Teacher of the Year Recognition

Dr. Evans: Earlier this evening we recognized individuals who have been identified by faculties in each of our schools as the Teacher of the Year for those schools. I want to repeat some of the things that I said and add to that before calling to the podium Bernie Bristow who actually was the person who led this effort for us. He is soon to be Dr. Bristow by the way for those who don't know it already and we congratulate him for that. In our district we spend a lot of time either on our own initiative or through the initiative of others focusing on the ills of the district, the things that are wrong with the district, the things that we need to fix, and not enough time on the good things about our school district. Certainly, Teachers of the Year who have been identified because of their performance and achievement are worthy of all the recognition we can give them. We don't recognize the really good teachers we have in our district enough and as a result we are taking this opportunity in the context of identifying Teachers of the Year for each school and ultimately Teacher of the Year for the district to say first of all thank you to the teachers who have distinguished themselves and who have been identified by their colleagues as Teachers of the Year. But secondly, to also provide for them a small token of our appreciation which is also a part of this recognition. But before we get to that point let me suggest to you all that when we talk about realizing our vision, that is becoming a district that's recognized as a leader in the state in educating urban youth, all of us should recognize that that cannot occur without all of us working together and especially our teachers doing the things that they do in classrooms every single day. We won't realize that vision without that and all of us working with them to make sure that our students achieve to their potential. So I not only congratulate them for the work that they do every day for the children of Paterson, but also thank them for helping us to take one step forward in realizing the vision for our district. So if Bernie would join me at the podium.

*Comm. Taylor enters the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

Mr. Bernie Bristow: Good evening teachers and esteemed guests. You may be seated. Thank you and welcome to our Annual Teacher Recognition Program. Today we will be recognizing teachers under the banner of two statewide teacher recognition programs. The first is the Governor Teacher Recognition Program and the awards will be given to our award honorees. We will also be honoring teachers under the banner of the New Jersey School Teacher of the Year. We will recognize five finalists under the New Jersey School Teacher of the Year Program and tonight we will crown the Paterson Public School District Teacher of the Year. Before we get started, I would like to invite to join me on the stage the President of the Paterson Board of Education, the Honorable T.J. Best. Would the other esteemed members of the Board please accompany Mr. Best to the stage? We would also like Assistant Superintendents Dr. Fulmore, JoAnne Riviello, and Ms. Shafer to join us. National Board Certified Teachers Danielle Chiccerelli and Patricia Gordon please join us. Our parent representative Ms. Gladys Sinclair, please join us on the stage. I must mention that our highly esteemed teachers are being escorted by their instructional leaders, the principals in each building. Thank you, principals.

*Comm. Rodriguez enters the meeting at 7:20 p.m.

Before I announce the winner of the Paterson Public School District Teacher of the Year, this was not an easy process. Separating teaching excellence and having these teachers separate from their peers was an arduous process. You five finalists that are standing up on this stage right now should be very, very proud. It took the committee, Patricia Gordon, Dawn Uttel, Danielle Chiccerelli, Phyllis Adams, Wanda Koch, Jean Harvel, Marysol Berrios, Jacqueline Jones, George Garcia, and the Honorable T.J. Best, over three hours in committee to finally select our 2010 District Teacher of the Year. I‟m going to give that honor to Dr. Donnie Evans.

Dr. Evans: It‟s interesting that I have that distinction because I‟ve always wanted to say this. And the winner is…

2010 District Teacher of the Year – Mr. James Piombino – PANTHER Academy

REPORT OF STATE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Dr. Evans: I have four items that I will briefly review with you. First of all, I want to congratulate the Teachers of the Year, the five finalists for District Teacher of the Year, and Mr. Piombino who was identified as the Paterson Teacher of the Year. Each of those individuals works hard each day to meet the needs of our children and help us to realize our mission and our vision. So again I congratulate them. Secondly, I just handed to you a brief memo updating you on recent conversations regarding Paterson Catholic. We had some discussions in executive session around this issue. I attempted to respond to questions that surfaced that might influence any future conversations. I'm asking that in an upcoming executive session on July 1, which is when I believe we are scheduled to meet as a Board, that we have a subsequent conversation. We don't want to proceed internally unless the Board is supportive of us moving forward with any kind of formal arrangement and that letter reflects the latest conversations that we've had when we addressed issues that surfaced internally as we proceeded as we told you we would. So we will follow up with a conversation with you in executive session. In the meantime if you have any questions, concerns, or issues let us know. We are going to have subsequent conversations with our attorneys regarding some of the issues that have been raised and obviously internally continue to talk about options that we are comfortable with that we can bring to you with a recommendation. Third, I want to address RIF and recall again. We've circulated a number of memos and flyers attempting to keep everyone informed as to where we were with that process and that process continues to move. Needless to say as everyone no doubt knows there were some issues, problems, and challenges associated with the way initially this process began to unfold. I've shared with the Board information reflecting fixes or what we've done to remedy the situation moving forward, both in terms of short-term activity that has unfolded as planned and then long-term activity to ultimately institutionalize changes that will hopefully preclude this from happening this way again. I do want to announce that while there is additional RIF activity being conducted at the district office level as well as at schools, a much greater number of teachers and support staff are being mailed letters today that rescind RIFs. In fact, 285 teachers in particular will

Page 4 06/16/10 receive letters by the end of the week by mail rescinding their RIFs. Among them are all of the nurses with whom we‟ve expressed some concerns and 250 additional people beyond the nurses. I believe we have 32 nurses, but there are a number of folks in various categories who will receive those rescind letters before the weekend. A group of them went out this afternoon and the remainder will go out tomorrow morning. But they are being sent through US mail. Hopefully we have your current address in your database because that's where we‟re sending it. I want to say to everyone whether or not you were directly involved or impacted by this, particularly though to those who were mistakenly notified of their RIF status, I apologize for any anxiety and any frustration that you have felt as a result of this process. You should never have gotten those letters initially and I know some of you have been extremely frustrated by the correspondence and calls you‟ve sent my way and to Board members and others. I also need to take this opportunity to remind everyone of our priority for efficient and responsive operations which speaks to improving all district office functions and underscores the need for us to make significant changes to improve the way we do business in the district. I referred earlier to our vision, which is to be a national leader in educating urban youth, and that includes providing services directly to our schools, to our parents, and to our students, not just looking at students and student outcomes, but going way beyond that. Indeed much of the criticism we have received in many areas, including that associated with the RIF process, is well-founded. Again, I apologize for it and we will endeavor to make sure that as we continue to make major changes in this district – and we are going to make major changes in this district – then this kind of thing won't happen again. My last comment is actually to recognize Mr. Gonzalez. Where is Ray Gonzalez? There he is in the back. This is Mr. Gonzalez‟ last Board meeting with us. Some of you know that he has been made an offer that he can't refuse. I think that's from The Godfather. I don't know that the godfather made that offer, but he certainly has accepted it. I want to say to you that after having been here just over a year now – actually it's a year, a month, and about five days, but who‟s counting? – I've been impressed with the work of a lot of people and in full recognition that we have serious challenges in the district. There are some people who have distinguished themselves through their dedication and their effort to help us to begin in our early stages to help make our vision, our mission, and our priorities happen. Ray has been one of those people. In addition to that, he's been our technology guru. He sits in our meetings and helps us to make sure we capture a lot of our discussion either in chart form or using the latest software to make sure it's memorialized. But I'm going to miss Ray and I know a lot of people are. But we congratulate him for accepting an offer that he couldn't refuse. I think you have two weeks, Ray, for people to say congratulations. I don't know that „congratulations‟ is the appropriate term for me because now I have the sad chore of selecting someone else. But nonetheless we congratulate Mr. Gonzalez for his contribution to our district. Thank you, Mr. President.

REPORT OF BOARD PRESIDENT

Comm. Best: Thank you, Dr. Evans. I have several announcements to make, the first of which is that on June 22 there will be a scholarship endowment benefit concert for the Rory Quince Scholarship Foundation at William Paterson University. Rory Quince was a close friend of mine and a graduate of Rosa Parks High School in Paterson, New Jersey who lost his life in a car accident on his 21st birthday. Both his parents work for the Paterson Public School District. His mother is the Principal of the Academy of Performing Arts at School 6. If you would like any more information about that it's on June 22 at William Paterson University. Also, on June 23 at 6:30 p.m. we will be hosting our first Board-sponsored community forum. If you remember we said that we wanted to give the community an opportunity to interact more frequently and have a true conversation with the Board. On the 23rd will be our first of nine such community

