Mr. Smith made the following statement.

“I’ve had a few farewell parties attended by some of my closest friends and colleagues and staff members. This is certainly a surprise and an honor coming from the Board of Education and my central office staff members. I have said a number of times, this decision was not an easy one because of all the relationships that I have developed in 17 years, not just in my 6 ½ years as Superintendent, but through the 17, and being a member of this community for a long time. It was something that I did for a lot of different reasons. I will always call Woodbridge my home. It’s been a great place, it’s been a great learning experience for me. I can’t thank everybody enough. This Board of Education, past Boards of Education, have treated me well; have served me well. A lot of times, these members up here…You have to remember, they don’t get paid for what they do. Sometimes they get unjustly criticized for their actions, but a lot of people just don’t understand the time and effort that Boards of Education put in. They take their job seriously. It’s a business where you’re never going to make everybody happy. You can make 99% of the people happy with the decisions you make and 1% will be unhappy. That’s just the nature of the beast and I’ve come to learn to live with that. I’ve always stood by my decisions that I made. I know that this Board of Education has always stood behind everything because they do really care about what takes place in this school district and about what happens with our kids. People can say that they don’t, but that’s their opinion and everyone has their opinion. It’s a tough job and they do it well. We’ve disagreed on issues but it’s always been on a business level, it’s never been a personal level. My central office staff, I can’t say enough about this group of people here. They are dedicated professionals who come to work everyday, once again with the best interests of the school district and the kids at the foremost in their minds everyday because they are just dedicated. There is a ton of experience here and a wealth of knowledge. I have grown and learned from them and taken things from them that I will take to my new job. I told the graduating class at Colonia High School that education is a life long process. You don’t finish after 12 years of high school and college. You continue to grow. I told them that there might have been some decisions that I made early in my career that I might do differently now because of the experience and the growth that I have obtained over the years. I don’t think there’s anything wrong in admitting that or saying that because we all grow. We continue to learn. That’s what education is about. That’s what we have to promote to our students. This central office staff is a dedicated group. They all know their business. We work well. We’ve had our disagreements but we sat down and we have always come together to put forth our best effort and best plan of action for the school district. To you guys, I tip my hat to you. This school district is in good hands. The entire group of administrators in this district and our teaching staff is a wonderful group of people. In this day and age, public education is quite honestly taking a beating here in the state of New Jersey from our legislators down in Trenton, blaming everything on public education.

342

June 26, 2008

There are some things that have to be fixed, no question about it, but I think the people that come here everyday do a great job for our kids and I tip my hat to our administrators, our teachers, out support staff, a group of dedicated people who just are wonderful and I appreciate that. I have to thank my staff in my office for the tremendous work they do each and every day too. There are three people that I’ve come to really respect and love. They do a lot and they know how to handle people. They’re real professionals. They can handle a lot of things that don’t even get to my desk, they’re that good. I want to make sure they’re commended. I want to thank the community for their support over the years. I think we have accomplished a lot of great things here in 6 ½ years. This administration, Board and community came together and did things that have been unheard of here in Woodbridge Township, passing budgets and referendums when year after year we suffered defeat, 31 years, 35 years. It’s come together with the support of a lot of people to do some great things and I expect that to continue. I wish the Board the best in the search for my replacement. I know they will do the best to make that happen. I can’t thank everybody enough. Down the road, I’ll leave that up to the critics to judge how I did. That’s somebody’s else’s job to think of what I did. I know that I came to work everyday with the best intentions and the students and staff in mind for their safety, concerns, their betterment in education. I know I’m leaving here feeling good about that. Like I said, I’ll leave it up to the critics to judge me down the road. Once again, it’s been a great experience here in Woodbridge Township. I’m going to miss it but I do wish everybody the best. I know this Board is going to do a good job in getting this ship going again.”

Mr. Molnar thanked Mr. Smith and wished him and his family the best of luck. Mr. Molnar stated the reason they will be good is because of him and the foundation he laid in the District.

1. That the Board of Education approve the following resolution regarding the Sale of Real Property.

WHEREAS, the Board of Education previously requested approval to dispose of District owned property known as Block 580, Lot(s) 58 to 82 and Block 580, Lot(s) 93 to101, Harrell Avenue, Woodbridge and Block 376K, Lot(s) 1 to 26 and Block 376M, Lot(s) 1 to 9, Elizabeth Avenue, Iselin, as required by N.J.S.A. 18A; and,

WHEREAS, this property has been assessed by the Department of Education and the Department of Community Affairs to determine if it is in any way suitable to support either the implementation of the District’s Long Range Facility Plan (LRFP) or the educational adequacy of the adjacent facility; and

WHEREAS, the finding of this assessment indicated that disposal of this property is consistent with the district’s approved LRFP; and

WHEREAS, the sale of this property will not have a negative impact on the educational adequacy of either the site or school adjacent to the site; and

WHEREAS, the County of Middlesex is desirous to acquire this property for open space preservation purposes.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Education, Township of Woodbridge, County of Middlesex, State of New Jersey as follows:

a. The President and Business Administrator/Board Secretary are hereby authorized and directed to accept the proposed acquisition by the County of Middlesex for the property as follows:

Block 580, Lot(s) 58 to 82 and Block 580, Lot(s) 93 to 101, Harrell Avenue, Woodbridge $1,614,800.00

