PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Performance by Rosa L. Parks School of Fine & Performing Arts Jazz Ensemble Dr. Glascoe: Tonight I'm extremely delighted to introduce a group of talented student musicians from Rosa Parks High School of Fine & Performing Arts and this is their Jazz
Page 2 2/20/08
Ensemble. I'm also pleased to announce that many of these outstanding students have embarked on an amazing musical journey by performing with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and participating in musical venues like Jazz at the Lincoln Center and Essentially Ellington Jazz Project, just to name a few. This praise is a tremendous honor for us as a school district to have so many talented individuals with us. So under the direction of their also accomplished musician Mr. Kenneth Davis this phenomenal group will render two selections for our listening pleasure, “All Blues,” a Miles Davis composition, and “My Funny Valentine,” which was arranged by Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart. So we are certainly in for a treat tonight. So without further ado, the Jazz Ensemble. (Performance by Rosa L. Parks School of Fine & Performing Arts Jazz Ensemble) Dr. Glascoe: Let's give them a big hand. Mr. Davis, on behalf of the School Board and all of us here we really appreciate you bringing these wonderful musicians out to perform for us tonight. But I also want to acknowledge the principal Ms. Smith who is here in the audience. Do we have parents and other staff members from Rosa Parks in the audience? Will you please stand? You can't wave. You have to stand and be recognized. I do want to point out something about Rosa Parks and you may have heard about it. I have to take this time to recognize them for being ranked as one of America’s best high schools by the US News & World Report. I think that deserves a standing ovation. Again to the parents, thank you very much for sending us the very best. Thank you. Superintendent’s Book Club Dr. Glascoe: Now I have two presentations for the Superintendent’s Book Club and we haven’t done this in a while so I missed it. I’ll use this as an opportunity to again say to the students throughout our district that reading is fundamental. That is not just a cliché. It will open the doors for you. You will have information. You will have access. So as I have always said very simply, read, read, and read again. As you know, with the Superintendent’s Book Club students will read a book and review that book and share it with me. In reciprocation I present them with a book. I'm going to do this a little bit differently. I usually bring the students down here and they get a little nervous. So I'm just going to read their card and then ask the students to come forward with their parent and school principal if those people are here. I think both of them are here. Is Bonnie Miele here? Be prepared. First up is from Talmina Alam and she is from Rosa Parks High School. She read “A Thousand Splendid Suns.” What she told me is that it’s a very inspiring and well-written book. The book takes place in Afghanistan during the war. It’s about two young women and all of the suffering they go through with their husbands and the new regimes coming and going. For the past couple of years as we know Afghanistan went through at least three regimes each of them trying to better Afghanistan but in reality it was really hurting the people. So the book shows what the women went through during those regimes and those wars. They were forced to wear those Burqa’s and quit their careers. There’s a tremendous double standard in many of our countries around the world and this book is extremely dramatic and interesting, writes Talmina. She highly recommends the book to people who know nothing of Afghanistan and its past. So it would be enlightening. If Talmina could come forward with her principal Ms. Smith and her parents if they are here. Talmina, I'm going to present my gift book titled “I Feel a Little Jumpy Around You.” I'm going to probably get in trouble but I think every male in this room should read this book. But this is a lighthearted book about how women and men are different and it is done through poems. It’s about how women will see one issue and a man may see it differently and it’s all done very lightheartedly through poems. I hope that Talmina will love this book
Page 3 2/20/08
and I hope that she will get a little jumpy reading this book. So Talmina, this book is for you and congratulations. From PANTHER Academy, Kevan Wright. He read “Animal Farm” and he said, "I really recommend that you read this book because it has action and drama and suspense." This book is about the futuristic world where animals can speak. I have told a couple of my grandchildren that the animals have been meeting and talking about us and they really believed me. Then I had to go back and explain to them that I was just kidding and their parents were not happy about that. Maybe when they are a little bit older they can read “Animal Farm” too. But these animals plan their escape from a vicious farmer who is mistreating them. They break free from the farmer, become independent, and decide to build their own government. That sounds a little familiar. But their government became corrupted because the animals began to hurt each other and steal and all of those bad things with each other and in the end they figured that it doesn’t matter who is in charge. It matters who is chosen and people working together. That was very insightful, Kevan. If you could come forward I’d like to now present to you with Ms. Miele and Kevan’s mom. Kevan said it really doesn’t matter who is in charge when there is chaos, so I'm presenting to him a book called “Teen Power Politics” by Sara Jane Boyers. Hopefully, in your generation you can change the things that need to be changed in our society and this book I present to you as my appreciation for presenting your book to me. Thank you very much. Recognition of Moorice Caparo for Outstanding Performance on the SAT Dr. Glascoe: I'm sorry. I move too quickly. Is Vivian Gaines in the audience? I'm going to join her at the podium in a second. I don’t have words to express how excited and proud we all are that in our midst we have a student, Moorice Caparo, who just took the math portion of the SAT and just kicked it. I mean - it was unbelievable. My words can't do justice to what we think and feel about this young man, but the most important thing for me as a Superintendent is that he is one of ours. So I'm going to join you at the podium but Ms. Gaines who is our director of math is going to make the presentation and I'm going to join them at the podium. Ms. Vivian Gaines: On behalf of Paterson Public Schools, the Paterson community, our Superintendent, your principal, and all of us gathered here, we salute you this evening for your outstanding performance on the SAT. He had one problem wrong on the math section. He scored a 780. We are presenting him with our newly established award for academic excellence in mathematics called the “Math Minds Award.” Dr. Glascoe: I was just asking if he’s available for tutoring. I think I still have to pass freshman math. Ms. Bonnie Miele: I would just like to acknowledge Moorice Caparo for his outstanding job that he has done in PANTHER for the past three and a half years. A little story about Moorice, he came to us just from Peru and spoke little to no English. He said he wanted to come to PANTHER and he wanted to learn. Through the process Moorice was first in ESL and he said he did not want to just stay in ESL but he wanted a regular English class. He has taken English as a regular English-speaking student since his freshman year and has achieved all As. It has been a privilege and an honor to have him as part of the Paterson community and he will be getting his personal interview by Princeton on Tuesday morning at 7:30. Comm. Sayegh: Thank you, Ms. Miele. Thank you, Moorice. In my case on the math portion of the SAT I got one right. Thank you. I just want to remind everyone that if you
Page 4 2/20/08
wish to address the Board of Education during the public portion we will be collecting the sign-up sheet after the conclusion of Dr. Glascoe’s report. REPORT OF STATE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Glascoe: What a wonderful way to start the evening with our wonderful students from the Jazz Band, to the Book Club, to Moorice. I just have a few brief announcements to make. I just want to give applause to the Pre-Collegiate Teaching Academy because we have their seniors out in our schools interning at several of our elementary schools. Some of the schools they are in are the Academy of the Performing Arts, Norman S. Weir, and School 28 and there may be one or two others. But it just warms my heart that these students are whetting their appetite for the best profession of all because without the teaching profession there would be no other profession. Congratulations to Miasia Jacobs who is an eighth grade student from Alexander Hamilton. She ranked first place in the 34th Anniversary of the Colgate Women’s Games Track and Field Series. That was held on Saturday, February 9 at Madison Square Garden. I understand she was awarded a $1,000 scholarship or grant. Finally, I just want to remind everyone to be sure to attend the district’s 14th Annual All-City Art Exhibition. A thorough and thought-provoking exhibition is being planned and it’s entitled “Going Green.” Students will showcase a plethora of art focusing on environmental issues, which as you well know is very important in this day and time. The details are, and I