provided the board with an overview of the progress made this year by
the Special Education Leadership Team. Workshops held with K-12
special education teachers and related service providers focused on
identifying the ideal program for special needs students and where
improvements could be made in the current program.
These “gaps”
were prioritized, goals were set and building level action plans were
created. They were happy to report that twenty items on the gap list
were achieved. The department has much more collaboration and
communication between buildings. They are looking forward to utilizing
the co-teaching model extensively in the next school year.
SEI DESIGN GROUP
Victor Tomaselli and Kevin Clark from SEI Design Group provided the
board with an overview of all steps necessary to bring a bond
referendum to the public for vote.
The Buildings & Grounds Committee of the board and other district
personnel met with SEI to discuss all priority one items from the
building condition surveys for all school buildings. Costs are being
tabulated in order to get a scope of the funds of needed for these
building repairs.
Before the board decides on the option of renovating the Leavenworth
building, or, move the middle school to the Florentine building, Mr.
Tomaselli and members of the Buildings & Grounds Committee will go to
Albany to discuss the idea with SED. Further information and data will
be provided to the board following this discussion. If the response from
SED is favorable, then the board will have a final discussion and decide
which option they favor. If SED cannot support either proposal then the
next capital project would include priority one repairs only.
