001I saw it. Good evening. >> Ready to roll? >> Okay. Thank you, man. >> Yep. Uh we're live on uh we're streaming on YouTube and the phone lines are open. The meeting is being recorded. You may begin. >> Thank Thank you. Motion to open. second watch the agenda. >> Okay, we're open. >> So, everybody, please rise to the pledge. >> I try to pledge it. >> I pledge to the flag of the United States of America and to the for one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you very much. and turn it over to you. >> Yeah. How you turn the scene and you're going off. [laughter] >> All right. So, this is our first of our three budget uh budget meetings to go over uh our various budgets. Uh
002today is the superintendent board uh budget, the assistant superintendent uh Tim Prom from the curriculum and instruction and uh Sam Schneider, assistant superintendent for business. So, I'll just go over mine, which is a pretty small code, but generally speaking, the uh the budget again, of course, is is tight. Uh we we intend to be under the 2% tax cap. Uh I think that was very clear in what we've been talking about uh over our meetings as administrators. Uh for me, our my budget has gone down 15 uh.393% from last year. Uh we looked at we cut material some material supplies. We cut uh so board some of our board trainings uh numbers down. In addition um we took uh some a little bit off of each of our our codes. Uh uh as you may
003or may not know uh I just had a a newspaper reached out there there was this whole thing and we kind of talked about it about the board of elections and voting machines and purchasing of voting machines. Uh Julie has investigated this. Um I can't even imagine how many hours we've gone back and forth, but East Hampton has decided to we're doing paper ballots and we are going to count them. Our staff handled them during CO. Uh so we will not be renting or purchasing machines. It was an added expense. I was not willing to um you know commit the district's money to that. In fact, a lot of it was unknown. Uh despite a lot of efforts from the uh Suffach County Superintendent Association to lower those expenses down, there are still a lot
004of unknowns of maintenance uh paying these companies to come. Now we just found out where you have to store the machines if you it's not worth it. We did it during co we counted I believe we had about 1,500 uh I think it was about 1,500 uh ballots and we hit it. >> Um you know so I think Julie can handle it. She she told me she can handle it. and I did not call us there to say that. Um, so, uh, we cut some of that out. Again, we feel it's the best way to go. Uh, Julie's got our staff. She's ready to go. So, uh, that's where I say, again, generally speaking, I'm, uh, my budget's down 15 15%, although it's not a massive budget, obviously, but it is it is down significantly
005for for our offices. Great. >> Thank you. and you doubt more competition. >> Yeah, I mean I think everyone has a copy of I think u my codes I have different numerous codes that Adam doesn't have to >> do. So, um, percentage wise, I'm down 1 million%. No. [laughter] Um, it's hard to really just put a total number without adding all the quotes up separately. But, uh, uh, last year's equipment, um, you know, we were looking at piloting some, uh, Apple products. So, Sniper, but it was, you know, much more last year and, uh, so far that pilot has gone fairly well. Uh, we work with 50, you know, or so advanced research kids to see how those things work, >> uh, you know, for their needs in different classes. It's created a little buzz.
006it's going to be more secure for our kids. Um, so that budget has gone down. We were able to with uh these obviously dropped that budget, but also secure a lot of these devices through some repair reserves, replacing broken uh other devices like the Chromebooks and the like. So there's a big savings from budget to budget there. Um, also had some really fruitful partnerships with PCA teacher center. So some PD that we were looking to do um you know help those you know our directors um we found some really wonderful uh sources to uh enhance what our teachers are doing. The PTC was really excited with that. So they actually took that on. So you know credit for our to our directors for finding great people and that the PTC took on. So therefore it
007was a budget savings for us because they actually took took uh you know the cost there. So you'll see another 50,000 or so savings there. you know, 150,000 in equipment budgets. Uh some of our fixed costs, we really can only predict when we get them. Some of our voses, cross contracts, uh you know, we do expect that to go down, you know, sub substantially. Um some of those savings from the PTC this year, we used to offset some of the anticipated textbook monies next year. So, you know, across the board, we're probably looking about, you know, 3 to 400,000, you know, today, you know, without cuts. Um and and I'm pleased to say that it's not uh anything that I fear is going to hurt what our kids are doing. I actually think it uh
008goes back to you know the building budgeting wisely, us having a little bit of wiggle room here and then working on partnerships to really kind of offset that both the repair reserve as well as um you know the shared services with other agencies. So glad to ask answer any questions you have. Um but um no well done the director finding great people to work with. So our staff are getting those those programs like even some PD that's going on has worked out nicely. So >> that's thank you. Yeah, I mean we've gone over this and over and over and every year it's like not going to go away. So >> the shared partnerships has really worked out really nice and uh >> credit to you know the repair reserve for kind of allowing us some
009wiggle room in advance >> that that helps >> you know so we're not really chasing it when we need it. We're able to think do we want it? >> How do we do it? Right. >> Right. >> Thank you. >> All right. Uh so you can see the business office and related areas. We're down about $105,000 and what we're asking for. Uh we were able to pick up some savings by having a pretty significant reduction in our costs for compliance with the Affordable Care Act paperwork, which is a heavy was a heavy sum. Now it's still a heavy sum, but it's less of a heavy sum. uh one of the driving factors of whatever cost increases individually are in the budget is the fact that the Bosey's administrative charges which we have no control over
