which will be led by our 2nd grade students from Ms. Louise Hanania‟s class from Roberto Clemente, one of T.J.‟s former schools. The School Principal, Ms. Lourdes Rodriguez, who has had the pleasure of teaching a young T.J., is here to lead her students in a song that they wrote about the City of Paterson. Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a warm welcome to our 2nd grade students from Roberto Clemente. (Performance by Roberto Clemente students) Ms. Corallo: Thank you, boys and girls. That was wonderful. Wave to Mr. Best on your way out - there he is behind you. He was once a 2nd grader, you know, and a naughty one. Comm. Best: I definitely had a desk in the principal‟s office when I attended Roberto Clemente. Thank you for putting up with me all those years. Good work was done. We have a couple of presentations tonight. That was the first. Tonight is going to be a fun-filled evening. Ms. Corallo, I turn it over to you. Ms. Corallo: Ms. Hanania is leaving, but I do want to mention that she is one of the finalists for Teacher of the Year. So congratulations to her. Obviously you can see why. What a wonderful job. So as the Commissioner mentioned, there are a couple of other special presentations tonight and we're going to ask our Board Commissioners to come down from the stage to greet some wonderful recipients this evening of special honors. We have our National History Day winners here and I'll introduce Ms. Ann Carlock, who is the Supervisor of Social Studies, to lead this first presentation. Thank you. Recognition of National History Day Winners Ms. Ann Carlock: Good evening. It's with great pleasure this evening that we're going to recognize the hard work of all our students. We competed on April 2nd at Seton Hall University at the Regional National History Day Competition and we did better this year than we have in the last two decades, even though we‟ve already established ourselves with a wonderful reputation. I'm going to begin with Eastside High School‟s School of Governance and Public Administration. A big „Congratulations” to Principal Johnson and the sponsoring teacher, Gloria VanHouten. Ms. Gloria VanHouten: Thank you. I'd like to introduce my students - Amanda Rankie and Natalie Rodriguez. Ms. Carlock: The next school that had a group of winners is Eastside High School‟s School of Information and Technology, so a huge „Congratulations‟ to Principal Gaines and the sponsoring teacher, Salvatore Balsamo.

Recognition of Basketball Teams from Eastside and John F. Kennedy High Schools Ms. Corallo: Thank you, Ms. Carlock. Our final presentation for the students tonight we have with us Ms. Eileen Shafer who is our Assistant Superintendent over the high schools and she is going to recognize our state and county champions. *Comm. Guzman enters the meeting at 7:27 p.m. Ms. Eileen Shafer: Good evening, Dr. Evans, Board President Best, and Board Commissioners. What a day of celebration here in the City of Paterson today. We had the opening of the state-of-the-art culinary kitchen at Eastside High School for the Culinary Arts, Hospitality & Tourism School. I know it was long awaited, but if you were there and saw the students it was well worth the wait. The celebration of the National History Day winners and now the celebration of three athletic teams here in the City of Paterson, two from Kennedy High School and one from Eastside High School during the same season in the same year. The young ladies and the young women that you're about to see worked very hard academically to stay athletically eligible and they did that with great pride as they represented the district of Paterson. But it took a whole lot of commitment, dedication and long hours of practicing to get where those three teams got in the State of New Jersey. I had the pleasure of watching all three teams towards the end of their season and remember clearly one Sunday going from North Jersey to Rutgers down to Toms River in order to catch the two games, and ironically they gave me about a two-hour timeframe to get down there. But it was great the way those students represented us, not only on the playing field but in the area of sportsmanship. It would make all of you extremely proud of our students. The coaches worked endless hours, monitored their athlete‟s grades, but more importantly were role models for all of these students. I can't tell you how extremely proud I was as not only did I watch our student athletes win but unfortunately I watched them lose and they did that with great pride and sportsmanship. I want to introduce to you now the Principal of John F. Kennedy High School, Joseph Andriulli, and the Athletic Director, Jim Fitzgerald. They will introduce the coaches and the student athletes from both the women‟s team and the men‟s team who went extremely far in the State of New Jersey this season. *Comm. Mendez enters the meeting at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Joseph Andriulli: At this time, I'd like just to thank the Board for taking this time to recognize and honor the young ladies and men of the two teams. They truly deserve it. I speak on behalf of the entire staff and the student body to say that we're extremely proud of them, not only for winning the titles, but also for the way they conducted themselves on and off the court. I must commend the coaches for working with those students, not just on the court, but also off the court. One thing great about this season was the rivalry that we watched in those championship games when Eastside and Kennedy fought it out for those title games. Fortunately, we split and we both came away with titles. It's a testament to that long-standing rivalry between the two great

Page 6: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 6 04/20/11

schools of this district that goes back to the 1920s. So I'm looking forward to more of that rivalry in the future. At this time, I'll turn it over to our Athletic Director who will introduce them, Mr. Jim Fitzgerald. Mr. Jim Fitzgerald: Thank you very much. It's a great honor to be here to honor all of the Paterson teams that achieved so much this past year. Speaking on behalf of the Kennedy Boys‟ Basketball Program, girls‟ and boys‟ collectively, they are the recipients – we don't have the banner yet – of the IBOA Basketball Officials Association North Jersey Sportsmanship Award. That will be forthcoming. I'd like to first bring up the 2011 edition of the Passaic County Boys‟ Championship Basketball Team, led by Coach James Ring. Mr. James Ring: Thank you Mr. Fitzgerald, Principal Andriulli, and Ms. Shafer. Before starting to talk about my team and my players, I would also like to commend Coach Burgess and the Lady Knights for their tremendous accomplishment this year. I would also like to commend Coach Griles and his staff and the Eastside boys for doing something that has not been done in 89 years in Passaic County. It was a tremendous accomplishment. Five of my members are not here tonight. The sophomores and some of the juniors are playing in the State AAU championships. But my first two juniors I'd like to announce are the two captains for next year‟s team, Sam Singletary and Gary Simpson. Now, I'd like to introduce to you my three seniors. The first one last year was lucky to even be on the JV team and his hard work is just a testament to the quality of the person that's inside. I have nothing but the utmost praise for Kaheem Davis. Kaheem will be attending Bergen Community College in September and then in the following September of 2012 has been accepted to Richard Stockton State College down in South Jersey. Kaheem Davis. The first of my two senior co-captains, Jamir White, was a Paterson Catholic player for three years. Upon the school closing he chose to come and play here at Kennedy. Jamir is an NCAA qualifier, which means he has SAT scores and as GPA that both qualify for Division I scholarships. However, playing as a second fiddle at Paterson Catholic for three years he really didn't get enough looks on a Division I level. So although he is qualified academically he has chosen to go to prep school next year and he has three commendable schools that are looking at him to increase his Division I offers as far as his athletics are concerned. Jamir White. Jamir was a first team all-county and also a first team all--area basketball player. My other senior co-captain was a four-year player for us in the program. He too was an NCAA qualifier academically with GPA and SAT scores that qualified for a Division I scholarship. He has been accepted to Montclair State and Newark Rutgers. However, he may go to prep school like Jamir to get a possible better look from Division I schools. He is a 1,000 point scorer for us, and again he was first team all-county and also an all-area basketball player, Dewan Lighty. Mr. Best, much success in your future. You‟ve been a tremendous asset to the Board of Education of Paterson. Thank you so much. Mr. Fitzgerald: As the boys take their pictures, it's my pleasure to bring up the Sectional Final North Jersey Group 4 and the North Jersey Championship Girls‟ Basketball Team who went to the full group finals and lost in the fourth quarter. I‟m going to bring up Coach Marquette Burgess, Coach Clarence Bush, Coach Randy Walker, and the JFK Girls‟ Basketball Team. Mr. Marquette Burgess: Good evening everyone. I first of all would like to thank the Board members for once again recognizing all of the teams and students this evening. I want to thank my coaches, Mr. Andriulli, Mr. Fitzgerald, all of the parents and players, and just everyone who came out and supported us throughout this season. I'm going to call down first of all my seniors. First we have Alisha Brown. Alisha will be attending

Page 7: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 7 04/20/11

Bloomfield College on a full athletic scholarship in the fall. Next we have Jacqueline Lee. Jacqueline will be attending Kean University this fall. We also have Tiara Marshall. Tiara has finalized her list. She will either be attending Felician College or Living Stone College. She hasn‟t made her decision yet. We also have Kenisha McQueen. K.K., as we call her, also has several schools that she's deciding on right now and she plans on making that decision in the short future. My final senior is Janay Pipkin. She too is finalizing her college decisions. Lastly, I have several underclassmen, many of them who are being recruited by several Division I colleges right now – Erica Brown, Morgan Taylor, Nalasha Lewis, and Tasia Dominic. I also have a few players who were unable to make it tonight, but I also would like to thank them as well. I would also like to extend a big thank you to Ms. Shafer for coming out several times this season and supporting us. Lastly, I believe I have nine young ladies here this evening. Seven of these young ladies have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Again, I just personally would like to commend them for being able to juggle and balance academics with athletics. We spend a lot of time together, especially during the season, and they get home rather late, but they're still able to take care of the homework, study, and do the things that are necessary to put them in the position where they are right now. Thank you again. Ms. Shafer: How about another round for those fine young men and women. In addition to Kennedy High School, Eastside High School‟s Boys‟ Basketball Team did very well in the states. At this time, I want to introduce Principal of Operations who oversees athletics, Mr. Zatiti Moody, and the Athletic Director, Gerald Gleason. I want to recognize in the audience the three principals from Eastside High School, Edgar Nieves, Culinary Arts, Vivian Gaines, School of Technology, and Karen Johnson, School of Government and Public Administration. Mr. Zatiti Moody: Thank you very much, Ms. Shafer. At this time, I'd just like to take a moment to thank all of you guys for acknowledging this great accomplishment. I don't know if it‟s been stated that this is the first time in 86 years that this has been accomplished by a public city high school. It's an excellent accomplishment that needs to be acknowledged. This was not something that was done by one coach or one administrator. This was a team effort. Like Ms. Shafer stated, we have to give kudos to the entire Eastside staff led by the administrators of the building. At this time, I'd just like to have the coaches come forward. Our freshman coach, Coach Sangster, please come forward. One of our assistant coaches, Coach Gilbert, please come forward. Our first assistant coach, Eddie Hill, he was standing in for our Head Coach. Our Head Coach just came from class, Coach Juan Griles, please come forward. Again, Coach Griles, we talked about this. He rushed from class but he is a true testament to our young people that education never ends. Every teacher has a teacher and every coach has a coach and we try to instill that in our young people as we raise them to become the men of our community. At this point, I'm going to ask Coach Griles to please come forward and introduce his seniors and then the rest of his team please. Coach Griles. Mr. Juan Griles: Thank you. Once again, I apologize for being late. I really don't like being late for anything. But I already missed three weeks of class during the state tournament. I'd like to introduce a really good group of kids. First, I'd like to introduce Kyrie Jackson. This was his first year playing varsity basketball. He also plays on the football team. He has great charisma. We're looking to either send him to prep school next year or depending on what he chooses, football or basketball. My next young man is Nashaun Brimley. Nashaun Brimley is a great little kid. He studies at Sports Business Academy. He might be small in stature, but he's probably one of the toughest kids on the team. Nashaun wants to go play at Bloomfield next year. The next young man is Mr. David Burgos. David Burgos was our starting point guard. He has a couple

Page 8: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 8 04/20/11

of offers. Actually, he has four offers from different schools. He hasn‟t made a decision yet between Manhattan and Fairleigh Dickinson. We're trying to include some southern teams like Norfolk State. But it's a big decision on him and his father and I'm here to guide him. David Burgos. The next young man is Mr. Najee Seabrook. Najee Seabrook is like the engine in the car for our team. He is a physical specimen that definitely gave us a lot of strength in the paint. He can actually play a 6‟9” guy or a 6‟ guy. Najee Seabrook is looking to go to PCCC or to pick up a trade for next year because that's what he loves to do. Najee Seabrook. The next young man is Jason Wright. Jason Wright is also a dual sport player. He plays on the football team as you can see from his size. He's looking to go to prep school for football. I think this was his first year playing football, but on the basketball team just by being 6‟4” and 260 he was a tremendous help for a lot of teams. The next young man is Damer Hansford. Damer Hansford attends Eastside. He is a very skilled big man who can shot the ball. He is one of our better shooters on the team. He was also one of the kids that was always working very hard in practice. He's looking to stay in the area and go to Bergen Community College as well, Damer Hansford. The next young man is Mr. Jordan Smith. Jordan is only a junior. He‟ll be a senior next year. Jordan attends Science and Technology. He came off the bench for us and gave us a lot of energy. He's a very solid defensive player, always at every practice. We expect big things from him next year. Jordan Smith. The next young man is Mr. Nassir Crawford. Nassir Crawford also attends Science and Technology. He's a great student, about 3-5. He‟s one of our mentally tough kids on the team. He's also a junior and we expect big things from him next year. Nassir Crawford. The next young man is Mr. Quateer Jackson. Quateer Jackson is only a sophomore at the moment. He's our most athletic player on the team. He's also high jumping at the moment and doing the 400 hurdles. He's only a sophomore and we're looking for big things from him for the next two years, Quateer Jackson. The next young man is Najee Ricks. Najee Ricks actually plays three sports. He's a very good football player, he plays wide receiver and low middle linebacker, he started 15 games for us on the basketball team, and at the moment he's a high jumper for the Eastside track team, Najee Ricks. The last young man is Shaquille Murphy. Shaquille Murphy is one of our hardest workers on the team. He's been on the team since the summer. As far as his workouts, he's never missed a workout in the summer. He started on the JV team but because of his work ethic we brought him up toward the end of the year and he made everything about it and the players love him, Shaquille Murphy. Just some final words. Let me take a picture first. Sorry about that. I won't be long. I just wanted to say I really appreciate the support from the Paterson community, the administration, and the teachers at Eastside. It's been a tremendous year. We worked very hard and we look for our young men to be leaders in the future. We're talking about basketball today, but we also expect them to be good citizens of the Paterson community and be great leaders and examples for the other kids that are on the JV team. Once again, thank you very much. Ms. Corallo: Congratulations. We have one final presentation. I know you guys have been standing there for a long time. But without further ado, here is our Superintendent Dr. Donnie Evans. Special Recognition Dr. Evans: This has been a great evening, when we can recognize our students for their accomplishments, particularly academic accomplishments. We definitely want to recognize them for their accomplishments in sports, but there are academics tied to it. As you heard, the winners of the history contest, that's academics. In fact, if I recall correctly, if Ann is still here, we won 50% of the awards. That's an accomplishment. Then you also heard as the athletes were being introduced their academic successes