hope I have this correct, PANTHER Academy, the opening ceremony, and it is Tuesday, March 11 at 4:00 p.m. Then on Wednesday, March 12, April 9 from 8:30 to 4:00 p.m. If you have any questions regarding it or concerns you can certainly call the visual and performing arts office and that extension is 10712. Again, we look forward to this all-city exhibition and this is the 14th annual one so please come out and support it. That concludes my remarks. Thank you. REPORT OF BOARD PRESIDENT Comm. Sayegh: Thank you, Dr. Glascoe. We have apprized the members of the general public of our efforts to be in compliance with QSAC to eventually facilitate the path to local control. On Monday, February 11 the Board of Education met in what we have dubbed a Board Forward to work on two items. One was the improvement plan where we have identified areas where we look to make progress so that in the area of governance we can regain and retain control. Following the conclusion of the work on the improvement plan we worked on a strategic plan, which dealt with a self-assessment of each Board member and also an evaluation of the Superintendent. I want to remind Board members that we agreed to a deadline next week February 26 to submit our self-assessments to the main office to be completed and then following that to be sent to the Department of Education. On a more athletic note, I would acknowledge Eastside High School. This Saturday at noon the Ghosts will be taking on Wayne Valley and I hope to see each and every one of you at this event where our Mighty Ghosts hopefully will prevail. At this time, I’d like to ask for a motion to open the floor up for public comments. PUBLIC COMMENTS It was moved by Comm. Muhammad, seconded by Comm. Hodges that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be opened. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried. Comm. Sayegh: I must remind those who have signed to participate that each individual has three minutes. When that time is concluded I ask that you kindly take
Page 5 2/20/08
your seat. First speaker please. Ms. A. Long: I’d like to address the Board members and the Superintendent. Are the allegations true that the Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools does not have the required mandated certification and without that certification will not receive any penalty for collecting approximately $400,000 and it will not affect the pension nor will any charges be brought? Comm. Sayegh: Ma’am, I don’t believe we are at liberty to address that. That is a personnel matter. Ms. Long: I did not name the person. It’s just a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question. Is that allegation being investigated? Let’s move on to the second question. Prior to 2008 was that same Assistant Superintendent directly or indirectly supervising her children? Let's move on to the next issue. Prior to 2007 we know that Zatiti Moody did not have the principal certification, yet he misrepresented himself as principal. Unless he received the promotion he is still misrepresenting himself as principal even on your website. He has carried out the duties as a principal without the promotion and/or certification prior to 2007. What about the children who were affected by these decisions? That is a personnel matter. Lastly before I leave I would like things to be investigated. I am sadly dismayed that no one represented the Paterson Public Schools at the American Legion National High School Oratorical Contest regarding the Constitution this past Saturday, February 16. It has been going on for years and no one from the Paterson Public Schools has been there. If they make it to the level or just represent the school or try they receive a monetary award. Just going to the nationals if they win the first level is a $1,800 scholarship. I am very dismayed that no one has done this. I’d like to bring this to your attention and hopefully next year someone can go there to represent Paterson Public Schools. If you need to contact me you can do so through the PEA and I will give you the information regarding this. On my prior statements, I would like those allegations to be investigated and the outcome made public. Thank you very much. Ms. Robin Spencer: Good evening. Thank you again Rosa Parks for your wonderful selections. I have to say this before you leave simply because I'm an employee of Passaic County Tech. I'm always told that we get Paterson’s best students. I don’t know what memo you’re reading but those children were excellent and our band sounds nothing like Rosa Parks’ band. Our performing arts program, which I will probably get in trouble for saying, does not meet your curriculum. Dr. Glascoe: Your secret is safe with us. Ms. Spencer: My name is Robin and I'm an advocate for bettering education. After coming to several Board meetings I hear a lot of blame to you, Dr. Glascoe, and to the Board. I'm sorry that parents from the City of Paterson have decided to blame everyone else that has been a problem in our school district when I was a student at School 20. While my daughter was a student at School 20 I know she had a difficult time in math. I made several attempts to go and find out what the problem was and it was a lack of discipline. I have now paid $8,000 to clean up her basic skills from Sylvan Learning Center and could probably do a commercial. That was seven years ago. I cannot blame anyone who is currently an administrator for the problems that are going on in the Paterson School District. Parents are first teachers and I feel that the parents of Paterson should start making their children accountable. I'm a teacher. I'm a mother. I'm a single parent. I work three jobs. I don’t want to hear the woes of the people of Paterson. I'm a native of Paterson and I'm a product of Paterson. Our parents placed a value on education. We did not blame the school district for whatever we did not
Page 6 2/20/08
achieve. As long as the parents are blaming the administration and the teachers the problem will remain in Paterson. Thank you. Mr. Carlos Sanchez: (Spanish comments translated by Mr. Wilkin Santana) Good evening everyone. I have a concern to express and that is the reason I'm here. I have two daughters. One of them attends Eastside High School and my other daughter attends School 11. At School 11 they have three bilingual teachers. Two of them were transferred from 2nd to 3rd grade and from 6th to 7th grade. My daughter is in 7th grade and she does not speak English. The principal placed my daughter in a regular class and she does not understand because she only speaks Spanish. I want to have Ms. Lavell back with my daughter. I don’t understand how can you transfer the teacher in the middle of the year because the kids are about to finish the school year. My daughter tells me she is frustrated because she was doing fine but now she doesn’t understand anything. The principal has another student to help her out but that classmate can't help my daughter. I'm here tonight to see if you can help me out with that problem. Thank you very much and good night. Comm. Sayegh: Mr. Santana, can you direct him to Dr. Rush and facilitate the conversation please? Mr. Santana: I won't charge the district for my translation services. Comm. Sayegh: Thank you for your kind interpretation. I also want to remind all speakers to please state your full name along with your address so that if there is a need for us to follow up we can do so. Ms. Patricia McNeil: Good evening, Patricia McNeil, 38 North 3rd Street, Paterson, New Jersey. I want to thank Dr. Glascoe for the speed he took in responding to my letter I wrote to him. Thank you. I'm here tonight because I need to get a few concerns taken care of. I don’t know if it is legal but I need to know because an article came out in the Herald News today and it addressed the incidents of teacher abuse within the school. I want to know are there incidents of child abuse at Kennedy High School being reported to whoever it needs to be reported to. That’s all I want to know. Schoolwork and suspensions was brought up at the last meeting I attended here and that was in the Herald News also. One thing I want to bring to the Commissioners’ attention is the fact that when children are being suspended from this school it is very difficult for parents to get any schoolwork for these children. Sometimes parents have to come up here three or four times. A child has been suspended for a whole week before parents can get any type of schoolwork. I'm telling you from knowledge of parents who walk in here three or four times and they just can't get schoolwork. I don't know who is responsible for that and why it is happening. If these children are going to be suspended from schools someone should be responsible to make sure that these children have some type of work. The only thing these children are doing are running the street or sitting home watching television. For some of them the parents do care enough to make that child do work. If the parent can't get work the child won't do the work. I don't think it is fair to the parent or the child that these children can't get work. The last thing I want to speak on is I know they don’t have any money for cameras inside the schools but it is critical. I'm just asking if anyone out there hears me to please donate some money to the school system so they can get some cameras inside the schools. Comm. Sayegh: Thank you for your comments, Ms. McNeil. As far as your first question is concerned, I believe both Dr. Miller and Ms. Lyde are in the audience. If you want to address that to them, I believe they are the appropriate individuals.

