Championship an accomplishment that speaks not only to the leadership talent and dedication of our student athletes but also to the exceptional support of our Administration the field crew the secretarial staff student body the parents alumni uh and the community at large uh our Victory is a testament to uh the hard work the teamwork the resilience that these young athletes have demonstrated throughout the season uh they faced many challenges pushed themselves Beyond limits and most importantly supported each other as one unified team except when they don't wear the full uniform that I asked them to to wear sometimes that sometimes it slips through the cracks but I'm sure they were rifling through their laundry baskets on the way uh up here to find the ones that they that they did come up with uh um their their success is not just about goals scored or trophies won but about the values they've displayed discipline perseverance and sportsmanship running through our state sectional bracket as a number nine seed meant that we were on the road for the entire tournament uh we were able to defeat number eight seed Piscataway magnet the number one seed Shore Regional number four seed Rosel Park that one was pretty sweet not going to say uh and number three middle Sachs all while conceding one single goal in the entire tournament uh we outscored our opponents 10 to one on the run to our second straight sectional championship and if not for penalty kicks it may have been three in a row um and some of the guys were here for for and played in all three of those uh

school exemplify leadership talent and dedication Michael's a proud and active member of our school Community as a musician he con contributes to the marching band the concert band and Jazz Band showcasing the talents on trumpet his passion for music extends beyond the school as well he plays for the Union County Municipal Band alongside his father uh and serves as a bugler for both the VFW and the local fire department Michael is the founder and president of the Dungeons and Dragons Club as well as a member of the National Honor Society demonstrating his commitment to academic excellence and service outside of the classroom Michael is an eagle scout the highest achievement in scouting for his Eagle project Michael conducted a detailed survey of the deserted village in New Providence this project holds great historic significance and the county plans to use Michael's survey to organize an archaeological dig in that area it's no surprise that Michael's future plans align perfectly with his passions he intends to major in archaeology and dreams of leading his own dig himself someday channeling a little bit of Indiana Jones minus the Fedora and whip uh Michael Andre is a shining example of what it means to balance Talent leadership and drive to make meaningful contributions so everyone please join me in recognizing Michael for his many accomplishments and wishing

