1 10/17/07 PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

Rosa Parks School of Fine & Performing Arts Dance Repertory

Dr. Michael Glascoe: As you may know, October is Arts and Humanities Month. Tonight we are pleased to celebrate properly with the performance by the Dance Repertoire Group from Rosa Parks High School of Fine & Performing Arts. Under the direction of their instructor, Erin Pride, who happens to be a graduate of Rosa Parks herself, this troupe has received many distinguished awards, including the Stars of Tomorrow Dance Competition, the Star Bound National Talent Competition, and the New York Dance Experience Competition. Most recently, they were finalists in the New Jersey Network Hispanic Youth Showcase Competition and also performed with the Vissi Dance Troupe of New York City, which is a professional group. Tonight the troupe will perform two works. The first piece, entitled “The Slant,” was choreographed by Jaime Perkins, who is a student at Rosa Parks. The second is entitled “Robots,” and was choreographed by their teacher, Ms. Pride. Students, take it away.

Dr. Glascoe: Absolutely fabulous. The young ladies are going to make a quick change of costumes. While they are doing that I do want to acknowledge that we have our Rosa Parks Principal here tonight, Ms. Smith, and our Assistant Principal, Ms. Castro. I would like to invite them up to the microphone to make a few remarks.

Ms. Sharon Smith: Good evening Dr. Glascoe, members of the Board, and everyone who is present this evening. It is with great pride on behalf of the entire Rosa Parks High School family that we are here this evening. Ms. Castro is our Assistant Principal and what she would like to do is put in the hands of Dr. Atallo, and if you can follow her instructions, our revised brochure for this school year. There should be enough for each person who is on the stage if you can take one and pass them down. In October we celebrate and commemorate many activities, such as Latino Heritage, Violence Prevention Week, Substance Awareness Week, and also Arts and Humanities Month. So I am just going to turn the microphone over to our Assistant Principal Ms. Castro as she shares with you while the young ladies are changing a little bit about Arts and Humanities Month. Thank you.

Ms. Robina Castro: Good evening everyone. It is a pleasure for us to be here tonight representing Rosa Parks High School of Fine & Performing Arts. Tomorrow evening we will mark our annual Arts and Humanities Month celebration. We will begin at 6:00 o’clock with a community forum. Of course, the public is welcome to attend. We will have a presentation by all eight of our fine and performing arts majors. We will have exhibits by our fine and commercial arts students. Our piano students as well as our communication arts students will perform in the cafeteria as we serve hors d’oeuvres. Then we will adjourn to the Lou Costello Theater where our drama department will

2 10/17/07 present a scene from their November production, which is an original piece created by the students and the drama instructor, Mr. George Dereani. It reflects on the events of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, as well as the devastation of the AIDS epidemic in our country. We will also have a presentation by our vocal department. Our jazz ensemble will perform. And we will conclude the evening with a performance by our dance majors. So we would like to invite everyone to come out and share the event with us. As I said, it is an annual event and each year we just keep growing and growing. So again, we will begin at approximately 6:00 o’clock at Rosa Parks High School, 413 12th Avenue. Please join us for the evening. Thank you.

(Performance by the Rosa Parks High School of Fine & Performing Arts Dance Repertoire Group)

Dr. Glascoe: Outstanding. I am exhausted. Wonderful! I want to thank the Dance Repertory from Rosa Parks, their dance teacher Ms. Pride, our Vice-Principal Ms. Castro, and our Principal Ms. Smith. I want to thank you again for treating us to such outstanding talent, as we know we have at Rosa Parks, and keep up the good work. Thank you again.

*Comm. Brown enters the meeting at 7:20 p.m.

Comm. Sayegh: Just as a reminder, any member of the general public that wishes to address the Board please sign in at the sheet provided at the podium and each speaker will be allotted three minutes. Thank you Dr. Glascoe.

Dr. Glascoe: Thank you Comm. Sayegh. I assume it is time for me to give my report.

Comm. Sayegh: Yes.

REPORT OF STATE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Resolution to Appoint a New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJQSAC) Planning Committee

Dr. Glascoe: Thank you. I want to share with you an action that we must take as part of the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum, better known as QSAC. One of the things we must do is to convene a planning committee of school district stakeholders. The planning committee would consist of School Board members and community members. It is my duty and responsibility as the State District Superintendent to bring forth some recommendations to this School Board from the community. For some obvious reasons, I am requesting that we have the following members serve on the planning committee: Miguel Diaz, William McDowell, Casey Melvin, Linda Smith, and Irene Sterling. This covers our three advisory groups as well as the Paterson Education Fund, which you know is a mainstay in education in our city, as well as the NAACP. With that I now turn to Comm. Sayegh to provide at least three members of the School Board to serve on this planning committee.

3 10/17/07

*Comm. Kerr enters the meeting at 7:22 p.m.

Comm. Sayegh: Thank you Dr. Glascoe. I believe it was fitting to approach the following individuals, simply because they have been working on policies and part of NJQSAC does deal with governance and development of policies. So at this time I submit the names of Comm. Waheedah Muhammad, Comm. Willa Mae Taylor, and Comm. Jonathan Hodges.

Dr. Glascoe: Since it is a resolution there should be a vote taken.

Resolution No. 1

WHEREAS, as part of the comprehensive review under New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJQSAC), unless N.J.A.C.6A:30-3.1(d), 3.4 or 8.3 applies, each public school district shall complete a District Performance Review, which consists of a self-assessment tool developed by the Department of Education that measures the public school district’s compliance with the weighted quality performance indicators in all five areas of school district effectiveness; and

WHEREAS, the State District Superintendent shall convene a committee to assist in completing the District Performance Review; and

WHEREAS, the State District Superintendent shall determine the number of people to serve on the committee in compliance with 6A:30-3.2; and

WHEREAS, the State District Superintendent may include other persons on the committee with the approval of the district Board of Education; and now therefore

BE IT RESOLVED, that the Paterson Board of Education approves the following appointments to the NJQSAC Planning Committee:

Board Members Community Members Jonathan Hodges Miguel Diaz Waheedah Muhammad William McDowell Willa Mae Taylor Casey Melvin Linda Smith Irene Sterling

It was moved by Comm. Moody and seconded by Comm. Spagnola that the above-mentioned individuals be named as part of the planning committee.

Comm. Atallo: I have some discussion. Can you clarify again what the role of this committee will be?

4 10/17/07 Dr. Glascoe: This planning committee will be working with school staff as we put together the corrective action plan from the QSAC assessments. As you well know, that plan is being constructed as we speak and it is just a matter of having a broad stroke from the community to review that and to advise us as to the direction that we are going. This is a requirement of the QSAC process.

Comm. Atallo: I understand the requirement and I don't have any problem with the individuals. They are all well-known. But I would have thought that we would discuss this at a workshop so we can get some input from the Board. That is all.

Comm. Brown: I want to say that I think the committee that has been put together in reference to QSAC is a very formidable one and the representatives on that board are very qualified and good. I am very proud that the committee has gotten together because I am the one who sponsored the policy committee in the origin of it on this Board. So I am very excited about the planning committee with the community in conjunction with the policy committee that sits on this Board headed by Waheedah Muhammad doing a dynamic job in her first term here. A lot of great things are going to come out of that planning committee and I am excited to be a part of it. Thank you very much.

On roll call all members answered in the affirmative. The motion carried.

Dr. Glascoe: Thank you very much. For the next segment of my report, I just would like to spend a few brief moments talking about block scheduling. Certainly, I am making my comments as a result of the situation here at John F. Kennedy High School. I am not speaking in part regarding the situation itself, but let us just talk about block scheduling. Block scheduling is not new to Paterson. Our academies have been doing block scheduling for a number of years. Eastside High School, our other largest comprehensive high school, had great success with block scheduling last year. Even our K-8 configurations have been using some semblance of block scheduling in that concentrated instructional time for one discipline. Rather than going through that discipline for 35 or 45 minutes, we have concentrated time of 85 minutes. In doing that, which is something that I am sure everyone would agree with, we increase instructional time. It is no secret that our school district is behind. We are lacking in many aspects with student achievement. It stands to reason that we have to work harder and sometimes even longer. But the concentration of time in these classes from the old adage of 45 minutes to 85 minutes is solid best practices. It is not anything just made up here in Paterson. It is solid best practices, which are taking hold across this nation. We have provided staff development. Do we need to provide more staff development? It seems evident from some of the remarks that students make. So we are going to have to take a look at that. But please understand that all of our department heads received staff development and processes in which to turnkey that information with their individual department members. If indeed individual departments, whether it is at John F. Kennedy High School, Eastside, or an academy, would need additional assistance, we are able to do that. Just let us know. So we will be taking a look at that because we don’t want our students feeling that it is a waste of time to sit in a class for 85 minutes.

5 10/17/07 So we will work to try to improve that, not just in Kennedy, but in every aspect of our secondary classes throughout the district. I may also add that block scheduling is a strong component of the secondary education initiative. Secondary schools throughout the State of New Jersey are embracing this as well. So we need to correct the things that are not working and provide the kinds of supports to our students and staff that will certainly support improving their achievement. Thank you. I want to let everybody know too that this week is School Violence Awareness Week and so we have a number of activities that have been going on for the week. In fact, we had a film crew on hand at the new Roberto Clemente School to observe some of their activities and we are very proud of that. I am sure you have seen a number of folks sporting their purple ribbons noting School Violence Awareness Week. One of the things regarding this is something that I think we have to pay much more attention to, and that is the whole aspect of bullying. That is a major part of this and some of our activities are dealing directly with that. So with a keen eye and various activities, not just for this particular week, but throughout the school year, we want to try to combat that to provide a safe and orderly environment for our students. Next week we have Red Ribbon Week, which deals with substance abuse. Again, there is a myriad of programs that will be conducted throughout our schools. I invite parents and other community members to check with their local schools to see what activities they are running and please drop in to take a look at some of the things that are going on. We really appreciate that. Yesterday the School Board members and myself had a joint meeting with the Mayor and the City Council to talk about our facilities challenges. Essentially, this meeting was bringing forth the two entities that really make this city run, the school district and the city government, bringing these two entities together to talk about their thoughts, their plans, and their aspirations as to how we move the facilities challenge through this city. You have two components that drive these two groups. One is the long-range facilities plan from the school district and then you have the master plan from the city. Even in that brief discussion that we had, we recognize that there are some similarities in both of those plans. Our aim is to continue to work in partnership to mesh those plans and hopefully come out with maybe three projects that will fit the needs of either or both plans. So stay tuned. We will be working and conducting some work groups looking at the various data that we discussed yesterday and the various scenarios about public and private partnerships that will help us move forward. We also had in attendance representatives from the School Development Authority as well as the Department of Education. I want everyone to clearly understand that at this point in time the state does not have the funds to move our projects along - at this point in time. I know there are things on the way with the Governor and the legislators to try to free up some funding. How much? We don’t know. Therefore, it behooves us to work together as a city and a school district to come up with creative ways in which to move our projects along. That is the premise and the beginning of that meeting yesterday and we will go forward and see what we can come out with to move our projects along. So stay tuned. I talked about the QSAC steering committee. I do want to say a couple of other things about the QSAC assessments and where we are. There was some mention about the work that Comm. Muhammad is doing with policies. Comm. Brown certainly was a strong advocate of the work of the School Board being governance and policies and we have realized that and we are moving forward. Again, we are a little behind, so Comm.

6 10/17/07 Muhammad and her committee have done just a yeoman’s job in working through the stacks and stacks of policies and bylaws that govern their work and also govern the activities of the school district. So I am hopeful that that portion of the QSAC assessment will improve with the work of the School Board. As far as curriculum and instruction is concerned our overall curriculum is well on its way. We have ways in which to present that information to the community. You are going to see some more creative ways coming out so the community will know exactly what the curriculum is. When we say curriculum, simply put for parents it should be able to provide you with a clear understanding or a guide as to what your child is expected to learn during the duration of that time when they are in certain classes. If they are in third grade, what is my child supposed to learn in third grade math? Clearly that is what the curriculum should be able to explain to the parents and we are working to make sure that information gets out clearly. That concludes my report.

