Letter to the Board

January 6, 2006

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter in New Year’s Day.” - - Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Greetings from Wayne Central. Below are a few items of interest.

Board Agenda Information:

1. Executive Session (Administrative only): We will need to have an executive session to discuss a couple items. First, we need to discuss a specific personnel issue. The second discussion item is an appeal of a recent Superintendent’s Hearing. I have attached the items submitted to support the appeal by student Ray Brooks (on his own behalf as an 18 year old). I have also attached a memo outlining my decision. In the meantime, as of the date the appeal was received, the suspension was held in abeyance and Ray was placed back in tutoring awaiting the outcome of his appeal. The third item we need to discuss is the Four County matter of the recent embezzlement charges against the administrative assistant. Joyce will explain the situation to the Board and answer questions.

2. Dr. Marinelli Visit: Dr. Marinelli, Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES District Superintendent makes a visit to each component district board meeting once a year to meet each board and speak briefly on BOCES programs and to offer an opportunity for you to ask questions of him. This also gives him an opportunity to get to know our district a bit better. Please let me know if I can help with any area of concern or questions regarding BOCES prior to Thursdays meeting.

3. OE Principalship: Joe is off and running successfully at the high school. Bob Pearles is off and running successfully at OE. Shortly, we will begin our search process for a new Elementary principal. I will outline the process with you.

4. District Goals: We are almost half way through the year. You have heard about some of the improvement plans and progress. You will hear the next report at our January 26th meeting. I will be giving you a brief 5-10 minute overview of where we stand with the goals.

5. Get the Vote Out Committee: The Board and district established this as a goal for this year due to the close passage margin of last year’s vote. Because the commissioner said we can’t campaign to pass the budget, only present the facts, I am not calling it the “pass the budget coalition”. We do, however need to establish a committee of Board members and others to begin planning the campaign. I suggest you establish the Board committee members and the chairman at this meeting. That group can then invite community members, staff and others to join the group.

6. Instructional Priorities: Each year at this time, as part of the budgeting process, our assistant superintendent discusses our instructional priorities with you to make our budget reflects the district priorities. Mr. Spring will be doing that with you.

7. Project Update: Mr. Atseff will present you with an update on our old project. Mr. Davis will bring you up to speed on our new energy conservation project

8. Financial Update: Mr. Atseff will complete his monthly review of our finances.

9. Personnel: Please note that Dave Ragusas, former assistant principal at Webster is being added as a substitute assistant principal at the high school. Our former substitute could only work until Christmas. Dave is doing a great job.

10. Policy: Attached are policies for first reading and single reading regulations for adoption.

Board Letter

1. Negotiations: We will be meeting for negotiations next Wednesday from noon to 8:00 p.m. I hope to come to resolution on several items.

2. American Red Cross Letter: Attached is a letter from the American Red Cross acknowledging receipt of $700.08 received from the Ontario Primary School. This represents a collection that went on this fall where students and staff dropped their change into jars to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

3. Joe Siracuse: Joe began his new assignment as High School Principal this week. He was welcomed by a staff reception on Tuesday afternoon and a student organized welcome reception during advisory on Wednesday. I saw him sitting on the team bench during the boys’ varsity basketball game with his daughter Wednesday evening and I know he particularly enjoys the close proximity the HS has with the District Office and all of its staff (ha). I am sure this will be a busy, enjoyable, full year for Joe.

4. Bob Pearles - As you know Bob has agreed to come back and serve as interim principal at Ontario Elementary. I have meet with him a couple times this week and he is acclimating very well to his “old” surroundings. We are very happy to have him back as this will make the transition as smooth as possible.

5. Upcoming Events:

1/16 – Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday – Schools Closed

Memorandum
To: Board of Education
From: Michael Havens
Date: 01/09/06

Re: Appeal of Ray Brooks Superintendent hearing

Attached is the written appeal of my superintendent’s hearing regarding Ray Brooks. On December 19th Ray pled guilty to insubordination while already suspended out of school for a previous incident. Specifically he admitted that on December 13th he was arguing with the tutoring teacher and other students. He walked up and down the tutoring room yelling. Next he turned in his economics project with another student’s (female) handwriting. Finally he destroyed his computer disk and threw it at the front window of the tutoring center.

The Board needs to carefully consider the attached appeal and my overview of events. During executive session you should decide whether you wish to overturn my decision. If you decide to do that, you will make a motion and vote to do so in regular session. If you decide not to overturn my decision then you need do nothing and the Board President will write a letter to Ray stating you did not overturn my decision and his suspension is in effect.

No one is disputing Ray’s actions or my finding of guilt. The appeal is of my decision to remove him from the tutoring center for the remainder of the year. Ray may return to school in the fall of 2006. This is Ray’s 6th superintendent’s hearing. In my thirty years of education I have never dealt with a student who went to a superintendent’s hearing 6 times. Most would be permanently gone after the second time. We have been patient with Ray in hopes we could get a diploma for him, but he has run out of opportunities. Also understand that while there are six superintendent’s hearings there are pages of other issues that were dealt with at the building level. Here is a brief history of just the superintendent’s hearings;

date	incident	discipline
1. 10/26/2000	Found guilty of distributing drugs in school	Suspended remainder of semester
2. 1/24/2001	Found guilty of selling marijuana in school	Suspended one full year
3. 2/12/2002	Found guilty of using drugs in school	Suspended from school two full calendar years
4. 5/26/2005	Found guilty of insubordination during a school evacuation (gas leak)	Suspended the remainder of the year
5. 9/27/2005	Found guilty of possessing alcohol and marijuana on school property	Suspended the remainder of the school year
6. 12/19/2005	Found guilty of insubordination at the tutoring center while already on suspension for drugs	Suspended from tutoring center for remainder of the year. May return to school in fall 2006.

Ray’s last chance was the tutoring center. He knew at his last hearing that any behavior problems at the tutoring center would result in this discipline. He has made these poor decisions and unfortunately must now pay the penalty for his decisions. It is my belief that, if anything, we have been too lenient with Ray over the years, perhaps in recognition of the tragic shooting of his mom.

During this appeal I have allowed Ray to return to the tutoring center. Attached is a disciplinary referral to the principal which was sent today about an incident Ray was involved in yesterday.
