D
So
I'm
proud
of
two
things
this
year.
So
this
year
on,
the
State
education
department
published
a
checklist
to
make
sure
that
districts
had
all
of
the
required
components
in
the
safety
plan
to
make
sure
that
they
were
there.
So
this
year,
myself
and
Vincent
to
disco
who's,
an
administrator
in
our
office,
we
fundamentally
restructured
our
safety
plan.
So,
while
all
the
components
of
the
safety
plan
have
always
existed
in
our
plan,
it
was
not
in
the
most
sequential
and
logical
order
over
the
years.
D
So
this
year
on,
the
plan
is
for
those
folks
who
are
here
on
Board
of
Education.
You
know
who
are
used
to
reading
a
plan
you're
going
to
notice
that
it's
totally
restructured
and
it
aligns
to
the
sequence
that
the
State
education
department
recommends
so
I'm
very
happy
to
report.
I
mean
I
can
confidently
report
that
all
of
the
elements
of
the
safety
plan,
the
district
safety
plan
that
have
to
be
in
the
plan
or
in
the
plan.
So
we
did
a
really
nice
job.
D
With
that
I
mean
we
have
a
beautiful
new
cover
to
the
plan.
So
if
you
see
the
plan,
it's
different
I
want
to
thank
avanya
for
creating
a
different
color
cover
So.
The
plan
is
we're
branded
it's
restructured
and
it
is
extremely
high
quality.
So
I'm
really
proud
about
that.
D
The
other
thing
that
I'm
really
proud
of
you
know
safety
plans
are
highly
technical
in
nature,
they're,
very
clinical
in
nature.
So
they
describe.
You
know
what
constituents
have
to
do
in
the
event
of
an
emergency.
They
have
to
be
that
way.
What
I'm,
really
proud
of
of
our
plan
in
Brentwood
is
that
it
also
describes
a
very
proactive
approach
to
keeping
people
safe,
and
that
starts
with
always
treating
everybody
with
kindness,
dignity
and
respect.
D
This
afternoon
we
had
a
welcome
a
welcome
back
program
here
on
our
campus
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
any
folks
had
an
opportunity
to
attend,
we
had
over
250
families
sign
up
that
they
were
in
attendance.
We
gave
away
over
500
backpacks,
and
that
is
through
our
Refugee
and
immigrant
student
welcome,
Program
Center
or
staff
members
that
support
homeless
families,
so
Michelle's
stilianos,
Michelle
carrion
Ortiz,
who
am
I
forgetting
Vincent,
Christina
Romero.
D
This
is
how
we
keep
our
constituents
safe.
Our
staff
safe,
our
kids,
safe
communicating
to
the
community
that
we
love
them.
That
they're
welcomed
here,
treating
everybody
with
kindness,
dignity
and
respect.
That
is
just
an
example
of
the
programming
that
exists
in
this
District
to
to
support
student,
social
and
emotional
well-being
to
ensure
that
this
is
a
place
where
children
know
that
they
are
welcome,
that
they
are
supported
where
families
know
that
they
are
welcome,
supported
and
loved
So.
D
The
plan
does
two
things
and
Byron
will
talk
about
doors,
locked
doors,
man,
traps,
silent,
alarms,
all
that
stuff's
important
to
really
keep
kids
and
families
safe.
It
starts
with
being
proactive
and
putting
programming
in
place
to
make
all
kids
and
families
know
that
they
feel
special
here
and
our
plan
does
an
exceptional
job
of
that.
So
for
that
I'm,
proud,
and
with
that
I
will
give
you
Mr
Byron
McRae.
C
Once
again,
good
evening
and
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
a
few
different,
the
recent
changes
and
the
meat
of
the
safety
plan
I'm,
going
to
start
off
by
discussing
the
Amendments
that
are
that
took
place
this
year
received
notification
of
amendment
to
the
law
2801a,
where
Alyssa's
law
will
be
enforced.
They
suggest
that
we
have
Panic
buttons
within
our
school
district
and
Brentwood
is
ahead
of
the
curve.
C
We
already
had
panic
buttons
installed
approximately
two
years
ago,
so
what
we
did
was
we
updated
those
Panic
buttons
and
we
rolled
it
out
with
the
new
features,
and
these
panic
buttons
will
be
operational
once
the
kids
start
attendance,
September
6.,
so
that's
one
thing
that
we're
ahead
of
the
curve.
Another
thing
that's
included
in
the
safety
plans
this
year
is
the
emergency
remote
instruction
plan.
This
plan
requires
the
school
district
if
they
close
school,
to
notify
State
Ed
and
to
also
during
the
reopening
to
notify
its
data.
C
It
also
has
some
other
things:
that's
included
in
that
update,
which
is
a
survey
reporting
availability
of
devices
which
devices
have
to
be
issued
to
the
students
ahead
of
time.
Just
in
case,
we
do
run
into
another
Public
Health
crisis.
C
The
operation
plan
includes
establishing
a
enforced
work
Workforce
this
year,
Central
workers,
these
essential
workers
will
be
working
during
the
time
of
Crisis
or
the
public
health
emergency
and
will
have
in
stock
PPE,
which
is
mask
and
any
other
additional
equipment.
That's
needed
during
a
Public
Health
crisis
and
if
you
know
one
of
the
staff
members
essential
workers
are,
you
know,
infected
by
whatever
disease
that
at
that
time
the
district
will
provide
housing.
So
they
don't
return
home
and
you
know
hopefully
they'll
recuperate
in
that
public
housing
or
hotel.