REPORT OF BOARD PRESIDENT

Keeping The Lights On After School: A Proclamation

Comm. Sayegh: Thank you Dr. Glascoe. Just as a reminder once again, any member of the general public who wishes to address the Board of Education has an opportunity to sign in at the sheet provided at the podium. The sheet will be collected at the conclusion of my report by Ms. Cheryl Williams. First I would like to start with an event that will be taking place in the city tomorrow. The Passaic County Workforce Investment Board is sponsoring “Keeping The Lights On After School” night. At this time, I’d like to read into the record the proclamation which will declare “Lights On After School” tomorrow, October 18, 2007:

WHEREAS, the citizens of Paterson, New Jersey stand firmly committed to quality after-school programs and opportunities because they provide safe, challenging, and engaging learning experiences that help children develop social, emotional, physical, and academic skills; support working families by ensuring their children are safe and productive after the regular school day ends; build stronger communities by involving students, parents, business leaders, and adult volunteers in the lives of young people, thereby promoting positive relationships among youth, families, and adults; engage families, schools and community partners in advancing the welfare of our children; and

WHEREAS, the Workforce Investment Board has provided significant leadership in the area of community involvement in the education and well-being of our youth grounded in the principle that quality after-school programs are key to helping our children become successful adults; and

WHEREAS, “Lights On After School”, the national celebration of after- school programs held this year on October 18, 2007, promotes the

7 10/17/07 importance of quality after school programs in the lives of children, families, and communities; and

WHEREAS, more than 28 million children in the United States have parents who work outside the home and 14.3 million children have no place to go after school; and

WHEREAS, many after-school programs across the country are facing funding shortfalls so severe that they are being forced to close their doors and turn off their lights; and

WHEREAS, the Workforce Investment Board is committed to investing in the health and safety of all young people by providing expanding learning opportunities that will help close the achievement gap and prepare young people to compete in the global economy; and now therefore

BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Andre Sayegh, do hereby proclaim October 18, 2007 as “Lights On After School” Day; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Paterson Board of Education enthusiastically endorses “Lights On After School” and commits our efforts to engage in innovative after-school programs and activities that ensure the lights stay on and the doors stay open for all children after school.

I would like to continue with comments that I have made at previous Board meetings regarding our roles and responsibilities as Board members. In addition to holding the administration accountable, we are here to develop policies to ensure student success. As was stated earlier by the Superintendent and Comm. Brown, our policy committee has been working every week towards adopting policies that will further our goal in ultimately wresting control from Trenton. I am proposing that we meet in yet another Board forward and tomorrow I will have our office poll Board members as to when a suitable date is so we can meet once again in a Board forward facilitated by the New Jersey School Boards Association to discuss policy development. I am also encouraged by recent news that I have received regarding test scores. It had been reported some months ago that the Cycle 1 results indicated our test scores have increased. The Cycle 2 results are in and that information will be forthcoming. It shows that Paterson schools are moving ahead and the final test data shows significant improvements in student scores. In fact, as far as AYP is concerned it has doubled, from 11 in 2006 to 22 in 2007. 78% of general education students are passing in mathematics and language arts tests. 71% of total student passing percentages were higher across the categories by grade and subject in the state’s math and language arts tests compared to last year’s results across all grades 3, 8, and 11 in all students. At this time, I want to commend and congratulate our students, our staff, our teachers, and our administration, and I want to exhort you to continue the commendable work and continue the progress that we are starting to see in our school district. That concludes my report. At this time, I would like to have a motion to open the floor up for public

8 10/17/07 comments. Please be reminded that each speaker will have three minutes to address the Board of Education. I ask that you wait patiently in your seat until Ms. Williams has called your name.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

It was moved by Comm. Brown, seconded by Comm. Kerr that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be opened.

Comm. Atallo: Under discussion, are we changing the format now?

Comm. Sayegh: It was announced at our last meeting in compliance with our bylaws.

Comm. Atallo: We did not adopt the change of the format. We are a public body. The first word of that is public. We are responsible to the public and we are elected by the public and before we just arbitrarily and capriciously change the format I think we need to get feedback. I know we discussed this at the workshop but there was no discussion of agreement. I, as one Board member, did not agree to changing the format. I don’t believe in restricting public comments. I believe in structure, but at the same time I think we should give the public ample opportunity to speak. So we can proceed with this tonight but I, for one, did not vote to support this. I think we need to hear from the public as to what they feel about changing the format. This is the one time during the month they are allowed to address the Board and speak. So let us be gracious and respectful to the public that elects us.

Comm. Sayegh: Comm. Atallo, as I stated in our last regular meeting and which is a part of our minutes, we are not in compliance of our bylaws that already exist. So there was no need for a vote to be taken. As a part of NJQSAC and in the department of governance, as far as that area is concerned, we were found not to be compliant as far as even running our own meetings and a public portion is concerned. So I would suggest that we reference the bylaws that are already existing that state we must have a sign-in sheet and each speaker has three minutes.

Comm. Atallo: Let us be very gracious to the public. Bylaws can be changed and modified accordingly. They are not cast in stone. This is not the Ten Commandments coming down in tablets. We are responsible to the public.

Comm. Sayegh: That is true and I strongly suggest that you bring that to the attention of the policy committee and I am sure they will take that into consideration.

Comm. Atallo: I am bringing it to the attention of the Board as a whole tonight right now.

Comm. Sayegh: And the policy committee.

Comm. Atallo: You have been advised.

9 10/17/07 On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried.

Comm. Sayegh: Please be reminded each speaker will be given three minutes. We actually have a new system. To my right we will indicate the time each individual has to address the Board of Education. At the end of the three minutes, I will kindly ask you to conclude your remarks and politely take your seat. First speaker please.

Ms. Tasha Cromartie: Hi. My name is Tasha Cromartie. I have a daughter that attends Great Falls Academy and my daughter was arrested for assault on two school officials. But what took place was unacceptable with me. The school officials did not do their job. They threw my daughter down to the ground. She has bruises on her arms where a school official got handcuffs from an officer and handcuffed my daughter. Now they are telling me that my daughter will be placed on home instruction. That does not sit well with me because if she got suspended for five days then they need to be suspended for five days or even more until the investigation is over. She does not want to go back to the school because she is in fear and it is unfair to her to have to come here in order to get her point across. I have sent e-mails. I have faxed people. First it was in-school suspension and then the next day it was five days of out-of-school suspension. That does not sit well with me. Somebody is confused and it sure is not me. We need to get to the bottom of this. I will not have my daughter abused by two school officials that should know better and then have to sit outside of school and get her education while they are still working getting a paycheck. That is not sitting well with me. I pay my taxes in order for them to eat. So something needs to be done.

Comm. Sayegh: Ma’am, I am not quite sure if you had an opportunity to address this with Ms. Lyde.

Ms. Cromartie: I have done that. That is why I am here, because that is not sitting well with me. And the two accusers were Mr. Zatiti Moody and Mr. Brian Veal. I have pictures, medical records, and everything.

Comm. Sayegh: Ma’am, I don’t think we can mention names at this public forum. What I am going to ask you to do is you have already brought this to the attention of the administration.

Ms. Cromartie: Before I brought it here I tried to speak to the supervisor/principal of that school and he was so indignant that I had to call Ms. Lyde because he would not tell me the story. That is unreal. I can't get it from you so I have to go over your head in order for you to tell me a story that is going on with my child. That does not sit well with me. Somebody is going to tell me something before I leave here today because she is not going on home instruction. If she is going home they are going home.

Comm. Sayegh: Once again, Ms. Lyde is in the audience and she would be the appropriate person to address.

Mr. Cromartie: I did that already.

10 10/17/07

Comm. Sayegh: Dr. Rush will address that as well.

Ms. Cromartie: I have done that too. That is why I am here.

Comm. Sayegh: At this time that is all I can tell you and unfortunately time has expired.

Ms. Michele Tobias: I have to give my name and address again? Michele Tobias, 12th Ave., Paterson. Good evening everyone. I am here to speak tonight about MPACT. I want to know a few things. The tarp that was taken off the building by the fire department or whoever, is anything going to be done about that soon?

Dr. Glascoe: We are trying to look into that now.

Ms. Tobias: My child is getting home instruction in an outhouse. I requested someone to be his instructor in an outhouse, I mean school, but I have not gotten anything as of yet and he has been sick for a couple of weeks again. I requested this gentleman, Mr. Stewart, because he had him last year and there were no problems and nothing went wrong. I also requested a meeting with Dr. Rush and the Superintendent but I did not get a response from that either. I got one from Dr. Rush but I had another date. So can we still get these meetings that I would like to have? I put it in writing, Dr. Glascoe, because you always said at your meetings anything we need to talk to you about put it in writing and I have done that. So can I get a response?

Dr. Glascoe: If you put it in writing we will respond to you.

Ms. Tobias: I saw in the paper about someone calling in a bomb scare at the high school. I need to ask on that bomb scare the two kids said they were ashamed of what they did and they said they were sorry. Why did they not evacuate Kennedy when they had the bomb scare?

Comm. Sayegh: I think Dr. Miller, Principal of Kennedy High School, is in the audience. In fact, he is right behind you raising his hand. If you want to address that to him he can provide you with the appropriate answer.

Ms. Tobias: Eastside had a big fight yesterday and the children were Maced. Is this the behavior now with the police department to Mace our children in schools? Can you tell me what is going on with that as well?

Comm. Sayegh: Ms. Tobias, can you address that to Ms. Lyde?

Ms. Tobias: Thank you.

Dr. Hani Awadallah: Good evening. I just want to be in the habit from now on of signing in as soon as I come in because when the Superintendent comes in and speaks something I might have something to comment on. I came here to comment on the EZ-

11 10/17/07 Pass story, which was very ridiculous in today’s newspaper. I would like to address this to the Commissioner of Education. If you really want to get rid of Dr. Glascoe you should have very solid justifiable reasons to do that. Please no nitpicking and no innuendos. It is very sad what I read today and that is what I came here for on a leg and a half. But Dr. Glascoe has said we have for the QSAC steering committee a broad stroke of the community. It seems, Dr. Glascoe, whenever you do anything if you have Latinos and Blacks you are all safe. You forget about the rest of the people in here as if we the Arab and Muslim people in this city don’t count. That is not very becoming to tell you the truth. I have been involved in here helping the city and the schools of Paterson for the past 12 years. I don't know if it is by choice or whatever, but to use your words, you said you have a broad stoke of the community. It is not a broad stoke, sir. A broad stroke is when you involve everybody and people who really are capable of advising you and the schools. So I hope next time when you do that you look at the broad stroke to be a little broader. I hope also that regarding your meetings with the City Council and the Mayor and the state people it is really advisable that you include community leaders who are interested in what you are discussing. It would be very beneficial and it would also have a broad stroke from the community, which could make your job and your work more effective. I don’t want to dwell on this but I have addressed that to you, Dr. Glascoe, more than once but to no avail. Somehow you have so many people in this city, about 73 different communities here, and you have to address these people. It is not only Blacks and Latinos. These people are in there and they are just as concerned about the education of their kids as anybody else. We have nothing against the African American community. They are our brothers and sisters, as well as the Latino community. But we should be all in this together.

Comm. Sayegh: Dr. Awadallah, based on your remarks it appears that you are expressing interest in representing the Arab and Muslim community on this NJQSAC committee. Dr. Glascoe, would you consider it?

Dr. Glascoe: Absolutely.

Dr. Awadallah: It is a fact that should be self-induced. I don’t have to remind him of that.

Dr. Glascoe: Well, maybe it was a poor choice of words but I was just talking about our various committees. I meant no disrespect to any one group and you certainly are welcome to join us.

Ms. Liz Santos: Good evening. I am Liz Santos and I am a senior at International High School. I am here to represent the Paterson Youth Council. This is our second year. I am the newly elected President of the Paterson Youth Council.

Comm. Sayegh: Congratulations.

