A. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT
  
Mr. Wyse noted that school board meetings are meetings conducted in public, not public meetings. The Board of Education devotes a portion of the agenda to time for public comment and responses require the action of the total school board. The Board of Education encourages public participation and requests that each speaker provide their name, address, group(s) they represent (if any), and the topic(s) they wish to address.
A. Matthew Mazura, l981 Ridge Road, Ontario, read a prepared statement to compliment trustees on the decision not to consolidate Grades K to 5. He feels a small addition at Ontario Primary School for full-day kindergarten and pre-kindergarten and new science space at James A. Beneway Senior High School are possible capital improvements and that the present economy merits consideration in determining capital improvement decisions. He suggested that trustees and district officials’ direct efforts to raise student achievement scores and restore the district to the leading status it had in the past (copy attached to these minutes in the minute book)
     
VII. BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
 
A. Mrs. Brunner noted the legislative meeting on March 9, 2002 in Geneva sponsored by the Four County School Boards Association and encouraged trustees to attend and share their concerns about state aid. Local state legislators are expected to attend.

BOCES officials plan to set aside l5% of the annual surplus returned to component districts for capital improvements at the Williamson and Flint BOCES facilities. She added that Larry Driscoll, long-term BOCES business official, is retiring. Component districts will consider resolutions for the BOCES administrative budget and BOCES board members on Wednesday April 24, 2002.
 
 
C. Mrs. Brunner extended thanks to Mr. Blankenberg for the invitation to the wrestling match with Canandaigua and noted the intensity, agility, skills and enthusiasm displayed by our athletes at that tournament. She extended congratulations to the wrestlers and their coach for a job well done.
VIII. BOARD PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS - None
 
 
IX. REPORT ON ACTION ITEMS BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
A. Mr. Havens read letter from fire donations fund to high school students thanking them for collection of $1,496 for the New York Fallen Firefighter & Rescue Workers Fund immediately after the September 11th tragedy. A round of applause by trustees, school officials and visitors present recognized this effort.
 
REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
  
A. RECOGNITION OF NATIONAL HONORS ● MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE OLYMPIAD TEAM
 
Mr. Havens noted the recent national achievement by the science olympiad team at Thomas C. Armstrong Middle School and asked Mr. Armocida, principal, to introduce team members and coaches. They reviewed the scope of competition at the University of Deleware on January 25th and the honors and awards earned by team members and the tenth place earned by the team. The team tied for second in state competition last year.
Trustees presented plaques to team members Jeni Adams , Mike Adams, Catherine Aubertine, Bryan Bobo, Mike Bodak, Rob Coward, Emma Fink, Lindsay Galan, Joe Geiger, Chelsea Griswold, Zack Halloran, John Hassler, Randy Mason, Stephanie Mason, Mike Miles, Greg Reid, Rick Rolon, Aaron Roy, Zac Ruetz, Kristen Sullivan and Joel Van Wagnen. Team coaches Ed Currier, Diane Di Gravio and Jessica Roethel were recognized.
  
Team members extended their thanks to their parents, coaches, school personnel, the school board and others who assisted in preparations and supported their participation in this event. They noted the many educational benefits of their participation and that they are eagerly preparing for the 2002 round of competition that begins with regional meets in March at St. John Fisher College in Rochester.
Mr. Wyse noted it is an honor for trustees to present these academic achievement awards.
 
B. REVIEW OF TEACHERS ELIGIBLE FOR TENURE RECOMMENDATIONS
 
Mr. Havens asked the pleasure of trustees to meet with building principals for review of the 130 teachers eligible for tenure. Following discussion, consensus was reached to schedule separate meetings for elementary and for secondary staff during executive sessions at the start of two or three regular business meetings beginning on February 27, 2002. Those meetings would begin at 6:30 p.m., with intent to conduct the executive session until approximately 8:00 p.m. and to reconvene for the business meeting at 8:00 p.m. (one half hour later than normal start time)
 
