BOARD COMl\tlENTS

• Mrs. Hutchison - sees a lot of payments to OOD payments totaling $4.1 million. Trying to bring students back into District lobbying for legislation for state support of costs, which would follow the child. Asked at Education Committee about Behaviorist services. Are they Behaviorists? Mr. Pavlak explained H-106-12 as uncrecognized titles; but do need additional Behaviorist services. E-48-12 - speech therapy- need specialized training. H-92-12 - person in wrong guide - reason for salary. H-98-12 - summer guidance per diem.

MOTION TO APPROVE ACTION ITEMS

MOTION TO OPEN TO PUBLIC ON ANY ITEM


PUBLIC COMMENTS • K. Stack - reduction of nursing services at Ryerson. Asked that Special Education

Parents Association be given information so she can respond to parents. • A. Scalo - Special Services little over $4M this month. Has Board researched

keeping students in District?

A motion was made to close the meeting for public comment on any item.


OLD BUSINESS:

• Mrs. Stinziano - received positive feedback on elimination of athletic/extraccurricular fees. Thanked Mr. Ceberio for leading effort.

• Mr. Ceberio - asked Superintendent to consider having Administration at meetings so questions may be answered. Seems like Special Education services keep coming up - 1 1 % of student population is special education. Services provided are prescribed by Federal and State law. Also, school funding based on NJ Supreme Court determinations. What public does not see is that every appropriation for special education is now being brought before the Board. Not simple to bring students back; e.g. instructional space, doctor requirements, special services required.

• Mr. Mazzei - also requested that Directors and Administration be in attendance. Also requested that District Audit Report be presented at a BOE meeting in Council Chambers.

• Mrs. Hutchison - agrees about special education. That is why we need support from Trenton. Thanked public for requesting the elimination of fees; glad we are in good fiscal shape to do that.

• Mr. Pavlak, Jr. - Director of Special Services scrutinizes all services to be provided and only then is an OOD placement made if we cannot provide.

Mr. Pavlak, Jr. noted the first meeting of the month will now be on Nellis Drive.
