VII.     BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
 
A.   Mrs. Lyke reported on attendance at the annual meeting of the Four County School Boards Association and the remarks by featured speaker Dr. Albert Simone, President of Rochester Institute of Technology, on the pressing need for more engineering students, especially females. She asked if our district offers an engineering program; Mr. Havens noted that he is working with RIT to bring such courses to our high school. He also note that we have numerous females who earn science awards at the middle school but that number drops at the high school and that it is an issue school officials plan to address. Mrs. Lyke noted that field experience for engineering students is also important.

IX.  REPORT ON ACTION ITEMS BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS - None
 
X.  REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
 

A.   FIELD TRIP BY STUDENTS AT FREEWILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
 
Mr. Havens noted that he, too, was pleased to again participate in the field trip with students and staff from Freewill Elementary School to the butterfly museum. He is impressed with the excellent organization of the event and is always pleased to accompany our students.
 
B.   UPDATE ON 2002 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
 
Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Michael Jordan, project superintendent, to present a progress report on the 2002 Capital Improvement Project for information of the Board of Education.
 
Mr. Jordan reviewed plans for Phase 2 of the project during the 2005 summer recess and noted that the new classroom wing at the high school is slated for use by students and staff in September of 2005. He presented digital photos of varied locations and aspects of project activities.
 
After the close of the school year, work will begin in multiple locations in the district, ranging from sidewalk repair at the middle school and floor and carpeting replacements at Freewill Elementary School to asbestos removal and exterior wall upgrades at Ontario Primary School and corridor work and final adjustments in the wheelchair lift at Ontario Elementary School.
 
In addition, the fields and site at the Ontario Center campus will see installation of the all-weather surface on the track, grading, drainage and retention pond work, completion of parking areas and the new bus loop at the south end of the high school, and construction of the press box and new bleachers, scoreboard and goal posts. The district logo on the floor of the new entry is completed at the high school and exterior work is nearing completion.
 
Mrs. Brunner asked for clarification on the modifications planned for the work desks in the science labs; Mr. Jordan provided clarification.
 
Mr. Triou asked about the modifications for the track and field venues on the high school fields; Mr. Jordan reviewed the modifications made.
 
Mr. Davis asked how irrigation of newly planted grass seed is planned in those areas where field watering equipment is not available and if the contractor is obligated to provide irrigation for the new field areas. Mr. Jordan reviewed the contract specifications that call for that to occur.
 
Trustees thanked Mr. Jordan for his report and explanations.
 
C.   UPDATE ON COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES • CLASS OF 2005
 
Mr. Havens introduced Mrs. Holly Armitage, assistant principal at the high school, to present information on commencement exercises for the Class of 2005. Mrs. Armitage reviewed plans for the new tradition of caps and gowns for trustees and faculty and their participation in the processional at commencement. The event is set for 7:00 p.m. on Friday, June 24th at the performing arts center of Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua.
 
D.   DISCUSSION OF NAMING RIGHTS AND FORMATION OF FOUNDATION
 
Mr. Havens noted that a subcommittee comprised of Mr. Robusto, Mr. Schultz and himself has worked since earlier this year on gathering information about naming rights for school facilities and formation of a foundation to provide support for school district activities. He presented a PowerPoint display of key points of their research for review and discussion by the Board of Education.
 
Mr. Robusto noted that he introduced discussion on the topic of naming rights for school facilities at a school board meeting six (6) months ago. He noted that the school board takes pride in the district’s “forward-thinking” reputation and feels that both naming rights and a foundation would reinforce the effort to “think outside the box” in terms of school finance.
 
Mr. Robusto added that some 4,800 foundations exist in the United States and they provide options for corporate or individual sponsors to make tax-deductible donations to support educational programs and activities outside of the school district’s operating budget.
 
Naming rights started in 1973 with a $1.5 million contribution by a corporate sponsor for Rich Stadium. Since that time, both individual and corporate sponsorships have resulted in naming facilities such as Frontier Field, Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial, Golisano Children’s Hospital and Simon School of Business, among others. He outlined the marketing and promotional activities that would accompany a naming rights project.
 
For our school district, potential areas for naming rights are the new science classrooms, the old and new gyms and the new varsity field at the high school.
 
Trustee-Elect Schultz, who served on the committee during his appointed term as a school trustee, reviewed the steps in the bidding process for naming rights and guidelines related to qualifications or restrictions on bidders, acceptable and non-acceptable product lines of sponsors, and terms and conditions of sponsorships. He also shared information collected on seeking proposals for naming rights (e.g. sealed or open bids, on-line auction, and silent auction ) and the review, selection and award process.
 
