PRESENTATION ON NYS SCHOOL REPORT CARD · 2002-2003 SCHOOL YEAR
 
  
Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Larry Spring, assistant superintendent for instruction, to present information on the NYS School Report Card for the school year ending June 30, 2003. (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)
Mr. Spring reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that illustrated and summarized the report. He noted that each of the five schools are ranked as “schools in good standing” by the NYS Education Department.
He reviewed details of graphs of student achievement for English-Language Arts, math and science at grades four and eight and Regents exams in math, science and English at the high school, the latter based on the entering freshman student cohort. He also presented graphs that illustrated the graduation rate for the cohort and the per pupil expenditures, district-wide, from 1999 to 2002 (i.e. $250 increase in local rate versus $1,225 increase, statewide)
 
He also reviewed specific curriculum enhancements and improvements planned to address items noted in the report.
 
    
Mr. Spring noted that the status of each of the schools in good standing and their achievement levels above the state average are commendable. He stated that district goals, however, exceed the state standards and the intent is to continue to pursue high standards for student achievement while remaining fiscally responsible.
Mr. Johnson clarified thar this report reflects data for graduates in the Class of 2003. Mr. Spring confirmed that was correct and noted the report card for next year will reflect the cohort of students who were freshmen in the fall of 2000.
Mr. Robusto asked Mr. Spring to elaborate on the steps planned to address items noted in the report. Mr. Spring reviewed examples of efforts underway for varied grade levels and subject areas.
Mr. Johnson asked when the NYS Education Department expects to have data updated and how the issues about the Math A exam were related. Mr. Spring stated that the data was released in March this year and federal guidelines call for release in September in future years.
 
Mr. Johnson thanked Mr. Spring for his presentation and remarks.
DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACT
   
Mr. Havens presented the proposed energy performance contract as outlined at the March 24th meeting for review and consideration by the Board of Education.
Based on questions he has received from trustees since that presentation, he noted the following items:
          
· estimated cost for an energy study is $50,000, paid 50% by NYS Energy Research Development Agency (NYSERDA) and 50% by capital project funds
· estimated time required to conduct such a study is two (2) to three (3) months
· if the school board wishes to pursue the energy performance contract, the first step is adoption of a resolution to issue requests for proposals from potential firms to conduct an energy study
· if the energy study is accepted by the BOE, an energy performance contract would occur over an 18 month period to address specific items identified by the study (e.g. window replacement)
· if the Board of Education does not accept the study, it would only have responsibility for the non-state portion of the cost the study
        
Mr. Robusto asked if the proposed study would include only energy costs or if it would also include co-generation of power and the potential use of a windmill as viewed at the prior meeting. Mr. Havens stated that a study would review each of those items.
Mr. Robusto stated that he is excited about the proposed study and energy performance contract but is not clear on what options exist to extend the study for instructional uses by our students. Mr. Havens noted that although the energy study would not address instructional options he plans to enlist assistance from Mr. Currier, middle school science chairperson, who has extensive experience with NYSERDA and with energy conservation and education, on ways to incorporate the study into local curricula.
Mrs. Lyke asked if Mr. Bechtold, owner of Harbec Manufacturing Company and host to trustees and school officials for the recent tour of his windmill plant, would be willing to work with the school district. Mr. Havens stated Mr. Bechtold has expressed a willingness and interest to assist the school district whenever possible.
Mr. Johnson asked if the school district would have responsibility for the $25,000 portion of the energy study if the report indicates that there are no economies for the school district to pursue in an energy performance contract. Mr. Havens stated that the firm conducting the energy study would absorb that expense if their report recommends that the school district not pursue the energy performance contract.
Mr. Ratcliffe asked what other school districts have pursued energy performance contracts; Mr. Havens cited Marion, Webster and Penfield as some examples.
Mr. Griswold noted recent media reports that a school district in Syracuse has installed a windmill. Mr. Ratcliffe noted our district would be the first in Western New York State to adapt use of wind power if we did pursue it as part of an energy performance contract.
Mr. Robusto offered a MOTION, seconded by Mrs. Brunner, to adopt a RESOLUTION to pursue an energy study, TO WIT:  
  
RESOLUTION TO ISSUE REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS
FOR A STUDY OF POTENTIAL ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Education that the superintendent of schools of is hereby authorized and directed to issue requests for proposals from qualified vendors for an energy services company to conduct a study and determine the feasibility of a comprehensive energy performance contract for the reduction of energy consumption and for maintenance and operational services for school district facilities, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that said authorization is granted contingent upon verification that the school district would not incur any expense should said study indicate that it Is not feasible for the school district to pursue an energy performance contract.
  
