Jonathan Hodges, President Present: Dr. Dennis Clancy, Interim State District Superintendent Mr. Michael Azzara, Assistant Superintendent of Operations Mr. Sidney Sayovitz, General Counsel Comm.

Chauncey Brown The Salute to the Flag was led by Yajaira Acevedo and Gerard Robinson, JROTC. Comm. Sayegh read the Open Public Meetings Act: The New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act was enacted to insure the right of the public to have advance notice of, and to attend the meetings of the Paterson Public School District, as well as other public bodies at which any business affecting the interest of the public is discussed or acted upon. In accordance with the provisions of this law, the Paterson Public School District has caused notice of this meeting: Regular Meeting December 15, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. Eastside High School 150 Park Avenue Paterson, New Jersey to be published by having the date, time and place posted in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Paterson, at the entrance of the Paterson Public School offices, and by sending notice of the meeting to Al Zaman, El Diario, the Italian Voice, the New Jersey Forum, the North Jersey Herald & News, and The Record. Comm. Hodges: There is going to be a change in the agenda. The Report of the State District Superintendent will in fact occur after some presentations. Actually, it will occur after the public comments on agenda items only. We are going to proceed at this time to Grant Award to Roberto Clemente School from Washington Mutual Bank. Page 1 12/15/04 PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Grant Award to Roberto Clemente School from Washington Mutual Bank Dr. Clancy: I would like to ask Lourdes Rodriguez, Principal of Roberto Clemente School, to come to the podium please. In way of explanation, Roberto Clemente was awarded the Star School status. They join Rosa Parks and so we have two Star Schools in the Paterson School District. On behalf of the Board and the school district, I would like to congratulate Lourdes and the staff and the students at Roberto Clemente. Ms. Lourdes Rodriguez: Thank you Dr. Clancy. I have two of my fourth grade teachers with me, Ms. Blasi and Ms. Grieder, some of our children, and Mr. Brazil from the Washington Mutual Bank who is going to make the presentation. Mr. Matt Brazil: Thank you for letting us be here tonight. My name is Matt Brazil and I am a regional manager for Washington Mutual Bank. I can honestly say it is a pleasure to be here tonight with a number of my employees to make a very special presentation to the Roberto Clemente School here in Paterson. One of the things that are critically important for Washington Mutual, outside of just the banking realm, is the effort and teamwork that we create with our local schools. We do that in a couple of ways. One way we do it is with dollars – grants. Another way we do it is with our volunteerism. Tonight we are here to make this special presentation because of that volunteerism. So it really goes hand-in-hand. Every October we have a special promotion and we call it our Class Acts. It is a wide-scale opportunity for all of our employees to get involved with the school systems across the entire country. To motivate our employees to do this, Washington Mutual has created five grants that are given nationwide. Four of those grants are for $1,000 apiece. The grand prize grant is worth $5,000. We would be very happy to be here tonight to give you guys a check for $1,000 but that is not the case. We have with us the grand prize check for $5,000 and at this time we would like to donate it to the Roberto Clemente School. Ms. Rodriguez: We would like to present this plaque to the bank. The plaque says, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” That is a quote by Winston Churchill. We present this to the Washington Mutual Bank in appreciation for your generosity to our children at the Roberto Clemente School, Paterson, New Jersey, on December 15, 2004. Thank you so much. Comm. Hodges: Principal Rodriguez, on behalf of the Board of Education let me extend my profound thanks for your efforts and my heartfelt congratulations. Thank you very much. Presentation to the Jada Williams Foundation Comm. Hodges: At this time, we are going to ask Joanne Riviello to come forward. Ms. Joanne Riviello: Before I ask Mr. Vergara to come down, I would like to just thank Dr. Clancy, the Paterson school community, and the City of Paterson at large for helping me support a family from Paterson who is in great need. Dr. Clancy, thank you for your support and the outstanding effort we have had so far for the Jada Williams fund. To Mrs. Lyde, Mr. Moody and all of those who supported the basketball marathon, as far as myself and the Williams family, we appreciate all the dedication and hard work you have put into this endeavor. At this point I haven’t received all of the canisters that are out in the Paterson Public Schools but I will tell you that we are Page 2 12/15/04 halfway to our $50,000 commitment that we made. So that is really exciting for us and