Woodington Others Present: Sal Illuzzi, Tom Egan, Pete Galosi, and Joanne Tomkiewicz The Committee meeting began with a discussion of the bid results pertaining to the generator project. Mr. Egan informed Committee members that bid results were received this afternoon. Eight (8) bids for the technology generator project were received. They ranged from $70,000 to $104,690 with a majority of the bidders submitting bids in 85,000 to 95,000 range. The low apparent bidder is LaManna Electric from Robbinsville, New Jersey. The architects are contacting LaManna to be sure the bid submitted is without error. Once the bids are reviewed, the lowest responsible bidder will be presented to the Board for approval. Committee members were informed of requests made by the High School Principal to repair or replace the High School intercom system, gymnasium lighting and the removal

of the front canopy. Mr. Galosi reviewed the health and safety issues and concerns. Committee members unanimously agreed to repair and upgrade the gymnasium lighting and repair and replace the intercom system. An estimate of $50,000 will be appropriated from the district’s maintenance reserve account. Committee members did not approve the removal of the front canopy at this time. Monies for this item will be built in the 2013-14 school budget. Mr. Galosi discussed the Middle School gymnasium floor resurfacing project and shared copies of pictures of the finished floor with the new pirate design logo in the center of the court. He reminded Committee members that the High School gymnasium floor is scheduled for resurfacing during the 2013-14 school year. Dr. Illuzzi informed Committee members that the Cinnaminson Nursery property is up for sale for approximately $1 to $1.4 million. The property lies adjacent to the Middle School campus and is less than six (6) acres. The school district was approached to see if we had any interest, and if not, the property would be sold to a developer. Committee members discussed and decided not to move forward with the acquisition. Committee Members said the High School renovation project was their priority. Under “other matters” Mr. Galosi informed Committee members that a representative from PSEG would be present at the August Committee meeting to answer any questions pertaining to the upgrades to the electrical substation and towers. Mr. Egan discussed solar power score board options requested by Mr. Weber for the High School athletic fields. Committee discussed and requested Mr. Egan to build the request in the 2013-14 school year budget. Mr. Galosi informed Committee members of the cleaning schedule. The contracted cleaning services have begun the summer cleaning of the Middle and High Schools. Mr. Galosi is having some concerns with Pritchard Custodial Services at the High School and will be re-advertising those services. Committee members requested a tour of the facilities prior to the start of the regular business meeting on Tuesday, August, 28, 2012. The tentative starting time of regular meeting will be changed to 6:00 p.m. so that Board Members may immediately open the meeting and then recess in order to tour the facilities. The regular business section of the meeting will resume at 7:30 p.m. Under Transportation, Mr. Egan reported on the October 2011 DRTRS Bus Transportation Efficiency rating for the district. Cinnaminson Township School District was rated 4th in the County and 27th in the State. Committee members congratulated Ms. Tomkiewicz and her staff for their efforts and for bringing in revenues in excess of her budget by approximately $200,000. The Cinnaminson Township School District bus inspections were held in June and all went well. Ms. Tomkiewicz requested the Committee to approve the replacement of their utility vehicle. The current suburban has 238,000 miles and is twenty years old. Committee members indicated their willingness to purchase another vehicle. Committee members next discussed the “bring your own device” (BYOD) technology plan. The August meeting of the Facilities/Transportation Committee is tentatively scheduled during the third week of the month.

C. Finance/Personnel

Meeting: 6:30 p.m., Thursday, July 12, 2012, 2012 at Central Office Members Present: Pam Crepps, Linda Lamb, Dolores Woodington and James