Page 9: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 9 04/20/11

as well and they definitely deserve recognition for not only being strong athletes and being recognized for their work and winning as they did, but also for their accomplishments in the classroom. So we really appreciate that. This next recognition is also much deserved. First, I'll start with the Board and its work. Many folk think our Board gets paid to do what it does and I think they‟ve reminded everyone more than a few times that they don't. They invest a tremendous amount of time and energy in doing the work that they do to make sure that the children of Paterson get the education that they deserve. They work very closely with me and while we don't always agree on everything the one thing we agree on is that our kids deserve much more than they're getting now. The disagreements may be how to get there, not what's needed, and I really appreciate their effort. Like any successful organization, any successful institution, leadership is everything. If you want to make sure that a project is going to work, put it in the hands of a capable leader, make sure that they have the resources they need, give them the altitude they need to do what they need to do, and good things will happen. Our Board is no different. In fact, Manuel Rivera, who was the 2006 Superintendent of the Year for the American Association of School Administrators, said, “If you are not attracting lightning, you are not providing real leadership.” The leader on our Board, the person who is recognized as the President, and he gets a lot of support from others on the Board, has attracted a lot of lightning in some ways, but has provided real leadership. Our Board has progressed tremendously and I‟ve been very pleased in the past two years with what I've seen and the work that we‟ve done together. But it's moved to another level. When folk ask me these days about local control and is our Board ready for local control, no question at all. The work that they're doing together with us clearly indicates that they are. But that's a function also of strong leadership. President Best has provided very strong, competent leadership for the Board during the past year. He not only has brought the Board together on some very difficult issues, but actually brought the district together, created some conversations that may have been uncomfortable for many of us at times, but ultimately led us to a better place. I'm also pleased to consider him an advisor. We met once a week, he's quick to give me his advice and tell me what he thinks, and we actually use a lot of that advice. But he's a deep thinker and I really do appreciate that. It‟s helped us to make sound decisions. It's guided the Board in its work in helping it to make sound decisions around policies and other items that we've brought for the Board‟s consideration. It gives me great pleasure to recognize him for that work. This is his last meeting as President of the Board, as many of you know. While I'm going to miss those Wednesday meetings, he may drop by anyway and let me know how he feels as he usually does. But I've grown to appreciate it, I really have, and I'm going to miss him as Board President. T.J., if you would come forward. We have for you a small token of our appreciation and it says, “Special Recognition Award Presented to Theodore Best, Jr. in Appreciation for Your Dedicated Service and Outstanding Commitment to the Board of Education and the Children of Paterson. April 2008-2011.” That's the three-year term that he has served on the Board. We really do appreciate your work. Comm. Best: I know my fellow Board members are tired from standing, so I won't be too long here and I'll make more remarks in my presidential address. I just want to thank Dr. Evans for recognizing me. These last three years have really taken a lot of work. All the progress that we made as a district was due to the hard work of my fellow Board members, both current and past. I think over the last 20 years of being a state-operated school district when I was only in the third grade to finally see us on the cusp of once again putting the control of this school district back into the community‟s hands where it belongs and it deserves is all a testament to the hard and wonderful work that you guys have all done. So with that being said thank you. I'm going to miss each and every one of you. I'm going to miss the four, six, and eight-hour marathon meetings that we have. My wife is very happy that I no longer have to be at those meetings and my

Page 10: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 10 04/20/11

baby is also happy. I just want to point out my wife, Kianna Best, and my baby girl, Riley Marie Best. As you all know, at our last Board meeting I had to leave a little early because my wife was actually in labor and I rushed to the hospital and the bay was born on St. Patrick‟s Day. Even though I'm very proud of being the youngest member by a week ever elected to the School Board, this by far is my most precious and important achievement in life. So again, I'll make some additional remarks, but thank you all and this will go in my new office. Thank you. Dr. Evans: If Mr. Kerr will join us for an additional presentation. Let me say when we look at the students that were recognized tonight, T.J. is a shining example. He came through Paterson Public Schools and he's a shining example of what this district can do. He has mentioned that from time to time as a mechanism for inspiring and motivating our children and I really do appreciate that as well. But just know that every child in this district can do what T.J. has done. Comm. Kerr: T.J., we do appreciate your contribution to the Board and we do appreciate your contribution to the district as a whole. We don't want you to leave tonight without giving you this special award because we want to have you be the President always. So this is it. What we're going to do is we're all going to sign it and then we‟ll put it back in its frame and you'll have it. Comm. Best: I have to mention this. When I first got elected, and I guess when Wendy and myself came in, it was a revolution. We were really young and people thought we were actually students in some of the buildings that we went to. I remember going into several buildings in the district just to do a walk-through, observe, and meet with the principal and always constantly being stopped with, “Who are you? What are you doing here? Where do you belong?” So we asked, so that people would understand that we were Board members, to have our pictures placed in all of the buildings. Dr. Evans, I want to thank you for doing that and that will serve a special place in my home. Thank you. Ms. Corallo: Thank you, Board members. Please return to your seats. That concludes our special presentation. Now, we‟ll continue with the regular program. Comm. Best: We‟ll take a five-minute recess to allow everyone to clear the room and then we‟ll gather back. The Board took recess at 8:06 p.m. The Board reconvened the meeting at 8:07 p.m. Comm. Best: We're going to reconvene the meeting now. I'm going to remind everyone to please silence your cell phones as they do interfere with the recording. That being said, I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Evans for his State District Superintendent Report. REPORT OF STATE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Evans: I have three brief items that I wish to mention. One is an extension of the comments that were made and that I‟ve made regarding the student recognitions. Coach Griles, I think he's probably left the room already, but I just want to recognize him for his efforts. Not only his efforts as a first-year coach at Eastside, but also the fact that he is in school himself and he explained to you all that he came in late because he was in class. He missed a number of classes during the tournament, but that kind of

Page 11 04/20/11

dedication is much appreciated. And the fact that he was able to take his team to the championship and win also speaks a lot about not only his tenacity, his desire, his competence, but also his willingness to give of himself beyond the norm for our students. We really do appreciate it. Secondly, I want to recognize Lourdes Rodriguez. Did she leave? Lourdes‟ school, which is Roberto Clemente, received an Achievement in Education Award as a Title I school recently. I don't know that many were aware of that information. It either has been or will be included in one of our blue notes for the Board giving them the details. But we do appreciate her for the work that she does at Roberto Clemente and the work that she, her teachers, and her students are doing as demonstrated here tonight. Lastly, it has already been referenced that today we celebrated the official ribbon-cutting opening of the kitchen in the Culinary Arts Program at Eastside High School. If you haven't seen it, you need to go see it in action. I thank all of you who participated in that endeavor, all of you for your patience as we waited and had to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to get there, but we got there. It is up and running and it is fantastic. The kids are doing wonderful things in that kitchen already. In fact, they were doing wonderful things before the kitchen opened, but I do want to thank Principal Nieves and his staff and the students who were there and made this a smashing success. Thank you, Mr. President. REPORT OF BOARD PRESIDENT Comm. Best: I just handed out a resolution to all of the Board members that I would like to spend a little bit of time on and read into the record and hopefully we can take a vote on it. That resolution is of support for the contract renewal of our State District Superintendent, Dr. Donnie Evans. As many people know, Dr. Evans is a State-appointed Superintendent and his contract is negotiated by the Commissioner of Education and the Governor of the State of New Jersey. At the conclusion of two years in the district the Commissioner needs to decide whether or not they want to move forward and renew Dr. Evans‟ contract. As a result of several of his evaluations that we've done over the course of the last two years each one overwhelmingly showed that the Board has support for Dr. Evans. Tomorrow afternoon I will be meeting... Dr. Evans: It‟s been rescheduled. Comm. Best: It has been rescheduled, but soon I will be meeting with the Commissioner of Education to talk specifically about Dr. Evans and the support that we as a Board have for him in the renewal of his contract. That being said, I would like to take formal action today by having Comm. Irving read this resolution into the record and then taking a formalized vote. Comm. Irving: Early on this week, I had a conversation with the Superintendent and we were just discussing the status of the potential contract that he's presently in. I spoke to the President after the conversation with Dr. Evans, and Comm. Best, myself and thanks truly to Cheryl Williams, because Cheryl really helped pull this together within the last few days, we have put together a resolution and I'm going to read it verbatim and then put a formal motion on the floor. The resolution states:

RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE CONTRACT RENEWAL OF STATE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT DR. DONNIE W. EVANS

WHEREAS, the public schools in the City of Paterson provide instructional services for approximately 31,000 students in preschool to grade twelve, and it is in the best interest of said students as well as the entire Paterson community that all children receive a

Page 12: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 12 04/20/11

quality education that will provide promising and successful opportunities in the future, and WHEREAS, under the leadership of State District Superintendent Dr. Donnie W. Evans, the Board of Education has worked on development and implementation of the Strategic Plan which covers all critical areas of district operation directly linked to positive student outcomes, and WHEREAS, the Board of Education has made substantial progress in the Governance component of New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJ QSAC) in obtaining eighty-eight percent (88%) in the 2010 final review, and a perfect score of one hundred percent (100%) in our most recent self-assessment, thus showing the Board‟s readiness in making the decision of selecting a superintendent in accordance with Title 18A:17-20, and WHEREAS, the Board of Education has complied with Title 6A:32-4.3 for the annual evaluation of the chief school administrator, which provides a basis for the review of the performance of the chief school administrator and subsequent recommendation for renewal of his contract, and WHEREAS, the Board of Education has determined that the performance of Dr. Donnie W. Evans has more than met expectations as an effective educational leader, and WHEREAS, the Paterson Public School District has had five superintendents in the past seven years, and WHEREAS, the Board of Education believes the district is moving in the right direction and improvements are being made, and that the continuity and stability of the current superintendent is vital for the success of its children, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Paterson Board of Education expresses confidence in the educational leadership of the State District Superintendent Dr. Donnie W. Evans, and recommends to the Commissioner of Education and the State Board of Education the renewal of the contract for Dr. Donnie W. Evans for an additional three years. Submitted by: PATERSON BOARD OF EDUCATION April 20, 2011 It was moved by Comm. Irving, seconded by Comm. Taylor that the above Resolution be adopted. Comm. Irving: There is one edit that I need to make. In the sixth “whereas” it says the Paterson Public School District has had three superintendents in the past five years. That needs to be changed to five superintendents in the past seven years. Comm. Taylor: I agree with your change. Comm. Best: Motion was amended as read. Are there any other questions? Comm. Hodges: Mr. President, are we voting on the amendment first?

Page 13: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 13 04/20/11

Comm. Best: Okay. We‟ll vote on the amendment. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative to amend the resolution. The motion carried. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative to adopt the resolution. The motion carried. Comm. Best: So Dr. Evans, congratulations. Dr. Evans: Thank you very much. Comm. Best: Let's hope this resolution of support and recommendation to the Commissioner works out a lot better than the last one we've given. I think it will. I really think it will. REPORT OF BOARD PRESIDENT Comm. Best: Again, as you can see, this is my last meeting as both President of the Board of Education as well as a Commissioner on the Board. It has been my honor and privilege to serve on this Board over the course of the last three years and as I look back on what we've done in the last three years it's been a lot and we've made many accomplishments that we all should be proud of. Just to name a couple, we consolidated all of our scattered administrative offices into one building, which allowed us to save money in our budget, allowed for more collaboration amongst departments, and allowed for better efficiency and effectiveness in what we do here in the district. We reorganized many of our failing schools in the district, including our high schools. This has increased our graduation rates. Over the course of the last three years we have decreased our dropout rates and although they haven't risen as high as we would all like them to, we have increased our standardized test scores. Of course, you hear us talk about this a lot and it was no easy task, but I think it's very important to mention...(end of tape) (Beginning of new tape)...the significant increase in our NJQSAC scores overall. When I came to the Board three years ago, and as we know, I'll just put it out there again, QSAC is a law that evaluates all school districts evenly. Newark, Jersey City, and Paterson, the three largest school districts, are also all governed by the State of New Jersey. We're all operated by the State of New Jersey and Senator Rice in his wisdom proposed this legislation that would allow us in Paterson to be evaluated evenly and the same as other school districts throughout the State of New Jersey, all 600 plus school districts. In doing so it would show that in fact this third largest city in the State of New Jersey with 150,000 residents can find nine Board members that are qualified, competent, and able to lead this district. On the first QSAC evaluation, which was a pilot before I joined the Board, unfortunately we scored very low. In fact, in governance, which is the responsibility of this body, we had 11 points out of 100. The way the legislation is written is that if you're able to score 80 out of 100 it shows that you're proficient in that section and therefore eligible to govern yourselves under a locally operated body. That being said, our last evaluation that was certified by the state saw that increase by 70 points. We went from 11 to 88 out of 100. And in our most recent self-evaluation that we're still waiting for the state to certify, we scored a perfect score of 100 out of 100 in our governance section. Now, although I'm very proud of the many accomplishments that this Board has done, I'm still troubled by the fact that we're nowhere where we need to be. Three years ago when I joined this body it was because I was committed to the work that needed to be done for the academic success and the future success of all of our children in the City of Paterson. Being a proud product of the Paterson Public School System, attending Roberto

Page 14 04/20/11

Clemente, School 15, School 6, and graduating from Eastside High School in 2000, I was only one of 33 kids in my class at Eastside High School that attended a four-year college or university. The reason I made it out wasn‟t because of my own volition. It was due to the fact that I had very committed teachers, mentors, role models, coaches, and friends, some of which are sitting on the Board right now, who committed ourselves to wanting to do more. Those people were there to lend a hand to us in our times of need. I constantly talk about our former assistant superintendent, Dr. Joseph Fulmore, who was my principal at School 6 and has remained my mentor for a very long time. Every time I see him and I have a chance to tell him, I look him in the eyes and I say, “You saved my life.” I say that very seriously. For a kid growing up in the fourth ward on 12th Avenue and Rosa Parks Boulevard, the statistics are stacked against you. I know that it was through his work as well as other people in the district, including Kemper McDowell, who was one of my track coaches, Kenneth Sumter, Burnie Bristow, who I see in the back and who was my former teacher at Eastside High School and School 6 that helped to guide me through the way. After I had the privilege of graduating from Rutgers University, the first of my family to graduate from college, I always think that it's interesting that my last name is Best. People always said, “You have to strive for the best. Are you the best?” To think that in the entire history of my family and my name since we came to this country, not willingly, but since we came to this country over 400 years ago, that I'm the first person with my last name to actually graduate college. Again, I know that it was because of these people and I made a commitment to break that cycle. Now it's my commitment that my daughter and that my siblings and all the other Bests that come behind me will all graduate from college. I want that same thing for every kid in the City of Paterson. It was a moral commitment and a moral obligation that brought me back to the City of Paterson. I spent some time in Washington D.C. and I had a great time in Washington D.C. It was wonderful working in the Capital. I was on the ground when Barack Obama first came to the Senate. I had many opportunities to meet with him and many opportunities to meet with the Former President, Bill Clinton and also Hillary Clinton. It was just a wonderful opportunity that I had there and then I came home to Paterson to visit. I came home and I had a chance to walk round the community where I grew up. I had a chance to talk to some of my friends who weren‟t as fortunate as me, who didn't have the teachers, mentors, and role models that I did. I saw that much hasn‟t changed. They're still in the same predicament, locked into this trap and held victim and limited to the circumstances of their immediate reality, not being able to see that wonderful vast world that exists outside of the borders of the City of Paterson. That's when I made a commitment that I needed to do something and I joined the Board of Education. This has been a very thankless job when you look at the public. But when I look back at the students that I was able to help, not just sitting on this Board, but when I look at the individual kids that I was able to help through working with the Paterson Youth Council, I want to thank my colleague Eddie Gonzalez, a former Board member who works with me as an advisor on the Youth Council, as well as Bob Guarasci, who is the founder of the Paterson Youth Council. As I have a chance to work with those students every day and see them when they get their college acceptance letter and personally take them down to the College of New Jersey, Rutgers University, Montclair State University, all the way to Howard University, and to see them go to these colleges and universities, I know that this commitment and this sacrifice that I've made over the course of the last three years has been well worth it. I commend every single person who has come before me because this is a stewardship and I know that I'm leaving it behind in some wonderful and great hands. The same commitment that I've demanded of myself I've seen from my fellow Board members that are sitting here today and I just want to really thank them all for the countless hours and all the work that they do on behalf of our students in the City of Paterson. But the work is really not done. Unfortunately, last year in the City of Paterson out of a freshman class that started four years ago in 2000

