Page 1 1/8/03 PRESENTATION OF MINUTES Comm. Santiago presented the minutes of the December 10, 2002 Workshop Meeting and the December 11, 2002 Regular Meeting, and asked if there were any questions or comments on the minutes. It was moved by Comm. Vancheri, seconded by Comm. Agard-Jones that the minutes be accepted with any necessary corrections. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried. PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Historical Artworks in the Paterson Public Schools Dr. Duroy: This evening we are going to have a presentation that we call Historical Artworks in the Paterson Public Schools. As you are aware, the public schools are filled in many respects with art that has been placed through the years, including the work of a famous artist from Paterson called Federicci. We also have other artists that have, through contributions through the years, provided us with the opportunity to see art on a daily basis. We are also concerned because as I went around and talked to many of the Patersonians who grew up here about the artwork that they saw as students - now as adults some of those artworks are missing. Having that information, I thought it was very important for us as a district to codify and identify the artwork that is presently in the district to safeguard it. Several months ago we retained the services of a former principal who is in fact an artist in and of himself. Mr. Focacci is a wood artist and a retired principal. He, along with Mr. Mitch Izenberg, has put together a PowerPoint that we will see this evening on artwork in the Paterson Public Schools. Mr. Henry Focacci: Good evening and belated Happy New Year. Please excuse my back. I would like to reiterate what Dr. Duroy just said. At the beginning of the school term, Dr. Duroy shared with me a project that he was considering for me to undertake. It was to visit every elementary and high school, along with Hinchliffe Stadium, to pictorially record any of the artifacts that might be housed at those sites. Bringing this idea to fruition was long overdue. This project represents a culmination of one month of visitations, observations, and conversations at all the buildings. Many of you would be very surprised at the artistic pieces that embellish our school buildings. These include bronze plaques, sculptures, plaster relief plaques, decorative architectural designs and carvings, all representing the artistic skills and talents of those artisans whose works were either personal gifts from the artist or commissioned projects from the architects. The time frame for many of these assignments was from the late 1800’s to the mid 1940’s. It is unfortunate that over the years many of these artistic pieces were either destroyed, damaged, stolen, or lost in limbo. Time and over-painting has also taken its toll. This undertaking could not have been completed without the cooperation from the administrators and staff at each school that we visited. I am grateful to Mitchell Izenberg whose expertise in photography and computer imaging produced the photos selected for our booklet that you have received and this presentation. I am also appreciative to Vincent Oraski, a retired teacher and Paterson historian, whose Page 2 1/8/03 background knowledge of our city assisted in filling in some of the gaps. Most of the artistic work in our schools was the creation of a local sculptor, Mr. Guitano Federicci. I had the privilege and honor of meeting this fine gentleman while studying woodcarving at Don Bosco Tech. After establishing himself in Paterson, he became the city’s master artist and resident public sculptor. His works from 1930 through 1938 were heavily school oriented. Mr. Federicci also served on a school commission from 1931 through 1938. For our presentation this evening, we have selected 14 of the 92 samples that are in your booklets. School No. 18 Artifact: Lifesize Statue Location: Auditorium School No. 4 Leaded Window Glass Location: 1st Floor Corridor (Boiler Room) Plaster Relief “Mother Goose” Location: Room 210 Eastside High School Large Plaster Relief (Alexander Hamilton) Location: Principal’s Conference Room School No. 25 Blue Delft Fireplace Tiles Location: Old Home Economics Room (Ground Floor) Decorative Sconces Location: Auditorium School No. 19 Bronze Plaque Location: Front Lobby School No. 17 Bell Tower Location: Outside School No. 2 Paterson Evening News (Silver Trophy 1916) Page 3 1/8/03 Location: Principal’s Office School No. 5 Decorative Frieze (Plaster) Location: Auditorium Silk City 2000 Carved Wooden Fireplace Location: Main Office Hinchliffe Stadium Cement Relief Plaque (Gladiator) Location: Upper Level (Behind Tree) School No. 3 Plaster Relief Sculpture (Warriors & Cherubs) Location: 2nd Floor Corridor Lobby, 2nd Floor Office Corridor School No. 11 Plaster Decorative Relief (Horsemen, Cherubs, Round Plaque, Latin Inscription) Location: Throughout school School No. 20 Air Brush Artistry Location: Front Lobby If any of you know where we can find any type of artifact, please let Mitch or I know. You can contact us at the Superintendent’s office and we would be glad to come and pictorially record and add to our collection. This concludes my presentation. I wish to take the opportunity to thank all of you for the time you have given me. Thank you. Dr. Duroy: I want to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Focacci and Mr. Izenberg for the presentation. I also want to state that there is much more art than what was presented. We just provided an abbreviated presentation. Recently, I went to School No. 10 and they have a sliding pond that I think is about 80 or 90 years old. It is a wooden sliding pond that is an artwork and there are many, many more pieces like that. I want to stress and repeat one of the aspects pertaining to Hinchliffe Stadium. At one point, there was much more art that was found on the walls of Hinchliffe Stadium and we are down to one piece. We were recently even told that there was one piece that was found in an antique dealership and we are in pursuit of that piece. In many respects, we put you on notice that we all have a responsibility to safeguard the art and we certain have Page 4 1/8/03 a responsibility not to take it out of the schools because it belongs to the children of Paterson today and in the future. The district will continue to pursue any leads relative to art that has been taken from the schools. We are very fortunate to have this type of art. For example, I believe that School No. 3 is one of the schools that will eventually have a new school built and there is art in that particular school. That art will be preserved and will go into the new school when it is built. We need to do that because oftentimes when a building is closed, if the artwork is not safeguarded it does disappear. Again, Mr. Focacci and Mr. Izenberg, thank you for your presentation. REPORT OF STATE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Duroy: Mr. Chairman, I have basically two items that I would like to share. Let me first make the statement that this weekend, both the International High School and the PANTHER Academy will be gearing up to move into the renovated Don Bosco High School. We have been working on this particular project for months and we finally got a C.O. yesterday. We continue to work to finish up some of the work that has to take place and on Monday morning the students from the International High School and the PANTHER Academy will be in their new home at the Don Bosco site. I am very pleased to announce that. Renaming Public School No. 4 to Rev. Dr. Frank Napier, Jr. School Dr. Duroy: Secondly, on the agenda we have a special presentation and resolution that we are going to list at this point and have the Board consider. It has to do with the renaming of a school. As we are all aware, recently we lost a former superintendent of schools and a leader in the community, Rev.
