E. Superintendent's & Board Secretary's Report:
1. Student Recognition:
a) National Contest for Braille Writing 2014 Award: Mr. Isola advised the Board that an Aldrich 5th grade student, Evan Shymko, recently received a National Contest for Braille Writing 2014 award. Mr. Isola welcomed Mr. Andrew Smith, Aldrich School Principal to address the Board and recognize Evan for his accomplishment. Mr. Smith spoke on behalf of Mrs. Marlene Brown, Vice Principal, Mr. John Newton, 5th grade teacher, and the entire staff of Aldrich School, and he introduced Evan Shymko. Mr. Smith noted that in spite of the obstacles of Evan’s various medical issues, he received the second place award for his short story entry entitled “The Birthday When I Got Sick.”
b) National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship: Mr. Isola and Mr. Preston advised the Board of a former student, Sydney Hope, whose mother has been a long time employee in the district. Sydney received an award from the National Science Foundation Fellowship of $138,000.00 to pursue her scientific research during the next five years. Mr. Preston stated that Sydney was a 2006 graduate of Howell Middle School North, a Medical Sciences student a Freehold Boro High School, and a 2014 graduate of The College of New Jersey, with a major in Biology. She is presently a graduate student at Virginia Tech in the department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation.
2. March 2015 Suspensions:
Mr. Isola distributed the March suspension report and reported that there were 16 out of school suspensions during that time period.
3. Reconfiguration:
Mr. Isola, Mrs. Callander, Mr. Preston and Mr. Sanasac presented a PowerPoint proposal on the reconfiguration. Mr. Welsh raised a question regarding Memorial Middle School staffing. He questioned if the grades 5 - 8 certified staff will be accommodated as to their requests, or how will the staff members be placed in a best suited environment for their professional responsibility. Mr. Isola indicated that Administration will follow a very diligent process ensuring that staff and students are comfortable and see familiar faces when they arrive to school. He added that each staff member recently received a survey to indicate their individual strengths and desires in terms of tiers in buildings, adding that Administration will be very sensitive to the staff and will proceed to so in a respectful meaningful manner. Mr. Welsh asked a question about the two rising teams from seventh to eighth grade and whether there will be enough room for the

Page 4
students. Mr. Isola answered that the rising Memorial students will go together to Middle School North. Currently there is space available for those additional students, in addition to the professionals needed to have the numbers of teams that is necessary. Mr. Welsh questioned what alterations are needed to make Memorial an elementary school. Mr. Isola responded that when the building is occupied by the building leadership and elementary educators it creates a culture within the building to make it successful. Mr. Sanasac added there are not a lot of obstacles for the third through fifth grades as opposed to moving kindergarteners into the building where smaller fixtures would be needed. He mentioned that there is some discussion going on about the lockers and coatrooms and Administration recognizes that the middle school grounds are not similar to the other elementary schools. He stated that they are looking into ideas for a small starter playground. Mr. Sanasac stated that the grounds, as well as the interior of the building, will be prepared. He also indicated that the classrooms for the self-contained population will be addressed as well.
Mr. Miller questioned if Administration considered additional grade banding options and sister school setups regarding moving fifth graders to the middle schools. Mr. Isola and Administration stated that they explored different band configurations and other district models. Mr. Isola indicated that this configuration would allow students to move cohesively together. Mr. Miller questioned Administration regarding the bus ride from Aldrich to Middle School South. Mr. Sanasac responded that they looked at historical routes as well as specific house address routes and the overall average route will not change. He stressed that there is no distinct difference in the overall range of route lengths in the district. Mr. Moretti asked if there will be any need for additional for buses. Mr. Sanasac replied that the number routes to move the approximately 6000 students around the district to the schools will stay static, and the overall cost will be similar to current routes. Mr. Isola indicated that there currently is dialogue between the Board and Administration about increasing the fleet, regardless of the banding in order to increase the quality of service in the district. Mr. Bonjavanni questioned how the Nurse and Guidance staff will get to know their students. Mrs. Callander responded that the Nurses are assigned to a sister school in case of an emergency. The Nurses dialogue with the sister schools to get to know the medical needs of students in the event of an emergency. Mrs. Callander stated that the Nurse, Guidance, and Child Study Teams will have an opportunity to meet with their sister school staff to talk about the student’s needs. Mrs. Callander added that the Nurses meet during the summer and have an opportunity to meet with parents to discuss any medical needs or concerns. Mr. Bonjavanni requested Administration clarify how to address the parents concerned about being split into several schools. Mr. Isola responded that the current environment exists where the parents are split between the two bands, while recognizing there is a possibility of three splits with the proposed banding. He indicated that the district partners closely with the PTA/PTOs and will encourage a dialogue with the sister school pairings and the Building Leadership will play a major role in the transition. He also indicated that Administration will reach out to other districts with these configurations for guidance. Mr. Isola noted that the Back to School Nights will be coordinated district wide along with the high school to maximize opportunities for parent involvement.

