“All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.”
- - Henry Miller
Greetings from Wayne Central. Below are a few items of interest.
Board Letter:
| 1.
| First snow: Bus drivers had their first snowy weather this season. We always worry about the first snow as each of us have to adjust our driving habits. They did a great job getting all our children safely in to school |
| 2.
| Negotiations: We are meeting with WTA (Wayne Teachers Association) weekly to work on the new contract. This past week we continued our discussion of benefits. We are trying very hard to work as a team to develop a good contract. Enclosed is our joint statement regarding this latest meeting. |
| 3.
| Wayne County Education Coalition: I believe that our sales tax money will be safe again this year provided we continue to be vigilant with our Supervisors. The shake up in the elections has many of them nervous, which is to our benefit. See the attached letter from Lori Verbridge. |
| 4.
| Windmill: I met with our MS and HS technology department yesterday to talk about building a windmill as a joint MS HS student project. The idea is pretty exciting. They would design and construct all aspects of the windmill including the generator and blades. There is still much background work to be done but I believe we will be bringing a proposal to you in January or February. We are also continuing discussions with a different source on the possibility of a windmill similar to Harbec’s. |
| 5.
| HS Principal Interview Status: The interviews have gone well. The candidates have worked their way through three separate committees and I now have three final candidates. I hope to be able to meet with them next week. I should have more to tell you after the Thanksgiving break on the outcome of my interviews. The three finalists are Deborah Tubiolo, who has been a foreign language teacher and an assistant principal at Greece Olympia HS; our own Joe Siracuse, who has been a second grade teacher, a secondary level social studies teacher and an elementary principal, and Robert Riviello who has been a fifth grade teacher, middle school reading teacher, elementary principal and a K-12 principal for curriculum and instruction. |
| 6.
| Zoning Board of Appeals Letter: Attached is a letter written to the Zoning Board of Appeals from Fred Prince. I am asking that each of you also contact our town representatives asking them to overturn this decision. I have attached the information you need to send an email or make a phone call. Even if you are not a resident of Ontario, as a Board Member of Wayne Central representing students in the Town of Ontario, you should make a contact as a matter of concern over the health and welfare for the students of our district. |
| 7.
| Rotary New Teacher Night: On Tuesday evening we had 22 new teachers/staff that attended the Rotary New Teacher night at the Ontario Golf Club. The evening followed its usual program of social time, dinner and then introductions by the building principals. All the principals were in attendance and only a small number of our new staff were unable to attend. This was a great opportunity for our new staff to meet community members and become acquainted with our area. I know it is appreciated by our staff. |
| 8.
| Board Letter: There will not be a board letter next week due to the Thanksgiving break. I would like to extend my best wishes to all of you and your families for a wonderful Thanksgiving day to enjoy the many blessings we have been given and to be thankful for those around us that fill our lives each day. Safe travels and don’t eat too much! (and if you do, may you at least get to have a nice long nap afterwards) /:> |

To the members of the Ontario Zoning Board of Appeals;
My name is Fred Prince. I am the Transportation Supervisor for the Wayne Central School District. I’m writing to express my concerns over recent Town actions that are creating a hardship for some of our students.
I am specifically concerned with the recent removal of school bus shelters on Roder Parkway and other Town roads. It is my understanding that the removal of these shelters was ordered by the Town of Ontario as a result of a variance issue with a property owner who resides at 713 Lake Rd. The details of this variance issue are published in the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting minutes dated 10/05/05. The property owner who was unsuccessful in his petition apparently decided to be vengeful and took issue with the placement of these shelters. Upon review by the Town, these shelters were deemed to be not in compliance and ordered removed.
I can certainly appreciate the fact that this homeowner was frustrated by the decision that was made. While I do understand his position, I have a hard time accepting the result of children being made to suffer over an adult issue. These shelters are a means for children to escape the elements while they wait for the school bus to arrive. The children must not wait outside without the protection of any shelter.
I am asking the Town of Ontario and the Zoning Board of Appeals to review the decision to remove the school bus shelters. I believe the current situation creates an unnecessary hardship for the children of our Town and our School District. Is there some additional rationale that we could consider in reversing this decision? Perhaps a grandfather clause?
Thank you for your time in considering this matter and ensuring the safety and well being of our children. Please feel free to contact me at 524-1120 with questions.