010whether we select all the Boseies services or none of the Boseies services we still have this non-negotiable u fee that has to be paid to Boseies is going up 2.75%. Now our property tax cap allows us to increase the budget uh increase the levy by 2.22%. So you can see the problem right there. Uh but so that is you'll see it's on the last page of the business office section. We can see that that Bosey's uh administrative charges are are a hefty portion of what my office is budgeting for. >> And to be noted they go above the 2% cap every year. >> As a matter of Yes. >> Yeah. Um >> I think they put you know I'm on one of their committees that examine their uh their budget. Uh and one of the
011things that they they talk about and this is this is the one thing they talk about that's actually makes sense is some of their vendors that they send out to us the vendors their vendors are raising their rate 6 to 7%. So they're getting hit thus we get hit um that is the one part of their um budget that is really out of their control. Um but you know look Sam for years we we talk we go back with Boseies and we've the superintendents have also said you know you got to kind of try to keep pace with us meaning slow down a little bit with their increases. Um >> um so I just also wanted to point out to you that what uh on the revenue side of things we uh have there is
012if you look just strictly in the paper and the state aid runs you'd say oh there's a large you know large increase in state aid that is entirely driven by an increase in the UPK grant that we're entitled to next year. Um, so that was able to help us back out some of the personnel costs in our UPK line, but other than that, our state aid, you know, we got the standard 1% that the governor is recommending. Later on, there's an item in the agenda [clears throat] to have annually ask you to adopt the calculation for the property tax cap. It's section 8 of the budget, sorry, of the agenda. So, that's a bit of a moving target because we're still waiting obviously for the legislature to enact a final budget. So that calculation that
013you see is being done through the governor's budget. I don't anticipate that we're going to see an ontime budget this year from the legislature. We haven't the last few years. This is an election year which makes it the hoopla more than normal. Uh so you know I'm going with the governor's budget until we get something solid by the legislature. So you So the governor's proposing increase in our UPK money is great. we're able to offset some of the personnel costs. And the other function that I just want to briefly touch on because I think it deserves uh some public airing is our shared services. We we're bringing in multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with shared services by partnering with other area school districts so that they can accomplish what they need. we
014can uh you know provide expertise and services through our personnel that you have uh so wisely hired and we're able to benefit the taxpayers of both districts and that is a huge driving force on the revenue side of the budget which we were focusing tonight but I felt was worthy to mention >> good mention it's been a goal for a long time and we're starting to get some steam on that for sure >> more than starting it's been going for a while but picking up very well so all Are there any questions on >> No. I have a motion to close the budget portion of the meeting. >> Make a motion. Second. Second. >> All in favor? >> Any opposed? >> We have to have we have to open. >> All right. So, we'll go
015right into the regular board meeting. >> Get my bearings squared away here. >> Where am I? presentation. >> Okay, perfect. >> Yep. So, uh we're doing uh two presentations today. Uh it's it's funny. We didn't plan it this way. It just came together this way. Um but uh we're going to have Stephanie Dubois Rivera, our director of ENL, do a little presentation on the seal of biiteracy. And then right after her, Sarah Smith will come and introduce the ENL college readiness program. >> Uh yeah. So, good evening. Good evening everyone. Um I'm really excited to uh present this opportunity for our students uh for the first time in our district's history at least. Uh the seal of biiteracy is a uh nationally recognized distinction that uh students can earn on their diplomas um if they
016can prove that they are bilingual and biiterate in one or more languages. Um excuse me in two or more languages. It's the [clears throat] bilingual part. Um so uh you know this is something that given the population that we have here and just the uh curriculum that we've provided at the high school is very attainable for many of our students. Um you know and and earning the seal is something that will help them when they're applying to colleges scholarships um and future employers. Right now um less than 5% of the students that graduate in New York State graduate with the SEAL. So if they are able to earn it, it really is something that is going to make them stand out. Um and it is open to any students uh that attend our school. So
017um you know in a few years when the dual language program kind of makes its way up to the high school or those students make their way up to the high school, they will be prime candidates um for this. But currently we still have a a large number of students that are in a good position to earn it. Um, and I apologize that that scoring matrix on the left is tiny and honestly a little intimidating to look at the first few times. Uh, when you start to look at it as much as I have, then it it becomes a little bit clearer. But basically to earn the seal, um, students as a kind of fundamental need to earn all the requirements for uh, earning a breaches diploma. Um, beyond that they have to complete or
018earn three points on the left side which is the uh possible ways to earn a point in uh English and then three points on the world language side. It could look different for each student which is kind of the the beauty of this um of the seal because you know one way you can earn a point in English for example is to get an 80 on the regents. You didn't have a good day on the English regions that's okay. you can still earn it by getting an 85 average in your 11th and 12th grade ELA classes or by getting a three or higher on the AP exam. So, there's just different opportunities for students to earn the seal um and the points required. So, it is three points on the English side, three points on
