V. BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS

Mr. Griswold noted that he had the opportunity to accompany the middle school’s science olympiad team to state competition at SUNY New Paltz. The team’s final score was one point shy of second place behind teams from Long Island and from a school with a full-time science olympiad program. He noted the fine efforts of our students and staff advisors and that their achievements are an excellent example of the “product” of our schools.

Mr. Anderson noted that he and Mrs. Brunner attended the annual meeting of Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES at the trade and technical center in Williamson and extended compliments to the food service students for their excellent efforts.

VI.

BOARD PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS

Mr. Wyse stated that he was pleased to accompany the varsity baseball team to Cooperstown for competition and noted the excellent efforts of our students.

Mr. Wyse noted that three (3) petitions were filed for the school trustee seats on the school election ballot on May 21^st; incumbents Mr. Ratcliffe and Mr. Johnson and resident Mrs. Jo-Onna Diller are the three candidates.

Mr. Wyse stated that he had the opportunity to speak with some of our seniors and some parents about the recent senior trip to Chicago and was pleased to learn that they enjoyed the activities at this new venue.

Mr. Wyse extended condolences to the families of Lon Bassage, a local alumnus who served on the Board of Education from l973 to l977, and Roger S. Pembroke, a Walworth resident, who served on the school board of the newly centralized school district in 1949 and was later principal for grades K to 6 in Ontario and Walworth and then principal at Walworth Elementary School from l951 to l979, on their recent passing.

VII. REPORT ON ACTION ITEMS BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Mr. Havens noted he sent a letter of congratulations on behalf of the Board of Education to eighth grader Erik Larson and invited him and his parents to attend the May 14^th school board meeting to recognize his awards for the stream study of Mill Creek in Walworth and Ontario.

VIII.

REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

DISCUSSION ON OPTIONS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROPOSALS

Mr. Havens presented an outline of five (5) options for capital improvement projects developed following discussions at the last school board meeting for review and consideration by the Board of Education. (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)

Discussion on the options and related details of potential capital improvement projects is generally summarized as follows:

Mr. Griswold asked what amount per thousand of assessed value the tax rate would increase for potential capital improvements in light of declining debt obligations of the district. Mr. Havens noted that the combination of the declining debt obligation, state building aid and the revenue from the pouring rights agreement with Pepsi Cola would allow a proposed capital improvement project of $5.5 million with no increase in the tax rate.

Mr. Griswold noted that each 1.0% increase in the tax rate is equivalent to appx. $2.1 million in additional capital project costs.

Mr. Griswold asked how the new debt amortization schedules established by the State Education Department effect us. Mr. Havens stated that the new regulations are still not clear and the new amortization schedules will not have an effect until the 2003-2004 fiscal year. He added that there is still uncertainty about the possibilities of financing through the NYS Dormitory Authority at no cost to local school districts.

Mr. Griswold stated that he is very comfortable with three (3) separate propositions, one for the “must do” items (estimated $5.5 million with a zero tax increase), a second one for the “should do” items (appx. $5 million), and the third proposition for a swimming pool (estimated cost of $4 million).

Mr. Ratcliffe stated that he endorses the approach outlined by Mr. Griswold.

Mr. Anderson and Mr. Johnson noted they would support that approach as well.

Mrs. Lyke stated that she feels that the “should do” items are also extremely important and would include them in a single proposition with the “must do” items. She added that the ad hoc committee, the facilities committee and the school board has done their homework in the review and study of the needs of the district and does not support separating the “must do” and “should do” items. She feels that the community would support a proposition.

Mr. Robusto stated that he tended to agree with Mrs. Lyke on a single proposition for “must do” and “should do” items. He noted that they include items that need attention based on careful review and study by groups noted by Mrs. Lyke. He also feels that more than two (2) propositions appear to present items ala carte and he favors the more simple approach. He has always favored presentation of a swimming pool as a separate item for voter consideration.

Mr. Triou asked if the ballot would require approval of one proposition to allow the other. He supports the approach of three (3) propositions and believes that if the voters are informed, we should let them decide.

Mr. Anderson stated he agrees with the approach of a third proposition for a swimming pool and two (2) separate propositions for “must do” and “should do” items. He noted that the ad hoc and facilities committees have spent over a year in review and determination of the items and some persons on the ad hoc committee would wonder if their time were well spent if the school board combines those items into an single proposition.