Page 5 06/16/10 forums. The first one will be hosted by myself at International High School at 6:30 p.m. That‟s on June 23 at 6:30 p.m. at International High School. The focus of the meeting will be around summer school offerings. We are going to have a presentation by our Recreation Department in the City of Paterson, as well as an update on the fields in Paterson, both Bauerle Field and Hinchliffe Stadium. So we ask that everyone please come out to our first community forum. No official business will be taking place. We will not be having any votes. But this is an opportunity for the community to dialogue with the Board. We will have an extended public portion for at least five minutes where the community will have a chance to ask the Board questions and get a response onsite. So thank you for your support in that effort. Also on June 28 at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Evans will be hosting another community forum at Eastside High School to talk about the new schools that will be established there, the three different academies at Eastside High School. We encourage all of the families and communities from that area as well as anyone else in the City of Paterson who is interested in learning more about the innovative academies that we are starting at Eastside High School in September. That will be on June 28 at 6:30 p.m. at Eastside High School. Lastly, I'm going to give a little time for a presentation, but I wanted to congratulate all of the teachers, principals, and the committee members who put together this outstanding event today to recognize the best and the brightest in the City of Paterson. I'd like to thank Dr. Evans for his leadership. I'd like to thank Mr. Bernie Bristow from PANTHER Academy who is the chair. I had the opportunity to serve on that committee. As Mr. Bristow said, it was very hard to navigate through so many qualified candidates. A lot of times, especially in this climate with everything that is going on in the state around teachers, tenures, pensions, RIFs, and all of that other stuff, sometimes we forget how important the teachers are. Tonight hopefully the teachers could see just some of the gratification that we have as Board members for the hard work that they do. So thank you all for your outstanding work throughout the year and we look forward to working with you next year. Dr. Evans already mentioned that some letters went out to staff members who were wrongfully RIF‟d. Throughout the last two months, I've been receiving numerous phone calls, e- mails, and letters talking about the RIFs in general and I'm glad to see that we can recognize when we made a mistake and take corrective actions to make sure that we've resolved that and make sure it never happens again. So I'd like to commend Dr. Evans for his leadership in rectifying this mistake. I see that the nurses are here today. Thank you all for coming out. Hopefully we've answered your questions. I see that many of you have signed up. If you want to have your three minutes you are still open to have it. The floor will be yours. I would now like to introduce Ms. Donna Nelson-Ivy from the Passaic County United Way who was the leader of the Inspire & Motivate Program at Eastside High School who just wanted to give us a final report on how things went at Eastside High School this year.

Ms. Donna Nelson-Ivy: Donna Nelson-Ivy, Paterson. I think you all have received two documents. One is student satisfaction survey responses and the second one is teachers/volunteers program satisfaction survey responses. This is as a result of Inspire & Motivate, a pilot program that we did at Eastside High School. I want to thank Dr. Evans first of all for allowing us to go into Eastside High School and certainly Principal Johnson and Principal Moody because if it wasn‟t for Principal Johnson we would not have been there allowing us to have our how we correct or increase our high school graduation rate meetings at Eastside High School. So that's how all this came about. I just can‟t go a step further without thanking Dr. Fulmore because he has been incredibly supportive of this endeavor. We went to Eastside and we started with orientation, gave the students supplies, and stayed with them throughout the school year. It was not an easy task, not because of the students I might add. The volunteer schedules had some intense duties and responsibilities. So making sure that we had volunteers in the classrooms with those students every four to six weeks was a

Page 6 06/16/10 challenge. What you have in front of you are the survey results. The first week in June was our last session and it's just a short report. What we wanted to do was to share with you all some of the successes and what the students gave back to us in terms of what was gratifying for them. In the packet you have the survey that we asked the students because I abbreviated in reporting the results. But in the packet you do have the survey so you can cross-walk it with the results and you see where the students gave high ratings to the different areas. They want to know about careers. They really enjoyed the career day. You‟ll see a listing of all the things we did throughout the school year. The volunteers and the teachers also gave us feedback and what I did was I took the liberty to add all of the comments that the volunteers and the teachers made on the list. It's double-sided. I like saving paper when I can. But I just want you to get a feel of not only the responses by the students, but also by the teachers and the volunteers. The students overwhelmingly suggest that we do this again for the freshmen in 2010 at Eastside. I know the volunteers in the audience probably don't want to hear this, but the volunteers that worked with them this year they really want them to come back next year as they enter their sophomore year. So I just wanted to give a quick update and overview. It was rewarding. We did a year. We completed a year. It was good stuff. Thank you all that supported it. I appreciate it. Any questions feel free to give me a call. Most of you have my numbers. Thank you.

Comm. Best: Thank you, Ms. Ivy. As she kind of mentioned, I was one of the volunteers. We had an outstanding cohort of volunteers who came out. I was one of the people who missed a couple of meetings due to a busy schedule. But I loved every moment that I had with the students in the freshman class at Eastside High School. It was very insightful being a Board member but then to also hear about the programs that we vote on and seeing how they are actually affecting the students themselves and hear it from the students‟ mouths. It‟s very insightful. Sometimes what we read on paper and the conversations that we have are very different from the conversations and the interactions that you have with the students who are supposed to be receiving the information that we are trying to put out there. So next year as Ms. Ivy said we are looking for more volunteers. I encourage the rest of the Board members if the schedule permits to be a part of this outstanding program and to work with our young people. I would like to also give a quick shout-out to Eddie Gonzalez who was a former Board member who worked with the Inspire & Motivate Program throughout the course of the year as well. That will conclude my remarks.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

It was moved by Comm. Guzman, seconded by Comm. Rodriguez that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be opened. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried.

Comm. Best: I would like to remind everyone that we have three minutes per speaker. Do we have the clock here? I don't want to cut anyone off, so we are going to ask that when the timer rings that you please conclude your remarks and we can get through the agenda…(end of tape)

Ms. Kathleen Schnorr: Good evening Dr. Evans, Board of Education, administrators, my fellow colleagues, and the Paterson community. My name is Kathleen Schnorr and I'm currently an English teacher at John F. Kennedy High School. This is an exciting night. I'd like to congratulate all teachers who have been recognized. Let us celebrate. On another note, I come to you with great sadness. Since the devastation of the May 15 non-renewals there's been an overwhelming sadness and un-assurance in the Paterson Public School District. I'm representing tonight all educators. With that, I'd

Page 7 06/16/10 like to offer some words of encouragement to my fellow teachers, not only the teachers who were here tonight setting an example, but for also the teachers who are facing unemployment without hope. The title of this piece is “I am. We are” and I hope that it brings and sheds some light on some of the feelings that I'm receiving from my colleagues. This piece is dedicated to all teachers who have lost their positions: “I am sad, but not devastated. I'm disgusted, but not discouraged. I am concerned, but not consumed. I am pressed, but not crushed. I am ridiculed, but not ridiculous. I am impatient, but not hurried. I am helpless, but not hopeless. I am fooled, but not foolish. I am angry, but not bitter. I am afraid, but not fearful. I am burdened, but not defeated. I am criticized, but not downhearted. I am lonely, but not alone. I am unemployed, but still a teacher. I am weak, but we are strong.” Please, Board of Education, let's live in the answer to this problem. I'm happy to hear that many people have been reinstated. I hope that you will consider reinstating all of us. Without the teachers in this school system the kids are left with nobody to educate them. Let‟s get our priorities straight. Please reinstate us all. Let us come back into these doors, a place that we call home. The kids need us. Please help us in any way that you can. Thank you.

Ms. Marina Lugovoy: Good evening Dr. Evans and the Board members. We thank you very much for this opportunity to speak and thank you for the very good news that you‟ve given us this evening. I am Marina Lugovoy, a certified school nurse here in the district. Myself, some of the nurses, and some of the parents are here to present to you an overview of the role of school nurses here in Paterson. In 2002 the profession of school nursing celebrated its 100th anniversary. While the role of school nursing has evolved over the past 100 years school nurses remain the mainstay of health in the educational system. Our role is to provide direct care to students and to be the health expert in the school with our overall goal being to support students in attaining their full academic potential. To give you some idea of the scope of practice of the certified school nurses here in Paterson, I'd like to share with you some data we've collected from this year‟s preliminary annual nursing report. About 24,000 students were enrolled in the district and as per state mandate students were given routine health screenings on a regular basis. Of the 23,000 students who were screened for height, weight, and blood pressure, 1,800 students were referred for further assessment of their weight, and 102 were referred for further assessment of elevated blood pressure. Obesity and high blood pressure are growing health concerns in young people. 14,800 students had vision screens done by the nurses and of those 2,239 were found to have vision problems. These students probably need glasses and this would have been overlooked had they not been screened in school. The school nurses here had 62,000 student visits for minor accidents such as scraped knees. There were 978 more serious reportable incidents whereby an accident was significant enough that a parent was notified and the student needed further medical care. Many children in our district require special procedures to be done usually on a daily basis. There are 37 students with diabetes. These are students who need daily testing of their blood sugar and for most of them a dosage of insulin needs to be calculated and then injected. Having a blood sugar that's too high or too low is potentially life-threatening. There are 131 students who have Epi-Pens. These are children who have potentially life-threatening allergies. These allergies can cause their airways to close and they can die. There are approximately 2,400 students enrolled who have asthma. Even mild asthma is a very serious disease. Children with asthma can very rapidly progress to respiratory distress. In fact, asthma is the third leading cause of hospitalizations of children in this country and one of the main causes of school absenteeism. We are very proud of the fact that just last week the Paterson district was awarded the Asthma Friendly Schools Award by the Pediatric Adult Asthma Coalition of New Jersey. Most of all, we are very proud of the high-quality healthcare that we provide to the public school children of Paterson. Thank you.

