| XIX. | REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS | ||||||||||||||||||
Mr. Havens extended congratulations to Mr. Triou and Mr. Robusto as newly elected school board president and vice-president, respectively, and stated that he looks forward to working with them this year. He stated that he has enjoyed working with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Ratcliffe as school board president and vice-president, respectively, for the past two (2) school years and reviewed the numerous achievements during that time period. He believes that he has become a better superintendent of schools based on the efforts of the school board.
| A. | REPORT ON 8th to 9th GRADE TRANSITION PROGRAM · SUMMER 2004 • MODEL SCHOOLS | |
Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Spring, assistant superintendent for instruction, to provide a report on the eighth to ninth grade summer transition program underway as a part of the district’s model school’s efforts.
Mr. Spring shared a handout that summarized the effort to provide support for appx. two (2) dozen students moving from the middle school to the high school in academic, study and social skills to enable them to achieve success in their high school career. Students were selected for the program who failed two or more core subjects in grade eight to re-engage them in learning and help them prepare for their high school courses. Any students who are unsuccessful in the summer program would continue with additional studies and activities in after-school sessions on one (1) or two (2) days during the school year.
Mr. Spring noted that over the past several years, the philosophy has shifted between social promotion and retention practices and neither approach has proven more successful than the other. The approach in this transition program provides support for student achievement with the option of retention still available if needed only after providing the additional support from the transition program.
He also noted that expansion of the program to after-school sessions during the school year would include extension of the school day to 4:00 p.m. one (1) or two (2) days per week. Students who would benefit additional reinforcement and support would remain at school for the longer duration.
Mr. Spring explained that this initial transition program now underway has four (4) teachers working with the two-dozen students for three (3) hours per day, four (4) days per week. Mr. Pirozzolo, an assistant principal at the high school, is serving as program administrator. The students are engaged in active learning activities such as a crime scene investigation that incorporate skills in science, reading, writing, listening, and drawing conclusions. So far, the students are very enthusiastic about the program and are gaining confidence to begin their freshman year.
| Mr. Johnson asked if discussions have occurred with the teachers’ union on the proposed extension of the school day. Mr. Spring noted that discussions to date have occurred among members of the model school’s team at the high school and the administrative council. Mr. Havens stated that the workday for teachers would not change; teachers who participated in the after-school program would receive a stipend for the additional responsibilities. |
Mrs. Brunner asked what the nature of parental support is for the summer transition program. Mr. Spring stated that parental support is high. And each student, parent and teacher involved in the summer transition program has signed a contract related to learning activities.
Mr. Wyse asked if two (2) days of additional time after school is adequate follow-up to the intense summer program to achieve the desired improvements. Mr. Spring stated that while the two (2) days are not an ideal approach, they represent a compromise to allow time for teachers to also participate in departmental and faculty meetings and other routine activities. As the program progresses during the school year, adjustments may occur in the amount of time for the program.
Mr. Wyse noted that his questions originate from a comment relayed to him by a resident about a concern that adequate counseling was not provided at the high school that resulted in retention for a child. Upon further discussion, it was determined that the child has failed to pass each grade since grade six and the high school counselor was the first and only person who determined that the child need to repeat the grade.
He asked how school officials would approach such an issue in the future at an earlier point in a child’s school career. Mr. Spring noted that present accountability for student achievement does not occur until they begin to earn Carnegie units, more commonly referred to as course credits, at the high school level. The future challenge and option is to extend the concept of course credits to the middle school, and perhaps lower grade levels, to provide accountability of student achievement and success earlier in their school career. He added that it is essential to determine how to insure success for each child throughout their school career.
Mr. Wyse noted that while students begin to change classes for core subjects in grades six and seven, he does not understand why the issues of student achievement are not determined at that age as well. Mr. Spring commented on options available for students and staff. Mr. Havens commented that the new summer transition program represents a valuable beginning of efforts to address student needs and the option exists to expand the concept to lower grade levels to address student achievement.
