| IX. | REPORT ON ACTION ITEMS BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS | ||||||||||||||||||
| A. | Mr. Havens presented a copy of the book, “The World is Flat” from the high school library-media center and started it in circulation among trustees who had not yet read the book, | |
| X. | REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS | ||||||||||||||||||
| A. | PRESENTATION ON INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM | |
| Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Joseph Siracuse, high school principal, to present information on the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program for information of the Board of Education. |
| Mr. Siracuse noted the prior interest expressed by trustees in exploring this program for our students. Some 1,300 schools in 110 countries offer this program which challenges students to develop higher-order thinking skills Students can earn an IB distinction on their high school diploma as well as college-level credits in math, science, computers, literature, foreign languages, social sciences and the fine arts based on international standards. | ||||||||||||||||||
| He outlined the timeline for staff orientation and training and the financial and staffing implications for the program which incorporates the graduation requirements, community service hours, internships, extra-curricular and athletic participation and the “relevance and rigor” of the model school’s program. Staff orientation would occur in the fall of 2006 and the school district would submit a program application by June 1, 2007. Visitations by IB representatives would occur in the 2007-2008 school year and students in the junior class would begin a diploma program in the 2008-2009 school year. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Discussion among trustees and school personnel followed and is generally summarized as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Robusto what percentage of juniors and seniors would participate in the program and what selection process would occur. Mr. Siracuse estimated 12 to 15 students in an initial group of participants based on an open enrollment process. |
| Mrs. Lyke asked where the IB program is presently in place. Mr. Siracuse cited Pittsford, Fairport and Victor as a few local examples. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Griswold asked if there is any record of increased success among students who start in the program prior to their junior year and if any other school districts offer the IB program at the primary/elementary or middle school levels. Mr. Laurence Spring, assistant superintendent for instruction, noted some schools in the Hudson Valley offer a primary/elementary program with some middle level programs in areas closer to us. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Davis asked if the application fee is an annual expense. Mr. Siracuse stated it is. Mr. Havens stated that IB program is not an inexpensive venture. He noted that Mr. Siracuse and some high school staff members are planning to attend a preliminary overview of the program in April. |
| Mr. Davis noted the need cited in the previous meeting’s educational presentation on the pre-engineering program for additional classroom space and asked what additional space this proposed program would require. Mr. Siracuse stated that there is adequate classroom space of the nature required for the program; the space needs expressed for the pre-engineering program are different. |
| Mrs. Lyke asked where and when the preliminary overview would occur and who would attend from our high school. Mr. Siracuse stated that the meeting is a full-day Saturday session in Boston and noted the staff members who plan to attend. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. Lyke asked if there are any additional, special training requirements for staff members if the decision is made to implement an IB program. Mr. Siracuse noted he would have additional information after the April overview session. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Johnson noted that the Wilson Magnet High School in the Rochester City School District conducts an IB program in conjunction with the University of Rochester and encouraged Mr. Siracuse and his staff to visit or observe the programs. Mr. Siracuse stated that visitations to schools which presently offer the program are planned. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Johnson asked how the high school staff feels about the proposed program. Mr. Siracuse stated that the concept was introduced about a year ago as part of the model school’s initiative. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. Lyke asked if our high school must link with a specific college for acceptance of the IB credits for our students. Mr. Siracuse stated there is no such requirement; individual colleges and universities have the option whether or not to recognize the IB programs or credits. |
| Mr. Schultz noted that, historically, 80% of students who pursue the program are successful and asked what a student transcript would show if the student is not successful in an IB course or program. Mr. Siracuse stated that the transcript would indicate the course and the grade earned, and whether or not the IB designation was earned. |
| Mr. Schultz asked if students would earn alternate credit if they pursue an IB course and are not successful. Mr. Siracuse noted that such questions are among the topics under review. |