Ms. Jean Marie Orso: Good evening Dr. Evans and Board Commissioners. My name is Jean Marie Orso and I'm a proud Paterson Public School Nurse. Thank you for this opportunity to address this Board this evening. Public law in 1999 Chapter 153 requires school boards to hire certified school nurses. It is the legal responsibility of the local school boards and school administrators to provide for the health and safety of all students in the school setting. This includes the provision of related healthcare services by qualified staff. As certified school nurses we are here tonight to share with you information about what we do in the school setting which enables us to provide safe and appropriate care to the Paterson Public School children. We deal with a variety complex healthcare issues, which impact upon the educational process for our children with special needs. On a daily basis we address the health and educational needs of students who cannot breath due to asthma, students with spines that are not formed properly and need to be catheterized, children with life-threatening peanut allergies that can result in death, to students with hearing impairments, autism, children with diabetes who must be monitored several times a day, as well as those with a variety of mental health issues such as ADHD and panic disorders. The passage of public law 94-142 in 1975 as well as the Individuals With Disabilities Act of 1973 and its amendments obligate local districts to provide health services to those not eligible for special education who previously may not have been able to attend public school due to their special healthcare needs. A certified school nurse holds a current license as a registered professional nurse from the State Board of Nursing as well as an educational services endorsement of school nurse from the Department of Education. The educational preparation of a school nurse is highly specialized, a baccalaureate degree, a background in the social sciences, and education. Health education specific to public schools‟ core curriculum standards, courses specific to the practice of school nursing, health regulations, and school law are all required to attain certification. In the school setting the goal of delivering health services is directly related to the child‟s education, which is to have a positive impact upon the development of students to become capable and contributing members of society. Health status is linked to educational goals. Every child is entitled to a free and appropriate education provided in a least restrictive environment. The certified school nurse is the only one that can evaluate the needs of the student and write an individualized healthcare plan. An emergency healthcare plan is then completed to prepare for every possible contingency while that student is in the school or in a school-related function. The individualized healthcare plan is necessary for the successful management of students with chronic conditions and disabilities to enable them to fully access their educational programs. Thank you.

Ms. Sandra Conte: Good evening Dr. Evans and Board Commissioners. My name is Sandra Conte and I'm a Certified School Nurse in Paterson. Thank you for your time and consideration. My role requires that I deal with a myriad of medical issues. Along with routine illnesses and injuries many students with special needs require daily monitoring and medication for asthma, diabetes, sickle cell, allergies, and behavior issues, just to name a few. I am often the first person to assess the medical needs of our students, especially those who have had little or no medical care. I routinely find hearing and vision problems that may have remained undiagnosed while performing state mandated assessments. A student who cannot see the board or hear the teacher is unable to learn adequately until the problem is corrected. I have listened to the lungs of a child with difficulty breathing only to determine that the child is having an asthma attack never having previously been diagnosed. Left untreated asthma is life- threatening. It is also one of the leading causes of school absences. Because I am here for the day-to-day issues that affect our children I can advocate for them and empower parents by providing health information and assistance in accessing community resources. I am the gatekeeper for community health. Upon registration

Page 9 06/16/10 parents and students must meet with the school nurse in order to make sure that the child is up-to-date on all mandated vaccines and physical exams. Communicable illnesses such as polio, chicken pox, and mumps have been virtually eradicated as a result of compliance with these immunizations. New challenges are brought to my attention daily such as the neglected child who comes to school without breakfast unable to focus in class, the frightened child who is being bullied and needs help, the student who thinks she may be pregnant and does not know what to do, the student who comes to me in despair seeking help for an abusive home situation, and worst of all, the crisis situation whereby a child is making suicidal threats. The nurse‟s office is a safe zone where a child can come for help. We are trusted by the school community and we address students‟ needs with the goal of keeping them healthy and in school so they can learn. School nurses sit on the crisis intervention team, on the intervention and referral services team, and we collaborate with other disciplines in order to meet the educational needs of the children. In addition, we provide staff development training on asthma, diabetes, universal precautions, and we are certified to teach and present selected health topics in the classroom. My role is multi-facetted as health provider, teacher, counselor, and confidant with a constant focus on the promotion of a healthy school environment that‟s conducive to learning. School nurses are vital to the students of Paterson. Children with emergent or unaddressed health needs are unable to achieve their academic potential. Thank you for realizing the importance of providing adequate school health nurse services by keeping school nurses present in every building. Thank you very much.

Ms. Denise Royal: Good evening Dr. Fulmore and the rest of the Board, as well as any parents that are here. You have no idea. When you made the announcement that the school nurses were going to be reinstated I was so excited. I came here to speak on behalf of my child and as I‟m sure many parents in the City of Paterson who have children that suffer from illnesses. My daughter suffers from asthma. Nurse Conte is our school nurse. When I make a phone call she knows my voice before I even introduce myself. That's the kind of relationship we have because of the importance of her role in the school. My daughter sometimes is required to have her breathing checked several times within a day. I'm glad that you have realized the need for school nurses and have reinstated them. But I would also like to encourage you to come up with a plan that ensures that something like this doesn't happen again to nurses or any teachers in the future. It goes beyond just the nurses, although they are an incredible benefit to the school. Teachers overall as well with the shortage that we have create a big concern. I again want to just say thank you and I hope that the parents can have a part in any future decision-making processes about how the needs in the school are best met. Again, thank you very much.

Ms. Victoria Gonzalez: Good evening Dr. Evans, Board Commissioners, parents, and guests. My name is Victoria Gonzalez. I am a Certified School Nurse in the Paterson Public School System. I am pleased to be here and have the opportunity to address you all at this Board meeting. First, I would like to thank you, Dr. Evans, for ensuring the safety and the well-being of our students and community. As you know, there has been a clear rise in student statistics related to the acuity and the increase of sick children entering the public school system. Students are attending school with multiple problems, not just medical, but also physical, many dealing with mental illnesses. A school nurse certainly can and does prevent many potentially harmful situations that a student can encounter. Just within these last two years in my schools alone students have collapsed during school hours from poor management of their diseases. I have referred several students with irregular heartbeats and shortness of breath to pediatric cardiologists and one was diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome, a potentially life-threatening disease if not treated. At least 15 students were referred for

Page 10 06/16/10 crisis interventions related to suicide ideations and yet others referred for counseling because of childhood traumas. I even resuscitated a teacher that collapsed during school hours. A school nurse is no longer as once perceived the provider of Band-Aids, cots, and hearing tests. We find ourselves increasingly enmeshed in the delivery of a multitude of medication doses for such diseases as AHDH, diabetes, asthma, and bipolar mental illnesses just to name a few. Dispensing medication is just one of the school nurse‟s many duties. She serves as a resource person for the students, staff, and community. The school nurses identify the needs of their children and their community and facilitate programs to meet those needs. Let‟s not forget that the school nurse is also a health educator rendering information that strengthens our youth with the knowledge to make sound positive health decisions. These decisions can potentially impact our nation‟s bottom line in the future. The school nurse is at times the only adult that a student trusts and confides in. We are bound by law to honor confidentiality and students are well aware of that fact. These children need a competent and caring nurse present to attend to their medical needs and to any medical emergencies. I strongly believe that a school nurse in every school is not only valuable but necessary. All school nurses believe and abide by Dr. Joyce Elders, our 15th Surgeon General of the United States, who said, “You can‟t educate a child who isn't healthy and you can't keep a child healthy who isn't educated.” I am grateful to the Paterson School District for allowing me to apply my expertise in critical care, cardiology, oncology, and management to meet the needs of my students and community. Thank you and good night.

Ms. Joyce Henry: Good evening Dr. Evans and members of the Board, parents, and friends. Dr. Evans, I want to say I'm very elated. I came here to beg you and plead with you but you stopped me in my tracks. But I'm going to give you a little piece of what I was going to say. Is that okay? My name is Joyce Henry and I'm the parent school liaison at Alexander Hamilton Academy. I work as a parent advocate and I work along with Nurse Conte, not in the capacity of being a nurse, but as a watch person and as an advocate to the parents. However, as a retired registered nurse, nursing supervisor, mother of two children, grandmother of two, and great grandmother of four, I'm quite well aware of how the system works as far as school nurses. It is an absolute must that children be monitored very closely daily. These are emergencies such as choking, bleeding, seizures, asthma, diabetic comas, as well as tracking of immunizations and keeping parents informed of their child‟s health. There are also disabled children who need special attention and care. I'm not going to go over what the others said because you heard that. I'm requesting that you consider your previous decision and bring all the nurses back, which you have done or say you are going to do. Dividing them up into several schools will be shortchanging the children and shortchanging the care of the children. I want to thank you again and thank the Board.

Ms. Sandra Bosque: Good evening. My name is Sandra Bosque and I'm the President of the Paterson Rotary. Each year we give out scholarships to our high school students. So far since the inception of the William B. Hannah Scholarship Fund we've given over $90,000 out. Last year we gave out $14,000. This year only three applications came in - one from Eastside, one from International, and one from Kennedy. This is very upsetting and sad to us. This is money we want the kids to have. We believe every child is entitled to a college scholarship and get something, but we didn't get any applications. I'd like this to be checked into for next year. We want as many as possible and we want to give out these scholarships to kids. Second part, we teach our children about the importance of environmental science and how we should recycle, yet we don't practice what we preach. We do not recycle in the schools. A group of children started a campaign against McDonald‟s for using Styrofoam containers. The school children won. McDonald‟s stopped the practice and went to

Page 11 06/16/10 using cardboard. We need to stop the use of Styrofoam in our cafeterias as our trays. We need to show the children that we do care about their future too. Thank you.