C. PRESENTATION ON MODEL SCHOOLS PROGRAM @ HIGH SCHOOL
               
Mr. Havens noted that several middle and high school staff members and elementary administrators have attended model schools workshops over the past two years and shared those concepts with local staff members. He introduced Mrs. Lory Morring, principal, and staff members to report on the progress of the program at the high school.
Mrs. Morrin noted that the school’s building planning and model schools teams have combined into the Eagle Visionaries team. She introduced team members present: Linda Wyse (parent representative), Fred Mannino, Nikki Miller, Kelly Gallup, Susan VanAcker and Lisa Marlowe.
Mr. Mannino reviewed the background of the new Eagle Visionaries team and their efforts to introduce the many model schools topics to local staff and students.
Mrs. Miller spoke as chairperson of the Eagle Visionaries team and outlined the vision statement and action plans they developed. They are continuing to review student achievement data and develop future goals to increase student achievement.
Mrs. Gallup reviewed the team’s work with staff members on commencement outcomes, student portfolios, individual career plans and higher expectations for achievement. She also outlined efforts by a staff committee to look at traditional and new scheduling options. They are visiting districts where varied models are in place (e.g. Webster, Victor, Brockport, Palmyra-Macedon).
Mrs. Van Acker shared information linking career plans to state standards for occupational education and the model schools plan and outlined the pilot projects she and Mrs. Marlowe have started on the portfolio method of student assessment and a school and community mentor program.
Mrs. Marlowe noted information gathered at community forums and other venues over the past two years to determine the roles, skills and knowledge our students need (e.g. lifelong learner, good citizen, worker-wage earner, business owner, consumer) and to develop local commencement outcomes. She cited efforts to link these outcomes to state standards and to set expectations for student achievement. The pilot projects she and Mrs. Van Acker are developing as part of their annual professional improvement plans will hopefully provide multiple examples of student achievement during their four-(4) years of high school
Mrs. Morrin shared a summary of past, present and future model schools efforts that relate to student achievement. They range from curriculum mapping, achievement data analysis, student mentoring programs and additional course offerings in engineering and the professions (accomplished) to reinstatement of the natural helpers program, increasing required units for graduation, and new course offerings in science electives, life/parenting skills, technology/computer systems, and keyboarding (future)
Mrs. Lyke asked about the status of a new scheduling model. Mrs. Morrin stated that the effort is still underway.
Mr. Triou asked what level of difficulty exists in scheduling required courses and allowing some flexibility in course selection for students. Mrs. Gallup reviewed the pros and cons of the existing schedule and some of the options a block schedule would offer for example. Mr. Havens noted that there are multiple versions of block scheduling.
Mr. Havens noted that the basis of model schools is to determine the schedule design that best meets local student and school needs. He added that awareness and support of the Board of Education of these efforts is essential.
Mr. Wyse stated he was fortunate to attend the model schools workshop in Orlando and recalled the prototypes of a senior project. He asked when that approach would begin in our schools. Mrs. Morrin stated that the topic is among those under consideration by the team; Mrs. Marlowe stated that the goal is to develop a senior project or portfolio approach that works with our students.
Mr. Wyse asked if there is a target date for the ideas noted this evening. Mr. Havens stated he would like to see the completed project sooner than later but noted that the main effort is to develop a plan that addresses skills and abilities our students need.
Mr. Wyse extended thanks and compliments on behalf of the school board to the team and to staff members who have dedicated time and efforts above and beyond their assigned duties to develop the model schools program.