| Mr. Spring noted that the same students who enroll in advanced placement courses often pursue the IB courses and credits. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Havens noted his personal experience with a family member who enjoys learning and who was allowed to shorten their college term based on IB scores. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Griswold noted that trustees have attended training sessions and are designated as liaisons for the model school’s program and suggested a similar approach for the proposed IB program. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Havens thanked Mr. Siracuse for his presentation and trustees for their input and stated that additional updates will occur as program development proceeds. He anticipates an additional presentation in August, 2006 to seek formal direction and endorsement of the proposal by the Board of Education. |
| B. | DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED BUDGET • 2006-2007 | |
| Mr. Havens presented the final draft of the proposed school budget for the 2006-2007 school year for review and consideration by the Board of Education. The proposal totals $37,868,120 and calls for a tax rate increase of 1.98%. | |||||||||||||||||||
| The proposal includes funds for current programs and services as well as addition of primary and intermediate level literacy coaches, introduction of the pre-engineering program and four (4) additional, extra-curricular club activities, the latter two as part of the model school’s program. | |||||||||||||||||||
| It also provides for expanded computer lab time, at the high school, and a summer “bridge” program for middle school students at risk of academic failure. Two district classes for students for special needs will allow continuation of long-term efforts to return those students from out-of-district sites. Two maintenance trucks are slated for replacement and additional interscholastic athletic teams in softball and baseball are included at the modified (middle school) level. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Residents will consider the proposed budget, expenditure of funds from the school bus purchase reserve fund and election of three (3) school trustees at the annual school election on Tuesday, May 16th. A public hearing on the proposed budget is scheduled for Thursday, May 4th. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Wyse feels that commendations are due to staff members who assisted in the budget development process for an excellent job. He believes we have an excellent budget package to present to our residents for consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. Lyke added compliments to members of the collective bargaining teams. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Formal adoption of this proposed budget is included as an item in the consensus agenda for this evening’s meeting. | |||||||||||||||||||
| C. | FINANCIAL AND BUDGET UPDATE | |
| Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Atseff, assistant superintendent for business, to present monthly financial reports for review and consideration by the Board of Education. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Atseff presented reports and information through March 31, 2006 as follows: (copies filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting) | |||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Status Report: 86% of budgeted revenues have arrived; all accounts are in proper order. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Expense Report – General Fund: 63% of the general fund allocations are spent to date; appropriations are in good shape. |
| Mr. Griswold asked if any capital improvements by B.O.C.E.S. are eligible for state aid. Mr. Atseff stated that the state aid is paid at time the funds are spent. He reviewed the process in place among component districts to set aside any unexpended balance in a capital project fund for such improvements since a Board of Cooperative Educational Services is not allowed to carry a fund balance. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Davis noted concern expressed last fall about the anticipated energy cost increases and asked if the corrective and preventive action steps proposed at that time remain in place or as an option. Mr. Atseff stated that the potential conservation steps are still available to address cost increases as needed. | |||||||||||||||||||

| A. | BUILDING USE – WALWORTH TOWN BOARD | |
Bob Plant, Walworth Town Supervisor, noted that he has sent a letter to Mr. Havens outlining his concerns about the limited availability of Freewill Elementary School for use by programs of Walworth Recreation and Parks.
Mr. Havens noted that he has reviewed these concerns with the building principal and that the school district wishes to make all school facilities available whenever possible. He also recognizes that less school space is nearby for Walworth programs, including the heavily used Gananda schools, than the facilities on the Ontario Center campus for Ontario recreation programs.
Mr. Wyse asked if a review was ever conducted of the level of use of school facilities by each of the town recreation and parks’ departments. Mr. Havens stated that such statistics are not maintained. He noted that use of school facilities by school and community groups occurs every weekday and many weekends with exception of official school holidays.
| B. | TRAILWORKS, INC – ONTARIO TOWN BOARD | |
Lori Eaton-Smith and Jason Ruffell, members of the Ontario Town Board, shared information from Trailworks, Inc., a not-for-profit organization based in Williamson to provide a common voice for use, development and maintenance of trail systems throughout Wayne County. (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting)
They have attended recent meetings to expand and develop continuity for trails between local towns and to incorporate trails into comprehensive planning in local towns and villages.
Mr. Havens noted the outdoor nature center at the middle school includes some trails on the Ontario Center campus and that there are trails on school property at the Freewill Elementary School site on Canandaigua Road, adjacent to Greystone Country Club.
