October 13, 2010 Ms. Leidner presented the resolution to Lynn Crest School #22 Principal and staff for their selection as a 2010 United States Department of Education Blue Ribbon School.

Mr. DeMarino introduced Scott Downie and Steven Siegel of the Spiezle Group, advising they are the architects who lead the district through the last bond referendum and will be presenting the details on a possible referendum to replace roofs and place solar panels on all schools throughout the district. Mr. Downie presented a short power point addressing the roofs and solar panels. Mr. Downie stated the Department of Education will cover 40% of the cost of the project. Mr.Downie further stated that the district must move forward within 6 months of Department of Education approval in order to receive the state funding. He advised that the bond interest is currently at an all time low. Mr. Downie presented three options. Mr. Downie explained the most economical option is replacing the roofs and the installation of solar panels. He stated that option would cost the taxpayer approximately $7.00 per year.

Dr. Crowe stated the roofs need to be replaced and the district cannot replace them with the yearly school district budget. Dr. Crowe stated the state advises if the district passes the referendum, they will pay 40% of the roof costs. Dr. Crowe stated the district would be moving to sustainable New Jersey goals and following the recommendation of the Governor, the Department of Education and the Mayor. Dr. Crowe stated the Board and Administration will be available to speak at any meetings to promote the passage of the bond referendum.

Mr. Tamburello stated the roofs and solar projects are a necessity for the health and safety of the children. He stated December 14th is election day and everyone must vote yes on this necessary referendum. Mr. Tamburello stated the district will be paying less in insurance premiums by having all new roofs on our schools.

Ms. Lordi stated this is a time to provide the public with information regarding the substance of the bond referendum as Mr. Downie did this evening. She thanked the Board members for their comments.

Mr. Yuhasz stated this is a grand opportunity for this township and school district to save money. He stated it is a known fact that the roofs are in disrepair and extremely costly to fix. He acknowledged Mr. DeMarino’s work on a grant which has a deadline of February 22nd. Mr. Yuhasz thanked his fellow Board members and Dr. Crowe for their efforts on this bond referendum.

Mr. Molnar stated 6 years ago the residents of Woodbridge passed an $86,000,000 bond referendum. He stated with the new heater ventilators and new windows in the schools, it is more important than ever to replace the deteriorating roofs. Mr. Molnar stated this bond referendum is the piggyback to the previous bond referendum.

Mr. Miloscia asked for clarification on the election date. Ms. Acquisto advised December 14. Mr. Milosica clarified that the election is not a Board of Education vote. Ms. Acquisto stated the election is solely for the bond referendum

Ms. Leidner asked the cost to replace one high school roof if we were to put the cost in the budget. Mr. DeMarino stated the cost is between 1.5 and 3 million dollars. Mr. Downie stated the cost to replace the roof on Woodbridge High School is approximately $3,000,000. Ms. Leidner stated in order to replace the roof at Woodbridge High School, $3,000,000 would need to be placed in the budget at the expense of other programs. Mr. DeMarino stated he would have to cut that amount of money from somewhere else in the budget. Ms. Leidner compared the cost of a cup of coffee a week to the $7.00 per year that the bond referendum would cost the taxpayers. Ms. Leidner stated she whole-heartedly supports the bond referendum.

D. Pinkowitz, Iselin, asked if there is any flexibility in the funding since the schools are named in the project and how long is it anticipated that the construction would take. Dr. Crowe stated this is a step moving towards not selling properties, but that is not guaranteed. Mr. DeMarino stated the approved grant by the State is school specific. Mr. DeMarino stated his recommendation would be to never sell schools. Mr. Pinkowitz asked the estimated length of time for construction. Mr. Downie stated roofing work is generally done in the summer months or the evenings when children are not in the building. He stated as a result he estimates a completion period of two years, possibly three.

J. Vatric, Woodbridge, stated at a Council meeting it was mentioned that there would be a possible School Board election on December 14th. He asked for an explanation of that. Mr. DeMarino stated there would be a special election for the bond referendum only and it would be held on December 14, 2010. Mr. Vataric stated the district needs to create a clear picture of the need to pass the referendum. He stated he supports the referendum.

Ms. Acquisto thanked Mr. Downie for the power point presentation.

Mr. Tamburello asked if there will be a Spiezle presentation on the Woodbridge website. Dr. Crowe responded, once the Board approves the bond referendum, the presentation will be put on the website.

1. That the Board of Education approve the revision to the previously submitted agenda item for Food Service Management effective July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, with a guaranteed return to the district of $58,324.00, to Chartwells School Dining, 804 Broadway, West Long Branch, NJ 07764.

