Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education Announces New Turf Fields for Parsippany High School and Parsippany Hills High School The Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education announced plans for new synthetic turf fields to be installed at Parsippany High and Parsippany Hills High Schools, a move that will have an immediate, positive impact on the district’s students, sports teams, and community. New Home of the Redhawks – Parsippany High School New Home of the Vikings – Parsippany Hills High School Turf Fields FAQs 1. How did we get here? For over 20 years, the Board of Education and community leaders have tried to find ways to improve the unsatisfactory conditions at the main athletic complexes at both high schools. In October 2012, the Board of Education asked the community to approve a tax increase for field improvements with a 7.7 million dollar Referendum which was defeated by 628 votes (1745 to 2372). As a result of the outcome of the referendum an AdHoc Committee was formed comprised of, community members, Board members, and administrators, which looked into funding the project through door-to-door donations, which did not seem feasible. 2. What is Being Proposed? The goal of the Board of Education was to fund this project to bring the needed improvements to the fields without additional community tax dollars or reducing money to students/classrooms. The Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education has approved a $2,533,000 million project for athletic field improvements. The projected cost for the fields’ project is $2,268,000, which has been budgeted in the 2015- 2016 capital outlay budget. In addition, the installation of new lights at PHHS and replacement of the current lights at PHS is projected to cost between $600,000 to $700,000 and will be paid for through the Energy Savings Improvement Project initiative being conducted throughout the district. The projected costs were developed by the district’s architect. The funding for this project does not cut any programs or services to students. These savings came from last year’s existing and budgeted accounts and from energy grants. Item Parsippany High School Parsippany Hills High School Turf Field Construction $915,000.00 $900,000.00 Track Resurface $265,000.00 N/A Project Cost $228,000.00 $225,000.00 Total Cost $1,408,000.00 $1,125,000.00 Lighting $300,000.00 $320,000.00 Lighting to be included in ESIP 3. What is ESIP? (Energy Savings Improvement Program) A portion of the Parsippany Troy-Hills RFP for the Energy Savings Improvement Program included Lighting Upgrades for all of the district’s facilities, including the athletic fields. The contract was awarded to Honeywell by way of a Board of Education resolution on November 14th, 2014. Honeywell has confirmed that the replacement of the athletic field lighting at the Parsippany High School and the additional lighting at the Parsippany Hills High School is within the scope of this project and therefore allowable expenses. The Energy Saving Plan for the district includes engineering, construction, and project management and the total cost of the services will be paid for out of the energy savings that the district will accrue. 4. What is the Scope of the Project? The scope of the project will be to replace the grass fields at Parsippany High School and Parsippany Hills High School with new permanent turf fields, replace the lights at the Parsippany High School field and install new lights at the Parsippany Hills High School field, and re-surface the existing track at Parsippany High School with the anticipated schedule below: 5. What is the Annual Budget Savings Associated with the New Turf Fields? The annual projected savings is $110,000 and is achieved through the elimination of the current grass field maintenance program (seeding, water, labor, chemicals, lining, etc.) and the significant reduction in off-site busing costs associated with transporting students to town owned turf fields because the high school fields are not fit for use. 6. How long will the fields last? Artificial turf surfaces typically last between 8-12 years. Replacement of artificial turf involves removing the turf layer and replacing it with a new turf layer. This would cost in the range of $300,000 - $400,000 per field. Given the projected savings from the elimination of the current for maintenance and off-site bussing, even with replacement costs factored in, artificial turf remains far cheaper, and thus sensible for the long-term. 7. Facility Use of Fields - The Board of Education believes that community-based activities make an important contribution to a child’s education and we encourage the responsible use of our facilities by Parsippany residents. The Board of Education will have 100% control over who uses the fields, what times, etc. by application through the district’s comprehensive Use of Facilities Policy and Regulation 7510. A community meeting will be held with a sub-committee of the Board of Education to discuss local community concerns. http://www.pthsd.k12.nj.us/facilityuse.html Current and Proposed Use of the New Fields The current field conditions at both high schools are not up to safety and NJSIAA standards. Unsatisfactory field and track conditions have impacted play during competitions, have resulted in opposing team refusal to play and do not permit high schools to hold NJSIAA state track competitions. Currently the main athletic fields are limited to football games only (15 per year for freshman, JV and Varsity) and very limited band and football practice. The fields are not available for physical education classes, boys and girls soccer, field hockey, cheerleading, baseball, softball, track and many other activities. The fields sit idle for most the calendar year. The two biggest benefits to installing the new turf fields are the dramatic increase in the utilization and the play hours available and the consistent, safe playing surface provide for our students and the community. Once turfed, these fields can be open for play year round. Students can play on it during and immediately after rainy weather. Physical education classes will benefit as well as numerous boys and girls sports, including band, cheerleading, soccer, football, lacrosse will have playing time on the new fields. etc. The Board of Education will continue to have 100% control to access and use of the facility. When not in use for school programs, the fields will be available for community use based on the Board of Education policies. We anticipate use by the town’s youth programs. 8. Lighting – The modern lighting systems have a zero backlight impact on the neighbors and will actually improve the current backlighting conditions at Parsippany High School. The proposed field lighting will be a modern more efficient lighting. The existing lighting at Parsippany High School is sport lighting on wood poles with poor shielding. The new lights are being supplied with the maximum shielding to minimize lighting spill over to the maximum extent possible. Our engineers and architects have tremendous experience in this area and have demonstrated to the Board and the local residents the benefits of installing of these modern zero backlight fixtures. 9. School Safety and Security – The Board of Education strives to ensure a safe and secure environment to all persons including students, staff, and visitors, who lawfully enter upon our District property. There has been much public debate raised concerning the use of synthetic turf. We have discussed these concerns with our engineers and architect and have reviewed major research studies conducted by state and federal agencies. Major research studies conclude the use of artificial turf fields is not associated with elevated health risks addressing inhalation, ingestion, dermal exposure, and cancer and, that there has been no observed major differences in overall injury rates between natural fields and turf fields. 10. How will the installation of the synthetic fields at the High School affect water run-off? The plan is to design the field(s) so that the peak rate of runoff does not increase after the field is installed. The fields have been designed with subsurface storm water detention systems which will retain and slowly release storm water from the property. This will account for an overall reduction in the rate of storm water runoff from the site. What types of fields do schools in the Northwest New Jersey Athletic Conference have?