Mr. Plant noted he has had inquiries from residents about trails where horses are allowed and he will share this information with them.
Mr. Griswold asked if a state-wide trail system exists and how this local effort relates to such a system. Mr. Ruffell and Mrs. Eaton-Smith noted the Genesee Valley trail system and trail areas adjacent to the Erie Canal.
Mr. Griswold asked about funding for trail systems. Mr. Ruffell noted that this program is locally funded. Deborah Germain, director of recreation and parks for the Town of Walworth, noted that this is a grassroots effort which does local fund-raising and seeks some grants.
Mrs. Lyke asked if the trails are for non-motorized vehicles; Mr. Ruffell stated that is the primary focus.
Mr. Robusto asked what the group envisions for the next five (5) years. Mr. Ruffell noted that the intent is to finalize trail connections among towns from east to west with additional linkages as they may become available.
Mr. Havens stated that the school district is interested in participating in these projects in those areas where school lands may become involved and related activities.
Mr. Triou noted he recently visited the trails developed by girl scouts and boy scouts at the Freewill Elementary School site and noted the fine job they did.
| C. | ONTARIO COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT – ONTARIO TOWN BOARD | |
Bill Riddell, director of recreation and parks for the Town of Ontario, reviewed the scope and costs associated with the proposed community center now under consideration.
He noted that a 30-day waiting period is now underway for a potential permissive referendum on the lease portion of the proposed project. If the requisite number of signatures is submitted, a public referendum on the lease portion of the total expense would occur within 45 days. If no petitions are submitted, the proposed project would proceed.
He displayed architectural renderings of the proposal which includes an enclosed turf facility for soccer or football, a gymnasium, and a common building containing fitness, multi-purpose and aerobic areas.
Mr. Havens asked when completion of the proposed facility is projected. Mr. Riddell stated the outside date for completion is fall of 2007. Mr. Havens stated that would allow our teams to use the facilities for practice sessions in the winter of 2007-2008. Mr. Riddell reviewed the proposed schedule of rental and membership fees which will support operations of the proposed facility. He added that an outdoor soccer field is also included in the site plan but is separate from the funds for the proposed community center; local soccer boosters have offered to provide some financial support for that additional field.
| D. | ONTARIO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – ONTARIO TOWN BOARD | |
Mr. Ruffell outlined the process now underway to finalize the update comprehensive plan for the Town of Ontario and to begin detailed review and recommendations for revisions to the zoning regulations of the town reflected by the comprehensive plan.
The overall plan was developed over a three (3)-year period by a citizens’ committee. The plan has had an initial review and approval by the Wayne County Planning Board and one public hearing by the Ontario Town Board. Following some additional revisions and modifications, the Ontario Town Board will conduct an additional public hearing and submit those changes to the county planning board for a final review. The timeline for completion is July, 2006.
At the same time, a committee of citizens and town officials is working on the specific revisions to the zoning regulations. The group meets twice each month and has a similar July completion date.
He briefly reviewed the major components of the comprehensive plan in terms of lot size, density and farmland protection. He added that the entire comprehensive plan, including maps, is available on the town web site at ontariotown.org under the “announcement” section.
| E. | EMISSION CONTROLS • DIESEL POWERED VEHICLES | |
Jim Switzer, a member of the Ontario Town Board, noted that town officials have had recent discussions with the superintendent of highways and highway staff on the proposed new federal regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on emission controls and fuel supplies for municipal vehicles. Vehicle and engine maintenance regulations will require new, expensive equipment and the Ontario Town Board believes it is prudent to explore joint efforts among the school district and local towns.
He introduced Bob Fenn, crew foreman from the Town of Ontario Highway Department, who is also serving as acting superintendent of highways in the absence of Mr. Slocum. Mr. Fenn noted that he and other highway employees have attended seminars and trade shows where the new federal regulations were presented and the impact on vehicles, engines, fuel supplies and staff training were outlined.
Mr. Plant noted that Michael Frederes, Superintendent of Highways for the Town of Walworth, regretted that he could not attend this evening and is interested in working with the school and other towns on this issue.
