VIII. REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
  
Mr. Havens extended welcome and best wishes for 2003 to all present.

UPDATE ON 2002 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
 

Mr. Havens displayed floor plans to illustrate preliminary additions, renovations and improvements included in the 2002 capital improvement project. He noted that the construction design review teams at each school would review them in detail and provide feedback to the district design review team and the architect.

 
The plans showed new and revised uses of existing classroom spaces at each of the schools and the scope of changes at the high school for new science and applied technology classrooms, re-located art classrooms, expansion of the cafeteria dining room and re-location of the fitness center, among others. Updates to the classrooms built in the 1950’s and 1960’s were also noted.
 
Renovations to entry and lobby areas to meet security and monitor access at Freewill Elementary School and Thomas C. Armstrong Middle School were noted
 
 
Mr. Havens stated that the architect will use the feedback from staff review of these plans to develop final project drawings. Trustees will view those plans at a future meeting, hopefully in January.
 
Mrs. Lyke asked if any discussion has occurred on changing classroom lighting. She noted that she recently experienced headaches when attending a meeting in the middle school’s library-media center and that recent discussions at some state meetings have noted the importance of classroom environment on learning. She suggested that the architect explore the issue.
 
Mr. Havens stated that no funds were earmarked in the project for new lighting but improvements to existing fixtures could occur as part of renovations and improvements.
 
Mrs. Brunner asked about the roof leak in a storage area noted in the design review team minutes at Freewill Elementary School. Mr. Havens noted the leak was traced to roof flashing and that district staff would make repairs. The item is not structural in nature.
 
Mrs. Brunner asked if items discovered in the design review process are addressed now or included as capital project items. Mr. Havens stated that Mr. Atseff and Mr. Davis inspect the schools each month to monitor such needs.
 

REVIEW OF INSTRUCTIONAL PRIORITIES FOR 2003-2004 SCHOOL YEAR
 
 
Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Spring, assistant superintendent for instruction, to provide a progress report on district goals for 2002-2003 and to review instructional priorities for the 2003-2004 school year for review and consideration by the Board of Education.
Mr. Spring shared district goals for 2002-2003 in areas of instructional program, professional development, facility/financial resources and parent/community partnerships and reviewed a list of specific items related to completion during the school year. (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting) He noted that some areas reflect desired outcomes and some are still underway and that staff members are making intense efforts in this regard.
 
 
He reviewed on-going efforts in student literacy, including grant funds awarded last summer, and in creating a model lesson plan that reflects district expectations for teaching. Staff members are engaged in extensive staff development in the “understanding by design” concept that uses the desired outcome as the starting point for planning classroom and instructional activities for students.
Mr. Spring noted that two main issues have emerged as instructional priorities for the 2003-2004 school year; one, regular review and problem-solving of targets set for student achievement and the other, incorporating the model lesson plan and concept of understanding by design in tailoring instruction to meet goals for classroom instruction and staff development.
 
Both of these areas will serve as filters for program design and allocation of resources for the proposed 2003-2004 school budget and as factors considered in facilities improvements.
 
(Mr. Wyse entered the meeting @ 7:58 p.m.) 
Mr. Spring asked if trustees had any items they wished to have considered as instructional priorities for 2003-2004.
 
Mr. Johnson asked how the high school would inform parents prior to the start of the new block schedule for 2003-2004. He has received questions from some parents of current eighth graders. Mrs. Morrin, high school principal, noted that she has provided preliminary information in the building newsletter and reviewed plans to share and explain the new schedule with students and parents.
 
Mrs. Lyke noted recent news media reports on the top companies nationwide as ranked by their employees. She noted that a local firm, Wegman’s Food Stores, was ranked in the top ten and cited their efforts to address issues and trends from those rankings. She suggested a similar survey by school districts to learn how staff members perceive success and areas for improvement.
 
Mr. Griswold noted release of survey results in today’s Democrat & Chronicle on teacher retention in the Rochester City School District.
 

