A. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT - None
     
VII. BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
 
A. Mr. Robusto commended Mr. Havens and other staff members involved for their thorough efforts in presenting information to voters about the October 8th special election.
 
B. Mrs. Diller thanked Mr. Havens for making numerous speaking engagements about the October 8th special school election. As a parent, she is pleased that the facilities and site work proposition was approved and disappointed that the swimming pool was not approved; perhaps the community did not get behind it.
 
C. Mrs. Brunner thanked the student and adult volunteers who assisted at the informational booth about the October 8th special school election at the Heritage Days Fair and Mr. Riddell for efforts to recover the tent from the trees during the event.
 
VIII. BOARD PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS
 
A. Mr. Johnson extended thanks to the public for their support of the facilities and site work propositions and the many persons who served on study committees and handled presentations about the October 8th proposals. He gave special thanks to Mr. Havens for his tireless efforts. He believes that the community has expressed an overwhelming mandate that they desire and support the best programs and facilities in our county and area.
 
IX. REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
 
 
Mr. Havens thanked Mr. La Ruche, principal, for hosting the meeting this evening and noted that visits to primary level schools always remind him of the essential foundation provided for our students by staff members at this level.
A. UPDATE ON CAPITAL FACILITIES PROJECT (October 8, 2002)
 
   
Mr. Havens reviewed the results of the balloting for the two propositions at the special school district election of October 8th as noted on the minutes of the special district meeting approved earlier. He noted that the large turnout of voters was gratifying and thanked trustees, school personnel, booster clubs and community volunteers for their role in presentation of the proposed capital project.
He added that local school districts are the closest to grassroots democracy and feels that our community spoke clearly that they wish a strong academic program and a slim majority stated they could not afford a swimming pool at this time.
Mr. Havens stated that with voter approval of the site and facilities improvements at each of the schools, including the high school’s athletic fields, the final design and approval process would begin with discussions among staff members next week. The next step is for the school architect to develop and submit plans for approval to the NYS Education Department. That process is expected to take 10 to 12 months. Pending no delays at the state level, the bidding process could occur in late fall of 2003 with bid opening in January, 2004 and construction starting in spring, 2004. Completion of construction is projected for fall of 2005.
Mr. Switzer noted that the turnout of 2,085 eligible voters represents the third highest vote tally in the past 30 years.
 
B. UPDATE ON ACADEMIC INTERVENTION SERVICES (AIS) PROGRAM
 
   
Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Laurence Spring, assistant superintendent for instruction, to present information on the district’s Academic Intervention Services (AIS) plan for review and consideration by the Board of Education (copy of report filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)
Mr. Spring explained that academic intervention services are provided to students in English/language arts and math in grades K to 12 and social studies and science in grades 4 to 12 who are not on track to meet state standards based on statewide test results and local assessments (e.g. classroom observation, unit/term exams, report card grades, staff referrals).   
Services are both direct, by a certified teacher, and indirect, through counselors and teaching assistants. Student progress and eligibility for these services are reviewed at ten (10) week intervals and parents have the right to examine the expertise and credentials of persons who provide these services. Samples of letters that principals will provide to parents were included in the agenda documentation.
Mr. Robusto noted that it appears that the program is very comprehensive and suggested that the letters to parents include the meaning of specific standards students need to meet.
 
  
Mr. Spring noted efforts planned to inform parents of the standards and criteria against which student performance is measured. Mr. Havens stated that samples could accompany notification to parents to help them understand state standards.
Mrs. Lyke stated it is difficult to initially get a handle on the standards and asked what would happen if a parent refused to allow an eligible child to participate in intervention services. Mr. Spring noted that state regulations provide that the school district is responsible for instructional programs and that school personnel would take steps to prevent a confrontational relationship with a family where students need intervention services.
Mr. Griswold asked what the school district did for these students before this required intervention plan, what percentage of our students are eligible and how the program is funded.
 
