PEI Update

● All RHS students have been busy this year increasing their PEI skills and February and March were no

different!

and were given the chance to practice mindful breathing, eating, and muscle relaxation.

● In March freshmen worked on character strengths and deciding which of their strengths would be most

beneficial on a deserted island. Students in grades 10-12 worked on the “SCARF” model to navigate through

VIII. PUBLIC HEARING: POLICY 5536: RANDOM DRUG TESTING

Members of the public were provided an opportunity to comment and ask questions about the Random Drug

Testing policy. Earlier in the evening an information session was held to provide students and parents with

information about the September 2019 implementation of the RDT. A FAQ has been created and is posted on the

district website to further address and clarify parent concerns.


A. Susan Weintraub – Would have liked an opportunity to ask questions during the RDT forum.

B. Marci Rossi-DeVito – Asked what is involved in the policy adoption process – Mrs. Luciano clarified.

C. Justin Hughes – Since the law mandates that RDT must involve a competitive activity, why are students in

activities such as drama required to participate? American Academy of Pediatrics is not in favor of RDT.

D. Brad Daniels – Just because there is a legal basis for RDT does not make it a good idea. It is a violation of 4th

amendment rights. Will organize opposition.

E. Jody Pineto – Singles out kids who participate in activities and should address all students fairly. This

measure will create additional stress on students.

F. Michelle Carmignani– Policy will be a deterrent but expressed concern about workload for staff.

G. Aaron Hobart – Policy might be a good out for kids to combat peer pressure.

H. Christine Lyons – Exclusionary policy – Did not like the format of the information session – Parents could

not ask questions.

I. Avery Hutchinson – Not in favor of the policy as it is written – Keep playing field level – Asked what $25K

in budget for RDT covers.

J. Leif Breeden – Doesn’t agree with the privilege aspect. Needs more consideration – May be appropriate for

sports but not for other activities.

K. Jessica Leale – It is the parent’s responsibility – not the school’s – to decide how to deal with drug issues.

L. Michelle Carmignani – Asked about various levels of consequence.

M. Carol Ann Blank – Asked district to revisit excluding students from activities as a consequence –

Communicate protocol regarding students required to take medication.

N. Susan Weintraub – If students opt out are they punished?

O. Christine Lyons – Is confidentiality ensured? Should be a way to share questions.

P. Toni – How often will tests occur? What controls are in place to ensure that the same students are not being

tested again and again?

Q. Mayor Fried – The Mayor spoke about the CARE program – 75 individuals within the past year – Addiction

is a disease.

R. Jansee Sadula – If program can deter on child it will be worth it – Does not like privilege contingency.

S. Aaron Hobart – Does testing fall under HIPPA? (BOE Att’y. – FERPA)

T. Elissa Harris – What exactly will be tested? (Dr. Tew – List of prohibited substances on website.)

U. Carol Ann Blank – What are the steps in the policy process?

V. Noushin Kanani – Policy needs parent buy in.

W. Marci Rossi-DeVito – Let students have input.

X. ? – Clarify consequences for 1st – 3

rd offenses

Y. Shannon Gafgen – Agrees with therapeutic approach vs. punitive. Proud of community.

Board members also commented.

Mrs. Luciano – Likes the idea of considering community service as a consequence and expressed concern about

placing additional burden on the SAC.

Mrs. Temple – Asked the administration to consider the logistical aspects of testing large groups of students at a

time.


Mr. Heilman – The Board / Committee has taken a year to explore implementation of the policy. It has been well

thought out.

Mr. Young – Concerned about 3rd

strike but the policy will be worth it if it saves lives.

Mrs. DeVito – The purpose of the public comment was for feedback. Reminded the Board and members of the

public that a policy is already in place in the event that any member of the student body is suspected of being under

the influence.

Mr. Galluccio – Supports BOE move in this direction but advocated for additional research.

Mrs. Ciaccio – In her job as a social worker Mrs. Ciaccio indicated that in 90% of drug related cases, the

individuals began drug use in high school. Likes considering community service as a consequence.

Mrs. Luciano – Completely behind policy.

IX. REVIEW POLICY & REGULATION 5536: FIRST READING (Attachments #1 & #2)