C
Will
we
will
definitely
establish
guidelines
and
some
of
the
guidelines
are
which
we
created
for
covet
is
training,
sanitary
etiquette,
cleaning,
maintaining
the
facilities
and,
of
course,
isolation,
and
this
is
how
we
dealt
with
covid
and
hopefully
we
don't
have
another
Public
Health
crisis,
but
these
things
are
still
in
effect
because
we
are
still
dealing
with
covet
School
closure
myself
and
Sue
Versa
who's.
C
The
medical
director
will
conference
with
the
superintendent
like
we
did
before
when
we
met
with
Rich,
and
we
discussed
whether
you
know
we
should
close
the
school
temporarily.
If
we
run
into
a
Health
crisis
or
like
some
type
of
Public
Health
crisis
will
evaluate.
Of
course,
you
know
how
many
people
are
actually
sick
who
evaluate
if
we
need
to
clean
the
school
and
how
long
it
will
take
us
to
clean
the
school.
We
have
a
great
facilities
director
so
he's
on
top
of
things.
C
The
protocols
to
address
instances
of
wandering
and
elopement
we've
instituted
a
lot
of
different
things
to
combat
elopement
and
wandering
right
now,
we're
still
in
the
process
of
installing
the
door
tabs.
We
had
a
minor
setback
because
the
door
tabs
were
basically
on
hold
because
of
covet
and
everybody's
ordering
these
door
tabs.
So,
finally,
we
got
enough
door
tabs
in
recently
to
start
installing
we're
going
to
be
installing
additional
cameras
and
the
great
thing
about
these
door
tabs
these
door
tabs.
Once
you
open
that
door,
the
camera
will
go
to
that
door.
C
So
we'll
know
which
student
left
the
building
almost
immediately
and
we
created
a
team
that
will
be
dispatched
within
minutes
to
address
any
issue
of
a
student
elopement
or
wandering
it.
Just
so
happens.
We
had
a
few
elopements
last
year
and
we
were
able
to
you,
know,
wrap
up
the
student
and
bring
them
back
to
school
almost
immediately
within
a
short
time
frame,
and
we
didn't
even
have
the
assistance
of
the
local
police
department.
You
know
with
the
administrators
in
the
building
with
school
safety
and
the
team
that
we
developed
it
was.
C
C
The
district-wide
school
safety
plan
sets
policies
and
protocols
for
a
multitude
of
safety
issues,
including
naming
the
chief
emergency
officer,
which
is
myself,
and
these
issues
include
reacting
to
threats
of
in
acts
of
violence.
Definitely,
we
communicate
with
law
enforcement,
parents
and
Guardians.
We
establish
prevention
programs
which
we're
working.
We've
established
a
lot
of
different
programs
to
help
our
kids
through.
We
no
longer
challenge
kids
in
the
hallway
and
say
go
to
class.
C
We
try
to
find
out
what
the
issues
are
before
we
send
them
back
to
class
or
before
we
bring
them
to
administrator
or
Dean,
and
you
know
we
look
to
help
them
and
not
hurt
them,
and
we
also
want
to
include
them
in
the
process
of
their
education.
They
want
to
be
part
of
their.
You
know,
educational
process,
so
school
security
staff
they've
definitely
been
trained
to
deal
with
certain
situations.
C
We
have
our
normal
safety
drills,
which
we'll
discuss
in
the
next
few
slides,
which
were
required
to
have
12
drills
a
year
and
also
we
have
preventive
programs
earlier
risk
information,
and
this
year
we're
not
going
to
just
train
our
staff,
we're
going
to
also
train
the
community,
because
we
a
lot
of
our
community
members
when
they
hear
about
an
alarm
going
off
in
our
building
or
a
possible
lockdown
or
lockout.
They
tend
to
want
to
come
up
to
our
schools
and
pick
up
their
their
child.
C
What
we
want
to
do
this
year
is
explain
to
them
that
if
there's
a
real
situation
you
coming
up
to
a
school
can
prevent
the
police
from
responding
in
a
timely
manner
so
and
they're
blocking
up
the
streets
and
parking
legally.
So
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
train
our
community
and
not
coming
up
to
the
school
immediately.
I
know
it's
Instinct,
but
you
know,
with
the
proper
training.
C
They'll
get
a
better
understanding,
additional
required
information
safety
plan,
the
building
level,
emergency
response
plans
must
have
protocols
in
the
crisis
of
evacuating
Sheltering,
locking
down
evacuation
routes
and
shelter
sites,
and
also
you
know,
addressing
medical
needs.
These
are
things
that
are
important
because
a
lot
of
our
administrators,
our
principals
and
assistant
principals,
what
they're
doing
is
establishing
locations
they
can
go
to
outside
of
the
school,
and
some
of
them
are
pretty
far
from
the
school
building.
C
So
it's
important
that
you
know
we
go
out
and
we
visit
these
sites
and
you
know
like
kudos
to
Southwest,
because
you
know
we
actually
did
a
an
amazing
job
at
transporting
our
students
in
a
drill
and
we
train
the
teachers
and
the
staff
members.
First
on
this
drill
and
it's
important
that
we
continue
doing
this
and
train
our
staff
first
before
we
take
our
students
out
to
these
evacuation
sites.
C
Required
School
drills,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
where
we
have
required
to
have
12
drills.
Eight
of
them
are
fire
drills,
which
are
evacuation,
drills,
a
minimum
of
four
lockdown
drills,
which
can
be
locked
out
or
locked
down.
