Board Comments:
Laura Stinziano - This Board was committed to work very hard to find ourselves a permanent Superintendent. It probably shocked some people out there and surprised that this Board actually really worked hard, and worked well together and we were actually able to find a permanent Superintendent. The Board is so excited and is really happy to announce that Dr. Toback will be the next Superintendent of Wayne Public Schools, and after the vote, Dr. Toback you can speak to us, and that would be wonderful.

* Don Pavlak, Jr. abstained potential conflict
Dr. Toback addressed the Board and the Community - Let me just start by saying that I am absolutely honored to have the opportunity to serve Wayne as the next Superintendent of Schools. I stand before you to day to listen and learn about the district from the students, the parents, the staff, the administrators, the board and the community members. I look forward to working together for the upcoming school year. I want to thank the Board members for their confidence in me, and the effort they put into a rigorous interview process for the past month. When the Board of Education interviews an applicant for Superintendent of schools, the candidate is also interviewing the board. And based on the many exchanges that to ok place during the interview process, I certainly enjoyed learning about the board. I enjoyed learning about the school district. I am very excited to be here, very comfortable to be here with you this evening. I live locally with my wife, been married for 20 years and she works as an oncology nurse at Hackensack medical center. We have 3 children together. I have twins in Regular Meeting Minutes June 12, 2014
9th grade, 1 boy, 1 girl, and we have a son in 5th grade. We have been living in Pompton Plains for many years, and it is interesting to note that, when we fi rst were married, my wife and I lived in Wayne for years, so I am very fa miliar with the community. We lived over in Tudor Gardens, and we have a lot in common. What I currently do is I serve as Superintendent of Schools for the City of Hoboken, after 5 years at Sussex County Tech School. I spent the largest part of my career working for the Union Board of Education, which is a wonderful community a little bit west of the GW Bridge. I started in Leonia as a hig h school Vice Principal. Then I served most of my career as a Principal of one of the top performing middle schools in Bergen County and after that I served as a school business administrator. So prior to working in Leonia, I worked for the Haledon Board of Education starting as a Vice Principal and shortly after became Principal. And I started my caree r as an eth grade teacher at Paterson Public Schools. I also served as the track and fo otball coach while I was a teacher. That is a little about the background. While I am thrilled certainly to have this opportunity to work as Superintendent here in Wayne, I must admit that it will certainly be difficult to leave my work in the City that no doubt is a tough place to work, especially when you work as Superintendent of Schools. But Hoboken is a City that I have grown to love and it will be difficult to leave a great team of teachers and administrators. I enjoyed working with them every day. The approach and the collaborative effo rts of our Board members, our teachers, our administrators, our parents who worked together to build this school system, a better school system in Hoboken. I believe that the Hoboken Public Schools are a wonderful example of how a community can redefine what it expects from a school system to affect positive change in children. As a result we have some wonderful improvements academically that go hand in hand with other improvements the school climate, technology, facility improvement and improved curriculum. Our financial situation improved dramatically as well, we developed an excellent program for children with autism that is receiving attention fr om around the State. We have some great student success stories in all of our schools. I understand that some of you may be saying, "well ... that's a nice story about improving the school system like Hoboken, an urban district, city, but how does that have anything to do with a place like Wayne. It is much differentwhen you compare it to Hoboken". In fact, it is reasonable, certainly reasonable to think that Hoboken and Wayne are different, based on the fa ct that Hoboken is labeled as an Abbott school district, which means that it is equated with other districts like, Camden, Paterson and Newark. So there was a time, when Hoboken was properly identified as an Abbott district. But since that time Hoboken has changed, and it has become one ofrthe wealthiest cities on a per capita basis in the United States. It also has some of the most valuable real estate in the State. And so even though Hoboken is Abbott district, under the district factor grouping labels from the Department of Education. Hoboken is a G district, while Wayne is classified as a GH district. So we are a little closer than we might think. Hoboken has undergone a massive urban renewal project. Obviously the fa ct that Hoboken has over 50,000 residents in one square mile means that we are far more croWded. We have playgrounds and built them on the roofs of our school buildings. Thankfully I can't emphasize, you have places to park your cars, near the sChools. So I never really realized how convenient that was, but I am just thinking about it and it makes me smile. I like Wayne. My main point, I guess is that as a school leader, I have had experience to deal with people from all walks of life, in different types of communities and one of my strengths I feel, is that I get along well with just about everyone. I talked a little bit about my first job as Superintendent in Sussex County Tech School in Sparta. When I started local politicians were actively discussing closing the school because we had a tiny enrollment, and all sorts of financial problems. Lack of interest, all sorts of discipline issues. Today the school is involved in just about everything. It has changed. The enrollment in the school is abo)Jt eoo Regular Meeting Minutes June 12,2014 Page 9 of 168