Mr. Havens reviewed information collected by the committee on the role and formation of an educational foundation. The purpose of a foundation is to provide greater involvement of the community in the school district and provide opportunities for students by non-taxpayer sources. He cited examples of laptops for each child and electronically updated exterior sign boards of items that foundations might support. In addition, some grant applications require that the school district identify a foundation as part of the application.
 
He reviewed the steps required and a possible timeline to create and establish a foundation, adopt bylaws, recruit and select board members and officers and obtain 501-c-3 status. If organizational efforts and meetings take place in June and July, steps to seek sponsors for the first facility with naming rights (e.g. new art, science and technology classroom wing at the high school) could begin next fall.
 
Discussion among trustees and school officials is generally summarized as follows:
 
Mr. Robusto noted a recent feature in the newsletter of the state school boards’ association on the topic of foundations and the enthusiasm and interest that it can generate is a positive effort for the school district.
 
Mrs. Brunner stated that she would like to review sample bylaws of a foundation, the relationship between the elected Board of Education and an appointed Board of Directors for a foundation, and the control and allocation of funds managed by a foundation. She added the need for trustees to have a clear picture of the operation of a foundation.
 
Mrs. Lyke stated that she has developed a list of items on which she would need additional information based on the presentation this evening. Mr. Robusto agreed that clear guidelines for a foundation are important.
 
Mr. Wyse asked how the selection of officers and directors of a foundation would occur. Mr. Havens stated that the governing board of a foundation is generally separate from the membership of the Board of Education and a representative of the school district serves as a member of the foundation board. He has gathered information from several districts on the process use for recruitment of volunteers for those roles. He added that the final decision on acceptance of donations or funds from a foundation is handled by the Board of Education in the same manner as presently in place of acceptance of gifts, grants or bequests.
 
Mr. Wyse asked how a Board of Education would control a foundation if it no longer conforms with the goals and mission of district in a future year. Mr. Havens noted that such issues are addressed, in writing, at the outset of the process.
 
Mr. Wyse cited the example of a corporate or individual product or sponsor of naming rights of a school facility who adds a product or changes its image in the future in a manner that is no longer an appropriate or proper image for the school facility. He added that such a situation could pose a future legal issue. Mr. Robusto stated that those issues are addressed in the contract or agreement for naming rights; if a future issue occurred, the naming right, and revenue, would end and the facility would no longer bear that name.
 
Trustee-Elect Schultz noted that issues such as this are best addressed in the schedule of payments from a sponsor and provisions for termination of the naming rights contract during the term of an agreement.
 
Mr. Wyse noted the past history of our school district to recognize many years of service and contributions such as James A. Beneway Senior High School, Thomas C. Armstrong Middle School and Bernard Porray Field. He would not want to lose the ability to bestow that honor on another individual of similar stature or accomplishment in the future.
 
Mr. Robusto noted that when an individual is honored or recognized, some one else is also slighted. Mr. Schultz noted that accommodation of local tradition or policy is possible and citied the decision to continue the original name of the War Memorial in the naming rights of Blue Cross Area at the War Memorial in the City of Rochester. Mr. Havens noted that these issues present important topics to consider.
 
Mrs. Lyke asked if the new public information officer would have a role in the marketing efforts of an educational foundation. Mr. Havens noted that the staffing for foundation efforts would remain separate from persons employed by the school district to avoid any conflicts of interest.
 
Mrs. Lyke asked if the records of a foundation are audited, if persons who handle funds are boned and who handles disbursement of funds. Mr. Havens reviewed the financial requirements of an educational foundation as a 501-C-3 organization.
 
Mr. Johnson noted that when he served as an officer of the football booster group, they hired an independent auditor to audit their financial records.
 
Mr. Johnson stated he would like to review additional information on an educational foundation and naming rights and to review samples of bylaws for foundations in place in other school districts. .
 
Mr. Triou asked if trustees would like to conduct a special meeting on these topics. Mr. Havens stated that he would share sample bylaws of a foundation with trustees and welcomed any additional questions trustees might have on these two topics.
 
Mrs. Brunner would like clarification of the roles and responsibilities of elected school trustees and appointed foundation board members and what decision-making process would occur.
 
Mr. Triou suggested seeking additional information on these two topics from other school districts in our region.
 
Mr. Wyse suggested that such additional information include the amounts of funds raised by the foundations and the use(s) of those funds.
 
Mrs. Lyke noted that it appears that an educational foundation is comparable in many ways to accept a gift or bequest from the estate of a person who had a prior affiliation with the school district.
 