Mr. Wyse extended compliments to the staff for this initial effort and added his support for continuation and expansion of the program to serve students at a younger age. Mr. Spring noted that the district’s philosophy is to take whatever steps necessary to allow a child to succeed.
Mr. Robusto stated he feels the program is very positive and asked what consideration is underway to pursue the program for additional grade level transitions. He added that the concept represents a common feature of the model school’s program.
Mr. Spring stated that there are some model programs for conducting the transition program earlier in a child’s career that are under consideration for future years.
Mr. Griswold noted discussion at the workshop session on July 13th on district goals and objectives relative to test scores for fourth graders for the 2004-2005 school year and asked if student performance on those exams would improve if the exam were offered one (1) year later in fifth grade and, by extension, if expanding the after-school transition program to earlier at the middle school level would enhance student success and achievement. Mr. Spring stated he expects it would.
Mr. Griswold also asked if school personnel have given any thought to the potential benefits for all students for shifting to a twelve-month school year. Mr. Spring stated that although no formal discussions have yet occurred there is value and benefit for that concept to students.
Mr. Havens noted that many ideas were obtained at the model school’s workshops in late June. Mr. Spring cited the summer elementary reading camp as another example of targeting student needs.
Mr. Griswold expects that in three (3) to five (5) years the standard or norm which schools and students are expected to meet will change to longer school days and more summer activities or classes as opposed to annual adjustments to provide extra help or address specific issues.
Mr. Spring and Mr. Havens noted the prospect of future programs when some teachers are employed for 11 months to offer expanded programs that might replace expenses for some other programs students may no longer need.
Mr. Johnson noted examples at the model school’s workshop of several schools that have expanded the number of days of instruction with tremendous improvements in success rates.
Mr. Robusto asked what transportation costs might accrue with extended school year programs. Mr. Havens noted that state aid would cover 70% of those costs.
Mrs. Lyke noted that reductions in other expenses for special student needs would likely occur as student achievement levels improve.
Mr. Havens commented that the mind set changes when schools shift from directing programs to only those students with special needs to the entire student body and when more programs shift from remedial to enrichment in nature.
Mr. Robusto asked if an 11-month school year would become mandatory for all staff and students. Mr. Havens stated that recruitment for teachers for 11 month positions would occur based on a job description for that position; he cited his own experience that many teachers would prefer to teach during summer months rather than pursue part-time, non-teaching employment.
Mrs. Lyke asked if any students who were eligible for the eighth to ninth grade transition program now underway refused to participate. Mr. Pirozzolo noted that the two dozen students enrolled were drawn from a potential of 33 students; some students had other summer plans or jobs that prevented them from participating but none declined to participate. He added that parents of the children who are participating in the program are holding them accountable for participation.
Mrs. Lyke asked if the same two-dozen students would participate in the after-school program during the school year. Mr. Pirozzolo noted that those students who are successful in the summer program are not required to continue in the after-school program but could if they wished. He added that the teachers have quickly taken ownership of the summer transition program and have already suggested assignment of their summer students to their advisory periods during the school year to allow the summer efforts to continue as well.
Trustees thanked Mr. Spring and Mr. Pirozzolo for their presentation and information. Mr. Havens stated that he would provide an update on the after-school program during the school year and suggested scheduling further discussion and consideration of an extended school year for another meeting during the year.
| B. | REPORT ON NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MODEL SCHOOLS · June, 2004 | |
Mr. Havens noted that Mrs. Lyke, Mr. Robusto and Mr. Johnson joined with school staff members to attend the national workshop on model schools in Washington, D.C. at the end of June and invited them to share highlights of their participation.
Mr. Havens noted sessions he attended on high achieving school districts, student internships, student involvement in planning educational programs and academic offerings in special areas.
Mrs. Lyke noted sessions she attended on teachers who will not allow students to fail but catch them earlier in the year, with more consideration on student abilities than retention policies, varied approaches to awarding credits and meeting skill levels of students and new approaches to working with low-interest students.