Mr. Spring noted that some surveys and research are available in those areas and cited local efforts for orientation and mentoring of new staff members. School districts use the percentage of staff turnover as one measure of effectiveness.
 
Mrs. Lyke asked who sponsors the model lesson plans and learning for understanding programs. Mr. Spring reviewed the credentials of the authors of the program through the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). He also reviewed local staff development efforts underway in this area.
 
 

 
Mrs. Brunner asked what impact the new federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) regulations have had on our district and if they have precedence over state laws and regulations.
Mr. Spring stated that local districts are still sorting out the changes in reporting and paperwork and some regulations are still emerging. The major effect on our district is a sharper focus on issues already measured – student achievement, staff training and performance. He noted that states must comply with NCLB in order to receive federal aid or grants.
 
Mr. Havens stated that NCLB also includes assessment of student achievement at each grade level rather than at the traditional fourth, fifth and eighth grades in New York State. One expected advantage over state testing is that local districts will conduct the assessments and have immediate results to use in making necessary program adjustments.
 
Mr. Havens thanked trustees for their input and stated it will assist in budget development.
 

C. MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTS
 
  
Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Atseff to present monthly financial reports for review and consideration by the Board of Education.
Mr. Atseff presented reports and information through December 31, 2002 as follows:
(copies filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)
(1) Revenue Status Report: 62% of budgeted revenues have arrived.
 
(2) Expense Report – General Fund: 33% of the general fund allocations spent to date; appropriations in good shape.
 
(3) Capital Fund: No changes from prior reports.
 
(4) School Lunch Fund: No change from prior reports.
 
(5) Other Funds (Special Aid, Bus Purchase Reserve, Unemployment, Liability Reserve):

D. STUDENT QUESTIONS
 
(1) Zachary Reno, 4671 Walworth-Ontario Road, Walworth, asked if the planned additions, renovations and improvements presented earlier this evening were due to due to growth in student population or financial reasons. Mr. Havens noted that pupil enrollment, state achievement standards and changing program needs were each factors that impact these improvements.

C. CONSENSUS AGENDA

 
(1) Reports of the School District Treasurer (11/30/02)
(2) Resolution to Accept Annual Audit of Extra-Classroom Activity Funds, FY Ending 6/30/02
(3) Resolution to Purchase of School Busses (School Bus Purchase Reserve Fund)
           
Mr. Havens presented the consensus agenda for review and consideration by the Board of Education.
Mr. Atseff noted that the variance in price of 66-passenger school busses reflects the addition of storage compartments on two (2) of the vehicles.
Mr. Atseff stated that recent changes by the NYS Education Department on uses of school bus purchase reserve funds will require that these proposed purchases appear as a ballot item for voter consideration at the annual school election in May. To insure timely delivery of the vehicles, school districts place orders pending voter approval.
Mr. Wyse stated that he has accompanied students on busses with and without the storage compartments and noted the value of the additional space for transporting equipment for athletic teams and musical groups, among others.
Having reviewed the $2800 total price difference to include storage compartments in each of the four-(4) 66-passenger vehicles, he suggested an increase in the total purchase price to allow the option to include storage compartments on these four (4) vehicles. Mr. Havens noted that school bus purchases are aidable at 67% for our district.
Mr. Griswold offered a MOTION, seconded by Mrs. Brunner, to approve/adopt the consensus agenda, as presented by the superintendent of schools, as follows:
(1) Receive & file reports of the school district treasurer for the period ending November 30, 2002 (copies attached to these minutes in the minute book)

 

(2) Adopt a RESOLUTION to accept the annual audit of Extra-Classroom Activity Funds, FY Ending 6/30/02, TO WIT:

 

RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE

RESOLVED, that the Board of Education does hereby accept the Report on Accounts & Financial Statements of the Extra Classroom Activity Accounts for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2002 as prepared by Raymond P. Wager, CPA, P.C., independent auditors, and authorize and direct the district clerk to forward certified copies and issue public notice as required by law (copy filed in clerk's file)
 

