Winslow Township Board of Education Wednesday, August 8, 2018 Regular Board of Education Meeting Sean McTaggart – Parent

Mr. McTaggart inquired if the Board had any information regarding the hiring of a new Head Football Coach. He stated his son and other players were asking and no information has been provided. Dr. Carcamo responded by stating that a recommendation has been submitted and once all paperwork is returned, it will be presented to the Board to be approved. Cynthia Moultrie – Parent Ms. Moultrie expressed her concerns about the summer reading assignment. “The Alchemist” was assigned to all grade levels at the High School. She felt this book is difficult to read, especially for the students with IEPs, including her children. Dr. Carcamo asked Ms. Moultrie if she had asked for a different assignment for her child. She stated she had not, but has asked in the past. Dr. Carcamo added that she would take Ms. Moultrie concerns into consideration in future years. Rebecca Reynolds – Parent Ms. Reynolds expressed concerns about the Before and After School Program’s decision to not allow preschool students to attend. She discussed her concerns regarding the students being returned to the schools after a parent or guardian is not at the bus stop. Current procedure is to send the student to the Before and After School Program. She also recommended the Board consider having Courtesy Bus stops. Mr. Long, Board Solicitor, Mr. Jack Mills, Coordinator of Special Project, and Dr. Carcamo all responded. They explained that State Law defines the ages of the students that are able to participate in the Before and After School Program are “school aged children”, which are children in grades Kindergarten to 6th Grade. Mr. Long stated that this change not to service Preschool children is due to the law and not because the Board wanted to take away this service. Mr. Mills also confirmed Mr. Long’s statement. Dr. Carcamo also stated that if these children do come back to the school and they cannot participate in the Before and After School Program, the District might be forced to call DYFS or the police. She also stated that Courtesy Bus Stops will not be recommended. Regina Ross – Parent Ms. Ross said that she does not feel the District is giving her the help she needs in regards to the child. She stated that the Case Manager that is assigned has not responded to her when she was told they would get back to her. Dr. Carcamo asked when Ms. Ross tried to get in touch with the Case Manager. When Ms. Ross stated it was the end of June, Dr. Carcamo informed her that the Case Managers do not work in the summer and could be the reason for not hearing from the Case Manager. Dr. Carcamo also stated that she would get ahold of Dr. Robert Riccardi, Director of Special Services, to follow up on the matter.
