Mrs. O'Flynn read the following statement: On behalf of the Board of Education I would like to share a statement regarding the incidents at George White Middle School over the past week... The Board of Education in partnership with the entire staff are united in condemning all acts of hate, violence and intolerance. Our purpose includes making our schools places that are safe, engaging and welcoming to all of our learners and staff members. We believe that it is the differences among us that help to make the conversations in our classrooms, the relationship we make and grow, and the overall experience in Hillsdale meaningful and positive. We are angered and disappointed by these most recent acts. However, we will not let the acts of one or any small group define the wonderful place for learning and growing that is the Hillsdale Public Schools. Our leadership team, m concert with members of the staff, continue to pursue a variety of options that can offer learning to all our students in effort to continue a culture that includes respect, kindness and value to all individuals we come into contact with now and in the future. Considerations/ Actions 1. Before any event happened at our schools we had learning experiences in all schools via our guidance counselors at the elementary school and social studies teachers at the middle school about acceptance, kindness, anti-Semitism, & racism as appropriate for the age of our learners 2. Communication w/ parents 3. Involvement of the Hillsdale Police Department 4. Conversation with students 5. Increased monitoring of restrooms/locker rooms 6. Communication w/ The Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey a. Open Hearts and Open Minds - Anti Bias & Diversity Training for Educators (Feb. 2019) b. No Place for Hate - Anti Defamation League resource c. Guidelines for Educators about teaching Holocaust studies d.

Southern Poverty Law Center - teaching Tolerance Resource g. Choose Love - Social/Emotional curriculum that aims for individuals to choose love in any circumstance h. Start w/ Hello Program - which teachers inclusion and was borne from Sandy Hook Promise 7. The administrative team and guidance counselors have met to discuss these issues and begin looking into how we can educate, have a positive impact and enhance the entire culture to prevent these acts and influence a culture of kindness. 8.

Board meetings are generally held on the second and fourth Monday of each month, beginning at 7:00 PM for worksessions and regular meetings. Meetings are rotated among the three schools. A schedule of all meetings and locations is listed on our district website. Meeting agendas are also posted on our website, at the three schools, in local newspapers, and at Borough Hall at least 48 hours prior to a meeting. For additional information, contact the Business Administrator or Dear Parents: Superintendent of Schools. Please check the district website www.hillsdaleschools.com for any Board of Education meeting changes. I think that we would all agree that it is not easy being a child today, which makes it even more difficult to be a parent. As a parent myself, I can understand the emotions and concerns you often feel regarding your child. Therefore, I can assure you that our entire staff will be committed to providing all the children of Hillsdale an outstanding educational experience. However, educating our children will be a responsibility that we all need to share in. Please be active and engage your child in conversation about school and maintain ongoing positive communication with your child’s teachers.
