| Captain Stotz announced that the Coast Guard has been working with the school and city on the busing | ||||||||
| issue. Since the school can't provide busing and Impact Aid doesn't cover the expense, the Coast | ||||||||
| Guard will be able to continue to fund the busing for safety reasons. Mr. Fineberg will draft a letter | ||||||||
| verifying Impact Aid doesn't cover the cost. A parent asked if this will need to be re-evaluated each | ||||||||
| year. Mr. Zelinski explained the bid process and Master Chief Bradley stated the term of the busing | ||||||||
| contract will determine if the district will need to provide a letter annually. Captain Stotz noted they | ||||||||
| will work with the school to reduce the cost of the busing. Jack Wichterman commended both parties | ||||||||
| for working together to resolve the issue. | ||||||||
| Resolution #78-08 to enter executive session to discuss negotiations was offered by Deborah Smith. | ||||||||
| On motion by Edward Connolly, seconded by Sharon Lee Kustra, Resolution #78-08 was adopted and | ||||||||
| executive session was entered at 6:50pm. The Board returned to public session at 7:00pm. | ||||||||
| Resolution #79-09 to approve the Memorandum of Agreement and Sidebar Agreement between the | ||||||||
| Cape May City Board of Education and the Cape May City Education Association was offered by | ||||||||
| Edward Connolly. On motion by John W. Lord, III, seconded by Deborah Smith, Resolution #79-09 | ||||||||
| was adopted 9-0. | ||||||||
| The Meeting and Public Hearing date was moved from March 13 to March 20 to accommodate the | ||||||||
