Mr. DeMarino stated a portion of the sale of land money was used for technology and Ms. Rotella has encumbered the funds for that. Mr. Molnar asked what the guidelines are for work being bid as opposed to obtaining quotes. Mr. DeMarino explained when the district spends over $29,000 on any one project, a bid is required. He stated any project over $4,350 requires two quotes or utilization of New Jersey State Contracts. Mr. DeMarino explained in many cases there is a lot of paperwork and certifications that local vendors must have in order to do the work resulting in difficulty in finding contractors at times which is why the district utilizes the State Contract process. Mr. Small

asked if the money listed for the Colonia High School window replacement project completes the entire school. Mr. DeMarino explained this is a partial payment for the main office and guidance office. He further explained the interior courtyard windows still will need to be replaced. Mr. DeMarino stated it will cost approximately $500,000 to finish the courtyard area. He stated he will attempt to address this in the upcoming budget.

Mr. Small moved for the adoption of the Cafeteria recommendations, seconded by Mr. Huber. During Board discussion, Mr. Tamburello asked if the school lunch prices in Item #4 reflect an increase over last year. Mr. DeMarino stated the only increase is in the high school breakfast which is increased from $1.50 to $2.00. Mr. Tamburello asked if that covers the 3% increase. Mr. DeMarino stated the 3% increase is on the Preferred meals at the elementary schools. Mr. Tamburello verified that the district will recoup the 3% increase built into the price of the Preferred Meal. Mr. DeMarino stated the elementary lunch is $2.75 and the cost of the Preferred meal is $1.65 plus the cost to the district of the milk.

Mr. Small asked how the Preferred meals did during this current school year. Mr. DeMarino stated Preferred Meals was a huge success at the 16 elementary schools. He stated the projects are nearing $250,000 in profit that will go into the food service department. Mr. DeMarino stated he is hopeful that it will continue to be successful.

Ms. Acquisto verified that there is an increase in the cost of breakfast at the high schools which Mr. DeMarino agreed with. Ms. Acquisto noted that Item #4 states at no increase in cost. Ms. Leidner stated the person making the motion must make the correction in wording of the item that needs to be corrected. Mr. Buiede stated Mr. Small, who made the original motion, would need to make a new motion with the amended wording in the item. Mr. Small moved for the adoption of the Cafeteria recommendations with the correction noted in Item #4, seconded by Ms. Leidner. With all Board members voting in favor, the foregoing was adopted. The Curriculum Committee, on the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools and the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, presented the following:

1. That the Board of Education approve a partnership between the Woodbridge Township School District and Princeton Review, Inc. to provide an SAT preparation course on-site at a reduced cost for district students. They also will provide, at no cost, Princeton Review materials for our Guidance Department and students.

Mr. Tamburello moved for the adoption of the Curriculum recommendations, seconded by Ms. Acquisto. During Board discussion, Ms. Acquisto thanked Ms. Rotella for bringing the SAT preparation program into the district. Mr. Molnar also thanked Ms. Rotella for bringing the SAT preparation course on-site, noting the course is a valuable tool to all students preparing to take the SAT’s. Mr. Molnar stated when students are applying to colleges, a great deal of emphasis is put on SAT scores. Mr. Tamburello stated the Princeton Review is the foremost instruction for preparation of the SAT’s. Mr. Tamburello acknowledged that the Board President brought this forward last year. He stated the typical fee for this program is $1,099, but it will be offered to Woodbridge Township students for $499 per child. Mr. Tamburello thanked the Board and Administration, specifically Ms. Rotella, for bringing this program and discount to the district. Mr. Molnar stressed that all the parents should take advantage of the program. Ms. Acquisto stated that although the program is being held at Colonia High School, all district students are able to participate. There were no comments or questions from the public. With all Board members voting in favor, the foregoing was adopted. Board Attorney, Eric Buiede, had nothing to bring before the Board for open session. Under "Old Business," Mr. Small, on behalf of the Board and Administration, congratulated the John F. Kennedy Mustang baseball team for the incredible run, winning the State Championship. He congratulated Coach Smith and all the players. Mr. Tamburello asked if the wireless at the high schools being obtained through the sale of property money includes computers. Ms. Rotella stated it does include a tremendous amount of hardware. She clarified that the actual land sale money will be going to the middle schools and they will all receive 60 laptops plus carts. She further stated the high schools will be receiving approximately 75 per school. Ms. Rotella explained they are taking the computers out of the business labs and putting them in the classrooms amounting to almost 150 computers. Mr. Miloscia thanked the school district language department for the production of the Rainbow Express book and also the Woodbridge High School language department for the El Dorado.