Page 15: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 15 04/20/11

we were only able to send 256 of our graduates to a four-year college or university. This number really troubles me and actually keeps me up at night. With a $523 million budget, with 30,000 kids in this district, 2,000 freshmen starting off, do you mean to tell me the best we can do is 256 kids to a four-year college or university? It's unacceptable. I'm confident that this body, underneath this leadership of Dr. Donnie Evans, is taking the district in the right way where we will see an increase in those numbers and hopefully if 2,000 freshmen come in we will have 2,000 graduates and 2,000 kids going to a four-year college or university to make the most out of their lives. So again, I want to thank you all for all of the hard work that you‟ve done. I want to thank you for being my friends. I want to thank you for putting up with me. To the senior members, I want to talk to the veterans on the Board, Dr. Hodges, Comm. Taylor, and Comm. Kerr. I know when we came it was different. We had some new ideas. Some of them were idealistic and we were very forceful in our approach. I want to thank you for putting up with us. I want to thank you for putting up with me. I want to thank you for buying into my leadership on the Board of Education. I think this year we were able to accomplish so much and I knew it was that great sacrifice, especially as I look down to my good friend Dr. Hodges who has been on board and behind me when it really mattered. I want to thank you all for that. Lastly, the staff, especially the administrative staff, Cheryl, Lucy, Maria, Tineish, Ms. Jones, Terry, and the assistant superintendents, they work so hard for our kids in the City of Paterson and they work so hard helping us to be prepared for these meetings and really going above and beyond and I want to thank them for all of the work that they do. This is the final lastly and then I'll stop. I just want to really thank my wife who is here today, who brought my one-month old baby girl, Riley Marie, with her. Thank you for putting up with these long meetings. I know you're going to leave here and I probably won't be home until about 11:30. Hopefully we can make it a quicker meeting than that. But thank you again for sticking by my side, for understanding my commitment to the City of Paterson, and for understanding my commitment to the children of the city. I know that together we're going to raise a beautiful young lady who will make us both proud. That being said thank you all. PUBLIC COMMENTS It was moved by Comm. Taylor, seconded by Comm. Mendez that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be opened. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried. Councilman Andre Sayegh: Good evening, Andre Sayegh, 292 Lakeview Avenue. First, I want to commend the members of the Paterson Board of Education for taking the bold action in sending a message to Trenton by saying you support our Superintendent. You‟re not only supporting a man, but you're supporting a vision and you're supporting stability for this district. Comm. Irving, you had to actually amend the resolution. When I served on the School Board for four years we had three different superintendents. Then Comm. Best mentioned that the last time we had a vote of confidence for a superintendent it didn't go quite as well, right Dr. Hodges, Comm. Kerr, and Comm. Taylor? It was a 6-1 vote. At least now it's 9-0. So you sent a unified strong message and hopefully the Commissioner and the Governor will be responsive and will listen to the will of elected officials who represent people who have put them in office. I stand here in support of our Superintendent Dr. Evans, his vision and the stability that he has brought to this district. Tonight is proof positive that we can't afford to go in a different direction. We're heading in the right direction and the right direction includes local control, finally to remove the yoke, Dr. Hodges, of Trenton and that control that has been exerted for over 20 years. You can rest assured I've spoken to our Vice President and Chairman of the Education Committee at the City Council and the Honorable

Page 16: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 16 04/20/11

Anthony “Ebony” Davis will be acting on this as well to give you a vote of confidence. So hopefully we can strengthen the case to keep you here in Paterson where you belong at least for the next three years, or perhaps keep you a little bit longer. I also wanted to address a proposed policy. I know that Comm. Simmons and Comm. Mendez have been talking to you about this and it's been something that I've been advocating since 2004. That's school uniforms. The debate has raged on. How will it save us money? How will it save us time? Will it address the issue of bullying? Will it address the issue of people competing over name brands? That‟s what you need to address. You need to make a cogent argument as to how taxpayers, or more importantly, parents will save money. For a large population that has come from other countries where they do have uniforms maybe you can speak to the experiences that you‟ve had, whether it was Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, or anywhere where they're had uniforms. Speak from your experience. Use anecdotal information as to how it instilled discipline and a seriousness of purpose in all students. But above everything we talk about how students should be competing over what they know and not over what they wear. The most compelling aspect of any argument should be how you can save people money and how ultimately it can improve behavior and perhaps affect student performance. Thank you very much. To our outgoing Commissioner and School Board President, Theodore Best, Jr., I congratulate you. You have certainly developed as a representative and an elected official. So take the lessons that you‟ve learned from this Board and bring them to the next Board that you're going to serve on. Thank you very much. Councilman Anthony Davis: Good evening. They're not here right now, but I'm sure they will watch this. So let's give the Roberto Clemente 2nd grade students a round of applause for a job well done. Those young students did a great job. The name is Anthony Davis, City of Paterson. I'm here for three things actually. Good evening Dr. Evans. Good evening Commissioners. It's good to see you all. Good evening Paterson. The first thing I'm here to talk about is I want the students to know that they are great and talented. I do not care what anyone says about them that is negative or disheartening. You need to know all the students in the City of Paterson are great and very talented. So I'm here to say that I love you and the community loves you too. Again, the second thing is I want to congratulate Eastside High School boys, John F. Kennedy High School girls, and John F. Kennedy High School boys for their tremendous and wonderful accomplishment that they took on and they delivered. So we definitely want to give them a handclap. Let's give them a handclap please. Thank you. Dr. Evans, I want you to know that I publicly support you and I think that you're doing a wonderful job. I believe that you do care for our children and I do believe that you want to see them succeed. Also, by you investing in Paterson, it shows that. It's a testament saying that you do care and you want to. So yes, forthcoming we will have a resolution voting in confidence of you. I will get on that tomorrow morning. I want you to know that. You can clap for that if you want. The last time I voted for a superintendent it was no confidence. I don't know if you all remember that back in 2002. We need to know and I want to talk about this next thing that has touched me so much, and I'm sure parents are here and if they're not here they are listening and looking. Dr. Evans, I know you have a hard job. But I want you to know that there are some teachers, even administrators, who should not even be here. They should not be here. If any teacher or administrator is going to talk down and talk negatively about our students, our pride and joy, they do not need to be here. I don't know what the outcome is going to be with that one individual. But I'm letting you know that I'm not going to stand idle and let anything not happen to them. I want something to be done. But the scary part about it is she is not the only one. There are other ones that are here and I'm sitting here saying that. So your job and your assistant superintendents, I want you to be on the ball in terms of seeking out these individuals who should not be in my city. I

Page 17: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 17 04/20/11

want you to know that. Without further ado, we need to know that life is short and for urban youth life is shorter. We don't have time to play. This is a hard game and a hard time, so we want to support our youth, our students, both academically and in athletics. Another thing, we were successful in terms of the basketball and I'm going to wrap. I'm getting ready to get out of here. We were successful in terms of the athletic basketball teams, both Eastside as well as Kennedy. I am a Knight. I played basketball one year but I'm a football player and I played all four years. I pray that you do not cut any part of athletics because that's an area where most of our kids only hope. They have hopes, dreams, and desires. It's a good spirit. If they don't have that, they're not going to come back again. So we do not need to take away anything that's going to help them succeed in their academics and in their life, period. So I want to say thank you. President Best, congratulations. Good luck for your future endeavors, whatever they may be. For the rest of the Board members, just know that you guys are doing a wonderful job and I want to commend you all as well. Dr. Evans, please, anything that we can do, because I do support you. I believe that your heart is in the right place and your vision is here too. So thank you very much and god bless. Dr. Burnie Bristow: Good evening, I'm Dr. Burnie Bristow, resident of Paterson and also the Vice Principal at School 6. I came here today simply to tip my hat and bring my personal thanks and gratitude to one Mr. T.J. Best. I wanted to take a moment, if I might, to share a couple of moments with you about T.J. Best and also to take an opportunity to publicly thank T.J. He talked about how special people in his life saved his life and I wanted to acknowledge and share with you how he has shaped and changed my life and been a part of my personal transformation as a professional. I want to go back and give you a little history lesson. I ran into Mr. Best and we brought this Sysco Networking Academy to the Paterson Public Schools, the Microsoft IT Academy, and we had recruited an all-star team. We had a bunch of valedictorians, Jason Mitchell, Ivan King, Johanna Rojas, and we had an intellectual swagger going on. This young man comes and says, “Mr. Bristow, I would like to be a part of your academy.” I said, “I don't see your name on the list, son. Tell me why you think you should be a part of this academy.” I gave him five minutes and he began to talk and he was very persuasive even back then. I said, “Do you know what, T.J.? If you come here at this stage in your high school career – and as Dr. Evans said, we never like to tell a child what they can't do – but if you come here, you're going to be an upperclassman. I'm going to expect that you would be a leader for our younger students.” In addition to that, he was talking about how he loves computers. I said it's going to take you about 400 hours in addition to your regular school day to complete this program in one year. I said, “Do you still love computers?” He said, “Yes, sign me up.” That began a wonderful journey and a wonderful relationship between me and T.J. As time would go on T.J. became a great leader and a great mentor to our students. T.J. would graduate and go on to Rutgers and I would go my way. Years later I would be in a doctorial program studying educational policy and I was getting a chance to go to D.C. to really understand how educational policy regulated or failed to regulate the art of teaching and the science of learning. The first congressman I went to meet was Congressman Pascrell and we were discussing instructional technology policy. I was waiting for Congressman Pascrell to come through the door and in from the door come Mr. T.J. Best. I was so proud and a lot of people would say, “If that Sysco program was so great how come T.J. didn‟t become a computer engineer?” T.J. loved technology, but he also loved people. He understood early on that the next civil right in our country was going to be access to technology. We had to close this digital divide. In walks T.J. and we began to continue conversations that we had five years ago when he was a student. Expect this time we were having it on Capitol Hill. He opened doors to other Congressmen, Senator Boxster, Senator Feinstein out in California, Congressman Miller, Congressman Pascrell, Congressman Rangel, who was the ranking member of

Page 18: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 18 04/20/11

the House Ways and Means Committee. He was a personal part of my transformation from classroom teacher to instructional leader and I want to take an opportunity to tell you thank you. As I started this transformation, I wanted to share my gifts on a much broader stage in the City of Paterson and those opportunities weren't coming fast enough for me. I had a conversation with T.J. and was going through my litany of accomplishments and he saw right through that bravado, that it was masking a certain hurt and frustration. I told him maybe my time is up. I remember standing here and T.J. Best, the President of the School Board, my former student, was here and we were recognizing Carlos Torres, one of my Bill Gates Scholars. We saw Tisheira Bolds‟ mom in audience, another Bill Gates Scholar, and I just got a call from Joel Alba, another Bill Gates Scholar from the University of Miami, and Lorraine Nicotra had called me. I understand that's also Dr. Hodges‟ alma mater. She's interning this summer at Sysco Systems in San Francisco. I mentioned to T.J. that my time may be up. I ran a good race in Paterson and it may be time to move on. He looked at me and he said, “Wow, weren't you the man who told me that leaders don't need a title? Now that you have your superintendent license, principal license, a National Board Certified Teacher, and now you're becoming a doctor. Now opportunities come and you're going to pick now to chase a title?” He said leaders like you and Dr. Fulmore, there's not a title for what you do for children like me. I knew then that my ideal life wasn‟t in Malibu and it wasn‟t in Miami Beach. My ideal life was right here in Paterson. When they appointed me to Vice Principal at School 6 and I knew that leaders like Dr. Fulmore had come through there and Mr. Hoff and Mr. Medley and students like T.J. Best, I had an opportunity now to impact other children. T.J., I want to take a moment and publicly tell you thank you. I also want to take one last moment and acknowledged how close. We are a cat‟s whisper from having our school district back. I remember having a conversation with T.J. about what our strengths were as a district, what I thought and perceived them to be, and what our weaknesses were. The profound thing he did was he didn't let what we couldn‟t do stop us from doing what we could do. He took that idea and that framework and that vision and that leadership and we're so close under your leadership to returning our district on a silver platter back to local control. If you don't do anything else for me tonight when you see this in the TV, on the sound of my voice, I'd just like for all you to stand up for a minute and tell this young man thank you with a round of applause. Thank you. I'd like to congratulate Dr. Evans. Dr. Evans, I've been long-winded. My time is up. You're a great Superintendent and I find you to be an even greater man. I just cannot be more thrilled with the support that you're receiving from our School Board. Dr. Hodges, I've never had an opportunity to thank you publicly when I became a National Board Certified Teacher. I never told you this. They honored me and that night Superintendent Clancy had called a special meeting and a lot of people could not attend. Dr. Hodges made a two-hour drive to be a part of that special moment in my life and I want to tell you how thrilled and how thankful I was to see my then President of the Board of Education show up and support me in that special moment in my life. I want to get a chance to tell you thank you. Lastly, we've been acknowledging the boys. They won this basketball championship and it took them 89,000 years to do it. But the girls from Eastside, it hasn‟t been 89 years for the girls. The girls from Eastside High School under the direction of Kim Russo and Coach Black won the Group 4 State Championship and played Shabbazz in the finals a few years ago. Even after Ms. Essence Carson left, Ms. Russo, Arabic Rollins and Shadasia Green had come to Eastside to play for Ms. Russo and they won the Group 4 State Championship under her direction after Essence Carson. So I just want to take a moment to congratulate the Lady Ghosts. Comm. Best: Thank you, Dr. Bristow. The check‟s in the mail. He well exceeded his three-minute time limit. But when somebody‟s talking so well about you, how do you stop them? It is a courtesy of the chair to extend it past three minutes. I want remind

everybody if we want to get out of here in respectful time please try to keep it to three minutes, unless you're going to pour on wonderful remarks about how wonderful and great I am. If you want to talk about how bad I am it's only one minute. Ms. Irene Sterling: My name is Irene Sterling, President of the Paterson Education Fund. I want to encourage everybody who sees this tape at home and everyone who‟s in the audience right now to participate in what the School Board did tonight because as important as your action was to pass a resolution to support Dr. Evans, the voices of everyone in this community to do so are just as important. So I want to give you two phone numbers and I want to urge you to make this phone call tomorrow or whenever you see this on the cable station. It will not be too late to make the call. The first is to the Commissioner‟s office and his phone number is 609-292-4469. You tell Commissioner Cerf to please leave Dr. Evans in Paterson. But talking to the Commissioner is not sufficient. So I urge everybody to pick the phone up a second time and call the Governor‟s office. The Governor can be reached at 609-292-6000. That's the general switchboard. Again, you tell the Governor‟s office to keep Dr. Evans in Paterson. If you prefer e-mail you can go to the Paterson Education Fund website, www.paterson-education.org, and on the right-hand side there's a tab that says “act” and if you click on that you can get e-mail addresses and contact information for all the legislators in the State of New Jersey and the Governor‟s office and you can contact every single one of them that you want to and tell them to leave Dr. Evans in Paterson. There's another action I want you to take and that's a week from now. In a very unusual move, our School Board election is not being held next Tuesday. It's being held next Wednesday, the 27th. It is time for all of us to go out and vote for members of the Board of Education and I want to encourage everybody to do so. Over the last three years we have increased the number of voters every year and that's very important to demonstrate that the people in this city care and they want to do right by their kids. If you're not sure who to vote for, you can go on our website, that's www.paterson-education.org, and there you will find our candidates‟ guide. You can call our office at 973-881-8914 and we can get copies to you. Hopefully, if you are a registered voter who voted in the last School Board election your personal copy will be in your mail tomorrow. There isn‟t anything more important that we can do than to stand up and be good citizens by taking action when we need to, by voting in our elections, and by raising our voices for what is right. What is right is to make sure that the leadership we have in place now stays in place so we can make the changes that have been desperately needed here for a long time and finally we have a chance to make them. Thank you. Good evening. Mr. Bilal Hakeem: Good evening Superintendent Evans, Board President Theodore Best, and Commissioners of Education. Good evening. I came down to address maybe three issues. The first issue I want to address is I want to thank Comm. Kenneth Simmons for fostering the boys‟ summit in the early part of this month at International High School. It was well attended. I know he didn't do it alone. I know there are several people that worked with him to see to it that it happened, but he is the one who stepped forward with the vision and we want to really thank him. Listening to President Theodore Best talk about the mentors that he had, at this particular boys‟ summit mentors were there to mentor the young men. I know I was there from the beginning to the end. We participated and it was wonderful. So I say hats off and thank you. What he did wasn‟t just a one-day event. Out of that some other commitments did come out of that where we can definitely develop better working relationships with our school district. The other issue I wanted to say is I remember T.J. Best as a student also at Eastside High School. I remember his teacher, Burnie back there. From what my eyes saw, he was a good student. He never gave me a problem at Eastside at all and as his teacher mentioned it made my heart very proud to see him step into the arenas that he