Michael um I was speaking with Michael's math teacher the other day and she was speaking about how he's the student in class who loves when a problem comes his way that he's never seen before he has to figure out how to solve it um so just to speak to what Mr pero said about Michael's academic prowess um it's there but um Michael had invited me to his uh Eagle Scout ceremony and I just wanted to um recognize him publicly as superintendent because I think um as a community we really want to recognize civic responsibility Community engagement and there's nothing better than being an eagle scout and being part of the boy scout counc of America so congratulations um that concludes the student highlight portion of our meeting so if anyone's here for that and would like to duck out gracefully now's your chance um in the meantime Mr ganella is going to prepare a referendum update for any community members who are looking to see where we are with that uh good evening everyone uh this is my monthly uh referendum update so uh projects are progressing uh uh fairly well uh the fields project uh is uh uh reaching its conclusion with the final documentation and we should be hopefully wrapping that up within the next couple of weeks um the HVAC projects the controls and balancing uh is 98% done uh Harding controls and balance is also uh uh finishing up and the punch lists are in in uh progress as this heating season started we're um uh dealing with some uh tweaks here and there but everything seems to be in relatively good working water um some rooms are a little colder than they should be some are a little hotter but that's what this whole process of balancing and working on the controls is all about uh so we appreciate uh the uh patience of the staff and the students as we work out those issues um regarding the uh big project the additions project area a which is the uh main uh addition for the science Wing in the Middle School the uh second floor slab is scheduled to be installed tomorrow the IR irrigation system for the fields is in progress uh we're expecting the sad to be uh in sometime next week uh that should be a pretty uh interesting uh process they come in with uh uh four to 8 foot to 10 foot rolls and they out so um if you get a chance take a look at that maybe we'll get try to get some video of that as well uh the steel installation on the the addition is complete um uh cold form framing which is the uh the metal studs that you see going up are is in progress um the MEP which is the mechanical electrical and plumbing installation is is in progress as well uh the elevator and stairwell CMU which is the concrete mason are unit is in progress and you'll you'll see quickly from here uh that uh addition hopefully being closed up prior to the New Year areas areas B and D which are the Harding and breely auditoriums the breely uh lighting and uh Auditorium is complete uh seiling installation is complete only things they need to do is put the numbers on the seats in the rows um they're going to be wait we're they're going to uh wait till the Harding is done to do that the carpet is installed sound booth should be arriving sometime next week uh the plumbing for the Harding Auditorium roof dreams is now complete that was what the holdup was um as Mr Jeremy uh Davies noted in his U um Spotlight uh on uh what you do on Facebook right everywhere whatever everywhere everywhere social media um uh you know Harding School that section of Harding School is 100 years old so when they got into that there are some challenges with the roof drains uh and how they need to be um um connected and redone uh so that took a little longer than we anticipated uh but um it is complete now the ceiling grid installation is in progress the light fixtures will soon follow and the seatings are seats are to be installed uh sometime next week as well area C which is the lobby um the ramp and the curbs uh for the sidewalk are complete the rail fabrication which is the handrails for the uh ramps and the the steps uh is in fabrication Fab fabrication uh the mill work is to be delivered that's for the uh Reception Area uh is supposed to be delivered next week as well um the storefront installation which is your windows and your doors is 90% complete uh one of the windows came in broken so they have to work on that the me uh for the lobby is nearly complete the rooftop unit uh has been installed and interior painting uh will begin this week as well so here are some some pictures uh that you could see uh the first front is the uh area a which is the addition you can see all the metal studs that are there um ready to be installed uh and you can see the insulation the yellow insulation there as well as all the steel work being complete the second photo is the lobby uh and you can see the storefront complete there as well as the stairs and the sidewalks uh third one is the brly Auditorium with the carpet down and the uh seats installed um the one in the lower leftand corner you could see the masonary uh block which is for the elevator um the middle one on the bottom is the inside of the lobby looking out um through the doors and the last one in the corner there is the Harding uh Auditorium which is still a work in progress so here's the cost breakdown uh that I uh um said I'd provide not much has changed with respect to that we have a couple payments on the agenda this evening uh for uh uh Longo uh for the payment of the uh Auditorium seats as well as for shorelands um uh and then uh that's pretty much it I would like to note that you could see in the first one the field uh improvements um $77,000 for the change order if you re call a lot of that change order had those change orders had to do with the uh contaminated soil that we found out uh we had uh after we started the project um we also filed an insurance claim with our carrier uh through our Environmental Protection and to date we've received $455,000 back from that so um we're in a very good position for that uh project not going to any cost overruns uh and we are well within our original budget even with those um uh contaminated soil costs um and with taking into consideration the insurance claim uh and the money that we received so all in all um finances are in good shape for the projects any questions no okay thank you when this is over yes I will uh thank you Mr ganella to tack on to his his presentation about referendum projects just wanted to inform the public that in November we held stakeholder conversations with both staff and parents um we'll continue to have more discussions specifically around the transitioning um of sixth grade from Harding to Bley uh making sure that that transition plan is as smooth as it can be to best support our students as we create the sixth through e8th grade middle school also to bring to people's attention is just the potential that we've begun discussing about a staggered start time for David breely so that middle school students and uh high school students enter the building at different times and exit at different times that would help build the Middle School culture and identity it would help with keeping middle school students separated from high school students and it would significantly help with traffic congestion which is um an issue um so that's something that's um begun in conversation um also just to add to n's report there's also a lot going on at Harding Elementary School uh the W their Winter concert is this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the gym additionally Harding is holding its annual holiday shop and the holidays Around the World Experience on Thursday and Friday of this week those are always exciting and then next week is Harding's holiday spirit week um I know it's early in December still is um but I don't think it's too early to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season um so that's that um and finally tonight I want to take a uh time to pause and honor the service of two of our exiting board members um first is Allison te uh Miss te has served on the kennworth board of education for three years most recently she has been the chair of the curriculum committee Miss te and educated herself ran for a seat on the board to serve the children of kennworth and that she did Miss te always brought a level-headed approach to every decision and would look at topics through the lens of would this be good for my own students or would this be good for my own children and she always came to conclusion that was in the best interest of all students of kennworth public schools Miss TI has been a dedicated board member and um and a supporter um of the board of of myself and the community of kennworth and we thank her for her service thank you Miss tears I'll be back'll be back sounds good um also also tonight I want to thank Miss pette Drogan for her 12 years of service on the board Miss Drogan is passionate about this town specifically about the kids in this town and making sure that this community holds on to the values that make it a great place to raise children when everyone else is maybe wondering something Miss Drogan is the one who asks the question she believes people should indeed have productive back and forth debates and conversations about controversial topics and that debate and a little sparring is a good thing because again like Miss TI M jogen believes that it has to be the right decision for the students of kennworth and that is her guiding force in the past several months I've gotten to know M dren's wit and humor when asked by a fellow board member at our last meeting why she was making a statement she responded in vintage Mrs Drogan matter of fness what I might not be here for the next meeting who knows made me laugh and I appreciate your humor I thank you for your humor for your questions for your passion for young people thank you for your service to kenor uh and just again um for both Miss te and M Drogan a reminder that these positions are volunteer positions they do not get paid um to sit here um and I just wanted to recognize their service um you guys have made a difference um you want to support you want to contribute and that um is Civic engagement right there and so I very much appreciate that thank you for that um best wishes thank you very much um finally just a a few other things we have a November HIV report there were two investigations in the month of November that resulted in two confirmed HIV situations at rarly those are in your meeting packets also while you're reviewing that following the HIV report is the November discipline report the enrollment report and The Residency report so all that information is there for you and