Mr. Luis Velez: Good evening Superintendent Evans and Board members. My name is Luiz Velez from Paterson, New Jersey. For me it is an honor. The last meeting I was here was March 23, 2007, almost three weeks before the election that I was supposed to run but April 16 was my last day. But I'm back. I'm sitting listening to Board meetings over the TV and reading the newspaper and I've seen a big change in this Board, not only in the Board, but all over the school district. That's good. It satisfies me. But there is a lot of work to do. I was reading the agenda today and I remember in 2006 I brought in when I used to work for the North Jersey Federal Credit Union a program called “A Dollar for an A.” I don't know if Comm. Hodges, Errol Kerr, or Ms. Taylor remembers that. Up to now there is $3 for each A up to five As that they get in their report cards. When I was reading the agenda today for me it was an honor to see Resolution A-17 that the North Jersey Federal Credit Union is doing a partnership with John F. Kennedy to build up administrators through the credit union and create programs through the credit unions. But the point that I like most is that it is at no cost to the district. That's the part that I most like, no cost to the district. When I say that it is because I wish Wachovia and other banks and businesses around get involved in the education in Paterson and do the same thing at no cost and donate their time to educate our children. My children were raised in Paterson and graduated from Eastside High School. I'm proud of them. I'm telling you, when I saw this it moved me. But also when I see that this was going on with the nurses in our district I could tell a lot about the services that the nurses do in our school because my daughter was a chronic asthma patient. If there were not one of those nurses in School 21 my daughter probably would not be here. But to be able to cut those good positions that we have in the district look at Resolution C-19 and C-23 and you will notice where the money goes. Instead of the money going to vendors out there that supply the same thing let's put it to the education and keep our teachers and nurses in school. Thank you.

Ms. Betsy Antonoff: Good evening Dr. Evans, Commissioners, parents, teachers, friends, and nurses. My name is Betsy Antonoff. I'm a guidance counselor at Eastside High School. At least I think I am. I am now. I'm just wondering in terms of the reorganization at Eastside and how important it is to get things in place in a timely fashion so we can all work together when it is that the rest of us are going to hear about the RIF notices. Dr. Evans, you addressed that today. The nurses I know were brought back as a group. I'm thrilled about that. As a guidance counselor, I spend quite a bit of time in the nurse‟s office actually talking about students and seeing if there is anything else I need to know about them in terms of health that can help them with their academics. I understand that there are groups of people that were RIF‟d in error. Are there other groups like the nurses that were RIF‟d in error? Or are they individuals? If we don't get our letters this week what does that mean? So Dr. Evans, I appreciate the fact that you have been improving communication. I appreciated your letter. I think it was about two weeks ago on the website, but we haven't heard anything since, just rumor and rumor and rumor. Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows what's really happening. I think you get the picture. So there are a lot of questions. I am dedicated to Eastside. I'm dedicated to the students there as are all the counselors and all the teachers. We just want to know one way or the other. Am I coming back for that training on July 1 and 2? Or am I not? This change that's happening, the restructuring at Eastside, is imperative that the teams be in place ASAP so that we can start working. We've been scheduling students. They ask a lot of questions and I don't necessarily have the answers. I hope those answers are coming soon for them in terms of their courses and so on and so forth. I'm very excited about the changes that are taking place. I think we can make a very big

Page 12 06/16/10 difference, but communication also has to improve. I know you are working on it, but Donna Nelson-Ivy here was talking a little bit earlier and that program was going on right under our nose at Eastside and the counselors didn't know about it. I had to find out at a Board meeting. So I hope that's not going to happen anymore. Thank you for your time and I certainly hope that you will bring the counselors back.

Dr. Hani Awadallah: Good evening Dr. Evans and Commissioners. I just want to first congratulate all those teachers who got the awards tonight. As you mentioned, Dr. Evans, without teachers there will be no movement and no excellence because they are the moving force in education. Without good teachers we cannot go anywhere. It is a good occasion for Paterson and the educational leadership in Paterson to recognize these good teachers as you just have done. I also congratulate the nurses. I'm glad that all of them are back and I really hope the same will be happening to the counselors hopefully very soon. I want to thank the Board and you, Dr. Evans, for your leadership showing up at our graduation ceremonies, you showing up with your lovely wife, and you ladies and gentlemen spending good time with us. That really means a lot to our community. You might dismiss it as something social or something. No, it is not. It really meant a lot to us and it means a lot to us for you to be with us and to share our good times and bad times. Paterson may be poor but it is not really poor in spirit. Paterson is very rich. I really mean this. Paterson is soul city. I don't know why any town would like to change its name to become disassociated with Paterson. Paterson is where the spirit, the brotherhood, and sisterhood exist. I would like to also thank those people in leadership, the Mayor-elect who really showed up, the Honorable Jerry Speziale for being with us, and all the leadership which has cared and shown the concern for being with us. Thank you all very much.

Ms. Marqweesha Guthrie: Good evening members of the Board and members of the community. My name is Marqweesha Guthrie. Normally I come to speak my mind about an issue that's going on in the school system or to ask questions. But tonight as a senior with there being two weeks of school left moving on to college and taking that next step, I'm just here to say thank you to mentors, teachers, nurses, and everyone. Thank you because besides learning math, English, and everything else, I've learned in the Paterson School System for over 12 years that things will happen and no one knows why things happen. For example, with the budget cuts and everything else no one knows why and we all want to blame people. But at the end of the day we stick together and we come out and we have the students graduate to move on because I learned when you go to college you really can't blame nobody. Everything that happens is your fault if something happens to you. So I'm just here tonight to say thank you because everything I've learned I'm taking with me. Although I'm moving on and out of Paterson and south to Florida I'm taking everything I've learned with me. So thanks for all the memories. God bless you.

It was moved by Comm. Rodriguez, seconded by Comm. Irving that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be closed.

Dr. Evans: There were questions raised regarding where we were with the RIF process. We spoke specifically to the nurses. Remember the number that I put out there was 285. That includes a wide array of positions and categories, but those were individuals who weren‟t recalled. Those were rescissions of RIF letters. Those were people who received letters in error and should not have received one. We simply are rescinding that letter. A major next step, in fact the major next step, is recall. Meaning, once we complete a process that is currently under way that involves the assistant superintendents and I meeting. We met yesterday. We are meeting again today. We will meet again tomorrow morning to determine the staffing needs of each school in the

Page 13 06/16/10 district, then we will determine how many individuals we will need to bring back if we haven't already to meet our basic staffing needs. By basic staffing needs I'm talking about how many elementary teachers we will need to cover all of the classes that we will need to meet our class size ratios and how many high school teachers we need by subject area or by certification area to meet our basic class size requirements. There are other categories associated with that such as special education, ESL, and one or two other categories. The next step is to then go into the areas that we typically refer to as support areas. That might include ASTs, art, and music, utilizing positions that will have been created through retirements or resignations from the district for other reasons. Annually the figure that we've shared in the past is that from 250 to 300 people resign or leave the district annually. In fact, we expect the numbers to be a little bit higher this year. We expect it to be over 300 and those positions will then be the positions that we will use to ultimately call back individuals in those support areas. Right now it looks as if we are very good at meeting our basic education needs and no one necessarily will need to be called back, unless they are in a critical shortage area and we don't have others in that particular area. We will be calling back people under those circumstances. But I want you to understand that the two groups are different. The rescissions that occurred are different from individuals who are being recalled to satisfy our basic staffing needs. But that process as I mentioned will conclude tomorrow once we have a good picture of what each school needs and then early next week we will actually begin to identify people to come back to fill those other positions. So we still expect another 250 to 300 people to be recalled is the point. The process continues, but that‟s where we are.

On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried.

BOARD COMMENTS

Comm. Best: I'd like to thank the public for their input and encourage you to stay around for Board responses. I'd like to remind the Board members of the time limit.

Comm. Hodges: I want to thank the teachers and congratulate them on a job well done. No further comments, Mr. President.

Comm. Irving: You look stunned. There are just a few things that I'd like to address. Dr. Evans mentioned that we are rescinding 285 RIF letters and we are reissuing 100 or so to teachers who have not received them. I've said this in Board workshops and behind closed doors and I'm making sure I'm saying it for their record. This RIF'ng process has been a disaster and an embarrassment for our district. The fact that we played with 285 people‟s lives is not something that as an elected official I'm cool with. I appreciate the Superintendent recognizes that. But with that said, there are still individuals who should be held accountable. There is a department in our district. There is leadership in Dr. Evans‟ staff that needs to be held accountable for the egregious mistake that they made. I know, Dr. Evans, you have taken appropriate measures to do so. But I will say publicly that in the future if anything like this happens ever again as a Board member I will not sit here and support and endorse any administrator or staff member who embarrasses the district in such an abysmal level. We are lucky that this is not costing us in dollars by the hair of our chin in being able to move through that. I just quickly want to say a sincere thanks to some people who will be leaving our administrative and teaching community. I know Arthur Harris who is a member over in the central office at 90 Delaware will be retiring. I've known Mr. Harris since I was a high school student. He's been a great mentor and individual in this district and he will be missed, as well as my own teachers at Rosa Parks High School. We are losing about four or five teachers because of the actions of the Governor and

Page 14 06/16/10 those teachers will certainly be missed. So to my teachers, Ms. Nambe, Mr. Ruth, George Deraney, and Sue Glick, you will be missed and I thank you sincerely. Thank you, Mr. President.