Mr. De’Meir Rouse: My name is De’Meir Rouse and I go to School 13. I live at 665 E. 24th Street. Excuse me. I'm here speaking about the lunches at my school. I am thankful for them and many of the students are grateful. But some of the lunches are nasty. The hot dogs in specific are green. Secondly, I think that my school and other schools who don’t have lockers should have lockers. At least build them in the closets that way it won't be a disruption going around and also the students won't be doing any inappropriate things in the closets. Again on the lunches, my school has a home economics room and I don’t see why they can't use that to cook lunches or make lunches instead of getting disgusting lunches delivered to us. Also, I don’t know if this is any of your concern, but I feel that my teacher wrote an essay to the Herald News talking about how he couldn’t get into the game with Eastside versus another high school because of the space in the gym. But today an article was published about teachers being abused by other students. I feel that was disrespectful because my teacher wrote a nice essay that did not involve disrespectfulness towards the students or the teachers, but that article was published and that was disrespectful towards us students. Comm. Sayegh: Thank you, Mr. Rouse. I appreciate the courage you have shown and the confidence that you have in addressing the Board. We do see our Deputy Superintendent Dr. Rush. Can you please share what you have shared with him? Thank you. Ms. Nathalee Fairmon: Good evening everyone. My name is Nathalee Fairmon. My address is 665 E. 24th Street in Paterson. I am the parent of the young man that was just up here. I was also born and raised in Paterson. My question tonight is you have opened a cafe in Eastside High School and they were given no funds in order to work with. They had no food up until this month. How are they supposed to learn without the materials to learn with? They did not have any food. Nobody gave them any budget to shop with. What kind of grades were they receiving? How were they being graded when it is supposed to be a hands-on academy and they didn’t even have the materials to put their hands on? I understand that special education is a big budget. They get a lot of money for special education. I'm trying to understand why this school is not funded if it is an academy that is open for that specific purpose. Why weren’t they given the funds or at least the food to be able to work with? Can anybody give me an answer to that question? Comm. Sayegh: Ms. Fairmon, I'm going to ask that you speak to Deputy Superintendent Dr. Rush and if he is not able to address your question he will direct you to the appropriate administrator. Ms. Fairmon: I have one other question in regards to the late transfer of students in and out of classrooms. When we know that the tests are coming up soon now we have to work triple hard to try to get a student up to speed as with the other students because they just were transferred in. But when you have a child that is transferred in that doesn’t know A from B, how do you work that type of miracle? We’re not god. Mr. Kenneth Perkins: Good evening everyone. Kenneth Perkins, 6-2 Angela Place. My concern this afternoon is about the article in today’s paper. As an alumnus of Kennedy High School I don’t remember all this stuff going on in our school, at least not to the point where it made the paper. Being a native Patersonian I was kind of offended by that when I read the paper. I think it has something to do with the fear factor inside these schools where the children don’t fear any reprimands for their actions. Or maybe it has something to do with the teachers being too pacified by the union. I don't know. I'm not a teacher. I'm just trying to think of what is going on at Kennedy High School
Page 8 2/20/08
where so much is going on inside the school where it is now making the newspaper. I know every child in this school is not a perfect child because I know I wasn’t one. I wasn’t a student that got all As and Bs. I threw a couple of As in there but one thing I did is I feared my parents and my teachers. Once my teachers called my parents I knew I would feel the wrath. So maybe it is because our students don’t fear our teachers or the parents. That would be the reason why this is going on inside our schools. Also, I feel that maybe if teachers are afraid to take control of their classroom they are in the wrong profession. We have to maintain ourselves as adults and always keep order in our classrooms and not be afraid to reprimand a student that is acting out on any order. As some say, it may start with the administration that the administrator of this building doesn’t show his presence enough inside the classroom. I don't know. I don’t have a child that goes to Kennedy High School but I do have a son that is coming up and he is in the sixth grade now. I want my child to attend Kennedy High School the way I did. I want him to play sports because I want to pass the torch on to him. Later on in years he can say my father played football at this school and I played basketball. But now I'm kind of afraid that if the staff is afraid to control the school someone is going to get shot or stabbed in this building. I remember back in the 80s we had “Lean On Me” and all this other stuff going on at Eastside High School. I'm afraid that is going on at Kennedy. I don’t want my son carrying a gun to school just to protect himself or have to pull a knife or whatever. My time is up but I appreciate your time. Thank you. Mr. Charles A. Ferrer, Sr.: Good evening. I'm going to piggyback on Mr. Perkins and it’s really not about what the teachers are doing because the teachers are doing what they are supposed to be doing. In a lot of cases teachers’ hands are tied. As I have stated before, students start a fight and teachers are not to intervene. It’s against the law. We can tell them to stop but they don’t have to listen. Security seems to be getting their hands tied and with the policies that are in place we have a district policy on discipline. Profanity is unacceptable. It’s in the policy that to a certain level you can be suspended just from the words that you are using, but it is not being done. I hear at principals’ meetings they are being told to curtail suspensions. We have to keep that number down. So if the child curses the teacher out or the janitor or the security guard or a parent because they felt the need to and nothing is done, what are they going to do the next time? They are going to do the same thing because there are no consequences. When Mr. Perkins was coming up and when I was coming up we didn’t dare do the things to our teachers that children do now out of fear of not just the teacher at that time but out of fear of what got back to your house between the time you left school and the time you got home from the phone call or from anybody who saw you walking the streets doing something you were not supposed to be doing. If you were supposed to cross at the corner and you crossed in the middle of the block, then that was going to be a problem when you got home. Now there are no problems. You call parents and tell them Johnny didn’t have his homework or Johnny is in the playground from the time he gets out of school at 3:00 to 9:00 in the evening. What message do the parents send back to the school when the requests for parents to come in are ignored? It used to be a time that what was said by the teacher or the administrator was the law. Not anymore. Use the policies of zero tolerance and you won't have this mess. The principal at School 10 who had a rate of almost 76% suspension ratio said that if you don’t establish discipline you can't bring about instruction. How come it’s okay for her to suspend like that at School 10 but the other schools have to do it under an hourglass? It’s wrong. Mr. Fredrick Mutooni: Frederick Mutooni, 46 North 16th Street in Prospect Park. Let me just say three things here. A comment was made here about Zatiti Moody. I think this city has been blessed to have someone like Mr. Zatiti Moody. Mr. Zatiti Moody is the administrator of the only alternative high school we have in Paterson. Everybody
Page 9 2/20/08
should appreciate what he does. I think the major concern is not whether he is a principal or an administrator. The major concern is why is it that 97% of all the students at the Great Falls Academy are Blacks? That is a big issue to which we should pay attention, not whether he is a principal or not. Title does not matter. Let us appreciate what Mr. Zatiti Moody does. The other thing is that teachers complain through the media and that should be unacceptable. Every institution from Prospect Park, Elmwood Park, and everywhere face an order. The teachers have to speak either through their spokesperson or through the teachers’ union. For the teachers in JFK to call the press and address the press as if this school is a bodega is unacceptable. I'm going to ask the School Board to ask the school lawyer to look into this issue and to find out whether there are laws that were broken and to let these teachers stay away from our children. You don’t need to address the press. You know that. You need to grow up. We are parents. This is our school. It is not Columbine and it is not a bodega. Call the administrator and address this issue. The press is not our partners in educating our children. They are not and they will never be. We are parents. I'm a parent. I represent an organization called the Youth Rights Association in Passaic County. This is unacceptable. Every teacher who addresses the press I would like the school lawyer to look into this and if they find a law was broken let the teacher go. Go teach somebody else. You are highly qualified. Go. We don’t need you. Finally, to the School Board, please I recommend that you get involved with discipline matters. Any suspension that involves more than 10 days let the School Board get involved. Dr. Glascoe, bring the matter to the School Board and call them for an emergency meeting to address this issue. Let them talk to the parent. That goes on everywhere. We don’t want the School Board to be unaware. We don’t want the School Board to say we are not even aware of what’s going on. We elected these people and they sacrifice their time here for our children. So that is something Dr. Glascoe you have to put on board and you have to put the recommendation that any child that is suspended more than 10 days the parent has to appear before the School Board. Thank you. Comm. Sayegh: Mr. Santana, you’re not going to charge us for this are you? Mr. Wilkin Santana: Can I request five minutes? I want to speak on behalf of an organization. Comm. Sayegh: I'm sorry. Everyone has three minutes. Mr. Santana: Okay. Wilkin Santana, Paterson. First of all, I would like to thank the Superintendent for his service to the children and the people of Paterson. I would like to express my condolences. After reading the paper it’s unimaginable that a child would hit a teacher. If this is true, parents need to be more conscious about the actions of their children in school. It breaks my heart to hear that a teacher has to fear for their safety at work when they are supposed to be the second parents of these kids. I would like to know foreign language teachers just like any other teachers are required to have certain hours for professional development as mandated by statute. Almost all the world language teachers in the district were denied a conference for professional development hours that we require by the state. We don’t have a district World Language supervisor or director that will provide those professional development hours that we require. Annually the New Jersey Foreign Language Educators hold a conference that provides extensive professional development in Somerset. I applied and I was denied. How can I fulfill the state mandate for my professional development hours if I'm not even approved for this conference? It doesn’t make any sense. So I had to borrow money from a loan that I had to take for this sort of thing that shouldn’t be happening. No one should be denying professional development that is required to teachers. Also, I would like to say I contacted the US Department of Education in