Now.
Eight
of
these
drills
have
to
be
done
by
December
1st,
so
I
do
call
around
and
I
do
ask
if
we've
completed
all
drills,
they
do
notify
the
security
desk,
so
I
do
keep
track
of
the
drills.
C
Now
the
definitions
of
the
terminologies
that
we
use
in
our
school
district
is
shelter
in
place.
Now
this
was
created.
Basically,
if
there
was
some
type
of
weather-related
incident,
where
a
tornado
or
severe
thunderstorm
was
something
that
you
know
could
reach
our
facilities.
So
that's
shelter
in
place
hold
in
place
as
if
there's
an
emergency
like
we
have
a
flood
in
the
hallway.
We
have
to
clean
up
with
some
type
of
medical
emergency.
C
C
So
we
know
that
you're
outside
the
building,
if
you
have
to
return,
if
you're
on
a
lunch
break
or
something
like
that,
so
also,
we
just
installed
eight
new
shot
spotters
in
our
school
buildings,
which
I'll
share
with
the
administrators
later
on,
whereas
if
there's
a
shooting
or
anything
within
close
proximity
of
the
school,
we
will
be
notified
and
I'll
be
able
to
lock
down
the
school
immediately.
So
these
shot
spotters
are
important
that
were
installed
in
our
nearby
facility
schools,
and
we
didn't
have
to
pay
for
this.
The
police
department
paid
for
this
lockdown.
C
These
lockdowns
are
basically
the
threats
inside
the
building.
Now
a
lot
of
our
we
created
this
program
where
we
have
additional
law
enforcement
offices,
active
and
retired
Law
Enforcement
Officers
working
in
our
school
district.
These
law
enforcement
officers
are
trained
to
respond
to
any
type
of
situation
where
we
have
a
threat
within
the
school
building.
C
What
they
did
this
summer
was
they
went
around
and
learned
every
single
corner
of
your
building
in
the
school
district,
so
if
they
have
to
respond
how
to
enter
how
to
respond-
and
this
was
with
Suffolk
County
Police
Department-
we
had
two
offices
with
us.
They
learned
the
buildings
as
well.
Our
SRO
is
very
familiar
with
our
buildings.
Now
he
didn't
wasn't
familiar
with,
he
didn't
even
know.
Southwest
had
a
full
second
floor,
so
you
know
it's
important
that
everyone
learns
the
buildings,
especially
all
new
school
safety
offices
as
they
hired.
C
This
is
all
district-wide
safety
team.
It's
comprised
of
the
cabinet
members,
the
administrators
union
leaders
and
people
who
can
actually
give
some
valid
input,
and
we
also
have
community
members
part
of
this
to
represent
the
community.
So
if
we
have
to
basically,
you
know,
assess
certain
things,
assess
vulnerability,
recommend
you
know
some
proactive
approaches
to
different
situations.
We
have
everyone's
input,
this.
Basically
it's
self-explanatory.
You
know
we
communicate
the
plan
to
the
staff,
students
and
members
and
respective
organizations
once
we
develop
this
plan
and
after
this
hopefully
we'll
be
posting
the
district-wide
safety
plans.
C
Now
these
are
our
cooperating
agencies
and
local
governmental
agencies.
I've
actually
met
with
every
single
Agency
on
this
list
and
all
the
leaders
of
this
on
this
list,
I
reached
out
to
them
to
get
the
correct
information
to
give
to
Vincent
Tedesco
I
actually
spoke
to
them.
I
asked
them.
Would
it
be
okay
if
we
do
have
an
emergency
that
we
reach
out
to
you
and
they
actually
gave
us
direct
numbers?
Some
of
them
gave
us
their
numbers,
but
they
gave
us
our
extension,
their
extensions
to
reach
out
to
them.
C
So
you
know
it's
important
that
we
have
relationships
with
the
different
agencies.
Just
in
case
we
do
have
an
emergency
within
the
school
district.
These
are
some
violent
prevention
policies.
That's
within
our
school
district.
We
have
Dasa,
we
have
our
save
legislation.
We
have
our
code
of
conduct
violent
incident
reporting.
We
do
fingerprint
all
employees
of
the
school
district.
C
We
are
mandatory
reporters
in
the
school
district
for
child
abuse
and
we
also
have
whistleblower
protection,
and
with
this
you
know,
we've
created
an
anonymous
line
with
the
students
and
anyone
in
the
community
can
call,
and
if
they
don't
want
to
leave
their
information,
they
can
leave
information
for
us
to
investigate.
Just
in
case
a
student
has
a
weapon
in
our
building.
C
Another
student
can
tell
us
anonymously
because
they
don't
want
to
be
known
as
a
snitch,
so
we
do
have
these
things
in
place:
promoting
safe
schools,
the
Brentwood
Union
Free,
School,
District,
priorities
of
a
multitude
of
resources
to
promote
non-violent
School
climate.
We
have
guidance,
counselors,
School,
social
workers,
School
psychology,
so
School,
psychologists
and
also
school
safety,
you
know
would
be
definitely
are
going
to
use
a
conflict
resolution.
This
is
big
within
School,
District
character
and
educational
programs
and
health
curriculum
that
focuses
on
skill,
development
and
problem.
C
Solving
and
Crisis
Prevention
intervention
training
for
staff.
So
all
of
our
administrators,
which
we
started
earlier
in
the
summer
and
majority
of
our
school
safety
offices,
have
been
trained
in
CPI
and
some
of
the
administrators
have
been
trained.