McGuckin in absence of Jackie Plunkett Others Present: Sal Illuzzi and Tom Egan The Committee meeting began with a discussion of personnel matters. Dr. Illuzzi informed Committee members that all positions have been filled for the 2012-13 school year. This week the High School English position was just offered to a candidate. We are now working on filling family leaves. Requests are not posted for these positions until we have a letter in hand from the teacher. Under “Other Personnel Matters” Committee members discussed matters relating to the intent of Board Policy 3230 and employees providing DJ services for district events paid with district funds. Mr. Egan recommended that compensation for employees in question would be treated as extra duty. This same concept has been used to compensate staff that provide piano and choreographer services for the Drama Department. Committee members unanimously approved. Committee members agreed to establish a 457 Deferred Compensation Plan as an additional option for employees to shelter compensation. Under Financial matters, Mr. Egan discussed the status of the food service POS system. He explained that the technology department had recommended Horizon Software International. The POS system will be in service for the 2012- 13 school year and parent notification will be mailed this summer. Mr. Egan further explained that on line deposit payments made by parents using their credit card will be assessed a service charge. The charge is an on-line bank card service fee of 4.75% and is in line with the charges assessed by our surrounding districts. As in the past payments made by check or cash provided by the student or mailed to the district are not assessed service fees. The lunch program no longer supports the 25 cent discount for payment of a week or multiple weeks in advance. Committee members unanimously approved. The renewal rate through SAIF for property and casualty, general liability, auto liability, student accident, pollution liability, workers compensation and school leader’s professional liability is 6.7%. Following a number of years of very low rate increases and even some decreases, this year's SAIF package policy rate increase is attributed to higher casualty, injury and medical claims during the recession and significant catastrophic property reinsurance losses last year around the country including significant losses in NJ from Hurricane Irene. The small Workers Compensation increase of approx 3.5% brought the average

increase for schools in the SAIF program down to approx 9%. Since Cinnaminson had very view claims, good student accident results, and minimum salary increases, the total increase for Cinnaminson including exposure increases for building replacement cost and payroll was approximately 6.7%. Committee members next approved the renewal agreement with Cooper Health Systems for providing specialty physician services at the varsity football games. The agreement calls for a fee of $200 per game. As in past years Cooper Health Systems will supply one sports medicine physician to each home and away varsity football game. Mr. Egan informed Committee members that the team plays nine games with the possibility of one home playoff game. The District spent $2000 for these services during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school year. Under “Other Matters,” Committee members discussed the travel resolutions as required by the Fiscal Accountability, Efficiency and Budgeting regulations. N.J.A.C. 6:23A-7.3 states that Board annually establish a maximum travel amount not to exceed $1,500 per staff member and an annual school district travel and related expense maximum for the budget year for which the district may not exceed. Committee members unanimously approved. The August meeting of the Finance/Personnel Committee may be scheduled during the third week of the month.

D. Policy/Legislation

Meeting: Tuesday - July 10, 2012 District Administrative Office 7:30 p.m. Members present: Jean Cohen (for Jim Herschel) Linda DiMassimo Steve Kenny Jim McGuckin Others present: Sal Illuzzi The meeting began with Committee members having a second review of the following Policies:

1230 Policy Superintendent’s Duties

1631 Policy Residency Requirement for Person Holding School District Office, Employment, or Position

2415.4 Policy Title I - District Wide Parental Involvement

3125.2 Policy Employment of Substitute Teachers

5117 Policy Inter-district Public School Choice

Committee members recommended that the above be forwarded to the Board for a second review and adoption. The meeting continued with a first review of the following Bylaws, Policies, and Regulations:

0151 Bylaw Organization Meeting

0153 Bylaw Annual Appointments

0167 Bylaw Public Participation in Board Meetings

5441 Regulation Honor Roll

8613 Policy Wavier of Pupil Transportation

9270 Policy Home Schooling and Equivalent Education Outside the Schools

9270 Regulation Home Schooling and Equivalent Education Outside the Schools

There was considerable discussion among committee members as to the meaning of “public” in Bylaw 0167 - Public Participation in Board Meetings. Three (3) committee members thought that discussion was limited to Township residents. The fourth felt that it was more global in its intent. Per committee member request, the Superintendent sought clarification from the District Solicitor, Township Committee and other school districts. All parties who were contacted agreed that “public” is global and cannot be limited to only Township residents. Thus, the language as presented in the proposed Bylaw is correct. Committee members recommend that the above be forwarded to the Board for a first review.