Mr. Tamburello thanked Buildings and Grounds Department, the Committee and Mr. D’Orsi for fixing the potholes at Colonia Middle School. Under “New Business," Ms. Leidner reported on the MCSBA Spring meeting which she attended, noting the topics of discussion were the new accountability regulations. She stated Dr. Piegari gave his interpretation of the regulations and the current trends in negotiations which she stated she passed on to the Board president. Ms. Leidner further stated that she and Mr. Miloscia attended the advanced mandated training for Board members. She stated the discussion there was current and past school case law. Ms. Leidner stated the Commissioner of Education will be holding public hearings on the proposed readoption of the accountability regulations. She stated there are several different hearing dates scheduled. Ms. Leidner asked if Woodbridge will be represented at any of the upcoming hearings, commenting that she feels we should because many of the regulations affect our financial standard. Dr. Crowe stated he received the dates late from the Commissioner but he will try to have in person representation. Dr. Crowe stated any remarks the district has will be submitted through correspondence to the Commissioner. She stressed the importance of letting the Commissioner know how much the new regulations are costing the taxpayer. Mr. Molnar asked if Dr. Piegari is treating the regulations as such or as suggestions. Ms. Leidner stated Dr. Piegari is treating them as regulations but also has several unanswered questions. Ms. Leidner stated if the Board would like a written report on Dr. Piegari’s comments regarding the new regulations, she will be happy to do so. Dr. Crowe stated in his monthly meetings with Dr. Piegari, he has made it clear that he is treating these as regulations. Dr. Crowe stated of all the County Superintendents, Dr. Piegari is the most reasonable in working with us. He stated since the implementation of the title Executive County Superintendent, the County Superintendent now has more power than he or she ever had in the past so we are very thankful the he is working with us and giving us as clear guidelines as he possibly can. Mr. Molnar stated the appearance left by the Commissioner the other night at the Town-style meeting was that the district went above and beyond in following the regulations. Ms Leidner stated, with the regulations, the Commissioner was given total authority without legislative approval. Ms. Leidner further stated that we are interpreting the regulations as laws because the legislators have given her total authority and that is how the district must address them. Mr. Miloscia stated it is his belief that the regulations are presented for codification a year after the districts have been given the rules for open discussion and then they are voted upon by the legislator. Ms. Leidner stated with her new appointment to New Jersey School Boards Association’s Legislative Committee, she would like to meet with the legislative representative for Presidents’ Council. She stated she would like to review the proposed laws which will affect all school districts. Ms. Leidner congratulated the graduating seniors as well as the 5th and 8th grade students on their promotions. Mr. Molnar thanked Mr. D’Orsi and his staff at School #21as well as the PTO for their hospitality in hosting the summer Board of Education meetings. Mr. Molnar congratulated the graduating seniors. He also congratulated the 8th grade students, 5th grade students and kindergarten students. Mr. Molnar thanked the employees for their hard work throughout the year. The Board President opened the meeting to the public. During this portion, P. Ballotta, Woodbridge, stated he is glad to see the district received additional reimbursement money from the State. Mr. Ballotta asked how much money is still owed the district. Mr. DeMarino stated the district is still owed approximately 2.5 to 2.6 million dollars. Mr. DeMarino thanked the Commissioner for her quick action in contacting the School Development Authority for our bond reimbursement. Mr. Ballotta asked when the district will need to refinance the note. Mr. DeMarino explained he has until November with the short term note of 4.4 million. He stated he was told an additional $250,000 would be wired to the district tomorrow. Mr. Ballotta asked if there has been an increase in the free and reduced lunch applications due to the economy. Mr. DeMarino stated he does not have the answer to that question and deferred to Mr. Triebwasser who stated the applications are up slightly. Ms. Rotella stated 27% of the district’s population have submitted applications, noting that in the past approximately 17% had been submitted. She added that each year the applications have been increasing.

