BOARD PRESIDENT'S REPORT

Ms. Stewart explained the interview process for the interim Board vacancy position (for term August 30- January 5, 2017). Out of the seven applicants who submitted letters of interest, four were available for interviews on August 23. The Board was pleased with the caliber of the candidates. The Board reviewed and considered all submitted letters of interest and resumes, and decided to appoint Mr. Richard Press, former Board member and Board President, considering the position is only for four months and the challenging learning curve needed in such a short time. Ms. Stewart stated that normally the Board prefers to appoint a new member for an interim position to give them the experience and opportunity to join the Board in the future, as was the case with Ms. Horan and Ms. Rothstein. Ms. Stewart stated that the Board is very fortunate to have Mr. Press fill the vacancy as he is a highly qualified Board trustee and caring of the Tenafly community.

Ms. Stewart asked the Board for motions for Resolution B-1.

PRESENTATION

PRIDE SURVEY RESULTS

Before the presentation, Ms. Laudicina reminded the Board that back in December, our 81h, 1oth and 1ih graders participated, with parental consent, in the Pride Survey which measures attitudes and behaviors regarding substances and substance abuse.

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of August 30, 2016 Page4 Dr. Katherine Roberts, Adjunct Associate Professor from Columbia University, and Ms. Susan Maher, Educational Health Consultant and Co-Director ofWellcore, presented the survey results. Ms. Maher explained that the Pride Survey, based on a national survey, is taken across the country and gives a snapshot of students' use of substances, their perception of harm of these substances, their parents opinions on the subject, and if their parents are discussing this subject with their children. The survey is a grade baseline data to receive funding from the federal government for school and community programs. Dr. Roberts described the results of the survey and overall trends of the Tenafly school district, and gave suggestions on what to focus on for further education on preventing substance abuse. Dr. Roberts stated the survey is a good way to see what prevention and intervention programs districts may need. The participation rate in our district was about 30% of our student population, which is considered a large portion surveyed. The survey is an active consent or "Opt In" survey requiring signatures.

Dr. Roberts explained that the results of the Tenafly district survey are compared to the national survey results. Nationally, the three major substances of use, in order, are alcohol, marijuana, and e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes are more popular and have basically replaced tobacco product use among students. Following the chart results for alcohol use, Dr. Roberts stated the 1ih grade results for Tenafly are of concern, as they are significantly higher than the national level; and she suggested the message about binge drinking should be addressed in our school district. The national survey shows that the higher socio-economic areas have higher alcohol use. The survey also shows the demographics of areas. Dr. Roberts added that she is surprised Bergen County does not have a county-wide survey, as other state counties have.

Dr. Roberts stated the results for cigarette use in Tenafly is very low. It is found that lower income areas have higher cigarette usage. Regarding e-cigarette use, the results are low, however, there is not a lot of research yet on the toxicity and dangers of e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes have been on the market for about two years and marketing is 1 1 increasing. Regarding marijuana use, 8 h and 10 h grade are below the norm for Tenafly, but 1ih grade is a little above the national level. Dr. Roberts stated that higher alcohol use usually goes along with higher marijuana use, and that brain studies & scans show the harmful brain changes with marijuana use. The survey results of students' perception is that marijuana is not harmful. Dr. Roberts stated current legislation is not emphasizing the harmfulness of marijuana.

The survey results for non-prescribed prescription drug use indicate that the Tenafly school district does not have an issue in this regard. On the national studies, questions are asked about the use of individual prescriptions, and Adderal is the most prevalent in 1ih grade nationally. Studies indicate it has been found that college students also use Adderal for helping with concentration.

Dr. Roberts discussed the current and serious problem of prescription drug use leading to Heroin use (i.e.,the pain killer OxyContin is expensive, but Heroin is very cheap). Heroin use traditionally starts with 19-20 year olds (a year or two after high school graduation). NJ has a huge heroin epidemic that needs to be focused on and addressed.

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of August 30, 2016 Page 5 The survey indicates the students' perception of the risk for alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana and prescription drug use. National data has been collected since 1975 regarding perceived risk of occasional marijuana use in 1ih grade, and it shows the lower the perceived risk, the higher the use. In the past 5 years, the perceived risk has been low, and, therefore, it is expected nationally that the use will become higher. Dr. Roberts suggests having health educators discuss with students the risk of marijuana use. The Tenafly survey results for perception of parental disapproval of their children using harmful substances was almost 100% across the three grades.

The conclusions from the Pride Survey results for Tenafly are: • Alcohol use and binge drinking are higher than national norm in 1oth and 1ih grade. • Cigarette and e-cigarettes are lower than national norm in all grades. • Marijuana use is higher than national norm in 1ih grade. • Other illicit drugs, including prescription drugs, as well as heroin, cocaine, and inhalants, are low. • Perception of risk of harm for cigarettes and prescription drugs are high; Kouth appear less concerned about the risk of marijuana use, particularly in 101 grade and 1ih grade. • Overwhelming number of students believe that parents disapprove of all forms of drug use. • Alcohol is perceived to be the easiest substance to get in 81h and 1 ih grades, while marijuana is the easiest in 1oth grade.