Following discussion, trustees agreed to include the topic of an educational foundation and naming rights as agenda items for the business meeting of June 23, 2005. Mrs. Brunner suggested an earlier start time for that meeting to accommodate those items.
 
E.   NOMINATION OF JEANNE A. DURFEE AS AREA 2 DIRECTOR OF
 THE NYS SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION
 
Mrs. Lyke noted that former trustee Jeanne A. Durfee is seeking support from component school districts for nomination as Area 2 Director for the NYS School Boards Association. They noted that she is presently a member of the Board of Education of Wayne-Finger Lakes Board of Cooperative Educational Services and is a former vice-president and president of our Board of Education.
 
Mrs. Brunner asked if it is a paid position. Mrs. Lyke stated it is not. She added that each candidate for nomination is required to obtain nominations from five (5) member district school boards. She added that no other person in the territory encompassed by Area 2 has indicated an interest tin the position at this time and Mrs. Durfee has expressed her willingness to serve in the role. The former Area 2 Director, Mrs. Lyn Gay, must step down since she no longer serves as a component board member.
 
Mrs. Lyke offered a MOTION, seconded by Mrs. Brunner, to adopt a RESOLUTION to nominate Jeanne A. Durfee as a candidate for Area 2 Director of NYS School Boards Association, TO WIT:
 
RESOLUTION TO NOMINATE JEANNE A. DURFEE
AS A CANDIDATE FOR AREA 2 DIRECTOR OF THE
NEW YORK STATE SCHOO BOARDS ASSOCIATION
 
RESOLVED, that the Board of Education of the Wayne Central School District, Ontario Center, Wayne County, New York, hereby nominates Jeanne A. Durfee, 3947 Boynton Road, Walworth, New York, as a candidate for Area 2 Director of the NYS School Boards Association .
 
On the question, the RESOLUTION was adopted by a vote of 8 Ayes, 0 Nays, 1 Absent (Mr. Griswold).
 
F.   RECOGNITION OF TRUSTEE WYSE AT MIDDLE SCHOOL CONCERT
 
Mr. Havens noted the efforts of Mr. Wyse as a musician for the recent middle school concert. Mr. Wyse noted that always enjoys working with students and staff members.
 
G.   STUDENT QUESTIONS
 
(1)   Nicole Lacz, 7163 Slocum Road, Ontarto, asked if rumors she has heard about removal of air conditioning at the high school due to expense was true. Mr. Havens stated it was not true. Mrs. Lyke noted that a graduate of the high school filled a promise while a student to donate air conditioning equipment to the computer lab when their earnings allowed; the donation was made and the school district always welcomes additional donations.
 
(2)   Diana Lee, 2066 Ridge Road, Ontario, asked about the share of school district funds expended for the fine arts compared to sports. Mr. Havens noted that the proper balance is always a concern and noted new initiatives in the fine arts planned next year and in future years in conjunction with model schools and the new art classrooms at the high school.,

XIII. POLICY COMMITTEE ITEMS
 
  Policy 7220  â€“ Graduation Requirements – Revised – First Reading
 Regulation 7220 – Graduation Requirements – New – First Review
 Regulation 5790 – Transportation on School Busses of Persons Other Than Students – New – First Review
 
 Mr. Johnson presented the policy and regulation items, noted above, for review and consideration by the Board of Education.
 
Mr. Triou asked if the additional hours for community service incorporated in the increased graduation requirements will pose any limitations for students. Mr. Havens noted that our students presently must fulfill fifteen (15) hours of community service and he believes they will meet the additional requirement without problems.
 
Mrs. Lyke asked if there is a need for additional staff positions and time to arrange for community service and internships and maintain records of same. Mr. Havens stated that the requirements would require additional time and staff.
 
Mr. Davis expressed a concern that many adults feel that they have too much to deal with already in their career and family responsibilities and asked if the new requirements pose the same pressures and restraints on our students and prevent them from having time to “be a kid.” Mr. Havens stated that the new requirements are intended to provide a more rigorous curriculum for our students as they prepare for their futures and careers. He noted that our requirements may exceed those of neighboring school districts but they are still less than those in other industrialized nations.
 
Mr. Johnson noted the proposal is to phase-in the new requirements over a five (5) year period and that he believes our students can adjust to them with the support and resources of our staff. He also believes that the increased requirements prepare our students for future careers and pursuits and that our expectations are well-outlined in the policy and regulations.
 
Mr. Wyse noted that he, and the several other trustees who have also attended the workshops, continuously heard at model school’s training that a rigorous and relevant curriculum is essential for future success of our students in thr 21st century. He added that “you will never achieve a goal you do not set.”
 
