“How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?”               - - Paul Sweeney
 
 
Greetings from Wayne Central School District. Below are some items of interest.
 
 
Board Meeting :
 
1.   Building Tour – We will tour Ontario Elementary school from 7:00 – 7:30. Mr. Siracuse will be able to show us the changes that have been made through the construction project. As you enter the building I encourage you to take a moment to look at the new steps and railings. While they are not yet painted I believe they are quite interesting.
 
2.   Sales Tax Update - I have attended several meetings recently to continue to fight to keep the county sales tax. I have learned this afternoon that some county supervisors will bring it for a vote at their December 21st meeting which takes place at 9:00 AM in Lyons. That vote will be this year’s critical moment for protecting the $835,000 that our district gets from the sales tax. We will need as many parents, business owners and Board members at the meeting as possible. While we have our supervisor’s support, we need to show the other supervisors that Wayne County does not support taking back the sales tax. I ask that you talk to as many people as possible to get them there on the 21st. I also ask that you make a call to your supervisor to thank him for his support (Frank Guille, Joe Molino). They are under tremendous pressure to solve the county problem through the sales tax. We will be discussing more strategy at our meeting.
 
3.   Academic Report- Continuing our quest for academic excellence, Mr. Spring will review our students’ performance for the first quarter marking period. Enclosed is his report which I ask you to review.
 
4.   Transition Program – The transition program was a model schools component we added this year. It is designed to provide greater academic success for those students transitioning from 8th to 9th grade. You will recall from earlier presentations that our 9th graders globally have the greatest struggle with academic success.
 
5.   9-12 School Improvement Goals – Last month you heard about the plan for improving our going to college rate. This month we will talk about this year’s 9-12 school improvement goals. You may want to review your school improvement booklet pages 6-7 prior to the meeting.
 
6.   Ginna Resolution - We had hoped to adopt the Ginna PILOT resolution at this meeting however the Town, County and school need to have a joint public hearing on it. The Town is coordinating this and it may need to occur the week after our Board meeting. As soon as I hear when it is to occur I will let you know. This has been an involved process to get us to this agreement. I am pleased with the level of collaboration between town, school, and county representatives in coming to consensus. I believe this agreement is one all parties can support and that Mr. Al White did a first-rate job representing our interests
 
7.   Personnel & CSE Action Items – A brief personnel action is included for approval. CSE and CPSE approvals are also brief and submitted for approval. This is a good thing, which means we are remaining steady with our staff and students.
 
8.   Consensus Agenda – The October Treasurer’s Report, a budget transfer, capital project change order request, gift to the district, appointment of fire inspector, and a health contract are all included for your review and action. I recommend approval of these items.
 
9.   Policy – There will be a first reading of a new policy on student security hand carried to the meeting. I will be reviewing it with Administrative Council on December 7. If there are any concerns or modifications that arise from that meeting, I will let the policy committee members know prior to the board meeting.

Newsletter:
 
1.   Waasdorp Letter - Attached is the letter to Mrs. Waasdorp in response to her question about seat time in high school courses. We may continue to hear from her.
 
2.   Bray Decision – Attached is my letter to Mr. & Mrs. Bray stating the findings of Mrs. Woodard, and my decision, regarding the discrimination allegations. They have said they are not happy with the decision and may appeal it to the Board. If they do so, Both the Brays and the District would commit the positions to writing. You would then have to decide if you wanted to overturn the district’s decision. As you saw from the investigative report, I do not believe there was any discrimination against Bradley in not having him be part of the poster.
 
1.   Storefront Question - Mr. Triou received a question from a resident about our rental of the storefront on Main Street. The other rental unit has a rental sign and Mr. Robusto’s name on it. The resident asked if it was a conflict of interest since Mr. Robusto serves on the Board. The resident thought the property was owned by Mr. Robusto and thus the conflict of interest. Mr. Robusto provided the lease agreement for the property we rented but he has not received any compensation. We do have a policy that deals with this situation; section 2160-R. Item 4 of that section states,
 
“An officer [Board member] or employee shall not receive or enter into any agreement, express or implied, for compensation for services to be rendered in relation to any matter before the school district, whereby the compensation is to be dependent or contingent upon any action by the school district with respect to such matter, provided that this paragraph shall not prohibit the fixing at any time of fees based upon the reasonable value of the services rendered.”
 
 Since no compensation was received. There really is no issue, but we thought you should be aware of this in case you receive a question. A few years ago one of our top umpires had to stop accepting assignments at Wayne when he became a Board member (Mark, I’m sure you recall this).
 
2.   Auditing Workshop – In November, Mr. Atseff, Mr. Russ Harris and I attended a workshop on auditing procedures and policies. I believe we are in pretty good shape but there are some new policies that we are asking the Policy Committee to consider. We may also recommend some further isolation of business operations as part of the next budget. You will recall that Mr. Wager made some suggestions about the Internal Auditor at his meeting with us.
 
