understand the important role they play in children’s development and learning. 4. COMMUNITY: We create opportunities to engage citizens and organizations on decisions that impact schools and the community.
POINTS OF PRIDE
Everyday Matters Rainbow Drive: The District has launched the promotion of the Everyday Matters Attendance Campaign. On Saturday, February 23, the District sponsored a Rainbow Drive for Trenton students and families at PJ Hill Elementary. The goal was to provide families with resources to remove barriers that prevent students from attending school every day. Community partners offered onsite services that address direct linkages to chronic absenteeism. Over (20) organizations signed up to participate. Multiple families registered online, and Rainbow Kits were distributed at the event. Generous organizations donated over $15,000 in funds to support the event and TCNJ provided (20) volunteers to assist with event coordination for the day. Special thanks to Denise Holguin, District Parent Coordinator/ Homeless Liaison for coordinating this amazing effort to support Trenton families.
Trenton Schools Make Real Progress: This month the District received official notification from the NJ Department of Education that (2) more Trenton schools have made enough progress to be eligible to exit state monitoring status. Thanks to their continued growth, academic performance, sustainability of noted improvements and feedback from the Comprehensive Support & Improvement Teams. Congratulations to the school communities of Robbins and Wilson for making real progress. They join the (6) schools who exited status last year: Franklin, Grant, Columbus, Washington, Hedgepeth Williams, and Trenton Central.
PJ Hill is Moving Forward: This month the District also received official notification from the NJ Department of Education that PJ Hill will undergo a change in state monitoring status moving from Comprehensive Support to Targeted Support. Thanks to their continued growth in literacy and mathematics. Congratulations to the PJ Hill School Community for making progress.
TCHS Student Athlete Breaks American Record: Congratulations to TCHS Junior Athing Mu for breaking the American Record to win the 600m at the 2019 USATF Indoor Championship. She had personal best by 2.66 seconds, now holds the US high school and American Indoor record. Athing defeated the 5-time NCAA 800m champion and holds the 2nd fastest indoor time ever. Athing has a 3.7 GPA and excels in the classroom and on the track. Congratulations!
Student Athletes Recognized: The TCHS Boys Basketball Team has received the #1 seed for Central Jersey Group 4 State Tournament beginning on February 25th. The Boys Basketball Team also received the #1 seed for the Mercer County Tournament. Johnae Drumright took 2nd place at the first ever NJSIAA Women’s Regional Wrestling Tournament.
3 TRENTON BOARD OF EDUCATION 108 North Clinton Avenue Trenton, New Jersey 08609 BOARD MEETING MINUTES Monday – February 25, 2019 – 5:30 P.M.
Reading Oasis Rooms: Special thanks to the Trenton Thunder and the United Way of Greater Mercer County for their tremendous support in establishing Reading Oasis Rooms at Mott Elementary (February 5th) and Parker Elementary (February 8th). Their support will provide opportunities for students to access a robust library of new reading materials.
QSAC Update: Educational Specialists from the NJ Department of Education visited the District this past month to review progress on the new Quality Single Accountability Continuum requirements (QSAC). QSAC is the Department’s monitoring and evaluation system for public school districts. The continuum shifts the focus from monitoring, evaluation, and compliance to assistance, capacity-building, and improvement. We received a favorable response with the formal report coming shortly. State level data reviewed also indicates that the District is showing academic improvements. Literacy proficiency is up two percentage points (20.3%) and Math proficiency is up seven percentage points (10.8%). Student growth is also showing improvement. Special thanks to the School Support, Curriculum, and Performance Offices for their leadership in this critical area.
Nutritional Services Update: Thanks to the intentional efforts of our District Leaders to increase access to high quality nutrition for all students, the District now serves over 15,000 meals per day. Breakfast after the Bell Program serves 6100 meals daily and Universal Lunch Program serves 9400 meals daily. This is a critical factor when considering the academic calendar and school closures due to inclement weather.
Expansion of Health Services: The District is partnering with the Oral Health Impact Project to participate in Dental Day with the Campaign Ambassador being the NBA’s Charles Cooke. Students are able to receive free dental exams and light dental work. Special thanks to Micah Freeman, Sharron Grady, and Denise Holguin for their collaboration and leadership. The goal is to assist with noncompliance of Immunizations/Physicals and to assist with access to Health Insurance. Other dates for Oral /Visual Health Mobile Units:
Washington Elementary February 25th 10:00am – 2:00pm Daylight High School March 11th 8:30am – 1:30pm Jefferson Elementary April 8th 10:00am – 2:00pm
The District is continuing its partnership with Henry J. Austin Health Center to provide access to students and families utilizing their Mobile Immunization Van. The dates for the Immunization Mobile Units:
Dunn Middle March 6th 10:00am – 2:00pm PJ Hill Elementary March 13th 10:00am – 2:00pm