Page 10 2/20/08
Washington and they are about to put up a grant…(end of tape) (Beginning of new tape)…to create a partnership between an institution of higher education such as William Paterson University and our district to create a thorough critical language program. We have $3 million that we can apply for a grant. I'm going to send information to the appropriate assistant superintendents and we need to apply for that grant so we can get that $3 million to Paterson so we can create a partnership with William Paterson University and Paterson Public Schools. Comm. Sayegh: Thank you, Mr. Santana, and I ask that you address what you have just told us to Dr. Rush. Mr. Santana: I’ll send the information and that critical language is Arabic. That is going to give us money and that is going to make the World Language program in the district superb. Comm. Sayegh: Is there a motion to close the public portion? It was moved by Comm. Hodges, seconded by Comm. Taylor that the Public Comments portion of the meeting be closed. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried. BOARD MEMBER RESPONSES Comm. Sayegh: Does any Board member care to comment on anything mentioned during the public portion? Comm. Hodges: I would. I’ve listened very carefully to the concerns of the public and I, too, am troubled by the article in today’s paper on a number of levels. I don’t think there’s any one entity responsible for what is going on with the problems in our school district. I think we are all responsible. When you find yourself in the position that you can point your finger at somebody else, then that is a good indication of where the problem is beginning. I don’t expect anyone to work in unsafe conditions. I don’t expect people to be afraid to come to work. I don’t expect people to have to endure being assaulted, whether they be teachers or students, but I think we have to all start to take a look at each other, primarily at ourselves. When those students are coming into classrooms late after the bell has rung and you do nothing about it as a teacher then you are telling that child that it’s okay, that there aren’t any rules that have to be respected. When you are passing a student in the hallway with the earphones or the telephone and you say nothing about it but the other teacher down the hall does then that inconsistency gives the students the okay to keep on testing to see where those weaknesses are in the rules. But a parent said it so well here. Parents are the first teacher. These are your children. We don’t have the ability to do some of the things that we used to be able to do when we were going to school to straighten out some of this nonsense. But you have the ability before that child leaves your door to instill in them the best understanding of why they are coming to school. If you fail to do that then it’s hard to understand how you can come and point your finger at somebody else for saying, “Look, you are not taking care of my child.” Let's be clear it’s a small percentage of the children who are engaged in this behavior problem. But these are all our children and we have to start to have some conversations about what’s truly important in going to school. What is the point? If we are not as a community making it clear that education is valued and important and the educators and adults in this system are to be respected and if you as the parent don’t model that behavior it’s hard to understand how the children are going to. Let me further say it’s not just parents. There’s a teacher that I am aware of who has told a child perhaps innocently that Ds are
Page 11 2/20/08
passing. Do you know what that child did? The child said, “That’s what I need to do then.” So he went from a B student down to a D. That is what the child is going to do. A child is going to be a child. The teacher set that tone perhaps innocently and perhaps trying to bolster their so-called self-esteem. But those are the types of small mistakes that can be made perhaps innocently which can do some serious damage. When you are sitting in the classroom harping about the block schedules and how unhappy you are, and about how things are intolerable, don’t think that doesn’t get relayed and transmitted to the young minds under your charge. I have seen that go on here too. So you send letters and things to the press and that is fine. And you talk about how dangerous it is. That is also fine. But you are going to create for yourself a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are telling people just how dangerous it is and some of those kids are going to live up to the expectations that you have just created. I hope to god I'm wrong but I have been sitting here a long time and I have watched people mishandle the educational process on every level in this school district, from the parents on up. So it’s time that we all come together and try to find a way to find some of the solutions instead of simply pointing the finger at somebody else. Thank you, Mr. President. Comm. Muhammad: Let me first start off by thanking the young man that was here tonight and to thank your parent because it proves to us that we have parents who are doing the right thing for their children. Young man, don’t stop talking. Remember whatever it is that is happening you have the right and you deserve the best. So don’t stop letting your voice be a voice for those children who might not have the courage that you had to come here tonight. But continue to do that because you deserve the best lunch there is. And if you ever get a green hot dog or any other thing that is green and is not supposed to be then you let someone know that. Continue to do what you are doing for yourself and your fellow students. As far as Kennedy High School goes, I was really upset too when I saw the article. As all things we know the truth lies between the pages. So I'm going to wait before I pass judgment on what I read because I'm confident that these administrators over our buildings have not only the ability but also the confidence to do what is right for our children. But I'm going to tell you if I know of a student who has attacked a teacher the way that a teacher said they were attacked I'm not going for a suspension. I'm not thinking about a suspension because that is a criminal act and no one should be fearful or even thinking that they can come into a building and be attacked by anybody. So I'm not even going to think about just telling your child that they are going to go home for a few days. Rest assured of that. To you, Mr. Santana, I think we all better look at the funding that is going to go on in this district. You might have been denied to go to a workshop but guess what? There is going to be a lot of other things you are going to be denied with the new funding that is coming down now. So I think it would be wise for all of us to start to say to those people who are in charge of those funds that we are not going to accept certain things. But rest assured that is just the beginning of what is going to happen. So take a picture of what you have right now because guess what? Next year you will not. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Comm. Sayegh: Are there any other Commissioners that care to comment? Comm. Taylor: I was told about the article by someone at a funeral today. I have been at funerals all day so I have not really been able to read the paper. But I'm saying that in all schools the principal and the people who are vice-principals and all the people who are in the schools if you have young people who are violating the policies and the rules of the schools, if they have to be suspended, they have to be suspended. There are two ways of suspension and you have to plan this. Parents have to come out and participate in the planning of how it will happen because we don’t want to put children out of school. Mr. Ferrer, if a child curses I've been here quite often in the halls of this
Page 12 2/20/08
school and in public and all over the place and all I hear is cursing, cursing, and cursing. So I don't know how our children know how to speak English without every other word being a curse word. We need to get together as a community and try to fix out this policy. If I hear the cursing, and it is violent cursing, or what kind of cursing is it, when is it happening, to whom, and with whom. All kinds of questions have to be asked. Parents have to come in on this because I hear parents cursing too. Then they see who I am and they stop and say, “Excuse me, Ms. Taylor.” I say, “Okay. Just watch how you use your language and who you are using your language around because children will use that language when they are not around you.” But going back to the buildings, if we have young people and children violating the rules and policies of the schools then we should have a school rule that everybody in the building knows what it is and every teacher in the building should know that if a child is suspended three days that child needs work. If the child is suspended five days that child needs work. Don’t have the parent come back and forth to the school to get the work. The work should be ready for the child when the child leaves. I know because I have done it. I got the child’s work ready for the child to go home. I also told my children if we see you on the street you will get some more time because this is suspension in your home and your mother and father are in charge of you when you leave our buildings and they are liable for you. You have broken the rules. If we don’t find some kind of consequences for children breaking rules we will never get order and learning the way it should be. This community has to come together because we have a whole lot of cursing folks out here from the little child to the old person with the cane. So let me tell you we need to get together as a community and try to work on this because I do see in the suspension cursing and where the children are fighting and bullying. I see all kinds of reasons and sometimes I don’t see the real reason when the suspension is happening. So as a Board member I really don’t know what it is. So I'm saying that if a principal knows that someone is bullying children and breaking rules in a building they better stand up tall and say this child cannot stay in this building because the rest of my children can't learn when the child is here. You’ve got to do that. You’ve got to stand up for that. Parents in the neighborhoods have to understand what we are trying to do. We are trying to keep order and we are trying to get children so they can learn their lessons. There’s more to what the parents were asking us. We will try to get the information for Ms. Long. Ms. Spencer, I understood what you said. We should stop blaming each other and get down to really working with children. Mr. Sanchez, I hope you have your answers. If you don’t, call Dr. Glascoe’s office again and see whomever you have to see. I saw Ms. Simon coming to your aid so please work with her. If she can't answer you then call again. Patricia, I'm going to try and work on getting some cameras for the schools. If we need to get a grant, if we need to find a millionaire who will do it for the schools in Paterson we will have to do that in every nook and cranny in these buildings. I understood what the young man said. You might not have heard him but he said children are doing things they should not be doing in the closets. Do you understand that? So that is another message to us. That will be another scandal if we don’t handle it. That child knows about it. We’ve got to make sure we work on that. If a teacher says, “I did not know that was going on,” you now know what is going on. Now we are going to have to do something about it. The President, myself and a couple of other people worked on the lunch program when the state sent us a new law two years ago about nutrition. We have been talking and talking. The first big problem was that the nutrition department or the food service had a big bill. They did not collect all those papers that gave us qualifications to receive monies to the district. They did not have $4 million. They did not have those papers when the state came around. So we had $4 million that they had to take out of the regular budget. Some of you did not get books, papers, and supplies. That is the reason, because we took $4 million out of the regular budget to do that. So understand that. That’s why we don’t have the cameras either. I don't know yet. Mr. Perkins, I know you graduated from Kennedy and you were a good
