D. Public Participation: Joan Freeman, 98 Palmer Street

Spoke on behalf of her daughter (Destri Adams). Ms. Freeman read a list of positions, accomplishments and qualifications of Ms. Adams. Ms. Freeman stated that she conducted research on the Danielson Framework and referenced the essay of Dr. Ted Morrissey, Ph.D, published author, entitled “Fatal Flaws of the Danielson Framework.” Dr. Morrissey spoke of how administrators have been misusing the framework resulting in demoralized teachers and unimproved, if not diminished performance in the classroom. Dr. Morrissey said the framework is often applied very subjectively and is supposed to provide support, not judgement. This is especially true when utilized by less experienced or untrained evaluators. The evaluators are only getting a snapshot during a classroom visit. Ms. Freeman stated that the evaluators should see the potential of the teacher inside and outside of the classroom at all times. Ms. Freeman stated that the administrator needs to have experience to have a complete picture of the person and never a third party opinion, otherwise the evaluation is flawed. The administrator should be able to provide an unbiased evaluation to help the teacher build upon their strengths. Ms. Freeman stated that an evaluation should not be used as a tool for retribution or to destroy a person’s aspirations and life’s work, it should be about supporting the students. Ms. Freeman stated that the method does not show growth if used unjustly and if the evaluator is not experienced and unbiased. Ms. Freeman stated that Ms. Adams should be given an unbiased and fair observation by a tenured out of district or in district administrator. Ms. Adams’ statement and rebuttal were basically ignored and she was told that her entry to the Master’s program was referred to as insignificant, as if not considered part of professional development.

Ms. Freeman stated that she agreed with Mrs. Danielson who stated that an evaluator needs to be experienced, unbiased, fair and honest. Germaine Gibson-Williams, 231 Sherman Street, Passaic Optimist Club Vice President Ms. Gibson shared a list containing the names and amounts of scholarships awarded to PHS students. Thirty eight students would be sharing a total of $33,000.00 in scholarships. Ms. Williams read the list of the accomplishments of the Passaic Optimist Club and provided a pamphlet listing the provider/donor of each scholarship. Ms. Williams asked if the district could consider supporting the organization and would approve the distribution of information regarding the Passaic Optimist Club Golf Outing fundraiser, as all monies collected are for the community of Passaic. Todnesha Swain, 18 Broadway Apt. 2F Ms. Swain spoke on behalf of her child’s first grade teacher, Ms. Adams. Ms. Swain stated that Ms. Adams provided assistance to her and her son above and beyond her job requirements. She thanked Ms. Adams for the extra work and funds she put in to help her son reach grade level. She asked that Ms. Adams not be released of her position. Mr. Patel stated the board cannot respond to personnel matters but will be listening to comments.

Francine Crockett Wise, 53 Kensington Terrace Mrs. Wise spoke on behalf of Mr. Corey McKinney. Mrs. Wise asked if the board could dig deeper into the demotion of Mr. Corey McKinney. She asked if the real reason for his demotion had been communicated to Mr. McKinney, the staff and the parents. Mrs. Wise stated that School #7 has had five different principals in the past five years, no stability. Mr. McKinney has only been at School #7 for one year. Ms. Wise stated that playing musical chairs with principals has been recorded and documented as part of a “bait and switch” with children being baited by one principal who then is replaced with another at the appropriate time, prior to tenure. Mrs. Wise stated that this process is similar to a hostile takeover in an attempt to remove a person when the people who have the most invested,- children, staff and families, - do not want the move. This change would be counterproductive to the district’s mission. Mrs. Wise stated that Mr. McKinney has dedicated himself to the school and the community. Darlene Martinez, 105 Washington Place (STUDENT at PHS) PHS Student spoke on behalf of the employment status of Mr. Caceres (chemistry teacher at PHS). She asked the board to reconsider the firing of Mr. Caceres. Leonela Martinez, 52 Aycrigg Avenue (STUDENT at PHS) Ms. Martinez stated that Mr. Caceres had an impact on her. She stated that the environment of the class was changed when he was removed. She asked the Board to reconsider the status of Mr. Caceres. Edwardo Ramirez, 241 Hope Avenue (STUDENT at PHS) Mr. Ramirez presented a Petition containing signatures on behalf of Mr. Caceres. Mr. Ramirez stated that Mr. Caceres has been a positive influence and role model in his life. Vermshka Velez, 69 Howe Avenue #6 Ms. Velez stated that Ms. Adams was her son’s first grade teacher last year. Her son was new in Passaic and Ms. Adams has been and continues to be an influence in his life. Ms. Velez stated that Ms. Adams has the skills necessary to help children progress and grow, she was always available to meet with parents, before and after school. Ms. Velez asked the board to reconsider keeping Ms. Adams in her current position. Thomas Figueroa, 20 VanWinkle Avenue Mr. Figueroa spoke on behalf of Principal Corey McKinney. Mr. Figueroa stated he grew up with Mr. Kinney and Mr. McKinney is a positive role model for the community. Mr. Figueroa stated that Mr. McKinney is endeared by students, faculty and families in the community, and it would be an injustice to remove Mr. McKinney from his position as there are few African American administrators in the district. Mr. Figueroa said that the board should consider the person’s entire body of work not just one year’s assessment or observation which may be politically motivated by fear and intimidation. Mr. Figueroa reminded the newly board members to remember their campaign promises now that they are on the board and stand up for what is right.