CENTRAL OFFICE TRANSFORMATION
District Transformation: In order for school districts to transform, Central Offices must significantly strengthen the extent to which the office operates as a primary support system for helping principals improve teaching and learning at scale. According to research by the Wallace Foundation and conducted by the University of Washington, this requires Central Offices to:
1. Create learning-focused partnerships between Central Office and Schools 2. Redesign the Central Office so that it functions as a high performing customer service organization providing high-quality, relevant, and differentiated instructional, human resources, business, and other services that support learning-focused partnerships 3. Lead by teaching and learning – engage Central Office staff in continuously finding, designing, and implementing more effective services for district-wide teaching and learning improvement
Transforming Central Office is a major undertaking, requiring more than just making changes to the organizational chart, adding or eliminating positions, or improving long-standing operations. It requires the organization to take a deep look at the current work of all positions and determine to what extent can we show that this work is aligned to improving teaching and learning districtwide. And if not, what do we do about it to improve outcomes for students?
The following departments will be undergoing an intensive review based on the external evaluations conducted, data collected, as well as the emergent needs: School Support, Student Services, Curriculum & Instruction, Special Education, Bilingual/ESL Services, Performance & Accountability, and Human Resources.
PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS
Honors Courses Update: During the Secondary Schools Data Review Meeting this month, the District shared the expectation that data must be used to inform future Programs of Study. The original question posed was whether we needed (3) levels of courses or not. Leaders discussed the need to have standard and advanced options for each grade level. Leaders also expressed that schools must have a plan to support students at the first point of struggle, so they do not fall behind. Please be advised that the District is not eliminating honors classes.
Honors classes are designed to be more rigorous and require students to be at or above grade level. Students receive additional weights to their GPA as a result. Per the District Course Catalog, grades for honors courses receive a weight of 1.1 for the purpose of grade point average (GPA) calculation. A variety of honors courses will be available in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and World Languages. Their course descriptions will indicate the differences between the standard and honors class. Students who are on grade level and demonstrate proficiency in previous courses are eligible to be enrolled in honors courses.
As a District, we will work collaboratively to revise last year’s Course Catalog so that it aligns to our District Mission and College and Career Expectations for 2019 and beyond. The Curriculum Office will have an updated 2019-2020 Course Catalog shortly. Our goal is to ensure that all students are properly scheduled in the right classes for September prior to June 30th. In the immediate, the Curriculum and School Support Offices will be reviewing the following items regarding AP/Honors:
# of students participating in AP classes, performance (grades/attendance) # of students participating in Honors classes, performance (grades/attendance) Selection criteria/ written process for how students are placed in Honors, AP, and Dual Enrollment

PARCC Assessment Data below indicates that as a District, we are slowly improving proficiency levels in Literacy and Math, but still have a long road ahead.
STAR Diagnostic Reading Assessment Data below indicates that the average Trenton 9th grader is on a 5th grade reading level. Based on this annual rate of growth, additional supports and interventions are needed to ensure that all students are able to demonstrate college readiness before graduating from high school.