students. We have 2 or 3 applicants for every seat that we have available in the freshman class, and it is a healthy school that enjoys great community support and continues to grow. It is ranked in NJ Monthly as one of the top technical schools and it is also identified as one of the most improved schools in NJ based on HESPA scores. So I am proud to have worked with an excellent group of students, staff members and a tr uly great story about a school transformation. So enough about my past, let's talk a little about our future. The Board here in Wayne has, at differenttimes during the interview process, emphasized the importance of a te am approach as vital for the success for the next Superintendent. As a result, I fe el very comfortable with the opportunity to work here because our beliefs are aligned. Wayne is a wonderful community. There is no doubt about it. There is a long standing tradition of excellent public schools and I am proud to be a partof that excellent tradition. The Public schools have been drawing residents to Wayne and young fa milies for many generations. Partof the reason why you have had excellent public schools is that over the years, you have held high expectations for your schools and for your children. And because of your expectations, you get results. This formula works well fo r students here and in any . community. Looking ahead for the next few months, I know I will be a very busy person. As I said, I am anxious to learn from the community, and that requires me to set aside time to meet. So I am putting together a schedule of opportunities to meet with residents in the coming weeks. Essentially, I will be working in two school districts this summer, so I am available to join you full ti me in mid August. The other thing is that I will be here after the Board meeting, so I will be more than happy to meet residents, parents, students. As far as priorities for the coming year, I know that one priority in every school district, must be continued work needed to transition to the common core state standards, and new evaluation systems fo r the teachers, principals and PARCC assessment which will be replacing NJASK. This year is the year of unprecidented change in public schools, and as a result, it is important to continue the support. To support the change process that has started and it is important that we do well under this new system. The change process includes professional development for the staff and should be undertaken with the understanding th at for any school district to be successful, the focus of our work cannot be standardized te sting. But it must be children and their new needs. Likewise for our future success, we must recognize th at the common core, is a collection of standards and expectations that like other standards will come and go. My point is that these new standards fo r students, of what they are expected to know and do, along with the instruments used to assess those standards, should not take the joy out of teaching and learning in any of our classrooms. While connection to testing is reflected in the teacher evaluation there is not much that can be done about that, the key to long term success under this new model is that teachers and students who enjoy coming to school, enjoy learning, it is hard to imagine any teacher or students who would be highly motivated at the thought of taking another standardized test. Another priority which will drive the upcoming school year is the development of goals. Goals are developed collaboratively. Written goals are an excellent way of developing a direction for the upcoming year; clarifying roles and expectations, and I look forward to developing goals that the community will be proud of during the upcoming months. Partnerships. They are a wonderful way to offer additional learning opportunities for students. As a school leader at Sussex County Tech, and also a local high school, I am happy to have had the chance to develop for students to earn significant college credit while still in high school. So with dual credit agreements that we have, like places like UMDMJ and community college, many of our students at the technical school graduated high school, as college sophomores having earned NJ college credits while still in high school. So I am hoping to develop some partnerships and some opportunities fo r students with Universities, community colleges, th at allow students Regular Meeting Minutes June 12, 2014 Page 10 of 168 additional opportunities fo r advanced learning. In every school district, communication is an important part of our work as administrators, teachers. Communication is key in everything we do, and Wayne is a large school system. As a result, there is much information that needs to be managed here. So I would like to let the community know that I have, what I describe as a common sense open door policy. Not an unlimited open door policy, common sense. There are certain times when issues in the district require my undivided attention, and so I cannot go anywhere else; so I will meet with residents when I can. In otherwords, as much as possible, I will meet with residents to discuss issues in the district. I very much appreciate the support of the Board, I appreciate the opportunity to work in Wayne as Superintendent of Schools, and I look fo rward to what is a great tradition of excellent public education.