Ms. Leidner moved for the adoption of the Cafeteria recommendations, seconded by Mr. Molnar. During Board discussion, Ms. Leidner asked Mr. DeMarino to explain the reason the resolution needed to be amended. Mr. DeMarino explained the original resolution omitted the per meal profit that Chartwells would be receiving.

Mr. Tamburello asked why it is necessary for students to key in their PIN when they are paying cash for their meal. Mr. DeMarino stated it is a way for Chartwells to keep track of what the students are eating and their preferences. Ms. Rotella stated she feels it is a better idea for parents to put money into the students’ accounts eliminating the need for students to carry cash to school.

Ms. Leidner stated the lines should move much quicker when the cafeterias are properly staffed.

There were no comments or questions from the public. With all Board members present voting in favor, the foregoing was adopted.

Board Attorney, Viola Lordi, stated she was asked to undertake the annual review of the School Ethics Act and the Code of Ethics for School Board Members as required by New Jersey law. She advised each Board member that they are required to sign a certification and provide the certification to Ms. DeRollo to be filed in the Board Secretary’s office and submitted to the County and State as appropriate. Ms. Lordi proceeded with the presentation. There were no comments or questions following the presentation.

Under "Old Business," Ms. Leidner congratulated Ms. Yukna and the transportation department on their participation at the St. James Street Fair.

Mr. Yuhasz stated on September 25, he and fellow Board members, Mr. Miloscia, Ms. Leidner and Mr. Tamburello as well as Dr. Crowe dedicated the flag and flagpole at Woodbridge High School. Mr. Yuhasz stated new flagpoles will be installed at School #4&5 and Woodbridge Middle before the winter sets in. Mr. Yuhasz thanked the Woodbridge High School Class of 1958 and Dr. Crowe for his support of “A Salute to Old Glory”.

Under “New Business," Mr. Tamburello advised there will be a fundraiser to benefit the Ernest Dubay track meet. He stated the fundraiser is “Cooking for a Cause” at Arianna’s on Rahway Avenue in Woodbridge. The event runs for four weeks and half the proceeds are being donated to Colonia Corner Charities, who is spearheading the efforts to provide the track meet for both elementary and middle school students.

Ms. Leidner asked how far the Colonia Corner Charities are from reaching their goal. Mr. Tamburello advised the first fundraiser was the barbeque/whiffleball event which was very successful. He stated this event should put them over the top. Mr. Tamburello stated any surplus will go back to the schools most likely to extracurricular activities. Ms. Rotella asked Mr. Tamburello to keep her informed since dates for both the elementary and middle school track meets will need to be scheduled.

Mr. Miloscia asked if Shaughnessy Park was included in the cleanup project. Mr. Tamburello stated that was actually the meeting place for all participants before spreading throughout the township. Mr. Miloscia stated the dedication of the Charles Shaughnessy Park is scheduled for Saturday between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

The Board President opened the meeting to the public. During this portion, D. Davidson, Fords, announced that the Woodbridge Elks is sponsoring a breakfast to benefit the PACE organization on Sunday, November 21 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Woodbridge Elks.

D. Pinkowitz, Iselin, asked if there were any affirmative votes on Item #6 of the Superintendent’s agenda. Dr. Crowe stated each Board member abstained on their name only, but voted affirmatively on all other names.

Mr. Pinkowitz thanked the Board for moving forward with the bond referendum. He stated he feels it will be an uphill battle considering decisions made by this Board in the past. Mr. Pinkowitz expressed additional concerns over the elimination of the G&T Arts program. He stated the Board has not been consistent with their actions. Dr. Crowe thanked Mr. Pinkowitz for his endorsement of the bond, but stated he will not debate past issues. He further stated the Board of Education has always put students first.

K. Green, Iselin, expressed concern over the elimination of the G&T Arts program. Ms. Green asked if busing will be provided to transport students to competitions and concerts. Dr. Crowe stated Ms. Green brings up some very good points. He stated the Finance and Insurance Committee have directed the Administration to look for creative ways to bring programs back. Dr. Crowe stated the administrative staff was cut by more than 10%. He stated the district needs to continue to fight for funding. Dr. Crowe further stated the district will look for aggressive ways to bring back programs. He stated after the bond referendum election, the administration will look to the following year’s budget. Ms. Green suggested that the parents rally in Trenton. Dr. Crowe agreed with her suggestion but again stated all energy needs to be placed in getting the bond referendum in December passed.

Ms. Leidner stated Ms. Green’s suggestion for a rally was discussed at the Key Communicators’ meeting where she volunteered to spearhead the event.