 
Mr. Spring reviewed the nature of programs previously provided (e.g. Tittle I remedial services, educational support services, counseling services), many of which are now provided as academic intervention services, and estimated that 40% to 50% of our students have received some form of intervention services during their school careers. He noted that appx. 25% of students presently receive academic intervention services.
Sources of funding for these services range from state and federal grants and entitlement funds to local school budget allocations. Mr. Havens noted the additional reading staff at the middle school and expansion of the summer reading program from 2 to 4 weeks as examples of support by the Board of Education for intervention services. He added that no additional state funds were allocated for school districts to provide these mandated services.
 
Mr. Wyse offered a MOTION to approve the Academic Intervention Services (AIS) Plan for 2002-2003 as presented this evening and recommend by the superintendent of schools. 8 Ayes, 0 Nays, 1 Absent (Mr. Ratcliffe), Carried.
 
C. PRESENTATION BY EAGLE SCOUT BEN MOELLER
(Orienteering Course, Ontario Center Campus)
   
Mr. Havens noted that less than 5% of boys who participate in scouting earn the prestigious distinction of Eagle and stated he was pleased to welcome senior Ben Moeller of Troop 127 in Ontario to present his Eagle project to the Board of Education. He introduced Edward Currier, science teacher and department chairperson at the middle school, to open the presentation.
Mr. Currier stated he was honored to present his former student, Ben, and the orienteering plan for the school district’s Ontario Center campus that he completed as his Eagle project. He noted that the creativity and over 100 hours of hard work exhibited by Ben and the value of his work as a resource for science, physical education and other programs for students in our district were remarkable.
Ben presented and narrated a powerpoint outline of his research and study and the details of the orienteering course. He displayed a sample of the 19 control markers he developed for the course from materials donated by local vendors.
 
 
He explained that orienteering has benefits for persons of all ages and showed a map that outlined the scope and features of the orienteering course and the topography of school- owned land on the Ontario Center campus (copy of map filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting). He thanked Mr. Davis, director of facilities, Mr. Russell, professional engineer, his parents and many other volunteers for their assistance.
Mr. Johnson extended congratulations to Ben on behalf of the Board of Education and school district on his achievement and thanked him for the contribution of his work to the school district’s educational program.
 
D. UPDATE ON CLASSROOM ADDITION REFERENDUM ● Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES
 
  
Mr. Havens noted a referendum planned on December 17th in each of the 25 component districts of Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES to consider a proposition for appx. $11 million for construction of classroom space at the trade and technical school campus in Williamson. They would replace classrooms now leased by BOCES at the four schools on our Ontario Center campus.
BOCES will provide information to residents and reimburse our district for expense of conducting the special election. A representative of BOCES will present information on the proposal to the Board of Education at a business meeting in November.
In response to questions posed about the availability of classroom space for BOCES if the December proposal is not approved, Mr. Havens noted that the existing lease agreement between BOCES and our district would not extend beyond its current expiration date in 2004. BOCES officials are aware of our need to use that space at the conclusion of their lease and would need to make other arrangements for their needs.
 
E. FINANCIAL REPORTS
 
Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Atseff, assistant superintendent for business, to present his monthly report on school district finances for the Board of Education.
 
Mr. Atseff shared and reviewed data on revenues and expenditures to date and how they relate to budget allocations. He also explained how finances are reviewed and monitored throughout the school year.
 
Mr. Johnson noted recent news media reports about projected cost increases for heating fuel and asked how they would impact budget allocations. Mr. Atseff noted that budget allocations for such expenses do take price adjustments into consideration and that those expenses are closely monitored throughout the year.
 
Mr. Atseff also shared the report format he plans to use internally and to update trustees on status of expenses and change orders in the capital improvement project approved by voters on October 8th. He stated that this format was used successfully for the last capital project.
  
Mr. Johnson thanked Mr. Atseff for his reports.
F. REPORT BY INDEPENDENT AUDITOR, PERIOD ENDING June 30, 2002
 
Mr. Havens introduced Ray Wager, of the district’s internal auditing firm, Raymond Wager, PC, who was present to review the report of financial accounts and management letter for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002.
 

Mr. Wager stated that the district continues to have a solid financial position, that the school lunch fund attained a profit again this year and was able to increase its fund balance, and a good balance exists in the capital reserve fund. He added that the fund balance in the general fund remains positive but advised against continued use of a large amount of that reserve against the property tax levy on a long-term basis since if such a surplus did not exist in a future year, an increase in the property tax levy would be necessary.
 