Mr. Robusto noted sessions he attended on expectations of newly hired staff in school districts where failure by students is not acceptable and extending learning to after-school, weekends and summer recess periods.
Mr. Johnson noted similar information from the Brockport district west of Rochester that has had the model school’s program in place since 1981, the successful efforts of a principal from South Carolina to increase student achievement, attendance rates and graduation rates with a scholarship for each child who graduates.
Mr. Havens noted that the model school’s team will meet in August to work on preparations for the next phases of the model school’s program in the 2004-2005 school year. He added that the feedback from members of the local delegation to the model school’s workshops is highly positive and supportive of continuing with the program at the local level. In the future, our district may host the model school’s national workshop.
| C. | PROGRESS REPORT · 2002 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT | |
RE-LOCATION OF ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTS
Mr. Havens noted discussions at prior school board meetings on the re-location of the existing athletic field lights to either the tennis courts or the softball filed at the high school. He stated that both the district’s architect and the electrical contractor for the capital project feel the existing lights are not suited for the tennis courts but are suited for lighting of either the softball or baseball field.
He noted that currently boy’s teams can play under the lights for either soccer or football but girl’s teams can only play under the lights for soccer. His recommendation is to re-locate the existing lights to the softball field to provide a second opportunity for girl’s teams to play on a lighted field. He added that he has reviewed this issue with Mr. Blankenberg, director of athletics and physical education, who concurs, and discussed it with the leaders of the softball/baseball booster club who also agree with the placement on the softball field. They have also indicated an interest to work with the school district in the future to raise funds to install lights on the baseball field.
Mr. Wyse noted that he is an avid baseball supporter yet would support the recommended re-location of the existing lights to the softball field. He added that the booster club is aware of some existing lights at another location which may become available in a future year to use on the baseball field.
By consensus, trustees endorsed the recommendation presented by Mr. Havens and authorized him to proceed with the planned re-location of field lighting as outlined above.
| STATUS REPORT ON 2002 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT |
Mr. Atseff, assistant superintendent for business, introduced Mr. Michael Jordan, project manager with Le Chase Construction Company, the firm hired by the Board of Education to provide construction management services. He noted that Mr. Jordan will attend a school board meeting each month to provide progress reports on the capital project.
Mr. Jordan used a PowerPoint presentation to outline highlights of project activities at each of the school buildings, including digital photographs, as of July 15, 2004.
| At each of the schools, furniture removal and re-location of services where renovations are planned this summer have occurred. Asbestos abatement efforts at varied locations in the district were started on the first day of summer recess and are essentially completed. The NYS Department of Labor has made its site visits and has ordered a second cleaning and additional air samplings of the spaces abated at the high school, which is now underway. | ||
| At the middle school, exterior curbing and sidewalks were removed and work is progressing on installation of partitions, drywall and other interior finishes for the safety and security upgrades for the main entry and relocation of the main office, nurse’s office and counseling offices. Some items, such as cabinetry, have a longer lead time and installation will occur during non-school hours as items are available. |
| Mr. Griswold asked how far behind project efforts are and how far into the school year work would continue. Mr. Jordan noted that the overall project is on schedule with varied items, such as bookcases and cabinetry, installed as materials arrive during the school year. | ||
| Mr. Jordan reviewed progress on installation of the lift at Ontario Elementary School to provide access by persons with disabilities to the stage, gymnasium and auditorium, including re-location of electrical and mechanical items. Replacement of stair treads, floor surfaces and exterior entry stairs are also scheduled during summer recess at that school. | ||
| At Ontario Primary School, removal of roof stone and replacement of roof drains has occurred. Installation of new insulation and roof surfaces will follow. | ||
| Mr. Robusto asked if the insulation is as overlay to the existing roof and what R-value it has. Mr. Jordan stated that the existing roof was removed and reviewed the R-values. He noted that interior renovations at Ontario Primary School are scheduled for the 2005-2006 phase of the capital project. | ||