Hopefully,
over
the
next
month,
everyone
will
be
trained
in
CPI,
especially
our
administrators,
our
administrators
and
then
we'll
filter
it
down
to
all
teachers
and
whoever
else
needs
to
be
trained
in
CPI
the
programs
to
promote
positive
School
climate.
C
You
know
we
have
the
the
PPS
grant
that
I'm
gonna
let
to
talk
about
the
grant,
but
then
I'll
talk
about
the
rest.
We
have
my
brother's
keeper,
strong
youth,
Girls,
Inc,
restorative
practices,
pal
friendship,
Club,
the
great
program-
and
you
know
positive
interventions
and
support.
We've
also
recently
created
a
boxing
program.
We
have
our
youth
Police
Academy
within
the
school
district
and
it's
kind
of
crazy,
because
now
Suffolk
County
Police
Department's
trying
to
recruit
our
students
to
join
their
program
and
it's
working
out
just
great.
D
Oh,
so
this
is
a
non-exhaustive,
non-exhaustive
list
of
some
of
the
programs
that
we
Institute
here
in
Brentwood
to
establish
relationships
and
rapport
with
children
that
allow
children
to
establish
relationships
and
rapport
with
one
another,
our
staff
to
establish
relationship
and
rapport
with
families.
D
So
just
a
few
of
the
programs
that
we
put
in
place
to
support
student,
social
and
emotional
well-being
to
communicate
to
children
that
this
is
a
place
where
they
really
belong,
build
identity
with
the
school
district,
and
in
that
way,
in
that
proactive
way,
it
is
a
very
effective
and
Powerful
tool
to
ensure
safety
for
everybody
in
the
school
district.
B
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
that
in-depth
presentation.
It
was
very
informative,
I'm
sure
all
of
us
learned
something
we
didn't
know,
and
the
parents
who
are
listening
learned
something
they
didn't
know,
and
we
look
forward
to
you
guys,
engaging
the
community
and
bringing
them
into
the
fold
and
letting
them
know
about
our
lockdowns,
lockouts
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
that,
like
you,
said
earlier
on
that
they're
not
running
to
the
campus
and
probably
creating
a
worse
situation
like
you
said
it's
parental
Instinct
right,
but
we
want
to
keep
everyone
safe.
E
Thank
you
Vincent
and
Byron.
That
was
fantastic.
I
would
like
to
comment.
They
are
you
know
Vincent
and
Vincent
Tedesco.
The
work
they
do
in
the
funded
program
is
outstanding
and
Byron.
I
know
I've
said
this
before
we
could
not
ask
for
a
better
director
of
security.
He
really
does
eat
sleep
and
drink
kid
safety,
so
we're
really
blessed
to
have
both
of
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
B
E
Okay,
the
the
rule
is
typically.
Obviously,
if
you
know
you
come
to
us
with
no
experience,
we
typically
hire
on
step.
One
step
two,
however,
that
there
are
some
degrees
that
are
more
competitive,
for
example,
and
I'm,
not
certainly
going
to
get
the
complete
list,
but,
let's
say
for
argument's
sake,
I
bilingual
guidance
counselor,
for
example,
may
be
difficult
to
obtain,
and
sometimes
quite
frankly,
we
have
to.
We
have
to
expand
the
possibility.
E
So,
instead
of
step
three
or
step
four
I
might
have
to
go
to
step
five
because
we
might
be
in
type
some
type
of
competitive
situation
with
another
District
I
will
say
that
we
get
a
lot
of
teachers
from,
for
example,
the
Department
of
Education,
the
city
schools.
Some
of
them
will
come
with
eight
nine
ten
years
of
experience.
Now
there
we
do
have
a
formula
that
was
in
place
long
before
I
got
here,
and
that
is
we'll
give
you
one
year
for
every
two
years
up
to
up
to
step.
Five.
E
So
let's
say
for
argument's
sake,
you
have
eight
years
in
the
Department
of
Education
will
give
you
step
four
here
now
they
might
have.
Obviously,
they
probably
have
a
master's
degree,
so
it
would
be
Master's
step
four
up
to
year.
10
then
we'll
probably
I'll
go
to
year.
Five
again
in
certain
situations
we
do
have
you
know
again
it's
competitive,
it's
a
difficult
degree
to
get
and
I
have
gone
as
high
as
step
six
I
I,
don't
know
if
I've
ever
gone
higher
than
step
six.
What
happens
is
you
know?
E
F
Do
have
a
comment
about
that
answer,
so
the
reason
why
I
asked
the
question
is
going
back
to
a
young
lady
named
Janelle
Greenwood,
who
I
came
to
the
Board
of
Education
about
four
years
ago,
specifically
about
this
issue
of
her
having
10
plus
years
of
experience
at
a
prior
district
and
her
starting
on
step.
Five
I
was
told
that
that
was
the
maximum
step
back
then
that
a
person
would
start
at
and
then
I'm
looking
here
and
I
see
number
four
starting
at
step.
Seven
number
16
is
starting
at
step.
F
F
E
F
Well,
okay,
so
as
someone
who's,
an
advocate
for
African,
Americans
and
I,
have
a
group
of
people
of
color.
Certainly
I
would
want
to
know
for
sure
what
the
rule
is
and
certainly
African-Americans
should
not
be
started
here
at
a
lower
rate
than
others.
I
explained
back
then,
and
I
see
it
here
in
front
of
me
that
if
a
person
has
10
years
and
you're
giving
them
two
years
for
every
one
year,
that
means
that
you
should
be
starting
them
at
step.
