Greetings from Wayne Central School District. Below are some items of interest.
 
Board Meeting:

   
1. Executive session- There are two things I need to talk to you about in executive session. The first involves our school resource officer and the second involves the spring track coach decision.

 

2. Full day Kindergarten- I will answer any additional questions you have about full day kindergarten. Greg has some financial information to share and then our president will ask for a vote. Greg has some very good news about the financial end of the program. New York State should be able to fund the entire first year costs of this program with the exception of the furniture. I have enclosed Greg’s letter on the subject (att. a).

 

3. Academic Report- It is time for our first quarter report. Copies are enclosed and we will be reviewing it with you on Wednesday.

 

4. Budget Calendar- It is time to begin talking about next year’s budget. We have enclosed a suggested calendar which Greg will review and ask you to approve.

 

5. Board Action- There are a number of things for Board action. I want to point out to you the Single Audit Report which monitors our federal programs. As you can see from the report, everything is in good order.

 

6. Policy – Policy 1550 on Board Meeting Recording Procedures is submitted for first reading. Policy 5430 on Use of District Credit Cards is submitted for second reading and approval.

 
 
Newsletter:
  

1. Student Wrestler Update – Many of you were contacted about a parent who was upset with Mr. Freischlag’s decision to suspend a wrestler from a scrimmage last week. Let me bring you up to date on that issue.

 
I met with Mr. and Mrs. Bray and Bradley last Wednesday over Mr. Freischlag’s decision to suspend Bradley from that day's match. The three of them felt Bradley was suspended because Mr. Freischlag was angry that statements were made about weight loss and the wrestling program. Bradley had objected to the original meeting with the teachers and being part of a discussion with me because he felt it would make matters worse for him. The Brays felt Mr. Freischlag might be trying to get him off the team. After about two hours, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley were calmed down, appeared to accept the reasons for the discipline, and admitted that Mrs. Bray was wrong about the weight. They agreed that Bradley was healthier now than before, that he was eating better (except for salads) and that his difficulties in class were not all that related to wrestling. They agreed to meet with Mr. Freischlag so that any misunderstandings could be cleared up, so that Bradley could move forward after this discipline, and to answer concerns about Bradley's health. I suggested this last part because of previous emails Mr. Freischlag had sent

  
Next I met with Mr. Freischlag. He was pretty upset at first and did not want to meet with the parents. Over time he calmed down. It was agreed that Mr. Blankenberg, Mr. Freischlag and the Brays would meet to clear up the misunderstandings and to talk about Bradley's health issues. Mr. Blankenberg set the meeting for last Wednesday. Unfortunately Mr. Freischlag didn’t show up. Mr. Blankenberg met with the Brays alone and tried to smooth things over. He met with Mr. Freischlag the next day who said he thought the meeting was some place else.
I have also talked to the Brays since that time and think we have tempers under control, at least for the moment.

 

2. Question of the Month – Each month we pose a new question on the Wayne Web Page. The most recent question and the results are as follows: “Some public schools in New York State are considering school uniforms as a way of making students feel part of a single group, to eliminate "gang" attire, and to reduce clothing costs for parents. Would you favor having students wear uniforms at Wayne Central?”  123 Agree; 582 Disagree. Please email me suggestions for our future questions of the month.

 

3. Administrator Honored: Athletic Director Marc Blankenberg has been selected to receive the 2003-04 Section 5 Athletic Administrator Award. He will be honored at the annual section 5 meeting as well as the New York Conference being held in March. This certainly speaks well of Marc.
4. Building Project Update: We have not heard anything from SED yet. We are hoping for approval by the end of this month. We have had some good news however about one aspect of the project. The plan calls for bringing in a substantial amount of fill for the northern end of the new track. At a recent project meeting we suggested using the mounds of soil in the south east corner of our property. The soil was tested and is acceptable. This will save us a nice amount of money!

Re:  Full Day Kindergarten
 
 
  I have some very good news concerning Full Day Kindergarten. As part of the state aid process, I am required to give the state education a date when the district would consider moving to a full day program. Based on this, I assumed there might be some state aid implications moving to a full day program. I contacted state aid planning, and I was correct. Under present law, there is state aid available in the year a district moves to a full day program. Basically, the calculation takes the enrollment increase of full day kindergarten students, multiplied by a dollar amount per student. For Wayne that calculation equals $297,000. This seemed like a large sum of money, so I called state aid planning a second time to verify that I was understanding the calculation correctly. I talked to the most senior person there, and she verified that the $297,000 is an accurate amount.
 
 It is important to note that this is true under present law. Secondly, this is one-time money. The district would not receive this money in 2004/2005, unless the state allows the operating aid formula’s to flow. With this amount of state aid available, it just about eliminates the cost to implement a full day program.

POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

DATE: Thursday, December 4, 2003 TIME: 4:00 p.m. PLACE: District Office

 
PRESENT:  Trustees Triou, Lyke, Diller; Mr. Havens, Mr. Switzer
 
PRIOR MEETING MINUTES:  Minutes of the meeting November 20th, 2003 were reviewed and filed.
 
OLD BUSINESS:   
 
Policy 5430 – Use of District Credit Cards: Mr. Triou noted that first reading of proposed revisions to this policy was conducted at the Board of Education meeting of November 19th. Following discussion, committee members approved final adjustments to the text for second reading by the Board of Education at the business meeting of December 10, 2003.
 
