HOPATCONG BOARD OF EDUCATION

FACTUAL STATEMENT

On October 3, 2003, the Board of Education of the Borough of Hopatcong (“Board”) entered into a Lease with Horizon PCS for the placement and procurement of a wireless communications Tower, which Lease was assigned to Gaelic Communications, LLC (“Gaelic”) on October 10, 2003, and approved by the Board.

Pursuant to the terms of the Lease (Section 8, inter alia), Gaelic was permitted to sublease use of the Tower to other persons or entities with the written consent of the Board provided Gaelic paid to the Board fifty percent (50%) of all rental considerations Gaelic received for such use of the Tower. Gaelic, in fact, did so sublease such use of the Tower to such entities as shown on Exhibit A attached for rentals from lease dates shown thereon. Fifty percent (50%) of such rentals were consequently forwarded to the Board in full conformance with the Lease requirements.

As the result of an error, written consent of the Board was never requested by Gaelic or granted by the Board.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Education of the Borough of Hopatcong, that the Board ratifies the subleases by Gaelic Communications, LLC, more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto, and hereby approves, consents and ratifies said subleases provided the Board continues to receive fifty percent (50%) of all rental considerations which Gaelic receives from such persons or entities for such use of the Tower.

In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:40-5.1 et seq., the Board of Education shall ensure each student enrolled in the school district who has exhibited one or more potential indicators of dyslexia or other reading disabilities is screened for dyslexia and other reading disabilities using a screening instrument selected pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:40- 5.2. This screening shall be administered no later than the student’s completion of the first semester of the second grade.

In the event a student who would have been enrolled in Kindergarten, grade one, or grade two during or after the 2014-2015 school year enrolls in the district in Kindergarten through grade six during or after the 2015-2016 school year and has no record of being previously screened for dyslexia or other reading disabilities, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-5.2 et seq., the Board shall ensure the newly-enrolled student is screened for dyslexia and other reading disabilities using a screening instrument selected pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-5.1. This screening shall be administered at the same time other students enrolled in the student's grade are screened for dyslexia and other reading disabilities, or if other students enrolled in the student's grade have previously been screened, within ninety calendar days of the date the student is enrolled in the district. The screenings shall be administered by a teacher or other teaching staff member properly trained in the screening process for dyslexia and other reading disabilities.

For the purposes of this Policy, “potential indicators of dyslexia or other reading disabilities” means indicators that include, but shall not be limited to, difficulty in acquiring language skills; inability to comprehend oral or written language; difficulty in rhyming words; difficulty in naming letters, recognizing letters, matching letters to sounds, and blending sounds when speaking and reading words; difficulty recognizing and remembering sight words; consistent transposition of number sequences, letter reversals, inversions, and substitutions; and trouble in replication of content.

BOARD OF EDUCATION1 POLICY HOPATCONG PUPILS 5756/Page 1 of 2 Transgender Students

5756 TRANSGENDER STUDENTS

The Board of Education strives to provide a safe and supportive environment for all students. In furthering this goal, the Board adopts this Policy to address the needs of transgender and gender nonconforming students enrolled in the school district.

For the purposes of this Policy:

1. “Gender expression” refers to the way a student represents or expresses gender to others, often through behavior, clothing, hairstyles, activities, voice, or mannerisms.

2. “Gender identity” means a student's deeply held sense or psychological knowledge of their own gender, regardless of the gender they were assigned at birth.

3. “Gender identity or expression” also means having or being perceived as having a gender-related identity or expression whether or not stereotypically associated with a person’s assigned sex at birth.

4. “Gender nonconforming” describes a student whose gender expression differs from stereotypical expectations, such as "feminine" boys, "masculine" girls, and those who are perceived as androgynous.

5. “Transgender” describes students whose gender identity is different from their gender assigned at birth.

Gender-related identity may be provided to the school district by a parent of a student or by an adult student with evidence including, but not limited to, medical history, care or treatment of the gender-related identity, consistent and uniform assertion of the gender-related identity, or any other evidence that the gender-related identity is sincerely held as part of the student's core identity.

The Board of Education believes the responsibility for determining a student's gender-related identity rests with the student, or in the case of young students not yet able to advocate for themselves, with the parent. Therefore, the Board will accept a student's assertion of his or her gender identity when there is consistent and uniform assertion of the gender-related identity, or any other evidence that the gender-related identity is sincerely held as a part of the student’s core identity. The Board authorizes the Superintendent or designee to question a student's asserted gender identity when there is a credible basis for believing the student's gender-related identity is

BOARD OF EDUCATION2 POLICY HOPATCONG PUPILS 5756/Page 2 of 2 Transgender Students

being asserted for some improper purpose. Confirmation of a student's asserted gender must include a letter from a parent or the adult student to the Superintendent of Schools indicating the student is gender non-conforming.

The Board recognizes school-related issues regarding transgender students will vary on a case-by- case basis. Therefore, the Superintendent of Schools or designee will meet with the parent and student to discuss school-related issues such as the name and pronoun to be used by district staff in referring to the student, the gender identification to be used on the student's records, district staff members that should be informed of the student's access and use of restrooms, locker rooms, changing facilities, physical education classes, and other gender issues affecting the transgender student and his/her attendance at school. The school district will take reasonable measures to accommodate the needs of transgender students.