F
F
If
that
is
true,
then
miss
Greenwood
is
certainly
owed,
something
to
be
made
whole
because
she
had
10
plus
years,
and
we
started
at
step
five
when
the
rule
here
is
to
credit
people
for
two
for
one
on
this
on
a
scale,
and
so
if
this
is
all
you
know
due
to
the
two
for
one,
then
certainly
that
the
number
of
six
sixes
here
and
there
is
even
a
seven.
So
you
go
beyond
that.
F
You're
recommending
that
tonight
that
certainly
smells
funny
doesn't
pass
a
smell
test
on
Race,
because
I
made
it
very
clear
that
she
was
African-American
very
clear
that
she.
F
Thank
you
that
she
should
have
been
credited
with
that
step.
E
C
G
G
Of
miss
queen
with
that
Mr
Moss
has
mentioned
several
times
and
I
also
need
to
add
the
fact
that
you
have
never
made
any
statement
to
the
effect
that
there's
discretion
based
on
an
applicant's
race.
So
I
just
want
us
to
be
very
clear
that
that
was
not
at
all
part
of
anything
that
you
said
and
that's
not
part
of
the
criteria
that
you're
looking
at.
When
you
decide
what
step
a
person
is
going
to
be
placed
on.

function.
F
B
B
E
I
do
actually
Dr
Leone
mentioned
our
kickoff
this
afternoon
out
in
the
front
of
the
building.
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
volunteered.
It
really
was
an
incredible
event.
The
first
of
many
over
the
next
few
weeks,
we'll
have
lots
of
events,
not
just
here
at
Central,
but
across
the
district
as
schools
welcome,
kids
and
families
back
to
the
district.
It's
really
going
to
be
a
kind
of
an
electric
few
weeks.
E
It
usually
is,
but
I
do
have
other
announcements
as
well:
Pine
Park,
principal
Rosa
Nieves
was
honored
at
the
office
of
legislator,
Sammy
Gonzalez
on
August
10th
for
Ecuadorian
Independence
Day,
Miss
Nieves
was
cited
for
her
dedication
to
our
district
and
her
embracing
of
cultural
heritage
at
Pine,
Park
and
I
was
there
for
the
for
the
proclamation
given
to
miss
Nieves.
It
really
was
a
beautiful
ceremony
and
she
is
very
much
deserving
of
the
proclamation
in
the
recognition.
E
Brentwood
High
School
just
last
week
celebrated
the
graduation
of
a
hundred
and
four
students
from
the
summer
school
program.
This
week
at
sunling
Auditorium,
the
class
of
2023
is
represented
well
and
featured
heavily
in
the
new
edition
of
the
Brentwood
bulletin,
which
was
delivered
to
homes
in
the
past
week.
I
do
want
to
thank
Mr,
Chang
Dr
Rodriguez,
all
of
the
teachers
involved
in
summer
school,
incredible
number
104.
That
number
has
been
growing
over
the
last
few
years
and
we're
very
proud
of
those
students.
E
A
Brentwood,
High
School
student
was
selected
to
the
spring
2023
National
Education
Equity
lab
Honor
Society
on
Wednesday
class
of
2023
graduate
Stacy
mondellis
received
the
recognition
for
placing
in
the
top
20
percent
of
her
dual

Equity
lab
course,
poetry

America
foundations

held

Arizona,
State
University.
So
congratulations
to
Stacy
Brentwood
held
its
annual
new
teacher
orientation
yesterday
and
today,
welcoming
150
new
Educators
to
the
district.
The
educators
will
help
with
one
of
the
new
initiatives
in
the
district,
which
is
a
nine
period
day
for
middle
schools.
E
It
really
was
a
wonderful
event.
Yesterday
the
BTA
met
with
the
teachers,
and
today
the
administration
met
with
the
teachers.
I
had
an
opportunity
to
be
there,
miss
Ortiz,
Miss,
Young,
actually,
all
of
the
administrators
here
were
there.
It
was
really
terrific
and,
as
I've
said
in
the
last
few
years,
I'm
very
proud
of
the
teachers
that
we've
hired
and
continue
to
hire
and
I
am
very
confident
that
this
group
of
teachers
is
really
going
to
bring
us
forward.
You
know
for
the
next
20
30
years
in
such
a
terrific
way.
E
They
seem
to
be
an
energetic,
bright,
wonderful
group,
so
I'm
really
really
happy.
We
celebrated
the
kickoff
to
back
to
school
cool.
Okay
I
already
mentioned
that
I
think
I
did
I
also
want
to
kind
of
go
off
script.
Here
we
have
lots
of
stuff
happening
around
the
district.
I
want
to
thank
Miss,
Ortiz,
Mr,
Cruz
I'm,
sorry,
I
said
Miss
Ortiz
I
looked
at
Miss
O'connor
I'm,
going
to
thank
everybody.
Miss
O'connor
I
want
to
thank
you
and
Mr
Mr
Cruz,
that's
I'm,
breaking
I'm
cracking.
A
E
Here
and
Mr
Cruz
and
actually
everybody
in
buildings
and
grounds
we
have
construction
going
on
virtually
everywhere
and
and
Stacy.
You
sent
me
the
pictures
of
the
Ross
center
today,
which
is
very
funny
because
I
I
was
there
yesterday,
checking
on
the
progress
and
Stacy
and
I
were
speaking
last
night
were
like
oh,
my
God
I,
don't
think
it
can
get
done
today,
she's
there
and
it's
finished
I
have
no
idea
how
they
pulled
that
off
and
wouldn't.
