11.15 Motion to approve Kelly O’Donnell, Athletic Trainer, to work 30 days in
May/June at a per diem rate of $278.82.
11.16 Motion to approve, upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, that
the Board of Education approves the sidebar agreement with the Keyport
Education Association regarding the terms and conditions of employment
for the Athletic Trainer.
11.17 Motion to approve Kelly O’Donnell, Athletic Trainer, Step 1; MA,
$61,339 ($55,763 plus 10%) effective July 1, 2019, through June 30,
2020, pending negotiations.
11.18 Motion to approve Alyssa Lyons, Georgian Court University, to conduct
her 1,200-hour school psychology externship beginning September 2019
thru June 30, 2020.
Motion was made by Mrs. Panzarelli, seconded by Mr. Moroney to approve
motions 10.1 to 12.1.
The following board discussion ensued:
Mrs. Abrahamsen stated that she disagrees with the creation of the athletic trainer
position. She wants to see money go to something education based.
Mr. Moroney understands why it is a good idea for an athletic trainer. However,
he doesn’t support the outlay of resources at this time with the current situation of
low academic achievement levels particularly at the high school. It seems
irresponsible to hire a full time staff on tenure track whose job is not primarily
supporting academic achievement and would directly be benefitting a small
portion of the student body. There is no articulation for an athletic position or a
similar position in the strategic plan and this is our guiding document. The
completion of the track is in the strategic plan which is why he supported the
track.
Mr. White asked what Mrs. Abrahamsen and Mr. Moroney suggest using the
money for.
Mrs. Abrahamsen stated that the money could go towards mathematics, STEM,
steam, robotics, even music. It doesn’t necessarily have to be used for teachers.
It could be programs or material resources. Mr. Moroney did not want to
comment on how the funds should be used but he feels the athletic trainer does
not support academic achievement.
Mr. Stahley feels the additional investment in athletics as opposed to other needs
really concern him. He spoke with Dr. Savoia and really thought about it but in
the end he is still going to vote no on this decision.
Mr. White asked what is new with the attendance policy motion.
21KEYPORT BOARD OF EDUCATION
REGULAR ACTION MEETING – MAY 8, 2019

Mrs. Kutschman understands everyone’s point of view. Safety is as important as
academics. If students want to play athletics at college level, they need to be safe
on the field or court. Coaches need to have someone to assist them in case
anyone gets injured on the field.
Mr. White feels that on face value he needs to support the motion for a trainer.
Mr. Moroney understands the need for physical safety and it should be one of our
number one priorities. He does think the athletic dept. is supported. We have a
doctor.
Mrs. Kutschman stated that the doctor is not at the games.
Mr. Moroney stated the athletic trainer would not be at every game either because
there are multiple games.
Mrs. Kutschman stated that the athletic trainer would be at all the home games
and there are always athletic trainers at the other facilities.
Mr. Moroney stated we are funding a football trainer for a $9,000 stipend.
Dr. Savoia stated that position is a part-time position and that positon would not
exist. That person does not service the students during the day.
Mr. White asked Dr. Savoia if she could expand the position to teach.
Mrs. Abrahamsen stated that we represent every student in the district and not just
those that play athletics.
Mr. Hausmann had reservations at first. After having conversations about what
the job entails, he believes that it is the right thing to do.
Mr. White asked Mr. Moroney if the position had more of an instructional
component would he feel better about it.
Mr. Moroney stated that there is just so much money in the budget and, if
approved, chances of removing the position after one year is pretty slim. In terms
of coursework, it could be part of what their duties are and it would soften the
blow for him. It could be a very good thing for those students but it would be a
very small number of students.
Motions carried by unanimous roll call vote of 9-0 with the exception of Mrs.
Abrahamsen, Mr. Moroney and Mr. Stahley who voted negative on 11.15 through
11.17 which carried by roll call vote of 6-3. Mr. White abstained on motions 11.2
and 11.14 and Mr. McGrogan abstained on motions 11.1 and motion 11.13.