He is pleased to see that the school board is monitoring budget status on a continuous basis and encouraged that this continue in light of uncertain and changing economic conditions.

 
  
Mr. Wager noted that the management letter indicates that proper checks and balances and internal controls are in place and that the business office staff does an excellent job. He is pleased to see that the recommendations for some minor items noted in last year’s management letter were addressed.
He noted that the new auditing procedures that take effect next year would result in an entirely different audit report and management letter. The reports will encompass 25 to 30 pages and include more comparative data for present and prior years. He noted that his staff has just completed its first audit using the new format in preparation for use for reports of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003.
Mr. Havens stated that the district appreciates the work and advice from Mr. Wager’s firm and thanked him for his visit and reports.
 
G. STUDENT QUESTIONS
 
(1) Gillian Sullivan, 6184 Knickerbocker Road, Ontario, asked what uses would occur when the space at the high school currently leased to Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES is available to our district. Mr. Havens reviewed preliminary plans for use of that space by the high school.
 
(2) Gillian Sullivan, supra, asked If any new programs were planned with the potential for use of the present leased space by our district. Mr. Havens noted changes in state requirements and local scheduling options will result in some new courses.

Mr. Guelli stated that the Walworth Town Board wishes to use the building as a community center. He is working with county officials to have prior year unpaid taxes forgiven so the town could obtain title by payment of current unpaid taxes. He added that the town board appreciates the assistance of the Board of Education in waiving unpaid school taxes on the site.
Mr. Guelli noted potential uses of the gym and classroom areas for recreational programs, some classrooms as meeting rooms, the former kitchen and dining room for community groups to host meals and events and possibly twelve (12) senior citizen apartments in the l957 single-story wing of the structure.

Mr. Robusto relayed questions he has received about who has responsibility for drainage in the creek bed along the north boundary line of the school district campus in Ontario Center. Residents who have spoken to him have received varying responses from town and school officials. Drainage by property owners west of Ontario Center Road and of school fields is and will be restricted.
 
Mr. Robusto asked how determinations are made for drainage improvements and suggested that the Town of Ontario seek temporary easements to complete the work. Mr. Havens stated he has previously discussed with Mr. Tyo, watershed management committee chairperson, options for removal of the debris in the creek. He added that the school district has just recently completed an updated survey of the north boundary; in some cases the creek bed is entirely on school property and in others, only a portion of the creek bed is on school property.
 
Mr. Clark reviewed how the town-wide watershed management program operates and is funded. Appx. $90,000 is raised from property taxes each year. The watershed management committee prepares an annual plan for addressing needs for consideration by the town board. He will look into the issues raised by Mr. Robusto.
   
E. POSSIBLE JOINT EFFORTS FOR INTER-CAMPUS ROADWAY (Ontario Center Campus)
 
 
Mr. Robusto suggested exploring joint efforts among school, town, county and state public works agencies to use fill material from highway construction and annual community improvement projects by the Corps of Engineers to establish an inter-campus roadway at the Ontario Center campus. He believes that such an approach might also include work by college-level engineering students and local students and could afford a win-win situation for local taxpayers
V. ITEMS SUBMITTED BY WALWORTH TOWN BOARD
 
A. NOMINATIONS FOR “Catch-A-Kid” PROGRAM
 
 
Mr. Guelli stated that the Walworth Town Board presented some 18 awards so far in 2002, nearly double the number presented last year, for “Catch-A-Kid” awards for good deeds or special contributions to the community by local youth as part of the Hopeworks program. Mr. Clark stated that the Ontario Town Board has not received many nominations this year.
Mr. Guelli encouraged residents of both Ontario and Walworth to nominate local youth for these “Catch-A-Kid” awards. Interested persons can submit nominations to Mr. Guelli or Mr. Clark at their respective town halls.
 
B. HOPEWORKS PROGRAMS
 
Mr. Guelli stated he has actively participated in the Hopeworks programs for asset building and for connecting local students and families to health and human services agencies. He urged school officials to continue the Hopeworks program in future years and return the Hopeworks coordinator to full-time status.
 
