Board

Presentations:

Trina Reigelman, Energy Manager – Energy Conservation Program – Ms. Reigelman

explained how much the district has been able to save with the Energy Conservation Program.

Michael McGrath, from VanDyk Insurance Group –Mr. McGrath gave a presentation to the

Board Members and the public regarding the definitions and requirements of the Harassment,

Intimidation and Bullying regulations.

Board Work

Session:

Dr. Banks presented a policy for the first reading allowing a service animal in our district.

The Management of Pediculosis Policy is on the agenda for 2nd reading and adoption.

Ms. Cohen stated the district is required by law to increase student lunch prices so that the

District does not benefit financially from Free and Reduced reimbursements. The Board will

also be asked for increases in breakfast and staff lunch prices. The motion is on the agenda for

approval.

Ms. Cohen introduced Joe McDermott, Facilities Manager, to give a presentation on items that

are urgently needed for our district to be included in the referendum. He has been working

with the architect to determine what items are in need of repair and or replacement. She stated

that originally the referendum was going to be held in September because of the need to meet

a deadline to prove local share for the Façade Project at Frog Pond which has been approved

to receive State Grant monies to assist in the funding. The DOE has now extended the time

for securing funding of local share until June 30th. Ms. Cohen recommended to move the

referendum date to the November election so that the District does not have to use taxpayer’s

monies to fund a separate election.

Mr. McDermott discussed the fact that portions of the roof at both Frog Pond and George

Mitchell are in need of replacement. Doors and windows are also in need of replacement as

well as several roof top units at the Frog Pond School.

Ms. Frasca asked what the total cost and how it will affect the tax payers. Ms. Cohen stated

the total cost has not yet been determined. She stated that the district will apply for debt

service aid which will help to fund the debt.

Ms. Frasca asked if there was any money left over from the other referendums. Ms. Cohen

stated that the funds that were assigned for the referendum have to be used for the purposes of

the referendum only. The remainder will be returned to the taxpayers.

Mr. Maleski said if the additional repairs aren’t able to be put into the referendum, what kind

of time frame is there before we are forced to address them. Ms. Cohen answered that these

items will need to be addressed in the near future.

Ms. Palan said it would be sensible then that if we can present that these are the things that

have to be done. Also we can say the fact that they are getting money back and we can lump

all those things together then maybe the people will understand what we’re doing. It will make

sense to do everything at once. It needs to be publicized in that manner once we get all the

facts so that people will understand. Ms. Cohen stated that we will have meetings so the

public will understand what we are trying to accomplish.

Superintendent’s

Report:

Dr. Maryann Banks, announced the retirement of Ms. Alison Baker who has been the

Occupations Therapist for 7 years. On behalf of the students we thank you for your service

and wish you a happy and healthy retirement.

She read a letter from the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore acknowledging Ms. Jean Sandor for

her dedication to volunteering in the Girl Scout of the Jersey Shore Organization. Dr. Banks

publically thanked Ms. Sandor and congratulated her.

The school district will be participating in the Township’s Memorial Day contest.

They will also participate in the mayor’s award essay contest for Sixth grade students. The

topic is “What would you do if you were the Mayor of Little Egg Harbor Township.”

The Promotion ceremonies will be June 18th, GJM will be at 5:00 p.m. and FP will be at

6:30 p.m.

The last day of school is June 19th.

The next board meeting will be on June 15th.

Open to Public: Agenda Items Only – Before you speak, please sign in on the sheet so that we have your name

and address.

importance of allowing members of the public to express with each statement made by a

participant limited to three minutes as cited in Policy No. 0167.

The public may comment on any item on the agenda at this time. General public comment

will occur later in the meeting.

Pat Johnson, Sandpaper – Ms. Johnson asked how much will be returned to the taxpayers.

Ms. Cohen responded that we will have those figures after the audit is completed for the year.

They will then be included in the 2016-2017 budget.

Yvonne Gandolfo, parent – Ms. Gandolfo addressed an incident on the playground with her

daughter. She wanted to know why this incident was not categorized as a HIB issue.

divided into 3 sections 1/3 for Summer, 1/3 for Fall and 1/3 for Spring. Should there be

insufficient money to reimburse courses at 80%, the money will be divided equally using a

formula which divides the money available by the number of courses taken during that period

(summer, fall, spring). If there is not enough money to reimburse each person at the 80% rate,

the funds will be divided equally by the number of courses.
