SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT
New Jersey Department of Education Distinguished Student Teach – Kristen Drew
Nellie Bennett Elementary School Third Grade Teacher Mrs. Kristen Drew was recently
designated an outstanding cooperating teach by Monmouth University’s Teacher
Preparation Program. Nominated by her student teach, Ms. Nicole Miani, a Point Pleasant
Borough High School alumnus, Mrs. Drew was recognized for her excellent mentoring
abilities and her support of Monmouth’s teacher preparation program.
West Point Society of New Jersey’s Dwight D. Eisenhower Award for Outstanding Leader
of Character – James DiOrio
Point Pleasant Borough High School student James DiOrio was awarded the West Point
Society of New Jersey’s Dwight D. Eisenhower Award for Outstanding Leader of
Character. This award recognized high school juniors throughout the State of new Jersey
who demonstrate outstanding performance in the areas of academics, athletics, community
service, good citizenship and leadership.
Point Pleasant High School Concerns
I recently met with Ms. Rocco to discuss two issues that she has great concern with as we
move toward the 2010-2011 school year.
1. The number of parents who are constantly dropping off items that their children forgot
to bring to school, i.e., books, lunch money, homework, projects, etc. Ms. Rocco
informed me that parent drop offs totaled 912 during the 2009-2010 school year. Not
only is this an interruption to the main office staff, but the parents expect that the
students will be notified when the item is dropped off, thereby resulting in a loss of
instructional time. Ms. Rocco has asked me to support her stance that parents will no
longer be able to drop off items starting with the 2010-2011 school year. I do support
her position; she will therefore notify parents prior to the start of school of this change.
2. The number of tardies to school needs to be addressed. During the 2009-2010 school
year, there were approximately 6,000 tardies to school. A plan has been implemented
for the 2010-2011 school year and Attendance Policy 5200 will be strictly enforced.
Board Policy 2430 – Co-Curricular Activity
On August 24, 2009, the Board of Education approved revised Board Policy 2430. The
purpose of the revision was to make the policy more rehabilitative than punitive. The
revisions made to the Low Profile situation emphasize community service and counseling.
The Administration’s goal was to educate our students about the ill effects of alcohol and
substance abuse. Ms. Rocco prepared a summary, which is attached for your review. The
summary shows a significant reduction in violations of Board Policy 2430.

State Compliance Audit
The State Compliance Auditors have completed the audit, which began on February 8,
2010. A copy of their final report dated June 23, 2010 is attached. The audit consisted of
a detailed and comprehensive review of districts October 15, 2010 ASSA, EXAID and
DRTRS. The auditors felt the records they reviewed of ASSA were outstanding and one
of the best districts they have audited. There were only minor differences in various
counts reported that will not result in any reduction of State Aid. The EXAID applications
reviewed could result in an additional $10,134 being given to the district due to the final
actual costs spent being higher than the estimated costs reported in the application.
However, since those funds are depleted on an annual basis, it is unlikely we will see any
more EXAID. Despite Steve Corso’s, Tom Frio’s and the Transportation department’s
efforts to produce documentation, the State auditors have reclassified 8 students who were
reported on the October 15, 2008 DRTRS report as Special Needs students to Special
Education transportation only. We were receiving $2,675 per student. While those
requests were made by Child Study to Transportation, and reported on the DRTRS, it was
not reflective or accurately stated in the students Individual Education Program (IEP).
Although we disagreed, they reduced the aid on these students, which resulted in us only
receiving about $396 per student. We were encouraged by the audit manager to appeal.
We will also argue that due to the State Aid cuts for 2010-2011, we received no
transportation aid and assuming funding will be flat in 2011-2012, we will not be getting
any transportation aid in the future to take from. A resolution is on the agenda accepting
the audit report and action to appeal the findings, as well as the Corrective Action Plan.
The full report is attached.
VI.
ANNUAL BOARD ETHICS TRAINING (conducted by Board Attorney)
Mr. Popovitch provided a brief overview of the Code of Ethics for School Board members,
which is an annual requirement designated by law. It also satisfies NJQSAC indicator C3
Ethics Compliance under the Governance section.
VII. EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mrs. Speroni moved, seconded by Mr. Ruiz, the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Board of Education has a need to hold a meeting on personnel and
negotiations, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Open Public Meetings Law (NJSA 10 et seq), such a meeting
may be held in private.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that:
1. The Board shall meet in closed session on these matters, and
2. The matters to be discussed in private may be shared with the public within three Board
meetings or at such other time as the Board may determine that there is no longer any
requirement for confidentiality.
The above resolution was approved unanimously. The Board recessed into Executive
Session.
VIII. RECONVENE PUBLIC MEETING
Mrs. Speroni made a motion to reconvene public meeting. The motion was seconded by
