SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS

Superintendent Healy reported on our progress of the below five district goals for the 2015-16 school year and reviewed the 2016-17 annual goals for approval this evening.

1. With the impending loss of $7.4 mil in CDBG funding, the district will stabilize the budget while

ensuring that necessary district materials, equipment and services, as well as our district goals, are not

compromised.

2. In determining our capital needs, the TRRSD will have a full facility and transportation evaluation

and begin developing more concrete plans and options for meeting those needs.

3. Increase student achievement as measured by the internal multiple measures in English

Language Arts, Mathematics and Science compared to the peer groups and statewide averages.

Multiple measures include SAT, PSAT, AP, End of Course Biology, NJASK8 Science,

Quarterly Assessments, Benchmark Assessments, Diagnostic Reading Assessment, and the

Kindergarten Assessment (Teaching Strategies Gold).

4. Continue to build capacity of teachers to engage in continuous growth by using technology to

enhance instruction across all curricular areas, improve professional practice, and build 21st century


3

information-technology literacy skills for themselves and their students using Chromebooks, digital

devices and Google apps for education.

5. Continue to improve school culture and climate, as measured by decreases in chronic

student absenteeism, reported EVVRS incidents and overall student disciplinary referrals.

2016-2017 Annual Goals that are on the agenda for approval this evening are as follows:

1. Student Achievement The district will expand its comprehensive literacy program to promote student independence and

growth at the elementary level; expand career education opportunities at the secondary level.

2. Budget To support and expand our educational programs, the district will continue to pursue alternative revenue

sources by increasing grant applications, corporate sponsorships, enterprise funds and partnerships.

3. Facilities Based on the 2015-16 comprehensive facilities assessment, the district will develop plans to address

highest priority issues within the parameters of a responsible budget while determining funding sources.

4. Technology The district will increase access to digital resources integrated across the curriculum, including online

courses and assessments.

5. Communications The district will increase communication with the community, including improving its online presence

(ex. website).

Superintendent Healy stated he is extremely pleased with the success of our many important

initiatives to date and the student centered focus of our teams. This success is a direct reflection of the

support of our board of education, our community and the commitment of our faculty and administration

toward professional development, increased student achievement and improvements in the culture and

climate of our schools.

COMMITTEE REPORTS/BOARD COMMENTS

Budget & Finance Committee – Mr. Corby

The Budget and Finance Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River

Regional Schools met on August 10, 2016 at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New

Jersey in Conference Room A at 7:00 P.M. Committee Chair, Russell Corby, read the

following opening statement:


4

“Good evening, welcome to the Budget and Finance Committee Meeting of the

Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools. Notice of this meeting was

published in the Asbury Park Press on August 4, 2016 which constituted at least 48 hours

notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act.”

In addition to the Committee Chair, in attendance were Board members- Loreen

Torrone, Gigi Esparza, Joe Nardini, Chris Raimann and Jim Sigurdson, Superintendent-

Dave Healy, Assistant Superintendents- Debra McKenna, Dr. Marc Natanagara and John

Coleman, Business Administrator- Bill Doering 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 on the

Purchasing Agenda, which was e-mailed to all Board members and 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 Mr. Doering and other

members of the administration. The Purchasing Agenda for this month is in the amount

of $1,008,004.52 for the 2015/16 school year and $22,991,501.32 for the 2016-17 school

year. The Budget & 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.

The committee then discussed a proposed refunding of nearly $6 mil of our 2007

bonds. The refunding would yield a net present value savings of 5.927%, or a total

savings, net of issuance costs, of approximately $357,000. A total savings of 3% is

required, and after monitoring interest rates for some time and given the call status of the

bonds, we are now able to proceed and a refunding ordinance will be on the August 2016

Board agenda.