Ms. Santos. Thank you. I am here to basically tell you what we will be doing this year and what we have already done. This past weekend we had a retreat at Camp Hope

12 10/17/07 where we are able to elect our executive board and our committee members. Our initiatives for this year are to continue our Martin Luther King Practice Award where we will represent the youth of Paterson. We have two community service projects coming up this year and we have a new financial educational program coming up. So you will be seeing us a lot this year and we hope to be seeing you. Our next meeting is on Saturday, November 10 from 9:00 to 12:00 at 32 Spruce Street. If you need any more information or you want to get involved our number is (973) 413-1625. I hope to be seeing you. Thank you.

Dr. Glascoe: Do you have a list of your meeting dates throughout the year?

Ms. Santos: No, but I will get that to you.

Dr. Glascoe: Just send it to our office.

Comm. Sayegh: And your officers as well, please. Thank you and we wish you continued success.

Ms. Tamicka Bolds-Wilson: Good evening. I am here this evening in reference to the SES services. I understand that the academies fall under different schools, such as BUILD Academy falls under School 13. If we have not met AYP why is it that our children can't receive the services? Can anyone from the Board answer that?

Dr. Glascoe: Ms. Bolds, when you finish your comments I will have a staff member go over that process with you because we have to identify the schools and explain that to you.

Ms. Bolds: So if we have children in that school who are performing not proficient or partially proficient and they are not meeting the needs, because we fall under another school we can't even see the report card from our school. We don’t know our scores. How do we pull our scores apart from School 13? School 13 is receiving Title I funds and we are not receiving any funds. Why are we not receiving any services at BUILD Academy but we have children there who are not performing?

Dr. Glascoe: One of our staff members will talk to you when you move away from the microphone.

Ms. Bolds: Which staff member?

Dr. Glascoe: I can't see that far.

Ms. Bolds: I already dealt with Grace Ayala. All day today we tried to figure this out as well. We are trying to figure it out.

Dr. Glascoe: Ms. Bolds, we are not going to do it right here.

13 10/17/07 Ms. Bolds: As a Superintendent, I thought you could give me a little more clarity on how this works.

Dr. Glascoe: You can talk with Ms. Ayala and if you still need some clarification we will try to work it out with you.

Ms. Bolds: That is what I am telling you, Dr. Glascoe. I met with Grace Ayala today and we are trying to figure out according to the codes how do I get my school scores and how do we find out how our children receive the same services that other children are receiving in our district. It is not fair to our children at BUILD Academy that we are not receiving supplemental educational services for our children who are not performing. We can't meet AYP either if we are not receiving all the services that other schools are receiving. How are we supposed to meet AYP as well if we don’t receive the same services? We want to be serviced too. I know I want my daughter serviced. If we have funds available for that and if other schools are not utilizing those funds, why is it that children who want to go and parents who can accommodate their children to go are not allowed to go?

Comm. Sayegh: Ms. Bolds, we can find out how we can disaggregate that information. But at the present time if you want to continue the conversation with Grace Ayala and do not receive any resolution then I urge you to contact the Superintendent’s office.

Ms. Bolds: It was said before in our district that if your school did not provide a service you can go to your neighboring school for that service. Is that still the same?

Comm. Sayegh: Once again, I am going to ask that you speak to Ms. Ayala who is in the back ready to answer your question.

Ms. Bolds: To whom?

Comm. Sayegh: Ms. Grace Ayala.

Ms. Nydia Rivera: My name is Nydia Rivera. I live at 49 Crooks Avenue in Paterson. I have a son who is a student at Eastside High School. I am the President of the Latino Parents Organization and I am here tonight to advocate for two special education children whose needs are not being serviced by the school system. There is one student in this high school who has been left back three times in the sophomore year. For whatever reason, he is not connecting to what is going on in the classroom. I have requested from Dr. Rush that this child be placed in a technical school because he is good with his hands his mother tells me. She would like to see him in a technical school taking on mechanics, which is something he enjoys. I have not heard anything back and I wrote to Dr. Rush back in June. This mother said that she has been around many different offices of the Board of Education trying to get help for her son and no one has listened. She went to the guidance counselor and the guidance counselor said he could always quit. That is not an option and I am very upset at whoever that guidance counselor is here at Kennedy High School. When I am finished here I would like to

14 10/17/07 speak to someone in special education. There is a young girl in second grade eight years old who is in a regular classroom. The girl is special education and she should be in a special education class. In 1999 there was an IEP that stated she should never be in a regular classroom. She is now in a regular classroom with no aide. That is illegal. In her IEP she was also promised a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, and a reading specialist. She only has a speech therapist. I have had a reading specialist of my own, who is a part of my organization, test her and she tests out at a pre-K reading level and she is struggling with that. She was left back in kindergarten. She was left back in first grade. And she is going to be left back again. I want her to be put in a grade that can help her with her situation presently.

Comm. Sayegh: Thank you for that information, Ms. Rivera. Dr. Carcamo has her hand raised. Please see her.

Ms. Valerie Freeman: Good evening. My name is Valerie Freeman from 53 North 4th Street. I have a little piece of advice. I have been getting a lot of calls from parents and it is based on how they are dealt with when they call the Superintendent’s office or when they need to speak to a superintendent. I do understand we are all in meetings and we are all busy trying to make sure to get October 15 in order and getting our count together. But when a parent comes, calls, e-mails, and is constantly calling, someone should reach out. You should not put your secretary in a position where she has to cover and say, “I gave him the message.” What you are showing the parents is that you really don’t care. There was no need for Ms. Cromartie to come here and address the Board about her daughter’s situation when she reached out to several people in the Board of Education. There is no need for that. Some of the things don’t need to be broadcast but when you don’t reach back out to parents and you make the parents feel that they are not important this is what happens. This is the stuff that people need to see. However bad it may look and sound, these are the things that people need to see, the treatment that the parents get. Not every parent is treated well. So just a word of advice, communicate with each other and when a parent reaches out it is serious. It could easily have been avoided for her coming here. You may be looking at a lawsuit. We don’t need that. We don’t have enough money now in the district. Do you understand what I am saying? If she is not getting what she needs she is going to sue. We don’t need that. All it takes is somebody getting back to her. It is that simple. If they call us and we don’t get back to them they are on our back. It is that simple. You have to know how to communicate and handle parents. I am getting calls and I tell them, “Keep calling, e-mail, and all aspects of it. Do what you have to do. Go down there.” Going down there is like Fort Knox. You can't get in. It is an open door policy but you can't get in. The security guard downstairs says, “Let me call upstairs and see if you can get in.” If there is an open door policy in this district when that parent goes to 35 Church Street I don’t need a security guard calling and saying “Let me see if he can see you now.” If I have to come down there it is serious. That is all I am saying. I just want to know about this New Jersey Parent Information and Resource Center. Who can give me more information about Resolution A-57? I just need to get some information on that background because I did check on the website and I don’t see any

15 10/17/07 success stories or anything. I know they dealt with New Brunswick but I would like to know more about them.

Comm. Sayegh: Ms. Freeman, I would suggest that you see Dr. Fulmore who is in the back. He can provide you with the information you requested.

Ms. Deborah Higgins: Good evening. My name is Debra Higgins from Paterson, New Jersey. I want to start tonight by clarifying some points regarding my statements that I am in agreement with Commissioner Davy and her decision not to extend Dr. Glascoe’s contract. I want to have my remarks on record as per Comm. Sayegh’s new format of documenting our concerns. Everyone on the Board of Education and Dr. Glascoe will receive a copy of this statement and all future comments I make at these Board meetings for a documented history of my remarks. First, on my comments about Dr. Glascoe, the Board members are not motivated by any personal issues of mine because personally I don’t know them and it is not a concern of mine to get to know them on that level. However, I just know that what I see of the way most of this group handles itself professionally does not reflect their favorite quote of ‘Children First’ and ‘Accountability.’ Nor are the viewpoints expressed by me from this podium based on any political affiliations I may have. I have watched at previous meetings and observed that far too many people up on the dais are willing to fight out their political issues under the guise of children-related issues. I agree with the Hispanic gentleman who spoke at the City Council meeting and stated, “Let us not let the children in the district be the pawns in the political fighting in this city because they are the ones who are paying for these blurred political agendas that have crept into the children’s educational programs.” Secondly, on coming to these meetings to address the gaps in the educational services that are being provided for the children in this district, it is important to highlight these gaps to make sure the community at large is aware that these problems exist and that you have been challenged to effectively work in your professional position to rectify the problems. I want to close my statement with my surprise that the NAACP was rallying to Dr. Glascoe’s aid in this attempt by Commissioner Davy to alert him that there is still too much missing in the district as it relates to the children’s educational needs. Why am I surprised? Because Dr. Glascoe, and unfortunately I must say several African Americans on the Board, will attend meetings with the parents and stakeholders in the community and they will walk past you as another Black individual and not even acknowledge your presence at the meetings. It is surprising that these Black individuals who have obtained a position where they are supposed to be at least able to respect and acknowledge each other as people will act as if they are walking on water and not even speak. You should have learned manners at home or acquired some socialization skills as you embarked on your careers. So how does Dr. Glascoe get the ear and the support of the NAACP with this poor track record? (Beginning of new tape)…my final comment is that we are coming as concerned people to speak truth to power. We may be Arabic, Hispanic, African American or Caucasian. When we come to the podium to voice our concerns our ethnicity does not count. Our children count. We are united together for the good of all the children in the district of Paterson to make sure that they have the chance to get a good quality education. Thank you very much.

16 10/17/07

Ms. Irene Sterling: Good evening. My name is Irene Sterling. I am the President of the Paterson Education Fund and it is my pleasure to invite you tonight to our Annual Graduating Every Paterson Child Conference at Passaic County Community College this Saturday, October 20. We are very lucky to have with us as our keynote speaker Governor Bob Weiss, former governor of West Virginia and current President of the Alliance for Excellent Education. I had the opportunity last week to go down to Washington in my professional development to attend the Alliance for Education’s annual conference where they were focusing on high school reform. In fact, Governor Weiss has been one of the leaders up on Capitol Hill with Congress working on the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind. He and a dedicated group of legislators are doing some very extraordinary things around the reauthorization law. For the first time, No Child Left Behind is going to include support for our high schools. They are conceiving of it as moving from No Child Left Behind to Every Child A Graduate. For Paterson that is a critical issue. I looked at our graduation stats for last year that came from our report cards. I want you to know that even though our high schools are improving, Kennedy and Eastside are in the bottom 10. Not 10%, but the bottom 10 in this state. We think things are getting better because our performance previously has been so poor. How come 210 high schools are graduating 93% of their kids? Their teachers are taking responsibility to engage those children. Many of them are using block scheduling and project-based learning as the tool. That is a national issue. It is a national best practice. A good part of our conference was focused on how different districts are implementing those things in various parts of the curriculum. We have got to take that very seriously. We have a crisis we don’t understand. Bob Balfance, a professor at the University of Maryland, has put out a number of studies about dropouts in the United States and there are 200 high schools across this country that he calls dropout factories. Unfortunately, two of them are here in Paterson and they have been over a long time. We have got to work with Dr. Glascoe to change that. In the last two years we have made great strides in moving particularly Kennedy’s position forward and we have got to keep focused on that. The kids we don’t graduate will cost this city for years in lost wages, incarceration, and in public services and we need to fix it. Thank you very much.

