Parents whose children are re-fusing the Partnership for Assess-ment of Readiness for Collegeand Careers, or PARCC, test filledthe Hattie Britt AdministrationBuilding for last week’s board of
education meeting to get the an-swer to one question: What wouldhappen to their children whentheir peers are testing?
While the district gave parentsan answer, some in the audiencewere not pleased with what theyheard.
Superintendent AntoinetteRath informed parents at themeeting that students who refuseto take the PARCC assessment
will be permitted to do anotheractivity in the classroom.
Students who refuse the testwill remain in the classroom withtheir test-taking peers. The alter-native activity will be decidedupon at each individual school.
The parents in attendance atthe meeting gave Rath’s answer
mixed reviews. Some were happythe district took notice and madea change a week prior to the startof the test.
However, many still wanted therefusing children moved to an al-ternate setting.
“You’ve gone halfway,” MikeKaminski said. “The people hereare asking you to go the rest of the way.”
Some parents argued having
refusing students in the sameroom as test-takers will serve as adistraction to other students. An-drea Fuss read a statement re-questing her two children beplaced in a separate classroom.She felt the schools were not prop-erly communicating details re-garding what their children
would be doing.“Students who are testing de-
serve the right to a distraction-free environment,” she said. “Ad-ditionally, non-testing studentsdeserve the simple right not to bemade a subjective target by theirpeers.”

School administrators through-
out the state were holding their
collective breath leading up to
Gov. Christie’s 2015 budget address last
week.
“Where would state aid stand?” was
the question on everyone’s mind. If
state aid went down considerably, howhard would it hit the school district’s
bottom line?
Come last week, though, these same
administrators were able to breathe a
sigh of relief when Christie an-
nounced that his budget proposal
would actually increase state aid to
schools and, more importantly, would-
n’t reduce aid to any school district.
Overall, Christie’s budget provides
for an $811 million increase in educa-
tional funding, although only $4.6 mil-
lion of that will go to school aid. The
rest is earmarked for debt, pension and
health care.
The good news for school districts
like ours, which doesn’t receive the
bulk of state aid to public schools any-
way, is that we will not lose any state
aid from last year. True, we won’t be
seeing an increase, but at least we
won’t lose money.
While we certainly could have usedmore help from the Garden State, it’s
comforting to know we won’t have to
kick in more money out of our already
thin pockets.
So two thumbs up to Christie for
paying attention to one of the most im-
portant aspects of life here in New Jer-
sey – our public schools.
in our opinion
Phew!No school district will see a decrease in state aid
It’s budget time
The school district will be releasing its2015-2016 budget numbers, and theimpact on your tax bills, shortly. The Sunwill have all the details on the budgetwhen they are released. If you want toshare your thoughts on the topic, sendus a letter to the editor. We’d love tohear from you.

The average Mt. Laurel home-owner will see a slight decrease intheir fire district tax bill after vot-ers approved the budget on Feb.21.
In the unofficial election re-sults, 72.7 percent of voters ap-proved the first district’s pro-posed budget. In the budget,homeowners with an average as-sessed home of $236,952 will pay
$338.84 in fire district taxes in2015. This is a slight decreasefrom the $346.72 the average as-sessed home of $142,100 paid in2014.
The fire district’s tax rate de-creased 24.4 cents in 2014 to 14.3cents in 2015 due to the town-ship’s reassessment, which tookeffect last spring.
Scott Jones, administrator forthe Mt. Laurel Fire Department,
said the fire district has tried touse surplus to keep the taxes at areasonable rate for residents.This year, $1.1 million of the dis-trict’s fund balance is being usedfor the budget.
“We used surplus to try to keepthe tax increase to zero or reduceit,” Jones said. “We don’t believein keeping a tremendous amountof surplus in reserve.”
The total budget itself did notchange much from 2014. Thisyear’s budget of $9.9 million is an
increase of just $30,776.“Some line items went up,some went down because of rais-es and health benefit costs,”Jones said.
In the Board of Fire Commis-sioners election, Richard Hamil-ton and David Ridenour wereelected to three-year terms. Theydefeated Patrick Bigoss and Dou-glas Jones.

“We knew we were going towin it after the second game,”Frei-Funk said.
Klimek wasn't too upset he
missed a perfect game by one pin.He has bowled a 300 before, andhis 299 game came when Lenapehad already wrapped up the title.
“I already knew that we wonthe sectional,” Klimek said. “So itwasn't like we would have lost if Ididn't get 300.”
Lombardo said the sectionalperformance was proof of howmuch the team has improved overthe past few seasons. He feltKlimek is a prime example of this.
“When he came out freshmanyear, he was barely averaging100,” Lombardo said. “To be aver-aging 213, it took a lot of hardwork and dedication.”
Advancing to the individualstate tournament was a big dealfor Klimek. In 2014, he missed theindividual tournament.
“I was really excited,” Klimeksaid of qualifying for the individ-ual tournament. “I've come a longway.”
Klimek and Frei-Funk both ad-vanced to the second round of theindividual tournament. Frei-Funk finished in 10th, whileKlimek finished in 15th.
Despite all the team's accom-plishments, the season ended on adisappointing note at state finalson Feb. 20.
Lenape followed up its section-al championship with a fourth-place finish in the Group IVchampionship on Feb. 20, bowlinga 2,906. Freehold Township wonGroup IV with a score of 3,118.
Frei-Funk felt his team wasmore than capable of being thebest in the state. After recording3,100 or more pins most of the
season, falling short at states wasa huge disappointment.
“Bowling is all about one day,”Frei-Funk said. “We'd thrown a3,000 all season. We could haveshot that easy.”
Lombardo feels his team wasdisappointed because it set a goalbefore the season to win a largerprize than the sectional title. Still,he doesn't feel it takes away fromthe historical season his teamhad.
“What we did this year wasstill an amazing accomplishmentregardless,” Lombardo said.
While the Indians came up 213pins shy of a state championship,Frei-Funk believes Lenape wasthe best team in the state thisyear.
“I know we're No. 1 in myheart,” he said.

lez said.Wendy Harris acknowledged
it’s too late for the district to addan alternate setting for March,but hopes the district considersmaking a change for the secondround of PARCC testing.
“Maybe it’s not too late for
May,” she said.Rath said refusing studentswill remain in the same room astest-taking students since PARCCis what is on the schedule for theclass that day. She said the stu-dents will remain with theirclassmates as they would on aregular instruction day.
In addition to reacting to thedistrict’s PARCC procedure, mul-tiple parents spoke during publiccomment to personally give re-fusal letters to the board of educa-
tion and speak out against thetest.
Amanda Morris, a fifth-grade
student at Hartford School, cameto the meeting wearing a greenanti-PARCC t-shirt. Amanda re-fused the NJASK test last yearand is doing so with PARCC thisyear. She believed it was impor-tant for the board to hear the ar-gument against PARCC from anactual student.
“You cannot standardize learn-ing, so you can’t standardizetests,” Amanda said.
Parent Kate Graham told the
board there are parents whoweren’t at the meeting who wouldalso have their children refusethe test. She believes more letterswill be coming in leading up tothe test.
“You’re going to get a lot of opt-outs,” Graham said. “They’regoing to be coming in in the daysahead.”
Many of the parents in atten-dance said they would continuespeaking out against PARCC asthe test is administered in March.
Brett Morris, Amanda’s father,hopes the district also moves for-
ward with accommodating non-
test taking students.“We are just asking for that lit-
tle extra step,” he said.PARENTS