Page 20: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 20 04/20/11

has stepped into and to be the best at them, to be excellent. I salute you. I'm very proud of you because there are a lot of young men that I see that are just out on the street that were there when he was in high school. Some of them are in the ground. I've been to some of their funerals and some of them are in prison. But he chose to accept the mentors and the advice that was offered to him. They had opportunities as well. So he definitely has distinguished himself and I want to just come here tonight publicly to say thank you for your leadership, especially as a young man on this Board. Thank you. To Comm. Kenneth Simmons, with the high dropout rate that we have throughout the country in urban areas and for him to put something on like this in the schools to set up a mentorship to focus our young boys that you can achieve. You don't have to take the other route. You can stay on course and there are other people who will be available to assist you and to cheer you on. The other thing I wanted to mention, Dr. Evans, is thanking you. I thank you for responding in a timely fashion and thank you for the courtesy, Mr. President. Thank you for timely answering the call when we reached out regarding the incident at School 21 with the teacher. It's the first time a Superintendent called me on the phone and I spoke with him on the phone. I really want to thank you for taking that initiative and I shared that with the parents who had a concern that you did reach out. In the conversation that we had you said that it wasn‟t going to be swept under the rug and that it is an HR issue right now. I'm here tonight just to find out exactly where is that at. Parents still do have a concern. I do know that she is not in School 21 nor is she inside of a classroom at this particular time, but the parents need to know. Also, parents need to be more involved in terms of the academic performance and what is happening at these schools right here. That is one issue but there are some deeper issues. Communicating with people, if you talk to people and you don't put walls up you find out more things and you can change your perspective on a lot of things. Parents have to get more involved. I wish Mr. Kemper McDowell was here. I think he has to be a little bit more effective with the Parent Resource Center in terms of getting information out and getting it to parents to show them how they can navigate in the system and understand exactly what's going on inside these schools. It's a lot of problems that we're dealing with in the Paterson area right now. There are a lot of problems that we're dealing with and a lot of parents are afraid, as I mentioned to you in a public forum once, even sitting here. I heard T.J. talk about NJQSAC. He explains himself but a lot of parents are afraid of language, the unknown. If we take the time out to break things down so that they can understand exactly what's going on with the language, because it's a whole other language that we're speaking, I think they‟ll be able to navigate the system a little better. But there is a concern about the teacher and what's happening. Two other things and I'm finished with this microphone. The arts and music I know were taken from School 21. Is there any way that we can get that happening again? Councilman Davis mentioned about the sports and athletics, how that serves as a bridge. I think art and music serves as a bridge also. I think we need to look into that, particularly at that School 21. The other thing is that in terms of changing the composition of schools, particularly at School 21, it goes all the way up the eighth grade. Is there any way that we can take that school, start at the beginning, go to fourth grade, and from fifth to eighth grade break that school up? There's too much clash going on there. That's too much range, I think. The last thing I want to say is as we applaud our students for athletic ability, which they should be applauded, I really think that the leadership in the schools in this district should have pep rallies when there are academic achievements. Bring the band out and cheer that up. Do you know what I mean? That's all I have to say tonight. Mr. Fernando Martinez: Good evening, Dr. Evans and Commissioners. Fernando Martinez, 316 Totowa Avenue, Paterson Education Organizing Committee. I would like to start appreciating President Best‟s time on the Board for the last three years. A lot of people don't understand that it's a volunteer position and whether or not you feel like

Page 21: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 21 04/20/11

you have accomplished a lot we really appreciate the time that you have put into the Board, and also to the other Commissioners as well. I would like to mention that I took a few parents to the Supreme Court this morning for the hearing about the School Funding Reform Act. I don't know what's going to happen, by the way, because it's hard to tell from the comments or questions that the judges were asking to the state. But from my perspective the state had no case pretty much. It was just like, “The economy is very difficult. Give us a break.” That was pretty much what it was. But while the whole hearing was going on they were talking about the core curriculum content standards and how the districts were going to comply with the core curriculum. Then I started thinking, let's analyze what the contents are and I remember that we were working in one campaign in Paterson trying to get the music and arts back in Paterson in the classrooms. We have delivered, Dr. Evans, some letters and petitions asking you to please consider allocating money for the music and arts. In the last leadership meeting we had we were a little disappointed. We appreciate your sending us a letter back, but we were looking for more information about a plan of how we are going to do it. But we're still going to continue waiting for a little while and we appreciate if later on after the whole situation with the budget and everything you can grant us a meeting. That would be very nice. As the previous speaker was saying, the music and art has been taken away and some of the members participate in the auditions for Rosa Parks. One of our members also got accepted there for Rosa Parks. But the comments from the students were, “I don't know what to do. Nobody prepared me for this audition right here. I didn't know how to dress. I didn't know what to do.” So one more time, we would like to see the music and arts back in the classroom for September 2011 whether or not the Supreme Court judge decides to force the Governor to give us the money - number one. Number two, we don't even know if he's going to give it to us. Whatever happens there we don't have control over that. What we have control in Paterson is how we can comply with the core curriculum standards in the music and art part of those standards, and also the language arts. So that's one thing. The other item that I wanted to bring to the table is, and I'm going to be very brief because I really appreciate you offering the 15 minutes but I'm not going to take them, is the school construction, the school facilities. We called on April 12th to your office asking if Mr. Marc Larkins with the School Development Authority come to Paterson if we can be part of that. Later on we learned from Dr. Hodges that actually you guys had to go to Trenton and that surprised me that Mr. Larkins didn't give you much response to your questions at all. So we're going to continue bringing the issues to the table about school construction and the facilities in Paterson. The last point is I want to talk to the people that are watch this meeting at home. I want to remind them that the next Board of Education election is not on Tuesday, but on Wednesday the 27th. That's one thing that is different. It's not on Tuesday. It's on Wednesday. The other thing is that you have the choice to elect three Commissioners, not only one and not only two, but three. So do your research and elect the right person that is going to help to advance the educational agenda in Paterson. Thank you very much for your time. Ms. Denise Thomas: Good evening everyone. My name is Denise Thomas from 13 Lee Place in Paterson, New Jersey. I'm here tonight in support of the parents regarding the issue that took place at School 21. The article hit the front page in Paterson on April 2nd. A friend of mine, well I call her my sister because we grew up together, her child was in that school and she was calling all for parent support. My child attends School 26, so I'm here in support of her. Also, I'm just here in support just as a parent, period. I would like to congratulate the young brother here on the Board, Best. I'm so glad that you had good teachers and good mentors in your life during your school time. But it's unfortunate that you can tell the generation has changed. I don't know what to call the teachers now. They're downsizing our kids and just not treating our kids good. They're not getting that treatment that you had back in those days. But back to this right here,

Page 22: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 22 04/20/11

you also mentioned that you are voting to keep Dr. Evans here another three more years. But my question to you, Dr. Evans, is in the terms of you being appointed here three more years you stated that our kids deserve better. What do you plan on doing with the teachers that are just mistreating our kids? Do you plan on interviewing them and setting up some type of schedule? Are you going to interview them and see which ones are qualified and which ones can handle a load of kids or handle a classroom of kids? Do they have classroom experience? I think that needs to be addressed because some teachers here are young and they don't have the classroom experience. They don't, not to carry on 18 or 20 kids at one setting. I wanted to also say that I have a message for the teachers here in Paterson, the whole district of Paterson. My message to you all is if you don‟t have love and if you don't have any nurturing and any patience for our kids, by all means leave. Do not stay. We have carried our kids for nine months and we're not going to have our kids for nine months and then nurture them up to a certain point to carry them over and put them in your care for eight hours for you to abuse them. So I think that's a precious stage for that statement to have hit Facebook and for that lady to have made that statement to a kindergartener. I think she should have lost her job automatically. I believe that if it had been in another town in another county right then and there she would have lost her job because it would have been rampant with parents. Parents would have come to make sure she would have lost her job without pay. For her to be still hanging around and being suspended with pay, it's sad that we don't have a whole lot of parents sitting up in these chairs because the walls should have been flooded with parents here. It should have been flooded because it's sad. They should take these things seriously. This is a very serious issue. We're talking about our babies here. We're talking about our babies that some day will want to be in Best‟s shoes. But they won't have that chance if you have teachers here that don't care. You have teachers that don't care. Then for her to be saying “future criminals,” you better hope that they don't come knocking on her door later on in life robbing and stealing her if they're going to be future criminals. So please look into that matter and don't just take this lightly here because I'm speaking out for all the parents, a lot of the ones that were not able to be here. I'm speaking for everybody and I think that if you're going to be here for the years to come and be around in Paterson, please do something serious about those teachers because that's important. We still have other babies to come in and we still have to make the road clear for them. We have to have new teachers to take care of these babies so they can have a better life. Thank you. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin: Good evening, my name is Vicky White Franklin. I'm here to represent the parents and also my husband who is here. He's not able to come up because he had surgery on his foot. I want to commend you, Comm. Theodore Best. I really do appreciate that you took the time and patience to represent our children because there's a saying that my mother used to tell me when I was younger. A child can't get any more than what you give them. If our children don't have role models to look up to, who are they going to look up to? I am a parent who has a child who was in that class and I'm here to represent her and any other children for that matter that were in that class and for the parents who could not be here. When this was brought to my attention, me and my husband were very upset. Because of the Christian people that we are we prayed on it and we wanted to make sure that we were not going to do or say anything to misrepresent our children for the City of Paterson. I also work along with our Home School Council President. Her name is Ms. Sakiah Harrison, who was also the parent of a child in that class. I am a parent that goes to the school just about every chance that I can get to be there to make myself known that I am a parent that is available to the teachers. We only have one child that's in that school and she's seven years old. I find it very disturbing to hear that a teacher would make such a comment. We send our children to school every single day. We encourage them to go to the school, be respectful, don't be rude, and don‟t be disrespectful. Because when they

Page 23: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 23 04/20/11

leave out the door they represent us and when we leave out the door we represent them. For a teacher to sit with such a certification that she felt that she could make a comment on Facebook, which is a nationwide site, how could you have thought that you were going to make a comment like that and get away with it? Then you have the audacity to come to the school and think it was no problem. We just don't understand that. So I do agree with everything that Bilal said and Denise. Something has to be done. Please forgive me. No disrespect to anyone. But if we went into a non-urban district and we did that, I tell you no lie, we would have been reprimanded for that and I feel something needs to be done. I just have four questions that I just sat here because when it comes to children I'm very about children. I had a chance to be able to work in the school district, not with a high position as some of the other teachers or the other staff members, but because I used to be a parent that used to look on the inside out. When I say that, I mean that I used to sit back and say, “Why don't the teachers do this or why don't the teachers do that?” I got a chance to work at School 21 under the supervision of Ms. Rowe and that position that I took on was the lead monitor. I heard when I first took that position nobody wanted that position because it was just too much to deal with the children. But you know, I believe God puts people in places for a reason and when he put me there I had the privilege of working with the children and the teachers and I got a chance to see exactly what the teachers were going through. But that does not justify for the matter of that type of statement being made for our children. And for her to say that, she as a certified teacher, and I know there are other teachers here as well, she is supposed to be representing her fellow colleagues. Not all teachers are bad, but when you have one bad teacher that does something like that she makes it bad for the rest of the teachers. So I really would like to take this time and I have these questions that I would like to say. We would like to know how she could make a comment such as that when she represents all her fellow colleagues. What is the protocol if a teacher is a negative influence on a child striving for positive academic education? Isn't it true that a certified teacher is supposed to carry out her oath to be a positive role model for the children that they are hired to teach? How do you tell your child that the teacher of first grade children just learning how to spell and put sentences together that he or she thinks of them as criminals before they've even had a chance to grow up and be young productive men and women in our society? So can you please explain that to us as parents? There are parents out here that want to help and that do want to come into the schools and volunteer. But sometimes you have administrators in your school that don't want to work with the parents or don't want the parents to come in because they're afraid that they're going to see something that they shouldn‟t see. Well, I have news for them. I'm going to be that parent to go the school and volunteer. If that means I have to go to that class and sit there every single day to see what that teacher is doing, then so be it. Those are our children, as Denise said. Those are our babies. We carried them for nine months. None one, and when I say no one, has the right to discriminate against them. No one has the right to put them down. No one has to tell them what they can be and cannot be. Us as parents and for the parents who do want to see their children grow up to be young productive males in society there is no justification for that type of a statement. As a parent, I speak on behalf of my husband and on behalf of the parents that are not here. We want justice because this is not right. I can see if maybe the children were being rude, disrespecting her, bullying her, or were doing things to her to make her uncomfortable. But that was not the case. I say that, why? Because I am a parent that went to her and I said to her, “If my child is giving you a problem...(end of tape) (Beginning of new tape)…I don‟t care because whatever it‟s going to take for us to work together to make our child be able to be the young productive child that she needs to be to grow up in our society, by all means. You have my full cooperation. So what do you do when you have parents like that? What do you do? I‟m sorry, but I‟m very upset because this has been lingering on. We have sat

