SUPERINTENDENT’S REMARKS

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Good evening, we’d like to thank the community members for being here tonight. Special thanks to

all students and families in attendance.

At this time, we would ask for a brief moment of silence in recognition for the 17 lives lost in

Parkland, Florida a week ago due to the school shooting.

District Mission: All students will graduate with a vision for their future, motivated to learn

continually and prepared to succeed in their choice of college or career.

Pre-K Update: The District currently provides almost 2200 seats for pre-K. Despite having one of

the best pre-k programs in NJ, we believe that improvement is a never-ending goal. Our mission is

to ensure that all Trenton families have access to high quality pre-school. We will continue to fund

pre-school until all Trenton families’ needs are met. Under the leadership of Director Monica

Carmichael, the Office of Early Childhood is hosting its annual Pre-K Fair on March 7, 8, 9, 2018.

The hours of operation are 9:00am-12:00pm & 1:30pm-4:00pm. The fair will take place at 108

North Clinton Avenue. This event aims to provide Trenton parents/ guardians, district staff, and

community members an opportunity to learn about the wonders in the preschool program tied to

curriculum, staffing, locations, and resources for families. During the hours of operation preschool

appointments will be made for the 2018-2019 school year. Please come out and learn about our

preschool superheroes!

Daylight/Twilight Update: The School Support Office is working collaboratively with Daylight

Twilight leadership team to improve alternative school programming for the 2018-19 school year. In

preparation for its return to the Hanover Street Building in 2019, we believe that additional




3

investments in resources, professional development, and ongoing support are needed to improve

student outcomes at the current Cadwalader Campus.

We also believe that in order for transformation to take place, new strategies, instructional

approaches, and progress monitoring are required. Enhancements to programs will be used to

support the following student groups in fulfilling their high school graduation requirements: Life

Skills, Overage and Under Credited (Ages: 16-21), Newcomers (Limited English Proficiency),

Students with Interruptions in Formal Education, and Adjudicated Youth.

Budget Update: The District is actively building the budget for the 2018-19 school year. As we

gather information, we will look back at costs associated, and consider anticipated increases such as

enrollment. We wanted to provide students and families a quick update on where we are with

regards to the budget development process. Keeping in mind that the budget will not be approved

until late March.

Our guiding principles this year are as follows:

Ensure every possible dollar is invested in meeting student needs

Empower staff members to grow through targeted professional development

Thoughtful realignment and reallocation of resources

Identify operational efficiencies and reduce administrative costs

Ensure spending is aligned to District academic priorities

Demonstrate our commitment to facility improvements

As a result of these principles, our initial budget recommendations include the following highlights:

Instructional Programming:

Increase achievement for all students in literacy and mathematics.

Improve the effectiveness of academic interventions for all student groups.

Expand Specialist offerings in Elementary Schools. (New)

Math Curriculum Adoption K-12. (New)

World Language Curriculum Adoption K-5. (New)

Language Arts Curriculum Adoption 9-12. (New)

Support for College & Career Readiness (New)

Expanded Career Academy offerings at TCHS. (New)

Gifted and Talented (G & T):

Increase advanced opportunities for students across all schools.

Bring more special education students back to District schools, reducing expenses, and

ensuring more students are part of an inclusive learning environment.

COMMENTS BY BOARD COMMITTEE CHAIRS Jane Rosenbaum – Curriculum & Special Education Committee – the Curriculum Committee met on Tuesday, February 20. They discussed plans for the Pre-K program, designed to provide greater inclusion opportunities for special needs students. The Committee asked that these plans include coordination so the students can be placed in the closest possible proximity to their homes. Additionally, the Committee discussed plans for trips and other off-site excursions. The goal is to provide every student in every grade with at least two opportunities for that enrichment. Gerald Truehart – Family & Community Engagement/Policy Committee – the Committee met last week with Ms. Marrero-Lopez, Mr. Bouie, Ms. Watson, Mr. Truehart and members of the Leadership Team to focus on Policy, which establishes the standards of behavior. The Committee feels it is very important to look at all the policies. A wellness review was done through the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA), including recommendations for moving forward. The Committee is particularly focusing on policies related to students, to ensure they are geared to educational outcomes and academic success. The Policy Review is a long term process and will be conducted over a period of months. Addie Daniels-Lane, School Operations Committee – the Operations Committee met on February 22. Ms. Howard provided and reviewed with the Committee the Board Secretary’s Report, Treasurer’s Report and Budget Transfers for the month. The review included Funds 10, 11, 15, 20 and 30. The Committee also reviewed the February Board