Comm. Best: Thank you, Mr. Irving. Before we continue, I just wanted to let whosever car this is know that there is a blue Honda Pilot parked right outside in the circle. Your lights are on.

Comm. Kerr: I, too, want to congratulate all the teachers who were honored this evening. I want to thank them for their service to this district. Thank you, Mr. President. That's my comment.

Comm. Mendez: I also want to congratulate all the Teachers of the Year and all the principals for their hard work. Thanks for the hard work on behalf of our children definitely. I want to congratulate all the nurses for the great news that they received today and I hope we continue receiving more news for all those teachers that we need to bring back to the district. I also was invited to the Hispanic Heritage Month celebration for School 28. It was truly an honor for me to be there and see all the hard work that they put together and how friendly and what a warm welcome they give to all the parents in the community. I just mentioned this because that's something that we have to start working hard on, the staff that we have in the district. We have to make sure that we give the parents a warm welcome. We have to make sure that parents feel welcome in the schools because bringing parents back to school and getting them involved is how we are going to start making changes and helping our children with their education. We have to remember that those buildings belong to the children and the community not somebody else. We have to keep that in mind and we work on behalf of our children all the time. We have to keep that in mind. Also Mr. President, I want to congratulate the Paterson Adult Education School for their graduation this past June 14. I was so excited to be here to be part of the program and I truly say that we have to continue supporting adult education. That‟s a second chance in life that those young folks have to move on in life. From the bottom of my heart I want to congratulate them. I also want to congratulate Dr. Awadallah for inviting me and some of the Board members to the graduation celebration last June 12. It was a great job. Congratulations for you and the principal. It was a very outstanding job. Thank you for inviting me there. Thank you, Mr. President.

Comm. Guzman: I also as well as all my other fellow Board members would like to congratulate all of our teachers that were recognized today and thank them from the bottom of my heart for the time and dedication that they provide our children with valuable information that will help them towards their future. My hat definitely goes off to them for the job that they do. I want to thank the nurses that are here with us today and tell them that it gives me a little sense of relief to know that our children will have you there at their schools this upcoming September. Being an asthmatic, because I am asthmatic, and having been asthmatic when I was in school I know the importance of having a nurse there at the time of an asthma attack. No one can describe that feeling unless you are an asthmatic and I truly commend you for the job that you do. Me, being an asthmatic, I know the work that you guys do. Thank you. I would like to congratulate the Paterson Adult School graduates that had their graduation this past Monday, June 14 here at John F. Kennedy High School. I congratulate them for putting the time and effort into their education. Also, my congratulations go to the Arabic school graduation which was held this past Saturday as some of my other Board members have discussed. It was held at School 9. We were invited by Dr. Hani Awadallah. It was truly a pleasure to be there. Thank you for welcoming us. We experienced cultural dances and fashion shows. We even got to see Dr. Evans with a couple of moves

Page 15 06/16/10 there. I didn't record him so I'm not going to say anything. We enjoyed some very delicious food and we cannot forget the humus. So we were there. Thank you very much. We look forward to being there in the upcoming years. I would also like to thank Ms. Angela Clark from New Roberto Clemente for inviting me as a guest speaker to the induction ceremony of the Junior National Honor Society this past Friday. It was indeed a very nice event where we saw our children very excited being inducted into the Junior National Honor Society. To Mr. Ray Gonzalez, I wish you the best on your new job offering. Thank you for everything you have provided to our district during the tenure that you‟ve been here. Like Dr. Evans said, you will be missed. Finally, our dear student from PANTHER Academy, Marqweesha Guthrie that was here, she had tears coming down my eyes and I was trying to cover them up. What can I say? She is such an outstanding young lady. I met her a couple of years back and she always expresses her concern. She is very active in our community, very active in our Board meetings, and I want to say thank you to her – I know she is not here, she had to go – for always staying involved and for constantly staying in communication with us. I'm very proud of her and it's students like her that make us proud of being in this Paterson Public School District. I want to wish everyone a safe summer. I know it's our last Board meeting so I want to wish everyone a safe summer. Thank you, Mr. President.

Comm. Rodriguez: I want to start by saying that I'm saddened to learn that one of our most talented, young, and highly educated employees will be leaving the district. Mr. Gonzalez is a person who has been bringing a lot of new, fresh, and most importantly effective ideas to our district. So Mr. Gonzalez, I just want to say thank you for your service. Thank you for your dedication throughout the time that you‟ve been with us in the district. I'm sure that you are leaving behind big shoes to fill. I guess we should start that process because it's not going to be an easy selection, Dr. Evans. In terms of the nurses, you expressed yourself loud and clear and I share your views and ideas that the health and safety of our students is a top priority. I'm sure that other members of the Board also share that idea as well as the administration and I'm glad that we are delivering the news today to each one of you that you are going to be returning. Not just congratulations to you, but congratulations to our students because they will be better protected as they are today for the quality service that you provide on a day-by- day basis. So thank you very much for your service. On May 22 many of us Board members drove down to Trenton to support the rally against the cuts that are affecting not just Paterson, but many districts in the State of New Jersey. As promised, I was there hand-to-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder with the teachers because those cuts are affecting every single one of us. As I also said, we are together in this. But together means that we have to support each other, we have to help each other, and most importantly we have to be honest with each other. I said before that we have a big opportunity to save 110 teaching positions that right now are in the hands of the PEA. At this point I would like to hear from the teacher‟s association for somebody to speak about that 110 families that we can return their jobs for next year. We are talking about 110 highly qualified individuals who provide services to our children and 110 families that we can still put food on their table. The ball is in your court. We are doing our part. We need you to help us do your part so we are together in this. Finally, I want to congratulate all the teachers that were recognized tonight. Make no mistake - you are the backbone of our system. We are really proud of the service that you are providing to our children and we are really proud of you for the service, quality, and your dedication on a day-by-day basis. Thank you very much, Mr. President, and have a good night.

Comm. Simmons: First, I just want to echo the sentiments of Comm. Irving. I think that going forward we need to be careful and make sure that we are with regards to the RIF process conducting the process the right way. I'm glad that we aren't paying a price

Page 16 06/16/10 monetarily, although that still remains to be seen. Also, I'd like to congratulate all of the teachers that were honored and awarded the Teachers of the Year, as well as Ms. Marqweesha Guthrie. Congratulations. I wish you all success on your future endeavors. To Mr. Ray Gonzalez, congratulations and I wish you too all the success on your future endeavors.

Comm. Taylor: I'd like to say to all the teachers that worked very hard all year that I hope recognizing you for the evening will just not stop there. You work all year and you've been working for years. I know some of you have been here for many years to receive this award and that's good. The other teachers have received the accolades before, but I congratulate the ones that were here tonight. I'd also like to say that Marqweesha is a young person who learned a lot in school but her mother was her basic teacher and started her on her way. With the strength of her mother she was sent to school ready to learn. While she was here she learned many lessons on how to take care of herself, how to work with groups, and how to speak with groups and for groups. She learned her civic lessons well and she learned the democratic process well. I believe when she goes on to her college that she will take that with her. We are happy to send her away from Paterson with that knowledge and with that strength. It wasn‟t just us, it was her mother. And she said, it was many of us who stood in support of her. I think that she is a good picture of what can happen here and has happened. There are many children like her that we don't lift up. But I say that she‟s a great student and a great person. I'd like to thank all the teachers, people, and administrators that are retiring that have given your many hours. I know many of the teachers that are retiring because of the pressure and the frustration of what has happened in the last few months and the last year. Our behavior has not been good to each other. So I feel that I need to say thank you to those people who have worked for many years, worked for the district, for the children, and for families on their behalf. I received a lot of letters from the nurses. I did my talk and I thank you for what you‟ve done. Many nurses helped me while I was a principal. I couldn't have done most of what I did without a good nurse backing me up on my side, in front, and all around. So I thank the nurses. When I came on the nurses just had to be a registered nurse. Later on they had to be certified school nurses and a lot of nurses had to go back. Some of you came in with your certification. I know that. A nurse is a great person to have around. Not only do you do your work that is medical or taking care of the needs that are medical, but you do know how to teach and you did do lessons for the students. You do lessons for the students. So it's not just that office away from everyone. You are part of the school climate, the school environment, and the school of children. So I thank you for that. There are a lot of things that are going to happen that are going to change in our district this year and we need everyone‟s help, especially parents. We need you to come and work with us. This should not be a vacuum. These forums that Dr. Evans is pulling together - please be at them. It was embarrassing to see him standing there with just most of his staff to talk about arrangements for Eastside High School and for some other activities, standing there in the wilderness without parents. That is sad. Parents need to come out and arrange how you want things to happen for your children. Thank you. Good night.

