F. Public Participation:
Adriana Delta, 10 Aspen Place
Ms. Delta expressed her concerns for the next school year with regards to the combining of students (middle school students and elementary students) and asked how the younger students will be protected from the older students due to the issues in the middle school (gangs, knives, guns, etc.).
Mr. Muñoz thanked the parent for expressing her concerns and responded that the district would continue to have SROs at all schools and stated that the number of security aides have increased in all schools. Mr. Muñoz said it is ultimately the responsibility of the school administrator and staff members for schools to run well and keep the students protected. Mr. Muñoz shared that grouping K – 8 students is not a new concept, although it may be new to Passaic, it is not new across the United States and said that the middle-aged students would be from the same neighborhood and would be siblings of the younger students. Mr. Muñoz said that it is his experience that discipline improves in K-8 schools and the district would do its best to keep every child safe.
Mr. Patel stated that the framing of the parent’s question criminalizes our students and said that these are students that are already in our schools and will continue additional years in their neighborhood schools. Mr. Patel said that by creating the K-8 neighborhood schools it would reduce number of changes in schools the students attend, provide a smooth transition from an overcrowded middle and high school, and will also address issues such as safety, academics, as well as, provide a better coordinated athletic program for middle school students. Mr. Patel thanked the parent for coming forward with her concerns and said that our students should be looked at in a positive, not a negative light.
Mr. Rosario pointed out to the parent that her children would now be in one school and all would have the same entry and dismissal times, making it easier for the parents to make arrangements. Mr. Rosario also stated that older students would be able to assist by taking and picking up their siblings from before and after school care and continue on to the high school of their choice. The changes would also help the city by creating a better traffic flow.
Ruth Rangel, 39 High Street
Ms. Rangel had concerns with lock down and safety procedures in the schools. Ms. Rangel said that she received a letter stating the arrival and dismissal times as well as what entrance the students should be using; however, she continues to see students entering through the main entrance and doors which are left open and not secured. In December Ms. Rangel saw students being asked to hold door open for other students to enter.
Ms. Rangel said that she continues to see high school students hanging out in the library during the school day and no one came from the school to remove the student after she made several calls. Ms. Rangel asked how these students are leaving the high school during the school day.
Ms. Rangel also said that parents are taking pictures of students on school grounds where other students are included in the picture and posting them on “facebook”.

Joseph Conoscienti, 170 Broadway
Mr. Conoscienti asked the Coordinator of Security the following:
How many metal detectors are being used at the high school and middle school; How many x-ray units are currently being used at the high school and middle school; What is the state of security within all City of Passaic schools in the 17-18 school year; Do all school SROs adhere to the City of Passaic/DOE policies, i.e., first priority on all active school shootings; What is the state of MS-13, etc. gang recruitments within the high school and other public schools within the City of Passaic.
Mr. Patel responded that there is a lot of concern in light of what is happening and that the board is very vigilant and wants to make sure our students are safe and remain safe. Mr. Patel said there is hope that a part of the K-8 realignment would be an effective measure against gang recruitment.
Mr. Patel stated that due to security reasons, the board would not discuss/reveal the processes the schools have in place, but stressed that the SROs and security aides are vigilant and doing a tremendous job, and the board is focused on preventive measures.
High School Student
The student asked how students are going to be placed in the new high schools and when information will be provided.
Mr. Muñoz explained that information will be on the district website and a brochure, which will explain the application process, will be coming out very soon. Mr. Muñoz provided an explanation of what the process would be for the open enrollment of students wishing to apply to the new high schools. Principals will also provide presentations to the students and community meetings across the city to explain the procedures for parents. Assistance will be provided to parents, if needed, to complete the online application.
Mr. Muñoz said the application for the Gifted and Talented Academy would be out shortly, and soon thereafter, the applications for the Prep and Science high schools would be available and on the district website.
Mr. Rosario commented that an overwhelming majority of teachers work very hard and would put themselves in the line of fire for their students. Mr. Rosario said that the district, city officials and council members are on the same page and have constant communication to assure everyone that proper security methods are in place.
Mr. Patel stated that the district has a very positive relationship with the City’s Police Department and work very effectively together; and the number of SROs and Security personnel has increased, for the district, in the past five years. The district also hired the former Police Chief as the district’s Coordinator of Security.