Ms. Jacqueline A. Rogers: Good evening everybody. I am beginning to ask myself why I even bother to come up here and to talk. Dr. Glascoe and all the Commissioners who were able to make the meeting this past Tuesday, I stood up there and I had just said how it was so positive for all the Board Commissioners, the Superintendent, the Mayor and the City Council people. We get there and we are talking because it was said at the meeting that we really want to put children first. But then we come in here and we have issues concerning children being arrested in schools and nobody wants to deal with it. As Ms. Freeman said, if you deal with these things when they happen and people do things according to the rules, everybody is playing by the rules, not just some people. What is good for the geese is good for the gander. It does not matter if your father is a Commissioner. You have to treat people with respect. This is just ridiculous. All of that good positive work we did on Tuesday and now we have to come here to the Board meetings and we have to be fussing and carrying on. Where is the progress? Where is

17 10/17/07 it? We said we are here to support and help children and then we have to come out and have meetings like this. It is a waste of time and I am going to use my time a little bit more wisely from this point on because this is ridiculous. My thing too is to appeal to the parents to not just come here to School Board meetings but to get involved in your children’s education from start to finish. As these Board members are saying about accountability, every parent should be holding this Board accountable for the education of their children. If you have one child or five children, it does not matter. It is like you don’t take people seriously. I, for one, if something is wrong with my child someone is going to do something about it, and not tomorrow, not later on, not you call me back. You tell me you are calling people and then I find out that you don’t call people. And I am not just talking about hearsay. This is the stuff that is going on and parents should not have to be treated this way. We are the real stakeholders because guess what? Without any children none of you would have jobs. So you really need to think about the way you are treating our children because these are our babies. Black, White, Hispanic or whatever - these are our babies. As Ms. Sterling said, and I repeated before, if we don’t educate we are going to incarcerate. Forget the buildings and all this other kind of stuff. You are building schools and nobody is going to come because people are tired of being treated with disrespect from those who are in authority who are supposed to have our children first.

Mr. Charles Ferrer: Good evening. My name is Charles Ferrer. Is this a format change where it is three minutes for everyone? Next time let us put that in the paper, please. I just want to look at A-57. I have some concerns as to why we need to go out. I don’t care if it is free. We have a wealth of resources when it comes to parent information right here in this city that we don’t need to go out and bring someone else in. Next, I would like to look at C-23. My question is why do we need to go out for competitive contracting to provide overall facilities management? What is wrong with what we have in-house that we have to pay someone? Dealing with facilities is common sense. If we are looking to pay for this firm to come in and manage our facilities, that is ridiculous. You can walk through these buildings and see the problems. They stare right out at you. It is not rocket science. It is very simple. That is something you need to think about because I spend a lot of time now looking to see what idiotic writings come up in the Herald News in the editorials and even their view is wrong because they get misinformation. I did not know Dr. Glascoe was helping the Paterson district with Stupski in 2004 from down in Virginia. They claim that in 2004 he was involved in Stupski but he was not even here. But that was in Sunday’s ‘Our View.’ Then I have to read an article that talks about how Dr. Duroy in the last negotiation gave the teachers the candy store. So I looked at my check, I looked at last year and I looked at this year and I got an increase of $50-$100 per paycheck, so I guess I got the wrappers. But then when I read Dr. Glascoe’s contract I said if Duroy gave us the candy store then Librera gave Dr. Glascoe the factory. What I saw on this contract blew my mind. As a performance incentive if you accomplish two of your goals or objectives you get a 5% increase of your annual salary. In 2005 it was $200,000. If you generate the 4.5% each year and then this year we might be around $230,000. So somebody wants to make comments in the paper that the store was given to the teachers? Wrong. If it was, some of your relatives benefited from that. But the factory was given to the

18 10/17/07 Superintendent. Let us make it plain. And Board members, this format stinks. You should be better than that.

It was moved by Comm. Kerr, seconded by Comm. Brown that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be closed. On roll call all members voted as follows:

Comm. Atallo: Yes. Comm. Brown: Yes. Comm. Hodges: Yes. Comm. Kerr: Yes. Comm. Moody: Yes. Comm. Muhammad: Yes. Comm. Taylor: No. Comm. Sayegh: Yes.

The motion carried.

Comm. Hodges: Mr. President, I would like an opportunity to comment on the public portion. I want to say first off that I get a little distressed when I hear comments that suggest that the Board is somehow at variance with the parents and the community. That bothers me immensely because many times the public does not understand what the Board does here. People seem to feel that these public meetings are the only times we are engaged in working to benefit parents and students and that simply is not the case. There are a number of activities that these people up here engage in on a routine basis at all hours of the day and going way into late at night without pay because this is not our job. We don't work here. We are not getting paid to do any of this. We commit ourselves because we are serious about increasing the educational product in this community and that is not always understood. I am particularly distressed at the notion, Dr. Glascoe, of parents or anybody making phone calls and not having them answered. I am distressed at the notion that we appear not to be addressing the issues of these parents when they come down to the microphone. I think some of these questions might be questions that people have at home and they never hear the answers to them. And it appears that we are dismissing people and we are not addressing the people sitting at home and people sitting in the audience. That is not the case, but it appears that way and that is a problem. Somehow we have to make it clearer that we are responding to some of these needs and that we are addressing the concerns of the people who have children in our district. I don’t know, Mr. President, how the format can be adjusted to address that but I am off put by the interactions that I see. I am very disturbed by that. I think the main purpose of this meeting is to do the Board’s business and the public portion is an aside. We have the responsibility to pay bills and to consider resolutions that help make this a more effective educational system. However, since we do have the public portion we have to somehow make it workable for the parents and for the community. So we need to discuss that. I really hope that we can find some system that will enable us to ensure that when parents call the district either

19 10/17/07 for an appointment or for a question or something that somebody gets back to them in a timely fashion.

Comm. Sayegh: Before we get to Comm. Brown, I want to address a remark that you made. I propose that we meet like we used to at one time in Board forums so we have an open dialogue with the community so we can discuss other issues outside of the agenda. So we can do a community Board forum. What I will do is I will poll Board members in coming weeks to see when is an appropriate date and time.

Comm. Brown: I am also concerned about some of the same issues that Dr. Hodges raised about the public’s concern. I think at some point this Board should consider that when parents come down here with certain types of issues I don't want the public to think that these issues have never been resolved. So maybe we might want to consider at some point trying to include in our reports that at our next regular meeting we let the public know that these issues that parents and the public bring to the Board are resolved so the public does not think they go unheard. I think that the Board needs to consider that as we move forward in engaging the public’s will.

Comm. Taylor: I can recall when I was the president of the Board as often as I could I had a meeting with Dr. Glascoe to make sure everyone who came before us had a resolution to the problem. And some, he said, took longer time. I would really endorse that this Board seriously try to make us more parent-friendly. I do agree with the parents who ask for that. For us to be friendly all of us have to understand what friendly really means. We will all have to do a real workshop on what do you mean as a parent by parent-friendly. Someone just said to us today that having an answer back after an email or a conference with someone who they thought did not answer the issue. So we need to examine that and see where we should go from there. I think our biggest challenge right now is to become a parent-friendly school community on the part of our secretarial, our teachers, our parents, and anyone who has anything to do with education in this district. We have got to learn how to do that. We can't do it by just talking back and forth at each other. We have got to get together.

Comm. Hodges: A few years back we developed a parent encounter survey where every time a parent entered a building they had the ability to rate their encounter. That did not necessarily mean they got everything they wanted, but it gave us a gauge of how they were treated. Were the secretarial staff and security and even the administrators appropriate in addressing them? Even if they were not satisfied with the outcomes they would at least get that. We could gauge that activity and look at some areas of problems. We need to resurrect that survey and perhaps develop it further.

Comm. Sayegh: We can look at that in our next Board Forward.

Comm. Brown: Talking about children and parents, I want to make one brief comment. The council meeting before last that I was at I was very disheartened. I thought that Councilman Rooney disrespected this body and this school district by presenting a false perception of all the fire code violations that exist in this district. I am upset and I am

20 10/17/07 outraged. At that meeting, I said what about all the City of Paterson’s fire code violations. That has not been addressed. You have employees of the City of Paterson who are working in substandard conditions. You have City of Paterson buildings that don’t have certificates of occupancy, evacuation plans, and have not engaged in fire drills. That is the responsibility of the City Council. For Thomas Rooney to bring a book that is the size of a telephone book and try to talk about the Board of Education, I think that Councilman Rooney should be concerned about the employees and the public that walks in and out of those city-owned buildings that provide safety not only for the employees and the public, but for the children that go in and out of those public buildings. City Hall does not even have a certificate of occupancy. The basement of City Hall only has one means of egress and the Mayor has three departments in the basement. Councilman McKoy raised the level about 111 Broadway. So my point is that I am very disturbed that Councilman Rooney wants to take a shot at our school district and about the minor fire code violations. Mayor Torres did not do it when Dr. Duroy was here when they were worse five years ago. So the timing is very suspicious to me and very disrespectful, not only to the public but to the Paterson children and parents. Before an administration wants to come into someone else’s backyard, make sure your own backyard is clean. Let us talk about 125 Ellison Street with one means of egress and no fire escape. If you want to talk about problems, let us talk about solutions. So before the Mayor wants to come over here to this school district, why don’t you worry about taking care of your own employees and the public that walks in and out of all of the public buildings in the City of Paterson?

It was moved by Comm. Spagnola, seconded by Comm. Muhammad that Resolution Nos. A-1 through A-57 be adopted.

Comm. Moody: Does that include the addendum?

Comm. Sayegh: Yes.

Comm. Atallo: On A-6, I was told at previous meetings we were going to look at alternative providers but the same company keeps popping up every month for a substantial amount of money, $179,000 this month. What are we doing to look at other options of carriers? I have addressed the question through the Chair to the Superintendent.

Comm. Sayegh: Actually, you did not. You are doing it now.

Comm. Hodges: You did not address it to anybody, Dr. Atallo.

Comm. Atallo: I would like to address the question through the Chair to the Superintendent. This issue has come up before with this provider. My question essentially is what are we doing to look at other providers as well as to see if we can provide the same service in a similar or superior way for a similar or more cost-effective price?

Dr. Glascoe: That is always an ongoing process, Dr. Atallo, and we have not settled on any contracts or any other groups at this time. We are still with Catapult until we make a decision otherwise.

Comm. Atallo: Are we looking into other providers at this time?

Dr. Glascoe: We have. I don’t have the specific names but that is always an ongoing process in curriculum and instruction. We are always looking at different carriers.

48 10/17/07 Comm. Atallo: Because this has been a fact historically that this same company keeps coming up all the time long before you came on board as Superintendent. So it has been a long-standing issue and I just assume that there are other providers that do this type of educational service. My next question is on A-57. This is dealing with an agreement with the New Jersey Parent Information Resource Center. Have you been in contact with our own Parent Resource Center and Ms. Taliaferro and her staff regarding this resolution?

Dr. Glascoe: Ms. Taliaferro has been out ill, as you probably already know, and Dr. Fulmore has been working very closely with the Parent Resource Center. In fact, they were very excited about the program and training that they held. Was that today or yesterday, Dr. Fulmore? Monday and today. So we are pressing forward.

Comm. Atallo: It is great that we are pressing forward. But my suggestion is, and other Board members may want to weigh in, long before you were involved here Dr. Glascoe and long before I was involved here and long before virtually everybody on this panel was involved here, Anna Taliaferro was involved as a parent advocate in this city and on the state and national level. We have a true resource and I think it would be disrespectful not to include her in the process. I think it is only beneficial when you have someone with the experience and expertise and the long-standing background that she has to involve her. I would just respectfully state that before we proceed with any type of resolution dealing with parent involvement and parent information that we deal with our resident expert Anna Taliaferro. I think that would be a prudent thing to do. I don't know if other Board members want to weigh in. She was doing this for years before any of us really came on the scene and got involved in the community with education or as Board members. We should draw upon that valuable resource.

Comm. Taylor: On A-57, is this the same group that Ms. Taliaferro said she was with?

Comm. Atallo: No.

Comm. Sayegh: But Dr. Glascoe has said that training has been provided on Monday and Wednesday.

Comm. Spagnola: Does this add to her position of empowering parents? Is this part and parcel of exactly what she is doing now?

Dr. Glascoe: Absolutely. It enhances.

Comm. Spagnola: It enhances what she is doing right now.

Dr. Glascoe: Sure. It does in no way take away from it.

Comm. Spagnola: So she is going to part of this.

Dr. Glascoe: Sure.

49 10/17/07

Comm. Spagnola: Okay. That is what I wanted to know.

On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried.

It was moved by Comm. Moody, seconded by Comm. Spagnola that Resolution Nos. B-1 through B-6 be adopted.