Page 13 2/20/08
person and you are trying to raise your children the same way. There are many people in this district doing the same thing. Charles, you are doing the same thing. But unless someone is going to recognize what has to happen with children in the classroom we are just blowing wind at each other. We’ve got to commit to do the things that would cause children to be in the schools in the right way. Wilkin, I don’t know why you were denied. Maybe you needed to be in a classroom. I don't know why you were denied the conference and whether or not we had any kind of conference money left. We might have been out of money. That’s another issue. Some of these conferences we can't go to because we have no money. So we need to know that your belt has to be tightened. When they told us we could not have some more food in the back I said, “Okay. I’ll eat my food before I come here.” When they told us we could not go to a conference and they would only give us ‘X’ amount of dollars to have a breakfast or a lunch. It was $5 for a breakfast, $7 for a lunch, and $7 for a dinner. Check it. Where do you go to a restaurant and get a dinner for $7? Usually around the places where we have the conferences there is not a McDonald’s, a Wendy’s, or a Burger King. I get a salad when I go there. But those places are not near the conference areas where we go and the dinners are much more expensive. We are volunteer people and we don’t get paid. We try to work out what we can for the teachers, for the children, and for the parents. We try. This Board tries. We are all on different kinds of committees and I appreciate the parents and the students coming and talking to us. We’ll have more things to talk about when we get together and do it in the right way for all of you. Thank you, Mr. President. Comm. Sayegh: Is there any other Commissioner who cares to comment?

Comm. Atallo: I had received some inquires from some community people and parents regarding A-1 and the Memorandum of Understanding between the district and Stupski for 2007-2008. It is my understanding that Stupski had left the district. I wasn’t able to explain to them and maybe it can be clarified to me tonight through the administration why it says 2007-2008 when it is already the end of February 2008. Why are we doing this now? Comm. Sayegh: Are you directing that to the Superintendent? Comm. Atallo: I guess that would be the appropriate official. Dr. Glascoe: I’ll address that. If you are talking specifically to A-1 and the $85,000 that was… Comm. Sayegh: Excuse me, Dr. Glascoe. I’d ask that anyone leaving do so quietly. I'm referring to the individuals in the back please, if you can take your conversations outside. Thank you. Dr. Glascoe: This was a situation where Stupski under the leadership of the Superintendent in Residence Dr. Ron Epps looked at the work that we had started with School Stat and offered to assist us with additional training to the tune of $85,000 and certainly we accepted. So this is Stupski going a little bit above and beyond their usual process because for all intents and purposes their time in Paterson has ended. Plus Stupski is going through a major reorganization. Comm. Atallo: Thank you. Comm. Sayegh: Are there any further questions on items A-1 through A-43? On roll call all members voted as follows: Comm. Atallo: I vote yes on all with the exception of A-7. I'm abstaining. I'm not clear on what happened with that at the workshop. On A-9 and A-41, I'm going to abstain because I serve on the Board of Directors at the YMCA and this deals with the YMCA. Comm. Hodges: I'm abstaining on A-9 due to the fact that I'm on the YMCA’s Board. I vote yes on everything else. I apologize - A-41 as well. Comm. Inoa: I vote yes on A-1 through A-43. Comm. Muhammad: Yes. Comm. Spagnola: I vote yes on all and abstain on A-7. Comm. Taylor: Yes. Comm. Sayegh: Yes. The motion carried. FISCAL COMMITTEE Comm.

Comm. Atallo: On C-2, I know we had discussed this at the workshop. I think we need to clarify for the public because I was asked by two members of the public. The last part of the resolutions says, “A new administrative location.” I think we need to be more specific as to what we are doing. As I stated at the workshop, and I want to state very briefly now, this money is money we did not use for capital projects. It’s in the capital project account. I stated it at the workshop and I will just summarize. I believe this
Page 49 2/20/08
money should be used on our current school buildings that need work. There are some schools where the heating does not work properly and we should use the money for that. There are some schools that don’t have air conditioning. Again, we live in an era where schools are now used year-round. It’s not just the last week of June and the first week of September we have to deal with very hot weather. Now schools are open with summer programs. So I think we should look into putting that money into capital projects to make sure we have adequate heating units in our schools and we should look at putting air conditioning in our schools that don’t have it. We use the schools year-round and some of those windows you can't even open. It gets quite hot in those buildings during those weeks. So can we get a clarification on the new administrative location? Comm. Taylor: Ms. Finkelstein? I see in this one that it says the funds will be appropriated to the 2007-2008 debt service balance sheet account, state unemployment, and new administrative location. Ms. Finkelstein: This came up as an audit finding and the transfer is in response to the audit finding. I'm going to defer to Mark Kramer to give the technical side of the spending issue. Comm. Taylor: Mark, the technical side? Mr. Kramer: The way that the facility construction act reads right now the district cannot on its own spend money on school buildings. It requires us to go through the School Development Authority. As we know they don’t have money now but the law is very specific. We have to go through them to have our schools worked on. The money cannot be allocated to those types of funds. The law, believe it or not, forbids it from happening. The only thing that we can spend money on because the state does not fund it through the facilities act is administrative type buildings, which this is. So I don’t think the money is able to be used for boilers, heating, renovations, health and safety. It’s got to come through the SDA. Comm. Hodges: In addition to that, if this new administrative site materializes we will in effect be able to save millions of dollars a year in rental and lease fees. So that one shift will help us appreciate a return of millions every year. So there is a double-sided advantage to having this project move forward. Comm. Atallo: With all due respect, I review the numbers and mathematically I don’t see a savings of millions. In fact, I see additional expenditures. But I think what we need to do is prioritize our money. When I get everybody’s attention I’ll continue. Comm. Taylor: You’re kidding me. Comm. Atallo: I learned that from you. Comm. Taylor: The way you walk around? Comm. Atallo: I was growing old listening to your soliloquy. But we have a commitment to downtown and revitalization. We also have a commitment to making sure we spend our money in an expedient and a way that is best used. Our funding should go into education. We are in the business of educating Paterson children and part of the education process is making sure the school buildings are safe, secure, and adequate. We have had discussions tonight. There was a front-page story in today’s paper. I was watching the news tonight about one of our high schools. Safety is a concern. We
Page 50 2/20/08
need to make sure the building is educationally conducive to a sound learning environment. Many of the schools don’t have adequate heating and most of them do not have air conditioning. So when we have this type of money that has been sitting in an account for capital projects, which is what those dollars are dedicated for, I think we can make a very good argument to the State of New Jersey that since the dollars are already there and we are not asking them for new money but the dollars already exist in our accounts, instead of transferring to this area I respectfully recommend as one option to consider putting it into the schools for our children where it really belongs. That is my concern, as opposed to building a very massive complex with central office in a part of the city that is away from the downtown area where people can come by mass transportation and very close to other governmental entities. We have the police department, the health department, the courts, and City Hall. All the agencies of the city tend to be centered in the downtown area within easy walking distance of the Board of Education. So there is a clear logic, I believe, to what I'm saying, that our building should be close to those other entities and agencies that we deal with. Also for the community we serve when people come downtown it’s a one-stop shopping where everything is there downtown for them. Comm. Taylor: Thank you. Comm. Atallo: Please, as long as you went. As opposed to putting this central office entity at the end of a city that is away from the central… Comm. Taylor: That was the comment section where I was talking. Comm. Atallo: And I'm commenting now. Comm. Taylor: You’ve had three times already for the comment that you’re making now and I'm going to refer back to Mr. Kramer again because he is repeating that again and you are saying, “The law says.” Comm. Atallo: The law says we can use it for capital projects. How we use it… Mr. Kramer: Correct. I just wanted to add one thing to my comment and that is that there is going to be a presentation at the next Board workshop on March 5 where a presentation is going to be provided to the Board and there will be a lot more information that is provided at that time. Comm. Taylor: Yes. I would just like to remind the Board that we were instructed that we should all have a turn at talking and only revert back to our Commissioners that would like to have something else to say. Is there anyone else who has any comment at this time? If not, Dr. Hodges. Comm. Hodges: Dr. Atallo, you yourself… Comm. Taylor: Dr. Hodges, please do not talk to him. Talk to the whole Board, please. Just refer to any facts that he has. Comm. Atallo: Do you wish to cross-examine me? Comm. Taylor: No. That’s what I don’t want to happen. Comm. Atallo: Would you like to ask me a question?
