, seconded by Comm. Taylor that the Public Comments on Agenda Items Only portion of the meeting be opened. Comm. Brown: Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the untimely death of an individual from Paterson. Comm. Sayegh: We have a motion on the floor. Comm.

These 30 mills were recognized by Mayor Jeffery Jones, the Paterson Historic Preservation Commission’s staff and by industrial historians as representing a highly significant but largely underappreciated cultural resource directly associated with the expansion of Paterson when it was known worldwide as “The Silk City” during the half century dating from roughly 1875 to 1925. The “30 mills” survey was initiated by the City of Paterson with the expressed goal of identifying and surveying historic large-scale mills located in parts of the city outside of the Great Falls district. The project was funded by a Certified Local Government Grant-in-Aid from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Historic Preservation Office (NJHPO). This came in recognition by Mayor Jeffery Jones that these buildings should play an important role in future development plans and that they are an important cultural assets scattered throughout much of the city.

  • Cash on Delivery!
    February 24, 2020 Cash On Delivery! Stunning Three-Pointer from Half Court Puts Ghosts into Passaic County Tournament Final Eastside will face Kennedy on Saturday It was number three, Joshua Cash, whose three points at the buzzer put the Eastside Ghosts over the top for a win over Paterson Charter School 59-56 in the Passaic County Tournament semifinals on Saturday. “Definitely the biggest shot of my life,” Cash said to sportswriter Darren Cooper of The Record. “I knew once we got the rebound, they would all retreat and once I got across half court, that’s when they came at me. I had enough time to get off a shot and I hit it.” Cooper reported that Cash’s game-winning shot quickly became known as “Cash on Delivery” among the many fans who packed the gymnasium at the Kennedy Education Complex. A jubilant Eastside Coach Marquise Webb embraced Cash after the team’s victory as fans celebrated on the hardwood. Later Saturday, the top-seeded Kennedy Knights beat Passaic 63-52. The two teams will face off against each other in the tournament final on Saturday, Feb. 29, at noon at Wayne Valley High School. Also last Saturday, the Kennedy Lady Knights lost to Wayne Valley after a valiant double-overtime effort. GOT NEWS for The Paterson Post?

    Project Narrative I. Quality of Project Design The Paterson Public School (PPS) District is fully committed to continuing the development of our Full Service Community Schools (FSCS) Initiative in Paterson, New Jersey. Superintendent Eileen Shafer has prioritized the development and expansion of community schools under Paterson Strategic Plan, Brighter Futures; and is strongly supported by Paterson’s community members, families, and schools. PPS has successfully implemented the FSCS model in five schools and previously was awarded the Full Service Community Schools Program Grant in 2010 and 2015. Paterson, along with strong community partnerships, has sustained our first three schools funded by the 2010 grant, and they continue to flourish today providing academic intervention and enrichment through extended learning opportunities, education programs and workshops for parents, and operate a school-based health clinic with an emphasis on mental and behavioral health. Paterson opened two additional FSCS through the 2015 grant and they have served 1,318 unduplicated residents, inclusive of 634 students, this year alone. Paterson has partnered with Children’s Aid Society, a nationally recognized leader in community schools, in both the 2010 and 2015 grants to receive technical assistance and guidance with implementing the FSCS model. Through our experience and partnerships, Paterson is ready to coordinate, support, and sustain additional community schools through this grant funding opportunity. a. Absolute Priority Paterson’s absolute priority with the 2018 Full Service Community Schools Grant Program opportunity is to serve two school buildings containing a combined five schools with strategies and support to develop pipeline services for students, families, and community members.
