As long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it into existence or clearing the way for it. - - George Bernard Shaw
Greetings from Wayne Central School District. Below are some items of interest.
Board Meeting:
| 1.
| Flag Presentation - Don Peets and Don Luann will be presenting the Board with a large flag and flag stand for use in the high school auditorium. They represent a group called “Sons of the American Legion” and they raise money in conjunction with American Legion events. The flag stand in the auditorium presently is without the eagle on top and is broken (and taped) at the base. Don Peets identified the need and recommended this donation to the Sons of the American Legion.
|
| 2.
| Model Schools Presentation – A team of high school staff will be presenting the model schools plan. A copy of the plan is enclosed. The team has done a great job of putting this plan together. It will result in a high school program that truly will be a model. I am very sure the Board will be very pleased with the plan. The one concern that you probably will have is the costs in light of the state budget woes. We are recommending a 2% increase the first year and 1% thereafter. We understand this is only possible of we have a reasonable tax rate (what ever that is). Please review the document and call of email me with any questions.

| 3.
| Albany Report - I spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in Albany meeting with fellow superintendents, state officials and our legislators. I will give an update.
|
| 4.
| Board Action Items – We will be putting one bus driver, who has run out of sick time, on medical leave.

| Friday Morning Accident – This morning there was an accident at the Middle School Driveway involving one of our high school students and the daughter of a middle school teacher. The HS student, Tim Vendel had a nose bleed and some discomfort in his chest. He waited in the middle school for the ambulance. Deb Bussard (MS ELA teacher) accompanied her daughter to the hospital. She appeared to have a broken arm. We do not have any further information on her condition, although there were no other obvious injuries. The accident itself caused a major traffic situation that required part of 350 to be closed for approximately 30 – 45 minutes. Buses were held at the high school and brought into the middle school a few at a time. Many staff and students were delayed in arriving at school. The middle school had all the students assemble in the cafeteria and dismissed them to their first period teachers as they arrived. In the high school, all staff that was available was summoned to the office and covered the classes where teachers had not yet arrived. Mr. Armocida noted that the State Police and the Firemen both spoke very highly of the professional and caring way the middle school staff handled the situation and commended the students on their fine behavior as well.
