Helen Fowler asked the Board of Education for background information in reference to the playground location at Oak Valley School. Mrs. Jackson stated that a letter was sent from the Mayor of Deptford about concerns with the location of the playground, and asked if the Board of education would be willing to pay for the relocation of the playground. Jim McHugh stated that the playground is not the problem, and that his impression is that no one was aware of the playground location. He asked that the district communicate issues like this in the future. He also added that he is happy that the playground is at Veteran’s Park. Rachel Green stated that the playground was installed with the best interest of the children, and the $20,500 could be better utilized for instruction material. She added that the dialogue about the playground and the petition was in support of the current playground location. Mrs. Gray stated that the children have a place to play, that the location wasn’t a purposeful move, but a strategic one for the children to play. The location was intentionally to be far enough away from the classroom so not to disrupt the classroom environment. The School Board is here for the children. Motion by Ms. Rosser, seconded by Mrs. Gray, to close the public portion on agenda items only. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Mrs. Gray, seconded by Mrs. Covely, to re-open the public portion on agenda items only. Motion carried unanimously. Rick Tradder believes that a playground near the memorial is what the fight was all about. The children need to meet and talk to the veterans like he did when he was a child. What could the children learn by meeting veterans and respecting what they did for this country. The money is the tax payers, if there is a strong movement to relocate the playground, than the district should start fund raising. Motion by Ms. Rosser, seconded by Mrs. Gray, to close the public portion on agenda items only. COMMITTEE REPORTS Verbal reports were given regarding the committee meetings held.

Ms. Rosser stated that the Governor no longer supports common core, and is concerned about having common core written in the district policy.

Mrs. Gray asked about policy and the legal impact with fundraising or corporate sponsorships. Mrs. Gray and Ms. Rosser have issues with the teacher conferences and that there was not enough time to discuss this issue between the board members.

This resolution to continue in effect until or unless rescinded by the Board of Education and shall

be included among those policies adopted annually by the Board. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:11-3 in adopting this resolution, the Board of Education adopts as its own policy and agrees to be governed by the Constitution Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of the NJSIAA.

A photocopy of the minutes signifying the adoption of this membership resolution is attached. Administrative Responsibility – The Association must rely upon the voluntary compliance by its

member schools in enforcing the eligibility standards set forth as Bylaws, Article V. Toward that end, the Principal in each member school has the affirmative obligation to report to the NJSIAA any violations of these standards. The fact that a school has disclosed that there has been an eligibility violation will not relieve the affected school of sanctions that may be imposed against it, pursuant to Article X of the Bylaws, including the forfeiture of games or events. However, the failure to disclose an eligibility violation may be grounds for imposing additional sanctions upon the offending school.

In addition, a school must maintain a status of “Member in Good Standing” as outlined in the

Principal’s Affidavit to remain eligible for NJSIAA activities and tournaments. 7. School Bus Evacuation Drill as attached (Students Attachment 7). 8.
