XIII. POLICY COMMITTEE ITEMS
Policy 7220 â Graduation Requirements â Revised â First Reading
Regulation 7220 â Graduation Requirements â New â First Review
Regulation 5790 â Transportation on School Busses of Persons Other Than Students â New â First Review
Mr. Johnson presented the policy and regulation items, noted above, for review and consideration by the Board of Education.
Mr. Triou asked if the additional hours for community service incorporated in the increased graduation requirements will pose any limitations for students. Mr. Havens noted that our students presently must fulfill fifteen (15) hours of community service and he believes they will meet the additional requirement without problems.
Mrs. Lyke asked if there is a need for additional staff positions and time to arrange for community service and internships and maintain records of same. Mr. Havens stated that the requirements would require additional time and staff.
Mr. Davis expressed a concern that many adults feel that they have too much to deal with already in their career and family responsibilities and asked if the new requirements pose the same pressures and restraints on our students and prevent them from having time to âbe a kid.â Mr. Havens stated that the new requirements are intended to provide a more rigorous curriculum for our students as they prepare for their futures and careers. He noted that our requirements may exceed those of neighboring school districts but they are still less than those in other industrialized nations.
Mr. Johnson noted the proposal is to phase-in the new requirements over a five (5) year period and that he believes our students can adjust to them with the support and resources of our staff. He also believes that the increased requirements prepare our students for future careers and pursuits and that our expectations are well-outlined in the policy and regulations.
Mr. Wyse noted that he, and the several other trustees who have also attended the workshops, continuously heard at model schoolâs training that a rigorous and relevant curriculum is essential for future success of our students in thr 21st century. He added that âyou will never achieve a goal you do not set.â
Mr. Johnson invited trustees to advise him of any additional concerns about these proposals prior to the next scheduled policy meeting on Wednesday, June 15tth at 4:00 p.m. at the district office.
Mr. Triou noted that the proposed regulation to transport persons other than students on busses had its origin in a request by a resident who has served as a substitute at Freewill Elementary School for more then twenty (20) years who is in need of a ride to school at times due to a disability which prevents use of an automobile. This proposal allows use of school busses at the discretion of the superintendent of schools.
Mrs. Lyke suggested replacing the term âemergency basisâ with âas neededâ and added that the person who originated this request serves as a good role model for others.
By consensus, trustees approved first reading and review of the proposed policies and regulation, respectively, as revised.
XIV. ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT â None
XV. ADDITIONAL BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
A.
A, Mrs. Brunner stated that she was pleased to attend the recent retirement event for Mrs. Woodard and Mr. Davis and thanked Mr. Callahan for his efforts in planning and emcee for the event.
B.
Mrs. Brunner noted that she intends to seek election as vice-president of the Board of Education for the 2005-2006 school year.
C.
Mrs. Lyke asked who from the Board of Education will attend the annual workshops for model schools. Mr. Havens noted that Mr. Triou and Mr. Schultz will join with school staff this summer and bring the number of trustees who have attended the training to seven (7).
D.
Mrs. Lyke suggested that the persons who attend those workshops seek information in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program and the need to include more female students in engineering programs. Mr. Havens noted that the IB program has components for elementary, middle and high school levels. Mr. Johnson noted that the Wilson Magnet High School in the Rochester City School District has an IB program that is ranked fifth in the United States.
E.
Mrs. Diller noted that she will conclude her three (3)-year term as a trustee on June 30th and thanked everyone for their support during that term. She feels it was a valuable learning experience. Mrs. Lyke stated she would hope Mrs. Diller would return for another term in the future and trustees extended thanks to Mrs. Diller for her contributions and service as a school board member.

Statement of purpose and objectives Att. 2
The purpose of the Foundation is to:
ˇ
Enhance the excellent educational programs that are synonymous with the Wayne Central School District and encourage the community to be active participants in student education.
The goal of the Foundation is to:
ˇ
Promote hands-on instruction and support innovation in the classroom through teacher grants, workshops, speakers, special programs, field trips, enrichment programs.
While choosing directors, one should consider:
ˇ
General qualifications.
ˇ
Community relations.
ˇ
Ability to help your organization qualify for 501(c) (3) tax-exempt status.
The role of the board of directors is to develop and implement âorganizational policies and goals, budgeting, fundraising, and disbursing a groupâs fund.â The profile of a potential director: any member of the community with broad practical skills, with contacts in your nonprofitâs area, with fundraising or accounting experience. The members on the board should be between nine and 15
Scope and programs of the nonprofit.
ˇ
Board members' responsibilities and time commitments.
ˇ
Rewards for serving on your board.
This description will give the board members an idea of what is expected of them. The full board of directors can delegate some of its duties to an executive committee of two or more directors.
Three types of foundation boards.
1.
School board-controlled foundation â all foundation directors are appointed or controlled by the Board of Education.
2.
Autonomous foundation board â the foundation board is entirely separated from the school board. The school does not need to give its approval to the changes the foundation board may want to operate.
3.
The embedded model- the foundation is a separate, autonomous corporation. As members of the foundation board, school administrators represent the schoolâs interest. Changes need to be approved unanimously by the school board representatives and the other members of the foundation board.
While deciding on which type of board will be most appropriate for the foundation, it is also critical to determine what the relationship between the foundation and the school or the school district will be. Board members should be financially committed to the foundation, thus setting a positive, credible example.
The basic format of a board includes a chairman, a president, a vice-president, a treasurer, and a secretary.
The board must be able to:
ˇ
Determine the needs of the school. In order to establish the school or the school district needs McCormick suggests we should look at education programs, financial data (the local budget for education), and external environmental factors (inflation, demographic changes).
ˇ
Involve the parents and the community leaders.
he
Wayne Central Education Foundation
is a private, not-for-profit organization established to raise funds to foster, encourage, and promote public education programs in Wayne Central Schools, Ontario/Walworth, NY.
The goal of the Foundation is to promote excellence in Education by recognizing students for scholastic achievement, encouraging teachers to take innovative approaches to public education, and fostering community service.
The Foundation accomplishes this by working collaboratively with the business leaders, service organizations, educators, and residents of the community.
|
|
Independent of the school district, the Foundation raises and disburses funds for projects beyond those supported by regular school sources. The additional funding helps fill the gap that exists between the programs teachers would like to have and those available to them through district budgeting.
The Foundation has also become the manager of a growing number of financial endowments, established by community members in the name of friends and loved ones. The endowments generate revenue to provide scholarships and other educational opportunities as directed by the endowments.
|
our assistance is vital to the cause of educational excellence in your community. A gift to the Wayne Central Education Foundation can help support student enrichment activities both in and out of the classroom.

Date: June 16, 2005
Re: Create New Reserve Funds
Per the discussions from the March 24th work session, with Ray Wager, the districtâs external auditor, I am recommending the creation of two (2) new reserve funds.
The first is the ERS reserve. This reserve allows the district the ability to offset large increases in employer contribution rates.
The second is the Retirement Benefits reserve. This reserve gives the district the ability to pay for benefits for retired employees, directly from the reserve.
Both reserves are intended to give the district general fund budget stability.
I recommend that the Board of Education approve the creation of these two (2) new reserves, at their June 23, 2005 meeting.