Comm. Best: I just had a couple of more remarks. Everyone has been giving kudos to Marqweesha and I have to do it as well. Marqweesha is actually the Vice President of the Paterson Youth Council. It's a group of outstanding young people throughout the City of Paterson that I have an opportunity of advising. They come together weekly to discuss issues that are most important to them and then create action plans on how to go about solving many of the issues that they face as young people in the City of Paterson. Marqweesha is one of our best members. She is very outstanding, very outspoken. She has encouraged several of her friends to join from PANTHER

Page 17 06/16/10 Academy. I'd like to thank the principal for always keeping our meeting full with students from PANTHER Academy. Ms. Taylor stole a little bit of my thunder talking about Marqweesha‟s mother. She is an outstanding woman. She is an employee of Paterson Public Schools and she doesn't just talk about the importance of education and being involved as a citizen. She actually shows it. Beyond this educational realm there are serious issues that we face in the City of Paterson. Marqweesha and her mother were at the forefront of the violence that was occurring last summer, all of the shootings in Paterson. They were there as a team, mother and daughter. So I would like to commend both of them and wish them the best of luck in Florida where they will be going next year. One of the things that led me to be the advisor for the Paterson Youth Council was the fact that when I was a student in Paterson I also belonged to a youth council. My advisor for the youth council happens to be retiring this year and he is here with us tonight, Dr. Joseph Fulmore. Dr. Fulmore, I would like to thank you for literally saving my life. I tell people all the time that if it weren't for people like Dr. Fulmore, Bernie Bristow, Kemper McDowell, Sharon Smith, Linda Smith, Jeanette Lyde, and different people in the community who really saw potential in me as a young person, who guided me, mentored me, and allowed me to become the first person in my family to graduate college and made sure once I got the degree that I came back to Paterson and put it to work. I try to partake that information that I learned from them when I work with young people today. So thank you, Dr. Fulmore, and congratulations to Marqweesha. I'd also like to congratulate Mr. Gonzalez and tell him that he will be missed. I worked with Ray in the curriculum committee. We changed the format around of the meeting and Ray was right on board to help us out. We asked that Ray actually type up the minutes for all of the meetings and he has done an outstanding job in providing the Board with all of the information we could ever want and more, and making recommendations. I think we are really moving forward thanks to him. So thank you, Mr. Gonzalez.

California Service-Learning Programs (Ammon, Furco, Chi & Middaugh, 2001) Researchers found that academic impacts were related to clarity of academic goals and activities, scope, and support through focused reflection.

Civic Engagement and High School Academic Process: An Analysis Using NELS Data (Davila & Mora, 2007) A review of the data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS) suggested that participation in civic engagement activities including voluntary community service, service-learning, and student government during high school years enhanced academic achievement.

Philadelphia Need in Deed Initiative Study (Billig, 2003) Sixth-grade students who participated in the service-learning approach had statistically significantly higher scores on the Terra Nova, a standardized test, in the areas of science and language arts; however, the same effects were not found for other grade levels. Data analyses showed that the differences may be attributable to the content and quality of the service-learning experience.

Role of Service-Learning in Enhancing Student Achievement (Furco, 2007) A review of research indicates that high quality services-learning, because of its utilization of effective, experimental learning strategies, can enhance academic outcomes in such content areas as reading, writing, mathematics, and science. A variety of students have shown evidence of a range of achievement-related benefits from service-learning, including improved attendance, higher grade point averages, enhanced preparation for the workforce, enhanced awareness and understanding of social issues, greater motivation for learning, and heightened engagement in prosocial behaviors; and

These services can be direct (turnkey learning, visiting elderly, adopt-a-block, developing a school/community garden), indirect (fundraisers, toy drives, clean ups), or advocacy (petitioning, lobbying, supporting). The third component is reflection regarding what learning took place as a result of the service. The reaction to the program will be analyzed. The final stage is recognition of the contributions made by the student; and

WHEREAS, student benefits include self worth, independence, responsibility, tolerance and the acceptance of challenges. Character education occurs and children learn basic human values such as honesty, kindness, generosity, courage, freedom, equality and respect.

It was moved by Comm. Taylor, seconded by Comm. Irving that Resolution Nos. A-1 through A-44 be adopted. On roll call all members voted as follows:

Comm. Guzman: Yes, but I abstain on anything that has to do with the City of Paterson.

Comm. Hodges: Absent.

Comm. Irving: Yes.

Comm. Kerr: My vote is no on A-8 and no on A-10. I think I have a question on A-20. It‟s not a question but a recommendation. The third „whereas‟ where it says that the partners in this food service school endeavor will be Paterson Public Schools, Paterson Education Fund, and the children…(end of tape) (Beginning of new tape)…recommend that somehow we find a way of inserting the Board into this because it seems to me that there are two separate entities when it comes to the Board and when it comes to the administration. So if you have here the Paterson Public Schools, that doesn't necessarily mean the Board. So I want the Board to be inserted in here so that every discussion at every level the Board will be full partners. If that can be done then I will support it. If that cannot be done, I will not be able to support this resolution. That's it and I'm yes with the rest.

Comm. Best: I'm going to ask legal if we can make an amendment right now. Or is it too late? Do we need to continue with the motion?

Page 46 06/16/10

Mr. Sayovitz: I would separate out that particular motion from the master motion. First separate and get a second on separating per Robert‟s Rules. Once it‟s separated then you can make a motion to amend.

Comm. Best: Do we have to continue? The original motion was A-1 through A-44.

Mr. Sayovitz: You are already in a roll call.

Comm. Best: So we are in roll call now. Can we bring it back afterwards and revote on it?

Mr. Sayovitz: I'm sorry. It's really too late to do that because of the roll call.

Comm. Best: Thank you. So Comm. Kerr, your vote for that particular action item was no?

Comm. Kerr: No.

Comm. Mendez: Yes.

Comm. Rodriguez: Yes.

Comm. Simmons: Yes.

Comm. Taylor: All except A-8 because we needed some more information on that. Also, no on A-20 because of the neglect of putting the Board of Education in it, but all the others yes.

Comm. Best: I abstain from A-4, A-41, and all matters dealing with NJCDC or CCSP. I vote no on A-20 and yes to everything else.

Mr. Sayovitz: Can I make a comment just in terms of the procedural question? I think Board members should recognize that when you have a master motion if you do want to make a change to one of the motions, pull it out, separate it out, which you can do, and then make your changes. It's too late once the roll call is going forward. That's the way to do it.

The motion carried.

LEGAL COMMITTEE

Comm. Irving: As I told our colleagues last week at the workshop meeting, I had a meeting with our legal team representation just getting an understanding of the background and history of our legal committee and we will be having a committee meeting in August and have a report for the Board effective the first meeting of the school year. That concludes my report.

FISCAL COMMITTEE

Comm. Kerr: The fiscal committee met on June 14. Members present were Comm. Taylor, Comm. Guzman, Comm. Mendez, and myself. From staff there were Mr. Mark Kramer, Ms. Frances Finkelstein, and Mr. David Buchholtz from the food services department. The reason we met on Monday was to continue our work and our plan of

Page 47 06/16/10 action as was laid out in our meeting of June 3. Mr. Dave Buchholtz, director of food services, was asked by the business administrator to come in and do a presentation to the fiscal committee on the operation of the food services department. In his presentation, Mr. Buchholtz told us that the department has fully recovered from the deficits of three years ago and is now making a profit. He also walked us through the profit and loss statement from which most of our questions to him were generated. He also gave us his year-end projected figures which if everything holds through will be good news for the district. We also went through the school free lunch application program. Although the numbers suggested that we are doing much better than normal, there is still a lot more that needs to be done to further improve the performance of that department. Committee members took special note of Eastside and Kennedy High Schools, both of which have returned less than 75% of their free lunch applications. The substantial point here is that failure to turn in or hover around the 95% area is costing the district a lot of money. So this is an area where we would like the administration to focus in on because we are living in a difficult financial time. The administration brought to the committee three resolutions for discussion. The first one was a resolution to place a cell tower at School 27. Resolution number two was about implementing a premium only section 125 plan. The third resolution was to establish a deposit into maintenance of emergency reserve. These were resolutions that Dr. Evans asked his fiscal representatives to present to the Board for its discussion. Regarding placing a cell tower at School 27, we had four Board members there and it was just to float the idea. But four Board members at that meeting turned it down, so I don't think the administration will be presenting it for further discussion. There were a lot of negatives that were brought up at our meeting concerning that situation. The committee was also informed that the district has started conducting 1.5% of gross salary of the newly implemented contribution to the health benefits. Currently the amount of the deduction is post-tax. That means that the amount being deducted from the gross salary is being taxed. The implementation of a premium only section 125 plan will give employees the opportunity to have their deduction pre-tax. That means that the amount being deducted from the gross salaries will not be taxed. I will give you an example. An example of this would be that if anybody in the district makes $100,000 they would not have to pay tax on $100,000. They would pay tax on $98,500 because the 1.5% would be deducted before you apply the tax rate. So this is one of the resolutions that the Board supports. We do support this and we give our blessing to the administration on this one. I will not go into the other resolution. I think that is something that we may want to deal with in some closed session. That takes care of the minutes for our last meeting. The fiscal committee is presenting for the consideration of the Board tonight Resolutions Nos. C-1 through C-32.

Comm. Kerr reported that the Fiscal Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution Nos. C-1 through C-32:

Page 70 06/16/10

Comm. Irving: On C-14, approve award of contract for Verizon Network Integration for the Sysco Smart Net, can somebody just clarify for me, is that for use of teleconferencing for Sysco Network? Is that what we are talking about?

