Mr. Kakavas congratulated the newly elected board members and wished them Godspeed

and I’m sure that my fellow board members echo their comments, thank you. I was

As we do every month, the committee reviewed the expenditures listed on the
Purchasing Agenda. The Purchasing Agenda also included change notices, items of zero
value, permission to advertise, bids and resolutions. Questions were asked by various
individual board members, which were answered by Mr. Doering and other members of
our administration. The Purchasing Agenda for this month is in the amount of
$3,157,692.89 for the 2012/2013 school year. The Budget & Finance Committee is
recommending the approval of the Purchasing Agenda by the full Board this evening.
The Committee then reviewed facility lease and corporate sponsorship agreements,
which are on the agenda and also recommended for approval tonight. The events being
approved for the John Bennett Athletic Center are of course subject to the facility be
ready and available for use subsequent to the necessary repairs.
Finally, the committee discussed scheduling a special Budget and Finance
Committee meeting on November 28, 2012 at 6:30 P.M. for the presentation of the June
30, 2012 audit. This will be duly advertised.
The following is a list of bills requiring further explanation from the November 13, 2012
Budget and Finance Committee meeting:
1. Page 3, Allied Boiler, 13-72581 – this was for replacing a tube within a boiler at
East Dover, where the boilers are many years old.
2. Page 52, award of bid to Central Bus Service – This quote is for a High School
North student who was placed by DYFS in Forked River.
I believe all other questions were satisfactorily answered at the meeting.
Building & Grounds – Mr. Givone
Mr. Giovine echoed the comments that other board members had made and
specifically recognize the buildings & grounds crew who is his opinion did an exemplary
job over the past few weeks in maintaining and preventing massive damage and also
recovering what Sandy left behind. My thoughts and thanks go out to them.
The Building and Grounds Committee of the Board of Education of the
Toms River Regional Schools met on November 13, 2012 in Conference Room A at
1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey at 7:00 P.M.
Committee Chair Mike Jedziniak read the following opening statement:
“Good Evening, welcome to the Building and Grounds Committee Meeting of the
Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools. Notice of this meeting was
published in the Asbury Park Press on November 8, 2012 which constituted at least 48
hours notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act.”

well as the Superintendent- Frank Roselli, Assistant Superintendents- Jim Hauenstein,

Facilities Manager- Mark Wagner. The meeting was open to the public. Members of the

public were present for the meeting and were provided with an opportunity to make
comment.
Regarding the Energy Education program that was approved by the Board in
August 2012, the Energy Education Specialist is currently performing building
audits and the program implementation is well under way.
The following represents in general, the damage and impact of Hurricane Sandy to
our district facilities:
o HS East- skylight damaged
o HS North- transformer damaged, trees down
o Intermediate East- JBAC damage
o Beachwood Elementary- fascia damage, trees down
o Cedar Grove Elementary - trees down
o Hooper Avenue Elementary - roof copings damaged, vinyl fence damaged
o North Dover Elementary - roof copings damaged
o Pine Beach Elementary - soffit damage, trees down
o Silver Bay Elementary - skylight damaged
o Walnut Street Elementary - trees down
o West Dover Elementary - fascia damage
o Citta Elementary – missing some roof shingles, fascia and coping damage
We are fortunate that, other than the JBAC (bubble) at Intermediate East, most of
the damage to school buildings from this powerful storm was relatively minor or
superficial. We have already commenced efforts to seek financial recovery for the costs
associated with this storm. We reported to our property insurance the day after the storm
and an adjuster was in contact right away and came out to the sites where we had
damage. Our property insurance deductible is $100k per location and the only site where
we expect to exceed that threshold is currently Intermediate East due to the damage of the
JBAC bubble.
In addition to property damage, many other costs were incurred from this storm,
including the cost of running three shelters during and after the storm and food spoilage
from loss of power. Initial paperwork has already been filed with FEMA and we will be
following through with the submission of all storm-related costs. Given the complexities
of the FEMA filing protocols and with the many available funding options which may not
be obvious or known to us, we are considering utilizing the services of a firm with great
expertise in this area to ensure that we maximize the dollars we can recoup subsequent to
this very serious storm.
Curriculum – Mr. Baxter
Mr. Baxter thanked all the Toms River employees and the students that assisted the
community and shelters with transportation, goods and supplies, it was truly gratifying to
see all our school community as a team come together and help during this tragic time. I
am very proud of every one of you. It’s not often that we have those kinds of things
happen and everybody stepped up to the plate. The community has done an awesome
job.