3.   Athletics – Eric Molino, Varsity Cross Country Team member made it to the state competitions at Binghamton on November 12. He finished 30th. He has been a top performer throughout his career at Wayne and will be missed next year.
 
4.   Eagle Ventures Storefront – We have begun moving in to the building, but are not quite ready to open the doors. We have learned that we need full SED approval to use the building and have begun submitting the necessary documentation to make that happen. As part of that review we also reviewed the present manor house site. The local code inspector toured the building. He will be issuing a written report shortly but he expressed a number of concerns about using the structure for students. This has the potential to deal a serious blow to the program. We are meeting next week to look at possible solutions.
 
5.   Don Davis Retirement - This week we received a letter of intent to retire from Don Davis, our Director of Facilities for 25 years. His resignation will go into effect on April 29, 2005. We wish him many years of retirement enjoyment. His dedication and hard work will be missed.
 
6.   Ski Team Overnight Trip - I have reviewed a proposal for the Ski Team to go overnight to the sectionals competition in February. The costs of the overnight accommodations will be paid by the Booster Club. They will be staying at the Condominiums at Bristol Mountain.
 
7.   Docushare - Dave Colburn, our tech person who interfaces with BOCES over docushare has informed us that BOCES now has us back up and running properly. Lori will post the back documents and you should be able to have full access again. If you encounter problems please let Lori know so she can pass them on and get them taken care of.
 
8.   First Marking Period – Each quarter I send out letters to high school students and their parents who earn a merit roll, honor roll, or high honor roll status. For the first quarter, 39% of Freshmen students have an overall average of 85 or better; 41% of Sophomores; 39% of Juniors; and 49% of our Seniors.
 
9.   Bus Accident- We had an unusual bus accident this morning. One of our teachers apparently hit our bus in the high school parking lot. He then went into school instead of waiting and filing a report. The police were called which always occurs when there is an accident and were understandably angry about him leaving the scene of an accident. I am still working through all of the particulars and will give you an update if I get additional information.

Dear Mrs. Waasdorp,
 
I met with high school administrators Lory Morrin, Jeff Pirozzolo and Holly Armitage to review the seat time requirements for high school courses. I have concluded that our high school has no procedures or requirements that are different than the Commissioner’s Part 100 Regulation. Students are required to have a minimum of 180 minutes of instruction per week, per year, or its equivalent. Through block scheduling, we use an equivalent of slightly more one week and less the next. It does however average to meet the 180 minute requirement.
 
If you believe you were given different information or if you have additional questions regarding this issue, please feel free to contact me at 524-1001. Alternatively I can be reached through my email mhavens@wayne.k12.ny.us .
 
Thank you for your time and interest.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
 
Michael Havens

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bray,
 
On October 26, 2004 my office received a request to do an investigation of an alleged discrimination of your son Bradley. That investigation has been completed and is attached. You will note that complaint investigator Sandra Woodard draws sixteen conclusions, including three about your specific complaint. Th0se three conclusions are:
 
1.   Coach Freischlag did not discriminate against Bradley Bray in regards to participation in the booster club picture.
 
2.   Coach Freischlag did not discriminate against Bradley Bray by singling him out to inform him that he would not be in the booster club poster picture.
 
3.   The NY State Athletic rule of no Mandatory practices prior to the opening of the season was not violated.
 
This concludes the investigation and I now consider the matter closed.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
 
Michael Havens
Superintendent of Schools

Ms. Michelle DiSalvatore

Dear Ms. Di Salvatore,
 
Thank you for your letter of November 17th outlining the concerns about your position in our transportation department. Your letter was reviewed and the issue was discussed with the administrative staff by the Board of Education in an executive session at the November 18th meeting.
 
We agree that the administration said you would be able to complete bus trip runs when you took your new position. The school district did allow you to continue in both jobs until it was pointed out that the Fair Labor Standards Act was not being properly followed.
 
When that occurred, the rules for trip runs had to be modified. Now employees with less than 40 hours in a week are given first opportunity to take the trip runs. After all employees have had an opportunity to increase their hours to a full forty hour week, then the district considers trips which would involve overtime pay.
In this way, both the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the interests of school employees are met.
 
I have conferred with Mr. Havens and Mr. Callahan and they have assured me that you would keep all seniority you accrued while you were a driver if you decided to return to that position. You certainly would not have to worry about being the least senior driver as we just appointed three new ones at our Board of Education meeting on November 18th.
 
We do concur with the administration’s decision in this matter. We hope you decide to stay in your current position but certainly understand if you decide to return to a bus driver position.
 
Everyone has stated that you are an excellent employee and do a fine job in both positions. They expressed regret that the rules had to be changed but felt they had no choice given the clarity of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
 
I am sorry I could not be of more help in this matter. We appreciate your efforts on behalf of our students and our residents.
 
Respectfully,
 
 
John Triou, President
Wayne Central Board of Education

 Mr. Atseff