| Safety and security upgrades for the main entry are underway at Freewill Elementary School as well as re-location of spaces and interior finish work in the main office. | ||
| Mr. Jordan reviewed site work underway on the Ontario Center campus, including parking lots, movement of soil for field preparation, ground and drainage work for the new all-weather track, underground electrical work, and excavation for construction of the new classroom areas that will link “D” and “A” wings at the high school. Roof repairs are scheduled on “B” wing and new wall and floor surfaces and cabinetry is scheduled for the classrooms where asbestos abatement was conduced. | |||
| The base for the new parallel road from the middle school to the high school along Route 350 is in place and a binder is scheduled in the near future; the staging area for construction trailers and equipment is located adjacent to the new road, which is enclosed by a security fence, and will become additional parking areas at the conclusion of the project. | |||
| Mrs. Brunner asked about the status of the joint project with the Town of Ontario on the watershed management & drainage improvements along the north border of the Ontario Center campus and if each of the neighboring property owners is aware of the planned improvements. Mr. Jordan stated that the Town of Ontario has awarded the contract for the watershed & drainage improvements and is handling communications with property owners. Mr. Davis and Mr. Atseff stated that the work is expected to begin at the end of July. | ||
| Mr. Ratcliffe asked for clarification on the role of district staff and project contractors on interior work scheduled at Ontario Primary School next year. Mr. Jordan provided details. | ||
| Mrs. Brunner asked about the leakage and repairs on the water service lines located under the classroom wing added to the northeast corner of Ontario Primary School in the 1980’s. Mr. Davis reviewed the scope and status of the project, including planned modifications. | ||
| Mrs. Lyke asked about plans to control odors related to roof installation at Ontario Primary School during the school year. Mr. Jordan reviewed plans to address that issue. | ||
| Mr. Havens asked trustees if the format of this evening’s progress report was acceptable and if they wished any additional items or information, | ||
| Mr. Griswold suggested including the top five (5) concerns of project managers. | ||
| Mr. Wyse suggested including note of anticipated change orders as they arise. | ||
| BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES | |||
| Mr. Atseff noted that final steps are underway to issue bond anticipation notes, totaling $9.960,000, to meet expenses for the capital improvement project. The plan is to convert to serial bonds at the end of the 2004-2005 school year, | ||
| D. | UPDATE ON STATE AID, POWER PLANT VALUATION & 2004-2005 SCHOOL TAX LEVY | |
| Mr. Havens stated that the NYS Legislature has not yet adopted the fiscal year 2004 state budget, including aid for education, and that the negotiations on the taxable assessed value of the nuclear power station are not yet complete. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Confirmation of state aid revenue is essential prior to final determination of school tax rates. If negotiations on the final taxable value for the nuclear power plant are not completed by the deadline to establish school tax rates, the latest values set by the Ontario Town Assessor will apply to the school tax levy. The Board of Education would need to set aside funds collected from the tax levy for future refunds that may occur if the final valuation is different from the assessor’s value. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Havens noted that the increase from $158 million to $378 million in taxable assessed value for the nuclear power station based on the recent sale of the plant has resulted in an increase in the equalization rate from 100% to 118%. He noted that new state legislation does allow taxing agencies (viz, the school district), to remove large tax parcels from the calculation of the equalization rate. Such action would not impact the total amount of the tax levy but would keep the equalization rate for school purposes at 100% and prevent an imbalance of the tax levy among the six component townships of the school district. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Havens stated that he is hopeful that the negotiations on the taxable assessed value of the nuclear power plant will reach a conclusion prior to adoption of the 2004-2005 property tax levy. He added that he is committed to a 1.9% increase in the school tax rate as presented to district voters at the annual school election in May. | |||||||||||||||||||

Re: Energy Audit
On April 30, 2004 Requests for Proposals were sent to Carrier Corporation, Johnson Controls, Siemens Building Technologies, and Atlantic Energy. Of these four companies, Atlantic Energy and Carrier Corporation submitted proposals.