V. Romanienko, Woodbridge, commented on the new regulations. She stated although the law is as such, the guidelines are minimal guidelines and in the past the district has risen above those guidelines. Ms. Romanienko expressed her concerns regarding the elimination of paraprofessionals. She read a letter which she received from an individual concerned about the elimination of 40 paraprofessionals. Ms. Romanienko stated she received a phone call regarding the poor decisions in the hiring process of workers for the extended school year program. Ms. Romanienko stated she was told that there would be no paraprofessionals hired for the program. In addition she stated that she was told only non-experienced college students would be hired. Ms. Romanienko asked how it is that the district is choosing to be in violation of the law in hiring people to serve children with disabilities who are not highly qualified. Dr. Crowe stated it is true that in putting together the budget, every possible area was looked at in order to stay under the 4% cap. He stated it is not true that this Board and Administration does not care and is not fully concerned for every child in the district. Dr. Crowe stated the budget called for painful decisions. Dr. Crowe asked Ms. Korodan to respond to Ms. Romanienko’s question. Ms. Korodan stated every certified member who has been appointed to Pace is a highly qualified Special Education teacher. Ms. Romanienko then asked about the paraprofessionals. Ms. Korodan stated unless paraprofessionals are Title I, they do not have to meet highly qualified standards. Ms. Romanienko stated the district is lowering its standards. Ms. Korodan stated in the past, the district has always employed college help as well as paraprofessionals which it will be doing again this year. She further advised that there are individuals being employed who have previously worked PACE and college students who are on the road to becoming special education teachers or certified teachers. Ms. Romanienko stated she will be asking the college students what their career goals are throughout the summer. Ms. Korodan stated she will be happy to meet with Ms. Romanienko to discuss this matter further. K. Schmallenberger, expressed concerns over the elimination of the paraprofessionals for the 2009-10 school year as well as the district’s decision not to use paraprofessionals for the Extended School Year program. Dr. Crowe asked if there are any IEP’s for September that are not being met with regards to paraprofessionals. Ms. Miller stated all IEP’s are being met. M. Spevak, Fords, expressed concerns about the elimination of the After Care program at School #14. She stated her discontent with her child having to be bused to Woodbridge for the After Care program. She stated she has a petition of dissatisfied parents regarding the elimination of the program at School #14. She asked the logic behind transporting the children. She also asked why the district needs certified teachers to supervise After Care. Ms. Korodan stated 12 years ago, the After Care program was started as a courtesy to the parents. She further advised a certified staff member is needed at each location. Ms. Korodan further stated that After Care was increased to six locations. She stated that the current economy has caused the district to close one site for cost effectiveness. Ms. Spevak stated by busing the students to another location, it now becomes an additional liability to the district. Ms. Korodan advised children will be bused with other children that are normally bused home. She further stated the cost of After Care was increased two years ago. Ms. Korodan explained enrollment in the program at School #14 is low so that was the reason behind closing that site. She further explained the thirty students that attend the After Care program at School #14 will be bused to School #1. Ms. Korodan stressed that many students throughout the district are transported to various After Care sites. Ms. Spevak asked if she could submit the petition to the Board and Administration for consideration. Mr. Molnar received the petition. J. Mahan, expressed concerns about the elimination of paraprofessionals explaining how she feels it will affect her autistic son M. Davies, Colonia, asked which Board members are qualified to craft the budget. Mr. Molnar stated the Finance and Insurance Committee worked with the Administration. Ms. Davies clarified that then the Finance Committee would be responsible for the elimination of the librarians and paraprofessionals. Mr. Molnar answered affirmatively but reminded Ms. Davies that the Finance Committee is responsible for courtesy bussing staying in place.