52 10/17/07 Comm. Atallo: Through the Chair, I would like to ask the Superintendent, on Resolution B-2 for continuation of the lease agreement with the City of Paterson for the rental of 133 Ellison Street, we were in this building for a number of years. Why are we backdating this resolution? The agenda says July 1, 2007. Tonight is October 17. Why are we renewing a lease from July 1? We have been in this building a number of years. I am assuming in the spring we are anticipating a continuation of the lease in this building. Why are we only now getting a resolution and why is it dated July 1? Why did we not get this in May or June when we could have had reasonable time to discuss it? Now we are doing a lease retroactively with a backdated number. Can we get an answer?

Dr. Glascoe: We will have to get back to you.

Comm. Atallo: I appreciate that because that is of concern to me. My other question to the Superintendent is do we have a rodent problem at 133 Ellison Street?

Dr. Glascoe: We have a rodent problem in a number of our buildings. In fact, I recall the time when Dr. Rush was in that facility and witnessed firsthand a couple of four- legged visitors and he in turn ordered immediate extermination of the area. Within three weeks they were back. We just had a problem at one of our schools brought to our attention. This is an ongoing problem in our city.

Comm. Atallo: But the lease that we are discussing tonight, Resolution B-2, is there an ongoing rodent problem at 133 Ellison Street?

Dr. Glascoe: That is what I said. We will continue to exterminate if that is the term. We will combat it, but they come back. It is that whole block, by the way.

Comm. Atallo: I happened to be there for a meeting one early evening and I saw two rats running by. So it is a serious problem from a health standpoint and a safety standpoint. So I would hope the administration would immediately move to bring in the appropriate exterminators for those rats, four-legged and two-legged. My next question is on B-3, on the execution of a lease at 181-84 Ellison Street for the 2007-2008 year. Again, the date on this lease is backdated. It is October 17 and we are going back. We have been leasing that property for parking this past year. If the administration had anticipated leasing it again for this upcoming year why are we getting a resolution in October when the resolution should have been from the inception of the lease?

Dr. Glascoe: We will get back to you as well.

Comm. Atallo: My other question is why are continuing to lease space for parking? Why are we not buying it? If we are looking at buying buildings for central office and if we are looking to close out some of these other leases why don’t we make an offer on the property? Why don’t we get a reasonable market analysis so we get an idea of what the property is worth? Since we were meeting yesterday with the Department of Education and the School Development Authority and since we are a state-operated

53 10/17/07 district, we should approach them about invoking the power of eminent domain and acquiring the property instead of paying $91,200 to park 80 cars. We have been doing this in the past so it seems to be much more cost-effective to buy the property. Even if we budget our own money we are spending over half a million dollars a year to the city to park in the parking garages. It would just seem to make economic sense to buy the property and amortize the cost over a period of time. It is much cheaper than continuing to pay rent. That is my concern, that we should not just deal short term and be reactionary. We should think long-term. That is my concern. On Resolutions B-4 and B-5, I am going to abstain for the reasons I always state. These are resolutions dealing with contracts with the Paterson YMCA and I am sitting on the Board of Directors, so I will abstain on those resolutions.

Comm. Brown: I just have a question relevant to some of the issues that Comm. Atallo raised on the legality from legal just to inform us that it is legal that we can vote on these backdated contracts, for the record.

Mr. Sayovitz: They are not backdated contracts. The date of the contract is the date that they are executed. A contract can cover items that occurred in the past just the way you have a teachers’ contract for example that may deal with issues that concerned the past. The date of the contract is when it is executed. It is not being backdated in any sort of deceitful way.

Comm. Brown: I understand. I just want to make sure.

Mr. Sayovitz: It is therefore legal to sign that contract. It may be a modification of the prior terms or may not be. I don’t know. But it is legal to do that.

Comm. Brown: So it is legal for us to vote on these tonight?

Mr. Sayovitz: Yes.

Comm. Atallo: Point of order through the legal chair. The attorney says it might be legal. I don't think it is a prudent policy…

Comm. Sayegh: I am sorry, Dr. Atallo. That is not a point of order.

Comm. Atallo: Yes it is.

Comm. Sayegh: You’re commenting and that is discussion.

Comm. Atallo: No. It is a point of order.

Comm. Sayegh: Maybe a point of clarification. You are using the term in the inappropriate fashion.

54 10/17/07 Comm. Atallo: Let’s not waste time. Point of clarification. We have contracts on leases here going back to July 1. If you are saying you are not backdating them, I don't know what else you would call it. Here it is October 17 and if we knew at the time we were going to continue leasing a building we are already occupying would it not be prudent business practice to look at this lease in April, May, and June and not to look at it retroactively in October? Does that not make better sense? I am asking the attorney.

Mr. Sayovitz: Is that a legal question about what makes reasonable business sense?

Comm. Atallo: Yes. If we are currently in a lease within the last fiscal year and we anticipate that we are going to continue in that site and in that lease with that contract, wouldn’t it be prudent to address that issue in April, May, and June prior to the expiration of that contract or lease? For example, I don't know if the terms and conditions are going to be changed. We don’t know that. The contract might expire June 30 and the landlord may say, “We want it back for city use or we want higher rent. We are going to change the terms and conditions.” So we would be up the creek in terms of a site. That is of concern to me. Or the private carrier on the parking lot might say, “I am going to get more than $91,000 if I lease it to a private business enterprise, so I am going to give it to them. Your lease has expired Board of Education.” So I would think it would be prudent on the part of the school district to lock in these leases and contracts in advance so we can make our long-term plans. We could really be out of luck in terms of space for parking and space for offices if these landlords turn around and said, “You had a lease. You had a contract. It is up and we have somebody else.” I think if this happened once or twice I would not be so concerned. But it has been happening habitually where we are getting these agreements coming to us, not days after the fact, but weeks and literally months after the fact. That is not sound business practice or in my mind a sound legal practice.

Comm. Hodges: Dr. Atallo expounded on this very same point in workshop. I believe in workshop we had requested the Superintendent and the business administrator to create a system to flag these leases. So rather than drone on we have already addressed the fix for this problem a week ago. While it may be entertaining to the public it does not necessarily increase our efficiency. This problem has already been addressed and we do have a potential fix for that and we will request the administration to adhere to that suggested fix.

On roll call all members voted as follows:

Comm. Atallo: I don’t like getting things after the fact. It is happening far too often. I vote no on B-1. I vote no on B-2. That building has a serious rodent problem that needs to be addressed. It is unsafe to have staff members and parents and children go in a building with rats and that needs to be addressed because they’re still in there. I vote no on B-3. I think we should buy the property. Instead of continually renting and paying money we should buy it so we have staff parking. I abstain on B-4 and B-5 for the reasons stated. I am the Director of the Board at the YMCA. Again, on B-6 we should have had this way in advance. These contracts are not new. These should

55 10/17/07 have been addressed. In fact, there were no competitive quotes or bids. In the light of all the things going on with insurance contracts in New Jersey right now, I think it is prudent that we always err on the side of caution. So I vote no on B-6 as well.

Comm. Brown: I vote yes on B-1. I vote yes on B-2 and B-3 based on legal’s interpretation that it is legal for us to vote on this. I also vote yes on B-4, B-5, and B-6.

Comm. Hodges: Again, I don’t wish to in any way belittle the concerns of a Board member. I think the concern is a valid one. But I also think it is the responsibility of this Board to help craft solutions and not to simply just focus on the concerns. One of the places where we do that is workshop, which is where that did in fact occur. We did craft a solution and it is our responsibility to exercise the appropriate oversight going forward to make sure that solution is in fact being followed. In view of the fact that we have already discussed this at length in workshop a week ago and we have crafted the solution a week ago, I am going to say yes to B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-6. I am going to abstain on B-4 and B-5, as I am a member of the Board of Directors at the YMCA.

Comm. Kerr: My vote is yes on B-1 through B-6.

Comm. Moody: Yes.

Comm. Muhammad: Yes.

Comm. Spagnola: Yes on all with a comment that I would have felt a little more comfortable if when the Superintendent was questioned by Dr. Atallo if an answer would have come back and said to Dr. Atallo this was discussed at the workshop and there was a process and a policy in place that would redline any contracts that would come up in the future. Then I would have felt very comfortable. That did not happen. I would like to ask the Superintendent if we are in a process of putting that policy and that procedure in place for the future in regards to contracts when they are coming up for renewal and if there is going to be discussion prior to the renewal.

Dr. Glascoe: Commissioner, I saw two issues. The question to me was why was it backdated. I did not deal with what we had already covered in the workshop because I did not think it was necessary to do that. But hindsight is 20/20. I could have brought that up but I did not think that was the issue.

Comm. Spagnola: I think that would have addressed it if you did bring it up. I am sure it was on the tip of your tongue. Thank you.

Comm. Taylor: I am on the fiscal committee and at our meeting we will make sure Dr. Atallo, Mr. Kerr and myself were part of the fiscal committee meeting taking care and watching over the money and the business of the district. Even though we are flat funded we try to do our best but I am going to make sure that we do indicate to our business administrator to flag those contract renewals for us ahead of time so we can

56 10/17/07 let all of the Board know and have that listing of the ones that are flagged available to every Board member. I thank you. Yes.

Comm. Sayegh: Yes.

The motion carried.

FISCAL COMMITTEE

Comm. Kerr: Thank you Mr. President. The fiscal committee met on October 11 and the committee members present were Errol Kerr, Willa Mae Taylor and Joseph Atallo, and from staff was Ms. Finkelstein. During our first meeting with the members of the auditing firm of Lerch, Vinci & Higgins, it was agreed that they would provide periodic updates regarding developments as they work through the audit of the district before a final report is presented. Mr. Bliss and Mr. Hague honored their promise to us by showing up at our last meeting and made a presentation to us of the report that they have done to date. Speaking for the firm, Mr. Bliss stated that so far they have covered payroll, accounts receivables, and all special fund expenditure accounts and found that there are no major exceptions to report at this time. However, he said there is a $3 million imbalance in the special funds account of the district. In stating his findings, Mr. Bliss was very careful to point out after questions from Comm. Taylor, Comm. Atallo, and myself that this figure does not represent a deficit spending but rather a misapplication of certain funds to the incorrect account. He said he recognized the imbalance after a cursory look at the accounts. What was discovered was that the state and federal grant sides of the ledger were lower in comparison to the general fund side, which he reported was high. The fix on this is not a difficult task according to him. What needed to be done was a sorting out and reallocation of funds to the correct account in order to bring them back in balance. Mr. Bliss reported that purchase orders that were placed as of June 3 were valued at $1.7 million. Out of this amount $1 million is still outstanding. However, he added that this is not an unusual occurrence in districts of this size. Comm. Taylor, not satisfied, asked for a reason why this is happening and how this can be remedied. Mr. Bliss said it could be the result of the receivers not yet entered into the system or it could be an unwillingness of vendors to grant credit to the district considering its poor record of paying its bills. Ms. Finkelstein reacting to this said she would look at this in short order because she did not want to carry open purchase orders in the system for any extended period of time. Continuing his report, Mr. Bliss said there is still a lot to go through but the audit will be ready as promised in early November. Some of the accounts he mentioned that are yet to be looked at are receivables, state and federal grants, which include our Title I programs, food services, and fixed assets. Ms. Finkelstein presented to the committee Resolution C-22 for a review. This resolution was put together to address an alleged misuse of a Board EZ- Pass account for personal use. Also accompanying this resolution was a corrective action plan by the district. Speaking to this issue, Mr. Bliss said there is a certain lack of understanding on almost everyone’s part concerning what is taxable under his or her respective fringe benefit package. This, according to him, is not only common to the Paterson School District but certainly throughout the entire state. His recommendation

57 10/17/07 to us in this era of fiscal accountability is to employ the services of a tax expert whom he said would be able to inform the administration where this responsibility lies regarding tax liability linked to these fringe benefits. This discussion immediately gave life to the recommendation put forth by the fiscal committee regarding the use of district vehicles some time ago. Our recommendation then was to regularize who takes home district vehicles. Out of that recommendation came forth zero action from the administration. Now that we are in this era of fiscal accountability and also in the light of the circumstance behind Resolution C-22, the fiscal committee is once again requesting a policy be written to address the district’s shortfall in this area. We are recommending that this policy speak directly to the compliance aspect of the state and federal resolution surrounding fringe benefits taxable liabilities across the board. With the evening far spent, Comm. Atallo recommended that we submit all of our remaining questions concerning fiscal matters to Ms. Finkelstein before the Board regular meeting. With all committee members and Ms. Finkelstein in agreement adjournment was taken at 10:00 p.m.

