| 1. | Board President and Vice-President – As you know, both Rick and Tim plan not to seek these posts for the 2004-05 school year. We will be electing our new president and vice president at the start of the meeting. |
| 2. | District Officers and Officials - You will notice there are numerous appointments that we do annually. No changes have been made to personnel other than removing Peg Wachob due to her retirement. Rate changes for building use have increased slightly to cover the increase in wages (custodial and food service fees). I concur with the recommendations. |
| 2. | Board Meeting Schedule - The 2004-05 Board Meeting Schedule is presented for approval. We made some changes this year in board meeting dates. Meetings generally occur on Thursday evenings, except where otherwise noted. On some occasions, due to holidays and scheduling conflicts, we needed to schedule only one meeting per month. |
| 1. | Transition Program Report – Larry Spring will be providing information on the new transition program for September 2004 9th graders. This program was established to provide support to targeted students to aid them with their high school course load. This is a component of our Model Schools Program. |
| 2. | Model Schools Conference Report –At the end of June a high school/administrative/board team attended the Model Schools Conference in Washington DC. Board members and myself will share some highlights from that conference and our discussions on how to bring this vision to Wayne. |
| 3. | Capital Project Report – As you know the project is underway. Currently there is a great deal of site work going on with the HS-MS road work beginning, athletic field work excavation and MS sidewalks. The MS office work has begun. The demolition is complete. At the High School the asbestos abatement work is complete, awaiting final test clearance. The middle school is experiencing some intermittent telephone service disruptions with the site work. At OP the roof replacement has begun. At OE the abatement project is being set up. The Freewill asbestos abatement project is nearly complete. The retention pond is underway; fill is being brought in (from the back of Wayne property) to bring the new field up to grade. Greg and our project manager, Mike Jordan will bring you up to date on our progress |
| 4. | Budget Update – We still have no New York State budget and we still have not settled on an assessment for Ginna. Both of these weigh heavily in the tax levy we will establish in August. We promised our tax payers a 1.9% tax rate increase which means the tax per thousand would increase from $20.65 to $20.97 (.32). I believe we need to stay committed to this number, but in order to make this come out correctly for our tax players we need to review and adjust our revenue projections. Ginna is currently assessed at $378,000,000 but we know we will settle at a less amount. If we plan on the $378,000,000 assessment, after the settlement we would have to pay back money to Ginna. We wouldn’t have the extra money if we’ve put everything to the tax rate ahead of time, thus putting us in a fiscal crisis. What we are going to continue to recommend is that we separate out any potential increase in Ginna until the assessment is settled. Greg and I will walk you through the process step by step. We want to make sure you understand this very complex situation and still want us to do this so we are ready for our August meeting. |
| 5. | Personnel Action – You can see there are a number of appointments and resignations as is the norm at this time of year. We may have some additional appointments, which we will hand carry to the Board meeting. |
| 6. | Consensus Agenda – There are numerous actions including gifts to the district, health contracts, treasurer’s report, budget transfer, and bid awards. I recommend approving the consensus agenda items as submitted. |
| 1. | Board/Administrative Workshop - Just a reminder that the Board/Administration Workshop will be on Tuesday, July 13 at the Lodge at Casey Park (Knickerbocker Road just North of 104) from 3:30 – 8:00 p.m. We will be setting our annual goals for the year. |
