1. | Project Change Orders: A question was raised about the percent of change orders in our last project. That number was 7%. After the project was substantially finished there was money left over so some additional items were completed. These included such things as tiling at the Middle School and running fiber optics between buildings on the main campus. These last items were what Lyle referred to as “good change orders.” |
2. | Special Education Numbers: I recently received an updated list of classified students from Mrs. Woodard which I have enclosed for your review. Our Middle and High school numbers are higher than would be expected. We believe they are the result of a time when students were more readily classified as well as student transfers. Page two of the document shows the number and percent of out-of-district placements. The number of students in the Wayne BOCES placement is currently only 4. You will recall that two years ago, when we first made the commitment to bring back our children, there were 22 of our students there. If Sandy continues to be able to build our own programs we should be prepared to take back those final kids when BOCES leaves. |
3. | NYSSBA Programs: Listed below are the programs discussed at our Wednesday Board meeting. (attached) |
4. | John DonVito Update: On Halloween, Mr. DonVito’s house and new truck were vandalized with spray paint. The truck had to be completely repainted. The high school has worked closely with the police and three high school boys have confessed. Because of the nature and expense of the crime they have been charged with 2nd degree criminal mischief. |
5. | Meeting with the Commissioner of Education – The president of the New York State Council of School Superintendents has invited a couple of state superintendents to a meeting requested by the Commissioner of Education. I have been involved with a committee that has been meeting in Albany regarding the NYS testing requirements, including the scoring. Because of that involvement (and my intense charm, profound intelligence, dashing good looks, steadfast courage and magnetic personality), I was invited by the council president to participate in this meeting. At this time the date has not been confirmed. I will let you know how this proceeds. |