Finally, the committee was reminded that as discussed during the Transportation

Study process, given the challenges with existing bus routes, we needed some bus stops

to be consolidated for 2016-17. Therefore, notably for the nonpublic schools which

cover large geographic areas, there will be some bus stops consolidated for next school

year. It is not expected that any child will have to walk an unreasonable distance to get to

a bus stop. The Committee was also informed that for 2016-17, bus passes will also be

available online through the parent portal. Information regarding this will be going out

shortly.

Building & Grounds Committee – Mr. Nardini

The Building and Grounds Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms

River Regional Schools met on August 10, 2016 in Conference Room A at 1144 Hooper

Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey at 7:30 P.M. Acting Committee Chair, Joe Nardini,

read the following opening statement:

“Good evening, welcome to the Building and Grounds Committee Meeting of the

Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools. Notice of this meeting was

published in the Asbury Park Press on August 4, 2016 which constituted at least 48

hours’ notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act.”

In addition to the Committee Chair, in attendance were Board members- Loreen

Torrone, Russell Corby, Gigi Esparza, Chris Raimann and Jim Sigurdson,

Superintendent- Dave Healy, Assistant Superintendents- Debra McKenna, Dr. Marc

Natanagara and John Coleman, Business Administrator- Bill Doering and Educational

Facilities Manager- Mark Wagner. The meeting was open to the public and an

opportunity for public comment was provided.

The committee discussed the projects and ongoing work in and around our

buildings, including the following:

H.S. South- the Gaiter Way entranceway project is now complete, and district is

most appreciative of the efforts and resources provided by donors through the High

School South Alumni Association.

South Toms River Elementary- the balcony project is ongoing and given the timing

of the plank fabrication, the project is expected to be completed in the second half

of September 2016.

Walnut Street Elementary- regarding the boiler project, remediation is completed

and the contractor has started work. The boilers are expected to be fully

operational by the next heating season.

District-wide: paving and asphalt repairs for smaller areas are being handled by

district staff at Citta Elementary and Cedar Grove Elementary. Quotes are still

being evaluated for additional repairs and repaving of larger areas at H.S. East,

Silver Bay Elementary, Cedar Grove Elementary and East Dover elementary.


6

Pine Belt Arena- the Maintenance Department has started the shower facility

project and completion is anticipated by the end of the month.

District-wide: Energy Management system software upgrades are continuing,

covering many schools. In terms of school environments, this will further assist in

monitoring, tracking and adjusting.

District-wide: security and access control systems are being installed and upgraded

based on needs and available funding.

High School South- a shared service agreement is being proposed between the

school district, Toms River Parking Authority (‘TRPA’) and the Township of

Toms River for the school-owned parking lot where the old ‘J Building’ used to

reside. This would provide some parking spaces along Courthouse Lane for public

use downtown, and would allocate approximately 49 spaces for High School South

parking. The parking spaces allocated for Central Registration and the Partnership

health Center would remain. The lot would be metered and the line-striping, snow

plowing, parking revenue collections and parking enforcement would be handled

by TRPA. The district would receive 50% of the parking meter revenue, and the

TRPA would keep 50% of the parking meter revenue and 100% of the parking fine

revenue. This proposal would greatly assist with the shortage of parking at High

School South, notably student parking, as approximately 49 additional spaces

would now be available. This shared service agreement is being reviewed by our

Board Attorney as final clarifications are made and incorporated into the

agreement. A question was asked regarding ensuring that public attending High

School South football games can still park in this lot without having to pay. This

was part of the original discussions and will be addressed.

Citta Elementary and Central Registration- the proprietary communication system

at Citta Elementary has been fixed by the vendor and a necessary part is on order

for the communication system at Central Registration, which will be repaired by

our in-house staff.

District-wide: it was noted that while removing carpet in several rooms so tile can

be installed, some remediation has been necessary based on the condition of the

asbestos tiles.

Intermediate East- the PTO has purchased approximately 60 fans which will be

installed by the Facilities Department when the order comes in.


