aens Miss King Miss Bellow Miss silver Miss Waters yes Miss gr yes M Ro yes congratulations morning [Music] [Music] he um next next we'll be going over um a couple of things that we have to you guys okay okay okay um next we'll be going over a couple of um things that we need to start the school year off with um for the board normally we go um through the sections but what I'll do is since we have new board members I'll do it um we can vote on one at a time so you can understand what you're booking on um and we can go from there um so if you turn your packages um we're on 6.1 we normally go 6.1 to 6.5 we go on a whole um section but since like I said you we'll take it one step time if you have any questions so may I have a motion for 6.2 to reopt the board bylaws policies and regulations and basically what this is is our bylaws that um we go by to operate on the district the board policies for the school the district and our regulations that we have to abide by so may have a motion motion by Miss Shain um I have a second second by Mrs ERS any questions no questions call Miss wife Miss Alberto yes Mr Gibson yes Miss Akin [Music] Shon Miss King yes Miss mow Miss silver Miss Waters yes Miss gray M roell yes motion cares next is 6.3 the read-option of our preliminary procedures Roberts RS of orders motion motion by Miss King second by Miss gr do you guys have any questions no okay just trying to walk guys it no questions wel this Miss Alberto yes Mr Gibson yes M Jones aens yes Miss King yes Miss Mello Miss silver yes Miss Waters Miss gray M roell yes motion car next 6.4 this is our annually um school board meeting calendar um a list of the meeting dates that we will have throughout this uh school year have motion motion motion by Mr Sil don't matter second second by m silver questions I just have one question and [Music] so um I need whoever um the calendar that we had for the list of um dates for the school board um the superintendent and myself um we did go over the list of dates but I think we need to tweak it again and maybe add um two more in there for February the 18th we have Michelle Kennedy School Board she'll be coming in and doing training with us um for the school um for that day at 6:00 uh February the 18 CH Miss Kennedy she's our field rep traine for the school board so she'll be coming in and um giving us some training and um one that dat and that will be at 6:00 a regular board meeting um then on August the 12th we have August the 26th in there but the more I thought about it it's to beginning back to school so just want to triple check double check make sure we're all set so I I figured we would add August the 12th back in there just to make sure we're good before school starts I know we only have that one day in all this but I think we probably need to to make sure we have everything in order or we need to add anything just in and then we'll just need to fix this calendar because the next board meeting is not the 21st it should be the 14 going be and the reason February the no that's January 14th is the next meeting the 14th of January yes for yeah yeah I think was 17 but just with 18 ked's coming in on that day and then August the 12 just prep January janary and also um just to let the board know also in may we have two board meetings is because normally we do renew knows a lot of stuff goes on towards the end of the year so I think it would be important that two meetings more meeting um so we can cover whatever needs to be covered then the budget also as well prior to that so that's the reasoning why I added those ex days in just taking in effect so we can be more productive we need to do as our business to moving the district forward and making our decisions and Sal um it's here it's May 6 and the 13th everything else is right it's just those days that I had GRE in there and and if I speak now it's open m will we get a REV one yes yes we go yes this is what we will make sure that all the board members get a copy of the revised um schedule and also to the new board members and to the old board members Mrs White is the board secretary um She nor handles all that work for us like the calendars and setting up the meetings if we go to the New Jersey um you know meeting in September with the um New Jersey associations she normally say if you want to go to a committee meeting She nor sign and she does theine now [Music] no so the person that moved in second do you agree with um what I just said or do you have any questions that's good okay okay so you had that Miss [Music] with the amendment Miss Alberto yes Mr Gibson yes Miss Jones aens m m Miss K oh yes Miss Miss silver Miss Waters Miss grave M roel yes motion car next is you go ahead miss you okay okay next is 6.5

2028 so we do get updates weekly but I will'll be forming a um separate committee to be um people for the new school and I'll be selecting three of the board members to be involved so we can be a part of the process of the new school that the SDA is involved giving us funding to build a new school on K Avenue anyone need a motion for that okay yes okay great an so the close out I this is an additional committee the superintendent normally gives us reports monthly but I felt it like robbery I think we should share in the process so sometimes we don't have to wait for her update monthly but with this committee we can get your updates through the committee where we can funnel back to the rest of the board and then it could be a part of our you know we can let the community know you know in the board meeting so we'll know so with that I'm going to need a motion it's going to be I need a motion to create a school structure committee for the new construction for the new proposed