Subject: Commending your decision
Mr. Havens,
As a department that emphasizes character development amongst pre-teens and teens, we are in total agreement with your choice not to allow the production of Grease to occur in our district. We are proud that we have a leader that will take a stand and take the higher ground for what is right. It’s just sad that you had to justify this decision in the manner you had to. Thank you from the middle school Health and Family Sciences department.
Sincerely,
Tim Mattle

Wayne - Things are well at Wayne
Red Creek - Still at impasse with teachers
Newark - Mediation session with teachers differences are far apart. Will go to fact finding.

Midlakes - Settled one contract with support staff, in negotiations with secretaries and aides. Teachers are moving slowly to settle may go to impasse.
Accountability Issue – all 4 schools in good shape – District did not do well.
Thanks to Joe & Jack for E. Learning Symposium.
Geneva – Negotiations with administrators headed to fact finding. Salary and health insurance issues. Confidential group is working with the superintendent. Athletic field issues still on going. Comptroller audit on going.
Lyons - Enjoying my first few months in Lyons - going well. Noise from NAACP trying to lead discussion with a positive manner regarding cultural competence. Finishing up a bond issue for new entrance way.
Winter Sports
How would athletic cuts affect boys & girls sectional standings? Winter basketball – if you do not complete all games your teams would not be penalized.
Spring Sports – must complete in 6 events.

Meeting focused on meeting new RIC members. Topics of discussion: 3-8 testing scoring with grade 8 ELA being an area of concern.
Fuel Conservation
Data in packets – Heat settings form to be filled out. Superintendents will use the chart at their discretion. Recommendation to use the chart as a range of temperatures that the region is using. Chart is attached to the minutes.
Reading Recovery Presentation –Peg Brewer and Anita Hawkins gave a presentation of the Reading Recovery Program in our region.
Athletic Association Update
See handout letter for details
CSO Professional Development Topic – Favorite strategies of superintendents in providing instructional leadership.
Fred Wille - Open enrollment in AP classes. Leadership team discussed the idea. Went to BOE wrote policy & resolution. Leadership team wrote a protocol In guidance plan and handbook that all students could hear about.
The plan:
1.
Eliminated prerequisite
2.
Eliminated grade level and year requirement
3.
Eliminated hand picking
4.
No audit of AP classes. Enrollment went up 70%. Performance went up along with the enrollment.
Bob Young - Relationship with School Alliance for Continuous Improvement.
Activity of self- reflection and then an external review.
Mike Havens -What gets tested gets taught?
BOE set 8 goals
Focus students and staff on the goals
Hand out – focusing on what is important and managing all your resources for it.
Dan Starr - ELA 4 scores are dismal, focus on improving. Increase of staff development over three years. A great deal of time and effort have been spent have not seen the transfer into classroom results. Staff is now developing “IEP” like plans for students in need who are not classified as special education students.
Rick Amundson - Regents scores improving. HS principal has the teacher that teaches the course teaches the AIS for the students. AIS is very focused. Being implemented at MS level too. Counts as part of the teacher load part of Master Schedule.
Oren Cook - Instructional leadership team is new. Had the team read Jack Welch new book “Winning”. Faculty meetings were not allowing for enough time and discussion for areas of concern. Principals are working well together but need to learn how to work collaboratively with instructional staff.
Rich Boyes – in 2004 – 8th grade students did poorly in ELA and Math, Marion was beaten up in press. To combat this, the district decided to produce an annual report to show how students are doing in every assessment. Looking at data down to the student level. It is a good plan for having everyone on the same page. It is available on the web site available in community locations.
Mike Midey - Adding to course selection requires 3-4 preps from staff. Mike teaches a class every day to support his staff. Show expectation for lesson plans grading.
Tim McElheran - Extensive goals process keeps BOE focused. We report to BOE every other month. BOE no longer wanders – we bring them back to the goals they adopted. End of year there is a culminating event in reporting out. Specific critical questions are asked when new ideas are brought forward. How do you know you will be meeting with success? What will be your measurement that you have been successful?
Brenda Keith - We are working through the culture in hopes of reducing the autonomy of each classroom. We continue to infuse the standards and align curriculum to increase student performance. The district focuses a critical look at all areas of instruction. There is also an external review to see how the district is doing currently in the beginning phases. A level of high expectations is supported by BOE and staff.
Bill Schofield - Laptop update. Program is working well for staff but some teachers are resistant. We are removing desktops so they are forced to use laptops.
Regional Results of State Assessment
Handout in folder.- we ask that each superintendent read and review with staff the assessment results and then come back to discuss the information at the next meeting.