March Community Meetings To Be Scheduled: There are several major District initiatives that require community engagement meetings prior to making an official recommendation to the Trenton Board of Education. The Offices of School Support and Family and Community Engagement will be organizing a series of community forums to present key challenges and proposed solutions to families. During this time community members will be asked to provide input and give feedback. Topics include:
Welcome to the New Trenton Central High (West Campus) Welcome to the 9th Grade Academy (Perry St Campus) Trenton Re-engagement/Daylight Alternative Services (Ellis Auditorium) TRC: Supporting the Behavioral Needs of Trenton Students (Cadwalader Campus) Supporting Increased Student Enrollment in Trenton (Multiple Sites) Supporting High School English Language Learners in Trenton (West Campus) 7 TRENTON BOARD OF EDUCATION 108 North Clinton Avenue Trenton, New Jersey 08609 BOARD MEETING MINUTES Monday – February 25, 2019 – 5:30 P.M.
Elementary STEM Update: Eureka Math Curriculum Adoption with embedded Instructional Coaching is taking place across all elementary schools. The District is moving in the right direction, but we still have a lot of work to do.
Grade 2 math proficiency increased by 23% from the Pre to Mid-Yr Assessment Grade 3 math proficiency increased by almost 5% from the Pre to Mid-Yr Assessment Grade 4 math proficiency increased by over 20% from the Pre to Mid-Yr Assessment Grade 5 math proficiency increased by 10% from the Pre to Mid-Yr Assessment
Reading Intervention Program Update: The chart below reflects the number of students who began this year working Below, In, and Above Grade Level Material (GLM). Special recognition to Harrison, Mott, and Washington Elementary Schools for moving 30% or more of their students into “In” or “Above” Grade Level Materials. We anticipate accelerated growth this year due to the consistent implementation of the Reader’s Writers Workshop Model of Instruction with includes the Lexia Core 5 reading intervention program. Special thanks to all of the teachers that are using Lexia to organize students for small group centers, intervention, and academic enrichment. Details will be ongoing.
Addressing the Enrollment Challenge: As a District, we are seeing substantial boosts in enrollment. Given the fact that we have several buildings out of circulation, multiple classrooms throughout the District are oversubscribed. For the 2018-19 school year, the Trenton Public School district will be seeking to readjust in order to meet class size requirements outlined in N.J.A.C. 6A:13-3.1(b). The district’s average daily enrollment INCREASED from 11,328 in 2017 to 12,211 in 2018. This is due in part to several school closures and two of the private schools for the disabled. Additionally, we have seen a SIGNIFICANT increase in the number of students enrolling who have never attended school in the United States. Class Size Analysis from our District Performance & Accountability Office indicates that General Education classrooms in Kindergarten, 1st, and 5th grade classrooms average at or above the class size maximum. Additional analysis indicates that all Bilingual Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade classrooms average at or above the class size maximum. It is also important to note that almost all Bilingual 7th and most of 6th and 8th grade classrooms are at or above the class size maximum as well. The development of Middle School Port of Entry Programs should provide relief to this challenge in the future.
Facilities Repairs: The District had to take (1) facility out of circulation for repairs (Monument Campus). In anticipation, we opened (2) facilities: Harrison Elementary and the 9th Grade Academy.
8 TRENTON BOARD OF EDUCATION 108 North Clinton Avenue Trenton, New Jersey 08609 BOARD MEETING MINUTES Monday – February 25, 2019 – 5:30 P.M.
Next Steps: The enrollment challenge before us REQUIRES the District to expand school options for families. We believe that a range of options will assist in supporting Trenton families. It is our intent to host a series of community meetings to present our ideas and proposed solutions for stakeholder input before a formal recommendation is presented to the Board of Education for consideration. Financial Review from the Business Office will also take place in the interim.
Bilingual Program Update: Last year, the District brought in an expert to conduct an analysis of Bilingual Programs in Trenton. Based on the external evaluation, (3) areas of focus have emerged:
1. Bilingual Program Vision and Model Articulation a. How do we effectively support almost 2700 Bilingual and ESL students? b. How do we develop exemplary models of English Language Acquisition? c. How do we support students that have significant gaps in formal education? 2. Professional Development & Growth Plan a. How do we ensure that student programming is based on sound educational research? b. How do we ensure that adequate commitment and resources are allocated? c. How do we develop systems of support that can be observed and evaluated? 3. Community Engagement & Strategic Partnership Plan a. How do we communicate an aligned vision and engage the community in the change process?
The Bilingual Department is working to identify solutions for the growing number of newcomers to Trenton through the development of High School Port of Entry Programs. The District strives to get better everyday and therefore the learning environment for newcomers needs to account for the challenges associated with transitioning to a new culture and language, but also including: academics, social-emotional support/trauma, and workforce development/training. Our students should not have to choose between financially supporting their families and continuing their education.
Preschool Update: The Office of Early Childhood has begun meeting with all contracted preschool sites regarding 2019-2020 registration and enrollment. The Office of Early Childhood expects to re-enroll and enroll over 2,000 preschool students 2019-2020. The 2019-2020 open enrollment period for new enrolling preschool students begins in March 2018. The Office of Early Childhood will kick off open enrollment March 2018 with the Pre-K Fair. The Pre-K Fair event is open to parents, guardians, and caregivers and aims to highlight the components of the preschool program and allows families an opportunity to make appointments for registration for the upcoming 2019-2020 year. Special thanks to Director Monica Carmichael and the Early Childhood Office for leading this important work.
Behavioral Support Program Update: The District has been working with the Mercer County Executive Superintendent and Director for Special Education to address challenges associated with students with behavioral needs. We’ve also requested their support in the development of a Trenton Restorative Center (TRC) Program at Cadwalader Campus in preparation for the 2019-2020 school year. The TRC will be an alternative behavioral support program that serves General Education and Special Education students Grades K-8. The TRC is not a permanent placement for students as there will be an entrance and exit criteria. Students on long-term suspension and interim placement will also receive services at the TRC, which will reduce lost instructional time for students whose only current option is Home Instruction. Special thanks to Director Charles Koonce for leading this very important work to ensure that the District significantly decreases the number of students being sent to out of district placement.
Trenton Central High School Programming: The new Trenton Central High School will be a 350,000 square-foot school designed to educate 1,850 students in grades 10 through 12. The New Trenton Central HS is being delivered through a Design-Build approach through the New Jersey School Development Authority. The 9 TRENTON BOARD OF EDUCATION 108 North Clinton Avenue Trenton, New Jersey 08609 BOARD MEETING MINUTES Monday – February 25, 2019 – 5:30 P.M. anticipated opening of the high school is September 2019. Historically, Trenton Central has operated Small Learning Communities (SLC) offering Career & Technical Education (CTE) programming. The Trenton Board of Education approved the school as a Career Academy. To support this exciting new evolution to become a Model Career Academy High School, the District has hired a CTE Consultant to work with Trenton Central Staff and District Leadership to identify areas of improvement. The ultimate goal for every student graduating from the new Trenton Central High School would be that every student will graduate on time;
Meeting all graduation requirements as established by the New Jersey Department of Education and the Career Academy National Standards of Practice (NSOP) Successfully completing a Structured Learning Experience (SLE) during their high school career. Successfully completing at least (1) Online Course. Earning a minimum of (3) Transferable College Credits while in high school. Attaining a minimum of (1) Industry Recognized Credential/Certification. Completing a Capstone Project which is a Project Based Learning Experience aligned with his/her academy. Entering a 4-year college or university, a 2-year community college or technical college, a certificate granting career training program, the United States military, or employment that provides continued training and advancement.

