Dr. Crowe further stated, once the roofs have been replaced, the district can move forward with solar panels which will reduce our electrical costs immediately. He noted this is an opportunity the district cannot ignore. He stated this proposal is consistent with the directive given him by the Board for the safety of the students and also with the Mayor’s “Green Plan”, and the Governor’s plan to cut expenses.

Mr. DeMarino stated the 8.4 million dollars in reimbursable aid is only available for a limited time and must be acted upon immediately. Mr. DeMarino explained impact to taxpayers of a bond referendum would be as low as $3.00 to $8.00 per year for both the roof and solar projects. Mr. DeMarino further explained he will expedite the bids in order for the majority of the work to be completed during the summer months. He stated all the savings in electrical costs will go to the district. Mr. DeMarino stated several presentations will be made by Speizle Group, Inc. and Capital Financial Advisors regarding the

64

September 16, 2010

bond referendum. He stated he feels the Board is moving in the right direction by putting new roofs on all schools.

Ms. Leidner stated had the Board not approved to move forward with the bond referendum, the money for new roofs would need to be budgeted annually. Ms. Leidner asked the approximate cost to replace one roof. Mr. DeMarino stated elementary school roofs are approximately 1 to 1.8 million dollars per roof and high school roofs are upwards of 3 million dollars per roof. Dr. Crowe stated there is really no choice, noting the cost of replacing the roofs is much more costly than the bond referendum. Ms. Leidner stated the roofs have to be fixed. Mr. DeMarino stated the district will get better pricing by bidding more roofs at one time as opposed to bidding one roof annually.

Mr. Molnar asked if passage of the bond referendum has to be by a 60% majority. Mr. DeMarino stated it needs to pass by 50% plus one. Mr. Molnar agreed that this is the only way to address the roofs. He explained that although the roofs needed replacement when the original bond referendum was voted upon, there were other areas that needed to be addressed. Mr. Molnar commended Mr. DeMarino, Dr. Crowe for their efforts on this project.

Mr. Yuhasz stated this is a unique approach to economically move forward with these projects. Mr. DeMarino stated again that there will be several presentations prior to the referendum vote in December. Under “New Business," Mr. Molnar congratulated Lynn Crest School #22 on receiving the Blue Ribbon Award. The Board President opened the meeting to the public. During this portion, D. Pinkowitz, Iselin, asked what the status of the Supervisor of Transportation position is. Dr. Crowe stated the Administration is currently conducting interviews.

Mr. Pinkowitz asked when the new computer system for the elementary lunch program will take effect. Mr. DeMarino responded, November.

Mr. Pinkowitz congratulated Lynn Crest School #22. He stated he feels the Honeywell Alert site is much improved, allowing the individual to designate when you want to receive the notifications.

Mr. Pinkowitz commented on several outdated policies in the district. Dr. Crowe stated the district was going to utilize New Jersey School Boards Association to update all their policies but that became cost inhibited during the budget process. Dr. Crowe stated the Open Public Records Request policy is currently being discussed in Committee.

Mr. Pinkowitz again expressed his desire to have the Board reconsider the G&T Arts program which impacts approximately 800 students

K. Martin, Fords, expressed concerns over the 4th grade class size at School #14. Dr. Crowe and Ms. Rotella responded, stating that the class size policy is being adhered to. Ms. Rotella stated there is no funding which will allow a reduction in class size. Ms. Martin asked if classroom sizes are compatible from school to school. Ms. Rotella stated classrooms at School #14 are larger than other locations. Ms. Martin expressed concerns over the closeness of students during testing. Dr. Crowe stated testing is always closely monitored.

J. Vataric, Woodbridge, asked how much is spent on roof repairs per year. Mr. DeMarino responded approximately $100,000 to $150,000 yearly. Mr. Vataric asked if the district’s insurance rates decrease with new roofs. Mr. DeMarino confirmed that insurance rates do decrease on a school with a new roof. Mr. Vataric commented on solar panels being installed on the five schools which have the new roofs.

Mr. Vataric questioned the possibility of the district selling two or three schools in the next year. Dr. Crowe stated there currently is no discussion taking place to close any schools. He stated, however, that everything will be on the table during the budget process.

Mr. Vataric clarified that the taxpayers will be responsible for $12,000,000 if the bond referendum passes. Mr. DeMarino stated with the solar panels and the roofs, the figure is approximately $30,000,000 which is approximately $4.00 to $8.oo additional per taxpayer. Mr. Vataric encouraged the Board and

65

September 16, 2010

Administration to move forward with the project. Mr. DeMarino thanked Mr. Vataric for his support of the project.

William, Fords, questioned the recent law allowing students from other districts to come to Woodbridge. Dr. Crowe stated interschool choice is limited to school districts who choose to participate in the program. He stated he would not recommend participation to the Board. William asked if there are any plans to reinstated middle school and high school courtesy busing. Dr. Crowe stated that will not be a consideration in this current school year. Mr. Tamburello 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 absence; transfers and appointments of certified and non-certified staff; appointments of substitute teachers; adjustments in salary; appointments and changes of staff members for committees, after-school and professional development activities, home instructors, and coaches. Any information regarding the Closed Session discussion will be released to the public when the reasons for discussing these matters in Closed Session no longer exist. On motion by Mr. Tamburello, seconded by Ms. Leidner and carried, the Board retired into Closed Session at approximately 7:53 p.m.

The Board returned from Closed Session at approximately 8:19 p.m. and a roll call found all members present as were previously recorded, with the exception of Mr. Yuhasz who departed the meeting at 7:53 p.m.