Mrs. Brennan expressed her appreciation that the proposal incorporates sustainability and keeping communities together. She raised parental concerns about second graders becoming leaders in buildings where there used to be fifth grade leaders. Mr. Isola stated that the expectations of a fifth grader are drastically different than that of a second grade student. Mr. Preston noted that the oldest students in the building become the role models. Mr. Isola further indicated that the second grade students will have the opportunity to visit their sister schools and meet with the fourth graders in order to have a familiar face to see the following school year. Ms. DePompo asked if fifth graders will interact with the kindergarten and first graders. Administration responded they do anticipate that the students will interact together as reading buddies. Mrs. Cerretani asked if a fifth or second graders can be leaders in their own classrooms. Mr. Isola stated that they see leadership opportunities within every grade level emerge. Mrs. Brennan asked about the start times for the schools. Mr. Isola and Mr. Sanasac responded that after receiving feedback from the community, the sister pairings will have the same opening time. The exception will be with a district wide program for i.e., the ELL program; those students will be on separate buses to go to the single school.
Mrs. Brennan asked if the committee had any particular concerns and how Administration addressed them. Mr. Isola responded that Administration has been and will continue to work closely with the staff to address any concerns or needs. He further stated that Administration and Academic Council meets monthly and has an open dialogue where ideas and concerns are addressed. Mr. O’Brien requested a clarification on the purpose of the staff survey. Mr. Isola responded that the purpose was to have the capability to assign teachers as soon as possible if the proposal was to be passed. He indicated that the survey also gave teachers an opportunity to express their desires. Mrs. Brennan questioned if Administration foresees any major obstacles to implement this plan by September. Mr. Isola replied that every aspect of the implement is deliverable and they are confident it can be done in a meaningful manner by September. Mrs. Brennan expressed her appreciation to Administration for their availability, openness and responsiveness to the community. Mrs. Cerretani stated that Mr. Isola has attended staff meetings and attended their Representative Council meetings, and her impression was that staff was accepting of the proposed plan. Mrs. Cerretani voiced concerns about the busing as it relates to Tiers 1, 2 and 3. She stated that the start time is changing at Aldrich there have been various concerns from parents. She asked if there are any other possibilities of changing this and if so, what would it mean. Mr. Sanasac stated that Administration and the committee wrestled with the starting times and the tiers and it was determined that what was non-negotiable was to ensure that the sister pairs would be at the same time. He further stated that the only alternative was to have 5 schools with different start times due the tier configurations.

Mrs. Cerretani questioned if students will receive the same services outlined in their IEP’s? She also requested clarification about class sizes and the benefits of grade banding in terms of mainstreaming students. Mrs. Cerretani asked if the Speech, OT, PT, and Guidance staff will have appropriate space to do the work that they are presently doing. Mrs. Callander replied that whatever is in the IEP’s and 504 plans will continue to be delivered in a manner that is outlined in those documents. The goals and services will remain the same for those students. In terms of class size, she stated the district will continue to operate the class size as mandated by code. Mrs. Callander noted that currently the Child Study Team at Newbury operates out of a trailer they are excited that there will now be space in the building. Mrs. Callander also stated that she is excited about the possibility of exploring and building modeling community type scenarios at Memorial.
Mrs. DePompo requested that Administration elaborate on the need for banding special education students together rather than being placed in separate schools. Mrs. Callander replied that the cognitive impaired, autistic and the multiply disabled programs have services they use and needs that overlap and to have a community with those students would be positive. The staff will be located in close proximity to minimize travel and to be in those buildings where needed for collaboration. Mrs. DePompo questioned if the proposal does pass, what are the expectations of the teachers. Mr. Isola stated that the next step will be for Administration to determine the right assignment for the staff. He indicated that he does not envision a lot of movement outside of the grade bands that the teachers are familiar with. Mr. Isola stated that in the beginning of the school year when there is staff training perhaps one of those days can be designated for setup and make up that one day of training during the school year. He added that he spoke with Ms. Jacqui Tennant, HTEA President, to assist in partnering with the staff to ensure that the schools are ready. Mr. Moretti voiced concerns about students moving from Memorial to Middle School North and Middle School South, will be able to blend in with the other students. Mr. Isola responded that this issue is the epicenter of Administration’s concern. He also stated that the students will move in clusters and the designation of their class assignments will have peers from their previous community so that there is a familiar group of individuals with them. He stated that the biggest challenge will be the merging of the communities specifically in the middle schools. Mr. Isola stated that events such as a fall dance done with the two middle schools will help foster those relationships and Administration will strive to build an environment that allows the students to flourish. Mr. Moretti requested clarification that kindergarten students will be with their classmates through eighth grade. Mr. Isola responded the children will travel through the district on that designated path to ensure a sense of security and sustainability. Mr. Moretti questioned if Administration took into consideration that some of the new housing and developments may be age restricted communities. Mr. Isola stated that Administration works with their partners in the municipal government to obtain the actual information. Mr. Isola added that this sister school model allows for fluctuation in enrollment. Mrs. Cerretani raised the question of grandfathering.
