that I just want to I let the members of the policy committee know that if you haven't heard it I know that yesterday at the um the governor's State of the State address he proposed um Banning the cell phones and I just wanted to make the members aware that um it would be good if just to do some research on that I did call the governor's office and they they uh stated that it is a proposal but I think it's interesting that the New Jersey uh School Board Association I mean NJ uh is supporting that so that's something that will without a doubt will be on our agenda when we meet on the 12 okay any questions um I I I like to add something to that sure there are a bunch of school districts that have already adopted policies that are Banning cell phones right Cherry Hill is one because they found that it does have a positive effect on uh student achievement so that's one of the reasons why it's made its way to the legislative offices uh in drenon so I would keep an eye on it because there's it stands of very good chance of making it through Trenton and becom will coming out State wall okay so all right um Mr Thomas anything from the township on your two committees yes we on the

that student was no is not being placed in an out out of districts is that correct no we're changing the out of District placement from one placement to another okay so that student okay I when I read that I wasn't sure if the student was still in District or or were they currently in and out of District placement and we are moving that student to another placement that's more appropriate for that student super thank you so much um if we can in SEC um exhibit 10 XA 10 again Mr Big Manis is always good to give the page number and then your it's easier to follow that way oh on P okay page three again fundraiser page three under fundraiser thank you thank you so much um fundraisers uh page three number 10 am I I'm am I to understand that none of those fundraisers are at any cost at all to the district the fundraisers are not at a cost to the district okay and these are funds being generated to come back and support the school activities okay thank you and then if I could ask another question um there was a the hands there was um an improvement no there's um a Bild was for H oh uh I saw a you have to bear with me while I find it [Applause] yeah you're right okay we didn't get that for you secet okay that that's my only question for that thank you I have questions okay um I'm on page five um number 17 okay High School guest speaker I did um Dr car I'd like to thank you for responding to my email that I sent out to you answering the the questions um when off Mr Lambert comes to our school um to give this um this uh do this guest speaking is it open to who was it open to in the high school is it open to ninth graders or only licensed drivers it's only open to 10th graders those who are taking the driver's education course okay did I fail to put that in my response to you I didn't see it but I'm also I'm also making it aware so that the people who are listening know that if they have 10th graders they know to make sure that tempat get a part of this U um assembly also the next question that I have is on um page 24 you did answer is on page six item number 24 thank you for answering the question on the summer camp um I did not see the response in regards to um when will you be posting um the camp sign up for December time so we don't have a date for uh when the registration notices will go out and as soon as we get that once the flyer has been generated then I'll provide that information to the public now is there a limited amount of students that we're going to be accepting there's always a limited amount of students and that's determined actually by the number of staff that we have available so usually I think it hovers between 120 to 150 students but again that depends on Staffing okay so if if for some reason we show a shortage of people signing up have the Staffing is there a way that you can do a ROP a call to inform parents who don't see the website because that is a beautiful website but I'm afraid that many people are still not looking at the website and um looking at all the great opportunities that we are offering on our website unfortunately it's not maybe our responsibility to go to every single parent but maybe even a r of call to let them know that we have a up um graded website that's an easy look now and maybe it just start making people look at that website see all the great things that we're offering at windo Township Schools so they can start being more engaged and looking at the things that we're offering so I'd like to go back and answer your first question regarding whether or not we can provide that notification regarding the summer camp if there is a short of students so if we have a shortage of students we don't have an issues with making parents aware that they're open slots and giving them the information where they can um find out information and complete registration form with regard to notifying parents about a our website there are things that we can do and we look into doing that I'd also like to go back Miss BL to the high school guest speaker uh this is not an optional presentation for students so if you're enrolled in the class is taking place during the school day it's a part of your schedule so the students will be required to attend perfect thank you for that information I appreciate it I just to have a question of clarity if I may on that on the summer school because I remember we we did have this last year was quite