Mr. Yuhasz moved for the adoption of the Buildings and Grounds recommendations, seconded by Mr. Small. During Board discussion, Mr. Yuhasz stated since he wasn’t on the Board when they initially decided to sell the Harrell Avenue and Elizabeth Avenue property, can Mr. DeMarino provide some background information. Mr. DeMarino, explained in an attempt to generate revenue without going to the taxpayers, the Board asked to have the lots appraised. Mr. DeMarino stated the lots were cleared by the Department of Education for sale. He further explained the Board was hesitant to sell the property because they didn’t want to see any additional development in the district. He stated with the help of Mayor McCormac, the County became interested in the land to preserve as Open Space which the Board

347

June 26, 2008

is in favor of. Mr. Yuhasz asked if there were any plans for the district to utilize the property at any time. Mr. DeMarino stated the Board looked at ways to sell small parcels of land to generate revenue, referencing Tobin Place.

Ms. Acquisto thanked Mr. DeMarino for Item #2 which approves the window replacement bid at Colonia High School. Mr. DeMarino explained Item #2 replaces the outer windows, including the cafeterias, breezeways and hallways. The interior windows facing the courtyard will still need to be replaced at a future time. He stated possibly with the Board’s direction, some of the money realized from the sale of property to the County can be used for completion of the window project.

During public discussion, P. Ballotta, Woodbridge, asked if the Harrell Avenue property is the old practice fields for Woodbridge High School. Mr. DeMarino stated that is correct. Mr. Ballotta asked if the teams will still be able to use the property for practice. Mr. DeMarino responded the Board made that assurance. Mr. Ballotta asked who will maintain the property. Mr. DeMarino stated that is still being discussed with the County, Municipal and Board government. Mr. Ballotta asked when the sale of property will close. Mr. DeMarino stated he does not have dates yet, but, although the money from the sale will be received in the 08-09 school year, under the law, the district will not be able to utilize the funds until the 09-10 school year. Mr. Ballotta urged the Board to invest the money, earn interest and plan towards tax relief in the 09-10 school year.

J. Cheslow, Colonia, asked if the district still has property which can be disposed of in the future. Mr. DeMarino stated the district has additional lots which can be sold in the future if necessary. Mr. DeMarino explained that prior to selling any school district property, approval is needed from the Department of Education. With all Board members voting in favor, the foregoing was adopted. Board Attorney, Viola Lordi, had nothing to bring before the Board for open session. Ms. Lordi stated she and her colleagues at Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer wish Mr. Smith much success and happiness in his new endeavor. Under "Old Business," Ms. Leidner thanked School #26 for their performance at Mr. Smith’s farewell party. Ms. Leidner congratulated all the graduating seniors. Ms. Hardiman, stated she, Ms. Leidner and Ms. Rotella attended the graduation ceremony at JFK. Ms. Hardiman wished all the graduating seniors good luck in their new endeavors.

Mr. Small thanked Central Administration and Board members for their phone calls and e-mails congratulating Brian, his son, on his accomplishment. There was no “New Business” to bring before the Board. Mr. Molnar asked Ms. Leidner to give an update on the Superintendent’s search. Ms. Leidner stated a special meeting of the Board was held on June 23, 2008 where the full Board immediately retired to Closed Session to discuss and review the applications submitted. Ms. Leidner stated after careful review, eight candidates were selected for interviews using the established criteria set by the Board and based on the public input at the May 8, 2008 open meeting and survey results. Ms. Leidner further stated tentative dates for interviews have been set. She stated in addition, salary requirements and the Superintendent’s contract were discussed. Ms. Leidner explained that interview questions were developed and will be reviewed by the full Board.

Ballotta, Woodbridge, wished Mr. Smith good luck in his new endeavor, adding that he had the pleasure of serving on the Board with him. J. Cheslow, Colonia, wished Mr. Smith good luck, commenting on the interesting working relationship they have had.

Mr. Molnar stated there are 4 candidates from within the district and 4 outside the district. Ms. Cheslow asked what the tentative dates for the first round of interviews are. Ms. Leidner stated she is unable to disclose that information at this time since the candidates have not yet been informed of the dates. Ms. Cheslow asked if the public will have an opportunity to pose questions to the candidates at a public meeting. Ms. Leidner stated the Board discussed that and when the finalists are picked, the Board will then meet to determine how they will move forward. Ms. Cheslow clarified that a decision has not been made on public questions. Ms. Leidner stated she is correct. G. LaTorre, district teacher, wished Mr. Smith the best in his future. He stated, he believes he speaks on behalf of all the teachers when he says Mr. Smith will be missed. Mr. DeMarino thanked Mr. Smith on behalf of the Central Office Leadership Team, noting that he was appointed as Superintendent as a time of turmoil in the district. He spoke of Mr. Smith’s honesty and integrity earning the respect of the entire district. Mr. DeMarino thanked Mr. Smith for everything he has done for him. He commended Mr. Smith for balancing his professional life and family life in the manner he did. Mr. DeMarino congratulated Mr. Smith on his accomplishments. Mr. DeMarino wished Mr. Smith the best of luck in his new position. J. Himmel, Colonia, asked if the criteria established for the Superintendent is available to the public. Ms. Leidner stated they are available for public review, some of which were listed in the advertisement which appeared in the Star Ledger. Ms. Himmel asked how many candidates being considered hold PHD’s. Ms. Leidner stated at this moment she is not sure. Ms. Korodan wished Mr. Smith good luck to their colleague and friend.
