Dr. Marinelli reported that for the last several years the DSs of the four BOCES in our JMT region have been meeting with presidents and deans of colleges in our region to discuss various issues around teacher shortages and quality. They conducted a study of local districts to gather data to identify the need for teacher preparation in certification areas. They have also discussed internships, access to them and quality of teacher preparation programs.

Letter to the Board

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
December 16, 2005
 
“For centuries men have kept an appointment with Christmas. Christmas means fellowship, feasting, giving and receiving, a time of good cheer, home.” ~W.J. Ronald Tucker
 
Greetings from Wayne Central. Below are a few items of interest.
 
Board Letter:
   
1.  Concerts: Tis’ the season for Christmas concerts. If you didn’t catch any this week. We are having them this Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It should definitely get you in the Christmas or Hanukkah spirit.
 
2.  Negotiations Update: We continue to meet each Wednesday for negotiations. I have nothing new to report other than we continue to work positively toward a settlement.
 
3.  High School Honor Roll Lists: Attached are the honor roll letters and the list of students who achieved a ranking on either the merit roll (85% or higher), honor roll (90% or higher) or high honor roll (95% or higher). For our high school students who have achieved an 85% or higher overall average for the first 10 weeks the breakdown is as follows: Grade 12: 48% of the senior class; Grade 11: 46% of the Junior Class; Grade 10: 42% of the Sophomore Class; Grade 9: 52% of the Freshman Class. I particularly like the Freshman Class numbers where we have over half the class on the honor roll. I hope that we will continue to build on these numbers.
 
4.  Ontario Town Board:     One of the Board’s goals for me when I first came was to establish closer ties with the towns of Ontario and Walworth. I can honestly say that I had no part in now having two staff members serving on the Ontario Town Board. Lori Smith was appointed to fill the vacancy left when Mark Brewer resigned Monday evening. Since we now have one republican and one democrat I have declared the district office neutral territory. I know Lori will be a great councilwoman. She has overseen a number of excellent community projects.
 
5.  Freewill Concert: Thursday night we held our Freewill concert during some questionable weather. Greg and I had checked the roads earlier and they seemed fine. The salters had done their job and the surfaces were only wet. As a result I allowed after school events to go on as planned. I went out on the roads again at 5:00. Again they still seemed in good shape. By 6:00 when students and parents began to show up the conditions had deteriorated. Of course by that time it would have been difficult to cancel the performance. I was suppose to attend a Foundation meeting that night but knew I better stay at the concert so parents could speak to me. Needless to say there were a number who did seek me out to let me know how they felt. Given the circumstances, I can't say I blame them for being upset. I don't think I'll be winning any popularity contests in Walworth for a while.
   
6.  Superintendent Weekend: I will be out of town this weekend visiting my daughter. I will have my cell phone if you need to contact me.
 
7.  Upcoming Events:
12/18 – HS Band & Chorus Concert @ PAC – 2:30 p.m.
12/20 – OE Band & Chorus Concert @ PAC – 7:00 p.m.

Educational Presentation – Regional Results of State Assessments
Tony Tripolone and Marla Iverson reported on the regional results of State Assessments
 
Tony presented district comparison data. ELA 8 continues to be an area of concern. Math 4 is excellent. (Naples has again reached the national goal of 100% of the students reaching proficiency in Math 4 and many districts are not too far behind.) Math 8 is really coming along, as is ELA 4. The energy we’ve put into Math 8 is paying off. (We exceed the state’s growth even though little progress was attained from any group in the state this year.) Also, for the first time our region achieved the state benchmark of 150 as a Performance Index on all four assessments. We continue to outperform the state in ELA and Math, as well as in Regents. Districts that aren’t making progress need to continue to align and map their curricula particularly in view of the 3-8 testing and develop parallel tasks to determine local achievement. We are working with them to analyze the data and increase their understanding of how to use the data to inform instruction. We will also try to provide the momentum needed to improve literacy across curricula and in helping teachers to identify strategies necessary to address student needs.
 
OJ Sahler arrived at 6:45PM

►Nancy Scher read the response to Deb Cimineri’s request at the October board meeting.



►Nancy Scher read the response to Deb Cimineri’s request at the October board meeting.

“On the evening of October 24 at our school board meeting you presented several questions regarding the Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES Tractor Trailer program. You concerns centered on: there wasn’t a class scheduled, the trucks are going to be parked and not used, and that this was a career field where there is employment. You also inquired as to whether there would be classes run sometime in the future. The fact that you took the time to come to our board meeting and make this presentation tells me that you deeply care about this career field and you are proud of your contributions as an instructor.
 
Our actions on the Tractor Trailer program and other career training programs are certainly not a reflection on staff skills or the importance of conducting a career training program. You were correct to say that there are students interested in enrolling in the Tractor Trailer class. However, there are an insufficient number of students who can obtain funding in order to pay for the course and, therefore, in order for us to schedule another class at this time.
 
We do want to promote driver training classes and driver careers. We will be retaining two of our trucks for now, and we will continue to research how we can help students obtain funding. When we have a sufficient number of students, who are able to pay the tuition, we will move to begin a new class.”
 
►Stu Einstein reported on his trip to Washington, DC. He noted it put in perspective how important it is to provide a good education and the need to provide a good place to grow up. Geneva was the only community in New York State to be recognized. It was an exciting event, working together to help kids. Finger Lakes Health will be looking at how leadership programs can be provided to retain leaders in our community.
 
►Nadina Stevens reported on the seminar held at the NYSSBA Annual Convention last month in Rochester. The attendance was the largest ever (75). Everyone enjoyed the program.
 

►Jeanne Durfee, Stu Einstein and Nancy Scher attended the Four County School Boards Association general meeting last week and commented on the program on Childhood Nutrition and Obesity. A pediatrician from the University of Rochester Medical Center provided a presentation on the scope, causes, and effects of childhood obesity, the coordinator of the Student Support Services from GV BOCES outlined the new federal requirement for a wellness committee and policy in school districts, the Wellness coordinator from Clyde-Savannah CSD talked about how they are addressing it, and a representative from the Heart Association described the information and support available to schools as they work on the problem. To sum it up, it was noted that the nutrition and obesity problem has a negative impact on student achievement and must be addressed for that reason, not just because it is a federal mandate. It was also noted that this will not come without a cost - serving healthy foods is not inexpensive.

Dr. Marinelli reported that for the last several years the DSs of the four BOCES in our JMT region have been meeting with presidents and deans of colleges in our region to discuss various issues around teacher shortages and quality. They conducted a study of local districts to gather data to identify the need for teacher preparation in certification areas. They have also discussed internships, access to them and quality of teacher preparation programs.

W-FL BOCES received their Health and Safety compliance report with a 99% score.
 
Committee of district superintendents looking at best practices in their BOCES.
 
November 2nd Summit - The Summit provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships and to identify new collaborative opportunities necessary to carryout the Pre-K-16 priorities described in the New York State Board of Regents Statewide Plan for Higher Education. Key initiatives described in the plan are to provide K-12 students and their families the information they need to prepare for higher education and to help school districts ensure that all students are taught by qualified, certified teachers and that all school leaders and other school professionals are well prepared.
 
Governor Pataki signed a bill to permit BOCES to operate a full day technical high school. BOCES can’t grant the diploma that would remain with local districts.
 
Erie #2 Merger study completed, they did not recommend merger with another BOCES. Monroe 1 and 2 study will be issued in December.