Faculty and Staff Community Involvement 5. Professional Development and Continuous 9. Student Assessment Learning 10. Sustainability
Career Academy Support: Special thanks to the Board of Education for approving the resolution to retain the services of a CTE Consultant to support TCHS in the development of Programs of Study. The CTE Consultant will provide direct support to the Curriculum Office and TCHS Leadership in the development of rigorous CTE Programs of Study with corresponding courses to be added to the new Course Catalog (Grades 10-12). We will also be seeking the CTE Consultant’s support in the recruitment of specialized CTE staff. Additional positive news to share is the fact that Educational Testing Service (ETS) has agreed to provide targeted, no-cost support to the District through their Institute for Student Achievement (ISA). ISA is the only evidence-based whole school reform organization in the US Department of Education What Works Clearinghouse with a track record of supporting high schools. ISA has also adopted a CTE Program Support model that will be helpful as TCHS transforms from a traditional comprehensive high school to a model career academy. Our upcoming community forums will provide opportunities share additional information and seek community input into the additional supports needed.
Budget Planning for Success/Charting Our Path Together: The award winning Business Office is kicking off the budget planning and preparation for the 2019-20 school year. Successful budgets will be aligned to the Mission Statement, District Priorities and Core Values, and New Jersey Department of Education Budget Processes. Each Department received a Budget Manual which included their current Position Control Roster, Three-Year Detailed Budget Reports for 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 school year, the 2019-20 budget calendar with due dates, budget responsibilities for each leadership team member, and work papers to assist in the preparation of their 2019-20 budget.
The budget process is broken into a six-step process that includes: Planning, Preparation, Adoption, Implementation, Monitoring, and Evaluation. The process is driven by two objectives: to provide every child in 10 TRENTON BOARD OF EDUCATION 108 North Clinton Avenue Trenton, New Jersey 08609 BOARD MEETING MINUTES Monday – February 25, 2019 – 5:30 P.M. the District with the best possible educational opportunities and to maximize the use of available resources. Within this framework, the Board attempts to balance the educational needs of students and the resources available to the District from local, state, and federal sources. A school district’s budget that details the revenues and expenditures to support educational programs and services, is a delicate balance of policy choices.
Fiscal responsibility ultimately rests with the District Leadership Team, however, the majority of school-based decisions are determined by the School Leadership Team. That means that discretion over resource allocations is also a balancing act between Schools and the District. But regardless of how decisions are made, a district’s top officials – its board and superintendent – remain accountable for how well the district balances all of the competing priorities and meets its legal obligations for financial responsibility.
Special Education Update: The original members of the Superintendent Special Education Advisory Committee worked directly with the Special Education Department to unpack the PCG Special Education Review. The Special Education Review recommended (5) Priority Areas:
1. Support for Struggling Learners: The District will develop a robust, multi-tiered system of support structure (MTSS) for all students and implement interventions with fidelity. 2. Accountability: The District will develop policies and procedures and create mechanisms for monitoring their implementation. 3. High Quality IEPs: The District will adopt protocols and conduct training for all staff, with the most intensive trainings for Child Study Teams, Special Education Case Managers, on the development of high quality IEPs. 4. Data Quality, Access, and Training: The District will develop protocols to ensure data in all systems are accurate and aligned. Data will be up to date, easy to access, easy to understand, and routinely monitored. 5. Professional Development & Support: Special Education personnel will receive training and support essential to strengthen their expertise in procedural compliance and on instructional strategies that help accelerate their students’ academic and social/emotional growth.
The Special Education was tasked with identifying immediate steps to begin addressing some of the issues while planning for the long-term. Based on feedback from the Advisory Committee and the Superintendent, the Department drafted a Special Education 90-Day Strategic Action Plan that was closely monitored through January 1.
90-Day Strategic Action Plan Status Update: Despite the tremendous caseload of the Child Study Teams, the District is maintaining its 84% compliance rate. Additional investments are needed to support the department. (ONGOING) Preschool Disabled (PSD) has confirmed transportation routes for all sites (COMPLETED) A new Social Worker for the BD Program has been hired (NEW) A new Supervisor for Elementary Special Education has been hired (NEW) A new Director of Specialized Services has been hired (NEW) Easy IEP Training for Child Study Teams (COMPLETED) Easy IEP Training for School Administrators (COMPLETED) Easy IEP Training for Teachers (COMPLETED)
Next Steps: The Superintendent Special Education Advisory Committee will be reorganized to include new Trenton Public Schools Special Education Leadership, Child Study Team Members, Mercer County Family Support Organization (FSO), and Special Parent Advocacy Network (SPAN). Educational Testing Service (ETS) has agreed to provide technical assistance and meeting facilitation in the development of a long-term plan to rapidly improve Special Education in Trenton. The Special Education Quality Management/Strategic Planning Process includes but is not limited to: 11 TRENTON BOARD OF EDUCATION 108 North Clinton Avenue Trenton, New Jersey 08609 BOARD MEETING MINUTES Monday – February 25, 2019 – 5:30 P.M.
Inquiry: Facilitated process to ask “Why?” or “How did we get here?” Root Cause Analysis: Identification of Root Cause, Emerging Themes Action Plan: Development of an Action Plan with specific actions, person(s) responsible, and metrics of success
Instructional Leadership Update: School Chiefs are working with Board-approved consulting firm to deliver rigorous professional development topics for School Leadership Teams, Choices for Book Study, and School- Specific Support(s). Valbrun will help the District increase the instructional leadership capacity of schools through targeted professional development that supports our District Priorities, job-embedded coaching as driven by School Chiefs, and feedback loops to ensure schools are growing together in a constructive way with an emphasis on student growth.
Parent Engagement Priorities: Trenton Public Schools believes that ALL students must graduate with a vision for their future, motivated to learn and prepared to succeed in their choice of college or career. The successful implementation of a District parent engagement strategy demonstrates our commitment to families as they play an important role in students’ development and overall learning. Parent engagement in schools is defined as parents and school staff working together to support and improve the learning, development, and health of children. Parent engagement in schools is a shared responsibility in which schools are committed to reaching out to engage parents in meaningful ways, and parents are committed to actively supporting their children’s educational journey. Parent Engagement Priorities for 2018-2019 include:
1. Establishing Parent University in the City of Trenton 2. Launching a Community-based Campaign to Address Chronic Absenteeism 3. Establishing Parent Teacher Organizations in Every School 4. Organizing a Spring Parent Summit 5. Supporting Parent Advisory Groups

