Construction
The Committee walked the addition at Sharon School to review the GC’s progress. While
the GC has made progress it is apparent that they will not hit the October 31 deadline. The
GC is still saying on or about November 17. Most of the committee feels that it will be
closer to the end of the month. The Committee then discussed possible courses of action.
Bob and Steve are going to follow up with our attorney and architect to discuss options.
Transportation
In addition to the monthly transportation report, the committee discussed bus stop
consolidation. Mr. DeVita informed the committee that after a second review of the runs the
district has saved $32,000 this year as a result of consolidating the runs. The committee
asked that he provide data regarding of the number of stops eliminated this year and the
savings in time for each run.
At the Board meeting, Mr. DeVita presented the following information to the Board.
School # of Stops Before Consolidation # of Stops after Consolidation Time Saved
PRMS 94 72 32 Minutes
RHS 82 47 61 Minutes
FFT asked that the Ed Policy Committee consider adding bus stop distances to the
transportation policy at the November 10th committee meeting. Committee members also
agreed to a date to walk the stops and discussed holding a joint transportation meeting,
possibly in January, for the community with district and township officials in an effort to
minimize transportation costs.
Mr. O’Grady informed the Board that there is a motion on the agenda to recognize the
Comprehensive Maintenance Plan. This is an annual motion that shows the amounts spent,
budgeted and anticipated for 13-14, 14-15 and 15-16. The goal of the CMP is to
October 28, 2014 Public Session Minutes Page 4 of 25
demonstrate that the district is allocating at least the minimum amounts required by law to
maintain the buildings (.002 of each buildings replacement values). The district is well
above those amounts.
D. COMMUNITY RELATIONS – Mrs. Sharon DeVito
Mrs. DeVito reported that during the October 7, 2014 meeting, the Community Relations
Committee discussed issues related to transportation and sidewalks. The committee agrees with
the need to hold a transportation meeting for the public. Mrs. DeVito noted that the committee
also sees a need for a meeting about PARCC testing and how it ties in to the Common Core
Standards.
The committee would like the ribbon cutting for the construction projects to be held on Earth
Day (April 22, 2016). This will provide time for administrators to consider ways to involve
students using earth friendly activities.
XI. HEARING OF THE PUBLIC
A. JERRY FOSTER
Mr. Foster congratulated the Teen PEP student facilitators on a great presentation. As an
individual involved with the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program, Mr. Foster informed the
Board of the existence of a SRTS infrastructure grant and noted that that the township has
adopted a Complete Streets Policy that will make local roads more walkable, bikeable, and
liveable.
B. MARIA PANDOLFI
Mrs. Pandolfi stated that she in uncomfortable with Teen PEP. She specified that this type of
program is for inter-cities, not Robbinsville. She said that twelfth graders should not be teaching
other kids and that sex education is serious and therefore incompatible with humor.
C. FR. MIKE MCLAIN
Father McLain said that he opposes Teen PEP and noted that, in his opinion, it is relativistic,
because it leaves certain choices such as having a child, abortion or adoption to the child. He
asked that if the Board is not going to overturn the decision to implement Teen PEP that it
consider limiting the modules.
D. CLAIRE GELLMAN
Mrs. Gellman indicated that her Goddaughter attends Robbinsville High School. She noted that
she is concerned that students whose parents decide to opt them out of the Teen PEP program
might feel embarrassed. She asked how students who opt out will spend their class time. Dr.
Mayer responded that there will be no stigma in the event of an opt out and that students will
spend time in the library or commons.
E. ANDREW USMIANI
Mr. Usmiani said that he does not understand the primary objective of Teen PEP and said that
there is no focus on abstinence or self-respect. He advocated for transparency and stated that if
abstinence is the primary goal, the program is no good. Dr. Mayer noted that the district did not
alter its health curriculum and that peer leaders reflected the heart of the program in their
presentation.