I truly appreciate the support from all of you. At this time I think Mr. Vergara has something to say. To those of you who don’t know, this is Shakira Fairfax and Shakira is Jada’s mom. Jada is at home this evening because it is really too cold for her to come out at this time. Comm. Taylor: I don’t know if everyone knows what is wrong with Jada. Jada has a special sickness. Comm. Vergara: I would like to say thanks to the district for helping out in this cause. Jada Williams is a three year old and we are doing everything to support her. These children that are here tonight are members of Scout Troupe 911 in Paterson. They heard about the cause and they said they wanted to come and help. So they all got together and under the supervision of their troupe leaders and myself were able in three and a half hours to collect a certain amount that they would like to present tonight. The total is $1,200 that they will be presenting to the family this evening. I just ask everyone to please continue to support this cause, the Jada Williams Foundation. When you have students like this from our school district who are doing positive things we also have to acknowledge them. So I would like to thank all these children for a wonderful job well done. Ms. Riviello: I was probably negligent at the beginning. Jada is a three year old. She is a twin and she was diagnosed on September 10th with ALL, which is a form of leukemia. Her mother, at that time, couldn’t take a childcare leave because she didn’t have enough time in at her job to do so. That is why I set up this fund. I can’t thank the Paterson community enough because the support has truly been outstanding and it has really been a lesson to me in terms of how we can rally together when we need to and certainly in terms of continuing the faith. If I can ask one thing of you, although your financial support has been amazing, if you can continue to keep Jada in your prayers I think she is going to make it through. I truly do appreciate it. Thank you and have a nice holiday. Recognition of Former Board Member William M. Kline Comm. Hodges: Tonight we are going to be recognizing an individual who I first met about 10 years ago. I must say this is a gentleman who beat me in my first race for the School Board and I have never quite forgiven him for that. I want to say that when it comes to integrity, honor, dedication and sheer love of Paterson’s children, he has caused me to come in second every single time again. Mr. William ‘Bill’ Kline has over 47 years of service in the Paterson School District. I believe he started out as a teacher, vice principal, principal, and assistant superintendent. He has been a Board member and Board President over the course of those years. His efforts have been quite remarkable, and his accomplishments likewise. This community will truly miss a man who has shown this kind of commitment to its potential future. So on behalf of the Board of Education and in grateful appreciation for your years of service to the Paterson Board of Education and indeed the entire Paterson Public School District, I wish to thank you and give you these very simple tokens of our appreciation. Mr. Kline, please come forward. Mr. Kline’s leaving was rather sudden. We ordered an additional gift for him which has not arrived but we are going to give him a pen that I have fashioned personally. Please grace us with a few words, sir. Mr. William M.

  • Biggest Church Planting Needs Among Unreached/Least-Reached in Metro NY
    Biggest Church Planting Needs Among Unreached/Least-Reached in Metro NY Below is a prioritized list of church planting needs in Metro New York among unreached and least-reached people groups—those groups that have little or no indigenous community of Christians to spread the gospel to their people and others. The list looks specifically at peoples’ locations within Metro New York that are strategic for reaching their communities. The assumption is that, at least in the 1st generation of Christians, peoples-specific churches should be started that will most effectively spread the gospel to the rest of their people and near-culture people groups. It is also assumed that the gospel will spread most rapidly among a people if the churches started primarily consist of converts and not just Christian-background people with a similar culture or language. As a result, we have not counted churches as started among a people group, even if a church has started that primarily consists of people from the same country and speak the same language, if the church primarily has Christian-background members that are removed from the dominant religious and social structure of a given people group (e.g., there are around a dozen Pakistani churches in Metro New York but only a handful of Muslim- background Christians in these churches because they are so far removed from the dominant Pakistani Muslim culture). Priority in the list is given to those communities of people groups that have little or no engagement with the gospel, that have no churches, and that have no one focused on starting a church among them.