Mr. Fenn provided a detailed explanation of the new fuel supplies, engine requirements and refinements, operational details, training for operators and mechanics and change in design and size of vehicles which the new regulations will prompt. The cost of a 10-wheel town truck, for example, at appx. $130,000, is expected to increase by $10,000 to $15,000 when the new requirements are imposed. Fuel purchases, parts and storage and expenses for maintenance and staff training are also expected to increase town and school costs as well.
The new regulations will first take effect on new vehicles in 2007 and become more stringent in 2010. He also noted that the new fuel systems will produce an outside tank temperature of 600 degrees and an exhaust temperature of 1,200 degrees which is expected to pose problems when the trucks enter fueling centers, landfill areas (with loose ground items), travel on tree-lined highways and when school busses idle.
Given the expected evolution of the new regulations from 2007 to 2010, Mr. Fenn advised that towns, schools, and counties approach equipment and related purchases with some caution. In the long-run, cooperative efforts will benefit everyone.
Mr. Wyse noted the issues the higher tank temperatures would pose for children around school busses and the frequent engine cleaning and upkeep on vehicles such as school busses and refuse trucks which make frequent stops each day.
Mr. Fenn noted that European countries have already adopted these new clean air regulations using derivatives from natural gas for cleaning the engines. He also reviewed the requirements for over-the-road trucks when driving between states to comply with various regulations.
Mr. Switzer noted that the highway department has also identified the need for design changes on town trucks to allow use of wing plows for snow removal with the re-location of fuel tanks on vehicles built to comply with the new federal regulations.
Joe Molino, Ontario Town Supervisor, noted that the Town of Ontario and the County of Wayne have placed orders for new vehicles prior to the effective date of the new regulations.
Mr. Havens noted that the school district is projecting an increase of appx. $7,000 per school bus from the new regulations and that Fred Prince, school transportation manager, is working with Mr. Slocum and Mr. Frederes on implementation of the new regulations and possible joint ventures. The school district replaces appx. six (6) busses each year.
Mr. Switzer stated that joint efforts on vehicle maintenance and fuel purchases, for example, would result in some economies for the common taxpayers served by the school district and the towns.
Mr. Wyse noted that there is a limit to the number of times for repair of the chassis for trucks or busses.
| F. | PROPOSED SCHOOL BUDGET • 2006-2007 | |
Mr. Havens narrated a PowerPoint presentation on the proposed school budget which he is sharing with school and community groups.
He displayed graphs which illustrate the growth in student achievement in reading, writing and language arts over the past six (6) years and the top rankings for each which are the result of the funds sought and directed to school programs. He also showed graphics which reflect the increase of the college-bound rate to 92% of the Class of 2006.
The presentation also provided details on costs for the three (3) major components of the school budget – instruction (71%), administration (12%) and capital (17%) expenses – and projected revenues. State aid will increase based on the latest state budget announcements.
The school tax rate is projected to increase by 1.98%. Using the state’s current standard for an average property tax assessment ($100,000), this would result in a net property tax increase of $42.00 per year before STAR exemptions are applied ($29.00 per year with STAR).
He noted that the goal of the Board of Education is to provide the best programs and services at an acceptable cost level.
Mr. Havens added that the school election ballot will also include a proposal to spend existing funds from the school bus purchase reserve fund for annual replacement of school busses and election of three (3) members of the Board of Education.
Six (6) residents have filed petitions for school trustee seats. He noted that four (4) of the candidates, incumbents John Triou and Scott Griswold and newcomers Susan Newman and Marian Adams Wulfert, were present this evening. Each was recognized.
Polls are open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 16th in the new gym at the high school.
| G. | JOINT PURCHASING OPTIONS – ONTARIO TOWN BOARD | |
Mr. Switzer presented a suggestion from the Ontario Town Board that the two towns and the school district explore options for joint purchasing of common commodities. He stated that he had used a similar approach during his prior term as town supervisor and found it very efficient and convenient for items such as copier paper, copier machine supplies and office supplies.
Mr. Plant stated that the Walworth Town Board is interested in opportunities for joint purchasing of common commodities, citing copier paper as a frequently purchased item.
