Mr. Corby praised our students who participated in the student statement on gun

SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS

On this evening’s agenda, there is a resolution for approval proclaiming the month of

April as Autism Awareness Month. Mrs. Joy Forrest, our Director of Special Services

will do the honors.

NJ Makers Day is a statewide celebration that focuses on the maker culture and aligns

with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) initiatives in our school

district.

On March 9th, students across our school district participated in the celebration by

actively taking part in hands-on learning activities that had a STEAM focus.

Our students were able to put their hands and their minds to work solving problems and

creating things. NJ Makers day was celebrated in libraries, museums, and other schools

across the state. Our school community members were able to experience making in all

its forms, from computer programming to sewing to engineering design and

manufacturing. The goals of the event reinforce the push, both within Toms River and

elsewhere, to integrate “STEAM” across the curriculum to meet new standards, address

career and college readiness, and challenge students with real-world applications,

officials said.

Toms River Regional has focused on improving technology and promoting innovative

practices over the past several years, including the purchase of thousands of

Chromebooks and other devices, increases in bandwidth, the expansion of wireless

access, and the creation of makerspaces in each of its schools.

Without our collaborations with community organizations and businesses many of these

initiatives would not be possible and we are very grateful for our growing educational

partnerships and proud of the quality and value they bring to our school district.

We continue to grow and improve our curriculum and technology through partnerships,

grants, and the creativity of our teachers, students, and administrators. Our staff and

students are connecting with peers all over New Jersey, both in person and through

virtual platforms. We are particularly excited about our Ocean County partners and

drawing attention to the great resources in this part of the state.”

Not only are we expanding our possible resources, but our students are forming

relationships and gaining experiences that will last a lifetime. We thank our teachers,

administrators, parents and especially our students for another exceptional day.

I encourage you to go to our district’s web page to see some of the fun activities, projects

and photographs of our students during NJ Makers Day.

I would like to introduce Brian Engle, Regional Manager for Source 4 Teachers, our

substitute teacher service provider. Mr. Engle has a district recognition award to present

as well three HS school scholarships that will be provided beginning this year to three

graduating seniors, one at HSN, HSE and HSS for the student with best attendance for

his/her 4 years of high school. If necessary and in the event of a ties, our principals will

go back to Intermediate school attendance.

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 Mr. Doering and other members of the administration. The

Purchasing Agenda for this month is in the amount of

$1,120,021.05 the 2017-18 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 County Office of the NJ Department of Education issued a 2017-18 mid-year

budget review letter subsequent to evaluating the district’s performance compared to

the State’s efficiency standards. The County letter highlighted that the district exceeds

all of the State’s efficiency standards.

The committee was then apprised that the 2018-19 tentative budget will be on the March

21, 2018 Board agenda for submission to the NJ Department of Education. Subsequent

to the release of the State Aid figures, which is expected at the end of the day on March

15, 2018, the tentative budget will be finalized. It was noted that the tentative budget is a

starting point, and a Citizens’ Budget Ad- Hoc Committee meeting will be scheduled for

late March 2018 whereby the details of the tentative budget will be presented.

Board President Corby discussed the status of the Board and Superintendent

evaluation process.

Finally, the committee was presented with detailed evidence of the progress and

success in achieving the 5 District Goals for 2017-18:

1. Student Achievement: Implement a student centered and hands-on inquiry

model for science instruction in K-12 classrooms using engineering practices

and an integrated STEAM approach that will promote college and career

readiness.


6

2. Budget: Develop a financial plan to continue supporting our educational

program that considers losses in funding and alternative revenue sources.

3. Facilities: Based on the 2015-16 comprehensive facilities assessment, continue to

finalize priority project plans in the Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP)

for implementation while developing referendum plans.

4. Technology: The application of technology will enable more personalized,

cross- curricular, and problem-based student learning at all levels, and improve

district productivity and communication cost effectively through new platforms

and systems.

5. Community: The district will increase its partnerships with external resources;

improve and expand communication and outreach; and increase the number and

diversity of activities that benefit the entire community.

Old Business discussion:

1. The traffic safety lights discussed over the past several months have been delivered

and contractors have been hired to accelerate the replacements and upgrades at the

sites across the district, including the four sites at North Dover Elementary.

2. Work on the High School North fieldhouse roof began this week and is expected to

be completed within 10 days, allowing work to begin on the interior for a July

2018 completion. Quotes for other trades are being secured.

3. HVAC at many of our schools, High School East in particular, continues to be a

challenge as older systems don’t function cohesively, causing temperature highs

and lows. Interventions are being implemented, including insulating pipes and

installing temporary cooling units. The ESIP work beginning this summer will

begin to address some of these problems.

4. The rededication of the downtown Poseidon Lab, renovated with a Sustainable

Jersey grant and snowed out last month, has been rescheduled for March 26 from 1

to 2 PM at the lab on Main and Herflicker. The public is welcome to attend.

5. The Facilities compound gate will become fully mechanically operational with

repairs. Quotes are being secured from three vendors. The rear gate is functional

for exiting.

6. Bids are being reviewed for the High School North solar inverter.

7. Verbal confirmation of approval for the ESIP boiler projects was provided by the

NJDOE, allowing the bids process to begin shortly. Another meeting with Maser

consultants Friday March 16 further narrowed the priority referendum projects.

8. The plan for the changing room at Silver Bay Elementary will go for approval to

the NJDOE, as it is a change of use.

9. Adjustments are being made to two entrance areas at Intermediate East are being

made to provide greater wheelchair accessibility.

10. Engineers are analyzing all of our elementary playgrounds and providing

recommendations and cost estimates for repairs or replacements. Replacement

playgrounds at Silver Bay and Beachwood Elementary, both used in part by

students with disabilities, are priorities. Grants are being investigated.

New Business discussion:

1. A fence broken at Walnut Street Elementary by neighborhood children after school

that was only recently reported has been fixed.

2. Handicap curb breaks at South Toms River will be completed by our masons this

week.
