V. COMMUNICATIONS (Board Secretary)

Mr. Franchetta informed the Board of an emergency situation that arose at the Harry L. Bain Elementary School. He stated that last week the New Jersey School Development Authority’s appointed architect was working at the school and declared the current scaffolding around that school insufficient to protect the students and public. The scaffolding was put in place by the district over one year ago. In the architect’s professional opinion, scaffolding should be placed around the entire school and meet the New York City safety standards. The Executive County Superintendent was contacted and informed of the situation and concurred with the district’s decision to declare the replacement/upgrading of the current scaffolding an emergency. In accordance with Board Policy and New Jersey State Statute the district obtained three quotes and immediately awarded the job the lowest vendor. A purchase order was placed with Ace Scaffold of Lodi, New Jersey in the amount of $157,500. As this job is a New Jersey School Development Authority undertaking, the district will seek reimbursement for the funds spent on the scaffolding emergency.

segment on the wellness program at Public School #2 tomorrow. E. Elected School Board Process Mr. Roth explained that at the recent General Election held on November 5, 2013, the

voters of the Town of West New York reorganized the West New York Board of Education from a Type I school district (Mayor appointed Board) to a Type II school district (voter elected Board). With this change there was action by the Board that is necessary.

Mr. Roth presented a proposed resolution for Board consideration and to be appended to this evening’s agenda for adoption by the Board.

Mr. Roth read the proposed resolution and distributed a chart showing when each Board Members current seat would expire.

Mr. Roth also discussed the need for a Special School Board Election to be held in

January 2014 to add two (2) new Board Members, thereby increasing the Board from a seven (7) members to a nine (9) members in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:9-10. He stated that there would be another School Board Election in April 2014 for the three (3) seats that would be expiring, as the Mayor of the Town of West New York no longer would appoint Board Members.

There was no desire of the Board to consider the proposed motion presented by Mr. Roth at this evening’s meeting.

VII. PUBLIC COMMENTS

In accordance with West New York Board of Education Bylaw #0167 (Public participation in board meetings – Adopted April 22, 2009) each participant shall be limited to three minutes’ duration.

1. Francisco Ferreiro – Mr. Ferreiro asked Mr. Roth if it was his responsibility to make the rules for the new board and not the Board Attorney (Paul Sangillo). Mr. Ferreiro stated that Mr. Roth is relaying the information in a lying, cheating way. He spoke to Mr. Frank Belluscio (Deputy Executive Director) of New Jersey School Board Association regarding the process. He stated that all five (5) members would be elected in a May 2014 election. Mr. Ferreiro stated that Mr. Roth was hiding information by not telling the Board about the November election. He also stated that there is a bylaw that Board Members are not permit to assist in an election campaign that Mr. Acosta has violated.

2. Wayne Cook – Mr. Cook displayed two brochures that were distributed during the general regarding the public question regarding the school district. He suggested that Mayor Roque pay for the special election. Mr. Cook suggested that the Board meetings be rotated between school buildings in order to encourage public participation.

3. Silverio (Sal) Vega – Mr. Vega stated that it becomes difficult to determine who speaks for the Board, as Mr. Roth usually fills that roll. He stated that Mr. Roth is not the issue. Only twenty (20) municipalities in the State of New Jersey remain were the Mayor can still appoint the school board. On Election Day, 3,500 voters in West New York approved the change to an appointed Board. Mr. Vega stated that people sense a major problem in way the district is run. He stated that the current law firm has history dating back to 1991 with Scarinci and Hollenbeck. Mr. Vega said in the future when he wants to hear legal advice regarding the Board of Education, the advice should come from Mr. Sangillo not Mr. Roth.


4. Meril Sanchez – Ms. Sanchez stated that she is a big supporter of Board of Education. She remarked that she moved her children from a Hoboken private school to a public school system.

Mr. Acosta declined to answer Ms. Sanchez’s questions.