Ms. Davies asked Mr. DeMarino if he had anything to do with this budget. Mr. DeMarino stated he absolutely put the budget together with the Central Office Administrators with the guidance and input from the Finance and Insurance Committee. Ms. Davies stated she will have to research whether or not the Finance Committee is qualified to do that. Ms. Davies asked for the salary of Anthony D’Orsi, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds. Ms. Davies stated the Board should consider this an OPRA request. Mr. Buiede stated the proper paperwork must be submitted. Ms. Davies stated she will bring the request to the next Board meeting. Ms. Davies continued that it is her belief that Mr. D’Orsi is retiring and a current Board member is considering taking that position. Mr. Molnar asked Ms. Davies to state who she believes the person is. Ms. Davies responded she will speak with Mr. Molnar in private. Ms. Davies stated Mr. Molnar spends a lot of time at the Administration Building. Ms. Davies referenced Jane Nowitz as an advocate. Ms. Davies stated the Board does not have integrity and that is why she has chosen to come to the microphone. She stated she is tired of being abused by Board of Education members. Mr. Molnar asked who specifically she is referring to. Ms. Davies stated the Board of Education abuses the taxpayers by the way they play around with the money and the budget. Mr. Molnar stated the budget has many spokes to the wheel and the Board and Administration made the best decisions they could for the students, staff and taxpayers of Woodbridge Township. Ms. Davies stated the Board does not put children first. Mr. Molnar reminded Ms. Davies that the Budget passed by a significant amount of votes. Ms. Davies stated the Union was behind the budget and did unethical things during the Board of Education election. Mr. Buiede cautioned Ms. Davies of the defamation laws. Ms. Davies asked which Board members are allowed to qualify teachers and staff. Mr. Molnar stated Board members do not review staff members. Mr. Molnar stated Board members visit schools on a regular basis, however, they have not reviewed staff members. He further stated Board members have sat in on interviews, but have not made recommendations to the Administration. Ms. Davies stated an employee was written up by a Board member. Mr. Molnar stated when he speaks with Ms. Davies, he would like her to elaborate on her statements. Ms. Davies verified that there is a no-smoking policy on school property. Mr. Molnar and Mr. DeMarino stated there is such a policy. Ms. Davies stated she would like to see the policy enforced since many teachers are standing outside the schools smoking. Mr. DeMarino stated he will look into that matter. Ms. Davies asked if Ms. Leidner sits on the Technology Committee. Ms. Leidner answered affirmatively. Ms. Davies asked Ms. Leidner considers that a conflict of interest since her son is a part of that unit in the district. Ms. Leidner stated she does not. Ms. Davies stated she will be attending Board meetings in the future. Mr. Tamburello stated he agrees with Ms. Davies topic of no-smoking on school property, however, having known her for many years, he is offended at the generalities made about this Board and its unethical behavior. Ms. Davies stated she is not bashing the Board members, but simply bringing up facts. Ms. Davies stated that her and Mr. Tamburello had a recent conversation, commenting that “He didn’t take the deal.” She asked Mr. Tamburello if he recalls that conversation. Mr. Molnar ended the conversation at that point. A parent spoke in support of Ms. Spevak regarding the After Care program at School #14. A parent from Colonia asked if the Rainbow Express Literary Magazine was cut from the 2009-2010 budget. Ms. Rotella stated it was cut from the budget. She stated it was a difficult decision but the cost is approximately $40,000. Mr. Molnar suggested possibly finding sponsorship. She also spoke in favor of the paraprofessionals and the special needs educational program. K. Wykowski, Avenel, questioned the elimination of the elementary librarians. Dr. Crowe stated when formulating the budget, most difficult cuts had to be made in order to keep the integrity of the classroom. He advised that Ms. Rotella met with the elementary principals to ensure that the libraries will be kept open. Ms. Rotella stated the libraries will be open and available everyday. She further advised there will be field trips for 1st grade students to the public libraries.

Ms. Wykowski also commented on the elimination of the paraprofessionals. She asked if the staff being eliminated will be put on a list to be recalled. Ms. Korodan stated all staff members riffed are entitled to recall by seniority. Ms. Wykowski praised the school district. Dr. Crowe agreed and applauded the sentiment of Ms. Wykowski. Melody, a student at School #28, stated she is a special needs child and credits her teachers with her success in school. She thanked her teacher and aide for their assistance in school. Melody attributed her success in reading to Ms. Gnadinger, the librarian at School #28. J. Abner, Fords, stated she does not like the changes with the paraprofessionals and is concerned what will happen with her children. She also expressed concerns over the elimination of the librarians. Ms. Abner made additional positive comments regarding Ms. Gnadinger. Ms. Rotella stated again that all libraries will remain open. K. Abner, a student at Fords Middle School, commented on the need to keep Ms. Gnadinger at School #28. B. Pellito, Colonia, expressed several concerns over the 2&16 location. He stressed that this type of facility should not be located in a residential area. Mr. Small then presented to the Board for its consideration, a resolution for a Closed Session to discuss subjects exempted from the public portion of the meeting. The discussion to be held in Closed Session will be about personnel matters which include: resignation, extensions of sympathy; retirements; leaves of absences; certified and non-certified staff: returning from leaves, transfers, and appointments; salary adjustment; request for renewal of emergency certification; changes for program, and professional development activities, clubs, extra-curricular activities.