E
It's
a
lot
better,
but
I
I'm,
going
to
attempt
to
list
some
of
the
items
that
are
some
of
the
the
things
that
are
happening
across
the
district,
because
all
of
them
are
great
for
kids
and
great
for
the
school
Community
things
to
be
very,
very
proud
of.
Let's
start
with
the
the
big
one
over
here
on
the
on
the
side
of
this
building.
E
I'm
sure
you
have
all
noticed
when
you
pull
in
there's
a
a
green
fence
around
the
what
used
to
be
the
old,
the
old
girls,
soccer
and
lacrosse
field,
the
turf
field.
Construction
is
well
underway.
Every
day
there
are,
you
know,
big
bulldozers
and
cranes
out
there
moving
dirt
around
very
exciting
it's
beginning
to
take
shape.
E
We
hope
that
the
turf
will
be
put
down
soon
and
hopefully
by
the
end
of
October,
maybe
the
beginning
of
November,
all
right
you're
making
a
face
at
me,
but
we
can
always
be
hopeful,
but
it's
really
moving
at
a
nice
clip
and
we
hope
before
Christmas
yeah,
okay
before
Christmas
the
that's
phase,
one
obviously
phase
two
and
then
phase
three
will
begin
shortly
after
that
and
soon
we
will
transform
that
entire
property
behind
the
high
school
will
be
a
complex
I.
Think
I've
said
this
before.
E
That
will
be
the
Envy
of
high
schools
and
universities
on
Long
Island.
It's
gonna
be
spectacular
and
very
much
deserved
by
this
community.
We
have
our
family
and
consumer
science
classrooms,
I've,
gotten
a
new
countertops
new
new
counters,
new
cabinets,
new
flooring,
it's
just
a
new,
obviously
stoves
and
Equipment,
absolutely
beautiful,
beautiful
stuff.
E
We
also
have
our
science
rooms
that
are
well
underway.
We
have
oh,
my
gosh
I'm,
beginning
to
oh.
We
have
parking
lots
that
are
that
continue
to
be
redone.
Help
me
out
States
gyms,
oh
my
God.
That's
right!.
E
Is
way
to
you
see
us,
this
was
a
good
one.
I
really
love
this.
So
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
sondling
gymnasium
and
the
Ross
gymnasium,
we
added
something
to
the
three-point
line
which
I
remember.
We
talked
about
this
last
year
we
said
I.
We
have
to
bring
this
to
Brentwood,
so
they
have
almost
it's
like
a
mahogany
on
the
outline,
and
it
is
the
coolest
looking
thing
so.
The
sondling
and
the
Ross
floors
have
been
redone
repainted
and
they
look
spectacular
also
when
you're
over
there
at
the
sondling
and
yeah.
E
We
just
need
some
good
coaches
out
there
for
the
badminton
teams,
as
I
continue
to
bust
Miss
D
Marie
jobs,
but
so
we
also
when
you're
over
there
at
the
sondling.
You
have
to
take
a
look
up
and
you
will
also
see
our
huge
whatever.
What
is
that
thing
called
there,
the
it's,
the
TV,
it's
the.
E
See
my
mind
is
fried.
It
is
really
fried
here
tonight,
so
the
Jumbotron
is
absolutely
beautiful.
You
combine
that
with
the
floor.
Oh
my
God,
it's!
It
is
just
really
quite
remarkable,
quite
beautiful
what
else
Stacy.
H
E
My
and
something
that's
not
so
you
know
flashy,
but
we
have
the
HVAC
units
that
are
going
in
all
over
the
district,
the
HVAC
you
know
for
you,
you
know.
If
you
ever
go
into
a
classroom,
you
see
that
big
old
Monster
by
the
window-
that's
your
air
conditioning
or
what
or
it's
it's
really
designed
to
move
air
and
heat,
and
many
of
them
were
extremely
old.
So
we
purchased
new
HVAC
systems
and
they're
being
installed.
E
It's
really
quite
an
operation
to
pull
them
out
and
put
them
back
in
really
spectacular.
We
also
have
offices,
since
we
have
added
quite
a
number
of
support
staff,
School,
psychologists,
social
workers,
guidance
counselors
that
also
necessitated
the
building
of
lots
of
office
space
around
the
district
and
I
again,
I
want
to
thank
Mike
Cruz
and
his
entire.
You
know
team.
They
have
built
some
beautiful
offices
beginning
last
year,
all
over
the
district.
E
You
know
Finding,
you
know
great
little
spots
to
put
offices
up,
and
you
know
remember
that
just
that
requires
obviously
electric
work
besides
sheetrock
and
walls
and
and
they
really
have
done
a
remarkable
job
reconfiguring
so
many
spaces,
and
we
have
our
special
services
which
really
under
Miss
Young's
Vision,
which
has
really
been
terrific,
I
I.
Her
vision
for
that
space
really
was
remarkable
and
is
continues
to
be
remarkable.
It's
almost
finished
almost
finished
and
it
really
was
Miss
Young's,
Vision
I,
don't
know
how
she
saw
what
she
saw.
E
It
really
was
quite
a
move,
so
we're
going
to
have
a
spectacular
special
services
and
hopefully
a
parking
lot,
an
extended
parking
lot
for
visitors
and
staff
members
and.
