PUBLIC COMMENTS AS PER BOARD BYLAW 0167 ​ The following public comments were made: Matthew Pless, a resident of 6 Palmer Circle said that the kids of Recreation are getting less and less time at the Middle school gyms. He said the Primary and Elementary gyms are not what the Middle school gyms are. They did get a couple of days back this year, but it’s worse 3 than last year. It puts the team at a loss for travel basketball and the kids are being shorted. for non residents. He also mentioned a weekend when they weren’t allowed to walk in the front door or allowed to walk in the hallways. He said the bathrooms were locked and they couldn’t use them. He spoke of the basketball tournament at the end of October and suggested not booking the MPAC between December through March and also only booking people who don’t need a gym? He said that when the Millstone play was going on kids (rec basketball) were allowed to run all over the place. Andrew, the Township recreation coordinator said he made an agreement to get one gym back to schedule if the organization entered through the back doors as the play and playoffs in February are the same day and Recreation does have the gyms. He said that he and Mr. Pless disagree and the objective is to try and find compromise to have the gyms 6p-10p. He also spoke fo coming to the Recreation department first rather that approaching the Board of Education. Mr. DePinho spoke of the history and rental money. He also spoke of the policy that the use of the gyms should be for the people of the town. Beth Cotler, a resident of 1 Rue Court, spoke of the money donated by the PTO/PTA for the scoreboards. Ramon Recalde, a resident of 45 Robbins Road South spoke of knowing not to talk directly to a Board member, only a Board member with respect. He stated “n behalf of everyone because he spoke to a lot of people in town, that they thank Dr. Jacobson for putting up with bullying and the passivness of the people in the room. Beth Cotler spoke of communicating between organizations and thanked Dr. Jacobson for her service. Dave, a resident of 4 Pittenger Court spoke of transparency and asked what the upcharge is for the use of the gym. He said maybe we can then work with the dance companies. Matt Pless asked if he could get the figures. John Couchard, a resident of 13 Lyle Farm Lane asked about the dances and are they just Saturday’s. Dr. Huss said they are Friday through Sunday. Ted Phyliss, a resident of 48 Brookside asked if recreation could use other areas of the schools so that the Township kids can use the gyms. Matthew Pless said that for the number of companies that use the gyms, we should be able to say no to them. 4 Mr. Recalde said he had an idea that perhaps one gym can be devoted to sports. Dr. Huss replied that what one of the compromises was. Mr. Phyliss asked are the areas they use available on all weekends. Dr. Huss said new MPAC contracts would not allow the use of both gyms at the same time. Beth Cotler asked if we can meet in June to set a calendar. Mr. Pless asked if there is a period when no one uses the gyms. Dr. Huss replied February and June are the busiest. VI. PERSONNEL Mrs. Riviello moved the following: A.

The Woodrow Wilson HistoryQuest Fellowship was developed to provide middle and high school social studies teachers with a professional development program focused on game-based pedagogy. Developed in partnership with the Institute of Play, the HistoryQuest Fellowship uses the power of games, play, and digital tools to transform both teacher practice and student engagement. “The teachers who have been selected as the 2016 WW HistoryQuest Fellows are a creative and dedicated group,” said Stephanie J. Hull, executive vice president and chief operating officer at the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. “Some of them are just starting out, others are veteran teachers—but all of them have been selected because they’re committed to innovative teaching strategies, to making history lively and relevant for young people. These are educators who can lead the way in new kinds of game-based learning for history and civics.” The 70 Fellows currently teach in 37 school districts and four public charter schools across New Jersey, including East Orange, Jersey City, New Brunswick, Paterson, Princeton, and Trenton.

INNOVATIVE SCHEDULING by Brian J.

Barg Innovative Scheduling 2003 Dr. Theodore Johnson School Administration The purpose of this study was to develop an academic schedule that was well- thought, thorough, consistent, and beneficial to students' academic achievement. The use of a block scheduling formula for the high school meant providing students and teachers with an opportunity to innovatively and creatively interact in the learning process, while using time-on-task in an efficient manner. Utilizing an innovative schedule determined how teachers used pedagogy to improve academic performance. Innovative scheduling made a contribution to scholarly research, scholarly work, student interest, and cooperative learning. The intern reviewed research regarding the advantages of block scheduling. In order to gather input regarding innovative scheduling, the intern sent memos to local administrators and distributed surveys to approximately 120 students and 120 faculty members of Pennsauken High School.