7

District-wide: information for Lead testing of water lines has been provided by the

Facilities Department to the Purchasing Department to facilitate a bid process. It

appears that the final NJ State Budget contains $10 million in funding to support

Lead testing efforts, and we will proceed with bid process as we await guidance

from the State regarding the parameters and application process for reimbursement.

Curriculum Committee – Mr. Onofrietti

The Curriculum Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional

Schools met on August 10, 2016 in Conference Room A at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms

River, New Jersey at 8:30 P.M. Acting Committee Chair, Loreen Torrone, read the

following opening statement:

“Good evening, welcome to the Curriculum Committee Meeting of the Board of

Education of the Toms River Regional Schools. Notice of this meeting was published in

the Asbury Park Press on August 4, 2016 which constituted at least 48 hours’ notice as


In addition to the Committee Chair, in attendance were Board members Russell

Corby, Gigi Esparza, Chris Raimann and Jim Sigurdson, Superintendent- Dave Healy,

Assistant Superintendents- Debra McKenna, Dr. Marc Natanagara and John Coleman,

Business Administrator- Bill Doering and Directors Norma DeNoia, Cara DiMeo, and

Estee Mailot. The meeting was open to the public and an opportunity for public

comment was provided.

The first year results of our high school freshman academies were presented. The

program addresses potential intermediate-to-high-school transition issues, including

attendance, participation, achievement, self esteem and a sense of connection with peers

and the school. Strategies include using core teacher and guidance teams, common

planning and conferencing, interdisciplinary learning units, team spirit and social

activities. The results show a reduction in tardiness, fewer course failures, increases in

grade averages, and an increase in overall attendance rates. The teacher, counselor and

administrator teams engage in ongoing reflection to build on what works.

Rachel Cicala, the new instructional supervisor at Citta Elementary, was

introduced and welcomed.

Mrs. McKenna spoke about the significant work that has been done on elementary

curriculum and instruction over the past few years. The last state QSAC district review

uncovered significant gaps in the elementary curriculum. Programs in all subject areas

are now complete and in alignment with the newest standards and educational research.

The student-centered classroom redesign has focused on engagement, collaboration, and

building independence. Teacher practice is also more collaborative, consistent across

schools and grades, more supported by meaningful targeted professional learning

opportunities, uses higher quality resources, and better integrates technology. Mrs.

McKenna praised our elementary administrators and teachers for their hard work and

successes with implementing our new programs and instructional model.

The most exciting part for our district educators has been seen in student achievement

gains as well as the increased levels of student engagement.Visits to our classrooms also

reveal a sophisticated level of understanding of the instructional process and independent

learning by our students.

Currently professional development is being designed using teacher and

administrative input. More training is being offered in-district by teacher leaders, who

have become experts in various areas of curriculum and instructional practices. An ideal

example was last week’s Center Fair for kindergarten and 1st grade, a half day

conference of hands-on learning tools and techniques, which was created by teachers and

attended by nearly all of their grade level colleagues. Our summer professional

development opportunities have been well attended, further showing the level of

commitment of our teachers.

Our Basic Skills program has recently been restructured, due to research results

that revealed inefficiencies in the prior model. The before and after school programs saw

erratic attendance, allowed for limited communication between the basic skills teachers

and the regular classroom teachers and had little transfer of skills into the regular literacy

program. Our current restructured Basic Skills program allows teachers to focus on

specific skills with students. The goal of the revisions to the program was to bring

students up to grade level and provide them with opportunities to have function

independently. Intervention teams are being formed at each school with collaboration

among teachers, district wide. Principal faculty meetings have focused more on learning

and school culture, with measurable results. The budget this past year focused more on

professional learning and classroom resources than it has for many years.

Mrs. Dimeo detailed the scope of the elementary level curriculum work. Quality

literacy instruction has been a particular focus, and student achievement has seen strong

results from early stages of the programs.The shift to a workshop model was discussed, in


9

which learning takes place in whole group, small group, and individual settings. This

model also moves away from the mindset of the use of the textbook to replace

curriculum-driven instruction, rather than helping students gain the skills and strategies

they need in order for learning to be meaningful, cross curricular, and enduring.