H
E
Lot
of
a
lot
of
new
hallways
you
ever
and
the
Ross
is
going
to
be,
and
obviously
I
was
in
the
Ross
for
a
long
long
time
and
the
Ross
is
the
the
hallways,
which
have
always
been
something.
You
know
the
Ross
students
and
staff
members
would
say
it's
kind
of
dark.
It's
getting
a
whole
new
facelift
and
it's
going
to
be,
you
know
quite
nice,
it's
going
to
be
much
brighter
a
much
brighter
and
making
it
a
bigger
feel.
Also
bathrooms.
E
We've
done
quite
a
few
bathrooms
across
the
district
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
You
know
but
remember.
The
bathrooms
in
school
districts
unfortunately
require
abatement
prior
to
actually
building
them,
which
is
very
costly
and
lengthy
in
time.
But
we
undertake
that
and
under
Stacy's
guidance
we
kind
of
do
a
few
every
year,
which
is
nice
and
also
in
the
silent
cafeteria
we're
doing
the
senior.
B
On
September
13th
at
6
PM,
the
Water
Authority
will
present
at
the
Brentwood
Public
Library
on
water
quality
conservation
and
sources,
and
they
will
welcome
questions
from
the
community
so
that
again
will
be
held
on
September
13th
at
6
PM
in
the
Brentwood
Public
Library,
the
Water
Authority
is
coming
to
town
to
give
a
presentation
to
our
community
on
the
water
quality
conservation
and
sources.
Also
I
know
there
was
a
picture
circulating
on
social
media
regarding
the
Freshman
Campus.
B
Really
big
just
happened
in
the
consent
agenda.
We
have
changed
our
freshman
center
name
to
the
Brentwood
High
School
freshman
campus,
so
we
will
no
longer
be
known
as
The
Freshman
Center
really
exciting.
It
gives
a
different
I
think
connotation
to
what
is
transpiring
at
that
school.
Let's
just
say
that
yeah,
the
freshman
campus
right.
B
Everyone
to
know
that
high
school
begins
at
the
Freshman,
Campus
and
Center
seems
to
have
a
derogatory
term.
You
know
we
Link
Center,
as
Miss
zafiri
reminded
me
to
rehab
centers.
You
know
never
really
Detention
Center,
you
know
so
now
we're
kind
of
trying
to
change
the
image
of
the
Freshman
Campus.
So
it's
an
exciting
time
right
that.
B
E
So
obviously
it's
Miss
Felix,
you
know
perfectly
said
we.
We
are
really
trying
to
connect
the
Freshman
Center
to
the
high
school.
It
is
the
the
beginning
of
high
school
for
our
kids
and
it's
just
in
a
different
location.
Not
unlike
you
know
many
colleges
and
universities.
They
have
different
locations.
The
University
of
Penn
State,
you
know,
comes
to
mind.
There
are
nine
or
11
different
campuses,
part
of
Penn
State,
here,
you're
part
of
the
high
school.
It's
the
Freshman
Campus.
B
And
with
that
there
was
a
picture
circulating
on
social
media
with
a
brick
background
with
a
bison
or
Bowl
breaking
through
it,
and
it
said
Brentwood
High,
School,
Freshman,
Campus,
High
School
starts
here
and
it
kind
of
set
off
a
frenzy
on
social
media
media
people
were
thinking
that
this
is
our
new
logo.
It
is
not.
It
is
not
our
new
logo,
it
was
a
piece
of
art
created
by
a
student.
It
was
just
something
strictly
for
the
Freshman
Campus,
so
we
have
not
even
begun
that
process.
B
E
E
The
district
does
have
to
2025
to
the
end
of
not
this
school
year
coming
up
that
school
year,
2425,
that's
actually
when
it
has
to
take
place.
Obviously
I
think
the
board
has
the
intention
to
begin
working
on
it
early
next
school
year,
but
just
so
a
lot
of
people
ask
me,
you
know,
is
it
changing?
Is
it
changing?
Is
it
changing
the
board
and
the
community
will
make
that
decision
soon
enough,
but
we're
really
not
obligated
to
do
it
until
June
of
2025
right.
B
I
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
joke
for
its
Brentwood
resident
I'd
like
to
extend
my
congratulations
to
Mr
loshna
I
want
to
wish
you
the
best
and
what
luck
in
your
new
Endeavor,
I
think
and
I
also
like
to
compliment
the
new
person
who's
going
to
be
the
Miss
Ortiz
upon
your
new
position
as
the
temporary
superintendent
I
think
that
it's
the
concepts
which
we
have
right
here
in
terms
of
advancement.
It
leads
a
lot
to
me.
A
I
I
also
want
to
thank
you,
Mr
loshner
for
and
the
rest
of
the
board
for
your
bringing
about
the
golf
team
I
happen
to
see
our
new
golf
coach
on
the
Brentwood
Golf
Course
several
days
ago
with
his
team
with
their
parents
practicing
over
on
the
ninth
green
at
the
Brentwood
Country
Club.
E
A
E
So,
while
yesterday
after
work,
I
went
over,
there
I
met
my
son,
Brentwood
Golf,
Course,
Brentwood,
Country
Club,
and
we're
playing
okay
and
we're
like
on
the
third
or
fourth
hole
and
across
the
Fairway
there
is
a
mob
of
kids
carrying
their
golf
bags
and
Mr
Hudson
is
ushering
them
along.
They
had
to
be
about
15
kids
on
one
hole,
I,
don't
know
how
he
gets
away
with
it,
but
they
love
him
over
there
guess
what
that's
on
his
own
time,
that
is
on
his
own
time,
I'm.
