PUBLIC PARTICIPATION At this time, Board Counsel Perry Lattiboudere read the following statement:

While public education can be an emotional issue, the Board will strive to maintain a certain level of decorum at the meeting. Students often attend or participate in the meetings; as such, citizens are expected to maintain a tone of courtesy and civility. The Board President is responsible for the orderly conduct of all Board Meetings and is charged with enforcing the Board Policies related to the conduct of meetings. Board Policy recognizes the value of public comment, and this meeting permits the fair and orderly expression of such comment. District Policy 0167 states that the presiding officer may interrupt or terminate any participant’s statement when the




3

statement is too lengthy, abusive, obscene or irrelevant; may request any individual leave the meeting when that person does not observe reasonable decorum; request the assistance of law enforcement officers in the removal of a disorderly person when that person’s conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting; call for a recess or adjournment to another time when the lack of public decorum so interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting as to warrant such action. The Board will use the public comment period as an opportunity to listen to concerns, but not to debate issues or enter into a question and answer session or cross examination between the public and any individual member. Be aware that not all issues brought before the Board tonight will be resolved this evening. The Board may respond to public comment by seeking additional information or by delegating the authority to investigate the issue to the Superintendent or his/her designee(s).

President Redd advised that the Attorney’s statement was added to the Board agenda to be read before each public session. He spoke of its relevance, particularly after an incident at the last SDA Committee meeting, which is being investigated by the Board, where a member of the public spoke to a member of our Trenton family in an inappropriate manner. President Redd stated that if that were to occur, the individual’s right to speak could be curtailed in the interest of civility and courtesy to District staff and partners. Ms. Rose Dawkins spoke about outsourcing services, stating that it is not working in the schools. She particularly expressed concern with security, food services and 1:1 aides. She also felt that Principals should be selected from the current staff when replacements are hired, stating that these individuals have earned the right to be promoted. Mr. Tom Pollizzi, Science Teacher at the Ninth Grade Academy, suggested that outsourcing home instruction is counterproductive to efforts the Board has made to improve instruction in our schools. He stated that the District is ahead of many others in STEM and the Science programs due to the partnership between TEA and the NJEA for the Progressive Science Initiative, which has trained and certified Teachers to teach high level Science classes. He asked the Board to reconsider this outsourcing and stated it would not save the District money. Ms. Crystal Smith, Guidance Counselor at the Ninth Grade Academy, said that progress has been made but there is still room for improvement, and cuts to direct student services should not be the solution to funding issues. Mr. Billie Hayes felt that the October 28 SDA Committee meeting should have been cancelled because no Board Members were in attendance. He discussed differences between the conduct of Regular Board Meetings and Board Committee Meetings. He felt that environmental issues exist at 400 Chambers Street, but they are not being addressed by the District. Ms. Naomi Johnson-Lafleur, President of the Trenton Education Association, said the TEA should not have to review the agenda at the eleventh hour for items seeking to outsource




