Dan Starr reported that the district was awarded a Teachers of

Tomorrow Grant again this year. The grant provides funds to

teachers in their first four years in the profession who have

mathematics, foreign language, library media and consumer

science certifications.

High School Principal, Bill Rotenberg, spoke to the concerns of

the Board for graphing calculators, which are required for certain

math courses. There are approximately 100 calculators available

for students to use during classroom instruction time. Mr.

Rotenberg will insure that there are 10 additional calculators

available through the Media Center. Students can sign them out

for use, just as they would a library book. He will monitor to

ensure that enough are available to serve the needs of students.

Bill Rotenberg also addressed a concern voiced from the Board

about the cost of Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA)

courses available to students. These classes are true college

courses where college credit is awarded. Students can request

tuition assistance and/or tuition waivers through Syracuse

University.

changes will be made and the discussion will continue at the next

meeting.

STUDENT

about the acceptance of a foreign exchange student. Board policy

does not recognize the foreign exchange service that placed the

the student and it is the desire of the Board to make her stay

successful and memorable.