Mr. Havens stated that the school district seeks bids for copier paper which are appx. $20.00 per carton. Mr. Switzer and Mr. Plant noted that price would result in a cost savings based on prices they are now paying. Mr. Switzer noted that the smaller quantities used by the towns do not result in the lower prices that larger quantity bids, such as the school district, can yield, and that having the supply of paper nearby at all times at the school warehouse in the middle school is easier than ordering and shipment from office supply companies.
Mr. Havens noted that the school district is in the midst of bidding for copier paper at this time and welcomes participation by the towns. Town officials agreed to provide quantities for their needs within a few days.
Mr. Switzer suggested that representatives of each of the three boards meet to explore additional joint purchasing options. Each of the agencies expressed support for that approach. Representatives of the three boards were designated as Mr. Plant, Mr. Switzer and Mr. Schultz from the Board of Education.
Mr. Switzer also suggested that the school district share a copy of its annual bidding calendar to aid in planning additional joint purchasing efforts.
| H. | UPDATE ON FORMATION OF ONTARIO’S BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (B.I.D.) | |
Mr. Switzer noted that the new Business Improvement District (B.I.D.) for the Main Street area in the Ontario Hamlet was recently finalized and the initial tax levy for the district will appear on the January, 2007 town and county tax bill. He stated that this project was a long-term goal and effort of the merchants and the Chamber of Commerce and represented substantial efforts by property owners, business owners and town officials.
| VIII. | STUDENT QUESTIONS | ||||||||||||||||||
| (1) | Josh Briand, 2153 Ridge Road, Ontario, asked Mr. Havens if he could arrange a full month’s menu at the high school that did not include pizza. Mr. Havens stated that was a possibility; he added, however, that pizza is a top meal choice among students. Josh said he would “kiss his feet” if he could fulfill this request !! | ||
| (2) | Zachary Halloran, 5713 Walworth Road, Ontario, noted the absence of paper towels, soap and soap dispensers in corridor rest rooms and the varsity locker room at the high school. Mr. Havens thanked him for his comments and stated that repairs would occur the next day. | ||
| (3) | Rebecca Tobin, 2067 Ridge Road, Ontario, noted the need for repair and upkeep in the girls’ rest room in “D” wing in the high school. Mr. Havens thanked her for her comments and stated that repairs would occur the next day. | ||
| (4) | Jon Lawrence, 3737 Orchard Street, Walworth, asked why the student store at the high school is not allowed to sell candy items. Mr. Havens explained that NYS Education Law deems it inappropriate for sale of candy in student stores or school lunch programs. | ||
| IX. | PUBLIC COMMENT | ||||||||||||||||||
| A. Dawn Landry, 365 Jacobs Road, Macedon, asked if the potential of closing costs for the town landfill in the Town of Ontario would place the proposed new community center in jeopardy. Mr. Riddell stated that the two topics are separate from each other. Mr. Ruffell added that the Ontario Town Board has had extensive discussions on the impact and costs of potential landfill closing orders from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Mrs. Landry stated that she strongly supports the construction of the new community center. | |
| B. | Robert Wambach, 5839 Lanson Road, Ontario, asked if any of the state grants included in current funding estimates for the proposed community center are in jeopardy of elimination by vetoes of the Governor. Mr. Riddell stated no. |
| C | Edward Mahosky, 337 Ridge Road, Ontario, a student at the high school, asked if the proposed community center would include space for a 6- or 8-lane indoor track. Mr. Riddell invited Edward to visit his office and view the plans for the exercise/fitness walking area and turf areas in the proposed community center. |
| D. | Kathy Connelly, 734 Jacobs Road, Macedon, noted plans by a Macedon business owner a few years ago for an indoor track project. Mr. Molino stated that the proposed project was a joint town and private effort that did not materialize. |
| X. ESTABLISH NEXT MEETING DATE & LOCATION | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Molino stated that the Ontario Town Board would host the next joint meeting of the two town boards and the school board in October, 2006. A date during October was suggested; the final date will depend on the town budget development calendars. | |||||||||||||||||||
