Superintendent Santilli and school leaders presented a series of recognitions: a 25th-anniversary highlight for Galloway Township Middle School (GTMS); historical background on Arthur Wren Elementary School; a staff member's newly published children's book; winners in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) ticket design contest; student artwork displayed on a local billboard; the GTMS step team and track-and-field and baseball and softball teams who had championship seasons.

Nut graf: The presentations combined community history, arts and athletics to highlight student achievement and district engagement, and they preceded routine board business and personnel actions.

Presenters and awardees named during the program included GTMS Principal Mrs. Junker; Jeremiah Peyton, who narrated Arthur Wren history; art teacher Mr. Colangelo; GTMS step team adviser Monica Lucas; track coaches Miss Russell and Miss Trubishin; and student awardees such as Isaac Schwanger and Milana Ravenco (LPGA contest) and billboard artist Alden Wynne. Superintendent Santilli recognized the Galloway Township Education Foundation's role in district events.

Several athletic teams received public recognition: the GTMS boys baseball team and softball team were both identified as champions this spring; coaches and players were called forward to be recognized by the board. Track-and-field athletes and relay teams were announced and presented gifts to the superintendent.

A staff member who has published a children's book described her motivation for writing to help students with self-regulation and resilience; copies will be placed in elementary school libraries, the superintendent said. The LPGA contest winners received prizes supplied by contest partners ShopRite and Acer, and the district named the students whose designs were selected for event tickets.

In personnel business, the board acknowledged and approved the retirement of Carol DeRuyter, a GTMS teacher with 55 years of service to the district. The board's motion to approve the retirement (item 8.1) was made and carried by roll call, with board members voting yes and expressing regret and thanks during the roll call.

Ending: District leaders closed the presentation portion of the meeting and moved into public comment and other business; the evening concluded with an executive session for a superintendent evaluation.

Director of Student Services Suzanne Burgess, who delivered the report, said the summary covered districtwide incident counts required under the state's anti-bullying reporting process and explained how local investigations were categorized. \"Everything that you see listed on this slide is information that we are required to report, as a result of the anti bullying law,\" Burgess said.

Burgess gave the following counts for the reporting period: nine incidents of violence, one incident of vandalism, two substance offenses and zero weapons offenses. For HIB-specific reporting she said there were 11 confirmed HIB investigations, 18 HIB allegations that did not meet the statutory HIB threshold after full investigation, and 16 preliminary determinations that did not proceed to a full HIB investigation. Burgess said each of those 45 reports was handled under district policy and the student code of conduct.

Nut graf: The presentation was informational but drew attention because Burgess attributed a measurable drop in HIB incidents to the district's prevention work: she reported 107 trainings and 155 prevention programs during the four-month window and told the board the trend continued into the subsequent reporting period.

Burgess described how the district documents HIB complaints: each alleged incident began with a HIB 338 form submitted by parents, staff or community members, followed by a school-level preliminary review and, if warranted, a full investigation overseen by an assigned anti-bullying specialist. \"We still followed the code of conduct. We still provided supports,\" she said, describing that supports and disciplinary responses were applied even when an allegation did not meet the formal HIB standard.

She also presented the official state-calculated HIB scores for the 2023'2024 school year. The district's average score, produced from the sum of each building's self-assessment subtotals (the local maximum is 78), was 75 for 2023'2024, the same score reported the previous year, Burgess said.

Burgess listed who served as anti-bullying specialists during the period (primarily school counselors with assistant principal support), and noted one listed investigator, Mr. Lupo at Roland Rogers, is no longer employed by the district; she said personnel listings will change in the next report period.

The board later took a formal vote to affirm HIB determinations. President Korman called for the roll call on item 10.1 (affirmation of HIB determinations) and each named board member voted yes: Mrs. Chester, Dr. Permenter, Ms. Loria, Mrs. Avery, Mr. Days, Mr. Gentile, Mrs. Hermonow, Vice President Bashara Blouse and President Korman.

Ending: Burgess's presentation concluded with the board thanking her; she was also acknowledged publicly as retiring and the superintendent and board offered thanks for her work in student services.

","The Galloway Township Public School District presented its Student Safety Data System (SSDS) report covering Sept.–Dec. 2024, reporting 11 confirmed harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB) cases and districtwide efforts — including 107 trainings and 155 programs — the presenter said contributed to a decline in incidents.","actionData","errors"]
