PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR
The Board of Education recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and school
matters of community interest. In support of this position, the law establishes a period of public
comment at every Board meeting.
Individuals wishing to speak must state their name and address. Comments are limited to three
minutes’ duration, but an individual may speak a second time after all others who wish to speak on
the topic have been heard. The Board may require that individuals register to speak prior to the
beginning of the meeting. Participants may submit written material in support of their position.
All statements and/or questions shall be directed to the presiding officer and no participant may
address or question Board members individually. All speakers are requested to express
themselves in a civil manner, with due respect for the dignity and privacy rights of others whose
legal rights may be affected.
Please note: While it is not the Board’s intention to stifle comment on matters of legitimate concern
to the school community, the public should be aware that if their statements violate the rights of
others under the law governing defamation or invasion of privacy, they may face personal liability to
the injured party. If speakers are uncertain of the legal ramifications of their comments, the Board
urges them to seek guidance beforehand from their own legal advisor.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF BOND PROPOSAL AT SPECIAL ELECTION TO
BE HELD ON DECEMBER 13, 2011
Explanation:
This bond proposal supports the installation of solar panels at all district properties to continue
the District’s energy conservation program. The legally qualified voters of Piscataway Township
will be given the opportunity to express their approval through this referendum vote.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF PISCATAWAY IN
THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, NEW JERSEY AS FOLLOWS:
1.
It is hereby determined that a bond proposal shall be submitted for voter approval at a special
school district election to be held on December 13, 2011. The form of the proposal shall read
substantially as follows:
PROPOSAL
The Board of Education of the Township of Piscataway in the County of Middlesex,
New Jersey is authorized (a) to repair or replace roofs and to install solar panels at
Arbor Elementary School, Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School, Grandview
Elementary School, Knollwood Elementary School, Martin Luther King Elementary
School, Randolphville Elementary School, Conackamack Middle School,
Quibbletown Middle School, T. Schor Middle School, Piscataway High School, the
Ethel Road Complex and Fellowship Farms School, including acquisition and
installation of equipment and related work; (b) to appropriate $48,500,000 to finance
the project; and (c) to issue bonds of the school district in the principal amount of
$48,500,000 to fund the project. Under State law this capital project would have
been potentially eligible for State support, in whole or in part, at a minimum amount
of 40 percent for eligible components of the project. However, the Board of
Education determined not to seek State support for this capital project because the
State has not been approving any capital projects for which State facilities aid is
requested.
2.
This Board of Education hereby approves and adopts the proposal set forth above and,
subject to the approval of the legal voters of the school district, hereby determines to carry out
the improvements described therein (the “Project”).
3.
This Board of Education hereby acknowledges and confirms that in accordance with N.J.S.A.
18A:24-16 and 18A:24-17 a supplemental debt statement has been prepared by the chief
financial officer of the Township of Piscataway, being the only municipality comprised within
the school district, giving effect to the proposed authorization of bonds of the school district in
the maximum amount of bonds authorized in the proposal. The supplemental debt statement
has been filed in the office of the Clerk of the Township of Piscataway and in the office of the
Business Administrator/Board Secretary of this Board of Education prior to the final adoption
of the proposal and will be filed in the office of the Director of the Division of Local Government
Services in the Department of Community Affairs prior to the date of the special election.
4.
The Business Administrator/Board Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to send a
certified copy of the proposal to the County Clerk as required by N.J.S.A. 19:60-2, to request
the County Clerk to submit the proposal to the voters at the special school district election and
to seek the assistance of the county officials and Township Clerk in conducting the special
school district election.
5.
The Spiezle Architectural Group, Inc., the School District’s appointed design consultant/
architect for the Project, has heretofore been and is hereby authorized and delegated the
responsibility to prepare the plans and specifications for the Project in consultation with and
under the supervision of the Business Administrator/Board Secretary, who has heretofore and
is hereby delegated the responsibility to work with the architect for this purpose on behalf of
the Board of Education, in accordance with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 18A:18A-16.
6.
The Board President, the Superintendent of Schools, the Business Administrator/Board
Secretary, the Project Architect, Bond Counsel and other appropriate representatives of the
Board of Education (the “Board Representatives”) have heretofore been and are hereby

ensure that the charter schools that are created fit the needs of the community, thereby
strengthening the entire public education system. The public deserves the right to decide whether
public dollars should be devoted to a charter school. Our democracy relies on giving the community
a voice, and charter schools that are worthy will surely get the support they need.