an event and we couldn't we didn't fill the fill a class am I correct um I'm not sure whether or not all the class uh not classes whether or not the number of slots were filled I would have to go back and take a look yeah I mean it's a good thing good I think the issue was last year that there were parents who wanted their children in the camp and the slots were not available okay it's a good program I remember it's a great program but again we're limited to Staffing and also facilities that we can use during the summer because we're using our facilities and cleaning has to take place and be ready to open school in September but we will try to Service as many students as we can well done um I need to make an amendment to um the motion um I need to have a motion to strike number 23 on page six of the superintendent's report okay so on motion you just need to amend the motion to accept it um starting on page three page six number 23 striking that one just stri out um number 23 on page six yes you still need a second second Mr Clark all in favor any other questions yes my final question is um I would like to commend um Dr caramo on um this pilot math program that we're going to be bringing to our school starting in February um I just like to make sure that um we're updated on the progress and the outcome of how the pilot program runs and with this pilot program um is this a dated um um curriculum or is it a a that once the pilot program is over it won't be dated I'm not sure what you mean by dated are you meaning that once the pilot program is are there other schools already currently using this this software so may uh if I may I'll explain the process to you so we have a five-year curriculum plan where we have a listing of all of the textbooks and resources that we have in the district and in that plan I indicate the adoption the date that the series was adopted the copy right data I think that's what you are referring to and when we should be re-evaluating those series that's what we're in the process of doing um so we don't adopt outdated programs we try to stay current we may be behind in some of our adoptions because there is nothing new uh that is available or the standards have not changed and there is not a reason to change what we currently have and there are some cour where the need to reopt does not as occur as often as it does with our core courses so once the teachers we do this evaluation process and we're very fortunate that we are piloting the programs at no cost to the district that's not afforded to everyone once we do the evaluation of the program and we implement the pilot of the program the reporting comes back with the recommendation from uh to move forward with the adoption okay thank you you're welcome that is it for me any more questions m p can we get a roll call please yes Mr Clark yes Miss dreaden yes Miss glae yes Miss Martin yes Mr mcmanis yes Miss Peterson yes Miss pits yes Mr Thomas yes and Mr Shaw yes the motion has carried can can we get a motion to approve the board business administrator board secretary's report starting on page seven through and finishing up on the uh page 13 motion to approve the business administrative board secretaries report that begins on the middle of page seven and continues through to page 13 second Mr Clark I have another question if I may um I think I have this down page 11 number 17 uh purchase of hando uh and and I guess the question I have is is that sounds like a lot of hand so we have a lot of children and I appre so that's for the entire District that's not just for any building or that's for the entire District but it will not carry them through the year okay so we can expect to see that one again thank you that's a very answer any more questions and what's good about that that hand soap is is that the new norovirus that's out there yeah it um hand sanitizer does not combat against it so we need to ensure that we do have hand soap inside of our schools so that our kids are able to wash their hands versus use the hand sanitizer so thank you for ordering that hand to call please Mr Clark yes Miss dreaden yes Miss G yes Miss Martin yes Mr mcmanis yes Miss Peterson yes Miss Pitts yes Mr Thomas yes and Mr sha yes but I have to abstain from number six p number 6380 and item number 21 the motion has carried um I'm looking for a motion of the Personnel report starting on page 14 and finishing up on page 17 motion to approve the superintendent report Personnel beginning on page 14 and continuing have through to page 7 I'm sorry no I'm sorry I didn't hear you second Mr Clark I have another question of course thank you Mr um regarding resignations on page uh 14 section three do we have an outboarding and I'm new to this so please forgive me do we have an outboarding uh process the uh find out what the reasons are why folks are leaving well yes Mr mcmanness we do we do okay Mr Davis conducts that okay that'd be great all right I I have a question there too if I at page 17 item number nine A Few Good Men mining can I get a brief summary about that sound like a very interesting program I know he was a a previous board member I would like to hear more about this program see what we can do to make sure this program is intact and and doing