Mr. Havens noted that budget planning for 2003-2004 has not yet started and that Mrs. Woodard, director of student services, is working with the Hopeworks coordinator. The steering committee has submitted a grant application to cover some program expenses.
 
VI. ITEMS FROM ONTATRIO TOWN BOARD
 
A. RENEWAL OF OPERATING LICENSE ● GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
(Public Meetings, November 6, 2002, Re: Environmental Impact Statement)
 
 
Mr. Clark shared information about two public meetings scheduled by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on Wednesday, November 6, 2002, for review of environmental issues pertaining to the proposed renewal of the operating license for the Ginna Nuclear Power Station in the Town of Ontario. (copy of announcement in clerk’s agenda files, this meeting)
Two identical sessions are planned, one at 1:30 p.m. and another at 7:00 p.m., both at the Webster Public Library. Both the NRC and RG&E will make presentations followed by time for public input and comment.
  
Mr. Clark encouraged all interested parties to attend and expressed disappointment that the NRC decided not to conduct the hearings in the Town of Ontario where the nuclear power station is located as the NRC has previously assured him. He is hopeful that such action is not a precursor of how the NRC will consider concerns raised by town officials and local residents.
He noted that two large volumes of material are on file at the Ontario Town Hall which outline the numerous and varied topics included in the preparation of the preliminary environmental impact statement (EIS) as part of the application process for renewal of the plant’s operating license for an additional twenty (20) years beginning in 2009. Topics range from the number of fish eggs in the warm cooling water at the plant to the effects on waterlife of warm and cold water in Lake Ontario.
     
The review also includes review of the economic impact of the power plant on local employment, tax base, tax rates and if the local housing and municipal infrastructure is sufficient to support renewal of the license.
Questions from the audience on the topic asked how much longer fishing restrictions will remain in place at the plant, if failure of the license renewal to occur would impact the capital improvement project approved by local voters on October 8th and the current assessed value of the plant.
Mr. Clark stated that the security precautions and restrictions at the nuclear plant will remain indefinitely in light of national security concerns. Mr. Havens stated that the facilities project will continue as approved by voters; shifts in the amount paid by local taxpayers could occur if the assessed value of the nuclear power plant changes.
Mr. Clark stated that the 2002 assessed value of the nuclear power plant is $158 million.
Mr. Griswold asked how much the power plant pays in school taxes; Mr. Clark stated over $3 million in 2001.
 
B. DISTRIBUTION OF COUNTY SALES TAX
  
Mr. Johnson asked if any change in distribution of county sales tax to school districts was planned by the Wayne County Board of Supervisors and asked both town/county supervisors to keep school officials posted of any proposed changes.
Mr. Clark and Mr. Guelli noted that while the county board’s finance chairperson continues to cite the annual loss of over $1 million in S.T.A.R. aid to local schools due to the sales tax distribution, county supervisors as a whole do not support changing the distribution of sales tax with the schools at this time. Preliminary estimates have shown that taxpayers in the western townships would experience minimal overall tax savings and a significant increase in school taxes would occur in the eastern townships.
  
County officials have discussed having a professional advisor review how changes in distribution of sales tax would impact taxpayers at the school, town, village and county levels. Mr. Johnson noted that school districts would need to plan ahead to phase-in any future changes in sales tax distribution.
Wayne Central School District receives appx. $800,000 in sales taxes revenue each year.
 
C. SURCHARGE OF CELLULAR TELEPHONE USERS
 
   
Mrs. Brunner asked town supervisors about the intended use of the recently approved 35 cent monthly surcharge on cellular telephone bills of Wayne County residents and why county employee uses of cellular phones were exempted from the surcharge.
Mr. Clark, who chairs the public safety committee of the Board of Supervisors, cited the increased use of cellular telephones instead of regular telephones by residents, the number of calls to the 911 center from cellular phone users and the existing surcharge on regular telephone bills as criteria for the surcharge. The estimated $75,000 in annual revenue from the new surcharge is earmarked to support the county E-911 center and services in lieu of an increase in the property tax. Estimates show the surcharge will save about 2 cents on the county tax rate vz. an additional $4.20 per year for each cellular telephone user.
Mr. Wyse noted the low amount of prior notice to the community of the recent public hearing was the reason for little comment or input from the public. Mr. Guelli stated he received a few letters and telephone calls on the topic.
Mr. Robusto noted that $16 of $48 of a recent monthly phone bill at his home was for taxes and surcharges.
 