Comm. Kerr reported that the Fiscal Committee met, reviewed, and recommends approval for Resolution Nos. C-1 through C-23:

It was moved by Comm. Kerr, seconded by Comm. Sayegh that Resolution Nos. C-1 through C-23 be adopted.

Comm. Atallo: I have several concerns. On C-1 on the bills I am looking at the state monitor’s report for the month. We just received it tonight but I had a chance to look at it. On page 3 under Roman numeral II it says, “Concerned over the cost of legal fees, the administration has entertained filling a position for an in-house attorney.” He lists three months of August of 2005, 2006, and 2007 comparative data of what the cost is for the law firm. If you look at 2007, it says $42,929. That number does not really tell us anything because we received very large numbers before that and we received very large numbers after that. I believe we received a number after that of $98,000 for legal bills for the month and this month we received a bill tonight for $87,369.43. That is for one month. We can't freeze one month in time and say, “Look at the bills in August” because you can receive a very low bill one month and get a very high bill the next month. What I would like to recommend if we are going to use comparative data in these reports is do a fiscal year and break it down month by month. I think that would give a more accurate reading and a better trend of where we are going. As I said, I am concerned on C-1 about the legal bills. I think they are very high and I think we need to have a more cost-effective way of dealing with that. My other concern on the legal bills is we have a bill here for $13,200 for fire violations. I am looking at this and this is a concern. Last spring there was a big front-page story in April about fire code violations. There was a big story on News 12 that week. In May there was a major fire at School 4 during the first week of May and there was a subsequent fire at School 18. We had the whole summer and then we had the fire and the problem over at School 15 with the alleged arson. So I am looking at this and with a school district that has a very tight budget where we say we want to prioritize our dollars and resources and expend them on education, I just think this is very sad and disappointing. We are paying $13,200 in fire violations to the city when these fire code violations should be abated. I have a problem with that and I think we should try to appeal it because the money comes out of the same pot. If we pay a fine to the city it is taxpayer money. So we should look at that and I have a concern about that as well. That is on C-1. If anybody wants to

81 10/17/07 comment on that I have the bills right here. I have a number of other bills here, which I don’t know how the Board can vote on some of these things because we only received them today so it is hard to review these things. I have a concern on C-8, a resolution for awarding a contract for instructional management system to Performance Matters for a five-year period at a cost of $622,000. We are bringing on a lot of programs. I think we should start seeing which ones we have already retained to see if they work before we continue hiring more. My question is twofold through the chair to the administration. Wasn’t there an original proposal for Performance Matters for about $1 million? How did it come down to $622,000? Are we still getting the same thing?

Comm. Kerr: On C-8?

Comm. Atallo: Yes sir.

Dr. Glascoe: We are not getting the same thing that we initially started out with. We certainly wanted to do this districtwide but we have reduced that to grades 6-12.

Comm. Atallo: And this $622,000 is not an annual fee? That is the entire amount for five years?

Dr. Glascoe: That is the same question you asked.

Comm. Atallo: I am asking for an answer.

Dr. Glascoe: But wasn’t that the same question you asked before?

Comm. Atallo: Yes, but we are at a public meeting now. If we are spending this kind of money I think the public needs to know.

Comm. Sayegh: Mr. Chairman that was a public workshop.

Comm. Atallo: Can we get an answer?

Comm. Kerr: Dr. Atallo, we went through that.

Comm. Atallo: I want to get an answer on that question.

Comm. Kerr: You may not be able to get it now.

Comm. Atallo: Why not?

Comm. Kerr: It might be information that needs to be researched.

Comm. Atallo: If you are going to approve a contract for a fixed amount of money for five years I just want a clarification. Is that $622,000 for the entire five years? Or is it $622,000 per year? It is a simple question.

82 10/17/07

Comm. Sayegh: Mr. Chairman, the answer was provided.

Comm. Kerr: We went through that in workshop and it was I believe per year.

Comm. Atallo: I would like to hear it from the Superintendent.

Comm. Kerr: But it was answered - per year.

Comm. Atallo: It is $622,000 per year?

Comm. Kerr: Yes.

Comm. Atallo: I don’t think so.

Comm. Kerr: You don’t think so? That means you had the answer then.

Comm. Atallo: No. I am saying that is not the answer. It is $622,000 per year? I am not debating with you. I would like to ask the Superintendent when we can get him to control himself and stop laughing and I can get a serious answer.

Comm. Sayegh: Mr. Chairman, the answer was provided at our workshop. Dr. Atallo is belaboring the point.

Comm. Hodges: Mr. Chairman, what is the answer?

Dr. Glascoe: The answer is it is for five years.

Comm. Atallo: It covers the whole amount?

Dr. Glascoe: Correct.

Comm. Atallo: Okay. That is all we want to know. I just want the public to know. You know and I know but it is public money so we want the public to know. That is all. My next concern is C-22. This has been a widely publicized issue but what concerns me is not the amount of money, although I would like to know exactly when they say ‘negligible amount’ what is negligible. We should get an actual dollar amount. But what concerns me is that we were handed ahead of time a corrective action approved by the Board and we have not even discussed this. If we have not discussed this, how can we have an action that is approved? It is past tense, A-P-P-R-O-V-E-D by the Board. That is not right. So I think we need to table this resolution and have a workshop or a meeting to have a discussion on the findings and recommendations in the state investigation report. Then we put together a corrective action plan and have the corrective action plan approved by the Board. We have had no discussion or commentary on it.

83 10/17/07 Comm. Kerr: Dr. Atallo, the administration presented to us at our committee meeting and we got a copy of the corrective action plan at the committee.

Comm. Atallo: We received a report. It said, “Corrective action plan approved by the Board.” They are handing us something we never even saw before. How could it have been approved by the Board? Do you follow what I am saying? Look in the second column. It says, “Finding and recommendation: Corrective action plan approved by the Board.” We were handed this on Thursday night. Nobody met to approve anything. So how can we vote to approve something we have not had any discussion on or any input on…(end of tape)

Comm. Kerr: Dr. Glascoe, do you want to speak to that?

Dr. Glascoe: Let me just make a brief comment. We have many corrective action plans to put in place. This one in particular is miniscule compared to the other things that we are doing. It was a time-sensitive thing for us to move off our plate, put the corrective action plan in place, and move forward. We can do that in a state-operated district and we are using that to move things forward and not to tie this Board up with issues or at least come across to the powers that be that we are slow to respond in putting together corrective action plans. So this was a very easy one. EZ-Pass - easy one. But we took care of this very quickly and moved on.

Comm. Atallo: With all due respect…

Dr. Glascoe: I am sorry, Dr. Atallo, Ms. Finkelstein needs to make a comment.

Ms. Finkelstein: Dr. Atallo, what you saw and what Mr. Kerr and Ms. Taylor saw at the fiscal committee meeting was a proposed corrective action plan that was put in place in an effort to move this quickly, as was directed by the office of fiscal accountability and compliance. In doing so I used the boiler plate that I had for corrective action plans and your copy may have ‘approved by the Board’ on there. But the copy that I have for the resolution was corrected to fit the model that the state gave us. It just says, ‘corrective action’ in the first column. ‘Recommendation number’ is the first column. ‘Corrective action’ is the heading for the second column. ‘Method of implementation’ is the third. ‘Individual responsible for implementation’ is the fourth. ‘Completion date of implementation’ is the final column. So it was by no means intended to usurp your responsibility but just to provide the timeliness that this department seems to insist on the district following. It was supposed to be addressed at the next Board meeting per the letter that we received. So I apologize for the haste and the mistakes that you have in your boiler plate format. But it is for your review and consideration and hopefully approval.

Comm. Atallo: I appreciate that, but with all due respect I think as elected Board members, state-operated or not, it is incumbent upon us to meet and address these issues. I think that is our responsibility. My other concern is in the document I received from the Department of Education, which everybody apparently got a copy of. It is

84 10/17/07 stamped September 22 and someone changed the date to September 25. Is there a reason for that? They handwrote over the two and put a five.

Ms. Finkelstein: It did not come into my office. I received a copy. I don't know why it said the 25, although I would imagine there is a time frame between the time it is typed at the Department of Education and the time it is received. I am not sure if it would be a couple of days or it could be more.

Comm. Atallo: The date was September 19 on the correspondence. It was stamped with the Board of Education September 22 and someone changed it from the 22nd to the 25th. That was my concern. But the reason I am raising that question is we had a workshop on October 3. If we received it on the 22nd or the 25th, there was ample time to bring this forward to the Board workshop on October 3 for discussion. That was not done and that seems to me a matter of bad governance to get it after the fact and then say we already have an approved plan for you, which we have done and have adopted. We should have received it prior to the workshop and discussed it at the workshop. Nobody is concerned about this?

Comm. Kerr: I can comment on it. I agree with you that it should have been presented. The administration got it in time and it could have been presented to us at the workshop. There are times when things should go one way and it does not go that way. We can only apologize for it. But we just have to act in the now. It is a serious error not to have brought it to us but we got it and we took care of it. So I just don't see the point. It is not germane to the moving forward of this district to discuss that EZ-Pass stuff.

Comm. Atallo: Mr. Chairman, what I think is germane quite frankly is there has been a pattern in this district and it has been apparent tonight that we are getting contracts that are implemented July 1. The insurance contracts and the leases are all being implemented July 1 and we are getting them on October 17. That is bad governance. That is not once or twice. It is happening month after month at the meetings and to get this coming before us when it was sent to us by the state in September we could have had it before the October workshop to discuss. To get it now and to say adopt the action plan that has already been given to you to approve I think that is intellectually lazy and I think it is our responsibility to address it. So there is a pattern here of not getting things in a timely manner and that is going to reflect in governance in NJQSAC. That will reflect in bad governance.

On roll call all members voted as follows:

Comm. Atallo: I vote no on C-1, C-8, and C-22. On C-23 I have two questions. You are looking to lock into a five-year contract. My question through the Chair is, are we budgeting for this?

Comm. Brown: Point of order.

Comm. Atallo: Point of order or point of clarification?

85 10/17/07

Comm. Brown: Point of order. If the roll call is for all items from C-1 to C-22 you vote them up or down. You cannot extract items unless you amend it to the main motion.

Comm. Atallo: I am talking about C-23 not C-22.

Comm. Brown: It is roll call for a vote. You can either vote it up or down. You cannot extract votes for each item. All items are represented together. If you want to extract items you have to make an amendment to the main motion of the five items that you want to extract out, bring it back to the floor for discussion, and then we vote on those five items. All 22 items are on the floor for a vote of yes or no - up or down. That is the clarification of a point of order, to correct a deficiency in a governmental process of this legislative Board.

Comm. Hodges: We are unfortunately in roll call, which does not give us the opportunity to discuss other items. However, I would like to submit a motion to handle these items individually, which would enable us to vote separately on things we don’t agree.

Comm. Brown: I second your motion.

It was moved by Comm. Hodges, seconded by Comm. Brown that the items be handled individually.

Comm. Spagnola: Discussion.

Comm. Kerr: No, we are on roll call.

Comm. Spagnola: No. We made a motion.

Comm. Brown: Excuse me. Point of clarification. A motion has been made by Dr. Hodges and seconded by Comm. Brown on extracting those five items.

Comm. Hodges: No. I want to take them on individually.

Comm. Sayegh: Wouldn’t we have to vote on that motion?

Comm. Hodges: That is the point.

Comm. Brown: Now we are going to have a discussion on that motion by me seconding it.

Comm. Atallo: Briefly on C-23 I just wanted to make…

Comm. Hodges: Dr. Atallo, the motion is to separate the individual items. It is not to discuss the individual items. It is to separate them for a vote. That is my motion.