Renee Griggs, 23 Aspen Place #6C Ms. Griggs asked to be provided, in writing, with the evaluation process of a principal. Ms. Griggs spoke on behalf of Mr. Corey McKinney. She stated Mr. Kinney is an astute administrator, caring individual and he is capable and confident. She said Mr. McKinney made a grave impact on her, her granddaughter and many children at School No. 6. Ms. Griggs stated that Mr. McKinney cares about the total student. Howard Pujols 245 Hope Avenue Mr. Pujols said he is looking for answers on behalf of Corey McKinney, who was his teacher at Lincoln Middle School. Mr. Pujols stated that Mr. McKinney is an inspirational member of the community as well as a product of the school system and community. Mr. Pujols asked what goes into the evaluations of teachers, principals and administrators. Mr. Pujols asked what the board of education can or cannot do for the staff being advocated for this evening (Ms. Adams and Mr. McKinney). Mr. Pujols also asked if a better sound system could be purchased for board meetings. Mr. Patel responded that he cannot comment with regards to the personnel matters but stated that the board offices will be moving to 663 Main Avenue shortly which will have a better sound system. Kasim Washington, 226 Sixth Street Mr. Washington spoke of fear throughout the district, the teachers are scared of the principal, the principal is scared of the superintendent, the superintendent is scared of the board, the board is scared of the kids and the kids are not scared of anybody. Mr. Washington asked how the principal in the school with the highest scores can be demoted. Mr. Washington stated that it appears evaluations are given by individuals who do not understand or know the people who work for them and asked if the board evaluates the evaluators and if that is the case, the community has the right to evaluate the board. Mr. Washington also spoke on behalf of Ms. Adams. Mr. Washington stated he was told that in January, February and March, administrators came into School #7 to critique the Principal. Mr. McKinney was then demoted and was not given sufficient time to make corrections. Mr. Washington addressed the newly elected board members and stated it would not be correct if they merely cast a vote to demote Mr. McKinney without reviewing the evaluation and what he has been doing at School No. 7. Mr. Washington stated that employees are afraid to speak at meetings. Mr. Patel stated that the board attorney will comment on the evaluation procedures and legal process that the board goes through. Clayton Barker, 35 Herbert Terrace, West Orange, NJ Mr. Barker stated that he is a former board member and informed the board that they represent the community that elected them. Mr. Barker stated that the previous speakers have passionately expressed the disservice that has been going on in the district. He said that


5

the board members have the authority to make changes to all policies that are detrimental to the community. He said that the Superintendent can demote, transfer or terminate an employee, but the members have heard speakers and parents validate why the principal and teacher should remain in their positions. Mr. Barker asked how the demotion and termination would affect the individual when looking for another position. Mr. Barker challenged the community members in attendance to come to all meetings and be proactive. Many children are falling through the system, although there is data showing the amount of students graduating, many are graduating and are not able to complete an application or an essay and are being socially promoted.

Mr. Barker stated the community must hold the board of education accountable.

Mr. Rosario responded that a retention policy was passed with regards to the social promotion. Minnie Hiller Cousins, 368 Highland Avenue Mrs. Hiller-Cousins stated that she was afraid to speak because she had nieces, nephews and other family members coming through the district. Mrs. Hiller-Cousins spoke on behalf of Mr. Corey McKinney and on behalf of Ms. Destri Adams. Danna Yancey, 147 Burgess Place Ms. Yancey referenced the Invocation in the Agenda packet and stated that it is not in the best interest of the students, school or community to replace Mr. McKinney. Ms. Yancey said that School No. 7 has not had a stable full time principal for the past five years. Ms. Yancey asked the board to reconsider their decision. Walter Theadford, 145 Burgess place Mr. Theadford asked the board if there have been five principals at School No. 7 over the past five years or at least four principals in the past five years. Mr. Brisman explained to Mr. Theadford that the administration and board members may provide responses after the public session. The public is asked to make their comments during the five minutes allotted. Mr. Theadford stated that if a district has at least four principals in five years, it seems to be a slash and burn such as a corporate hostile takeover flipping the organization over for profit, not for equity, value, long term vision, principle or mission. Mr. Theadford stated the board is playing games and not adhering to a Supreme Court ruling which states that the public has rights to exculpatory evidence and said he believes there are ethics violations. Jeffrey Dye 443 Howe Avenue -- President of NAACP Mr. Dye stated his attendance at the meeting was for justice for Corey McKinney and all others being unjustly dealt with in the district. Mr. Dye asked when the jackets for the freshmen winning team would be purchased as promised. Mr. Dye stated that three members of the board are up for reelection each year and the community should unite and go out and vote to make changes and stop the politics.

Loretta Hill, 15 Hughes Street Ms. Hill spoke on behalf of Corey McKinney, who assisted her daughter when she attended LMS. Her daughter had a “504” which was lost at the High School and has not received the assistance she should have. Ms. Hill stated she had a nephew that was given a diploma but cannot write. She stated Mr. McKinney can relate to the students in these situations. Ms. Hill - Student Ms. Hill spoke on behalf of Mr. McKinney who she had as her Vice Principal when she attended school. Dr. W.B. Davidson, Pastor of Roger Williams Church in Passaic Dr. W.B. Davidson spoke on behalf of Mr. McKinney and asked the board to reevaluate the assessment given to Mr. McKinney and to restore him back to his position as Principal. Dr. David stated that Mr. McKinney is a role model, excellent educator, excellent principal who cares for the community. Ruth Rangel, 47 High Street #16 Ms. Rangel stated she has attended many board meetings and meetings at the schools and noted that tonight’s meeting is packed. The public should make an attempt to attend all meetings. Jackiw Jaroslaw, 266 Lafayette Avenue Mr. Jaroslaw asked if the board will re-evaluate the Superintendent on June 30, 2018 and appoint a new superintendent. Robin Holcombe, EAP President, 124 Gregory Avenue, Ste. 302 Ms. Holcome introduced herself as the new President of the EAP and stated that she looks forward to working with the board to rectify some of the problems heard tonight and also work towards the many “positives” taking place to help make Passaic the best school system in the State of New Jersey.