Mr. Havens stated that it appears that trustees have condensed the proposed options to one or two propositions for “must do” and “should do” items and a separate proposition for a swimming pool and he would support either of them.

Mrs. Brunner noted that the school board’s facilities committee felt that three (3) propositions would mean one would lose. Mrs. Lyke concurred that was a possibility.

Mr. Wyse stated he strongly supports one proposition for the “must do” and “should do items to meet academic and facilities needs and a separate proposition for a swimming pool. He feels that the proposition should include a contingency that a swimming pool could not pass if the first proposition failed.

Mr. Ratcliffe asked how soon after a referendum the school board could present [a] proposal (s) for voter consideration. Mr. Havens noted that forty-five (45) days are required for public notice plus additional time to re-format propositions.

Mr. Griswold stated that keeping the “must do” and “should do” items in separate propositions would would almost guarantee that the “must do” items would receive voter approval and views that as a good place to start.

Mr. Wyse stated he supports one proposition for both “must do” and “should do” items since the essential “should do” items could fail as a separate proposition. Mr. Havens noted the approach used to present the items would have an impact on the coalitions that might form.

Mrs. Lyke stated that she viewed the separation of the proposed capital improvements as “must do” and “should do” items as an effort to aid in review and study the needs by the Board of Education. In the final analysis, the “must do” and “should do” items were determined as needed. She added that the public has elected trustees for just that reason and feels that the school board has done its job.

Mr. Griswold is not comfortable considering “should do” and “must do” items in a single proposition.

Mr. Wyse stated he supports combining those two items in a single proposition.

Mrs. Brunner asked if it is necessary to make final decisions this evening. Mr. Havens stated no.

Mr. Wyse favors postponing a final decision on capital improvement items until the outcome of the school budget vote is known. He asked the pleasure of trustees on that approach.

Mr. Ratcliffe asked if there are any additional cost implications related to the proposed capital improvement items. Mr. Havens stated that a meeting with the school architect and the construction management firm is set for May 8^th to complete final cost estimates.

Mr. Ratcliffe stated that is important to keep in mind that decisions on “must do” and “should do” items were based on needs of the district and it is a matter of how that information in presented to the community.

Mr. Wyse feels that trustees will have a better sense of voter support for capital improvement items after the school budget vote.

Mrs. Brunner disagreed. She believes that trustees should proceed with plans for a capital improvement referendum and sees no need to wait until after the budget vote since the review and study of the capital improvement items has occurred parallel to budget development. She feels it is important for the Board of Education to look to the future; she does not wish to have these decisions made after Mr. Anderson, a member of the ad hoc committee and the school board facilities committee, retires at the end of his term on June 30, 2002.

Mrs. Brunner added that the school board needs to present the information to voters and enlist support for proposed capital improvement items by making its expectations clear.

Mr. Johnson stated he agreed with Mrs. Brunner.

Mr. Robusto asked for clarification if the swimming pool proposal would pass only if the other proposition passed because the pool would cost more as a separate item. Mr. Anderson noted that the cost for construction of a swimming pool is estimated at $4 million with or without state aid.

Mr. Wyse stated that the reason for linking approval of capital improvement items to the approval of a pool is to insure that the “must do” and “should do” items are approved not only a pool.

Mr. Havens stated that the cost to the taxpayer for a swimming pool would equal approximately one-third of the total cost of pool construction if the NYS Education Department allows 100% of the items at the school district’s aid ratio. He is working with the school architect to confirm this data.

Mr. Johnson asked what a swimming pool would actually cost the taxpayer.

Mr. Havens stated that the combined total estimated cost for the “must do” and “should do” items and a swimming pool is $15 million. After consideration of debt reduction in the budget and revenue from pouring rights, supra, the local tax liability would equal approximately $2.6 million.

Mr. Anderson stated that such a scenario suggests the possibility of presenting a single proposition for all of the items for a total of $l5 million as a one time level of local cost to the taxpayer.

Mr. Johnson stated that such an approach would require presentation of the capital improvement proposals in the manner outlined by Mr. Havens this evening.