Page 51 2/20/08
Comm. Taylor: No. Comm. Hodges: A Board member was down at the City Council meeting complaining about the conditions of one of the buildings that we can now replace. They were complaining about the rats and the infestation. Someone who looked just like one of these Board members up here sitting next to me. Now, this money would help alleviate the very problem that this Board member was down in front of the City Council complaining about. It would also consolidate a number of substandard sites throughout the city where our staff is housed. This would facilitate improved supervision, saving on parking, saving on the cost of a building, and possibly giving us room for another preschool or some other school. So there are a lot of options, which this money could help us perform. Comm. Taylor: Dr. Hodges, Mr. Kramer has reminded us that we have full opportunity on March 5 to really talk about this at our workshop. And the public is invited. Comm. Hodges: Ms. Taylor, the public doesn’t come to the workshops. If these questions are not put before them then they will leave with the misimpressions that were created during the meeting. That is why some of these things have to be addressed at this particular point in time. I do appreciate what you are trying to do but when they walk away with half the story then the confusion will reign. I just wanted to make it very clear what is going on. Comm. Taylor: Thank you very much. Are there any other of the articles in fiscal? Is there any other discussion? Could you please name the number for us? Which number? Comm. Atallo: On the last one let me briefly respond to Dr. Hodges by saying this. I did speak at the Council meeting regarding the rodents in that one building, the four-legged ones and the two-legged ones. Comm. Taylor: Dr. Atallo… Comm. Atallo: However, let me state this. Comm. Taylor: Is this C-25? Comm. Atallo: I'm responding to Dr. Hodges’ comments. You can't get half the story, Ms. Taylor. Comm. Taylor: You cannot respond to him. Comm. Atallo: Sure you can. Comm. Taylor: No response. Comm. Atallo: You can't get half the story. You have to get the full story. Comm. Taylor: Then it becomes a dialogue. Comm. Atallo: We are not going to have a dialogue. Comm. Taylor: It’s not a dialogue.
Page 52 2/20/08
Comm. Atallo: I'm saying we should clean up the rodent problem. That’s the problem. If you want to abandon the building you can abandon the building, but the problem should address the infestation. Comm. Taylor: Are you the Commissioner he was talking about that went and complained about the rats and the mice and all that other stuff? Comm. Atallo: Yes. If you watched the Council meetings you would see me. Comm. Taylor: That is something we can discuss at another time. Comm. Atallo: I agree with you, at the March 5 meeting. Comm. Taylor: That is a city problem. That is an administrative problem. It is a city administrative problem. That is not ours. Comm. Atallo: It’s a joint problem. We rent the building and it becomes our problem when we lease the building. Comm. Taylor: Alright. Comm. Atallo: I'm not going to argue on the legality of it. All I'm saying is let's clean up the problem so the staff that uses the building is in a safe environment. That’s all I'm saying. Let's move on and discuss it March 5. Comm. Taylor: And that is what we are trying to get, a safe environment. Did you say C-25? Comm. Atallo: No. Comm. Sayegh: I believe Comm. Spagnola was looking to get recognized. Comm. Spagnola: I believe on March 5 there’s going to be a special meeting. There’s going to be a presentation. I would request that it be videotaped if we can possible do it so we can play it over the channel. It’s going to be a big step and I hope all the questions will be answered that night and we can go forward. So why don’t we just leave it alone until March 5 and we’ll have something to look forward to. How is that? Comm. Taylor: Sounds good to me. Is there anything else? On roll call all members voted as follows: Comm. Atallo: I vote yes on all of them with the exception of no on C-1, and I abstain on C-2. Comm. Hodges: I vote yes for all, except for any portion of C-1 that involves the Paterson YMCA. Comm. Inoa: Yes. Comm. Muhammad: Yes. Comm. Spagnola: Yes.
Page 53 2/20/08
Comm. Taylor: Yes. Comm. Sayegh: Yes. The motion carried. POLICY COMMITTEE Comm. Muhammad: Let me start off by thanking all of those committee chairs that went to bat to help us complete our policies and non-mandated bylaws, Commissioners Hodges, Kerr, Sayegh, Spagnola, and Taylor. Thank you so much for your due diligence to make sure that we get this done. Tonight we have 50 policies that are on the list being presented tonight for first reading. But policy 5440 that was on the original list was revised and adopted at the January 2008 regular meeting. Therefore, it will not appear for adoption on this list. As you know, policy 067, which is the public participation policy, we have really taken back this policy and did some real deep discussions. We have made some revisions and it is before you tonight for a first reading. 50 of these non-mandated policies out of the 84 the Board moves and we will do the comments from the public at our March 5 workshop meeting. So if you need to get a copy of those policies it is to my right on the table tonight so you will be able to ask your questions at our March 5 meeting. Also, the Board can still make changes before the final adoption, which is expected to be at our March regular meeting. The administration is also doing revisions and may recommend additional changes prior to adoption. One of the mandated policies 8601 remains incomplete. We are waiting for the administration to forward the policy to the Board for adoption. We are working diligently to complete the remaining non-mandated policies for the adoption in the near future. This concludes my report. Motion for a first reading please. Comm. Muhammad reported that the Policy Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution No. E-1:
Resolution No. E-1
WHEREAS, the Paterson Board of Education Policy Manual receives periodic revisions and additions; and WHEREAS, the policy committee and committee chairpersons have reviewed non-mandated bylaws and policies for submission to the Board for first reading; and WHEREAS, the policy committee has revised policies for first reading; and WHEREAS, a special public comment session will be held at the March 5, 2008, workshop meeting; now therefore BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Education approves the following policies for first reading: 0167 Public Participation in Board Meetings 2435 NJSIAA Random Testing for Interscholastic Athletic 2480 Alternative Education Programs 3111 Creating Positions 3124 Employment Contract 3141 Resignation 3142 Non-renewal of Non-tenured Teaching Staff Member

Page 55 2/20/08
It was moved by Comm. Spagnola, seconded by Comm. Sayegh that Resolution No. E-1 be adopted. Comm. Atallo: I read these policies and with the exception of policy 5308 I'm confused. This is a legal question and maybe we can defer to the attorney. “The Board of Education will indemnify,” “The Board of Education will admit to the district children otherwise,” “The Board of Education requires people to be in attendance.” These look like boilerplate policies for a district that would be under local control. This is my question. Since we are a state-operated district wouldn’t the appropriate wording be “The school district shall,” as opposed to “The Board of Education?” I think that would be a legal question. I would refer that to the Board attorney because we are a state-operated district and we don’t have the statutory authority. We can adopt policies but I don’t know if there are any legal teeth to it. When it says “The Board of Education shall appoint at least one of this” or “The Board of Education recognizes,” I’m making the point I don’t think we have the statutory authority. Comm. Muhammad: You have asked that and I will refer to legal. Comm. Atallo: It may be more appropriate to say, “The Paterson School District shall.” Comm. Sayegh: Comm. Muhammad, I believe that we are directed to do that through NJQSAC. Comm. Muhammad: Right. Absolutely. Mr. Attorney, do you want to say anything? Mr. Tabenkin: The Board President beat me to it. Comm. Muhammad: Thank you. Great. Comm. Hodges: I just wanted to underscore that point. The key phraseology was you should act as if you were a real Board, which we have been doing for quite some time. That is another story but we will accept their final approval of it. Comm. Muhammad: Thank you very much. We will continue. Does anyone else want to speak on these policies? Any other Board member? Comm. Atallo: I’d like to speak. Comm. Muhammad: You’re going to speak the last time, Dr. Atallo? Comm. Atallo: I just want to go on record as saying we can adopt any policies we want… Comm. Muhammad: You are on record for saying that. I don’t think we need to belabor the point. Comm. Atallo: Please don’t be rude. Let me finish my point. Comm. Muhammad: I don't think we need to belabor the point. You have made that point. We understand that. Comm. Atallo: Ms. Muhammad, you can pass a policy declaring war on Canada but it has no legal teeth.