last year's cycle is to push the um September regular meeting to the second uh third third Monday of the month um to September 15th uh it's a really quick turnaround between Labor Day and the meeting

and all things that parents and students can get involved with under new business anyone have anything under new business there's a program of last week Alliance met with some of the staff here um there ongoing programs for drug and alcohol awareness and prevention this year we will be having every 15 minutes again and I understand the past time or two that we've had it um part of that program is a a vehicle that's been in a serious accident from drunk driving on the premises uh they haven't done that the past few years but we all agreed you want an impact I know they're going to tape it this year and show it it's not the same you could show the tape but it's the impact of seeing that vehicle and we were hoping that the board would approve somewhere on the facility or near her to have that crashed car to help these kids maybe one kid doesn't have a drink it will make a big difference so I ask you to seriously consider that and also um support any of the programs that have come free to the school system through grants and other funding to make sure that that continues that's something that we really need to do um I also went to a football game and um all right the football team played the best they could they didn't win but they gave it all they had but I have to say that the band and the cheerleaders were phenomenal and I don't know that they get the praise it seems like the football players always get the praise but our cheerleaders and the band are just very special I just wanted to say that I also want to say it's been an honor and a privilege to be 12 years on this board working with um for the parents and the community and with such a fine board and administrative staff and I thank you for that honor thanks Paula you're welcome thank you anyone else I'd just like to Echo Mr J's words and thanking Miss te and Miss troan thank you for your service and you will be missed I hope so I have a couple things under new business um the uni County Educational Services Commission this past week um I sit on that board purchased a facility of Cardinal Drive we um contract out some services to them so within the next few years there might be a change in location to those Services student services will not be disrupted but there'll may be a future change in the location so we'll keep you updated as their superintendent gives more information we wanted to thank everyone for this entire year which flew by for attending and supporting we've had so many school events it would take a long time to mention from PTO to parent meetings um sporting events band plays just a lot of things that we can be proud of and we want to thank everyone from students to leadership teams for participating um I also would like to to say thank you to the current board members for your service and congratulate the new board members that are coming on um one thing that we I think sometimes forget to do which I wanted to say um was to thank all the First Responders with the holidays coming up um they sacrifice a lot with their families around the holidays and we've seen a lot of them even here doing school stuff um during the holidays and out out in our community helping so that's something that I thought we should mention and um also to wish everybody a happy holiday happy New Year we have so much upcoming next year that we're excited about and to

that everyone can fit you know I can't help but note that we had people like trying to peek in from the hallway to see things so I just hope that we keep that in mind moving forward when we anticipate