(3) Adopt a RESOLUTION to authorize purchase of school busses from the School Bus Purchase Reserve Fund, with total amount to allow storage compartments in each of the 66-passenger busses, if desired, TO WIT:

 

          
RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE EXPENDUITURE OF FUNDS

Four (4) 66-passenger school busses @ $70,329.00 each
Two (2) 28-passenger school busses @ $41,780.60 each
 
Mr. Wyse asked what disposition is made of any excess monies in the extra-classroom activity fund for the graduating senior class. Mr. Atseff stated it is transferred to the student council fund.
 
Mrs. Lyke asked if training is provided for students and staff who serve as student treasurers and faculty advisors for extra-curricular activities. Mr. Atseff reviewed the orientation and training provided to meet state requirements for management of these extra-classroom funds. Mrs. Lyke noted that this is a valuable learning experience for our students.
 
Mr. Havens noted that the presentation on model schools at a future meeting will include information on related kinds of learning experiences for students.
 
   
Mr. Triou stated that he finds the monthly revenue and expense reports valuable and informative. He asked if we could expect the budget development cycle for 2003-2004 to be any better than last year.
Mr. Havens stated he is attending a statewide superintendents’ meeting in Albany next week that will include meetings with state legislative leaders and our local legislators. He hopes to obtain additional information on state aid for 2003-2004 at that time. While prospects for additional state aid are not great, he believes our district is in good shape based on financial decisions made for the 2002-2003 school year.
Mr. Griswold noted the Governor’s State of the State address indicated only items related to public security are protected in the new state budget.
On the question, the consensus agenda was approved/adopted by a vote of 9 Ayes, 0 Nays.

The External Diploma Program (EDP)

An Adult High School Credential of Demonstrated Competence  

Each year, more than 450,000 adults earn their high school diplomas and many go on for post-secondary study. Most of these adults earn their diplomas by passing the GED Tests sponsored by the American Council on Education (ACE). A second adult high school credentialing option, the External Diploma Program (EDP) is available for New York State adults for whom the testing model or a curriculum-based content may be the barrier to earning the high school diploma they deserve.

What is the External Diploma Program (EDP)?

The NYS External Diploma Program is an adult applied-performance, competency-based, assessment program that credentials skilled adults who have acquired their high school-level abilities through their life experience. The EDP process expects adults to demonstrate their ability in a series of simulations that parallel job and life situations; to be evaluated against an established criteria of performance instead of by comparison with others; to take responsibility for acquiring instruction through existing community resources; and, finally, to achieve mastery of the competencies required, including an occupational or specialized skill. The EDP was originally developed in NYS and was subsequently given to the American Council on Education which made the EDP opportunity available nationally. The program was transferred to Madison Area Technical College (MATC) in March 2000. An electronic version of the current EDP is in development under a contract with the U.S. Department of Education. New York State has representation on the development panel. The electronic version is scheduled for completion in late 2001/early 2002.

What does the EDP process look like?

The program consists of two phases: Diagnostic and Assessment.

A.   In the Diagnostic phase, an advisor conducts an evaluation of the adult’s basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as in an entry-level job skill. The adult then receives a prescriptive analysis of which skills need to be upgraded and a list of community learning resources available. After re-learning has occurred, the adult returns to the EDP office and retests in the areas of deficiency.  

B.   In the Assessment phase, the adult demonstrates the 65 competencies which are embedded in a series of simulations of realistic tasks, such as finding a job or planning a vacation. In this phase, the adult also demonstrates an individualized competency by verifying occupational or special skills, such as art or home management, through an employer evaluation or a performance demonstration in front of a community expert. Academic assessment and completion of training programs can also serve as an individualized competency demonstration. Once this specific skill and the 65 general competencies are demonstrated with 100% mastery and reviewed by another assessment specialist, the high school diploma is awarded through a local school board.