Mr. Johnson invited trustees to advise him of any additional concerns about these proposals prior to the next scheduled policy meeting on Wednesday, June 15tth at 4:00 p.m. at the district office.
 
Mr. Triou noted that the proposed regulation to transport persons other than students on busses had its origin in a request by a resident who has served as a substitute at Freewill Elementary School for more then twenty (20) years who is in need of a ride to school at times due to a disability which prevents use of an automobile. This proposal allows use of school busses at the discretion of the superintendent of schools.
 
Mrs. Lyke suggested replacing the term “emergency basis” with “as needed” and added that the person who originated this request serves as a good role model for others.
 
By consensus, trustees approved first reading and review of the proposed policies and regulation, respectively, as revised.

Mr. Havens noted that the IB program has components for elementary, middle and high school levels. Mr. Johnson noted that the Wilson Magnet High School in the Rochester City School District has an IB program that is ranked fifth in the United States.

Statement of purpose and objectives            Att. 2
 

The purpose of the Foundation is to:

ˇ   Enhance the excellent educational programs that are synonymous with the Wayne Central School District and encourage the community to be active participants in student education.
The goal of the Foundation is to:

ˇ   Promote hands-on instruction and support innovation in the classroom through teacher grants, workshops, speakers, special programs, field trips, enrichment programs.

While choosing directors, one should consider:

ˇ   General qualifications.

ˇ   Community relations.

ˇ   Ability to help your organization qualify for 501(c) (3) tax-exempt status.

The role of the board of directors is to develop and implement “organizational policies and goals, budgeting, fundraising, and disbursing a group’s fund.” The profile of a potential director: any member of the community with broad practical skills, with contacts in your nonprofit’s area, with fundraising or accounting experience. The members on the board should be between nine and 15

Scope and programs of the nonprofit.

ˇ   Board members' responsibilities and time commitments.

ˇ   Rewards for serving on your board.

This description will give the board members an idea of what is expected of them. The full board of directors can delegate some of its duties to an executive committee of two or more directors.

Three types of foundation boards.

1.   School board-controlled foundation – all foundation directors are appointed or controlled by the Board of Education.

2.   Autonomous foundation board – the foundation board is entirely separated from the school board. The school does not need to give its approval to the changes the foundation board may want to operate.

3.   The embedded model- the foundation is a separate, autonomous corporation. As members of the foundation board, school administrators represent the school’s interest. Changes need to be approved unanimously by the school board representatives and the other members of the foundation board.

 

While deciding on which type of board will be most appropriate for the foundation, it is also critical to determine what the relationship between the foundation and the school or the school district will be. Board members should be financially committed to the foundation, thus setting a positive, credible example.

The basic format of a board includes a chairman, a president, a vice-president, a treasurer, and a secretary.

The board must be able to:

ˇ   Determine the needs of the school. In order to establish the school or the school district needs McCormick suggests we should look at education programs, financial data (the local budget for education), and external environmental factors (inflation, demographic changes).

ˇ   Involve the parents and the community leaders.

Our Purpose
he Wayne Central Education Foundation is a private, not-for-profit organization established to raise funds to foster, encourage, and promote public education programs in Wayne Central Schools, Ontario/Walworth, NY.

The goal of the Foundation is to promote excellence in Education by recognizing students for scholastic achievement, encouraging teachers to take innovative approaches to public education, and fostering community service.  

The Foundation accomplishes this by working collaboratively with the business leaders, service organizations, educators, and residents of the community.  



  
 
   Independent of the school district, the Foundation raises and disburses funds for projects beyond those supported by regular school sources. The additional funding helps fill the gap that exists between the programs teachers would like to have and those available to them through district budgeting.  

The Foundation has also become the manager of a growing number of financial endowments, established by community members in the name of friends and loved ones. The endowments generate revenue to provide scholarships and other educational opportunities as directed by the endowments.
 
    

  
Support Public Education
  
  
our assistance is vital to the cause of educational excellence in your community. A gift to the Wayne Central Education Foundation can help support student enrichment activities both in and out of the classroom.

Re:  Create New Reserve Funds
 
 
 
 
Per the discussions from the March 24th work session, with Ray Wager, the district’s external auditor, I am recommending the creation of two (2) new reserve funds.
 
The first is the ERS reserve. This reserve allows the district the ability to offset large increases in employer contribution rates.
 
The second is the Retirement Benefits reserve. This reserve gives the district the ability to pay for benefits for retired employees, directly from the reserve.
 
Both reserves are intended to give the district general fund budget stability.
 
I recommend that the Board of Education approve the creation of these two (2) new reserves, at their June 23, 2005 meeting.