Dr. Roberts offered the following recommendations for Tenafly: • Tenafly should continue their vigilance with respect to alcohol and marijuana. • Alcohol use and binge drinking needs to continue to be a focus. • Strategies to reduce marijuana use in 1ih grade are needed. • E-cigarette use is higher than cigarettes so efforts should be concentrated on these devices.

Ms. Maher pointed out that in some national surveys it was indicated that children are not modeling substance use from older siblings, but rather more from their parents' use of alcohol. In addition, students like to fit in and be part of the "Norm." The objective is to change students' perception of the "Norm," and to focus on "Not everyone drinks" in an effort to help reduce drinking.

Ms. Maher discussed the grant that was written for Tenafly by Wellcore (an educational consulting company). If Tenafly does receive a federal grant, educational programs and strategies can be implemented in the schools collaborating with the community and police.

The Board and administration thanked Dr. Roberts and Ms. Maher for their excellent information and presentation.

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of August 30,2016 Page 6 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Superintendent Trager discussed the following topics:

Policy on Drones

Ms. Trager asked the Board if they wished to include a policy on drones, as was suggested by Strauss Esmay. The Board was previously given a hardcopy of the policy to review. This is not a mandated policy, but is voluntary and there are several options:

Option 1: No drones on or above the school property. Option 2: Allow drones on or above our school property, if drones are for school district purposes and owned and operated by an approved contractor, and approved by the Board of Education. Option 3: If drones are for school purposes, they are allowed as long as they are owned by the Board of Education or a resident in the community, but approved by the Board of Education or superintendent or designee.

After a discussion, Board members agreed to include a policy on drones and use Options 2 and 3 for liability purposes. After two readings, the policy will be brought forward as part of the district policies.

Proposed Calendar Change for Professional Development

Ms. Trager discussed the district's %day professional development days. On the present school calendar, there are three% day professional days for our staff. This year, the district has many new projects and programs going on, and training time and discussions are needed for staff (e.g., Chromebook use, possible new middle and high school schedule, implementing new science standards, diversity discussions across the district). Therefore, the administration asked the Board if an additional %professional development day can be added to the calendar, as an exception for this year. January 9, 2017 is a% day professional day, and the administration is requesting the Board to approve a 2-hour delayed opening on January 10, to be able to continue professional training. Ms. Trager added that other days were considered, but ideally administrators felt January 10 was the best option; however, holidays are before and after January 9, and this may pose an issue for the Board and community.

Ms. Trager polled the Board for adding a 2-hour delayed opening on January 10 for professional development. The Board approved this by the following vote:

Yes- 8 Sam A. Bruno No - 0 Janet I. Horan Richard H. Press Abstain- 0 Sherri Rothstein Edward J. Salaski Absent- 1 Mark Aronson April Uram Eileen D. Pleva Lynne W. Stewart

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of August 30,2016 Page 7 A Board resolution will be brought forward to revise the calendar to include the 2-hour delay on January 10 for professional development. The Board requested that the administration fully communicate to the school community of the reasons for this calendar change.

Student Enrollment Report

Ms. Trager gave her report on student enrollments. During the budget process, the district projected 3,589 student enrollments. The actual enrollment figure as of today is 3,669 (this is 80 additional students than anticipated: the breakdown is: 54 students at the elementary level, 20 at the Middle School, and 14 at the High School). Some classes are full at Mackay and Maugham and have been closed for additional enrollments; therefore, 18 students were placed outside of their neighborhood schools. Traditionally, students of the same family are placed at the same school, unless parents wish otherwise. Stillman and Smith did not have this issue. All Kindergarten classes are open for enrollment at all four elementary schools.

Ms. Trager also mentioned that the Tiger Tots Early Childhood program now has 16 enrollments, and the orientation program this morning was wonderful.

NJ Monthly and High School Ratings

Ms. Trager discussed the September edition of NJ Monthly. This edition publishes the ranking for the top 100 high schools in the state. In the past, Tenafly has been ranked #3 and #17. This year Tenafly is ranked #49. There are 8 categories that comprise the ran kings, and Tenafly did well in 6 of the categories. The 2 new categories that Tenafly did not score high in were: (1 )Percent of students in grades 9-12 who enrolled in one Fine and Practical Arts class; and (2)Percent of students who were enrolled in college 16 months after graduation.

The administration is looking into finding answers for the lower scores in the two new categories. One thing the administration discovered was a clerical error, as Tenafly did not correctly code one of our Practical Arts Classes (Public Speaking). It was coded as an English class instead of a Fine and Practical Arts class. This would rnake a big difference, since we have quite a few students in that class. Also discovered was that the rubric NJ Monthly now uses the newest category (2). Ms. Trager stated this new category doesn't fit our student body very well, as there are at least 16 students who attend either an international school, or have deferred their college acceptance until they serve in the Israeli or Korean army, where they are serving presently. 16 students is a high number, and that statistic is not usual in this area, as well as this number is not accounted for in the NJ Monthly's rubric. The administration is also contacting students who NJ Monthly indicated are not in college. So far, those contacted are in fact in college or in an international school.