Page 24: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 24 04/20/11

back and tried to be as patient as we could possibly be. But it seems like the matter is just going to be swept under the rug and that‟s not fair. Comm. Best: You have every right to be upset and we share in your sentiment. I‟m going to take those questions from you. Unfortunately, because it‟s a personnel matter we can‟t answer it in this venue. We‟re going to get you written answers for everybody at the school and I‟m going to ask Dr. Evans and his staff, if he doesn‟t mind, to actually address the parents at School 21. So I‟m going to ask him publicly. Dr. Evans: Sure. Comm. Best: He said okay. If you give me that we‟ll get you all of the answers that you asked for and Dr. Evans will come to address and let you know what future actions will be taken. Unfortunately, we can‟t discuss it here. Ms. Franklin: Right. I understand. Comm. Best: But we‟ll come to the school and let you know. Ms. Franklin: I understand. Thank you. Comm. Best: Give it to me and we‟ll take care of it. Ms. Franklin: Thank you. It was moved by Comm. Mendez, seconded by Comm. Taylor that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be closed. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried. BOARD COMMENTS Comm. Taylor: You started at the wrong end. I‟d like to just say thank you to T.J. for his service for the three years that he‟s been here. But you see, T.J. has a little history even though he‟s not a very old man and I‟m glad to see it because he‟s one of our students. I think he‟s going to do more for our community. I thank all the teachers who worked with him and all of us at NAACP and at a lot of our different organizations in town that supported him as a child and as he grew up. When he went away to work with our Congressman Pascrell we knew he was there and we watched for him all the time. So we thank you for the service you‟ve given to us these three years. You‟re kind of snippy and snappy, but it‟s okay. I understand your love of people and we have to be very, very careful in our love for people that we do think it through and do it in the right way. I know you‟re going somewhere else to help us with more community work at another level. I‟d also like to thank the children who came in from Old Roberto Clemente, because that‟s where you‟re from – Old Roberto Clemente. The principal there and I worked together for many years and I know it‟s still a thriving school and it‟s still receiving stars and it‟s still up there where it should be. I‟d like to thank the boys and girls who put in all the long hours in the athletic division and the coaches. I especially like the new program that they have at Eastside where the students who are having difficulty or want to do better in their studies come at 6:30 and 7:00 in the morning and they study. The coaches come and mentor them. I think that‟s fabulous. I think that‟s so good. I want all the schools that have athletes to do that, if they‟re able to, and encourage students. Sometimes students if they work so hard at their game and they work hard at their academics are tired. It‟s a very tiring thing to be a good student and a good athlete. I know because I‟ve been there. I‟ve been both. So I‟d like

Page 25: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 25 04/20/11

to also thank the parents for caring for their children and working on trying to get them to bed so that they can rest enough so they can study. I‟m not sure because I don‟t have any facts on the latest scores that our children received in their testing. I hope it‟s better and I thank this Board for asking for Dr. Evans to stay on with us. We have had so many people come and go. You feel a sense of abandonment and that‟s not a good thing. It‟s the same with Mr. Hernandez who went to the Supreme Court and Dr. Hodges who went to the Supreme Court. I‟m telling you that we feel abandoned by more than just a Superintendent. We feel abandoned by our other people in the communities. I understand the parents from School 21 as well and we‟re going to help Dr. Evans help you figure this out and get things sorted out. We don‟t want people in our district who are disrespectful of our parents as well as our children. Our children need love and respect, and our people have to have integrity who do the teaching. I am a teacher, I will always be a teacher, and I know what it takes to be a good one. I‟d also like to thank the persons who came from the community to speak about the mentoring program. We need as many mentoring programs for boys and girls in our district. We need to grow up and know what it is to be a good citizen, and know what it is to be a good student and learn while you‟re in school because the time in school is very brief. You think it‟s a long time, you think it‟s boring, but it is only a brief time of your life. Then when you recognize that it‟s over and you haven‟t studied enough, then parents that is when we cry our tears. But I‟d like you to vote on the Wednesday the 27th. Vote for three people. We need three good Board members here, right Dr. Hodges and Ms. Guzman? Comm. Hodges: I agree. Comm. Taylor: So we need three good Board members and people who will give the time and the energy. It‟s a lot of work and it‟s a lot of reading and it‟s a lot of thinking about the right kinds of arrangements, along with your fellow Board members and also the Superintendent and the staff. We‟ve had a hard time with our state government, but we‟re going to overcome all of that. T.J., you know what I mean. You get there and you help us overcome at that level. Thank you. Comm. Hodges: You going somewhere? Comm. Simmons: First, I want to congratulate all of the students and all of the athletes who were recognized here this evening. Also, today I had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony at the School of Culinary Arts, Hospitality and Tourism. I was extremely pleased with the finished product, the kitchen, and extremely impressed with the students. The food was actually pretty good. Presentation was outstanding. As some of you know, I do own a catering company and I actually talked to some of the students. I did say that if the food was good I may allow them to work at a few upcoming weddings. On April 9th, as was mentioned, we put on the inaugural Boys Leadership Summit. It was an outstanding day. We had 300+ boys in attendance. A lot of people from the community came out. We had the President of the PSE&G Foundation, the Vice President from BET Network, amongst others, to come out and speak and mentor to boys. I wanted to just thank all of the people who helped to make it happen - Dr. Evans, Assistant Superintendents Eileen Shafer and JoAnne Riviello, as well as a host of other people, such as the BROTHERS Organization, and also Ms. Cheryl Williams who from the first mention was on board 100% and did a lot of work. She would call me or I would call her and we talked on the phone a lot. Luckily, I have unlimited minutes. But thank you for all of your hard work. We received a lot of positive response and because of that plans are actually underway for the Valerie M. Dade Girls Leadership Summit. We received responses from around country. I received calls from Iowa and in May I‟ll be going to Chattanooga to assist a group down there in setting up

Page 26: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 26 04/20/11

a boys and girls leadership summit. It tells me that it is needed. There is more to education and increasing achievement than just sitting here behind this table. We have to get out into the community and get the community involved. I also wanted to thank the Board members who participated, Dr. Hodges, Comm. Kerr, Comm. Mendez, and President Best, who did complain about teaching three classes, but he did an excellent job. Comm. Taylor: And excluded women. That‟s what you did. Comm. Simmons: It was also an opportunity for some of the businesses in the community to support McDonald‟s and Dunkin Donuts. We had breakfast and lunch for the boys and the parents and at the last minute, I believe it was Wednesday, I found out that the commitment that I had was no longer a commitment. So after spending all day Thursday and Friday on the phone with those businesses they came through in a big way. So hats off to those businesses who support our children and support our community. Lastly, President Best, it has been a pleasure serving with you. I‟ve learned a lot from you about what not to do. It has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you for your leadership because without your vision some of the things that we‟re doing now, even the Boys Leadership Summit, wouldn‟t have come to fruition. So thank you and much success in your future endeavors. I‟m pretty sure we‟ll be working together again and good luck. Comm. Best: Thank you, Comm. Simmons, and again great job at the Boys Leadership Summit. I did teach three classes that day, but it amazed me how attentive they were and the turnout was amazing. Again, there were 300 young men from the City of Paterson in attendance. The community support that you were able to get was amazing. Even though all of them have been outstanding and wonderful, this one really stood out to me because it‟s a passion of mine. So thank you for the opportunity to work with you in that event and thank you for volunteering your services to be my campaign manager, for this future endeavor that we‟re seeking. So I really appreciate that. Thank you. Comm. Rodriguez: First, I would like to start by taking the opportunity to thank our President T.J. Best for his service, for his dedication, and more importantly for the passion that T.J. has for the children of Paterson. Your leadership has made a big difference in this Board and I don‟t have to mention all the progress that we have made as a Board, but it‟s well documented how far we have come along and how far we‟ve been making progress on this Board under your leadership. I wish you well and I hope to see you serving this community in a difference capacity. Anything that I can do to help you continue to serve this community, even though it‟s in a different capacity I will. Second, I want to take the opportunity as well to congratulate all of the students that we recognized today. Make no mistake about it. We are so proud of every single one of you. Every time you do something like that you just fill our hearts with joy. We are very proud of your accomplishments. Finally, I believe that everyone has been in pain in the City of Paterson with the tax increase that we received from the city administration. So we need to come forward with out of the box ideas and maybe in the box ideas to bring Paterson and take Paterson out of the hole that it‟s in right now. So in the coming weeks I‟ll be introducing to this Board, especially to the policy committee, a policy that is going to be called Small Business Encouragement Program. I had a brief conversation with Dr. Evans and he has the experience and he‟s seen that policy work in other districts. But basically in that policy we‟re going to look to support the reinvestment of Paterson taxpayer dollars into Paterson small businesses. In this policy we‟ll be looking to provide our small businesses with a feasible opportunity to participate in the district procurement programs. I‟ll provide each one of the Board members with a draft in the

Page 27: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 27 04/20/11

coming weeks so we can debate it off camera and come together with a policy that will help our small business and in consequence it‟s going to help every single resident of the City of Paterson. Finally, to the Eastside students of the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academy, I really thought that I was a cook because I can make hot dogs and stuff like that, especially in summer, but these guys are just amazing. I‟m very, very pleased how the kitchen came out. I believe they‟re going to be taking a great level of opportunity with that kitchen and we are very proud of all of you and everything that you are learning. Thank you, Mr. President. Comm. Guzman: I have a whole list here. I first would like to congratulate the recognitions that we had here this afternoon where we recognized the winners of National History Day and the winners of the basketball teams. Like I said, I know absolutely nothing about basketball, but I did have the opportunity to go to one of the state championship games between Kennedy and Eastside. I was just running back and forth. All I know was that one team shoots to one hoop and the other team shoots to the other. That‟s as far as I know about basketball, but I had a great time. I want to thank the original Roberto Clemente students who were here giving a performance. I attended the original Roberto Clemente as well as Comm. T.J. Best back when we were little tiny kids. So that‟s my joy. I also want to congratulate the Culinary Arts family from Eastside on the grand opening of their kitchen that was held today. Unfortunately, I couldn‟t make it but I want to congratulate them because I know it‟s something they were really looking forward to and actually get them up and running. I would like to congratulate Comm. Simmons on the summit that he had this past weekend. I heard it was a very great turnout. He did tell me I was not allowed to go so I did not go. I followed his order. He said no ladies or females allowed. I was a little upset, but I followed his orders. So, Commissioner, this time I listened, but next time I won‟t. I heard it was a great turnout and the kids were truly inspired and came out very motivated. So I congratulate you for actually bringing that forward to the young men of our City of Paterson. Dr. Evans, what can I say? As you can see, we as a Board as a whole entirely have seen that you since the time that you entered our district have worked collaboratively and have worked to move our district forward, which is our main focus – our children. I congratulate you. I thank you for giving me this opportunity of working with you. I believed in you when we sat together and heard what you had to bring to the city. I realize and I have seen that you have kept your word and you are actually moving the city forward. I thank you very much for all the wonderful work that you have done. We will continue to be striving and working collaboratively with everyone who is willing to join us so that we can continue to have you here in our district. To my School 21 parents, I understand you completely from a parents‟ perspective. I am a mother and I am a product of School 21. I attended School 21 right after the original Roberto Clemente. I went on to School 21 where I attended kindergarten through 5th grade. I will tell that when I was in School 21 I was proud of being part of School 21. When I was transferred out of School 21 in 5th grade I think I cried for an entire week. My teachers were very inspiring, very motivational, and I have a lot that I can say about School 21 and the teachers that I had at that time. Unfortunately, it saddens me that at this point in time we don‟t have teachers who think like that anymore from when I went to school there, which was not too long ago, by the way. We won‟t go there with the timing. To talk a little bit about our President T.J. Best, there‟s a lot I can say about T.J. Best because T.J. and I have basically grown up together. We did start in the new Roberto Clemente after School 21. We went on to School 15 and then we went on to Passaic County Tech and then we found each other again sometime when we were in college. Then we eventually ended up running for the Board of Education the same year when we saw each other‟s names on the petitions to run for Board of Education. But T.J. is a young man that I fully respect, someone that has come to this district and has worked to make sure that our children receive good

Page 28: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 28 04/20/11

education, and to make sure that the teachers are doing what they need to do in the classroom. He has put our principals and our administrators in check. I can guarantee you that much. I thank you, Commissioner. It is an honor and a privilege to know you for so long and I thank you for all the work that you have done. I congratulate you. For those who don‟t know, which I‟m sure that the majority of us know, we have now our Commissioner who is now leaving our Board of Education has been nominated to be a candidate for Freeholder for Passaic County. I am extremely, extremely proud of that. I don‟t think they could have picked a better person. I know that the work you have done here in the Board of Education as a Commissioner you will take it along with you as a Freeholder and from there you will help us much, much more. I truly count on you, I believe in you, and you know that I do. I am very proud of that next move and I know you will be our future Freeholder for the County of Passaic. As some of my colleagues have mentioned, Board of Education elections are coming up. It‟s next Wednesday, April 27th. What I say to the community is come out and vote. It‟s for our children and it‟s important. Each and every single vote counts. As a mother and as a person who has sat here for three years, I encourage everyone to come out and vote. Vote and make sure you read every candidate. Know what each candidate is about and what each candidate is willing to do. Make sure that they are here for the children and not just for political aspirations and to use it as a stepping stone. I have been here for three years and I want to continue working for the City of Paterson, so I just want to encourage everyone to come out and vote on April 27th. It‟s for our children and it should be for them only. Thank you. Comm. Mendez: First of all, I would like to take a moment to congratulate the athletic teams of the students from Eastside High School and Kennedy. There‟s no doubt it tells us that we have to continue investing time and money in the athletic division here in Paterson. We need to support our youth with facilities. We had a long conversation back in the day in the facilities committee and I have that in my mind. We have to do what we have to do to make sure that we have a new facility in the district for our youth. I would like to take a moment also to congratulate our Irene Sterling and the Paterson Education Fund for the past event that they had at PCCC. Thank you for having me as one of the parents. It was a great event that Saturday and we had a great discussion about community schools and other discussions. It was a pleasure to be there. Also, to Kenneth Simmons, I thank you for having me at your event and being part of the staff, along with T.J. Best. We had a great time with all our youth. It definitely was a great time. I congratulate you for that great event. Also, like Comm. Guzman said, April 27th we have elections next Wednesday. We have to make sure that the community supports this election. It‟s extremely important. This Board is moving forward. There are a lot of changes in the City of Paterson and changes that we can see. We have to make sure that we continue with those changes, so please support the Board of Education election. Also, to the parents from School 21 who came over here to represent their children, I‟m very happy and I would like to thank all the parents for being here. The last speaker made a comment and it was that sometimes parents want to be more involved, but they feel intimidated because of the staff because they don‟t feel welcome in that building. If that happens to one of the parents in the district that microphone is open in the meeting for them to come over here and express their concerns. We‟re not going anywhere without the parents. We need parents involved in our children‟s education in order to move this agenda forward. Once again, thank you for being here. Also, I would like to thank Councilman Sayegh. He came over here to support my resolution – the uniform dress code policy. This resolution is going to go back to the policy committee, but I would like to thank all my colleagues for supporting me with this resolution. We will bring it back at the next Board meeting to vote on it. Comm. T.J. Best, it‟s been a pleasure working with you here on the Board. You‟ve