D.SCOPE & ROLE OF COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
 
  
Mrs. Brunner asked town supervisors about the number and role of committees of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors on which they serve.
Mr. Guelli stated that he chairs the public health committee and serves on committees on finance, planning and highway in addition to numerous additional committees such as the jail advisory board, the community services board and Hopeworks council, among others.
Mr. Clark noted that he is chairperson of the public safety committee and serves on committees on social services, public health, judicial and personnel as well as the 911 council and fire advisory board, among others. He noted that he participated in a state drill of the emergency procedures at Ginna Station conducted on October 22nd and a federal drill is planned next month.
 
 
VII. PUBLIC COMMENT
A. Melissa Miller, 6982 Lakeside Road, Ontario, asked about the Hopeworks program. Mr. Guelli nd Mr. Havens provided details about the character asset building activities and links to health and human services agencies.
 
B. Sara Goggins, 861 Atlantic Avenue, Walworth, asked how the renovations and improvements to the high school will effect the collection and space in the high school’s library-media center; Mr. Havens provided details.
 
C. Stephanie Young, 432 Ontario Drive, Ontario, asked about the effect of the heated water from the nuclear power station on the biology of Lake Ontario and noted the additional algae that tends to form during the summer months. Mr. Clark commented on changes in the clarity of lake water due to zebra mussels and deeper penetration of light into the lake waters and noted that the Town of Ontario has installed a new, deeper water intake pipeline in the past few years.
 
D. A student asked about the courses students might take at the new MCC satellite center at the high school; Mr. Havens reviewed course offerings planned.
 
E. Sara Goggins, supra, asked if local teachers of Gemini courses would teach at the MCC satellite center; Mr. Havens stated the MCC instructors would teach the courses along with some local staff members.
 
F. Leigh Murray, 1175 Plank Road, Ontario, asked if the school district would take steps to insure that school facilities remain safe when they are opened to the community through the MCC satellite center; Mr. Havens stated that the agreement with MCC addresses that topic.
 
G. Sara Hoggins, supra, asked how MCC would address the safety issues and who would pay those costs; Mr. Havens provided details.
 
H. Angela Affronti, 477 Whitney Road, Ontario, asked if the community swimming pool would be voted on again anytime soon given the slim margin of the recent vote and how the public can show interest in doing so. Mr. Johnson stated that if the public sought another vote on a pool, the school board would consider it and that a process exists for that to occur. He does not expect that the school board will propose the idea again.
 
I. Craig Connelly, 734 Jacobs Road, Macedon, asked about the length of the agreement with MCC for the satellite center and if the school district could change or end the agreement if the satellite center ties up resources that the schools may need in the future. Mr. Havens stated the agreement is for 2 years and provides opportunity for review by both parties. He added that MCC has also agreed to help in design of the new science classrooms at the high school.
 
VIII. NEXT MEETING DATE
  
Mr. Johnson extended thanks to the Walworth Town Board for hosting this meeting,
Mr. Havens stated that the Board of Education is host for the next three boards’ meeting on April 23, 2003 at 7:30 p.m. at James A. Beneway High School.

PROTECTION AGAINST RADIOACTIVE IODINE

 
 

Health departments at the state and county level monitor radiological emergencies and issue advisories to inform the public when the need for protection against radioactive iodine is or is not necessary.
 
In emergencies where the public is likely to become exposed to radioactive iodide, the use of potassium iodide (KI) medication is indicated. Stable iodide administered before or promptly after intake of radioactive iodine can block or reduce the accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland.
 
Arrangements for distribution of potassium iodide will become part of the school district’s emergency and radiological emergency response plans and made available to staff and students.
 
School district personnel will work in conjunction with state, county and other personnel and agencies in the distribution of potassium iodide medications and in informing the public of such arrangements.