D. PROPOSED 2002-2003 BUDGET ● CAPITAL PORTION
            
Mr. Havens noted that budget development is underway for the 2002-2003 school year. He asked Mr. Atseff to review Draft #1 of the capital portion of the proposed budget.
Mr. Atseff reviewed the areas of operations, maintenance and debt service. Appropriations are less except for the proposed replacement of a service vehicle, a truck for snow plowing and some preventative maintenance projects. Tentative information on cost increases for health insurance and retirement plans (employer share) are also allocated in this portion as required by the three-part budget format.
Mr. Havens stated that preliminary estimates of a “status quo” budget for 2002-2003 with no staff or program changes show a 17% increase in the property tax levy. The major factors for this increase are less state aid expected, collective bargaining agreements, lower earnings in invested funds, increases in health insurance and retirement costs and reduced assessed value of the nuclear power plant.
He added that it is unlikely that the community would accept that level of tax levy increase and that the administrative staff is prioritizing items and considering ways to operate more efficiently to reduce the proposed tax levy. He asked trustees to consider the level of increase in the tax levy they would consider acceptable for 2002-2003. He added that schools throughout the region and state are facing similar estimates of double-digit increases in the tax levy.
Mr. Griswold asked what 17% would mean in terms of tax dollars; Mr. Havens stated appx. $2.5 more in the total tax levy.
Mr. Anderson asked if the district would end the current fiscal year with a fund balance equal to that used to reduce the tax levy for this fiscal year; Mr. Havens stated yes. He added that spending for all but essential items is terminated effective February 15, 2002.
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Johnson asked how much of the projected tax levy increase is due to projections of less state aid; Mr. Havens stated appx. 90%. He noted that the district is also faced with the reduction of $13 to $15 million in the assessed value based on the agreement by the Town of Ontario to reduce the value of the nuclear power station.
Mr. Griswold asked if our community is growing in terms of assessed value, apart from the Ginna matter. Mr. Atseff stated it is and noted that the town’s planned reduction in the value of Ginna resulted in a net decrease in total assessed value of the school district of $2 to $4 million in the past two years.
Mr. Wyse stated that the annual reduction in the nuclear plant assessment is equivalent to the demolition each year of l50 homes assessed at the average local residential assessed value of $l00,000. Mr. Havens stated he is continuing to have discussions with the Ontario Town Supervisor about options to address the annual reduction in assessed valuation.
Mr. Johnson asked if our district faces any of the financial challenges of the Rochester City School District. Mr. Atseff stated no and noted the different financial structure of large city school districts. Mr. Havens noted that annual voter consideration of central school district budgets makes them more accountable to their community.
Mr. Robusto commended Mr. Havens, Mr. Atseff and the staff involved for their proactive efforts to address shortfalls in state aid and to plan for the future with prospects of less aid.
E. UPDATE ON POTENTIAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
              (Mr. Johnson left the meeting @ 9:16 p.m.)       (Mr. Johnson returned to the meeting @ 9:25 p.m.) 
Mrs. Brunner stated that the facilities committee, comprised of herself, as chairperson, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Griswold, Mr. Havens and Mr. Atseff, met since the last school board meeting to review the information and comments from prior discussions on capital improvement needs.
The committee assembled the issues into three major categories: swimming pool, consolidation of Grades K to 5, and needed capital improvements and refinements. (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)
Mrs. Brunner noted that the topic of a swimming pool was determined by the school board at a prior meeting as a separate proposition for community consideration at the May, 2002 annual school election. The committee asked Mr. Havens to provide and present to the community information on the costs for design, construction, operation, maintenance and debt service of a swimming pool to provide a full picture for consideration by the community. A decision on location of a proposed pool would occur after a community decision is made.
On the topic of consolidation of Grades K to 5, the committee does not feel the district is prepared to proceed along those lines and recommends that the school board request the superintendent of schools to continue to study the program and related details of that issue and report to the Board of Education at a future time.
On the topic of capital improvement needs, the committee organized them in three areas: must do, should do, and would like to do. They decided to concentrate on “must do” items in each of the schools and completion of items at James A. Beneway Senior High School instead of doing a few “should do” items at each of the schools.
Discussion on the committee’s report is generally summarized as follows:
Mr. Ratcliffe noted the architect’s presentation on the state aid eligibility of capital items with or without a swimming pool at any of our buildings and asked how that unknown would factor into information about a pool for the community. Mr. Havens noted that a potential location could be identified as part of cost estimates.
Mr. Robusto thanked the facilities committee for its work in assembling these items and asked if the proposed bus loop work at the high school is a parallel road to Route 350 as proposed by the architect. Mrs. Brunner noted the proposal is for a parallel road from the middle school to the high school with an additional entry point at the existing south parking lot of the high school.
Mr. Wyse asked if the proposed loop includes access from the high school east to Ontario Elementary and Ontario Primary Schools; Mrs. Brunner stated no.
Mr. Ratcliffe asked what next steps the Board of Education should take.
Mrs. Brunner stated that the committee plans to meet on February 26, 2002 at 6:00 p.m. to interview potential construction management firms. They also plan to conduct further discussion on a timeline for a potential referendum and additional steps in planning a future capital improvement project.
Mr. Wyse noted that in light of financial information presented this evening about the proposed 2002-2003 budget, the date for a capital improvement project referendum remains an uncertainty. Mr. Havens stated that the facilities committee plans to present a recommended timeline for consideration by trustees in March, 2002.
Mr. Robusto asked if upgrades to the district telephone system are still a “must do” item; Mrs. Brunner stated it was.
Mr. Griswold stated that just as Mr. Havens has asked trustees to consider the amount of property tax levy they feel is acceptable for the budget, he would like to know how trustees feel about the size and tax impact of a capital facilities project. He encouraged trustees to share their views with members of the facilities committee.
Mrs. Lyke stated it looks like the committee has narrowed the project down well. Mrs. Brunner stated the committee hopes to make some further refinements.
Mr. Ratcliffe clarified that his understanding is that the committee would proceed to develop recommendations as if there was a proposal for voter consideration at the annual school election in May, 2002 but they have not yet determined the date of a referendum. Mrs. Brunner stated that is correct.
Mr. Havens added that there are also still unknowns about the new funding process for capital improvement work and aid for debt service by the NYS Education Department. Mr. Atseff has attended three meetings to date on the topic and final information is still unavailable. The timeline for any referendum or proposition must include information about the potential state aid and local property tax impact of capital improvement projects.
Mr. Griswold noted recent media reports about school districts that have conducted or are proceeding with capital improvement proposals; either they know information we do not or are proceeding with uncertain estimates. Mr. Havens stated that some of those projects were based on the former state regulations, which could change.
Mrs. Brunner briefly reviewed the items on the “must do” list for each of the schools, replacement of asbestos floor tiles, stair treads, stairways, sidewalks and renovations to provide visibility and security for access to each school from their main entry points.