Judy Rostello - Addressed the Board on Common Core. Reminder this Monday at Barnyard meeting regarding Common Core .. Regular Meeting Minutes June 12, 2014 Page 43 of 168
Michael Ludwig - Regarding Kindergarten. No curriculum, no technology.... only sees worksheets. Has Special Education student for PSH program ... not scheduled for any supports in Kindergarten and Pre-K program is only half day. Need to offer full day Kindergarten immediately for the 2014-2015 School year.
Mark Klypka - Truly think good education is important. Concerned about changes that cost money to taxpayers but provide no benefit to students. - Dental Plan.... same as WEA plan even if doctors are all not the same. - Change in AD structure. - Change in Administration structure cost us. None of these proved to improve education. Did we do an analysis of Clifton facilities budget? Public asks questions, Board tell us we are wrong. Petition - Asked Mr. Ceberio to sign his petition opposing commone core. Welcomed Dr. Toback.
John Samonson - Just attended George Washington Honors Ceremony. Graduated 2 students from Wayne Schools. Why are we taking away finals. Colleges are competitive and look for grade achievements. Need to give our kids the opportunity to increase their grade point average. Maybe make it optional.
Cindy Jaffe - Wants to bring to light to flaws in process when Administration wa nts to implement change..... Performance Reports in elementary schools th. ree flaws in process: a) Secrecy that takes place when committee formed. b) Bias of member selection; and c) "Stifling" atmosphere during meetings.
Denise Lynch - Thanked Board for resolution on Common Core. Problems at elementary levels regarding performance report. Frances Calli - regarding performance report.
Allison D - I didn't come here prepared with anything to say. I am going to speak offth e cuff. just had some ideas and it actually saved me an email, just an end of year wrap up. First I wa nted to say I am very grateful for the newsletters that have come out. It has been very informative to learn about what is happening at the high school and middle school. I am really looking forward to the elementary one tomorrow. That was really helpful and I appreciate that. Dr. Toback, just in thinking of the year ahead and these ladies have been so generous with their time this year speaking to me and some of the other moms, trying to advocate for the curriculum, and Mr. Rogalin as well, if we could continue to make developing and defining and streamlining our literacy curriculum a priority. I wo uld find great comfortin that. If we were able to continue to provide teachers with some training regarding the Teachers College Reading, Writing Workshop model so that they can strengthen their instruction and really be the best delivers of that model, which really is the greatest model in my opinion. If we could budget to grow the classroom libraries so that the students have access to both differntgenras and reading levels. If parents can be provided with reading levels throughout the years so that we know what the current reading level is of our children so that we can properly support them at home. If teachers can on a regular basis just relay just what is going on in the classroom. We know what topics are being studied, what unit of study is taking place in the literacy curriculum and we can support our kids at home. I think just in general if we could continue to bring parents up to speed, especially in terms of the literacy curriculum. That clearly seems to be a common thread in what I am saying, but it is a priority to me. I feel Regular Meeting Minutes June 12, 2014 Page 44 of 168
like we have made a great deal of headway this year, and Mrs. Pandolfi and Mr. Rogalin have been very generous in entertaining our concerns and if we can move forward into next year focusing on our literacy and curriculum program. And finally if there were an opportunity for a curriculum committee to be fo rmed. Perhaps there is one, I don't believe that I know of it. If parents were giving the opportunity to serve on that committee so that we can partner with administration, teachers, and really defining and stream lining our curriculum.
Chris Smith - addressed issue again with movies presented on early dismissal days.