86 10/17/07

Mr. Sayovitz: Can I clarify? That is not the case. There was a motion made to call the question. That was the first motion that was made. There is supposed to be a vote on whether to call the question, which means to cut off discussion. You should have a roll call on the motion to call the question. If that motion passes then that is it. That is the motion that is pending. You can't keep adding motions and more motions while motions are pending in the middle of roll calls.

Comm. Sayegh: Let’s continue the roll call please.

On roll call all members voted as follows to call the question:

Comm. Atallo: There is more to discuss on C-23 so I vote no. Comm. Brown: Yes. Comm. Hodges: No. Comm. Kerr: Yes. Comm. Moody: Yes. Comm. Muhammad: Yes. Comm. Spagnola: No. Comm. Taylor: Yes. Comm. Sayegh: Yes.

The motion carried.

Mr. Sayovitz: Now you vote on the motion that was originally made without further discussion.

Comm. Atallo: We are voting for?

Comm. Sayegh: C-1 through C-23.

Comm. Atallo: As I said, you are not giving me the opportunity to discuss C-23.

Comm. Sayegh: We had an opportunity.

Comm. Atallo: You cut me off.

Comm. Sayegh: There was a discussion period.

On roll call all members voted as follows on the original motion:

Comm. Atallo: You are spending a lot of money you have not budgeted for so I vote no. Comm. Brown: No. Comm. Hodges: Yes. Comm. Kerr: Yes. Comm. Moody: Yes.

87 10/17/07 Comm. Muhammad: Yes. Comm. Spagnola: No. Comm. Taylor: Yes. Comm. Sayegh: Yes.

The motion carried.

Comm. Hodges: Mr. Chairman, I offered that motion in order to give us an opportunity to vote individually on items. I am concerned by the process of being unable to vote individually because there are certain numbers that I am going to have to abstain from. If I have to include them all, I can't separate that and I will just vote no and that might be problematic. So we are going to have to look at the format of the motions that are being offered because you are putting us in an awkward position. I do not want to be forced to vote up or down on a group of items when I may have some individual concerns about items. So I suggest that we in the future adjust our format to allow for more flexibility in recording our vote.

Comm. Brown: The recommendation that I think might make this process a little bit easier is once that motion is made on the floor of all those items you make an amendment to the main motion to extract the items that you are concerned about. Then we can vote on them separately and go back to the main motion of the rest of the items.

Comm. Hodges: The problem with that is we may not have the same items that are of concern. That is why they have to be looked at individually.

Comm. Brown: That is why you would amend it at that time.

Comm. Hodges: But there are nine people up here who may have nine different items and that is cumbersome. If you uncoupled the items it would enable us to do that and to vote yea or nay on individual items.

Comm. Kerr: That is something that we can decide. Mr. President, that concludes my report.

FACILITIES COMMITTEE

Comm. Hodges: I have very brief remarks that we had a joint meeting yesterday that took place involving the Superintendent of Schools, the Mayor of the city, the City Council, and the Board of Education to discuss taking a look at our long-range facility plans and trying to marry that with the city’s master plan and trying to at long last put together a collaboration that will enable us to move forward in a collective and productive manner to help try and get schools built in this city. The meeting was a very productive one. It was reasonably well attended given the hour because it was convened at 10:00 o’clock in the morning. A lot of the Board members and City Council members took time out of their day and their work schedule to make an appearance and that was deeply appreciated. We also had in attendance Scott Weiner and Jerry

88 10/17/07 Murphy from the School Development Authority, Mr. Paella, and Mr. Ladocia from the Department of Education. Mr. Kramer was also in attendance and there were a number of parents and community members who also took the time to come and that was very heartening to see.

Comm. Hodges reported that the Facilities Committee met, reviewed, and recommends approval for Resolution No. D-1:

Resolution No. D-1

WHEREAS, the District entered into agreement with Aurora Environmental, Inc., 1102 Union Avenue, Union Beach, NJ 07735, for services related to the closure of underground storage tanks at School 18 and School 4; and

WHEREAS, tank closure and site investigation activities were completed, and required reports were forwarded to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection; and

WHEREAS, NJDEP has informed the District in a Notice of Deficiency Letter dated January 17, 2007, that additional soil analyses are required, and the District is considered to be out of compliance, and that enforcement action may result unless action is taken in a timely manner; and

WHEREAS, Aurora Environmental, Inc., has provided the Paterson Public Schools with a proposal for the additional for the additional sampling as required by NJDEP;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Paterson Public Schools accept the proposal from Aurora Environmental, dated July 16, 2007, and issue a purchase order in the amount of $5,950.00, for professional services related to the additional sampling, analyses, and reporting at School 4 and School 18.

Aurora Environmental, Inc 1102 Union Avenue Union Beach, NJ 07735 732-888-1188

It was moved by Comm. Brown, seconded by Comm. Moody that Resolution No. D-1 be adopted. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried.

POLICY COMMITTEE

Comm. Muhammad: Tonight we moved E-1 to approve bylaws 0131, 0142, 0142.1, 0147.1, 0147.1A, 0155, 0155.1, and policy 1210. All of these are on the table to my right.

89 10/17/07 Comm. Muhammad reported that the Policy Committee met, reviewed, and recommends approval for Resolution No. E-1:

Resolution No. E-1

WHEREAS, the Paterson Board of Education Policy Manual receives periodic revisions and additions; and

WHEREAS, the Policy Committee submitted bylaws and policy to the Board for first reading on September 19, 2007; and

WHEREAS, a special public comment session was held at the October 3, 2007 workshop meeting; now therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Education approves the following bylaws and policy for second reading and adoption:

0131 Bylaws and Policies 0142 Board Member Qualifications, Prohibited Acts and Code of Ethics (M) 0142.1 Nepotism (M) 0147.1 Board Member Compensation and Expenses (M) 0147.1A Board Member Compensation and Expenses (M) 0155 Board Committees 0155.1 Board Committees-Specifics 1210 Board-Superintendent Communications

and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that in the event any policy, part of a policy or section of the bylaws is judged to be inconsistent with law or inoperative by a court of competent jurisdiction or is invalidated by a policy or contract duly adopted by the State District Superintendent or Board of Education, the remaining bylaws, policies, and parts of policies shall remain in full effect.

It was moved by Comm. Brown, seconded by Comm. Sayegh that Resolution No. E-1 be adopted.

Comm. Hodges: In addition to these, a while ago we submitted some additional policy recommendations to the administration concerning a compendium of programs and grammar. I am going to assume at this point that since I have not seen them again that the Superintendent wants us to submit them again at the next workshop for early and immediate passage, unless I hear to the contrary.

Comm. Sayegh: Are you directing that through the Chair to the Superintendent?

90 10/17/07 Comm. Hodges: I am just commenting in general that if I don’t hear anything that will be my assumption and that is exactly what I will do.

Comm. Sayegh: Comm. Muhammad, I just want to take this time out to commend you and your colleagues on your tireless work. This is the primary purpose of our being here and I would like an update as to how far we are along in the process with all the policies. I believe there were over 90 policies that you were charged with. Where are we? Can we update the community and Board members as to the status?

Comm. Moody: Point of order. Isn’t there a motion on the floor?

Comm. Sayegh: It is discussion, sir.

Comm. Moody: Let’s call this question.

Comm. Atallo: Al, are you calling the question?

Comm. Muhammad: Thank you Comm. Sayegh. To date, I believe we are at 69 that we have now put forward to the Superintendent awaiting his review. We are left with about 17 more so we are really on target and I truly thank Comm. Taylor and Dr. Hodges for their tireless efforts in making sure that we stay on point. We have been reading our brains out but we are doing what we need to do. To all of the other chairpersons that took part in helping us to move these policies forward, I truly thank you and we are going to continue and get this done as soon as possible.

Comm. Taylor: I would just like to say that Dr. Glascoe reviewed the ones that are on the table for approval now. But we worked so hard and so long from all of June, July, August, and September and now in October and we produced 69 to him, but there is only one of him. It took us a long time to read through those and to review them and to go through the ones that are mandated and some of our own that the district had made to review. I know that it is going to take him a little while but I am going to give him a timeline.

Comm. Muhammad: I’ll second that.

Comm. Taylor: The next Board meeting? The next Board meeting, not the workshop.

Comm. Sayegh: Workshop.

Comm. Taylor: Workshop? That will be good because we will have the other 17 for you.

Dr. Glascoe: If it were left up to me I would have had them ready for you tonight. But the staff reads so slowly and I am waiting for them to finish.

Comm. Sayegh: For the record, the next Board workshop is Wednesday, November 7.

91 10/17/07

Comm. Brown: I just wanted to put my two cents in. I just wanted to briefly comment on the tremendous work that Comm. Muhammad has done as a new Board member. I am speaking humbly from the position of a master Board member. I have never seen a Board member come on the Board and be able to pick up the ball and run with it, especially with the challenging committee like the policy committee. She has already begun an aggressive training on the School Board. She is very tenacious about the work and very sincere about the work she is doing here, especially on the policy committee. I am very proud of her. She is going to be doing some exciting things here on the Board in the future and I just want to say thank you very much.

Comm. Muhammad: Thank you Comm. Brown. I am honored but I was forced to do all of this hard work.

Comm. Hodges: Everybody is congratulating you but they don’t really know how you threaten people. They don’t know the things that you actually do. They are completely unaware of the abuse that is rained down upon us, me in particular, regarding these policies. And I want the public to be aware. You all think we don’t do anything and that this is all easy. You are not being forced to get threatening phone calls from Comm. Muhammad to drag you out of your house to come down and spend hours on these policies week after week after week for no pay, as Comm. Brown pointed out. I do want to commend her but I do want to announce publicly that I have changed my number as of today.

Comm. Moody: It sounds like you all should get a life.

Comm. Hodges: Exactly. Talk to her.

Comm. Kerr: Are these up for discussion right now?

Comm. Muhammad: No.

Comm. Kerr: They are not?

On roll call all members voted in the affirmative to call the question. The motion carried.

Mr. Sayovitz: Again, I just want to explain that you just passed a resolution to call the question. Now you vote on the resolution that was pending.

On roll call all members voted in the affirmative on the original motion. The motion carried.

OTHER BUSINESS

Board Member Comments

Comm. Sayegh: At this time we will go to Other Business pertaining to Board comments. Be mindful as a matter of fairness of what we are asking the public and you had an opportunity to speak after they spoke. We are going to hold ourselves accountable and to the same standards. Each Board member will have three minutes. We will start with Comm. Atallo.

Comm. Atallo: I think Comm. Muhammad wanted to speak. It makes no difference to me.

Comm. Sayegh: We will start to my left, Comm. Atallo.

Comm. Atallo: Let me just say this to the television audience. Today is Wednesday, October 17, 2007. Yesterday, Tuesday, October 16, my phone was ringing off the hook

145 10/17/07 from parents who were very upset. I got calls from various people in the media who wanted to know what was going on at John F. Kennedy High School. I had no idea what was going on at John F. Kennedy High School so I had to make inquires. I was getting different stories that the students walked out, that they were protesting the schedule, that there was an alleged bomb scare, and that there was an evacuation. I think this segues into the committee. We need to have a policy to have the Superintendent’s office contact the Board members. It looks foolish and Board members are embarrassed when we tell people we don’t know what is going on. We are not down there and we don’t know what is going on and people think we do. While it is true we are a state-operated district, we are still elected officials and we should be accorded some kind of respect. The nine of us were elected by this committee for community oversight and we should be given a call. When I see a headline like “Students Stage Protest –John F. Kennedy Evacuated After Fire Alarm is Pulled,” as a front page story in the Herald News and everybody is talking about it all over the city and Board members are not informed, I think that is wrong. I would just like to ask the Superintendent through the Chair, what is your policy in terms of when you contact Board members? I know when you were closing the schools for the fire code violations we did get a call from your staff and we got almost hourly updates. That is really appreciated because as you know people call us up thinking that we have information to give them in the community and we only know what you tell us. So while we appreciated that particular crisis situation, this was a situation where many parents were very upset. So, through the Chair, I would like to ask the Superintendent, what is your policy? Do we need to adopt a policy where we can get a phone call saying, “By the way, there was a problem at John F. Kennedy High School and here is what happened.” That is my question. Can we get a response?