Motion was made and properly seconded to adjourn the meeting into Executive Session. The motion failed on a voice vote, and the agenda moved to Public Participation. Mr. Truehart advised that students will be moved to the front of the speaking order.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION The following students and alumni spoke about the importance of having honors classes available to the students:
Andrew Holt, TCHS Alumnus Class of 2015 Darrel Rodriguez, Student Casey Fortson, TCHS Sophomore, Upward Bound/MCCC Anida Masuod, TCHS Alumna Class of 2008 Diana Montilla (sp?), TCHS Alumna Class of 2015 Charlene Richards, Student, Trenton Student Voice Power Movement Ayouba Swaray, Student, Trenton Student Voice Power Movement Athing Mu, Student & Record-Holding Runner Montaniz Stills, TCHS Alumnus Class of 2013
At this time, the Superintendent addressed the students regarding their concerns. He stated that there has been much misinformation circulating the past few weeks, and the District is not abandoning or eliminating honors or AP classes. Dr. McDowell advised that the District is investing in new curriculum to enable teachers to teach more advanced classes for those who need them; and he said that the new TCHS will be divided into five career academies and that Administration believes there should be advanced options in each of the academies. He said students should not have to choose between career or CTE classes and honors/AP. He also said that a meeting is planned with students for the exchange of ideas, and this is being arranged by Mr. Goodman.
Mr. Paul Bethea, Community and TCHS Alumnus, thanked all the teachers. He encouraged the Board to settle the teachers’ contract, stating that teachers go out of their way to ensure that the students learn.
The following TCHS Teachers spoke about the benefits to students of the AP and honors classes:
Ms. Deidre Brown Ms. Nicole Hamlet
Ms. Hope Grant, TCHS Principal and President of the Trenton Administrators and Supervisors Association (TASA), provided the Board with a packet of information documenting communications which occurred between the Superintendent, Board and Administration regarding honors classes.

