    4b. BOARD OF EDUCATION
    Cindy Miner gave a synopsis of the workshop, which was facilitated by
    WORKSHOP
    Kathy Wegman. The workshop, which included Administrators, was to
    focus on community communications and public relations, but it
    evolved into a issues resolution session. The Board and Administrators
    had a good, honest exchange of dialogue. A new date for another
    workshop will be scheduled after Dr. Starr joins the District.
     
    4c. BUDGET UPDATE
    Jeff Lisanto spoke of the budget Committee meeting held prior to the
    Board Meeting. The budgeting process this year has been extremely
    hard, given the higher cost of insurance premiums, workers’
    compensation, increases TRS and ERS contributions, and fuel costs
    that are greater than ever. The Governor has proposed decreasing State
    Aid to the district by more than $600,000, but there are no firm figures
    to work with as the state budget has not been settled. The district has
    reduced expenses, and the proposed budget is 2.8% lower than last
    year’s, or down $624,000. This poses a tax levy of over 9% for the
    2003­04 school year.

    improvements for all students. Administrators and Board Members
    voiced their support to maintain the districts efforts to improve State
    Assessment scores.

    Mathematics Curriculum Coordinator, Joe Rotelli led the

    by outlining revised and new course offerings, which will
    give students alternative classes to achieve the math requirements for
    Regents credit. The changes are designed to extend the length of the
    course to help reinforce instruction, as all students must complete 3
    credits of math in order to graduate. A resolution to approve the new
    courses will appear on the May 13, 2003 agenda.
     
    5i. ADOPTION OF 2003­2004
    Ed Magin led a discussion of the staff cuts proposed during the
    BUDGET
    development of the 2003­04 school budget. There is great concern that
    eliminating all Agriculture courses will underserve a segment of
    students. These courses include The Art of Welding and Motor
    Mysteries. All Board Members voiced similar concerns.
    Superintendent Miner indicated that this curriculum might be added
    back as a half­time position due to the fact that she just learned of
    another retirement, and also learned that another position would be
    vacated for the next school year.
     
     
    Deb Stuck reported the new budget figures given the information that
    two staff members would not be returning. Jeff Lisanto took a straw
    vote to gauge Board Member support for a half­time Agriculture
    teaching position. Each member said that they would support this
    change to the budget.
     
     
    Based on the discussion, the 2003­04 proposed Budget was increased
    from $21,571,315 to $21,575,053 to reflect the addition of a .5 FTE
    Agriculture teacher position.