Page 29: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 29 04/20/11

been a great colleague. Keep going and keep working hard. I know you‟re going to do well. You know you have my support. Thank you. Comm. Best: Thank you, Comm. Mendez, and I‟m sure even though it probably won‟t happen under my term that one day we will have every single student in the City of Paterson wearing uniforms to make you proud. Hopefully they won‟t work out too much like you and bust out of the uniforms when they put them on. Comm. Kerr: I would like to start out by congratulating the students from Eastside and Kennedy High Schools, the student athletes, who performed admirably in this year‟s basketball championship. It goes to say that whatever our kids want to do, they have the potential to do it. We just have to give them the necessary support that they need and the type of leadership that they need. They are able to accomplish just about anything. I also, Mr. President, would like to thank the parents that came in this evening and registered their concerns about the teacher from School 21. But let me just remind everyone that the teacher in question did not directly speak to that child and there is something in the district that is called tenure. You cannot just dismiss a teacher because he or she decides to make a statement. So there is a process and we must be prepared to let the process take its course and wherever it leads us then that‟s where we‟ll be. But we just can‟t decide that we‟re going to terminate a teacher because of something like this. I just want to say concerning Dr. Evans that over the past two years you have been a worthy Superintendent. You have led this district and you have led it well. Although there are times when I, as an individual Board member, might not be in sync with everything that you do, as a person I respect you. I respect you for the position that you take regardless of the voices of many of us. You stand firm and you have led us through some rough times in this district. I was very happy to be a part of this resolution asking the state to renew your contract for another three years. Mr. President, I just want to commend my fellow Commissioner, Comm. Simmons, on this fantastic Boys Leadership Summit that he put on. It was extremely nicely done and I was impressed very much about what was done. I just hope that we can continue. If you have pledged that there will be a Girls Leadership Summit, I truly am looking forward to it and I know that it will be just as great. So if you want to know anything about it you have to read it in this month‟s newsletter. There is a little thing in there about the summit so everybody will get an opportunity to read it. Mr. President, concerning a matter that we need to pay attention to, we know that finances are difficult all over this country. Everybody is complaining, but I was reading something here from a news report from the NAACP. I just want to read it into the record here because many things are happening and we are not really, I believe, assimilating the information. Therefore, a lot of things are passing us by. So I just want to read this. “America spends more money incarcerating its citizens than educating them. The NAACP‟s news report Misplaced Priorities shows how much money states spend on their criminal justice system compared to their education system and what that means for our communities. The results are astounding. Over the past 20 years, for example, state spending on prisons grew at six times the rate of spending on higher education. Our country is home to just 5% of the world‟s population, but we make up a staggering 25% of the world‟s prisoners.” Now, that‟s something that really slapped me in my face. We can‟t find money to provide arts and music in our schools, but we can find money by the drop of a hat to build a prison to send our kids. That is a serious thing and we as ordinary citizens, these are the things that we must point out to our Governors and to our elected officials that we need to spend that money at the front end developing our kids and making them the true citizens that we know they can be as opposed to sending them to prison. Second to last, Mr. President, I think you are very generous this evening because it‟s your last day here. After today we don‟t want to see you inside here. The ribbon cutting at the School of Culinary Arts and Tourism, we were there

Page 30: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 30 04/20/11

today and it was a very nice occasion. I must congratulate all those who were part of putting this together. We now just need to match up whatever we saw today with some positive test scores. If we can balance out that with test scores, then we can say, “Dr. Evans, you are god‟s gift to us.” But until that we still have a little question in the back of our minds about it. Mr. President, I have said this many times and I‟m going to say it tonight again. I enjoyed your tenure here and working with you. You have been a model and one of the things that really make me feel proud is that you are a product of our school system. If T.J. Best who grew up Rosa Parks and 12th Avenue, the rough part of town, went through all of that and became the President of this Board and you have led us in such a way that you have, then I believe any child in Paterson. You have alluded to the fact that you had mentors. It tells me that we can pull our children from where they are to a place of honor in this system, but we just have to commit ourselves. Just like Dr. Fulmore did and others that you have mentioned did to you, if we can just do that to our kids then I believe we will have an outstanding city and outstanding state and it will spill over into many parts of our country. Lastly, regarding the School Board election, School Board election is not the election that generates a lot of heat in the minds of a lot of our people. Yet, to me the School Board election is one of the most important elections that we have because when you go out and you register to vote for somebody to represent your kid, you‟re saying I am interested in the future. When you don‟t do that, you are saying in effect that you are not interested in the future. So I would like to encourage all our parents in Paterson, all our stakeholders in Paterson, that on the 27th of this money I would like to see everybody who does have a vote to go out and vote. Now, we want to send a message to the Commissioner of Education that we‟re active here in Paterson concerning our school system. We need the votes and we are asking everybody to go out and vote on that day. I think we have some wonderful Commissioners here on the Board. I came on this Board and I saw Comm. Hodges and I‟ll tell you what. I have never asked him to do something that he does not do. We can talk, but he‟s going to do whatever he‟s supposed to do and that is the quality of a good Board member. Not only talk it up, but back that thing up with action. I want to thank you, Dr. Hodges, for your wonderful work on this Board. I trust that as we go forward you will be here to continue serving our kids here in Paterson. Thank you, Mr. President. Comm. Best: Thank you, Comm. Kerr. The generational divide is even more apparent right now. I‟m glad to know that Dr. Hodges backs that thing up. Comm. Kerr: Come on. Does somebody need some diapers here? Comm. Best: I just want to say thank you, Dr. Hodges, for backing that thing up. Comm. Irving: I, too, just want to congratulate first actually Ms. Eileen Shafer for her leadership and vision and supervision for what is happening at the Eastside High School three-schools-in-a-school model. Ms. Shafer, over the last year I probably have been your harshest critic with regard to the structure of the school, the management, and most importantly the outcomes for our kids. I think that the completion of the kitchen, albeit just one component, is a step in the right direction. I do believe the next step for us is to begin working on certification programs so that when kids leave the School of Culinary Arts they have a certification that they can take and work in a restaurant or take to a culinary school and already have courses. Or the kids in technology can take a certificate and be able to use that to be someone who can repair or build computers, etc. But kudos to you! The second thing I do want to do is just encourage folks to come out and vote on April 27th. My colleagues have said it all. Most folks know where I stand. There‟s no reason for me to belabor this point. Just come out and vote because it‟s important and it‟s for our kids. If you don‟t, it‟s sad. We

Page 31: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 31 04/20/11

need you to vote. We need you to support our children, to support this Board, and to support the Superintendent. The School Board election is the most important election. Our budget is bigger than the city‟s and we need big support from our community. With that said, I want to take my last two minutes to talk about my best friend, my buddy, my brother, Comm. T.J. Best. T.J. and I met, and some folks actually know this, when we were about 14 or 15 years old. We were both members of the NAACP Youth Council. It seems to me that each time that he and I find ourselves in leadership he starts out as a President, and I say starts out as a President. T.J. was the President of the NAACP Youth Council and was doing a mediocre job at that. Then I came along and once I came along we really started to make some traction on the Political Action Committee for the NAACP Youth Council. It was during that time as our two egos waged war against each other that as young men we had a fine appreciation and love for our city and for our community. Having grown up in the same ward, literally about six blocks away from each other, he and I had a passion that went beyond just NAACP, but really transcended our wants and needs and expectation to make Paterson better. When we would walk around after school we would leave through Masonic Temple and walk home and we weren‟t happy with what we saw. We were not happy to see the garbage on the streets, people who were homeless, individuals who didn‟t have jobs, and as kids we made a pledge to come back and to help change the city. Then we went to college and in college we both were able to do our thing. T.J. came back to Paterson and when he talked about his moral obligation he lived up to it. After working down in Washington, D.C. he did a thing. Once he got on the Board it was probably well into a year and a half of his second term that he called me up and reminded me of my moral obligation. I subsequently moved back to the city and I can tell you that I would not be on this Board and I would not be doing the work I‟m doing in our community if it was not for T.J. Best. This man is probably one of the smartest, dedicated, committed people that I‟ve ever met in my life. He means what he says. He does what needs to be done. Most importantly, he loves Paterson. He loves representing Paterson. He is Paterson through and through. Man, I tell you all the time that I am going to miss you incredibly on this Board, not just because of the value you bring to it, but because I truly enjoy working with you. This last year has probably been one of the best experiences of my adult life, not because I‟m just an elected official, but because I get to share it with you. I will miss you. I assume that somewhere along the way you and I will somehow cross paths maybe in some other arena, but for now I am happy to continue to serve on this Board with the individuals who happen to be here. While you move to other areas or elevations with regard to public service, you will be free to hold this city and our community in your hands, as you move forward. Thank you. Comm. Best: Thank you, Comm. Irving, and I didn‟t cry. I came real close. Comm. Irving: I was working on it. Comm. Best: I know you were trying to get me to do it. Thank you. Now that we‟ve had every Board member comment, I‟d like to move into the agenda. Comm. Hodges: You‟re so young. After 11 months you‟d think you‟d probably get this thing worked out. Actually, I‟m not going to have many comments during the rest of the meeting, so I‟m going to say a few things tonight. First, let me congratulate the students who were recognized this evening. I have always maintained that we don‟t ask enough of our children. We don‟t expect them to be what they are fully capable of being and I think tonight shows that our children aren‟t dysfunctional. Our children aren‟t criminals or future criminals. Our children have the potential to be the best at whatever they want to be, if they‟re given the guidance, the system and the adult help to get there. What has been lacking in their lives is all of the above, in too many of their lives. Kudos to

Page 32: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 32 04/20/11

them in their endeavors and we are all very, very proud of them. I‟m going to touch very briefly on the School Board elections. Yes, I‟m a candidate – 2A on your ballot. I‟ve been on the Board for 9 years and would like to extend it. I don‟t know why, but I would like to come back and finish the task. But there are other important issues to discuss. I did not get to attend the ribbon cutting today because actually I got up this morning and went to the Supreme Court to hear the oral arguments. I must say that it was extremely entertaining to witness the state try to defend budget cuts in not just the Abbott districts but across the board for students who are significantly economically challenged, disadvantaged students throughout the state. At the same time, and this was asked of a judge, the state‟s position was the reason we can‟t fund the formula is because we‟re in a financial crisis. A judge pointed out to him that he discontinued one of his funding streams, meaning the millionaire‟s tax, and now you‟re pleading poverty. One of the questions that he asked, which was really telling, was, “Do you mean to say that if a person who is accused of a crime and who is allowed the right to have counsel, even if they can‟t afford it, and because of your funding you can‟t afford that counsel, do you mean to suggest that that person could be denied counsel?” The state‟s lawyer in essence said no he couldn‟t say that. But they‟re going to argue that our children who aren‟t accused of any crime can be denied funding. People might not have focused on that, but that was extremely telling. They are willing to give the funding to an accused criminal, but deny it to disadvantaged children in the state. That was shocking. That was his defense, along with the fact that they had made a good faith effort. The testimony was remarkable. The questioning of the judges, of the state, and even of David Sciarra, the lawyer from Education Law Center who brought the claim, was extraordinary. I imagine that there are some feeds online and I suggest that you take the time to review it because what the state is saying about how they value our children, not directly but implicitly, is quite profound and insulting and sad. I know people are concerned about some remarks of a teacher in this district, but what the state has actually done in regards to the education of our children I think is substantially worse. Dr. Evans, I told you at your very first meeting that I don‟t support people, I support the positive efforts of individuals when those efforts accrue to the benefit of children. My vote tonight reflects my impressions that your efforts have accrued to the benefit of children. I sincerely hope that the state at long last listens to the people who are being directly affected by their decisions. This Board made a thoughtful decision and I hope that their decision is respected. Dr. Bristow, who had some very nice remarks for me, I actually want to thank him because he did invite me to come down to watch him receive his honor that was richly and justly deserved. But as I was sitting there I spoke with one of the trainers of the National Board Teacher Certification process and realized that we can have a program like that in Paterson, a training site in Paterson, and that was because of Dr. Bristow. I immediately ran up to the Commissioner of Education and started pestering and insisted that we bring and establish one of those sites here in Paterson. That is how it started. It started with Dr. Bristow. We now have I think five more teachers coming on board. We didn‟t have any before and we now have five additional teachers and there were several others who went through the process that are somewhere along that process. We will be well on our way to having one of the largest cohorts or one of the most significant cohorts of National Board Certified Teachers in the State of New Jersey very shortly. I want to thank Dr. Bristow because that idea started with him. To the parents, and I‟m sorry they left, certainly we can‟t talk about this kind of issue regarding what happened at School 21. But there have been teachers throughout the country that have said some untoward things about their students. There was one teacher in Chicago recently that was reported to have had some disparaging words about a student that was placed on a social network. I want to say to those parents who may be justifiably angry to channel that anger into a positive activity because that‟s just one individual. I encourage you, particularly the parents at School 21, when you march into that school in righteous indignation to march to the

Page 33: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 33 04/20/11

principal‟s office and ask to see a copy of the school report card. Peruse that and then you might find something that you might really want to be angry about. You might want to spend a little bit of time figuring out how the impact of that school report card is going to weigh on your children‟s future educational endeavors. Take that anger and ask the questions not what this one teacher is going to do or what will be done to this one teacher, but what about that entire school? How are they going to ensure that they provide for your child, given these report card results, the best possible education going forward? Channel your anger there. Push that envelope. Make sure that no one will ever think to raise those similar issues about any group of children in any school in Paterson again. That‟s not just by yelling and screaming about this one event. It‟s by transforming your understanding of education and its impact on your children, and most importantly your children‟s understanding of education and its impact on their particular lives. Lastly, Mr. Best, it has been a very interesting three years. I have watched you mature into whatever it is that you are now. Comm. Best: That‟s a compliment. Comm. Hodges: Of sorts. I wish you the very best. I think that you will find there are many, many challenges that await you in the coming days and if you succeed then Paterson will succeed because its students will have that role model, that symbol of what‟s possible. 12th Avenue, Rosa Parks Boulevard will understand that it‟s well within their reach and that is so terribly precious an understanding and it escapes so many of our students. So I salute you. I‟m not going to go all crazy, as some people apparently have, over you, but I do think that yours is a valuable story and one that really needs to be shared. Your success is extremely important to us all. Best of luck in future endeavors. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Comm. Best: Thank you, Dr. Hodges. Before we get into the official general business of the meeting, I did want to inform the community that it is with deep regret and sorrow that our Director of Joint Recreational Services and Councilman-At-Large Mr. Benji Wimberly‟s mother passed away. I wanted to let everyone know she lived a very wonderful life and Mr. Wimberly is now at home tending to his family and making arrangements for the wake and funeral. For those of you who are interested, the wake is on Friday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at St. Luke‟s Baptist Church on Carroll Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard. The funeral will be Saturday at 9:00 a.m. So I just wanted to let Councilman Wimberly know that our prayers and thoughts are definitely with him and his entire family in this time of need. GENERAL BUSINESS Items Requiring a Vote PRESENTATION OF MINUTES Comm. Best presented the minutes of the February 24, 2011 Special Meeting, the February 24, 2011 Executive Session, the March 2, 2011 Workshop Meeting, the March 16, 2011 Regular Meeting, the March 16, 2011 Regular-Transcript Meeting, the March 31, 2011 Executive Session-1, the March 31, 2011 Executive Session-2, and the April 6, 2011 Executive Session, and asked if there were any questions or comments on the minutes.

Page 34: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 34 04/20/11

Comm. Best: These clocks have been lying to me this whole time. I thought it was 9:15. I didn‟t realize it was 10:15 and we do have an executive session afterwards. I just want to put that out there. CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE Comm. Best: The curriculum committee met on Monday, April 18th. Board members present were Dr. Hodges, Comm. Kerr, and I chaired that meeting.

It was moved by Comm. Irving, seconded by Comm. Guzman that Resolution Nos. A-1 through A-24 be adopted. Comm. Hodges: Just a brief discussion, Mr. President. One of our concerns regarding A-3 was the… Comm. Best: Lack of rigor. Comm. Hodges: The rigor of that curriculum I guess is the best way. I‟m glad to see that the administration is reviewing that. That was the primary focus of our discussions that evening as we are insisting that when they present a curriculum of that type that it have the appropriate rigor for our children. I guess it‟s becoming clearer to the staff that we‟re not going to be appreciative of anything that falls short of that mark. I thank the Superintendent for that recognition. Comm. Kerr: Mr. Chair, on A-6, I notice here on this action item that we are just extending the contract for two additional months. My question is to the chair. Is there any support document? We just get a one leaf document here and we are rolling it over for two months. What after two months? Are we considering extending it beyond two months? Will we be putting out an RFP or RFQ or whatever it might be after two months? Dr. Evans: If that‟s speech/language I‟m going to ask Susana Peron. Is that the one for speech/language? I‟m going to ask her to come and address that. Ms. Susana Peron: Could you repeat the question? Comm. Kerr: I notice that you‟re asking for an extension for two months. Now, it means that at the end of two months if we vote yes to extend it…(end of tape) (Beginning of new tape)…it will be placed back before us to be renewed. Ms. Peron: Not necessarily.

