Dr. Crowe gave his monthly update which focused on the 2009-10 budget. Dr. Crowe referred to this budget as the “perfect storm”, noting that even if state aid remains flat, it would be a cut for the district since fixed costs increase. Dr. Crowe stated the state of the economy has led to 17 million less in ratables.

Mr. DeMarino added that ratables have dropped 17 million on top of the 21 million that they dropped in this current fiscal year.

Dr. Crowe further stated, in addition, this is the first year the district does not have a significant amount of interest from the bond referendum. Dr. Crowe acknowledged that Mr. Molnar will be announcing a town-style meeting where the Board and Administration will receive input from the community which will be taken very seriously. Dr. Crowe stated this budget will require significant cuts, noting Central Administration and the Board are determined not to see class size increased. He stated the Administration looks forward to continuing to work with the Board, community and many dedicated employees in creating a budget that is responsible to the students, employees and taxpayers, while meeting all requirements of state statutes.

Mr. Molnar announced the town-style meeting to be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at Lafayette Estates School #25.

Ms. Acquisto moved for the adoption of the Curriculum recommendations, seconded by Ms. Hardiman. There were no comments or questions from the Board or public. With all Board members voting in favor, the foregoing was adopted. Board Attorney, Viola Lordi, had nothing to bring before the Board for open session. Under "Old Business," Mr. Miloscia read a note from Sharon McGreevey, Principal at School #19, regarding one of her students starting an organization called USMC Angel. Mr. Miloscia stated this is related to a Christmas function organized by a parent of School #19. The note explained the purpose of the organization is to support the troops by sending cards and supplies to a platoon in Iraq. Under “New Business," Ms. Hardiman read a statement advising the Board and public that she will not be seeking reelection in April. Ms. Hardiman thanked her family, the students in the district and the public for their continued support over the years she served the district as a Board member. She stated it has been an honor and a pleasure serving on the Board over the past nine years. Mr. Garley thanked Ms. Hardiman for all she has accomplished as a Board member.

February 19, 2009

Mr. Molnar stated it has been a pleasure to serve with Ms. Hardiman, noting she has represented this district proudly. Mr. Molnar thanked Ms. Hardiman for initiating the town-style meetings as well as the Board retreat. Mr. Miloscia thanked Ms. Hardiman as well. Mr. Molnar once again announced the details of the town-style meeting. Mr. Miloscia asked if any guest speakers will be attending. Mr. Molnar responded, the public. The Board President opened the meeting to the public. During this portion, P. Ballotta, Woodbridge, asked if any additional reimbursement was received from the bond referendum. Mr. DeMarino stated the last payment was received on December 22nd, noting approximately 5.1 million dollars is still owed to the district. Mr. Ballotta advised that he heard the fire districts are having difficulty getting electronic voting machines for their upcoming election. Mr. Ballotta asked where the Board stands on the use of voting machines for April. Mr. DeMarino stated he is in constant contact with John Mitch, the Municipal Clerk, and as of this time, he has not mentioned any thing to him regarding the voting machines. Mr. DeMarino stated he feels confident the school district will have use of the electronic voting machines. Mr. Ballotta asked if the re-registration process was finalized. Ms. Rotella stated the process has been finalized and the current enrollment is down approximately 300 students. Ms. Rotella stated the re-registration process proved highly successful and it has sent a warning about the purpose of education in Woodbridge. Mr. Ballotta asked how the new elementary lunch program is doing. Dr. Crowe stated the program is very successful, noting that participation in the elementary schools have increased. Dr. Crowe asked Mr. DeMarino to review the actual figures. Mr. DeMarino stated the Preferred Meals program at the 16 elementary schools has produced a net profit of $151,000 since September. Mr. DeMarino stated participation in the program continues to grow. Mr. Ballotta commented on a recent article regarding solar panels. He stated he read that PSE&G is looking into renting space from school districts and municipalities for some of these projects. Mr. Ballotta acknowledged that the district is currently working on projects to implement solar energy but asked if the district is entitled to any of the funds that were listed in the newspaper article. Dr. Crowe stated the school district is committed to moving to a greener school district and is looking into solar panels. Dr. Crowe stated all of the products presented either through PSE&G or private agencies have benefits and pitfalls to them but the district will continue to move forward on this project. Mr. Ballotta asked when the state aid numbers will be released. Mr. Crowe advised the Governor’s address is on March 10th resulting in the district receiving their figures by March 12th. Mr. Ballotta asked the certification date. Mr. DeMarino advised the budget must be to the County office by March 18th. Mr. Ballotta stated he has heard several rumors regarding cuts in courtesy bussing and cafeteria and asked if what he is hearing is true. Dr. Crowe stated everything is on the table. He further stated this Board and Administration are committed to doing everything possible to keep layoffs and job loses at a minimum. Dr. Crowe reminded him that by state law, the district is required to be below the 4% cap and everything must be looked at. Mr. Ballotta stated the Board has always supported the workers and he is hopeful that the issues will be very well broadcast to the unions, hoping that they will cooperate as well. Dr. Crowe stated it has been a long tradition in Woodbridge that the Association and Board of Education work closely to resolve issues. B. Dziedzic, Port Reading and PTO President of Avenel Middle School, thanked the Board and Administration for their support at the Harlem Wizards program. Mr. Dziedzic specifically thanked, Dr. Crowe, Mr. DeMarino, Mr. Molnar, Mayor McCormac, as well as students and staff of Avenel Middle School, Port Reading #9, Woodbine Avenue and Avenel #4&5 for their participation in the event. Mr. Dziedzic also thanked the custodial staff at Woodbridge High School and both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Balog.

February 19, 2009

Mr. Dziedzic stated the event was very successful. Dr. Crowe and Mr. Molnar made additional comments regarding the event. L. Rutenberg, Colonia, inquired if there are any plans to implement a full day kindergarten program. Dr. Crowe stated until the state makes a commitment to all day kindergarten, it would be fiscally impossible for Woodbridge to have a full day kindergarten program. Mr. Small then presented to the Board for its consideration, a resolution for a Closed Session to discuss subjects exempted from the public portion of the meeting. The discussion to be held in Closed Session will be about personnel matters which include: resignations; extensions of sympathy; retirements, leaves of absences; level movements; transfers and appointments of certified and non-certified staff; appointments for extra-curricular activities, coaches, professional development activities, home instructors; and of substitutes as follows: teachers, school aides, paraprofessionals, secretarial, cafeteria, and bus attendants. Any information regarding the Closed Session discussion will be released to the public when the reasons for discussing these matters in Closed Session no longer exist. Ms. Lordi added there will also be a matter discussed with respect to attorney advise on pending Superior Court litigation. On motion by Mr. Small, seconded by Ms. Hardiman and carried, the Board retired into Closed Session at approximately 7:44 p.m. Ms. Hardiman did not enter the Closed Session portion of the meeting. The Board returned from Closed Session at approximately 9:00 p.m. and a roll call found all members present as were previously recorded with the exception of Ms. Hardiman.