A Curriculum Committee Meeting of the Board of Education of the Toms River
Regional Schools took place at the Administrative Offices, 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms
River, New Jersey on October 18, 2012, at 6:30 p.m.
Committee Chair Jack Reuther read the following Opening Statement:
“Good Evening, Welcome to a Curriculum Committee Meeting of the Board of
Education of the Toms River Regional Schools.”
“Notice of this meeting was published in the Asbury Park Press on October 12,
2012 which constituted at least 48 hours notice as required by law under the Open Public
Meetings Act.”
In attendance were Committee Member, Jack Reuther. Board Members, Tom
Baxter, Edward Gearity. Superintendent, Frank Roselli, Assistant Superintendents,
James Hauenstein and Debra McKenna, Interim Assistant Superintendent, Joseph A.
Pizza, Director of Funded Program/District Testing Coordinator, Dr. Estee Mailot and,
Business Administrator, William Doering
Dr. Mailot presented the New Jersey ASK test results for grades 3, 4 & 5. Dr.
Mailot explained the scores for Math and Language Arts as to how our District compared
to our District Factor Group (DFG) and State results. Our district continues to maintain
scores at or above the State and DFG in both Math and Language Arts; including most
disaggregated groups.
Dr. Mailot also presented the New Jersey ASK test results for grades 6, 7 & 8. Our
District continues to maintain scores at or above the State and DFG in both Math and
Language Arts; including most disaggregated groups.
Next, Dr. Mailot moved to the HSPA results. As a district, Toms River Regional
Schools performed above District Factor Group and state averages. All three high
schools showed increases in passing scores or remained at the same level as last year.
Additionally, Mr. Hauenstein explained how the Alternate Proficiency Assessment
(APA) is used to test a segment of students with significant cognitive impairments. In
comparison to the state results, our APA scores can be considered outstanding.
In conclusion, Dr. Mailot discussed student growth and factors that contribute to
the diversity of test scores from year to year.
Mr. Hauenstein also reported on the AP results and analysis at the high school
level. We are offering more tests and see more students take the tests over the past 6
years. Students scored above the global average in 14 of 18 administered tests. The
trend in all three high schools is continuing in a positive manner.
The next topic of discussion was the QSAC required approval of District
Curriculum. We are moving towards a national curriculum, the Common Core State
Standards. The PARCC assessment will be used in future testing by the State of New
Jersey. Our teachers worked over the summer to align our curriculum to the new
standards and we are endeavoring to finalize a smooth transition to these newest
standards.
Finally, SAT results were reported displaying an increase in the total number of
students at each high school taking the test. National scores dropped by two points in
5

Toms River, New Jersey, November 20, 2012
total score. The scores at each high school reflected traditional performance of the
individual schools. While scores at Toms River High School South dropped overall,
Toms River High School North scores remained above the national average and Toms
River High School East surpassed both state and national averages.
Insurance – Mrs. Jubert
Mrs. Jubert stated seventeen and one half years and would like to thank the
residents of South Toms River for allowing her the privilege to have served for the
amount of time as their representative to the Toms River Board of Education. I have also
had the privilege to serve these years with some extraordinary members. I will always
feel pride for the many accomplishments we as a Board have been able to achieve. We
endured challenges but the main focus has always been what is best for the students and
staff of this district. I leave these many years behind me next month having one son but
have been blessed with watching so many children grow. God Bless the students and
staff of this district and I thank you for all your support throughout the years.

Superintendent Roselli stated he would like to echo what was said by our student
representatives earlier who very articulately spoke about the volunteer efforts of many of
our staff members, community members and students as well. A good number of our
schools that had families and staff members affected by Hurricane Sandy would speak
the same way. This Board has plans to recognize all of those groups of people and
individuals. We were going to begin tonight and the title of the initiative is “Hurricane
Heroes”. Given the expansive number of people we were going to recognize them over a
three month period, at three separate board meetings. The challenge with tonight is one

of the groups that we were going to recognize had a number of conflicts for good reason
and we just didn’t think it would be right to do it without the total group present. One of
the other individuals that was going to attend was our own police chief and everybody
can understand the strain he has been under. When we looked a little further we decided
to postpone and begin next month. We will bring as many people as we can to our
meeting for public to be aware of and for us to really celebrate and recognize all of their
contributions. This will begin next month. Thank you.
