Letter to the Board

December 2, 2005

“There are two theories to arguin’ with a woman. Neither one works.” - - Will Rogers

Greetings from Wayne Central. Below are a few items of interest.

Board Agenda:

Executive Session: We will meet at 6:00 p.m. to meet with Mr. Siracuse about the high school position. In the past, this has always been a get to know you session rather than a real interview time. We already know Joe but it will be a good time to congratulate him and to ask about his plans for the high school. I have enclosed part of his folder for your review. I talked about this in a recent newsletter. Secondly, we need to formally withdraw our charges against Lory Morrin. This allows Mr. Switzer to inform the State Education Department that we are accepting her resignation “upon the terms recommended by the Superintendent” during personnel action. Following that vote, I would like to begin our discussion about the possibility of establishing a contract with Mr. Atseff.

Tour of Building: The tour of Ontario Elementary will begin at 6:30.

Auditors Report: Ray Wager’s assistant will be attending to present his report on the district’s audit and his findings. You have received both his management letter and basic financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these reports. He will also be recommending we establish an audit committee that, for the first year, has all Board members. This will be the time to discuss whether or not we want to do that. We will be establishing the committee under consent agenda. While the duties of the committee have not been finalized, we know the internal claims auditor and the internal auditor will be reporting to them quarterly.

Facilities and Finance Goals: Greg Atseff will provide a report on the facilities goals and the finance goals as decided upon this summer and detailed in the district school improvement plan.

Internal Claims Auditor: Russ Harris, our Internal Claims Auditor, will be making his quarterly report. In the future he will be reporting to the auditing committee.

Financial Report: Greg Atseff will provide his monthly update. The revenue accounting and expenditure report and included in the board letter for your review.

Action Items for Board Approval: Personnel Action, CSE and the October Treasurer’s Report are presented for approval. Also included in the consensus agenda is the 2006-07 budget development calendar. The Audit reports need to be formally accepted by board action, we need to establish an auditing committee and approve a budget transfer. We also have a resolution making us the lead agency for the SEQRA for our energy project. I recommend approval of all of the above.

Board Letter:

Ontario Primary Power Outage: On Tuesday, at just before 10:00 a.m. Ontario Primary lost its power due to a RG&E problem. It occurred in a connection between the road and the school (a fuse blew on the pole feeding the building) affecting only OP. The school went on generator power and students remained in school all day. Fortunately, it was not a cold day and the building temperature was ok. Lunches were pretty well prepared by that time, the food service staff at OP managed to get lunches together without tremendous difficulty and the maintenance staff was able to get the cash registers running. Some classes had light, others did not, so they adjusted as necessary. The power was restored at about 1:00.

Overnight Trips: Several overnight athletic trips are in the works. I have attached the list of the plans that have been submitted to me to date along with a list that was submitted this summer with the overall preliminary plans for the year.

Grease Letters and Articles: The debate wages on…. However, this week, the good guys are winning. See the attachments.

MCC Soccer: One of our Alumni, Megan Thayer, has been enjoying a tremendous amount of success with the MCC women’s soccer team – winning the National Title again this year. Megan was an outstanding athlete at Wayne in Soccer, Alpine Ski Racing and Softball. She has a positive personality as well and is the daughter of our staff member Joan Thayer (bus driver and food service). Congratulations on her success.

Dear Mr. Collins,

Thank you for your questions at our recent Board meeting. I will try to provide answers below. If you have additional questions please feel free to call my office at 524-1001.

Regarding energy savings, we did look at a number of places to cut costs. We did not cut any positions, however we did decide not to fill a position. This was a $40,000 savings. We also looked at our use of buses and how we could reduce some expenses. Certainly the largest transportation expense is bringing students to school. We do not see making any changes in that area. We are however limiting our athletic contests to Section V. We are also reviewing our school field trip to make sure they are all educational in nature.

You expressed some concerns about balancing the heating system. Specifically, you talked about some rooms being hot while others are cold. When the system is working correctly that should not occurred however we have noticed problems in some rooms. We are having a Atlantic Energy Company look at those issues. They will be recalibrating and/or replacing thermostats. We are also having our remaining single pane windows replaced with thermo pane.

Your final question was about the gate being open at the bus garage. The motors that operate the gate no longer work and the company that supplies the motors no longer makes them. We have been able to locate a different type of motor. Our maintenance staff is in the process of doing the necessary fabrication to allow the doors to operate again.

Thank you for your questions. If you desire any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Michael Havens

Dear Walt and Mary Lou,

I want to personally thank you for your kind note regarding the musical “Grease.” I must admit that the criticism about my decision did sting a bit. Letters from people such as you really help to boost my belief that there are many people out there who understand that schools have to be a place to stand firm for what is right.

Thank you so much for taking the time to personally write me. I am always pleased to hear from our retirees, especially when they feel we have done something to make them proud of the fine school that they were a part of. You have no idea how much your encouragement means to me.

Thank you,

Subject: Excellent behavior -Boys Basketball team

Mr. Havens,
I am a teacher in Attica, NY, and my family and I were out to dinner at the Chinese restaurant in Warsaw last weekend. The basketball team from your school was there as well. What an incredible group they were. My young children were seated right on the other side of the team and we were pleased to hear nothing but appropriate conversations, polite use of the facility, and kind words to the other patrons. This is not a common occurrence, and I wanted to make sure the coaches and students were applauded for their behavior.

Sincerely,

WAYNE CENTRAL FOUNDATION INFORMATION

Next meeting is schedule for Thursday December 15 @ 7 PM at r-house office.

Our attorney has asked for Names and address of the Officers and Board of Directors could you please respond with your address and phone numbers. I would like to forward this to Chris Mumford by Friday December 2.

Following is correspondence from Attorney Chris Mumford.

Hi Frank and Mike

The Certificate of Incorporation is substantially ready, see the attached. I do need a couple of things.

1. Names and residence address of the initial directors. There must be at least 3, but there can be more. I'd suggest that more than 7 members of the Board makes the Board difficult to manage. These folks do not have to sign the certificate of incorporation.

2. A mailing address for the Corporation. I'd suggest a PO box. But I need to have a box number (or a street address) as part of the Certificate of Incorporation.

I have talked with Mike Jeffers and he is willing to do the paper work to get IRS approval for the 501(c)(3) exemption. Since I am not going to do that work, I don't have to charge you for it. In fact, I won't charge for my work. But you will have to pay the necessary filing fees for the State of New York. These total $185. So I'd appreciate a check payable to Lacy, Katzen for $185 when we get together to sign the Certificate of Incorporation.

I'd like both of you to review the Certificate of Incorporation and let me know if you see anything that needs to be revised.

---------------------------

Please return your information and I will see you December 15.

Thanks

Frank Robusto
