| VI. | BOARD PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS - None | ||||||||||||||||||
| REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS | |||||||||||||||||||
| A. | ELECTROINIC AGENDA ITEMS | |
| Based on prior discussions about paperless meetings, Mr. Havens noted that this evening’s agenda and meeting materials are available during the meeting on laptop computers for trustees. He thanked Mrs. Green, Mr. Harris and Mrs. Eaton-Smith for their efforts in preparing materials and equipment to accomplish this new approach. He noted that few other local school boards have adopted this concept yet. |
| B. | REPORT ON OPENING DAY & OPENING WEEK | |
| Mr. Havens reported on a highly successful opening day and week of school and reviewed modifications on bus unloading and loading procedures at Ontario Elementary School and re-location of the teacher resource center to the middle school. |
| C. | REPORT ON SUMMER “Bridges” TRANSITION PROGRAM • Middle School | |
| Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Christopher Shaffer, assistant middle school principal, to provide an update the Board of Education on the summer program for at-risk students. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Shaffer noted that fifty (50) of the ninety (90) students invited from grades 6, 7 and 8 participated. He outlined a Power Point presentation on details of the reading, writing and math programs offered and reviewed results of student achievement.(copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting) | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. Lyke asked why some students would decline to participate in the program. Mr. Shaffer cited family vacations, split-family visitations and a perception among some about summer programs as the major reasons. He added that the success among students has created a positive image in the program and helped increase interest and participation in the past two (2) years. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Johnson noted the excellent progress and results in the program and commended Mr. Shaffer and staff members involved on their efforts to create and expand it. | |||||||||||||||||||
| D. | DISCUSSION ON POTENTIAL CAPITAL FACILITIES PROJECTS | |
| Mr. Havens stated that trustees reached tentative agreement at the August 16th meeting to seek additional information on the following options: | |||||||||||||||||||
| Ø replace Ontario Elementary School with new space adjacent to Ontario Primary School | |||
| Ø plan for potential incorporation of Freewill Elementary School at that site |
| He asked if trustees wished to proceed with detailed review and cost estimates of these options. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Wyse stated that he has participated in the capital improvement efforts since the initial discussions and supports compilation of additional information on the two options noted above. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Griswold stated he concurs with seeking additional information on these two options. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Havens shared information on two proposed timelines for review and decisions on final proposals for presentation to district voters. If a referendum was presented and approved in March, 2008, completion would occur in fall, 2011. A referendum in October, 2008, would allow completion by fall of 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Triou asked when the referendum occurred for the 2002 Capital Improvement Project; Mr. Havens stated in the fall of 2002. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Johnson stated he does not believe there is sufficient time to prepare complete information for consideration by voters in March, 2008. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. Lyke concurred, noting that there are numerous items for consideration by the Board of Education for a proposed capital project to provide “state-of-the art” and energy-efficient facilities for consideration by voters. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Johnson stated he is in favor of a strong informational campaign for the community as part of any referendum on proposed capital improvements. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. Lyke stated that each trustee must have full knowledge and understanding of all options and details of a proposed capital project before presentation to the public. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Wyse believes that a fall, 2012 date is the earliest for occupancy of any new space no matter whether a spring or fall referendum occurs based on potential construction or supply delays. He added that he does not favor rushing a project to meet an early completion date. | |||||||||||||||||||
| By consensus, trustees agreed to pursue the two (2) options outlined above with presentation of detailed information to trustees by school officials by January, 2008 and a potential referendum date of fall, 2008. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. Lyke asked if there was agreement among trustees to “go green” to achieve energy conservation in any potential capital project. The consensus among trustees was yes. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Nicholson noted that consideration of energy saving efforts should occur in the planning and design phases of a proposed capital project and those efforts could occur as long as they make good financial sense. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Havens asked Mr. Robusto to share discussions he had with a resident whose first child entered Ontario Elementary School this fall. Mr. Robusto relayed the comments by the resident, who is a teacher in a neighboring school district, about the need to replace the older facilities at Ontario Elementary School as part of any potential capital projects. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Mr. Triou asked if the state aid ratio for new construction remains the same; Mr. Atseff and Mr. Havens noted that the ratio is a ten-year average and is now appx. 77.8% for our district. | |||||||||||||||||||
| E. | UPCOMING EVENTS | |