Mr. Havens, Mr. Atseff, and Mr. Davis reviewed the proposals and held additional meetings with the providers. After discussions with the providers and further review of the proposals, the recommendation from this group is to name Atlantic Energy as the ESCO (Energy Saving Company).
I recommend we request authorization from the Board of Education to move forward with the detailed energy audit, provided by Atlantic Energy.
To: Michael Havens, Superintendent of Schools
From: Gregory Atseff, Assistant Superintendent of Business
Date: August 11, 2004
Re: Alternate Tax Apportionment Method
Real Property Tax Law 1316, allows the use of an alternate tax apportionment method for apportioning taxes in school districts that contain a designated large property. The GINNA property meets the criteria for a designated large property.
Under the traditional tax apportionment method (Real Property Tax Law 1314), when an assessing unit contains a very sizable commercial, industrial or other property which in the opinion of ORPS is significantly over-assessed or under-assessed, it may lead to disparities in the apportionment of school district taxes. The basic objective of RPTL 1316 is to give school districts the ability to eliminate these disparities among non-large properties, so that comparable properties within the school district will pay similar amounts in school taxes. The use of RPTL 1316 will not impact the amount of taxes paid by the owner of the large property. The owner of the large property will pay the same tax under this option as when taxes are apportioned in the traditional manner.
I recommend that the district use this alternate tax apportionment method for the levy of school taxes for the 2004/2005 school year. Please present the following resolution to the Board of Education at their meeting on August 19, 2004:
Resolution
Resolved; that upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, the Board of Education hereby approves using Real Property Tax Law Section 1316, for the apportionment of school district taxes for the 2004/2005 school year.
To: Michael Havens, Superintendent of Schools
From: Gregory Atseff, Assistant Superintendent of Business
Date: July 16, 2004
Re: GINNA Assessment
With the unsettled nature of GINNA’s assessment, it is critical for the district to protect it’s financial future. Through long range planning, we have been able to bring the district back to a strong financial position. As we look to set our tax rate for the 2004/2005school year, we must continue down this proactive path. When we established our estimated tax rate during the budget process for 04/05, we conservatively did not include any increase for GINNA. When you look at the formula for setting the tax rate, the district must act now to be able to set aside funds to protect ourselves for the GINNA uncertainty. If we do not increase our levy from the $19,379,085 estimated at budget time, the assessment increase for GINNA will be negated by a lower tax rate. The way to use the assessment increase to protect the district’s financial future, is to increase our tax levy, and set aside the additional money this will generate in a reserve account, until the GINNA situation is resolved. GINNA will be taxed at the higher assessment level for 2004/2005, but could be entitled to a refund at some time in the future when this issue gets resolved. The process I have described above, will ensure the district has the funds set aside, if we are required through a court decision to refund GINNA, because they were over assessed.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Re: School Lunch Prices
Currently the cost for a school breakfast and lunch for our students are:
Breakfast - $.75 (full price), $.25 (Reduced)
Lunch - $1.60 (full price), $.25 (Reduced)
It is my recommendation that these prices remain the same for the 2004/2005 school year.
The school lunch program had an operating gain of approximately $80,000 for the 2003/2004 school year (please note this amount is unaudited). Nique Wilson, our school lunch director, has done an outstanding job in returning the program to a position of generating a profit.
At this time, we are estimating the fund balance at year-end in the school lunch fund will be approximately $141,000. We have a quality school lunch program. I feel that we can maintain that same level of quality at the current price levels, while keeping the school lunch fund in good financial shape.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or need additional information.

NOTE: (taken out 2004)
1. It is necessary to note that changes in equalization rates or assessments may occur before tax bills are printed. If this does occur, then tax rates will be adjusted to reflect these changes. The amount of the tax levy will not be affected. If tax rates are changed, the Board of Education will be advised of the new tax rates.
2. After the Board of Education has adopted a tax levy for 2003-2004, it will be necessary for them to sign the Tax Warrant that authorizes the Tax Collector to collect taxes in total sum of the tax levy and publish notice in accordance with Real Property Tax Law Section 1322, 1338.