Agenda for Finance and Facilities, and also the Out of District Placements and the Bill List. It was reported that the District is working with Councilman Bethea to secure the release of City funding for Capital Improvements. The District is also extending its outreach in terms of recruiting staff, in order to meet the needs of our diverse student body. The Committee reviewed the administrative cost limits in preparation for finalizing the 2018/19 Budget. Each District BOE is asked to report their administrative costs using the New Jersey Public Schools Uniform Minimum Chart of Accounts. The Committee paid particular attention to Codes 230, 240 and 251. The Superintendent, along with the Business Office, is in the process of developing a plan so the District can meet the cap for administrators without sacrificing the direct support for students and instruction. Instruction and direct instructional support for schools is a priority and a key to our future. President Bouie said the Board had the opportunity to go through training last week on evaluation of the Superintendent. The law requires that the Board evaluate the performance of the Superintendent at least once annually. The law also further states that an annual report shall be prepared by July 1, by a majority of the Board’s total membership. The NJSBA has come out with a new evaluation tool for the Superintendent. There are new standards as follows: Mission, Vision, Core Values, Governance, Ethics, Professional Norms, Operations Management, Curriculum/Instruction/Assessment and School Improvement, Community Care, Equity, Family Engagement and Professional Capacity. Each standard has multiple indicators. Possible ratings are: Exemplary, Proficient, Area of Growth, Unsatisfactory and Not Observed. Mr. Bouie also stated that the Board received a 100-Day Update from the Superintendent in December, and this precipitated significant discussion about observations. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Mr. Norberto Diaz, Supervisor of Visual and Performing Arts and Partnerships, spoke about Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Music Fraternity at The College of New Jersey. The fraternity collected music supplies and monetary donations from family, friends and community members over the last semester, all of which is being donated to Music classrooms in the District. The donations surpassed $10,000.00. Mr. Diaz introduced Christopher McEwan, a Junior Music Education Major, who spoke on behalf of the fraternity and discussed his and his classmates’ experiences observing Trenton Music classes and finding ways to help and encourage the students in their love of Music. Mr. Thomas Montanari, Visual Arts Department, spoke about the value of Music and Art electives. He thanked the Board for its support of the Visual and Performing Arts Curriculum. Ms. Kathryn Wolden, Teacher, expressed concern with custodial staffing and cleaning at Dunn Middle School. She also spoke about assessments for students, stating they are not grade-level appropriate. Lastly, she felt there are budgeting inequities between central administration and the schools.

Ms. Britton Garnjost, Art Teacher, thanked the Board for their support of the Arts in the District. She spoke about Arts events at various schools, and she invited Board Members to attend and see the students’ work. Mr. Bouie asked the Superintendent to provide Board Members with a list of events so they may attend. Ms. Jenn Savage-Renshall, Art Teacher, also spoke about the importance of the Arts. She said Art is one of the core ways through which students express themselves. Ms. Savage-Renshall said she is very proud of the Princeton University Arts Museum program in the District. She also invited the Board Members to attend the various shows and exhibits throughout the District. Mr. Bouie said the Board also knows how important the Arts are in contributing to student success in life. Mr. Darren Freedom Green, Community Member, also said he is a supporter of the Arts. He thanked the TCNJ Music Fraternity for their donations to the District. Mr. Green said he is the Youth and Outreach Advocate for the Trenton Housing Authority, and he spoke about their program for training residents of the Housing Authority to learn construction. He also expressed the urgency for getting the Community Forums in place for the four wards. He said discussion is needed in areas such as school safety, lead poisoning and keeping the focus on student education. Mr. George Varney, Student at Daylight/Twilight, expressed concern about possible budget cuts at the school. He spoke about the advantages the school offers its students. He asked the Board to do the right thing for the school. Mr. Phillip Young, Teacher at Daylight/Twilight, said the new vision and structure for the school has not been communicated fully to the staff. He expressed concern that the current supports will not continue due to cuts in staffing. Mr. John Forte, Teacher, expressed concern about privatization and its negative impact on our staff and students. He spoke about inadequate custodial staffing levels, and he also felt that the security staff is undervalued. Mr. Glenn McFarlane, CEO of Aetna Better Health of NJ, offered to work with the District on addressing healthcare concerns for students. Ms. Susan Nardi, New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), spoke about gun violence in schools. She said there is a student march on Washington DC on March 24, and she hoped the District will provide buses and chaperones for Trenton students to participate. She also spoke as a member of the public on Bylaw 0167 – Public Participation in Board Meetings – and how it relates to the Open Public Meetings Act. Ms. Twanda Taylor, First Vice President of the Trenton Education Association (TEA), spoke about the push for equity and opportunity for all. She also expressed concern about the District’s attendance policy.




10

Ms. Janice Williams, TEA Grievance Chair, spoke about a letter she received from the former Solicitor regarding her comments during Public Participation. She provided copies of the letter to Board Members, and she said it has legal implications regarding First Amendment rights. She also expressed concern about an administrator applying for a mentorship program. Ms. Williams discussed the 2018/19 Budget and the effect of the administrative cap, stating that the District is over the cap. She also discussed the budget for Daylight/Twilight and felt that it had been gutted. TEA President Ms. Naomi Johnson-Lafleur also said she received a letter from the former General Counsel; and she asked if the Board sanctioned the letter, or if it was sent at the direction of the Superintendent and the Board President. She spoke about freedom of speech. Ms. Johnson-Lafleur felt that both Superintendent Searches were ineffective. She also said there has been no collaboration in the development of the 2018/19 Budget, and she expressed concern about staffing reductions at Daylight/Twilight.