Dr. Evans: I see Mr. Kramer and I see Mr. Gonzalez. But I was also looking for staff in the technology department and I don't know that either one of them are sure of what the answer to that question is. Technology with Mr. Barca would actually be the person that we need to get to for an answer.

Comm. Irving: I'm not going to be able to say yes to that. I wonder if it is Sysco Integrated Teleconferencing. My question is how often do we use this technology? Just my experience with this Board is that I'm the only one who actually uses the vehicle of teleconferencing for phone conference. If I'm the only one who is using that, I'm wondering if we are really using the Smart Net technology. If so, the cost of $300,000 is something that I just want to know about. Nobody can answer that for me now.

Dr. Evans: I can answer part of what you are asking. We teleconference quite a bit. We have phone conferences. I have them on a very regular basis, three-way and four- way teleconferences in our offices. So that part of the question I know the answer to.

Comm. Irving: But is this the Sysco video conference? Or are we talking about phone conferencing?

Dr. Evans: That I can't answer. I have not used the video conferencing. I've used the telephone conferencing.

Comm. Irving: Okay. I have what I need. Thank you.

On roll call all members voted as follows:

Comm. Guzman: Yes, but I abstain on anything having to do with the City of Paterson.

POLICY COMMITTEE

Comm. Simmons: The policy committee met on Tuesday, June 1 at 6:00 p.m. Board members in attendance were myself, Comm. Guzman, Comm. Hodges, Comm. Irving by teleconference, and Dr. Evans was the district representative in attendance. The report was read into the record at the workshop meeting and copies were given to each Board member. The highlights are a discussion surrounding the student code of conduct and the need for revision that is going to occur this fall. The committee received an overview of the role and work of the policy committee. We will be receiving the policy alerts as soon as they are available and we will receive them electronically. Our agenda centered around six policies from the most recent policy alert and two policies that were referred by the staff. It was agreed that seven of those policies be submitted for first reading and one be pulled. We were given information concerning

Page 74 06/16/10 the policies that were being revised due to new regulations adopted by the Department of Education. I was copied on three memorandums that went to staff requesting that the policy committee be provided answers to various questions that were asked at the meeting. For the most part we received the answers to those questions. We will be able to discuss the responses to those questions in depth at the next committee meeting. It was the consensus of the committee that for the first reading at tonight‟s meeting the Board members will have the opportunity to make suggestions prior to the second reading in August. The public will have the chance to comment on our next workshop. The policies on the table are for public review. Our meeting adjourned at approximately 6:45 p.m.

It was moved by Comm. Best, seconded by Comm. Taylor that Resolution No. F-1 be adopted. On roll call all members voted as follows:

Comm. Guzman: Yes.

Comm. Hodges: I continue to have problems with the number of personnel decisions that are being made in this district. I think that if you are going to make progress then you have to make progress. You can't half-step. Unfortunately, I see us continuing to do that and I don't want my vote to be in any way confused with supporting the personnel decisions that I have seen being made. Even though we have no personnel responsibilities, I want it very clear that I object and therefore I'm voting a resounding no.

Comm. Irving: I'm going to vote yes, but the administration knows very clearly how I feel about this process and what we've gone through. It's my expectation that the

Page 127 06/16/10 personnel committee will continue to execute their thoughts and feelings that several have had about the faith of the people who work in that division.

Comm. Kerr: My vote will indicate that I'm in receipt of the information, not in support of the information. So my vote is yes indicating that I did receive the information.

Comm. Mendez: Yes.

Comm. Rodriguez: As Comm. Kerr indicated, the vote is to acknowledge that we've received the information. That's all it is and we did receive the information. So my vote is yes.

Comm. Simmons: Yes.

Comm. Taylor: That is all we need to do, to say that we have received the information. That's what we are going to do, receive it. Yes.

Comm. Best: Yes.

The motion carried.

Comm. Guzman: As the Board member said, this is just confirming that we've received them.

OTHER BUSINESS

NJQSAC COMMITTEE

Comm. Best: In addition to our standing committees we also have several subcommittees that we have established, NJQSAC, Parent/Community, and Joint Education with the City of Paterson. As way of NJQSAC committee report, the committee was unable to have a meeting due to conflicts with the staff schedule. However, I have been in communication with the administration around QSAC. The QSAC team from the county is currently in the district. They arrived yesterday and will be here until tomorrow to evaluate the Board in the six-month evaluation process based upon our last review that we had. So far I'm hearing that it's going well. I met with them yesterday. However, there is one action item that we do need to approve that was missed in our last evaluation. Six months ago we didn't receive full credit for doing a Board evaluation, although we remember that we all did a Board evaluation and we voted on the Board self-evaluation. However, in addition to the Board self-evaluation we also needed to approve a Board professional corrective action plan that goes along with that. So before you today we have for approval a Board corrective action plan that will be discussed on July 1 at our Board retreat with the New Jersey School Boards Association. I would like to accept a motion for G-1.

Comm. Best reported that the NJQSAC Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution No. G-1:

Resolution No. G-1

WHEREAS, the intention of the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJQSAC) is to assure compliance with the statutes and regulations that govern schools and districts in New Jersey and to lead the school community into reflection on the performance of its students and revision of its practices; and

Page 128 06/16/10

WHEREAS, school districts that scored below 80% in any area (Operations Management, Instruction and Program, Fiscal Management, Personnel, Governance) of the NJQSAC process must complete an improvement plan; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Education approved an improvement plan on March 3, 2010, for submission to the New Jersey Department of Education; and

WHEREAS, subsequently the Board of Education conducted a self evaluation with assistance from New Jersey Schools Boards Association and in compliance with NJQSAC; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Education has scheduled a Board retreat for July 1, 2010, to review the Board‟s Professional Development Improvement Plan for the purpose of increasing board knowledge, skills and effectiveness in governance; now

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Paterson Board of Education approves the Professional Development Improvement Plan based on the Board‟s Self Evaluation in the area of Governance, for implementation in the 2010-2011 school year.

It was moved by Comm. Rodriguez, seconded by Comm. Guzman that Resolution No. G-1 be adopted.

Comm. Taylor: I would like to know who developed our action plan.

Comm. Best: It was developed in partnership between myself, Dr. Merachnik, and Judy Cohen from the administration. It's based upon the Board comments from the Board self-evaluation that we did. We just took out whatever segments that the Board felt we needed improvement on. So everywhere we felt we needed improvement we associated...

Comm. Taylor: Mr. President, I have no problem with Ms. Cohen and Dr. Merachnik. This is Board activity and this affects us. I looked at it a few minutes ago and it does take care of the finance piece that we were all talking about. It does take care of testing and assessment. There is a piece in there. It does talk about parental involvement and community. There is a piece there. It does talk about us behaving ourselves. There are eight for Board behavior. That's how I interpret that. It says to improve the relations between Board members so that all can work together in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. Then you have all these listed underneath. There is a lot to accomplish here, plus all the other things we have to do. So I understand this and I guess you said you gleaned it. How long do we have before we can say yes to this?

Comm. Best: Today.

Comm. Taylor: You have to have it in today?

Comm. Best: The team is currently evaluating it right now. If you would like – I know it's short notice – we can accept amendments from the floor right now. But this will also be discussed with the New Jersey School Boards at our Board retreat. We were trying to wait for our Board retreat in order to do this.

Comm. Taylor: Can we renovate it at our retreat?

Comm. Best: Yes.

Page 129 06/16/10

Comm. Taylor: If any Board member finds a problem it can be renovated because this was on my table tonight. So I have no problem with Dr. Merachnik and Ms. Cohen working on this and trying to bring it together and gleaning from what we all said in our self-evaluation. If that's what we need to do and we are given that privilege then I will accept this tonight, if it has to be tonight. My other comment is that I understand the team was in on Monday of this week. It was one person from the county and there wasn‟t a hard copy of what they had done. They had come in and left a verbal message with our finance department – Mr. Kerr can verify this – that everything was going well and we were doing very well. So I asked our finance people to make sure whenever people come from the county to our district you get a hard copy of what they said when they left out. The last time they left out they told us we were doing very well and we only had to get so many more points and the next time we heard from them we had points taken away until we were back to almost zero. So I think whenever anyone from the county or the state sets foot in this district we need a hard copy. Every Board member should be sent a message that they are here and this is what they said on this first day. We need it. I don't want to play with this anymore. The last time they said they were going to come in six months. Then they were going to come on this date. Then they were going to come on that date. They keep changing at county. I don't know if they know what they are doing, but I know at this point we know what we‟re doing. Do you understand me? So what I need whenever they come in and they talk to you, or Dr. Evans, or to a department in this district, I want a hard copy flashed to me right away on an e-mail and a piece of paper. I want a piece of paper too. You do your electronic, but give me paper and the electronic in case my stuff is down or crashed. But I'm telling you, I'm not taking the state or the county word anymore. I'm having a problem here. I don't like my points taken away. If I have to have 88 or 90 I want my 90, especially if I've worked hard for it. Only a few people come in who don't know what they‟re doing telling me you didn't do it this way or that way. I know Dr. Evans has worked hard with his administrative staff and leadership team to make sure all those files are ready for them to look at and to review and while our staff is here. Do you notice they come in during graduation, exam time, and all that? Our supervisors and directors are running all around trying to get assessments done and trying to get all the paperwork together. We are also going through a transition. So you understand this is not easy and they come in and say they want to look at our papers. It's a good thing we‟re all at Delaware Avenue, not the way we were last year in different places all over the city. There are academics and places that are in different places, but most of this is at Delaware Avenue centralized there. So I'm saying to you if they come in I want a hard copy of what they did while they were here and who they were. I want to know their credentials as well. You have to know my credentials and you have to get a resume of me to run on this Board? I need to see who is evaluating us in the district. How much work have they done with boards of education and how much work have they done in assessing boards of education? I need to know that. This Board needs to know that to do a comprehensive job when they‟re looking at these different things that the state requires of us. We are a state body. I think we understand our state issues better than the county.