F. STUDENT QUESTIONS
 
(1) Jake Angelo, 846 Berg Road, Ontario, extended compliments to the high school staff and asked if there are any unknown items that might occur prior to his graduation this spring. Mrs. Morrin stated there are no major items planned.
 
(2) Steve Young, 1558 Ridge Road, Ontario Center, suggested increased efforts to submit results and scores of local athletic events to daily news media outlets He noted the wrestling team as an example of statewide honors that merit recognition. He also feels that increased coverage would result in fewer questions to athletes when they visit other schools about where our district is located.
 
(3) Leah Paszkiewicz, 769l Roder Parkway, Ontario, asked if a future consolidation of Ontario Elementary School and Ontario Primary School into a single school would result in any loss of jobs among teaching and support staff. Mr. Havens stated that a consolidated school would require appropriate staff and he does not anticipate any reduction in the number of positions. He added that the normal turnover of personnel should not result in loss of any jobs.
 
(4) Becky Sullivan, 872 Willets Road, Ontario, noted research that indicates that older students work better later in the day and younger children earlier in the day and asked if the school board has ever considered switching start times for the school day with elementary children starting earlier. Mr. Havens noted that the Eagle Visionaries Team at the high school is considering a wide range of issues that impact student success and achievement.

G. Mr. Ratcliffe commented on how fortunate our district is to have such a dedicated group of staff members working on the model schools projects in addition to their regular duties. He noted their level of enthusiasm and support was very evident this evening.
 
H. Mr. Johnson stated that he, too, was pleased with the high school team’s presentation on model schools and is pleased to see the vision reflected in plans for courses for all students in life skills, parenting and new uses of technology. Mr. Havens noted that they are a great group of teachers.
 
I. Mr. Griswold noted that ownership of the model schools’ effort was highly evident with the high school team this evening and the more indication of that, the better; they can truly say that they are not yet quite ready with their work.
 
J. Mrs. Lyke is curious to know the level of involvement and ownership of the rest of the staff in the model schools’ concept.
 
K. Mr. Griswold recalled his participation in the national model schools workshops and the importance of ownership and involvement; he added that each of the l30 new, untenured staff members has the opportunity to incorporate the program into their teaching.
 
L. Mr. Triou stated that the opportunit to present plaques to the science olympiad students was a special highlight for him as a school trustee and he looks forward to additional opportunities to recognize student achievement in this manner. He added his compliments to the students and their coaches for their achievements. Mr. Johnson noted the timeliness of the students’ t-shirts to reflect the American spirit.
                 
XVI. ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Triou offered a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 9:52 p.m. 9 Ayes, 0 Nays, Carried.
