Student Representative Report:

The school year is well underway and seniors have been communicating with their advisors to evaluate their graduation plans. All hands are on deck to make sure that every student is on track towards graduation with a clear plan. Assistant Principal Reynaldo Acevedo and his team of senior class advisors are exposing the senior class to all the opportunities available to ensure seniors graduate on time and they are college and career ready. A new strategy is currently being implemented to help seniors stay organized. Seniors are organized into one of the following groups: Green Emerald, Red Topaz, Blue Sapphire, and Gray Diamond. This new organization method helps students stay ahead of deadlines, meeting dates, and other important information. Students have access to their groups through Google classroom.

One of the opportunities available to the seniors is that of the Criminal Justice pathway. Students interested in this pathway have the opportunity to complete the Fit4Basic Pre-Police program this Fall, 2019. The program offers 2.5 high school credits, CPR/First Aid certification, a criminal forensic certificate, and the national 911/EMD certification. The potential salary for a full-time dispatcher is approximately $40,000. With these credentials, our graduates will be extremely marketable and employable!

The United States Hispanic Leadership Institute and McDonalds held a summit at Passaic High School on October 2, for juniors and seniors. USHLI is known for promoting education and leadership development by maximizing student engagement and participation. The event consisted of motivational assemblies and a college recruitment fair in an effort to expose students to key educational resources. We are beyond grateful for being one of the ten high schools across the nation to be granted the opportunity to attend this event.

Students were given another opportunity to learn more about the college application process at the first Pipeline Mentorship meeting held this school year. CBS News visited our school to promote a group of Hispanic lawyers in New Jersey who make monthly visits to our meetings. Pipeline attorneys take the time to mentor students through academic challenges and provide guidance through the college application process. An admissions officer from Rutgers University shared important deadlines and requirements that are part of the college application process, such as resumes, personal statements, and financial aid applications needed for post-secondary education and future careers. At this Pipeline Mentorship meeting, students were inspired to reach their academic potential; students were excited, motivated and learned that they can achieve their dreams by utilizing all the resources available and hard work.

On October 2, Passaic High School held Back to School Night for the 2019-2020 school year, and it was remarkable. Parents and students gained valuable information regarding academic experiences and the many resources constantly offered to all students to ensure their success.

Our school also started a project known as “Adopt a Hall,” where classes and extracurricular activities visually promote their organization’s school spirit within a designated section of the hallway.

Student Council, Pipeline Mentorship, and National Honor Society, are currently working together as we work to register all eligible students to vote. Our goal is to raise student awareness about the importance of civic engagement in our community. By registering students to vote, we are learning that our voices count and we also have a say in our society.

Student Council is also trying to raise awareness about the environment and how we can reduce our footprint. We are currently investigating strategies to start a recycling program in the classrooms, and we welcome your guidance and assistance.

We look forward to further developing our student-based projects and initiatives to continue to enhance and support the efforts of the Passaic High School staff, to ensure we reach our full potential.

President Soto asked the Student Representative to expand on the “new strategy” which is currently being implemented to help high school seniors stay organized. The representative explained that group meetings, including parents, are held, which will explain deadlines and provide important information to the students and parents.

Public Participation:

Ruth Rangel 39 High Street, Apt. B1

Ms. Rangel stated she feels her son is being targeted, on purpose, in his school. She has had many meetings and phone calls and the response is “it will be taken care of”. An envelope containing paperwork was given to the Superintendent of Schools for review. She feels that her son is not getting an adequate education. She will be having a one-to- one meeting next Monday at his school.

President Soto thanked Ms. Rangel and reminded her that she knows how to reach him.

Ms. Rangel thanked the Board for their time.

Karlina Guichardo, 124 Autumn Street

Ms. Guichardo stated that she has applied for various district positions online. She checks the status of her application every day. She feels she is a great candidate and has the required experience. Ms. Guichardo asked what she has to do in order to get an opportunity for an interview.

President Soto responded that he will follow up.

Report of the President:

President Soto shared that he attended 1) an assembly at PHS on 10/02/19, and 2) the School No. 6 mural dedication on October 14th . He was happy to see that the students enjoyed it and glad that the mural was done.

Report of the Superintendent:

Mr. Muñoz stated there are two reports to be presented tonight. The first report would be the HIB Self-Assessment for 2018-2019 which would be presented by Dr. Mayra Silva, Director of Student Advocacy (copy of report attached).

The second report would be the 2019 Assessments which will be presented by Ms. Stefania Duarte, Director of Planning and Research (copy of report is on the district website).

Several board members had questions regarding the information presented on the report.

Mr. Muñoz and Ms. Goldberg provided responses.

Mr. Rodriguez requested that next year’s presentation should include not only the percentages of increases, but the percentages of decreases as well.

Committee Reports: Ms. Capursi spoke about her attendance at the Technology and Learning Leadership Summit in Chicago highlighting the following:

o Technology in education – digital portfolios for students o Argonne National Laboratory – many different opportunities for careers in STEM fields; students can apply for paid internships.

President Soto reminded the board that he would like each committee to meet at least quarterly.
