Before a matter is placed on the agenda at a public meeting, the administration has thoroughly reviewed the matter with the Superintendent of Schools. If the Superintendent of Schools is satisfied that the matter is ready to be presented to the Board of Education, it is then referred to the appropriate board committee. The members of the board committee work with administration and the Superintendent to assure that the members fully understand the matter. When the committee is satisfied with the matter, it is presented to the Board of Education for discussion before any final action is taken. Only then, is it placed on the agenda for action at a public meeting. In rare instances, matters are presented to the Board of Education for discussion at the same meeting that final action may be taken.<h6>The Following Members of the Board of Education were present:</h6>Mrs. Arvanitis Mrs. Cavanaugh Dr. Christopher Mrs. Gassman Mrs. Hegglin Mr. Kramer Mrs. McLaughlin Ms. Sarfaty Mrs. TrocchiaAlso in Attendance:Thomas Farrell, SuperintendentDennis Kotch, BA/Board SecretaryPRESENTATIONS: · 2014-2015 Retirees: Beverly Cagliostro, Eveann McNicholas, & Sharon Niedzwiecki· Foundation for Public Education - Becky Seikel, President & Jamie Saponaro, Vice-President - 2015-2016 Grant ChecksPUBLIC COMMENTS: None<h3>APPROVAL OF MINUTES</h3>May 26, 2015 Regular Public MeetingMotion offered by Ms. Sarfaty and seconded by Mrs. Trocchia was approved by a roll call vote of 8/0/1 with Mrs. Gassman abstaining.
