What should ourp riorities be?
Points to ponder…… (Oct-Jun best vote dates)
Where will we be in 2020?
Start point is utf ure education for our district-6
K and 7-12 configuration for the
best programs for students
For any given start date, how soon can we move kids and start annual savings?
For each building, what does NYS SED formula set occupancy for?
Our current occupancy, given our use of areas?
what could our occupancy be (efficiencies)?
Enrollment projections estimate a decline from 132t7 o 1224 in 2019.
NYS refuses to lead in regionalization. 4 County Board members have also spoken
out not in favor. Merger desirability with neighboring districts?
Next BCS is due in 2015
How can we phase in estimated $1.5million savings as part of sooln?
uti
What is sustainability of each option for the long term?
Which is most desirable property sale wi? se
When can we formally put any selected buildings on market without losing state
aid?
What are tax levy implications to taxpayers in any option? Short term pain, long
term gain?
Estimated annual minimum upkeep to closed buildings is approx $25,000.
How do we fund any unplanned major repairs to any buildings we close, as in
roof/boiler?
2
How do we use reserves? Several options to consider
Special Ed and technology areas big budget drivers and even more in future, but
NYS SED does not recognize Spl Ed spaces use in their formula.
Where do bus garage and the lack of maintenance/storage facilities (which are
NOT state aidable) fit into long term planning? They MUST! All local share costs.
Single story versus multistory buildings
Numbers of students that can walk to the schools
Traffic/bus access/playgrounds/parking
Long term costs (no small factor!)
Community emotional connection to buildings over educationen eds
The 1998 study recommendations?
Extracurricular activities impact, if any.
Sports programs impact, if any
OPTIONS????
1, do nothinge xcept normal BCS repairs on all buildings. Ignore program changes.
2, HS for 7/12, new K6 building on single campus
3, HS for 7/12, K6 addition to HS on single campus
4, HS 7/12, LMS to K6 and close NRWE
5, HS 7/12, NRWE to K6 and close LMS.
6, HS to 7/12, Florentine to K6 and close LMS and NRWE

8, new bus nd
a maintenance/storage buildings at HS, HS to 7/12, new K6 building
at HS, sell remaining acreage at HS and all 3 other properties, hope for best.
3
Suggested priorities to consider in options:
Full Board throw out one or more options if clear majority e.a gre
Cost to taxpayers and district; short term and long term
Program savings and educational improvements year of start and over 10 years
Occupancy rates
Long term sustainability costs of buildings
Traffic/bus access/playgrounds/parking

for
that
building
We’d
suggest
that
you
DO
complete
a
BCS
(As
we
did
for
Florentine),
just
in
case
you
choose
to
re-instate
the
building
at
some
point
in
the
future.
As
far
as
Improvements,
you
will
not
be
aided
by
the
State
for
any
work
in
any
building
NOT
OCCUPIED
by
Students.
If
you
do
close
a
building,
we
would
suggest
that
you
maintain
minimum
heat
and
secure
the
building
envelope
so
as
not
to
accelerate
any
deterioration.