Discussion of Videotaping of School Board Meetings: Mr. Triou reviewed research he and Mr. Switzer had conducted on the topic both from a search of sample items on the Internet and the state school boards’ association policy service and from other school districts. Advisory opinions from the NYS Committee on Open Government and review of the NYSSBA School Law Handbook were also consulted.
 
The research indicated that court rulings have upheld that public bodies, including school boards, may not prohibit videotaping or broadcasting of their public meetings by private individuals, the news media or public access cable stations. The public body may, however, develop guidelines for the use of videotaping or broadcast devices at their meetings to prevent them from delaying or disturbing meeting proceedings.
 

The committee reviewed a draft policy prepared by Mr. Switzer. Following detailed review and discussion, the committee agreed to present a proposed policy for first reading at the December 10, 2003 meeting of the Board of Education.

 
Discussion of Liability for Student Fund-Raising Activities: Mr. Triou noted that no sample policies were located among school districts in New York State. Mr. Switzer reported on his discussion with the district’s insurance agent who advised that the district’s insurance policies provide liability coverage where incidents occur where responsibility of the school district is determined. As a general rule, it is advisable to avoid including statements about liability in public policy.
 
Mr. Triou noted that the existing Policy 3250 on booster clubs requires them to provide their own insurance. Mr. Havens noted that the booster club does have such insurance.
 
The committee determined that no revisions or modifications to existing policy are necessary at this time.
 
NEW BUSINESS:  
 
Review of Policies Requiring Annual Review: Mr. Triou noted that he would include this topic on the agenda of th next meeting of the committee.
 
Review of Updated Computer Network Use Policies: Mr. Switzer reported that he is working with the technology coordinator on the updated policies and procedures for inclusion in the new policy handbook and review by the committee.
 
Policy Handbook Update Status: Mr. Switzer reported that the new policy handbook is available to school staff on the district computer network and that the technology support staff is working on direct-links of the index of the handbook to the policy pages in preparation of posting the handbook on the district web site. He also noted progress on transfer and re-numbering of existing policy regulations and exhibits and plans to post those items on the district network and web site as that process is completed.
 

NEXT MEETINGS:    District Office @ 4:00 p.m. on the following dates (all Thursdays):

 
December 11th, January 22nd, February 26th, March 25th, May 27th, June 10th

POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

DATE: Thursday, November 20, 2003 TIME: 4:00 p.m. PLACE: District Office

 
PRESENT:  Trustees Triou, Lyke, Diller; Mr. Switzer
 
PRIOR MEETING MINUTES: Minutes of the meeting of September 11th and November 5th, 2003 were reviewed and filed. (Meeting of October 9, 2003 was cancelled)
 
OLD BUSINESS:   
 
Policy 5430 – Use of District Credit Cards: Mr. Triou noted that first reading of proposed revisions to this policy was conducted at the Board of Education meeting of November 19th. Following discussion, trustees on the committee suggested the following modifications for consideration in second reading of the proposed revisions:
 

(a) restore provisions (from original policy) in second paragraph re: custody of the credit card, to modify wording to reference “district-level” credit card and move that paragraph to section re: district-level credit cards
(b) add provision in section re: district-level credit cards to “issue the district level credit card in the name of the designated purchasing agent of the Board of Education”
(c) restore provision (from original policy) in third paragraph re: “use of district and building level credit cards” to include the original text on “…submission of receipts and credit cards immediately upon return of the school district officer or employee…”

 
Following discussion, the committee decided to schedule an additional committee meeting on December 3rd or 4th at 4:00 p.m. in the district office to finalize these revisions for second reading at the December 10th meeting of the Board of Education. (Meeting subsequently confirmed for December 4th @ 4 p.m. at the district office). Mr. Switzer was asked to incorporate revisions as reflected in today’s discussions.
 
NEW BUSINESS:  
 
Discussion of Liability for Student Fund-Raising Activities: Mr. Triou noted the issued raised by Trustee Jackie Brunner at the November 19th meeting of the Board of Education (referred from a meeting of PTSA at the high school) on what liability, if any, the school district incurs if students are injured while engaged in fund-raising activities for school-sponsored organizations or booster groups.
 
Mr. Triou noted that no reference to or provision for this issue exists in either of the two existing policies on this topic (i.e. 3250 – Booster Clubs & Organizations & 7450 – Fund Raising by Students). He also researched the topic of liability on the NYSSBA policy reference web site and no sample policies were located.
 
Following discussion, committee members noted that a statement on level of liability, if any, should be included on both existing policies and asked Mr. Switzer to contact the district’s insurance agent for clarifications. Committee will continue discussion at next committee meeting.
 
Discussion of Videotaping of School Board Meetings: Mr. Triou noted discussion at a policy seminar he attended at the recent state school board’s association annual meeting on the experiences of one district where videotaping of school board meetings by residents using personal video equipment led to review of policies and procedures by that school board on broadcast and taping of school board meetings.
 
Mr. Triou noted that video-taping or broadcasting of school board meetings presents an image and impression of the school district to residents, students and others of the school district at large as that reflected in the quality and appearance of published materials, condition of school facilities and quality of school programs.
 
Mr. Triou suggested that the policy committee consider writing a policy relative to video-taping and broadcasting of school board meetings. Mr. Switzer was asked to pursue sample copies and information on the topic from other districts and the NYSSBA policy service.
 
 

NEXT MEETINGS:    District Office @ 4:00 p.m. on the following dates (all Thursdays):

 
December4th & 11th, January 22nd, February 26th, March 25th, May 27th, June 10th