4

the work of its members. She felt that this is a disrespectful lack of transparency from some members of the Leadership Team. She expressed appreciation that Finance Item P has been pulled, and she stated that TEA is in strong opposition to the Board awarding home instruction services as written in the original Request for Proposals to Inspire Educational Group, Inc. Ms. Johnson-Lafleur said that failure to negotiate terms for outsourcing home instruction is a violation of the bargaining agreement between TEA and the Board. Ms. Janice Williams, Grievance Chair for TEA, discussed the history of home instruction in the District. She also spoke as a taxpayer, stating that she has received complaints from members of the public who feel the Board is unresponsive to their concerns. Ms. Williams stated that some topics discussed in Executive Session should be matters for public discussion. She also felt that the Board Attorney should not hold a position on the Leadership Team. SUPERINTENDENT’S REMARKS Superintendent Feria acknowledged Ms. Hope Grant, Principal at TCHS Main, along with all staff, for providing a safe and caring learning environment for all students. She commended them for their support of Jae Irizarry and her mother, and she asked all staff to continue the great work on behalf of all students. Ms. Feria advised that Mr. DeJesus and Mr. Ortiz will be available at all Board Meetings to address concerns. She encouraged parents to continue contacting the offices, stating that the District is committed to serving them. She added that on December 1, there will be a trial link on the webpage for stakeholders to sign up for public participation. The District is testing a new online system for this purpose. Ms. Feria reported that on November 11, through a collaborative project including TEA, TBTA, PTO, the FACE Department, Social Studies and Music Departments, Trenton NAACP sponsored a Veterans Recognition Luncheon hosted at Kilmer Middle School. Fifty eight veterans were honored at this event, with our students performing and providing a well-deserved tribute. On November 12, an Abbott Leadership Summit was hosted at the Board. Over 30 parents and over 30 students and community members participated in this event, sponsored by NJEA, TEA and Rutgers University. Ms. Feria said she had the opportunity to participate, and she appreciates the partnership on behalf of the parents and students. She thanked Ms. Johnson-Lafleur for her leadership in bringing the project to Trenton. The Superintendent said the Bilingual Department showcased the talents of our students and teachers at two recent evening activities, themed Proud to be Bilingual. She thanked Ms. Sandra Iturbides for organizing the event, and Principals Mark Hoppe and Talaya Wilson for hosting.

Ms. Feria said that a reception was hosted today to recognize and thank the many parents and community volunteers who are supporting our mission of educating Trenton students. She said the District celebrates this week the National Parent and Community Volunteer Day, and approximately 60 people received a certificate of recognition and gratitude. She thanked Ms. Everene Downing for her leadership in organizing this project. Ms. Feria thanked all the parents, community and staff for attending four different community meetings last week. She said their ideas, contributions and commitment on behalf of the students is welcome and appreciated. Lastly, the Superintendent reported that the student average daily attendance is at 93%, an increase of 3% from last year. At this time, Ms. Feria introduced Mr. Doug Peters from Voya Financial. Mr. Peters presented the Voya Unsung Heroes Award to Ms. Jordana Scheer, Art Teacher at P.J. Hill Elementary School. Ms. Feria congratulated Ms. Scheer and all the teachers she represents, stating they are all unsung heroes. Mr. Peters spoke briefly about Voya and the Unsung Heroes Award. BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Mr. Truehart congratulated Ms. Scheer on her award. He also addressed the Board’s commitment to the community of students, teachers, parents, etc. He said he does not take his appointment lightly, and the Board is committed to the education of the students. He added that the Board entrusts the resolution of individual problems to the Superintendent and her staff, and that silence is not indicative of their hearts and their care for the community. He also attested to the transparency of the Board regarding matters of discussion for the public. Mr. Truehart expressed his disappointment at the resignation of Kilmer School Principal Ms. Paula Bethea. He also recognized and congratulated Robeson School Vice Principal Mr. Alex Bethea, who is retiring after 40 years of service. Lastly, Mr. Truehart recognized the many community partners of the District, specifically Minding Our Business, Mercer Street Friends, Campfire New Jersey, Inc., Trenton African American Fire Fighters Association, UIH Family Partners, Union Baptist Church and Shiloh Baptist Church, among many others. He said there are churches, non-profits and other partners who are involved with our students, and this shows collaboration and communication. President Redd echoed Mr. Truehart’s comments regarding the Board’s service to the residents of Trenton. He said that although there will be disagreements, the contention that the Board doesn’t care about the students or about advancing the District forward is not true. He added that the members who serve on the Board have made a conscious effort to move forward because they believe they have something valuable to offer. He invited anyone who feels he or she has something to offer or that the Board is not doing its job, to contact the Mayor’s office with their resume and ask to fill the vacant seat on the Board. He also felt that the concerns raised tonight were not student-centered but rather focused on the adults’ issues.