Regular Board of Education Meeting April 15, 2015
Page 7
He stated that this issue has been looked at in great detail and noted that it would be a detriment to grandfather students, especially at the middle school level, since it would be broaching maximum capacity in the building. Administration is considering allowing the identified current sixth and seventh grade Middle School North students who are districted to remain (north of Aldrich Road and West of Route Nine) the opportunity to attend Middle School South with their current Aldrich peers.
Dr. Lowe questioned what specific opportunities will be explored at the K-2 and 3-5 levels for emergent literacy and math. Mr. Preston responded that by having the configuration of the primary grades this allows the professional development to be targeted for those grade level needs. He noted that a large emphasis will be placed on phonics work and phonics professional development. He also indicated that they can start looking at intervention and enrichment professional development opportunities. Mrs. Callander stated that when a staff member is in the grade level banded environment they can focus on that band throughout the day. Dr. Lowe questioned how professional development will focus on the special education and the second language learner population. Mr. Isola advised her that for the past several years the general education teachers attend Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) training for the ESL students to learn how to make the curriculum accessible to language learners. He indicated that the district has been recognized as a model program statewide for the past several years and will strive to continue to do so in this model. Dr. Lowe asked about the Response to Intervention (RTI) Program, looping, and multi age grouping. Mr. Preston indicated that they currently do not have a formal RTI program in place. He stated that they along with Mrs. Callander and the Supervisory Team have been in the process of fleshing out an action plan and the framework to move forward. He indicated that Administration has not discussed looping as a formal process, but it may a topic of consideration if the proposal is accepted. Mrs. Callander added stated that the district does currently have multi age groupings in the special class programs which would make the banding even more beneficial to allow for the most effective multi age groupings. Dr. Lowe commended and complimented Administration on their hard work and access to the community.
Mrs. Cerretani stressed that whether or not if the proposal passes the Board should direct Administration to have an RTI Program in place for the upcoming school year. Mr. O’Brien noted that the biggest impact will be for the middle schools. He questioned if Administration will address the community’s and the Board concerns regarding middle school students in extracurricular activities especially in cut teams. Mr. Isola responded that school athletics, co-curricular activities, and clubs play an essential part in a student’s life. He stated it would be his recommendation to add sixth and seventh grade teams to those cut sports. He noted that there is currently basketball for the three middle school grade levels, and he would like to recommend reinstating soccer for both boys and girls in grade six and seven. Mr. Isola stated that he would like to recommend the reinstatement of the level of teams in each school as they were in 2006.

Mr. O’Brien noted that in Middle School South, there are slightly higher average classroom sizes in sixth grade. He asked Administration if there are ways to look at modifying sections to reduce class sizes to be more in align with others. Mr. Isola responded that those are considerations that are given each year. Mrs. Callander stated that the number on the chart did not include the students in the LLD program. She added that there may be another section added to alleviate those numbers. Mr. O’Brien requested that Mr. Preston articulate a defense of the grade banding in terms of its impact on transitions in the district. Mr. Preston stated that the quality of the teachers is the number one factor in the student’s success. He added that the culture and climate of the building will be a significant change with the sister school pairing. Mr. Preston indicated that the principal pairings will start to establish what the new culture will start to look like. He stated that the sister school pairing will ensure kindergarteners will move together as an entire grade into that new building. Mr. Preston indicated that the rising fifth graders will be given the opportunity to meet with the students who will be the new third graders the next year to talk about change, transition and the wonderful things in the new building. Mr. Isola stated that he has been in contact with multiple districts throughout the state with grade bandings and not one of them indicated that the transitions weighed negatively upon their students. Mr. O’Brien questioned what would happen over the next three to four years to Memorial Middle School if the Board did not adopt this model. Mr. Isola responded that after one more year the Board and Administration would have to revisit boundary line movements and there would not be enough staff in the other middle schools to accommodate the number of students. He stressed that this would create a massive under-utilization of the two larger middle schools.
Mrs. Cerretani indicated that she has received questions inquiring if the district is being fiscally responsible. She stated that the Board could possibly redistrict the entire district and close two buildings for next. She questioned if this has been considered by Administration. Mr. Isola stated that is not the recommendation of the Administrative Team to close the buildings. He added that it is about maximizing the assets to build a community that is ready to succeed for its children. Mr. Isola indicated that there are collateral costs to the community both emotionally and financially if schools were to close and that stated that the community is still recovering from Southard closing. Mr. O’Brien called for a recess at 10:20 p.m. and reconvened with all Board Members present at 10:30 p.m.