On the question, the RESOLUTION was adopted by a vote of 8 Ayes, 0 Nays, 1 Absent (Mr. Wyse).
ADOPTION OF PROPOSED BUDGET · 2004-2005 SCHOOL YEAR
 
      
Mr. Havens presented the final draft of the proposed budget for the 2004-2005 school year for review and consideration by the Board of Education.
He stated that the final draft reflects a proposed tax rate increase of 3.9%, the lowest increase in the past four (4) years. For a taxpayer with a home assessed at $100,000, the proposed budget would equal an annual increase of $80.00 in school taxes, or appx. $6.71 more for a monthly escrow payment. He added that this proposed tax rate increase is subject to modification based on final results of property tax assessments in the component towns of the school district.
Mr. Havens noted that the proposed budget includes funds to implement full-day kindergarten, to complete phase one of the model school’s program at the high school and to add modified football and boys’ volleyball as interscholastic athletic teams in the school district.
He recommended that the Board of Education adopt the proposed budget in the amount of $33,005,020.
Mr. Atseff cited the important role of the Board of Education in development of the proposed budget as a joint endeavor with school officials. He added that the commitment of trustees to long-range financial planning is evident and valuable. Trustees extended thanks to Mr. Atseff for his efforts in overall budget development.
Mrs. Brunner offered a MOTION to adopt the proposed budget for the 2004-2005 school year in the total amount of $33,005,020 as recommended by the superintendent of schools. 8 Ayes, 0 Nays, 1 Absent (Mr. Wyse).
E. PROGRESS REPORT ON 2002 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
     
Mr. Havens asked Mr. Atseff to provide a progress report on the 2002 Capital Improvement Project.
Mr. Atseff stated that approval for the project was received yesterday (April 6, 2004) from the NYS Education Department with only minor mechanical, electrical and plumbing revisions. Based on this approval, the architect is completing contract specifications and details for advertising of bids in the next 7 to 10 days.
Mr. Atseff stated that the delay in state approvals places the overall project schedule about six (6) weeks behind but construction is still planned to begin at the start of the 2004 summer recess.
Trustees expressed their appreciation for this news and thanks to all involved for efforts to achieve the state approval.
A. STUDENT QUESTIONS

Mr. Triou asked if there was any interest among trustees in shifting the regular meeting night for the Board of Education from Wednesdays to Thursdays when developing the Board of Education meeting schedule for the 2004-2005 school year.
Mr. Havens stated that such a shift would allow additional time for agenda preparation. He added that efforts are made to avoid scheduling conflicting events on school board meeting dates.
Mr. Ratcliffe and Mr. Johnson stated that they would favor a change to Thursday evenings.
Mr. Johnson asked trustees to consider this issue and provide feedback at the next business meeting to allow time for preparation of the meeting schedule and district event scheduling for 2004-2005.

Mr. Havens noted that school and town officials have established cooperative or shared services in varied areas (e.g. salting and sanding of school driveways and parking lots with Walworth & Ontario, joint watershed management project on the Ontario Center campus with the Town of Ontario, waiving building uses fees for schools by town recreation and parks programs by both towns) and asked if there were additional topics or interests for discussion this evening.
 
Mr. Guelli noted that the Town of Macedon has a cooperative effort for fueling school and town vehicles and shares a common structure for repair and maintenance of school busses and town vehicles with the Gananda Central School District. He noted that the highway garage for the Town of Walworth and Freewill Elementary School are located on neighboring parcels on Canandaigua Road and that the Town of Walworth would consider any additional cooperative efforts.
Discussion followed on a potential agreement between the Town of Walworth and the school district for plowing of school parking lots and driveways at Freewill Elementary School in addition to salting and sanding to reduce the time and expense presently expended by school district staff and vehicles.
  
Mr. Havens asked if there was any interest for joint fueling facilities for school and town uses or joint purchasing of consumable items such as office supplies or copier paper. Mr. Switzer noted that a joint fueling depot with the Town of Ontario for highway, fire and emergency vehicles did function at the school transportation center for a few years about 15 years ago but were discontinued.
Mr. Brewer stated that potential joint purchasing of consumable items has potential.
  
C. DISCUSSION OF ENERGY CONSERVATION & WINDMILL POWER SOURCE ISSUES
 
Mr. Brewer asked about background on the windmill generated energy issue noted in recent news media reports of school board discussions.
Mr. Havens noted that the Board of Education has authorized a study of potential energy savings that may include a windmill as part of generation of electricity for school facilities on the Ontario Center campus.
School trustees and officials recently toured the windmill and co-generation facility at the Harbec Manufacturing Company in Ontario. Completion of the study and review of potential energy savings are expected by August of 2004.
 
Mr. Brewer asked what payback time period is anticipated for an energy performance contract. Mr. Havens provided details. He noted that a windmill facility on the school campus might allow incorporation of facilities on the Ontario Town Hall site.
 

ITEMS SUBMITTED BY THE WALWORTH TOWN BOARD

 

STATUS OF CONVERSION OF FIRST ACADEMY APARTMENTS FOR TOWN USES

 

Mr. Guelli noted that the Walworth Town Board has met with an architectural firm and discussed potential uses of the former apartment building that was built as Walworth High School in 1930 and served as Walworth Elementary School from 1949 to 1979. They plan another meeting with the architect in three (3) to four (4) weeks.
 