Dr. Glascoe: Our office informs the Board President and Vice-President.

Comm. Atallo: Can we amend that policy since the President and Vice-President don’t appear to be calling me on these things? Can we amend that policy that you can get one of your staff members to call? It is only nine of us.

Dr. Glascoe: It is not a policy. It is a practice.

Comm. Atallo: Could we amend that practice since it is not 900 of us. It is nine of us so can we get a call or a briefing as to what is going on? Does that sound fair and reasonable?

Dr. Glascoe: It is unreasonable for us at this time.

Comm. Atallo: What?

Dr. Glascoe: It is unreasonable for us to do that at this time.

Comm. Atallo: You can't get someone on the staff to call?

146 10/17/07 Dr. Glascoe: Staff is generally busy with the work of running the school district and if we have a crisis more than likely everyone is involved with that and we make the phone calls to the Board President and the Vice-President. Generally we give them a heads up as to whether something is occurring in the district and we then generally get back to them with a full report, as well as reporting to the County Superintendent.

Comm. Atallo: I think the other Board members would feel it would be reasonable. There are seven other Board members and it takes seven minutes to get someone on the staff to make a call. I think that practice needs to be addressed.

Comm. Sayegh: Comm. Atallo, your three minutes are up. The Vice-President and I will make sure that all Board members are notified.

Comm. Atallo: Before we end this, do I get an assurance that I am going to get a phone call?

Comm. Sayegh: You get an assurance from the President and the Vice-President that you will receive a phone call when we receive a phone call from the administration.

Comm. Atallo: I think that is wrong.

Comm. Brown: I first want to start out by also congratulating Comm. Kerr on the hard work he has been doing as a new Board member, not to leave out Comm. Kerr because he has been working very diligently. We have gone to training together in addition to the work on the fiscal committee that he has done. I am very concerned and I want to apologize to all the children and the parents for the inconvenience that the arrogance of the City of Paterson put our parents and children through by closing down all the schools. There are parents who had to take off work to stay with their children and to that end I apologize to all of those individuals, parents and children who were inconvenienced for whatever political motives he has. He never did it when Dr. Duroy was here and I am the one who investigated the fire code violations along with Dr. Hodges and exposed all the violations and brought them to the attention of Dr. Duroy. Dr. Hodges and myself are the ones who closed down Montclair Academy, not Joey Torres. Dr. Hodges and I were the ones who recommended the termination of Jim Cummings and all of a sudden now the Mayor has a revelation for public safety. Yet, he cut our recreation program for children by two weeks. So I want the public to look at the reality of the truth and not the reality of perception of politics. It is a shame that the chief executive of this city wants to play politics because Dr. Glascoe doesn’t. Also, I want to briefly comment that we have an election coming up on November 6 and I want us to be very mindful of the actions that our legislators have taken in the past, especially in December 2005 when Assemblywoman Nellie Pou came down here and threatened Dr. Glascoe with his job. That is the origin of this political game that is going on. So reflect back to December 2005 when she unethically and inappropriately came down here and threatened the State District Superintendent with his job publicly. That is where this political game began. In addition, I was very surprised that over last weekend I happened to be reviewing her voting record over the past couple of years and it is ironic

147 10/17/07 that 99.9% of her votes are yes. One bill stuck out in my mind. She co-sponsored a bill to introduce non-violence curriculum into the schools in the State of New Jersey and I wanted to commend her for that thought. However, she did not vote for it.

Comm. Hodges: My frustration, particularly with this three-minute nonsense, is that we spent earlier twelve minutes talking about a corrective action plan for EZ-Pass. We spent I don’t know how much time rehashing the late date of ongoing leases. The SRA process is the way we graduate 50% of our students. That is going to be phased out by the State of New Jersey. We are not talking about things like that. The guidance counseling in this district is woeful. We don’t reach out to and establish relationships with schools. We don’t encourage students to go to high-performing schools. We don’t expose children to colleges. We had the first college fair in decades that was sponsored by the guidance department recently. These are some of the issues we need to be spending a lot more time on. How will we monitor the implementation of the curriculum? Those are things we should be discussing. Those are the things that should take up our time. To limit us to three minutes when we are trying to get all this stuff in and we are trying to discuss these critical issues that affect our children is to me very difficult to put up with. This is why I came here. I came here to make sure we did not have 50% of our kids using the SRA process. I came here to make sure there were changes in our guidance department so they gave students collective applications and so they would expose children to colleges, not just as seniors but in seventh and eighth grade before they got to high school so they had goals they could set and help guide them as they work their way through school. None of that is happening and we are not talking about those things. It is easy to sit here and rehash this garbage as opposed to spending time on the issues that really affect children, such as curriculum, instruction, test scores, the guidance department, and absence of our finance piece in terms of our curriculum. These are some of the things we need to talk about. We can sit here and poke needles into Dr. Glascoe all day long but none of those actions are going to help us improve in these areas. Somehow we have got to create a forum where intelligent discussion is focused on issues like this as opposed to chopping us into three minutes so we can discuss things that are really of the most substance in this district.

Comm. Sayegh: Thank you Comm. Hodges. You raise many salient points and we will discuss that at a later date.

Comm. Hodges: I usually do, sir.

Comm. Sayegh: Thank you. No one is disputing that.

Comm. Kerr: I think Dr. Hodges just said a mouthful and I would like to ditto most of what he has just said. I do not want to beat a dead horse but this nepotism question is really bothering me with the way the policy is written here. I have been communicating with the state monitor concerning this. I did ask him for a definition from the state as to how this is framed within the law but I am not quite satisfied with what I am seeing. I would just like to recommend although it is a mandated policy that I believe we need to spend a little bit more time and look at how if this policy is adopted it will affect the rank

148 10/17/07 and file of our school district. My understanding of this policy is that if you are an administrator such as an officer, a School Board member, or a principal, none of your relatives, no matter how qualified they are, are allowed to be employed in the district. It did not say in the administration. It said in the district. So I still need some clarity because his policy is not clear in my mind. I really am not a legal scholar. The only time I messed with the law is when I was in college and I did a couple of courses in business law. But I can understand that this is going to cause us great problems and I just think we need to look at it a little more. I just want to congratulate the administration, the faculty, and all those who worked very hard in his district to return the kinds of results that we are getting. In Cycle II we have seen some improvement and we just want to say congratulations to the staff and everybody, teachers and parents and all those kids who worked very hard to improve their work.

Comm. Sayegh: Thank you Comm. Kerr. You ended on a very positive note.

Comm. Taylor: Yes, because I am going to end on negative. While I was president of the Board in 2006 we had to develop the fiscal accountability compliance piece and we had to send in a corrective action plan. We received it back and the response from the Department of Education and this was for 2004 and 2005. That is when they were checking that, the fiscal audit of No Child Left Behind Title I grant. The office of fiscal accountability and compliance reviewed the corrective action plan and they determined they are acceptable as submitted. It will go to the county office and if we have any questions there is a number. I would like to say thank you to Rosa Parks High School. I am going to recommend them for their services to the community and to education excellence to the AARP. Tomorrow night the Academy for Performing Arts on Smith Street will have a community forum. Parents, friends, and businesspeople are asked to come at 6:00 p.m. On Monday, October 22 John F. Kennedy High School at 6:00 to 8:00 will have a collaboration meeting with the Paterson Leadership Alliance Community Advisory Committee and Multi-Ethnic Task Force. Ms. Patterson, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, and Ms. Deidre Simon, Assistant Superintendent from Group I, will be the presenters. We will be breaking out in that. I know I have a notice to go to a meeting on Board ethics at the Board of Education level. There is one on how we should treat each other and I am just appalled over the last four years that I have to sit in a meeting and listen to people call each other names and call each other all kinds of names out of character. Recently, some of us were called at a meeting bobbleheads. That is to me a racial connotation that means that either it is Latino or Black, when Black women move their head back and forth. That is an insult to me when you talk about that in a context of a Board meeting or a workshop. I am insulted. Also, when you call somebody a joke and when you say to them that they have a little power and so you are a joke. I don’t like that and they tell me all the time “You have been advised.” That is a threat, Dr. Atallo, and I don’t like it. Stop it.

Comm. Moody: A couple of months ago I suggested that we develop a code of conduct for our students. I am going to raise that again. The behavior of our children leaves a lot of area for growth. As we move through the district the behavior of many of our students is out of order and we need to address that.

149 10/17/07

Comm. Spagnola: It has been abnormally warm during the past couple of weeks in school and it is causing a bit of a problem. I agree with Al in regards to the children. I think we have to reach out to the parents and advise them that they have to sit them down and talk to them and tell them school is to learn. If you want to go out there and cause problems, it is not the street. Once you go in these walls everybody has to be responsible for their actions. That is a major point that has to be brought out. Everybody in this building is responsible and accountable. We had a meeting yesterday. It was a joint meeting between the Council, the Board of Education and the people from Trenton that control the money. The people from Trenton were honest and they came right out and said they don’t have any money to give us. We are going to have to work with what we have. But they did say that in the near future there is going to be some money available. So we are going to have to get together and make sure we are going to be ready to accept that money if in fact it does become available. We spoke about the master plan. You have to understand one thing. We had a five-year projecting building plan. We did it totally unaware that there was in fact a master plan. I don’t think they even had a master plan in place when we started our five-year projection. It would have been advisable for them to come to us while they were working on the master plan and say what do you have to give to us as an ingredient to put into the master plan because of all our projections, our situations, and especially where we are going to have to build schools because of the projected children. That was not done. But lo and behold, we can't really address that but we did find out one thing. In the master plan two areas have been designated and six of the schools that we need to build are in these areas. There are a lot of empty lots out there and hopefully we will have the land ready. And we can tell the state we have the land, we have the location, we have done our homework, and all we need right now is the money. This is all done. The land is the biggest problem in the urban area because you don’t have that much area, especially in Paterson. But that is the most expensive. We have the land. All we need is the money and we definitely have the children.

Comm. Muhammad: Comm. Moody, the code of conduct is on its way. It did go out in the mail so you will be getting that so we can move that and I thank you for that. I really and truly agree fully with Dr. Hodges and Comm. Taylor in regards to the public and our treatment of them. But I am going to tell you, respect goes both ways. When parents stand in this auditorium and fully engage themselves in a conversation while we are conducting business here it totally disrespects this Board of Education. It says to me that what I am trying to do for your children is not even important to you. So when you want respect remember, as far as I am concerned, you are going to have to give it. The other thing I want to say to Dr. Atallo is that the meeting we had yesterday was fully publicized. Not only was it publicized, there was a public portion. So I don't know why he did not know about that meeting. But there was no way that we were trying to keep anyone from attending that meeting.

Comm. Sayegh: I am very encouraged by the work that the policy committee has done. In fact, we have 17 left. Let us obviously finish with a flourish. You have done commendable work hitherto and I expect the same going forward. So, Dr. Glascoe, get

150 10/17/07 your reading glasses ready because by November 7 we want to be able to present all these policies. And let us look at the big picture, ladies and gentlemen. We develop these policies. We adopt these policies. The NJQSAC governance section will improve our score. We will gain points and we will move closer to the ultimate goal. So I want to thank you for your hard work. And yes, they can be amended as well. I want to thank you for your hard work and exhort you to continue in the direction that you are moving. At this time, I would like to have a motion to go into executive session to discuss prior executive session meeting minutes and a legal matter regarding Board member conduct.

Comm. Hodges: Can we expand that motion to include negotiations? The Board has not understood what its role is in terms of a negotiating team or gathering our concerns that we would like to see placed in the contract and I think that is long overdue.

Comm. Sayegh: We can. The motion is to go into executive session.

It was moved by Comm. Hodges, seconded by Comm. Muhammad that the Board go into executive session. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:02 p.m.
