Mr. Brisman responded that negotiation committee meetings have been taking place for several months. This is a large district with many different positions covered in the EAP union; and negotiations may take a while. The board is working collectively and hopes to arrive at a settlement.
Leslie Mink – (School No.11 Teacher)
Ms. Mink discussed the safety of staff members and students at school 11, stating she was threatened by a student in the classroom. Ms. Mink felt the punishment, afterschool detention, was insufficient.
Ms. Mink also discussed an incident wherein a weapon was brought to school by a student, hidden in his backpack. Ms. Mink asked what obligation does the district have to inform staff members or parents that a weapon was brought to school.
Mr. Muñoz said he would follow up in the morning with his staff and the principal to review how the incident was handled. Matters regarding weapons are governed by State laws and rules that need to be complied with and the district has SROs on site who would have been involved and taken a report. The Police would handle the situation from the criminal prospective and the district would handle the student issue.
Mr. Rosario said the district has a discipline policy in place which may need to be reviewed on the protocols of informing teachers if weapons are found. The district works with the Police Department and situations are handled appropriately. The district does not want to create chaos each time something happens.
Mr. Brisman said there is nothing that he was aware of, in policy, regarding informing the school community of such incidents. Mr. Brisman said that incidents occur every day in a large district and the administration will have to look into informing the teachers.
Mr. Carrera said that the consequences that students face for certain actions may also need to be reviewed.
Sugundia Lewis, 227 Summer Street (Paraprofessional)
Ms. Lewis stated that several Board Members are not responding/reacting to the public concerns.

She stated that there are many complaints regarding the behavior of older students, now placed in schools with younger students, and shared that educators cannot teach if they are not supported by the administration.
Ms. Holcombe also spoke about students not receiving appropriate resources due to the lack of substitutes and the need to use in class support teachers and resource teachers as substitutes. Ms. Holcombe said many teachers are calling out sick or taking medical leaves due to stress and there are insufficient substitutes.

H. Report of the Superintendent:
Mr. Muñoz shared the accomplishments and activities held at the following schools:
School No. 3: Students in grades K through 5 at School No. 3 have been enhancing their math skills through the use of Dreambox. This adaptive software provides students with challenging math problems as they move through levels of difficulty, and allows students to have more practice with a variety of grade level concepts. In grade 2, future geologists have been studying different types of rocks, learning about the formation and density of the objects. Students in the grade 3 have designed electric circuits using D-cell batteries, showing their understanding of the principles associated with electricity. In grades 6 through 8, our students have chosen their student government representatives, and are now campaigning for executive positions. Finally, we had six students from Mario Drago School No. 3 attend the Lions Club holiday event.
School No. 8: School No. 8 will host a holiday concert on Tuesday, December 18, at 9:30 am. The concert will feature grades K through 4. Students will sing and share customs from their own homes and cultures. Pre-K students are working in language arts on their family unit, applying literacy skills to the exploration of what makes up a family, and what a family does. This month sixth grade students designed and constructed catapults. They tested and improved on their design in order to compete against other teams to see who used the least amount of materials and still had the most effective design. Students then used their math skills to graph results.
School No. 11: School band performed for parents and students during Report Card Night. The band displayed their talents by performing several holiday songs that showcased their practice and learning. Students in grade 3 have been working on the concept of elapsed time. By creating stories about time that has passed, our grade 3 students have produced complex narratives that deal with the advanced concept of elapsed time.
Passaic High School: On December 1, 2018, the Passaic High School ROTC won 1st place for New Cadet Squad at the Manchester High School Drill Meet. They also brought home 1st place for Knockout and 2nd place for Varsity Color Guard. The ROTC also helped Santa make the holidays a little brighter for our smaller citizens at the Passaic City Hall Santa in the Courtyard event. The PHS Varsity Cheerleaders won first place at the Fair Lawn High School competition. On December 15, 2018, the PHS Cheerleaders did it again, winning first place at West Orange High School’s Impact Cheer Challenge. The PHS school choir sang at the Passaic City Carnie Bragg Christmas Tree lighting on December 5, 2018.
7 Regular Public Meeting Minutes December 17, 2018 Page 12 of 70
School No. 15: Students at Vincent Capuana School No. 15 and Junot Diaz School No. 15 Annex participated in the Hour of Coding challenge presented by the Division of Technology last week. Students and teachers did pre-coding activities that involved aspects map making, spatial awareness, and 21st century skills. Some rooms used a "Code-a-pillar", some used "Hexbugs" and some used classroom made materials to build mazes or develop paths on a map. The children used directional language, problem solving, and new ways of thinking by breaking up big problems into smaller steps, demonstrating that students of all ages can code.
School No. 19: Daniel F. Ryan School No. 19 students and staff members had the opportunity to experience an exciting day when executives and talent from Univision visited on November 30, 2018. The guests from Univision read to students, participated in lessons, and shared the skills and education that are needed to work for a national media company.
School No. 20: Students in the academic strand at PGTA now have an opportunity to enroll in the Cambridge University based elective course, Child Development. In this class, students explore the basics of prenatal care, infant and toddler health, and strategies for teaching and interacting with preschool-aged children. Students currently taking this class aspire to become teachers, counselors, or pediatricians. On December 14, 2018, students from this elective visited School No. 16 to work with the children while utilizing an Alphabet Box project. The goal of the project was to create a box filled with items associated with one letter of the alphabet. Students also developed activities that supported the materials used in the boxes. PGTA students engaged with the Pre-K students in small group and 1:1 instruction. All students successfully used their projects to lead instruction, practice conversation skills with the young students, practice color and shape recognition, and contribute to the dynamic preschool environment established within School 16. This was an enriching experience for all students involved.
Passaic Preparatory Academy: On December 7, 8, and 9, Passaic Preparatory Academy held its Inaugural Stage Play, The Outsiders.
Passaic Academy for Science and Engineering: The Biotechnology and Biomedical Science Advisory Board met last week as part of our effort to connect students with industry partners and higher education staff. The connections we form through advisory boards also allows for input on the future development of our program. The Passaic Academy for Science and Engineering is excited about offering their first Hackathon, and second Engineering Challenge, this Friday December 21. These challenges allow for our students to work with and complete against students from other schools as they test their abilities in a series of challenges.
Mr. Muñoz concluded his report by acknowledging the district’s amazing 2018 year and thanked the Board of Education and the entire staff for all their hard work this past school year in creating the K-8 neighborhood schools, opening two new academies, and adding School No. 8 Annex.