Principal Bernadette Trapp also spoke on behalf of TASA regarding email communications between the Superintendent and Board Members about honors classes.
Mr. David Lerner, Band Teacher at Kilmer Middle School, expressed concern about the proposed consolidation of schools.

He expressed concern about a lack of middle school students to feed into the high school marching band. Mr. Lerner also discussed the terms of the agreement with the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, saying that the District would not be fulfilling its responsibility as the grantee. He asked that the music program be left intact, saying it opens opportunities for students to go to college and pursue future careers.
Ms. Naomi Johnson-Lafleur, Trenton Education Association (TEA), spoke about ethics for Board Members; and she expressed concern about the Board Attorney’s advice to the Board.
Ms. Janice Williams, TEA Grievance Chair, felt there is a lack of communication from the Superintendent to the leadership team and that chaos is the result. She also expressed concern about the school budget process. Lastly, Ms. Williams expressed concern about the State Monitor, and about the BD program.
TEA President Ms. Twanda Taylor stated that the backgrounds of anyone providing services in the District must be checked before a lawsuit occurs. She spoke about deception and said that a change in leadership must be made.

Adams Gutierrez & Lattiboudere, 2019 Copyright SEC Decisions Interpreting N.J.S.A. 18A:12-24 .1(e) Board Members Conducting Investigations In the Matter of Randie Zimmerman
• Rocky Hill Township Board of Education President Randie Zimmerman investigated a complaint by a member of the public (her neighbor) regarding a possible fire code violation by one of the district’s schools, and drafted a strongly worded response letter, which essentially adopted the public member’s written complaint by condemning the “obvious fire code violation.” The letter copied the superintendent and appeared to have the endorsement of the Board.
• The Commission stated that even if one were to discredit the “assertion that Ms. Zimmerman represented…she was acting on behalf of her Board, there is sufficient evidence to sustain a finding that Ms. Zimmerman took private action that may compromise the Board…Ms. Zimmerman’s writing of such a strongly worded letter and copying the county superintendent could have resulted in the revocation of the use of the room by the county superintendent.”
• The Commission concluded that even though Zimmerman was trying to do the right thing in making inquiries on behalf of a constituent, that “by signing the negative letter of the parents as if it were her own and adding her title of Board President, she went too far and violated the Code of Ethics.” The investigatory matter should have been handled by the appropriate personnel.
• The Commission recommended that the Commissioner of Education impose a penalty of reprimand for the violation of N.J.S.A. 18A:12-24.1(e). • -I/M/O Zimmerman, Docket Nos. C49–02 (Sch. Ethics Comm'n July 22, 2003)