Comm. Rodriguez: I just want to commend you and thank you for being proactive and putting this together for us so we can have it on time for the evaluators. You put it in your bag and you spent time with the administration to put this together and I personally appreciate it.

Comm. Hodges: Is there a QSAC committee?

Comm. Best: Yes there is.

Page 130 06/16/10

Comm. Hodges: Did the QSAC committee discuss this issue?

Comm. Best: Unfortunately not. We were trying to schedule a QSAC committee meeting but the administrative staff wasn‟t available for the time that we had scheduled and we had to postpone the meeting.

Comm. Taylor: I would like to say thank you for getting the little piece of paper together because I didn't know county was in here or state was back in here until Monday. Tuesday night is when I knew they were here the day before. So I said what did they leave for us to do because usually they tell us we need to get something straight. So that was QSAC. I think that you got the paper together and I appreciate that because none of these Board members would have known that they were in here again. We knew they were coming back, but when they were coming back we didn‟t know. That's what I'm saying. I appreciate it, Dr. Evans, and that you keep your stuff all together and you have your staff saying when they come if they‟re looking for this, give it to them and let them look at it. I appreciate that, but like Dr. Hodges is saying, the QSAC group didn't meet. We are in violation right there. Do you understand that? Thank you.

Comm. Best: Again, I appreciate the comments in putting this document together, but I really have to commend Dr. Merachnik and Judy Cohen who recognized that we were missing this aspect of it and were able to get it to me two days ago. We made a couple of corrections and submitted it to the rest of the Board and we wanted to have an opportunity to discuss it tonight. We have to have this in, but we are at our Board retreat going to discuss it in detail with the State Board Association and make any amendments or corrections that we have to make at that time.

On roll call all members voted as follows:

Comm. Guzman: Yes.

Comm. Hodges: No.

Comm. Irving: Yes.

Comm. Kerr: I'm going to abstain.

Comm. Mendez: Yes.

Comm. Rodriguez: Yes.

Comm. Simmons: Yes.

Comm. Taylor: No.

Comm. Best: Yes.

The motion carried.

PARENT/COMMUNITY COMMITTEE

Comm. Kerr: The Parent/Community Committee met on May 27. Members present were Comm. Best and myself. Members absent were Comm. Guzman and Comm. Rodriguez. Representing the administration we had Mr. Kemper McDowell. The

Page 131 06/16/10 purpose of our meeting was to formulate an agenda for the ensuing year to foster greater parental/community engagement in our district. From the discussion we had it was agreed upon that the committee would advance and pursue only projects that the goals were clearly achievable and the outcomes measurable. By so doing we‟ll be able to at the end of the period reasonably assess our progress or lack thereof. So in keeping with these objectives it was decided that we focus on the following four projects for this year. Project #1: The newsletter. The committee made a decision to publish three newsletters for this year capturing the voice of the Board in matters relevant to strengthening the educational offering in the district. Subjects mentioned to receive special coverage in these publications are (A) classroom instruction – what good instruction looks like and how we can improve our quality, (B) student performance – how to stimulate better academic performance at the student level, (C) quality of parental guidance – how we can better connect with our parents on the need to support their children‟s educational development. Regarding the newsletter it was decided that we will publish in the months of September, December, and April. Project #2: PTOs. In order to help build and strengthen the PTOs it was recommended that the Board members become active within these groups. Board members will be asked to attend meetings and report out to the Board on the activities of each group and make recommendation when necessary to improve them. Mr. Kemper McDowell will supply the committee with a list of scheduled meeting dates after which Board members will be assigned dates and schools to visit. Project #3: Parent recognition breakfast. The committee has made a decision to again work in concert with the Parent Resource Center in hosting this year‟s parent recognition breakfast. Again, the focus will be to spotlight parents who have and are still making a difference in our district. Project #4: Parental motivational thrust. Based on the low level of parental participation in the district and the negative impact it is having on student achievement, it was decided to recommend to the Board the possibility of setting aside time for scheduled home visits to some of our most difficult and troubled students. This is very important. The idea is to reinforce the message that we do care about how our children are doing. Hopefully by demonstrating that concern we will win the confidence and support of some of our parents. We also discussed the idea of launching a program where we ask model parents to reach out to other parents who are less inclined to get involved in the parent/teacher association and other related programs in the district. We felt that parents talking to parents about education in this district would make a tremendous difference in our district. Mr. President, that's the report for the Parent Resource Center. Now I'm making a personal appeal to all Board members because this is very important and this is something that is very deep and close and central to my heart and what I believe we should be doing in the district. Reach out to parents and as the goal says leave no kid behind, we can't leave any parent behind because if we leave the parent behind you‟re going to leave the kids behind. So we want every Board member to be supportive and to be committed to whatever task you will be assigned. So we are asking for full partnership in this. Thank you, Mr. President.

GOVERNMENT JOINT EDUCATION COMMITTEE

Comm. Best: Thank you, Comm. Kerr. That report was for information purposes only. The last committee report is the Government Joint Education Committee. As we all know, we recently had an election and on July 1 will be the inauguration of a new Mayor and at least one new City Council person. The other vote has yet to be decided. However, we plan on having a Joint Government Education Committee meeting soon after that. That report was for information purposes only.

Page 132 06/16/10 BOARD COMMENTS

Comm. Best: We‟re going to ask for any final comments from Board members and I'm going to start with Comm. Taylor.

Comm. Taylor: I thank all the teachers for the job they‟ve done this year. Next year we hope to improve and make it even better. The transition is going to be a tough one. We‟re going to have to have a lot of extra hours and extra thought put into every program that we‟re going to have. There are quite a few that parents and people in the community need to know about and participate in. Yes, Mr. Kerr, the parents and community need to have these joint efforts all over the place. Have a good summer and enjoy as much as you are able to enjoy safely. Thank you.

Comm. Simmons: I just want to wish everyone a happy and safe summer. Good night.

Comm. Rodriguez: At the end of the Board meeting I'm going to be taking some contributions from each Board member. That money is going to be donated to the district to pay the electric bill. Hopefully we can have air conditioning in our next Board meeting. I had to resuscitate Comm. Simmons twice and the lawyer once. So hopefully we can have an air conditioner. Thank you, Mr. President.

Comm. Guzman: I hope you have certification for those resuscitations, Comm. Rodriguez. I would like to wish all of our students a happy summer and congratulations to our Class of 2010. Good night.

Comm. Mendez: Mr. Gonzalez, I wish you the best of luck in your new project. You‟re good at what you do. I also want to say that we have to continue working together hand-by-hand on behalf of our children. I hear that we have been talking about parental involvement and community involvement here. It‟s really sad when I hear parents go to a school and they leave the school without any answer because nobody helped those parents. I don't want to hear that again and we have to make sure that when we see a parent going to a school that we give those parents a warm welcome and help that parent with any information about their children. We have to make sure that we get the community involved in our children‟s education. I want to wish a happy summer to all the community in the City of Paterson.

Comm. Kerr: Have a good summer everybody. Thank you, Mr. President.

Comm. Irving: I want to extend to the community a blessed summer. I'm excited about the new opportunities for the fall for our district, for the possible results of QSAC, and for the new Eastside High School. I see Vivian Gaines here, one of our new principals. Ms. Gaines, you have my full support if you need anything in making sure that your portion of the school gets off to the start you need. Also to Dr. Fulmore, who I just saw around, sir you‟ve been a wonderful member of this administration. You will be missed. We‟ll see you in September.

Comm. Hodges: I wish the staff, students, and parents a wonderful summer. Thank you.

Dr. Evans: I just want to briefly comment a few seconds about Dr. Fulmore‟s retirement. It's been announced already that he is retiring at the end of this year. I purposefully didn't comment on it myself because I assure you this is not his last Board meeting.

Page 133 06/16/10 Comm. Best: Thank you, Dr. Evans. I just wanted to remind the community again of the community forum. We will still be meeting over the course of the summer. So June 23, 2010 at International High School will be our community forum. There is another community forum around Eastside High School on June 28 at 6:30 p.m. as well. Lastly, I wanted to remind the community of the African-American Day Parade on June 19 down Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. I think there will be floats and the new Councilman-at-Large Benjie Wimberly will be one of the grand marshals along with the President of the NAACP Ms. Linda Smith. I would like to thank the Board for all of their work and commitment in running an effective and efficient Board meeting. That being said, I'll now ask for a motion to adjourn.

It was moved by Comm. Simmons, seconded by Comm. Guzman that the meeting be adjourned. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:58 p.m.
