REPORTS

SUPERINTENDENT

Dr. Ben-Dov reported on the following:

2016-17 School Year concludes tomorrow. It was a very productive year academically.

STEAM started last year and “exploded.” New Report Cards and Parent Portal were

introduced for grades K and 1. The use of Meaningful Technology to support all learning

was extensive to name just few highlights.

Our two 6th Grade Graduations took place; Cherry Hill School Monday evening at River Dell

High School with approximately 700 people in attendance. Roosevelt School was Tuesday

evening. It was more intimate in the RS gym and the weather cooperated. Both

graduations were very successful.

Award ceremonies at Cherry Hill School took place this morning with County, State, and

National honors. We look forward to the Roosevelt School Awards tomorrow morning.

Dr. Ben-Dov expressed her gratitude and thanked the entire staff; Administrators,

Custodians, Office Personnel, Parents, PTO’s and The Board of Education for their support.

With a few gaps in our Administrative staff this year everyone’s support was truly important.

Dr. Ben-Dov said that it was great to see so many teachers and staff members at the

graduations this week and she thanked them for being there.

Dr. Ben-Dov was pleased to report that all the administrative positions in district have been

filled. Tonight the Board will vote on AnneMarie Spiegel (Literacy Coach/Supervisor).

Roosevelt School certificated positions are filled at this time and Cherry Hill School has a

few outstanding classroom teacher’s positions to fill. We had one teacher retire and we are

moving a teacher from Roosevelt School to Cherry Hill School. We are observing demo’s

and expect to fill them in early summer along with Leave Replacements.

Dr. Ben-Dov thanked Joe Bellino, Interim Business Administrator/Board Secretary, for his

help from December through our Budget Development. Not an easy process while doing

this part time. This is Joe’s last meeting.

Our new Business Administrator/Board Secretary, LuAnne and Dr. Ben-Dov will begin

working next week. They will set up committee meetings for the year. Dr. Ben-Dov asked

the Board if they would prefer another Wednesday night for committee meetings or a

Tuesday once a month.

There will be a great deal of Curriculum work over the summer; Report Cards for Grades 2-

6, STEAM. We will need to add ELA work now or at the July 26th meeting.

There will possible be additional State Aid to underfunded districts to serve students’

educational needs. We are considered an underfunded district. We hope to know by the

end of June if we receive our share of ($297,535.)

Wishing everyone a Great Summer

End of a great year winding down. We had our final field days and field trips