Page 52: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 52 04/20/11

Comm. Kerr: So, what would be next then? Ms. Peron: The reason we are extending it to August is because we haven‟t nearly finished the compensatory services for our preschoolers and our related services for speech. So because the contract was for $340,000, if we extend those services through the summer months we have the option of affording related services to children while they attend extended school year programs. We also have developed a compensatory program for students during the summertime. So this just provides us with more time for that same agency to finish because the contract would have ended June 30th. Comm. Kerr: Yes, okay. The question is this. We are extending it for two months but if we did not extend it for two months it means that the contract would have expired two months earlier. Ms. Peron: Yes, sir. Comm. Kerr: Okay, fine. Is there any support document? I guess we have to extend it, but are we considering extending this contract after the additional two months? Ms. Peron: No. I think that if we extend it for the two months we will exhaust the $340,000 because of the extensive services that are being delivered to all of the preschool children and the children at School 2. Comm. Kerr: What quality service are they providing? Was the service up to par or subpar? What type of service did we get? Ms. Peron: So far, Comm. Kerr, for what we have seen the supervisors of Early Childhood along with the district special education services have gone out to meet and see what the speech therapists are delivering and we are pleased with what we see. They are very responsive. If we have an issue they meet with us at the district level and we are constantly in communication with them about the services that they are providing. Up to now I am pleased with their service. Comm. Kerr: So at the end of this rollover or extension, will we have need for the service? Ms. Peron: Yes, we will. Comm. Kerr: So what are we going to do after the two months? Ms. Peron: After the two months we have to go back to the contract bidding. We have to develop an RFP and go through the process. Comm. Kerr: Okay. So there will be an RFP. That‟s where I was trying to get at. Thank you. Dr. Evans: If I may add to Ms. Peron‟s comment, and she‟s absolutely correct, remember part of the challenge here is sufficient staffing to meet the speech/language needs and we have staffed up in many cases, but not enough to offset the need for compensatory services. Part of the assessment in determining whether or not we would rebid and continue to provide those services is going to be the extent to which we‟ve continued to staff to have sufficient folk on staff because this is a need. The need for speech/language services isn‟t going away. So if we have staffed up to the point that

Page 53: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 53 04/20/11

we determine particularly after compensatory education has been provided through the period that‟s designated here we may not need to rebid. But that‟s a determination we‟ll need to make as we move forward, as Ms. Peron and her staff continue to monitor both the need and the services that are being delivered. Comm. Taylor: I have a question through the chair to Dr. Evans. I hear you say monitoring. We‟ve had problems with our programs in the summertime attendance. Now, how are we going to encourage or recruit and make sure the parents get them there or have them there during the summer? I know this is preschool and the parents are working and they usually bring them, but there is a whole group of people who go out two or three weeks and they don‟t let the children come when they‟re on vacation or when they‟re leaving to go to another country. So the children are not there. So the use of the funds you still will have some left. So how are we really trying to let people know that we didn‟t have some of the services at the beginning of the year and now we‟d like to finish it up? We have extended this program because they came to us and asked for it, for the speech therapy, the physical therapy and some other therapy. They were asking for it because we didn‟t have it at the beginning of the year. So now we‟re trying to finish it up and make sure they get the full service. So how are we encouraging them to do this? Dr. Evans: I‟ll begin the answer and then I‟m going to defer to Ms. Peron. In getting to where we are, Ms Peron and her staff meticulously reviewed students‟ needs as reflected on the IEP, met with each one of the parents, and went through those needs. They assessed or determined the extent to which compensatory education was needed, but then worked with the parents in determining the timeline and the circumstance under which they would make it up, which implies some commitment on behalf of the parents. Now, I‟m going to stop there and ask her to take it forward. Ms. Peron: That‟s correct, Dr. Evans. We are also meeting with all of the parents currently because we have offered through the agency. We have sat with the agency and said to them that delivering services during the school day is not going to be enough. So we have worked out a schedule with them for after school from 3:30 to 5:00. We also have services being provided on Saturdays and Sundays. We‟re providing transportation if the parents need it, and we are also developing three different extended school year summer programs for the children. So if they can‟t attend from the beginning of July to the beginning of August, we have scattered the programs for different weeks going into August so that they have a choice. We‟re trying to be creative and trying to come up with as many options for parents to take advantage of the services. Dr. Evans: The bottom line is unique scheduling was accomplished to try to reduce the likelihood that the problem that you‟re communicating would exist. Now, I know in some cases it still might happen, but in working with the parents and agreeing on a schedule that they buy into then I think we reduce the likelihood that they‟re not going to show or there will be extended periods of absences for youngsters that we didn‟t anticipate. Comm. Taylor: I wish that we had better articulation between the Superintendent and this department than we did last year so that it doesn‟t happen again. The parents were very upset because that went into October and November that they did not have services. So they‟re going to classes you‟re saying now during this part of the year? Ms. Peron: Yes. Comm. Taylor: And then they go on Saturday?

Page 54: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 54 04/20/11

Ms. Peron: If the parents sign for it they can opt for Saturdays and Sundays, and they can opt for after school. Comm. Taylor: So that‟s taking up some of the funds? Ms. Peron: Yes. Comm. Taylor: As well as transportation? Ms. Peron: That‟s correct. Comm. Taylor: There were times when we had to turn money back and because we‟re in such need we can‟t turn any money back. I just can‟t see that happening here. Ms. Peron: Commissioner, that‟s the reason why we wanted to extend it. If the contract would end June 30th we would lose the funds. So if we extend it we can take advantage of having that money. Comm. Taylor: Yes, I understand it. Thank you very much. Comm. Kerr: I have a question on A-11. Mr. President, I need to know what type of professional services these providers will be providing for the district. Dr. Evans: I‟m looking for Annalesa Barker or perhaps Mr. McCollum may be able to respond. Comm. Taylor: What‟s your question again, Mr. Kerr? Dr. Evans: It‟s A-11 regarding Catapult. Comm. Kerr: I need to know what type of professional services these providers will be providing the district. I have some follow up questions. Mr. Andre McCollum: Good evening Commissioners, Superintendent and Cabinet. Regarding A-11, the professional development services I believe are regarding teaching staff members in the context of the school, in other words along the lines of best practices. However, I cannot go into a lot of detail at this point so we will be interested in getting back to you as soon as possible with appropriate responses to your concern regarding A-11. Comm. Taylor: For a million dollars? Comm. Kerr: The next question is, you have a list of service providers here. I need to know if any of these providers have provided services to our district before. If the answer is yes, I need to know why we can‟t get some support documentation on those service providers to help us make a decision whether or not we believe it‟s okay to sign off on any one of these providers. We don‟t know because there‟s no assessment done of the work, but they keep popping up, popping up and popping up. We don‟t know. If any of these service providers have worked in our district before, there has to be some record of their service. So we need to get some support documentation. We can‟t just get one page of this thing. It doesn‟t help us. Mr. McCollum: Understood.

Page 55: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 55 04/20/11

Comm. Kerr: We have to help each other here. That will be forthcoming? Mr. McCollum: I believe there has been some history with Catapult Learning. However, we will get back to you as far as the other vendors are concerned. Comm. Kerr: So I want you to know I can‟t support this because I don‟t believe it‟s good governance and I believe it would be an abdication of my responsibility as a Commissioner to vote on some of these things that frankly I have no idea what I‟m voting on. So I can‟t support that. Thank you, Mr. McCollum. Mr. McCollum: Understood. Comm. Kerr: I‟m going to leave it there. I don‟t want my fellow Commissioner here to start sleeping on me. Comm. Irving: If you keep going I might. Comm. Mendez: Just to piggyback on Comm. Kerr‟s comment based on A-11 and also A-23, I‟m in favor of professional development. I know we have to invest money on that area. But I also believe that every year we invest a big amount of money on professional development and I truly think that we have to find a way to connect the experience that the staff has with all the training with the academic achievement that we have. That‟s something that I believe we‟re going to have to sit down and put a plan together to see if we‟re investing the money the right way by approving all this professional development. At the end it‟s not going to be reflecting on the test scores in the district. I truly believe we have to sit down and have a plan and put something together for that. Also, we definitely need more information about A-11. We‟re talking about $1 million and it‟s a lot of money. We need more information. Thank you. Mr. McCollum: That makes sense. The reason we do the RFQs is to ascertain the background and experience from the potential vendors to ensure that they have experience and facilitated success in other venues. So once we ascertain that and we confer with them and we vent and go through their paperwork, then we sit down as a cadre and look into the best vendor that fits our needs in this particular district. Of course, we have to keep up with best practices and trends throughout the state and nationally. So we want to keep up as much as possible. Yes, we take advantage of the experience that is available in the context of our professionals here in Paterson. However, sometimes that pool is too shallow and so we have to venture out and bring others in to take it to the next level. Comm. Taylor: I‟m looking at our resolution and it appears that these companies are going to maximize potential to provide onsite professional development services district-wide. It seems like these companies are going to do the development. Mr. McCollum: Absolutely. Comm. Taylor: So we‟re going to pay them to do it when they are coming in to us? I don‟t understand that. Mr. McCollum: I want to make sure I understand what you‟re saying. It‟s saying that they‟re coming to us to provide a service onsite at the different facilities and schools.

Page 56: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 56 04/20/11

Comm. Taylor: Right. We‟re already paying them to be a part of our program and now we have to pay them for professional development. I don‟t understand that. I really don‟t. Dr. Evans: If I may, Mr. President, as I read the agenda item A-11, I have to admit for me there are more questions than answers. But there is a fundamental question here. The district does have a professional development plan that you approved. Comm. Taylor: Right. Dr. Evans: And a legitimate question that actually I need answers to is, “Is this consistent with that plan and are these companies implicated in that plan?” I don‟t see a reference here that it was cross-referenced or that it is consistent. That‟s one of the things that we need to find out. A question I‟d like to ask Mr. McCollum is whether or not this is time-sensitive because I‟d like to answer those questions myself before we ask you again to approve, unless there‟s a major time issue here in terms of the delivery of professional development that these people may be connected with. Mr. McCollum: Of course, the expectation is that we would allot time so that it goes through the vetting of the Cabinet as well as the Board. So we certainly can get back to respond to any questions and concerns regarding your concerns tonight. Dr. Evans: Then I‟d like to withdraw this one until we can get you some answers and me some answers. Comm. Best: Do we have to take a motion? There‟s already one on the floor. Ms. Cheryl Williams: Are you going to pull it? Comm. Best: We can just pull it? We have a motion on the floor. Comm. Rodriguez: Or we can vote it down and then he would reintroduce it rather than mixing it up. Comm. Best: Are you okay with that since we already have a motion on the floor? Dr. Evans: Sure. On roll call all members voted as follows: Comm. Guzman: Yes to all, no to A-11. Comm. Hodges: No. Comm. Irving: Yes to all, no to A-11. Comm. Kerr: Yes to all, except A-11 and A-12. Comm. Mendez: Yes to all, except A-11. Comm. Rodriguez: Yes to all, except A-11 and I abstain from A-8. Comm. Simmons: Yes to all, except A-11.

Page 57: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 57 04/20/11

Comm. Taylor: All except A-11. Comm. Best: Yes to all, no to A-11. The motion carried, with the exception of A-11 which did not carry. LEGAL COMMITTEE Comm. Irving: The legal committee met on April 4th. Members present were Comm. Rodriguez via phone conference, Comm. Mendez, Comm. Taylor and myself. Staff present was Sid Sayovitz and John DeMarco. We discussed the status of leases. We got an update on legal cases. Then we also discussed the item up for approval tonight. Comm. Irving reported that the Legal Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution No. B-1:

Resolution No. B-1

Department of Early Childhood-Stipulation Agreement

WHEREAS, the Petitioner North Jersey Community Coordinated Child Care Agency, Inc. d/b/a Michael‟s Energy Factory and d/b/a Barney‟s Educational Center filed a complaint with the Office of Administrative Law against Paterson Public Schools as it related to the District‟s recoupment of preschool funds for fiscal years 2003-2004, 2004-2005, 2005-2006, and 2006-2007; and WHEREAS, in order to settle and resolve the above matters without the expense, loss of time, disruption of activities, costs, and uncertainties of litigation, the Parties agree to settle with each other all claims asserted within the Stipulation of Settlement; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Paterson Board of Education approves the Stipulation of Settlement. It was moved by Comm. Rodriguez, seconded by Comm. Guzman that Resolution No. B-1 be adopted. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative, except Comm. Hodges who abstained. The motion carried. FISCAL COMMITTEE Comm. Kerr: The fiscal committee met on Thursday, April 24th at the Board of Education offices at 90 Delaware Avenue. Members present were Comm. Mendez and myself. Members absent were Comm. Taylor and Comm. Guzman. Staff present was Mr. David Rinderknecht, Interim Business Administrator; Ms. Susana Peron, Director of Early Childhood Education; Toni Scholing, Fiscal Monitor; Corrradina Fronte, Data Specialist; and Nick Flattery, Business Analyst. The purpose of our meeting last Thursday was to continue our program of meeting with the department heads as a committee to discuss their structure on fiscal operation. Director Susana Peron gave the committee an overview of the Department of Early Childhood Education. She itemized for us the service providers and their responsibilities and how those responsibilities are tied to the Department of Early Childhood Education expectations. She said there is a change in the focus of the department from being a mere babysitting exercise to one of real educational experience for our children. Areas of operation discussed included budget development, budget transfers, and administrative support for the centers. From what was presented by the Early Childhood Department, the

Page 58: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 58 04/20/11

support they provide to the centers in our judgment is rather extensive. The services range from budget preparation to writing corrective action plans for audit findings. Because the centers are moving away from their earlier orientation of daycare setting to one where they are required to provide instruction, the Department of Early Childhood is also forced to provide curriculum development support and oversight in order to ensure that instructional staff meets the established criteria set by the state. Meeting those obligations mean a heavier workload for our existing staff who have acquitted themselves admirably. I just want to take time out to personally congratulate Ms. Peron on the wonderful work that they are doing in that department. I was very impressed and Comm. Mendez was also impressed concerning the work. Our meeting ended at about 9:30. Comm. Kerr reported that the Fiscal Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution Nos.