12.0 Policy –
12.1 Motion to approve the following policy for first reading to be available to

Motion was made by Mrs. Panzarelli, seconded by Mr. Moroney to approve
motions 10.1 to 12.1. Motion 12.1 carried by unanimous roll call vote of 9-0.
13.0 Old Business – None
14.0 New Business
14.1 Mrs. Panzarelli stated college acceptances are listed on our website. We
should be proud of our students. There are many students who have been
accepted into colleges. She would like to see them get scholarships as
well. She will be attending the Delegates Assembly on May 18 as the
delegate representative. She will also be attending Legislative Day which
is school boards and PTA and will have legislators from all over the state
discussing issues impacting public schools. Mr. Hausmann is attending
too. If anyone is interested in finding out more about state policy, they are
welcome to join them on the 18th.
14.2 Mr. Hausmann attended NJSBA GPS Visionary Leadership Conference in
Princeton. Topics included successful board presidents, board member
personalities and styles, president and superintendent relationships,
parliamentary procedure, student achievements, etc. Microsoft sponsored
it and had an immersive reader for dyslexic kids which was really
impressive. There was a lot of talk on Student Achievement CTE
program.
14.3 Mr. Moroney wants to discuss the April 10th meeting. Attorney
Lattiboudere asked him to refrain from questions. Mr. Moroney wants to
know if he crossed a line at the meeting.
Attorney Lattiboudere stands by his action; he spoke to Mr. Moroney that
evening. Under Roberts Rules, the discussion on a vote should be
germane to the vote.
Attorney Lattiboudere stated that there was not an issue regarding the
questions that were asked or the fact that there was a discussion with an
administrator during a discussion on a vote. There are times when you can
have discussions that are open ended. It had gotten to the point there was
23KEYPORT BOARD OF EDUCATION
REGULAR ACTION MEETING – MAY 8, 2019
MINUTES
extended discussion and there was a question that it did not seem germane
to the vote. It seemed philosophical to him. Mr. Moroney disagreed with
the attorney and felt that it was a fundamental question.
Mr. Lattiboudere stated the other competing interest was that there was
extended discussions on multiple items on the vote and there are limits
under Roberts Rules. He was being mindful of the rights of others to ask
questions and he became concerned with the procedure that board
members could use to call a question. There were a number of board
members that did not have any discussion on any of the remaining ten
items. His job is to be parliamentarian in supporting the president in that
role. Every board member should have the opportunity to have their say
during a discussion for that vote. He probably would not have raised his
concern had this been a workshop meeting and not a regular action
meeting.
Mr. Moroney reminded Attorney Lattiboudere that there was not a
workshop meeting before this vote.
Attorney Lattiboudere stated if the goal was to get a presentation that goes
into all areas of a particular topic the way to do that procedurally, is to go
to the Board President and Superintendent who set the agenda for this
board and ask for a presentation. At that point, you can go as long as you
need to have a conversation of that discussion.
Attorney Lattiboudere’s goal is to have the collective body understand
there are procedures that must be followed and that others must be
considered with their right to discuss. He had never seen an actual
discussion in the middle of a vote. This was unusual and he never
intended to shut anyone down.
Mr. Moroney asked the attorney that if this was a workshop meeting
would he have stopped him from asking his question and the attorney said
he would not have.
Mr. White offered Mr. Moroney unsolicited advice from his experience as
a tenured board member. He suggested that Mr. Moroney read the room a
little bit. If people are glazing over it may be time to pull it back a little.
If it is germane to the conversation and parliamentary is allowing it, go for
it but even then read the room. There were a lot of things on the agenda
that evening. He doesn’t think anyone wanted to shut Mr. Moroney down.

14.4 Mr. Stahley asked for clarification between committee of the whole vs.
having someone report out to the board. The attorney explained that the
workshop meetings substitute for how other boards conduct individual
committee meetings. We are a committee of the whole in which every
member has a right to all the information.
15.0 Public Participation
April Riley, 213 Maple Place asked the district to look at a safety concern
on Division Street between the High School and Central School. There
are two openings where people can walk through the gates. She would
like to see the area get addressed.