Page 56 2/20/08
Comm. Muhammad: And we are still going to do that. We are going to move on. Roll call. Comm. Atallo: These policies make no sense the way they are now. On roll call all members voted as follows: Comm. Atallo: I vote no. They are improperly written. Comm. Hodges: Yes. Comm. Inoa: Yes. Comm. Muhammad: Yes. Comm. Spagnola: Yes. Comm. Taylor: Yes. Comm. Sayegh: Yes. The motion carried. Items Requiring Acknowledgment of Review and Comments PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Comm. Taylor reported that the Personnel Committee met, reviewed and recommends approval for Resolution No. F-1:

It was moved by Comm. Taylor, seconded by Comm. Sayegh that Resolution No. F-1 be adopted. Comm. Taylor: I’m asking for the adoption of F-1. We had a meeting with the Human Resources Department. We met with Mr. Rojas and at the time they were discussing the health insurance, which the window of opportunity ended on February 15. I was told that every school had someone explain the new insurance policy that the state is requiring us to be involved in. Every school and every teacher was given an opportunity. The PEA had a meeting here at Kennedy to explain it as well and our Human Resources Department was available. Our Human Resources Department is on call so teachers can find out about it. We reviewed the personnel recommendations and also the transfers, resignations, terminations, new hires, and potential personnel. I'm asking that you vote at this time. On roll call all members voted as follows: Comm. Atallo: Since we have no input into it there’s no point in voting. I abstain. Comm. Hodges: Pass. Comm. Inoa: Yes. Comm. Muhammad: Yes. Comm. Spagnola: Yes. Comm. Taylor: Yes. Comm. Hodges: Yes. Comm. Sayegh: Yes. The motion carried. OTHER BUSINESS Comm. Atallo: I have concerns I want to raise. I'm reading the state monitor’s monthly report and everybody has a copy before them. If you look on page 4 the district has committed itself to a $600,000 investment on an assessment tool called Performance Matters. If you skip down to the third paragraph it says, “Although all of the goods and services on the purchase order for Performance Matters in excess of $240,000 have not
Page 115 2/20/08
been provided or received by the district the district paid the full amount of the purchase order last November. The administration is looking into this matter.” Can we get a report tonight on what the status is? Comm. Sayegh: Are you directing your remarks to the Superintendent? Comm. Atallo: Through the chair to the Superintendent. Dr. Glascoe: I'm sorry. I didn’t know this was a two-way conversation. Comm. Atallo: I’ll repeat it. On page 4 of the state monitor’s report under Roman numeral V it says, “The district has committed itself to a $600,000 investment on an assessment tool called Performance Matters.” If you skip to the third paragraph it says in the report, “Although all the goods and services on the purchase order for Performance Matters in excess of $240,000 have not been provided or received by the district the district paid the full amount of the purchase order last November. The administration is currently looking into the matter.” Can we get an update or report on that? Dr. Glascoe: I’ll defer to Mr. Kramer. That was his report. I guess that was the last report. There have been some things happening since then. Comm. Atallo: Also, at the last meeting I asked for timelines and benchmarks on when and if we are going to implement this program. When do we anticipate getting those timelines and benchmarks? Mr. Kramer: The administration is still looking into the issue that caused the alleged early payment. The investigation is not completed. Once it is done we will be able to make a determination. Comm. Atallo: When do we anticipate getting that investigation completed? Mr. Kramer: I would think within four weeks it would be concluded. I'm not sure if it will be done by the end of this month, so I don't think I will have an opportunity to put it in my February monthly report. But I believe some time early March we should have some type of result into this matter. Comm. Atallo: I look forward to getting that. On page 5, Roman numeral XI, the administration has identified legal services for Saul Ewing, Limited Liability Partnership. It has been rendered between the time period of April 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 in an amount of $150,000 that was not encumbered in a timely manner, did not have a written contract with the district, and has not yet been approved via Board resolution. Can we get a report on why that happened? Comm. Sayegh: We will get a response and then we will move on to Comm. Hodges. Comm. Atallo: I have more questions. Comm. Sayegh: You can address them afterwards, sir. Comm. Atallo: No. We will address them right now, Mr. Sayegh. Comm. Sayegh: I'm sorry, sir. Everyone has three minutes. Point of order. Everyone, including members of the general public, have three minutes.
Page 116 2/20/08
Comm. Atallo: We’re not going to do that. There are serious questions here and I would like to get an answer on my question. Comm. Sayegh: I'm sorry. You will receive an answer and then we will proceed. Comm. Atallo: Andre, you look like a fool. Comm. Sayegh: I'm sorry, sir. We will proceed. Comm. Atallo: I have more questions. Comm. Sayegh: Your questions will be answered offline. Everyone has three minutes. Comm. Atallo: Let me finish for now. Comm. Sayegh: You are done and you will get a response from Mr. Kramer. Comm. Atallo: We just spent $150,000 without a written contract and without a Board resolution. Comm. Sayegh: Point of order, Comm. Atallo. Comm. Atallo: You have no intellectual curiosity. Comm. Sayegh: Point of order. You will get your response and then we will proceed to the next Board member. Thank you. Comm. Atallo: When? Comm. Hodges: Mr. President, point of order. If Dr. Atallo will submit his questions in writing to the Superintendent and to the Board then we can as a Board ensure that all of those questions are answered appropriately. Comm. Sayegh: I think that is an appropriate suggestion. Comm. Atallo: I don’t think so because then the public does not hear what is going on. Comm. Sayegh: We will have it in the record. Is there a response to the inquiry? Okay. You will get back to him. Comm. Atallo: You’ll get back to me? When will you get back to me? Comm. Sayegh: Comm. Hodges is being recognized. You have three minutes. *Comm. Kerr enters the meeting at 8:50 p.m. Comm. Atallo: When will I get an answer on that? Comm. Sayegh: We can discuss that afterwards. Comm. Atallo: You’re such a little lap dog, André.