Mrs. Dimeo’s presentation was comprehensive and gave various examples of the

specific elements of the instructional model, the philosophical shift that it embodies and

the research that shows that it reflects how students of today learn best.

The main goals for the coming year include addressing new science standards,

increasing the size of classroom libraries, expanding centers into 1st grade, providing for

additional opportunities for articulation between the elementary and intermediate

teachers, and improving the quality and consistency of 504s, basic skills, and Intervention

and Referral Services.

Mr. Healy reminded the group that the past few budgets reflect a significant

increase in the overall expenditures dedicated to curriculum resources, professional

development and educational technology purchases. Mrs. Terrone furthered this point by

stating that the results of the public survey that was taken during the last superintendent

search, showed that all of the district stakeholders of the Toms River Regional School

community wanted to see increases in these areas. The hard work and successes of

teachers in these endeavors was recognized.

Insurance Committee – Mr. Onofrietti

The Insurance Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional

Schools met at 5:00 P.M. on July 20, 2016 in the conference area behind the main office of

High School North, Toms River, New Jersey. This meeting is not publicly advertised as the

committee reviews insurance information, including workers compensation and liability,

which may include items in litigation or names and case information for individuals,

including staff members.

In attendance were Committee Chair- Loreen Torrone, Board members Gigi Esparza,

Gloria McCormack and Chris Raimann, as well as Business Administrator- William Doering

and Superintendent- David Healy. Also in attendance was Stuart Migdon with the district

health insurance broker, Business and Governmental Insurance Agency (BGIA) and Doug

Forrester with the district health insurance program manager, Integrity Health, as well as

Larry Graham, Tom Fitzpatrick and Zach Edelman from the district property and casualty

insurance broker, Fairview Insurance Agency.


10

Mr. Migdon from BGIA provided the committee with data for the first quarter of

2016 (January-March) regarding the prescription drug savings in utilizing Remedy

Analytics. The committee was then informed that primarily due to the termination of the

prior TPA and network, and the resultant acceleration of claims under threat of termination,

which would have been very detrimental to our employees, the claim backlog did grow

coming into June 2016. A significant portion of the backlog was addressed in early July

2016, and given the claim and cost projections for 2016-17, we do not expect any ongoing

issues regarding claim backlog. The committee then discussed supplemental health

products, and the conclusion is that such supplements are not covered by our plan and are

not allowed to be sold at the PHC.

Mr. Graham, Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Edelman from Fairview Insurance updated the

committee regarding the status of the property casualty insurances. All 2016-17 policies

were negotiated and placed by the prior broker, Brown and Brown, but Fairview will be

reviewing all policies and contracts and will discuss the status of their review at the next

quarterly meeting.

Regarding the quarterly meeting schedule, we will return to the previous schedule

whereby the next meeting will be in November 2016, and then every three months

thereafter, including February 2017 and May 2017.

Assistant Superintendent Debra McKenna presents the HIB Self-Assessment

On January 5, 2011, Governor Christie signed into law P.L. 2010, Ch 122, an act

concerning HIB in school settings that amended various parts of the statutory law. The

area that applies specifically to school policy and procedures amended NJSA 18A:37-13

which included the requirements for the prevention and intervention of HIB on and off

school grounds, at school-sponsored functions and on school buses.

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 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 2015-16 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 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.


13

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 75 out of a

possible 78 points. When broken down by level:

High School-76/78

Intermediate-75/78

Elementary-75/78

During the 2015-2016 school year 303 acts of HIB were reported and investigated, of

those 125 were confirmed as HIB according to statute.

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.

This report is reflective of the efforts of our staff in all areas of school life:

Our school safety 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 programs and activities designed to promote a

positive school climate.

Each school has assigned one person to serve as the anti bullying specialist. 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.