Mr. Guelli asked if interest still exists to provide space in the structure for local school districts to offer educational programs and how many students it might serve.
 
Mr. Havens noted that there is interest among Wayne Central, Gananda, Marion and Palmyra-Macedon school districts to jointly offer an alternative school setting in the proposed community center. They anticipate the use of two (2) classrooms, depending on enrollment for the program, and project appx. thirty (30) students would participate at various times during a school year.
 

 
Mr. Havens noted that a classroom-related setting is preferred by component districts to provide tutors or an alternative setting for students who are not enrolled in the regular day school setting as required by state law. The districts are still reviewing options and costs for such a program and asked if there is a projected occupancy and use date for space in a future community center at the academy site.
Mr. Guelli stated that the Walworth Town Board would prefer to present the question of use of the former academy/school site as a public referendum among town voters on the ballot for General Election Day in November, 2004. Town officials are now sharing information with residents and community groups on the topic.

 

USE OF SCHOOLS DURING CAPITAL PROJECT · FREEWILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

 

Mr. Maciuska stated that there is some confusion on the availability of the space for the recreation and parks department of the Town of Walworth at Freewill Elementary School during the fall 2004 season due to the capital project work. He noted that program decisions and announcements are necessary by the end of July, 2004 for the fall season.
 
Mr. Havens stated he would review the issue and provide clarification for town officials.

 

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

 

Mr. Maciuska noted that new housing development continues at varied sites within the Town of Walworth.

Consensus Agenda #8

 

 
FOR:    Board of Education Members, Michael Havens
FROM:  Jim Switzer,  District Clerk/Records Management Officer
TOPIC:  Resolution in Support of Renewal of Records Management Grants
DATE:  May 11, 2004
       

When the NYS Legislature enacted the Local Government Records Management Information Fund in 1989, they include a “sunset clause” which requires renewal of the program and funding every five (5) years. The next renewal is due on December 31, 2005 and local government agencies are invited to encourage support by state legislators for such renewal by adoption of a resolution, a sample of which is provided here for your review and consideration.
 
Our district has received $56,832 in grants from this fund over the past ten (10) years and another grant application for 2004-2005 is now pending for over $20,000 I have also taken advantage of the many excellent training sessions and resources provided by NYS Archives and Records Administration (SARA), which manage these funds. Continuation of the grant program and training materials are essential for effective management of public records.
 
Local governments will still generate their tons of records each day and their dwindling tax dollars will not adequately fund records management, if at all. Local governments will lose records or destroy them illegally, thereby becoming indefensible in audit or litigation and lacking the records that demonstrate due process and the genesis or abolition of programs and the expenditure of public funds. In short, local governments will lack the wherewithal and the specialized knowledge to carry on alone. The past tells us this, and the increasing use of computers and other technologies serves only to worsen such a situation in the long run.

 
The proposed RESOLUTION appears on the next page.
 
Thank you for your consideration of this action.

RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT
FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THE SUNSET PROVISIONS OF THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT RECORDS MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT FUND (LGRMIF) AND THE CULTURAL EDUCATION FUND (CEF)
(Assembly Bill A-10843 & Senate Bill S-06666)

 
WHEREAS, the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) was created in 1989 to provide technical assistance and grants to establish, improve or enhance records management programs in more than 4300 local governments in New York State, and

 
WHEREAS, the closely related Documentary Heritage Program (DHP) for grants and technical assistance to non-governmental historical records repositories also is supported by the LGRMIF, and
 
WHEREAS, a sunset date for the LGRMIF was established in the original legislation to permit its operation as a five-year experiment, and
 
WHEREAS, the NYS Legislature has extended the sunset date on two occasions, most recently to December 31, 2005, and
 
WHEREAS, the LGRMIF has effectively supported essential advisory services and 6,300 grants totaling over $113 million to improve the management of records for over half of all NYS local governments, and
 
WHEREAS, the LGRMIF and the programs it supports continue to operate at a high standard of excellence and provide direct and significant benefit to local governments at no cost to the taxpayers, and
 
WHEREAS, Wayne Central School District has benefited from technical assistance, training, publications and three (3) grants totaling $56,832, supported by the LGRMIF, and
 
WHEREAS, the NYS Legislature created the closely-related Cultural Education Fund (CEF) to support the State Archives, State Library and State Museum on behalf of all New Yorkers, and the Office for Public Broadcasting, and provided the CEF with an identical sunset date, and
 
WHEREAS, the LGRMIF and the CEF continue to be critically important in the fulfillment of the many records and information related responsibilities of the Wayne Central School District and to the cultural and scientific needs of the people of New York State, NOW, THEREFORE,
 
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Education of Wayne Central School District supports the elimination of said sunset provisions in order to make the LGRMIF and the CEF permanent as proposed in Assembly Bill A-10843 and Senate Bill S-06666 and authorizes and directs the school district clerk to forward certified copies of this resolution to appropriate state legislators and officials.