Page 117 2/20/08
Comm. Taylor: We were told in our ethics training that we should not insult each other and I don’t want to hear that again. Don’t you put that mark on anybody! Don’t do it again! Comm. Atallo: The truth is my defense. Comm. Sayegh: Point of order. Comm. Hodges has been recognized. Comm. Taylor: You’re insulting to us. Comm. Atallo: You’re not protecting the public’s interest. Comm. Hodges: What is insulting to the public is to sit here and watch this unnecessary interplay. We are supposed to be reasoned adults and we can have disagreements without being so extraordinarily disagreeable, and I might add borderline childish. There are some significant points, which should be answered, and the opportunity to do that can occur on a number of different places. We don’t have to use this back and forth because it doesn’t change what is going to happen. It only serves to cause the Board to be looked on most unfavorably. I guess the only other thing I would say is I toured International High School today and School 24. I will say to the Paterson community that these are two very nice looking structures. I sincerely hope that we can do what we have to do to prepare ourselves to occupy them in the most appropriate fashion and that the students take full advantage of the opportunity that they have in both of those buildings. I also am very concerned about the article in the paper regarding Kennedy. I'm not going to cast aspersions on the effort that was taken to transmit those voluminous documents to the press. I’ll simply say that I wish as much effort were put into solving the problems as they are in making sure that they are publicized. I also hope that parents will take a little closer look at what their own children are doing and their own responsibilities so that we can work together to address some of the issues. And I'm not leaving the administrators and teachers out of that package. Comm. Inoa: I just want to start by saying that it is very sad the situation that happened respecting the Board member but also the public as well. I believe we are here to work together and communicate with each other for the future of the district of Paterson. It is very sad. I just want to say something about the school uniforms. I'm a proud parent of three Paterson Public School students and I'm a strong supporter of school uniforms. When I was a student in the Dominican Republic I wore a uniform. It really improved the discipline and helped students focus on their studies. Perhaps we should have uniforms at John F. Kennedy. It might alleviate most of the issues that exist. I know Comm. Sayegh as a President has been fighting very hard for many years and I would like to suggest that we have a Board forum to deal with that issue. When I said wearing uniforms gives discipline to the kids there is a fact that with the situation going on lately it is kind of hard for parents to buy new clothes every two or three weeks for the students to come to school. In fact, most of the parents are poor and I believe the uniforms come to alleviate the situation between the students. I really support you, Mr. President, on that issue to try to get uniforms to most of the schools. So as I mentioned before, we as member of the Board are supposed to send a right message, not the wrong message that we are sending lately. It is very sad that situation is happening. Comm. Kerr: Let me apologize for not being here earlier. I had some issues that I had to deal with. I do apologize for not being part of the meeting. Mr. President, I just would like to say briefly that we are having serious problems with the way we deal with each other as Board members. This is a School Board and what we do here reflects in a
Page 118 2/20/08
broader way on the kids that we represent. So let me just here ask all the Board members to be a little more respectful in our dealings with each other. Our children are watching and what we display here in terms of behavior is unbecoming. Mr. President, I am going to defer the rest of my time. Comm. Sayegh: Thank you, Comm. Kerr. We are glad that you are here. Comm. Taylor: I’d like to ask Mr. Kramer. Some of these items that you have in your report, were they discovered by the audit? For instance, number 5. Mr. Kramer: I do not believe so. Comm. Taylor: Okay. I did not get this in my mailing. Is there a reason? I did not receive it at home. Mr. Kramer: I confirmed this morning that it was sent out on Friday to all Board members. All I can say is that I did confirm that. Comm. Taylor: I picked it up on the table over there and I would advise the public to pick it up and look at it. I appreciate that you did come to our Board Forward the other night and that was good for you to be with us so that you could see how we try to do the work of the district because you are our monitor. I would like you to also come with us to the fiscal meetings that we have. Do some planning and be there with us for the fiscal because we ask a lot of questions. Mr. Kramer: If you are asking for me to help out in doing something at the meeting I would be more than happy to know what it’s about and I’d show up to the meeting. Comm. Taylor: What happens at the fiscal meeting usually Dr. Atallo asks a lot of questions and sometimes Fran answers them and she has a notebook where she takes down 20-30 questions that we have. During that time she will then email me and Errol because Dr. Atallo does not have email. So she emails Mr. Kerr and me and we see…(end of tape) (Beginning of new tape)…unless Fran gives him a hard copy or talks to him before a Board meeting. I think that if you are there then she does not have to go to you and ask you certain things about the budget or about certain pieces of information of ordering and why we did this and did that and why are we doing this with this company when this company was not supposed to be bought from anymore. Dr. Atallo asks questions like that at our meeting and we ask the questions, too. Maybe when you are there you can advise us. Mr. Kramer: I would be more than happy to work something out with Fran to schedule for me to attend. Comm. Taylor: I think you should be with us because there are so many questions. I do hear how Dr. Atallo has a passion for these questions so you need to be there so he can converse with you and us so we can get the facts straight. Mr. Kramer: You want me to experience it? Comm. Taylor: I'm serious. Mr. Kramer: I'm being serious, too. You want me to experience it.
Page 119 2/20/08
Comm. Taylor: We want to get the facts straight and I don’t want to have this in public. Thank you. Comm. Spagnola: We all agree he does have a passion to get to the bottom of things. But as we stand right now I will just address one point that was number 24 in your report. Specifically, it was 139 unauthorized purchases identified by administration at the beginning of December. Evidently the administration is in-house. Each of these requisitions had been reviewed and approved until the review of school business administrator. A meeting took place in December to discuss this matter and provide guidance in writing to assist in alleviating the problem. Corrective action has been implemented and its progress will be reviewed by the administration. So I can understand the point where you would have a question. If you would read that I think anyone would have a question. In fact, all of us at this table had the question. I got the answer from Mark here. It’s specifically at the games where you would have to go and get umpires and doctors and whatever. The coaches were actually soliciting for this? Mr. Kramer: I'm not sure exactly who did the soliciting, but the referees that show up to the games and others would be hired by the district without having purchase orders to cover. Comm. Spagnola: A lot of times these games are not scheduled. They could be playoffs or games that were cancelled and brought on. So it would have to be a blanket purchase order. Perhaps if we did a blanket purchase order for all the games that are scheduled and for all the officials that have to be hired out of place and out of district then these people would be covered on a single blanket purchase order for their professional services. Would that be a way to do it in a corrective action? Mr. Kramer: The administration did get involved in this. They provided an athletic facility account manual to the two athletic directors and with that if they follow those guidelines they’ll stay compliant with the purchasing laws. As of right now, I believe they are doing that and I understand from at least one of them that it is working out well. Comm. Spagnola: That’s great. It’s just that it has been done the wrong way so long that nobody knows the right way. It’s good that this has been brought forward. Also, let me address violence in the schools. I agree if any student has at any time hit a teacher or an administrator there should be criminal action taken. That is a criminal act. This is a safe haven. There’s no place for violence in the schools. There’s no place whatsoever. We are talking about at the most 1% of all our students who are causing the problem. It may be less than 1%. The other 99% have to pay for it. I think we should look for an alternative to suspension, perhaps an alternative school. We identify the individuals. We know the individuals. They are recidivists. They are here from sophomore, junior, and freshman year. They continue to be the same people who come up over and over again. It’s not fair not to address their problem in a timely fashion. We are not doing them any justice. The rest of the students are not getting any justice and they are not getting any education. Comm. Muhammad: I just want to quickly say again we have really worked hard to get these policies done. I sure hope and pray that when you do your next report Mr. Kramer that you put in there that we have complied so that we will see what your next recommendation for us will be. To say to Cheryl, as always you continue to keep us focused on what we need to do. To all those committee chairs, I again thank you so much for helping us to get the job done. Lastly to Dr. Glascoe, I thank you for the invitation to go on the tour this morning but because I'm still doing grandma duties I was unable to go. But I thank you, Dr. Hodges, for giving us that update. I just can imagine
Page 120 2/20/08
every time I pass that building on Grand Street that it’s really going to be a blessing to our children and I'm just looking forward to getting the opportunity to see them go in there. Comm. Sayegh: Thank you, Commissioner. Perhaps your grandchild will attend International High School. I want to remind Board members and members of the general public that this Saturday at noon at Wayne Valley High School our Eastside Ghosts will be taking on the Paterson Catholic Cougars. Please make every effort to attend. Comm. Taylor: Go Ghosts. Comm. Sayegh: Go Ghosts indeed. Don't let Paterson Catholic people hear you say that. I also want to remind Board members that at our last Board Forward we agreed that we would assess ourselves and submit those evaluations by this coming Tuesday, February 26. Comm. Spagnola: I didn’t get it yet. Comm. Taylor: I didn’t either. Comm. Sayegh: If you have not received it please see Cheryl Williams. I received an email copy. It was moved by Comm. Spagnola, seconded by Comm. Muhammad that the meeting be adjourned. On roll call all members voted in the affirmative. The motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m.