Mr. Havens stated that the expectation is that our proposed capital improvements would qualify for 100% of aid at our district’s building aid ratio of 67%. Mr. Johnson noted that would leave 33% of the cost for local taxpayers and a local tax increase of appx. 4.6%.

Mr. Triou noted that any increase in the tax rate for proposed capital improvements would occur in addition to the projected 9.2% increase in taxes for the proposed 2002-2003 school budget. Mr. Atseff clarified that the estimated 4.6% tax increase for capital improvements would not occur in the 2002-2003 school year but in two or three years when any new debt payments begin.

Mr. Anderson stated that it appears that including the “must do” and “should do” items in a single proposition, without a swimming pool, would result in a projected tax increase of 2.6% and, with a swimming pool, a projected tax increase of 4.6%.

Mrs. Lyke noted that after all of the considerations and discussions from prior meetings and this evening, it is still essential that the Board of Education present the information about capital improvement items tot the public in a simplified format.

Mr. Triou asked if more residents would attend a public meeting about capital improvement items than the normal audience at school board meetings. Mr. Havens stated that his experience is to present information to as many persons and organizations as possible and seek support for proposed items.

Mr. Griswold recalled discussions at facilities committee meetings that a capital improvement project of appx. $5.4 million would have no impact on the tax rate and that the tax rate would increase by appx. 1.0% for each additional $2.1 million in cost for capital improvements. Mr. Havens confirmed that was accurate.

Mr. Griswold feels that trustees are polarized on the approach to a referendum as this point and are not ready to decide the issues this evening.

Mr. Wyse stated he is personally not comfortable making a decision on the capital improvement items prior to the May 21^st budget vote.

Mr. Ratcliffe stated he is not as much concerned about making a decision prior to the budget vote than he is that trustees are fully prepared to make a decision on the approach to a capital improvement referendum.

Mr. Griswold asked how the amortization of debt for proposed capital improvement projects would occur, Mr. Havens and Mr. Atseff reviewed the new state regulations on structuring debt payments on new construction, additions or renovations/alterations. Final details on these new regulations are still unknown.

Mr. Anderson asked when the next significant reduction in the district’s existing debt obligations would occur. Mr. Atseff noted that the new state regulations will also apply to existing debt and new amortization schedules are not yet developed. He added that decisions on the structure of any new debt would occur after consultation with the district’s financial advisors.

Mr. Johnson suggested that new amortization of the district’s debt obligations would reflect a downward progression.

Based on this evening’s discussion, Mr. Wyse suggested including the option to include all capital project items, including a swimming pool, in a single proposition.

ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS RE: SEQRA FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

Mr. Havens presented the proposed resolutions related to the state environmental review (SEQRA) process for capital improvement projects for review and consideration by the Board of Education.

Mr. Atseff reviewed the SEQRA process and noted that there are two resolutions, one for potential additional space in excess of 10,000-sq. ft. at James A.

Once the NYS Education Department completes the review process, the Board of Education will need to adopt another resolution formally declaring no environmental impact.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS [FOR GIFTED & TALENTED STUDENTS]

The Board of Education believes that enrichment programs [traditionally viewed for the gifted and talented student] greatly benefit the entire school program and encourages programs that provide enrichment opportunities for all students. The Board of Education also encourages educational programs that challenge and promote the realization of individual potential in all students.

Further, the Board of Education recognizes that the allocation of resources toward appropriate enrichment programs [for students identified as gifted and talented] is necessary and must be done in a way that is educationally sound as well as cost-effective.

Consistent with district efforts to develop a continuum of learning experiences which address the special gifts and talents of students, the superintendent of schools, with input from appropriate school personnel, will develop a plan for enrichment programs [education of gifted and talented students]

The superintendent of schools will submit a status report to the Board of Education, on an annual basis, which will include:

(1) the criteria for student participation in programs,
(2) the status of ongoing programs,
(3) recommendations for new programs
(4) the identification and allocation of resources for all on-going and recommended programs
(5) provisions for staff development to promote effective implementation of programs, and
(6) provisions for ongoing monitoring and evaluation of students and programs

The Board of Education recognizes the value of community support for program success and encourages the use of community resources for special programs and periodic reporting of activities through the district newsletter.