    State of New Jersey 2014-15 41-1870-050 OVERVIEW HACKETTSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL WARREN 701 WARREN STREET GRADE SPAN 09-12 HACKETTSTOWN HACKETTSTOWN, NJ 07840 1.00 The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to present these annual reports of School Performance. These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers. In particular, the School Performance Reports seek to: Focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness. Benchmark a school's performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students, against statewide outcomes, and against state targets to illuminate and build upon a school's strengths and identify areas for improvement. Improve educational outcomes for students by providing both longitudinal and growth data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school's efforts to engage in continuous improvement. While the New Jersey School Performance Reports seek to bring more information to educators and stakeholders about the performance of schools, they do not seek to distill the performance of schools into a single metric, a single score, or a simplified conclusion. Instead, the intention is that educators and stakeholders will engage in deep, lengthy conversations about the full range of the data presented As educators know well, measuring school performance is both an art and a science. While the School Performance Report brings attention to important student outcomes, NJDOE does not collect data about other essential elements of a school, such as the provision of opportunities to participate and excel in extracurricular activities; the development of non-cognitive skills like time management and perseverance; the pervasiveness of a positive school culture or climate; or the attainment of other employability and technical skills, as many of these data are beyond both the capacity and resources of schools to measure and collect well.

    St. Vincent Martyr School Middle School Academic Achievement During their tenure here at SVMS, students strive toward ever increasing academic challenges. SVMS middle school faculty work diligently to encourage students to study with greater focus and prepare more thoroughly for classes. Teachers share perspectives that enable students to think differently and more deeply about matters great and small. Recognizing the uniqueness and individuality of children, teachers guide them to discover and develop their God-given gifts. SVMS’s fundamental task is, and has always been, to educate the whole person by integrating Christian values with learning in daily life. On behalf of the Education Council, we are proud to share the following information about some recent academic successes of our middle school program. Academic Competitions In 2016, SVMS middle school grades participated in the NJ Math League for the second year in a row and placed well in regional standings against many other Morris County middle schools1. Here is a summary of the results by grade: • 6th grade - SVMS student achieved the highest individual score in Morris County • 7th grade - SVMS team ranked #4 in Morris County • 8th grade - SVMS team ranked #4 in Morris County. In 2015 and 2016, SVMS also participated in a national engineering competition called Future City, which is a program of DiscoverE. In January of 2015, SVMS sent one team to the New Jersey regional competition held in Rutgers, and they performed well. Our competing students enjoyed the experience so much that the SVMS program grew, and we were able to send two teams to the 2016 New Jersey regionals.

    State of New Jersey 2014-15 27-3385-050 OVERVIEW MORRISTOWN HIGH SCHOOL MORRIS 50 EARLY STREET GRADE SPAN 09-12 MORRIS SCHOOL DISTRICT MORRISTOWN, NJ 07960 1.00 The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to present these annual reports of School Performance. These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers. In particular, the School Performance Reports seek to: Focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness. Benchmark a school's performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students, against statewide outcomes, and against state targets to illuminate and build upon a school's strengths and identify areas for improvement. Improve educational outcomes for students by providing both longitudinal and growth data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school's efforts to engage in continuous improvement. While the New Jersey School Performance Reports seek to bring more information to educators and stakeholders about the performance of schools, they do not seek to distill the performance of schools into a single metric, a single score, or a simplified conclusion. Instead, the intention is that educators and stakeholders will engage in deep, lengthy conversations about the full range of the data presented As educators know well, measuring school performance is both an art and a science. While the School Performance Report brings attention to important student outcomes, NJDOE does not collect data about other essential elements of a school, such as the provision of opportunities to participate and excel in extracurricular activities; the development of non-cognitive skills like time management and perseverance; the pervasiveness of a positive school culture or climate; or the attainment of other employability and technical skills, as many of these data are beyond both the capacity and resources of schools to measure and collect well.