Ms. Trager stated that as soon as we collect all our data, she is planning on speaking with the editors of NJ Monthly about their methodology and how it is flawed with the unique student body of Tenafly, and schools like Northern Valley, who have always

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of August 30, 2016 Page 8 ranked on the list but are not listed this year. The Ridgewood school rankings have also gone down. Ms. Trager asked Mr. Morrison to attend the September 13 Board meeting to present his report of facts and information.

Ms. Trager said she believes Tenafly High School is good or better than it was when it was ranked #3 and sometimes the rankings do not reflect the reality. Nevertheless, the administration will look carefully at the facts, and if there is a better way to do things we are open to make changes; however, not for ranking reasons or scores, but for student learning purposes. Ms. Trager does want to emphasize, however, that if the methodology NJ Monthly uses is not appropriate for our school, that should be known.

Ms. Trager wished everyone a great start in the upcoming school year and a happy end of summer time with our great weather.

REPORTS AND DISCUSSIONS

School W-SA!HIB Report (Violence. Vandalism. Substance Abuse and HIB Report Period 2 for 2015-16

Ms. Laudicina gave her report on School Violence, Vandalism, Substance Abuse and HIB report, which focused on incidents from Period Two, the second part of the 15-16 school year, January to June. Ms. Laudicina compared these numbers with that from Period One of the same school year which was Sept- Dec 2015.

In Period Two this year, the overall number of [unduplicated] incidents of Violence, Vandalism, Weapons, Substance Abuse and HIB is 13 compared to 4 in Period One. If you recall, we had noticed a decreasing pattern from 29 since 13-14. While 13 ticks up the number from 4, it is still significantly lower than the baseline at 29. Ms. Laudicina will continue to observe this into the next period.

In comparing periods One and Two, of the 13 unduplicated incidents reported in period two, the number of cases of violence is 3 as compared to 2 in Period One. We had 1 incident of vandalism as compared to 0, 1 incident involving weapons as compared to 0, and 2 incidents of substance abuse as compared to 0. These numbers tend to fluctuate from period to period. Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of August 30,2016 Page 9 In Period Two this year, we conducted 16 HIB investigations compared to 8 last period. Of the 16 investigations, 7 were substantiated as HIB compared to 6 last period. As was mentioned last period, we have seen a decline in the number of cases that have been substantiated. This number, while having increased by one, supports a lower trend overall.

The nature of the Period Two HIB allegations involved religion, gender, sexual orientation and other distinguishing characteristics. Keep in mind that more than one of these may have been involved in a single incident. The modes through which HIB were communicated included gesture, verbal, physical and electronic. Again, more than one mode might have been used for a single incident. Disciplinary actions taken against offenders included detention, out of school suspension, and suspension of privileges, along with other school level consequences, commensurate with the code of conduct. Remedial actions provided for offenders included individual counseling, student conferences, and parent conferences. Remedial actions provided for victims included counseling, parent conferences, schedule changes, and adult student mentoring. These incidents took place both on and off school grounds.

As we begin a new school year, we continue to focus on providing our students with a respectful and productive environment not only for learning but for growing. There are many social and emotional variables that impact student behavior. Through professional development and discussions, in addition to ongoing partnerships with parents, we are motivated towards advancing our understanding of HIB and the ways in which the home and school can provide the best guidance for deterring negative behaviors in our youngsters. As always, our primary and cooperative objective is to keep each child physically and emotionally safe in our schools.

NEW BUSINESS

Ms. Stewart asked the Board if they wished to introduce any new business for discussion at future meetings.

Minutes of the Regular Public Meeting of August 30, 2016 Page 10 Mr. Bruno asked the Board to consider discussion on having a conference call or pod cast for agenda set meetings so Board members, not in attendance, can view and be included with agenda discussions.

Ms. Pleva stated she would like added to the discussion that all Board members adhere to their requirement to come to the agenda set on the schedule they are given, as not all Board members attend on their scheduled days. Ms. Pleva stated all Board members should adhere to the same guidelines.

Ms. Stewart added that she may need to seek legal advice from our Board attorney or NJSBA regarding Mr. Bruno's request about agenda set. If this is something that can be discussed, it can be raised at the next meeting.

After a short discussion, Ms. Stewart polled the Board for adding the topic of having a conference call or pod cast of agenda set meetings. The Board did not approve bringing this topic forward for future discussion, by the following vote:

Yes- 1 Sam A. Bruno Abstain- 0

No- 7 Sherri Rothstein Absent - 1 Mark Aronson Richard H. Press Eileen D. Pleva April Uram Edward J. Salaski Janet I. Horan Lynne W. Stewart

Re: Tenafly Middle School Change Order #A :2

Dear AI,

During the paving process it was determined a type "E" inlet had a Type "A" frame and grate placed over the inlet opening and a thin concrete pad placed over the opening next to the frame and grate. While paving the concrete cap gave way with the weight of the equipment and collapsed. The following is a change order request to remove the existing "A" frame and replace with an "E" frame and grate and repair the pavement to match the existing elevations.

1) Furnish and install (1) Type "E" frame and grate, sawcutting of pavement and patching with FABC Surface Course 1-5 to match existing pavement elevations
