SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS
Superintendent Healy stated it has been a very busy spring and summer where
many of us have been preparing for this new school year and the first day of school.
At the beginning of last school year, the Toms River Regional Board of Education
worked with the community, staff, and my administrative team to develop five district
goals for the 2018-19 school year. They are as follows:
Toms River, New Jersey, August 15, 2018

The Superintendent recommends that the Toms River Regional Board of Education accept the following
district goals for School Year 2018-2019:
Toms River Regional Schools Annual District Goals 2018-2019
1. Student Achievement Informed by key data from across all five annual goals, district staff will continue to build
programs that promote future readiness, integrate content and skills, and personalize
learning for all students.
2. Budget Develop a financial plan to support our educational program that considers current and future
losses in funding with a focus on facilities improvement and alternative revenue sources.
3. Facilities Improve energy efficiency through successful implementation of the cost-neutral ESIP plan
approved in 2017-2018 and educate the public on priority projects captured in the
Rebuilding Our Schools plan completed June 2018.
4. Technology
Pilot and implement programs that promote computational thinking and its applications in
preparation to meet new state requirements by 2021; support a whole child approach and improved
data analysis to make informed decisions.
5. Community
Increase partnerships and community participation to advocate for the continued growth of
exceptional student programs in the face of anticipated state funding cuts.
Superintendent Healy stated we are aggressively addressing the state aid funding cuts
which was communicated to the community on August 2, 2018 that would cumulatively
amount to $70 million dollars in seven years. There is no way we could absorb that loss.
On August 2, 2018 I issued a letter to our entire community outlining our position
Toms River, New Jersey, August 15, 2018
4
regarding state funding and really for the first time asking for a call of action at a
heightened and almost desperate level. I issued a letter to the entire community which
included contact information for our local and state legislatures as well as the
commissioner of education. To date, we have noticed a ground swell of support by many
community members. Thanks to the hard work of Mr. Doering and his team tomorrow,
we are submitting our emergency aid application to the Department of Education. We
see resolutions being introduced by various our communities urging the passage of
legislation to address the loss in state aid. We are seeing community outreach, local
organization outreach and also work on the part of this team and Board to address the
legislature in a very logical. We will work with anyone and everyone to make sure that
this community and its state aid is rightfully restored and we respectfully request that our
community continue to support us.
Board President Corby stated the Superintendent has clearly explained the gravity of the
circumstances this district will face over the next seven years. We also have to
understand we have been losing this money over the last five years.

In addition to the Committee Chair, in attendance were Board members – Janet
Bell, Russ Corby, Gigi Esparza, Dan Leonard, Joe Nardini, Chris Raimann, Ginny Rhine,
Michele Williams, Superintendent – Dave Healy, Assistant Superintendents – Debra
McKenna, Marc Natanagara and Jim Ricotta, and Board Secretary – Wendy Saxton. The
meeting was open to the public and an opportunity for public comment was provided.
As we do every month, the committee reviewed the expenditures listed in the
Purchasing Agenda, which was posted in the Board’s Google Docs folder prior to the
Budget and Finance Committee meeting. The Purchasing Agenda also included items of
zero value, bids and resolutions. Questions were asked by various individual board
members, which were answered by Mrs. Saxton and other members of the administration.
The Purchasing Agenda for this month is in the amount of $1,996,654.94 for the 2017-
2018 school year and $18,777,263.84 for the 2018-2019 school year. The Budget and
Finance Committee is recommending the approval of the Purchasing Agenda by the full
Board.
The committee then reviewed the District lease, sponsorship and other rental
agreements and these are also being recommended for board approval. Given the timing
for booking and selling tickets for shows, a process was discussed and agreed to whereby
the Superintendent and Business Administrator could give preliminary approval for
shows with subsequent formal approval by the Board.
The Board members all agreed that they would no longer be reimbursed for their
cost to attend the N.J. School Boards Conference due to the financial constraints of the
District. The Board’s registration for this training is still to be paid by the District.
Finally, Mrs. Williams and Mr. Leonard reported to the Board on the recent
Leadership Training they attended on August 1, 2018. Areas discussed were
communication and a vision statement. Dr. Natanagara took paperwork that was
provided from Mrs. Williams from the August 1st. meeting, so copies could be
distributed to the whole Board at their next meeting.

Assistant Superintendent Debra McKenna presents the HIB Self-Assessment
On January 5, 2011, the Anti-Bullying of Bill of Rights Act was signed into law to
strengthen the standards and procedures for preventing, reporting, investigating and
responding to incidents of HIB of students that occur on school grounds and off school
grounds under specified circumstances.
The State Commissioner of Education revised the NJDOE model HIB policy which was
shared with individual school districts to aid them in the revision of their own policies in
order to align them with the amended law.
A program was designed by the Commissioner of Education to grade each public school
and school district in their efforts to implement the new Anti-Bullying Bill of
Toms River, New Jersey, August 15, 2018
13
Rights. The program of self-assessment was developed in consultation with experts in
anti-bullying strategies and school climate improvement and representatives from various
districts throughout the state. This self assessment document was revised for the 2013-14
school year based on feedback that the NJDOE received from the field during the first
year of implementation, and has remained the same through the 2017-18 school year.
The Commissioner’s program and Guidance for Determining Grades under the Anti-
Bullying Bill of Rights Act was distributed to all of our school anti-bullying specialists.
The first step of the grading program was for each school through its school safety/school
climate team to complete a self-assessment of its implementation of the ABR.
This self-assessment tool is organized into eight core elements which include various
HIB programs, trainings, curriculum, HIB personnel and HIB incident reporting and
investigation procedures. All documentation of compliance is maintained at the school
level.
Each indicator is organized into categories of compliance and each level is assigned a
score equivalence. All scores are added together to come up with individual school
grades, all school grades are then added together and averaged to come up with a district
grade.
Tonight I am here to share the scores for our district with you and also to share with you
the number of incidents reported, and investigated as well as the number that were
deemed acts of HIB. These scores will be submitted to the NJDOE and then a grade will
be determined. The self-assessment portion of the score for our district is 76 out of a
possible 78 points. When broken down by level:
High School-76/78
Intermediate-76/78
Elementary-77/78
During the 2017-2018 school year 276 acts of HIB were reported and investigated, of
those 118 were confirmed as HIB according to statute.
Toms River, New Jersey, August 15, 2018
14
This self-assessment serves as an opportunity to reflect upon our progress in
implementing the law and to reinforce and strengthen our HIB prevention and
intervention programs, policies and practices.
Administrators from each of our 18 schools have shared HIB data with staff members,
analyzed such data and targeted specific areas to focus efforts to promote positive school
culture and climate. Our school district plans to further assess strengths and
vulnerabilities for learning by conducting our annual school climate survey and using this
data to measure our program implementation.
This report is reflective of the efforts of our staff in all areas of school life:
Our school safety/school climate teams, parents, students, nurses, student assistance
counselors, guidance counselors, secretaries, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers,
our school resource officers, safety officers, and other support staff.
All members of our school community have received training and updated
communication on ABR as well as continue to implement and update programs and
activities designed to promote a positive school climate.
Each school has assigned one person to serve as anti-bullying specialist and one
administrator as a liaison to the district wide committee. These people volunteer
countless hours to trainings, investigations, program planning and additional school
safety team meetings. Our board of education recognizes and acknowledges the hard
work by these individuals and all members of our school community who share in the
goal of providing our young people with a safe and positive learning environment.