SALES TAX UPDATE
Thanks Dave and Jean for the update.
Here is what I have to date:
Jim Hoffman has thrown his hat in the ring. At this point he believes, if elected chairman he would appoint Colvin, Lyons, Hammond and Parks to the Finance Committee. I immediately told him that I could not support him as a candidate if he placed Colvin back on the finance committee.
He explained his rationale which is maintaining the balance of the old
regime and the new...if he is truly to be the compromise candidate. I
told him I understand what he is saying but I do not believe I can agree. I would have to check the numbers and get back to him. I am afraid this would set the committee up for a lot of fighting and disagreement and no work would get done. He plans to proceed as the compromise candidate. Again - I left this as I would get back to him and would have to think about what he said.
This morning Jim called me back and said there is a new candidate - Jim Fabino. He is an all round good guy and he believes the Board thinks that he might be able to come out in front.
I spoke with Kim Parks yesterday. She said that Bill Hammond is really the candidate she believes would move the county forward. She thinks the past Board members are afraid of change because they have never had a true leader. I think she is right. I questioned her about the recycling and she said that Bill has just asked to review it - he has said there is opportunity to privatize but at this time there would have to be a complete study before this decision were made.
Kim is hosting a new board member meeting on Friday. She said she is willing to set us up with a meeting with new members prior to Jan 1 if we would like. I think this might be a good idea.
I have not had a chance to call Jody Bender but will try to tomorrow.
Have a great day.
Laurie

SEWER TRUNK LINE PROPOSED: SOUTH OF RTE 441/WEST OF CANANDAIGUA ROAD:
Councilman Maciuska reported that he and Paul Russell had presented the proposal to the Macedon

receptive at this time, because:
¨
There are no signed contracts for the industrial area;
¨
They questioned whether the receipt of a grant was possible without a commitment from a developer;
¨
1/3 of the cost to the Sewer District is too high;
¨
The significant development increase will be residential, not industrial.
Councilman Maciuska stated there are 2 options:

Mr. Frank Guelli, Supervisor
Town of Walworth
3600 Lorraine Drive
Walworth, NY 14568
Dear Frank,
Like many, I was quite surprised to see the Walworth results scroll across the TV the other night. I can not imagine Walworth moving ahead without you. You have been the soul of this Town. I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed working with you these past six years. You have always been a strong supporter of the Wayne Central School system and our programs. I valued your insight about our local Walworth community as well as County politics.
Together we have seen some triumphs and defeats. I was thrilled to see the sales tax issue supported by such a large margin. It showed the County’s support for education. You were untiring in your support for us. I was disappointed the community center failed to materialize, as it would have provided an excellent site for an alternative school for some of our students.
We also have a few stories we can tell. I will never forget being called from our trip to Livingston County, told that the meeting was cancelled and then finding out they went without us. Although I was mad at the time it seems a bit more humorous now, especially in light of Mrs. Park’s new position.
I try to be philosophical about these turns of events. Although it may not seem like it now, this outcome may have a silver lining for you. You will now be able to spend more time in Florida with your wife and more time visiting your grandchildren. I know both are important to you. In the end family is what really matters most.
Thanks for the opportunity to work with someone of your caliber. It has been a wonderful experience for me. I look forward to working with you in other capacities in the future. Perhaps you’ll even have time to become involved with the educational foundation. Best of luck!
Sincerely,
Michael Havens
Superintendent of Schools
