Following the show the students had a meet and greet with Jelani Remy, the actor playing Simba. Due to a fire on Gregory Avenue, School #6 gym and auditorium were used as a shelter for 24 hours. Mr. Muñoz thanked Ms. Silva and her staff for all assistance provided to the families, Mr. Truppo and Ms. Bruce for coordinating the building, and Ms. Garcia and her Security Staff and Maintenance and Custodial Staff for providing assistance and security during the shelter. School #8 - Ms. Turcio’s 2nd grade worked on science projects that explored the concept of balance. Students were required to explain the scientific process behind their work to their peers. Due to a plumbing issue at School #8, the building was closed for 24 hours in order to repair, clean and prepare the building to reopen. Mr. Muñoz thanked the staff at School #8, Mr. Truppo and Ms. Garcia and her maintenance and custodial staff. School #11 – Held a parent workshop on use of reading assessments. Parents were explained how their child’s reading level is determined and were given ideas and techniques they can use at home to help support their children with reading.

LMS Future Educators of America participated in the Read Across America Celebration at School #1. LMS Student Government Association held a Question & Answer afternoon session on current events in Passaic and Mayor Lora shared his personal journey as a former LMS Student and explained how the City of Passaic has evolved over time. The Passaic High School’s string ensemble performed at the opening ceremony of the Passaic Experience Gallery at the Reid Memorial Branch of the Passaic Library. Students also participated in Read Across America by reading at elementary schools throughout the district and developing a video production of the event. On March 4th, four bowlers on the PHS Special Olympics Team qualified to compete in the North Sectional Competition. Two of the students earned a 4th place award with one student earning Bronze and one student earning Gold. Two students have qualified to compete at the Special Olympics Spring Games on April 2nd. PHS Students in the Advanced Placement Comparative Government class are learning the art of statecraft through a global simulation. Students will participate in a semester long simulation including answering difficult questions having to do with providing for all citizens, keeping a nation safe and balancing freedom, equality and safety. Committee Reports – Mr. Rosario shared with respect to three new policies:

1. Student Representative to the Board of Education This policy enables the board to have a student voice.

2. Positive Student Behavior Expectations/Positive School Climate 3. Students with Interrupted Formal Interruption (SIFE) Policy

Mr. Rosario stated this is a much needed district policy due to the large amount of students affected.

Mr. Rodriguez stated that the Athletics Committee met and discussed the future of athletics in the school system, especially the middle and elementary schools. Also discussed, due to recent articles in the newspapers, was the safety of the turf which was installed in the stadium, which has now been confirmed to be safe. Mr. Rodriguez stated that today was the ribbon cutting ceremony at the new field at Christopher Columbus Park at School #11 which our students will have access to and enjoy. Mr. Patel stated that he was very happy to see an increase over the past three years in athletic programs in the middle school. This increase reflects increased participation and positive engagement within the school atmosphere and an increase in recreational activities for the students. Mr. Patel stated, with regards to the Finance Committee Meetings, that the district has tremendous challenges and budgetary constraints and stated that the district has put forth a great plan.


5

Mr. Muñoz stated that the Finance Committee met today largely because the 2017-2018 budget is due at the NJDOE shortly and the board needs to approve certain elements at tonight’s meeting in order to make the submittal to the NJDOE. In the Finance and Accounting section of the agenda, Item 3, on page G-2 shows the total budget is $324,879,720. Of that portion, the taxpayers will be paying the local tax levy in the sum of $16,818,577, which again means no increase to the local taxpayers. The particulars of the budget will be presented at the Budget Hearing at the next board meeting. The Finance Committee also reviewed the preschool budget submittal and the Passaic County Superintendent’s Mid-Year Budget Review of the district. The County Superintendent gave the district a glowing review and noted that the district is in compliance with all statutes. Mr. Muñoz stated that once the budget amounts are approved at tonight’s meeting, the budget will be submitted to the County Superintendent for review; upon approval the budget will then be advertised in the newspaper and then the budget hearing will take place. At the board elections in April, the public will be able to vote on the local tax levy portion of the budget.