Catherine Kazan - First I want to address the elementary grading. I feel the frustration from the parents and I just want to say that this can't possibly as you pointed out be best practices fo r our district. The fact that it has taken the entire year, that the grading was never piloted and put thru a rigorous process to make sure that all the bugs and kinks have been worked out. I think that this illustrates that, that is probably a method that we should consider going fo rward fo r anything of this nature. The suggestion that I have, it seems like one of the problems is we don't really have the time to address these things in the Education committee. Maybe we should do 2 a month, or maybe break it up, with one committee meeting a month being heard - Secondary and one fo r elementary. The comment about full day kindergarten. Well, that is something that I have been trying to address throughout the school year. We are doing a study, but I did ask fo r a legal opinion on it. An idea regarding possibly trying to pilot a program where we have an extended day version fo r the space that we can accommodate, maybe through a lottery system. We are still waiting for any answer to that. Absolutely I would like to welcome Dr. Toback. The process was great. I enjoyed working with my colleagues on the hiring. This is a job well done, and I think you are going to be very happy with our choice. Congratulations to the PTO Presidents, and the Scouts. I did attend legislative day in Trenton, and we also were there, many of us from NJ School Boards Assoc. Members throughout the State along with the PTA Association. We decided to partner with them because like Mr. Mordkoff said, there is strength in numbers. To let the legislators know that we are going to start some serious advocacy works in New Jersey. We were visited by many of our legislators, elected officials. The guest speaker was Russ Holt, who unfortunately we are losing in the Federal Educational Committee. But he was a dynamic Regular Meeting Minutes June 12, 2014 Page 45 of 168 speaker and promised he would stay involved in education issues, but having someone from NJ on that committee was pretty important, and unfortunate that he is no longer going to be there. I just wanted to end on a positive. I attended several events, as did Mr. Gonzalez as he spoke, and the most important would be the fact that we gave out so much money in scholarships this year. We live in such a generous community, and I just want to thank all of the PTO parents that raised that money, as well as the members of the community that come back year after year with those checks. Business, former alumni, it is just fantastic. But the one that was most impressive was Caring Students Award at GW middle School. Those kids made us laugh made us cry. To give award for character, I can't think of anything better and it was just fantastic. Congratulations to all the graduates. Good Luck, thank you.

This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions Regular Meeting Minutes June 12, 2014 Page 152 of 168 Ms. Juanita A. Petty and April 10, 2014 Members of the Board of Education 5 taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other engagements or studies. You are also responsible for providing management's views on our current findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as your planned corrective actions, for the report, and for the timing and format for providing that information. Audit Procedu�eneral An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made bymanagement, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (I) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the entity or to acts by management or employees acting on behalfof the entity. Because the determination of abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting abuse. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements or noncompliance may exist and not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements or major programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors and any fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential, and of any material abuse that comes to our attention. We will include such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods fo r which we are not engaged as auditors. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, fu nding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We will request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our audit, we will also require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters. Audit Procedures-Intemal Controls Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment, including internal control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent of fu rther audit procedures. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on Regular Meeting Minutes June 12, 2014 Page 153 of 168 Ms. Juanita A. Petty and April 10, 2014 Members ofthe Board of Education 6 internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. As required by OMB Circular A-I33 and New Jersey OMB 04-04, we will perform tesls of controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each major fe deral and state award program. However, our tests will be less in scope than would benecessary to render an opinion on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to OMB Circular A-133 and New Jersey OMB 04-04. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related mailers that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, OMB Circular A-I33 and New Jersey OMB 04- 04. Audit Procedu�ompliance As part ofobtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the District's compliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards . OMB Circular A-I33 and New Jersey OMB 04-04 require that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Circular A-H3 Compliance Supplement and New Jersey OMB04-04 Compliance Supplement for the types ofcompliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of District's major programs. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on District's compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to OMB Circular A- 133 and New Jersey OMB 04-04. Non-Attest Services We will assist the District in the preparation of the financial statements, schedules of expenditures of fe deral awards and state financial assistance and related notes as a non-allest service asdiscussed above. Management acknowledges that with respect to these services that management is responsible fo r: • Making all management decisions and performing management functions; • Designating an individual who possesses suitable skill, knowledge, and/or experience, preferably within senior management, to oversee the services; (We understand that Ms. Juanita A. Petty will assume this role) • Evaluating the adequacy and resultsof the services performed; • Reviewing or preparing the Government GAAP disclosure checklist and taking responsibility for it; • Taking responsibility for all journalentries, including Wiss & Company proposed adjustments; • Accepting responsibility for the results of the services; and • Establishing and maintaining internal controls, including monitoring activities.

Our firmhas served in this role for the district since March 1, 2004. Assuming no change in insurance carriers is necessary, Brown & Brown Benefit Advisors' fee schedule for the upcoming policy year will again remain unchanged from our 2008 agreement with the Board as follows: Horizon Medical: Our fee is a flat $139,000 flat dollar amount paid directly to our firm by Horizon BCBSNJ.
