REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

A.	SECOND QUARTER ACADEMIC REPORT • 2007-2008 SCHOOL YEAR

Mr. Havens presented the second quarter academic achievement report for review and consideration by the Board of Education.. (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)

He noted that Mrs. Cox is absent this evening due to a family member’s hospitalization. He added that the report includes report card data for English-Language arts and math in grades K-5 as well as the results for the four core areas of English, math, science and social studies in grades 6-12.

Mr. Havens extended compliments to students, staff members and parents on the continued success documented in the report.

UPDATE ON PRPOSED 2008 CAPITAL PROJECT

Mr. Havens presented an update on the capital improvement project now under consideration for review and consideration by Board of Education

He and Mr. Atseff were joined by Brian Trott and Matt Deal of Clark Patterson LLC (school architect), Lyle Corey of Le Chase Construction Company (construction management firm ) and Ben Maslona of Fiscal Advisors Associates in a review of proposals and cost estimates for proposed repairs, additions and site improvements, district-wide, and possible construction of new space at Ontario Primary School to house grades 3 to 5 now at Ontario Elementary School.

Discussion ensued on lack of increased state cost allowances by NYS Education Department for specific uses and/or improvements, low state participation levels in capital projects despite increased costs of labor and materials, short and long-term space needs, changing program needs, and present and future debt service obligations of the school district. State agencies have established a strong focus on energy reduction and conservation in design practices.

Mr. Havens noted that the original intent was to present a capital improvement project at no cost to taxpayers after consideration of state aid and local capital reserve funds. The long-range facilities committee is disappointed and frustrated with the inability to achieve that intent given state aid ratios. The committee continues to consider modifications and revisions to proposed improvements to maximize state aid and minimize local tax impact.

He suggested that discussions and meetings with state officials continue on project scope, state aid options and environmental features before a final decision on the merit of the proposed capital projects by the Board of Education.

Mr. Havens thanked presenters for sharing information at this meeting

PROPOSED BUDGET • 2008-2009 • ADMINISTRATIVE PORTION • DRAFT #1

Mr. Havens presented Draft #1 of the administrative portion and revenue appropriations of the proposed 2008-2009 budget for review and consideration by the Board of Education (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting). This draft represents an increase in total budget of 3.4%.

Mr. Gregory Atseff, assistant superintendent for business, reviewed a Power Point presentation on projected expenditures in the administrative portion of the proposed budget in the following areas: Board of Education, district clerk, school elections, superintendent of schools, business office, auditing,, tax collection, purchasing, fiscal agent fees, legal services, personnel, records retention, public information, central printing and mailing, central data processing, insurance, water and sewer charges, administrative services for B.O.C.E.S, refund of property taxes, curriculum development, and building principals . (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)

Highlights of the administrative section were cited as follows:

Ø Wage adjustments reflect collective bargaining agreements
Ø Increases are proposed in contractual expenses for external and internal audit function.
Ø Addition of staffing coordinator position in the district office and .50 clerk/typist position in educational technology
Ø Shift of curriculum development wage expenses from federal funds to the general fund for simpler bookkeeping
Ø Decrease in contractual expenses reflecting shifting medical reimbursement to health insurance code.
Ø Decrease in tuition reimbursement for staff members and mileage and conference expenses
Ø Replacement of file server and expanding wireless capability in educational technology
Ø Decrease in expense for liability insurance

Mr. Schultz asked if a smaller number of teachers are seeking tuition reimbursement. Mr. Havens stated that factor and the larger number of experienced new staff members has prompted a smaller allocation in that area.

D.	PROPOSED BUDGET • 2008-2009 • REVENUES • DRAFT #1

Mr. Havens presented Draft #1 of revenue appropriations of the proposed 2008-2009 budget for review and consideration by the Board of Education (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)

Mr. Atseff reviewed projected revenues from state aid, local revenues, property taxes and fund balance.

Based on latest state aid estimates and property tax valuation data from local sole assessors, the tax rate is projected to drop from $21.35 in 2007-2008 to $21.00 per thousand of assessed valuation in 2008-2009, a reduction of 1.66%.


Mr. Griswold asked about the estimated tax impact on a home assessed at $200,000. Mr. Atseff provided details. He noted that final taxable assessment is not available until July.

Mr. Johnson thanked Mr. Atseff for an outstanding job again this year in providing documentation and data on the proposed budget.

Mr. Triou noted that there is a difference between the tax levy and the tax rate.


Mr. Griswold asked what projected tax impacts neighboring school districts are estimating. Mr. Havens stated only one other school board – Victor CSD – anticipates a reduction in tax rates.

Mr. Griswold asked if any significant increases are expected in future years; Mr. Havens stated he does not anticipate any at this time.

Mrs. Lyke noted that the proposed budget represents the programs and services that the Board of Education believes are needed for the school district.

To: Board of Education

From: Michael Havens, Superintendent of Schools
Gregory Atseff, Assistant Superintendent for Business

Date: March 20, 2008

Re: 2008/2009 Budget Adoption

Attached is a new copy of the proposed 2008/2009 budget.

As reported earlier, this budget includes the following additions:

- New truck to replace the 1997 Ford dump truck
- Increase in the local facilities plan to address building needs
- $20,000 for the summer elementary and middle school enrichment institute
- $30,000 for the high school Summer School program to replace FLCC Summer Program
- 1.0 full time teacher for a second Internship Coordinator for Model Schools
- Boys and Girls Modified Lacrosse Program
- Increase in salaries reflecting the addition of the Staffing Coordinator position in Human Resources and .5 clerk/typist position for Technology department

The proposed 2008/2009 budget represents a 3.4% expenditure increase. The true value tax rate for the proposed 2008/2009 budget, will decrease from $21.35 to $21.00 per thousand dollars of assessed value. A resident with a home assessed at $200,000 in both 2007 and 2008, will see their school taxes decrease by $60.00.

We do not believe the change in the Governorship will change our budget plan so after answering questions it is our recommendation that the Board adopt the 2008/2009 budget at this March 20, 2008 board meeting. That allows us to get started on preparing for the budget vote.

Memorandum



To: Board of Education
From: Michael Havens
Date: 3/20/08
Re: Confidential Staff Salaries

With the adoption of the 2008-09 school budget, we also need to set salaries for our confidential, non-unionized employee. I recommend you follow past practice and grant these employees the same 4% increase that other administrators will be getting. Those completing their third year would also be eligible for their $4,000 “tenure” increase. Michelle Scheik and Bob Miller qualify for this. I also recommend that Nique Wilson be given a $4,000 adjustment as per our recent executive session discussions.

I have not included salaries for Mrs. Cox or Mr. Atseff as they are working on a contract.

Be it resolved, that the Board of Education of the Wayne Central School District hereby approves the following salaries for the 2008-09 school year