any old business on the new business anybody have any new business Mr President just like to we just like to remind our board members about the upcoming County events uh as we all know that we have 21 counties and under the uh Department of Education each county has a a meet their meetings but they have combined Gloucester County and campon County so the um upcoming of the Camden County and Gloucester County um School Board associations will take place on Tuesday February 4th and it will be virtual okay anybody else yes yes um I just like you know I've heard something to the to the great line I just want to uh clarify far as what's our internet what um is there anything going on or anything we can do to make sure that our internet is is is a little more efficient is there anything that is in the workers period I'm trying to fure out to respond to that um I do think that uh internet is efficient um with all technology there are times when there are issues and when the issues occur we seek to resolve them immediately sometimes those things don't have anything to do with us but we work with whatever vendors or agency uh that we have to in order to resolve them we recently had some issues where there was a lack or disruption or slowness with the internet and that was resolved we are um we have ordered a backup service plan and we are waiting for that to be finalized so as soon as we discover that there are issues our technology department makes an assess assessment of what needs to take place and we work to resolve it so if it means that we need additional support then we go about the business of of making sure that we get that now sometimes it takes a little bit longer because we have to utilize another vendor so at that point we're at the mercy of the vendor with how soon things can be resolved even if it's a part inhouse such as having to replace a server it's nothing that we can do on the spot because we have to order the server once the server comes in we replace it so in the meantime we try to do a workaround and try and reroute things as best as we can but we try as best as we can to stay on top of things and resolve them immediately thank you very much you're welcome Miss Mar uh yes I attended the urban board's meeting on Friday January 10th 2025 um and we had a speaker uh Robert Kim Esquire uh he's the executive director of educ of the education Law Center and he was just emphasizing um as we make the transition things that we need to be prepared for that will be possibly affecting our education I also farther took the time to go to the website and um I am in the process of going through a couple of the webinars that he had presented and also um in that meeting I was reelected as the Delegate for urban boards congratulations congratulations Miss Martin um any anything else from any but any other board member um I have something um I'm I sent everybody a copy of December's legislative committee uh report tomorrow night is the South Jersey school funding Reform Act meeting in Blackwood if you haven't had a chance to sign up for it if there's any slots available I I would highly suggest getting in on that meeting um it is very important that everybody has a voice even if we feel like our funding is sufficient it you never know what's going to happen so please take a look at that information again sign up for it it's right in Blackwood um so I would highly suggest attending that because the last chance to do anything would be then and then submit comments to the Department of Education I believe um online and that's it before they start really looking at the new school formulas because they are starting to look at a new school formula Mr President yes you said you sent that uh the registration to each of the members of the board yes did you not get it I didn't make it home yet sir I sent it out a couple weeks ago oh I have review my well yeah I'll check it I'll double check to see if I sent it to you thank you um so yes uh that that's GNA be extremely important um and then also to go on top of what Miss Martin was saying about the urban board's um committee Mr Thomas was also there and he had sent me some information so I know Miss Peterson is a great resource for information I'm going to send out everything that she sent me um it's like a 10 page email when I printed it out um there's a ton of Great Lengths about school vouchers and how important we have uh with it's going to be to combat combat vouchers as a public school system so we as a board really need to start taking a look at this and doing our due diligence so if everybody when I send this out to all the board members please start taking a look at these links and what we need to start doing because as Miss Peterson and I talked about one of the biggest voucher schools is right down this right down the road if I'm not mistaken right Miss Peters 5 students so please everybody take a look at all this and I will send it out probably tonight and you can take a look at it you know at your leisure um that's all I have um Mr long if if nobody else has anything else if you don't mind doing public comments the Winslow

that I was going to come back um if issues with my child were not resolved and that is why back um I'm still here advocating for my child as he is still enduring continued bullying incident after incident Administration says that they are going to address things and they do not so I'm putting a on record a call to action to make the adults accountable and to be respectful and professional especially to those vulnerable students I'm asking this because I myself as a parent was dealt at by a teacher in front of administration which wasn't addressed and caused further incidents of disrespectful remarks made to my child in front of what I believe to be that individual's supervisor without any correction just days later so the ball is in you guys' Court you guys should be holding