Hodges: Very briefly, Dr. Evans, I continue to be distressed that we‟re not using the banks to the best of our ability. I strongly implore you to convene a committee to look at where our money is being placed, what banks our money is being placed in, consolidate those banks, wrestle from them an agreement to assist us with curriculum in finance from K-12, request of them bank accounts for all of our students, training for our students in finance, scholarships, internships, shadowing opportunities, and summer jobs. I think we can do that. I think we need to leverage all of our dollars, including our

Page 97: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 97 04/20/11

activity money. Leverage what the district has into one big overarching program. It‟s a little late, but we can still be one of the leaders in financial literacy. By the way, don‟t forget to include a curriculum on stocks, securities, insurance, and so forth. Put it in a big package, pitch it to them, and I‟m sure we can get some takers to get this program moving and make the best use of the dollars we have here. This is in reference to C-3. I urge you to do that. Dr. Evans: Okay. Comm. Mendez: I would like to take a moment to congratulate Susana Peron for that great presentation and great job. I congratulate you and your staff. Keep going with the great job. I was very impressed and I know you guys are working hard to change the mindset that we in the district have so we don‟t have more daycare, but we have pre-k to 12. So you guys are doing an outstanding job. Thank you. Comm. Taylor: I concur with that, but I also think the community should work more closely with them and encourage the children to participate in the programs that they have. It‟s pre-k to 3rd grade that we‟re really having a heavy concentration in. I do believe you‟re doing an excellent job and I know your dedication and I know your professionalism. Thank you. Comm. Rodriguez: I second that. Comm. Mendez: I was so excited with Comm. Taylor‟s comment. I believe that we should have that discussion as a Board and the whole Board should receive that presentation. I believe we should put all the ideas together on the table. There are a lot of things to talk about and I would love to see the staff again with the whole Board talking about the plan that you have. Thank you. Comm. Kerr: I have a few questions I would like to ask. On C-14, this is a problem that I have, Dr. Evans. We are in the fiscal part of our meeting and if you really need to ask something that pertains to the monetary piece of this there is nobody here to answer because the fiscal people are not here. I spoke about it in the last meeting and it still hasn‟t gotten through. Dr. Evans: I just noticed that. There‟s no one here. Comm. Kerr: I don‟t know. I have some more questions here, but I‟m not going to waste my time with it right now because I know I will not be getting anywhere with it. But I can tell you I have questions on C-32 to C-40 and it has to do with the transportation and whether or not it was tendered, etc. But I won‟t bother about that. On C-24, we are approving an award for contract of uniform for $150,000. Is there a policy that we buy uniform in this district? Comm. Taylor: It‟s what we agreed to in the contract. Dr. Evans: It‟s in the union contracts. Actually, the other items you mentioned we probably can answer those as well. But the union contracts specify if we are to cover the cost of uniforms. In that particular case, yes it does. You had questions about? Comm. Kerr: The transportation. Dr. Evans: Special transportation?

Page 98: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 98 04/20/11

Comm. Kerr: Yes, from C-32 to C-40. Dr. Evans: There were a number of students with special needs who were awarded out of district placements. Rather, a significant number have been made recently and obviously when we do that transportation is provided. I thought I saw Pat DiGiaimo back there a moment ago, but I don‟t see her now. Those originated from her office and that‟s a result of obviously an IEP process and special education process that requires that we find an appropriate placement. But once we do that then transportation is awarded and there have been a number of those recently. Comm. Taylor: Through the chair I‟d just like to ask Dr. Evans. I know that they come through special education. Is this a new contract? Dr. Evans: That‟s correct. It‟s only for the balance of this year. Comm. Taylor: In our paperwork for each one of these resolutions, because I didn‟t bring it with me, I remember I had some notes. Do you know where the children are going to? I see the bus companies. I don‟t see very much money involved here for each one, except a couple of them. Other than that they are nearby. Dr. Evans: Yes, they are. Again, they‟re for the balance of this year, which affects the amount as well. Comm. Taylor: I see the Evergreen Program and some others. Dr. Evans: But there is an individual contract for each child. Comm. Taylor: There are more children on the van than one, I know. So it‟s comparable. These are not long distance rides. Dr. Evans: In most cases, they are not. That‟s correct. Comm. Hodges: Very quickly, I just wanted to mention that at the Supreme Court hearing the state was complaining about how districts spent their money and part of their argument was that some of the money was spent inappropriately. You mentioned the uniforms to staff. They raised the issue of world languages, strangely enough, and athletics. I‟m just wondering what would happen if… Yes, they did. They raised it, not me. They said it‟s not tested, but the counterargument was that it‟s still part of the core curriculum content standards, even though it‟s not tested. That‟s what the state was doing. But I would be concerned if we were to end up paying for uniforms either for the staff or the students what kind of arguments they would be making about that since they raised those issues before the Supreme Court. I just wanted to put that out there. Comm. Kerr: Dr. Evans, I don‟t need an answer right now, but stuff like C-28 I just need to know how these contracts were awarded. On C-26, was there a bidding process or is it a rollover? What are we doing there? Dr. Evans: Yes, sir. We‟ll get those for you. You did raise with me the issue of having representation here and we‟re continuing to work on that. We‟ll have it addressed. Comm. Kerr: Thank you very much. On roll call all members voted as follows:

Page 99: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 99 04/20/11

Comm. Guzman: Yes. Comm. Hodges: No. Comm. Irving: Yes. Comm. Kerr: Yes. Comm. Mendez: No on C-14, yes on the rest. Comm. Rodriguez: Yes. Comm. Simmons: Yes. Comm. Taylor: All except C-14. Comm. Best: Yes. The motion carried. FACILITIES COMMITTEE Comm. Hodges: We have had to forego our facilities meeting for this month. In lieu of that the Superintendent of Schools, the head of his facilities unit and myself journeyed down to Trenton to meet with Mr. Larkins of the Schools Development Authority, to discuss a number of things, particularly our priorities, the timeline that the SDA anticipated in terms of the building of Hazel/Marshall School, and moving forward with School 3. We also talked about other possibilities, such as Paterson Catholic, mixed use opportunities for other facilities in the district, and we were trying to really tie them down to a timetable. We were uniquely unsuccessful in doing that. They did not give us a timeline. They pretty much said that Hazel/Marshall wouldn‟t start before next year, and School 3 as well. They‟re looking into the design of the building. They‟re trying to have a standardization process throughout the state in terms of models for these new buildings. More concerning, they are putting together a working group to discuss how the process is going to take place. So you now have to go to this working group, which consists of the SDA members and the State Department of Education and the district. Every single school district has to form a working group that has a project someplace. They all have to form these working groups with this very limited staff that they have at the SDA and the State Department of Education. Consequently, there‟s a long time delay in when you can meet, how often you can meet, and probably what will ever get done. I will say he was very concerned about our frustration level, he took note of that on several occasions, and supported us in our ideas, but not with anything tangible. So we were left basically with an understanding that we now have to work our needs through this working group with no clear definition of what will take place and what the timeline will be. He made it very clear that there were no promises. There is $100 million worth of emergency project funding, which may or may not be sustained over time. That was basically what I got from the meeting. I don‟t know if Dr. Evans has anything further. I didn‟t derive anything further from that. Dr. Evans: If I may add, I think you were very thorough, Dr. Hodges. The big AHA for me was that we now have to go through this committee process, whether it‟s design specifications, projects we‟re considering, prioritizations, etc. That committee is the venue through which apparently most things, and I‟m sure there are some exceptions, would need to be vetted and prioritized before any action is taken or any is seriously considered. But I think you were very thorough in your covering the nature of our discussion. Comm. Hodges: I know that the Superintendent will be appointing someone to that committee, but I think that at each and every meeting the first thing out of their mouths should be timeline. Whatever you want to do, yes timeline – yes timeline. We have to push them and hold their feet to the fire. We additionally need to reach out to our legislators to push this issue on another level because this is just totally unsatisfactory. We‟ve actually lost two projects and we have two basically on hold with an ill defined

Page 100: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 100 04/20/11

promise that some time in the future may or may not occur. So that‟s where we are. We are still looking to schedule meetings with the solar energy companies. That will take place presumably next month and moving forward with the members of the Board and members of the facilities committee. I hope that whoever is sitting there will monitor that process very, very carefully. Comm. Hodges reported that the Facilities Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution Nos. D-1 and D-2:

Resolution No. D-1

It was moved by Comm. Taylor, seconded by Comm. Best that Resolution Nos. D-1 and D-2 be adopted. Comm. Taylor: Dr. Hodges, the only thing I‟d like to ask is the work group that you‟re talking about, is it at the state level?

Page 102: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 102 04/20/11

Comm. Hodges: What do you mean the state level? Comm. Taylor: You said the SDA has a work group. Comm. Hodges: They‟re putting together people from the State Department of Education and the SDA. They have people who will be assigned to these projects. I think it‟s basically the district and you will go and basically argue about when you‟re going to get your project done. Comm. Taylor: So they‟re the court. Dr. Evans: And it‟s a competitive process. You‟re competing with other districts and other priorities that they have. It‟s highly competitive. Comm. Hodges: It‟s not going to be a thing where they say you‟re the top three or four, even though you‟ve been awarded that process. They‟re going to determine the easiest school to get built and they‟re going to move forward that way. So what you‟re going to have to do is lobby and fight. Comm. Taylor: Not the need, but the easiest. Comm. Hodges: They‟re not looking at just need anymore because the assumption is everybody needs their school. They reduced the impact of the school condition in their criteria. Comm. Taylor: Thank you. There‟s more work on this. Comm. Hodges: A lot more work on this. Comm. Taylor: I think I need to get my petitions together for Trenton. Comm. Hodges: I will say this. We made it very clear to them that even though they had established a criteria it does not necessarily mean that their criteria comports with our needs and that we will accept their criteria when it comes to what has to be done in our district. They understood that. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative, except Comm. Hodges who voted no. The motion carried. POLICY COMMITTEE Comm. Simmons:

The Policy Committee met on Monday, April 11, at 5:00 p.m. Board members in attendance were Comm. Hodges and I. Staff member in attendance was Dr. Vanden Wyngaard. Our agenda included several items: First we received an update on the school uniform proposed policy/ regulations revisions. It was indicated that we are awaiting an opinion from the district‟s general counsel on possible language that can be used to protect the district as it pertains to finances. We also discussed having community forums, developing surveys, and

Page 103: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 103 04/20/11

campaigning throughout the community to get as much parent participation as possible. Next we began to review the most recent Policy Alert (192) containing 10 policies for updating. As you will recall, extracted from this Alert were the policies dealing with special education. They have been adopted and forwarded to the County office as instructed. The remaining ones we reviewed individually for first reading. They included: a. 1230 Superintendent‟s Duties (M) b. 1522 School-level Planning (M) c. 2132 School District Goals and Objectives d. 2414 Programs and Services for Pupils in High Poverty and

in High Need School Districts (M) e. 2440 Summer Session f. 5561 Use of Physical Restraint g. 6150 Tuition Income h. 6220 Budget Preparation (M) i. 6311 Contracts for Goods or Services Funded by Federal Grants j. 6820 Financial Reports (M) Many of these policies are being revised due to administrative code citation changes. However, some of the discussion and concerns on these policies were for: 2414 Programs and Services for Pupils in High Poverty and in High Need Schools Districts – this may seem to be a labeling for a district such as this, and that it may have some implication for school vouchers. It was explained that this is a policy that was renamed and separated from another policy that was recently adopted (2428.1). It only applies to high need school districts and it is a mandatory policy. 5561 Use of Physical Restraint – the committee received Title 18 citation that governs this policy. This is a new policy. It was not realized, in some instances, that school staff has the authority to physically restrain and some may not understand that they can under certain circumstances. Reasons were given as to why some staff may be reluctant to do that. This policy, however, takes a very conservative approach to the use of physical restraint. The committee was concerned about training. We were given a copy of the proposed regulation which shows that training is imbedded. Our agenda also included policy revisions from staff. These are similar policies for teaching staff and support staff. 3321 Acceptable Use of Computer Network(s)/Computers and Resources by Teaching Staff Members 4321 Acceptable Use of Computer Network(s)/Computers and Resources by Support Staff Members This was as a result of a recent news item. The information incorporated into the policy was just extracted from another policy already in our manual. It is being incorporated into these policies for emphasis. Administration is reviewing all electronic media and communication policies for students and staff and will bring any recommended changes to the committee.

Page 104: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 104 04/20/11

Finally, there was a lengthy discussion on a dress code policy for employees. I requested a copy of our policy be provided to the committee. I also submitted a sample policy from another school district. We are one of the only school districts that do not spell out what is “inappropriate dress.” The committee did question what “professional dress” means. It seems that you can‟t make a mandatory uniform policy for students and not address the policy for employees. It was determined that this would have to be discussed with union leadership prior to any formal policy being adopted. Have a suggestion box and create a web page for comments.

Comm. Irving: At your request, the uniform subcommittee met on April 4th. Members present were Comm. Best, Comm. Mendez, and Comm. Taylor. Comm. Kerr was absent due to the scheduling of the meeting. It conflicted with his work schedule. In the meeting, we discussed the proposed policy by Comm. Mendez. We discussed different variations in which the policy should take. Comm. Mendez has thus revised the policy and once it goes back to subcommittee it will be forwarded to the policy committee for the next regular meeting for first reading. Comm. Simmons reported that the Policy Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution No. E-1:

Resolution No. E-1

WHEREAS, the Paterson Board of Education Policy Manual receives periodic revisions and additions; and WHEREAS, the Policy Committee has reviewed policies for submission to the Board for first reading; and WHEREAS, a special public comment session will be held at the May meeting on said policies; now therefore BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Education approves the following policies for first reading: 1230 Superintendent‟s Duties (M) 1522 School-level Planning (M) 2132 School District Goals and Objectives 2414 Programs and Services for Pupils in High Poverty and in High Need

School Districts (M) 2440 Summer Session 3321 Acceptable Use of Computer Network(s)/Computers and Resources by

Teaching Staff Members 4321 Acceptable Use of Computer Network(s)/Computers and Resources by

Support Staff Members 5561 Use of Physical Restraint 6150 Tuition Income 6220 Budget Preparation (M) 6311 Contracts for Goods or Services Funded by Federal Grants 6820 Financial Reports (M)

Page 105: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us

Page 105 04/20/11

FINALLY RESOLVED, that in the event any policy, part of a policy or section of the bylaws is judged to be inconsistent with law or inoperative by a court of competent jurisdiction or is invalidated by a policy or contract duly adopted by the State District Superintendent or Board of Education, the remaining bylaws, policies, and parts of policies shall remain in full effect. It was moved by Comm. Rodriguez, seconded by Comm. Mendez that Resolution No. E-1 be adopted. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried. Items Requiring Acknowledgement of Review and Comments PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Comm. Guzman: The personnel committee met on April 5, 2011. Board members present were Comm. Taylor, Comm. Mendez, and myself for the beginning of the meeting because I had to step out for a debate. The administrator present was Dr. Newell. At this particular meeting, we reviewed and commented on the personnel recommendations for the month of April 2011. Due to the fact that we can‟t discuss personnel, all we are voting on today is the fact that you acknowledge receipt and review of the personnel recommendations. Comm. Guzman reported that the Personnel Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution No. F-1:

Resolution No. F-1

WHEREAS, the State District Superintendent recommends the appointment, salary adjustments, transfers, leave of absence approvals, dismissals, contract renewals of tenured and non-tenured employees which supports the Bright Futures Strategies Plan for 2009-2014 which amongst its strategies goals is Priority I-Effective Academic Programs – Goal 1-Increase Student Achievement; and WHEREAS, the advisory Board of Paterson Public School District has reviewed the recommendation of the State District Superintendent; and WHEREAS, the advisory Board of the Paterson Board of Education has made comments as appropriate; and WHEREAS, the advisory Board of the Paterson Board of Education communicated its expectations that such recommendations are made on a timely basis and include the proposed appointment, transfer, removal or renewal of tenured and non-tenured, certificated and non-certificated personnel in compliance with contractual and/or statutory requirements;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the advisory Board of the Paterson Board of Education acknowledges reviewing and making comments based on the personnel recommendations of the State District Superintendent adopted in the April 20, 2011 Board Meeting.

Page 106: MINUTES OF THE PATERSON BOARD OF ... - paterson.k12.nj.us