Board Members Involving Themselves In Personnel Matters Persi v. Woska Persi served as the interim superintendent at Brick Township School District. Woska was a Board member who anticipated that he would become Board President. Woska was dissatisfied with Persi’s performance and wanted him terminated.
Prior to a reorganization meeting, Woska directed the newly elected School Business Administrator and newly elected Board Secretary to issue Persi a Rice notice, but never notified the current Board President, other Board members or Board counsel before taking this action. Woska also developed a similar tactic in finding a replacement for Persi.
The Commission determined that Woska violated the School Ethics Act by performing a personnel action which belonged to the Board (Rice notice) without the consent of the entire Board and therefore recommended a reprimand. Commissioner upheld SEC decision.
The Superior Court agreed with Commissioner defining Woska’s conduct as a “private action,” as it was an action taken by a board member that was beyond the scope of his authority and duties as a board member. Furthermore, the Court stated that even though the Board ended up voting in favor of Persi’s termination, no ratification by the Board’s vote could negate Woska’s violation of the School Ethics Act. -Persi v Woska, No. A-3767-14T2, 2017 WL 958498, at *1 (N.J.

Lesinski v Smallwood Board member Lesinski alleged that the Board President Smallwood revealed confidential information from an executive session, where the Board discussed the appointment of candidates for the positions of Interim Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent. The two candidates that were discussed for consideration for the positions were the same individuals whose appointment had been previously overturned by the State Monitor. After rejecting the two candidates, the State Monitor clearly established a process for the Board to follow to reopen its search for a new Superintendent. One of the rejected candidates emailed Smallwood to schedule a site visit, and rather than follow the State Monitor’s established process, Smallwood phoned both of the candidates to discuss her plans of hiring them and in planning the site visit with one of the candidates she revealed information that was discussed in the executive session.
• The SEC stated that by telephoning the candidates, Respondent Smallwood made public Board discussions with individuals who could never be privy to the Board’s deliberations without Board approval. In doing so, she took private action to make public, reveal or disclose information that was not public under any laws, regulations or court orders of this State, or information that was otherwise confidential in accordance with board policies, procedures or practices.” The Commission concluded that what Smallwood discussed in her telephone call was greater in detail than simply gauging the candidates’ interest and that she disclosed confidential matters that were discussed in Executive Session in violation of N.J.S.A. 18A:12-24.1(g).
• The Commission finds that sharing the deliberations of a closed meeting with any third party, who would not have been permitted to attend the meeting, is tantamount to a breach of trust and to the promise and expectation of confidentiality. Accordingly, the Commission imposed a penalty of reprimand. • -Lesinski v Smallwood, Docket Nos. C14–14 (Sch. Ethics Comm'n October 29, 2014)

Susan Dunbar v Camden Board of Education
The Board President posted a comment on his Facebook page: “Now if we could only do something about our local terrorists that destroy dreams and burn futures” accompanied by a link to the school district website displaying a photograph of the superintendent.
• The Commission determined that “while the Board member had the right to express disagreement with the board and the administration, the chosen method of doing so was inappropriate and an intentionally confrontational act…[T]he statement might reasonably be considered as undermining, opposing, compromising or harming the superintendent in the proper performance of her duties.”
• In Agreement with the SEC the Commissioner held that “comparing superintendent to a terrorist goes beyond the expression of differences or good faith criticism of performance, and that such a public slur by a board member was likely to undermine the superintendent’s effectiveness.”

Adams Gutierrez & Lattiboudere, 2019 Copyright Practical Tips for Board Members (cont’d)

Adams Gutierrez & Lattiboudere, 2019 Copyright Practical Tips for Board Members (cont’d)
- Confine your actions to policymaking, planning and appraisal. - Stay away from the administration, organization or implementation of the policies. - Your job as a board member is to see that schools are well run, not to run the schools.
Adams Gutierrez & Lattiboudere, 2019 Copyright Practical Tips for Board Members (cont’d)…
- Only the full board has the right to make decisions. One board member alone cannot make decisions or take actions. - The board should keep the community informed on the progress and needs of the district, BUT confidential matters need to stay confidential and cannot be discussed with anyone but the board.