E
I
E
Really
was
I
I
used
to
be
complimented
on
that
it
was
really
I'm
telling
my
son.
They
were
too
far
away
from
because
for
one
I'm
like
what
is
this
mob
of
people
walking
down
the
valley,
it's
not
something.
You
usually
see
I'm
like
how
great
is
this.
Those
are
Brentwood,
kids,
all
carrying
golf
bags
hitting
golf
balls.
It
was
really
cool
really.
I
I
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention.
It
did
bear
fruit
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
Mr
Hudson
myself
went
to
Islip
town
and
asked
them
as
to
whether
they
consider
doing
this
in
the
event
that
we
have
a
golf
team
and
they
followed
through.
So
you
know,
it
was
something
which
you
bore
fruit
and
and
I
suspect.
In
the
next
several
years.
We
will
see
some
golf
scholarships
come
out.
No
doubt.
I
It's
certainly
worthwhile
Miss
Calderon
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
I,
remember
speaking
to
your
son
when
he
was
first
on
the
board,
and
he
told
me
he
was
on
the
golf
team
and
it
was
to
me
it
touched
the
vein
because
he
he
knew
what
it
was
like
to
to
play.
Golf
I
also
like
to
just
leave
with
encourage
I,
haven't
heard
anything
about
it
and
I
didn't
attend.
I
Last
month's
meeting
there
was
supposed
to
be
a
presentation
as
to
the
the
driver's
education
program
it
may
be
held
in
advance,
but
I
certainly
want
to
encourage
the
board
and
the
the
superintendent
to
bring
this
out
make
it
happen,
because
here
again,
this
is
a
program
which
will
be
a
means
within
which
for
the
Brentwood
student
can
attain
a
course
in
driver's
ed,
learn
how
to
drive
properly
and
also
do
so
at
the
expense
of
us
who
are
providing
the
education.
So
I
certainly
appreciate
it.
I
You
know
I'll
make
it
a
point
to
bring
to
your
attention
again,
but
I
just
want
it
is.
If
there's
any
movement
afoot,
I
certainly
would
appreciate
any
comments.
Okay,.
E
You
very
much
I
do
want
to
say
Mr
fretz.
You
know
I
really
want
to
thank
you.
E
First
of
all
for
the
kind
words,
but
really,
if
you're
a
study
in
public
advocacy,
because
you
did
start
this
three
four
five
years
ago
about
the
golf
team
and
I
I,
absolutely
appreciate
it
and
I
tell
you
what
I
agree
with
you
I
think
we're
going
to
get
quite
a
few
golf
scholarships,
so
your
advocacy
and
Ron
Hudson's
effort
really
should
be
applauded
if
we
can
give
them
a
round
of
applause
because
you
really
do
deserve
it.
B
Okay,
Mr
Morris.
F
F
Know
I
haven't
been
back
at
these
board
meetings
for
a
while
and
my
first
board
meeting
back
I'm
a
little
concerned
to
see
walking.
Agendas
come
in
with
people
being
voted
in
as
assistant
principals
in
the
community,
not
having
opportunity
to
make
comment
or
ask
questions
about
that
agenda
item.
F
Certainly,
the
community
should
have
a
right
to
ask
a
question
about
anything
that
is
going
to
be
before
the
Board
of
Education
and
that's
the
policy
to
walk
in
an
agenda
item
that
we
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
see
to
stand
before
you
and
construct
a
question
that
we
have
to
do
either
online
or
here
once
we
see
a
piece
of
paper
that
you
may
leave,
or
in
this
case
I
don't
think
it
was
left
back
there
if
it
came
in
after
I
came
in.
F
F
We
certainly
need
more
than
24
hours
for
an
agenda
to
go
online
and
certainly
more
than
no
time
at
all
to
be
able
to
ask
questions
at
the
board
of
education,
and
so
you
know
I'm
here,
because
I
want
to
be
a
part.
A
vocal
part
of
this
community
I'm,
a
parent
here,
I'm
a
resident
and
taxpayer
here
and
I,
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
going
backwards
in
the
way
we
treat
the
community.
So
I
would
like
us
to
work
together,
but
certainly
under
the
circumstances
of
being
transparent,.
A
A
So
every
single
person
in
this
room
understand
that
this
board
has
made
changes
for
us
and
the
future
of
our
kids.
I
am
grateful
for
what
you
do
every
single
day,
because
the
position
is
very
hard
and
whether
it's
someone
as
yourself
or
maybe
somebody
that's
sitting
in
a
seat.
It
will
never
be
easy,
but
you
have
to
accept
that
you're
willing
to
do
it
because
you
do
it
from
the
heart
I.
Thank
you.
B
B
I
think
if
anyone
goes
back
to
when
I
guess,
July,
2nd
or
4th
of
2022,
those
walk-in
resolutions
has
have
been
far
fewer
and
in
between,
and
everyone
in
the
community
knows
that
this
is
an
open
board,
and
if
there
are
any
questions,
we
can
be
contacted
via
cell
phone
email
at
any
time,
and
we
are
more
than
happy
to
engage
in
conversation
answer
questions.
We
do
it
here
openly
and
willingly
at
our
board
meetings.
B
So
we
take
all
comments
to
Heart
seriously
and
we
give
it
the
respect
America
it
deserves
as
we
want
that
respect
in
return.
So
you
know
we're
not
going
to
say
that
there
will
never
be
another
walk-in
resolution,
because
that's
not
how
business
works.