019the world language side. Now, um the interesting part of this is that yes, our students in the upper level world language classes will be well suited for this. However, technically you don't have to be in a world language class to do this. So, if you speak another language at home as your first language, >> you might want to try for this. It might be something that you it should be available to you. >> Um the bottom criteria that you you should be able to see there if you could um read Ant Font [laughter] uh is a culminating project. It's not mandatory because if you get your three points other ways, you don't necessarily have to do the project. But um the way that most of our language classes are designed and our ELA classes are
020designed, uh that project's already included. So for our students who are taking, you know, the Sunni Old Westberry classes, the AP Spanish lit or language classes, they're already doing these requirements. So it it should be very attainable for them. Um we really try to make it as um intuitive. I don't want to say easy because none of this is easy. This is hard work, but it, you know, but practical for our students and not adding on additional uh projects or work >> to a junior senior who's they're already bogged down with a lot of work and we had it already set up. So, um that's kind of uh how they would earn it. Um where we kind of stand now. Um the state does require us that if we're offering seal by literacy, we need
021to have a seal of bi literacy committee. So, we have formed one. Um it's made up of myself and >> uh two world language teachers. Um, Miss Kadenos, who's our one of our lovely guidance counselors, is uh on the committee as well, as well as an ENL teacher and an ELA teacher. Um, so I have to say this group has been just phenomenal in in doing parent presentations and talking to students and guiding them through this. Um, so I'm I'm super grateful for all their hard work on this. Um, we have met with all of the upper level Spanish and French classes as well as any other students that have, you know, said that they're interested. Um, we've had a parent meeting back on January 8th. Um, currently, and actually the number that is up
022there is, as of an hour ago, incorrect. Uh, we are now up to 55 students that um have expressed an interest and are actively working towards earning the seal. Not to say that all 55 will earn it, but honestly looking at the criteria and what these students have, a large number of them I expect will. I really do agree. >> Um and then just moving forward, we hope to be meeting with the um HLA classes and and uh Spanish and French classes with the sophomores in it so that they can plan ahead. Um because really what's going to help is if they stick with their language courses. So if this is something they want to do, talking about it now is the smart way to kind of plan into that. Terrific. >> Awesome. Great job.
023>> How did this how did it all come about? >> Are there others are there other schools on Long Island? So, so the the seal of biliteracy was um kind of started around 2016. Um and it it was in a very different form. There's different criteria. Um and uh it was kind of brought to us uh last year um by our local arbor and just said, "Hey, you know, you guys this look like a district that could offer this and good." Um and so, you know, we started looking at it. Adam and I discussed it with Tim and we were like, "Yeah, this is actually something that looks attainable for us to offer." Um so it has been around for a little bit. You know, there's definitely some of our neighboring schools. also know that
024Southampton and Hampton Bay um have offered it from a a number of years. Um I've been working with them very closely too to see kind of how they organize things and uh you know how they run it there. Um so it's it's definitely something that >> has been around but we're on board for our students. >> There's a when we were talking about it I mean Stephanie said you know a couple years ago there was a lot of different components to it. kind of evolved and I think it's a natural progression for where some of our our dual language can be. Let's say >> interestingly still is I think in the current sense with you know some 50 plus eligible students right now there'll be some ENL students that will maybe get a different kind
025of acknowledgement of what they you know accomplish academically but you do have you know kids taking advanced Spanish right now from non Spanish speaking households who are taking in those classes westberry with AP they're doing these projects just because they did in the class doesn't mean they're just going to be awarded it so they're still going to have to go through a hoop you they're going to do an application and it's not going to be backbreaking work, but it's going to be an acknowledgement of what they've done because some people do say after 3 years or foreign language I'm out or four years I'm out. So, this is going to be >> it might keep some in too. Maybe for that reason it'll keep some in. >> Yeah. And again, it's going to benefit them
026long term. It's going to benefit them in the community, you know, and bring a lot of the kids from different, you know, backgrounds to a similar kind of acknowledged, you know, academic stand. So, it's a great program >> to not a ton of extra. It's organization. It's organiz It's not a gift but but it's attainable like an application to like a scholarship in the life. >> Amazing. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> Stars of the show. >> Uh good evening everyone. Uh lovely to see you all and I could not be more proud uh to present our ENL college readiness program to you tonight. This program was the idea of guidance counselor Sandre Canteros. And to give you a bit of context, when Sandre joined us last year, she noticed a significant gap
027in the college readiness of our ENL students. And more importantly, uh, she not only came to me noticing this and with this information, but she came to me with an idea and a plan to address it. And that's when we proposed, she proposed the afterchool ENL college readiness program that you will hear about tonight. Um, and so we are also incredibly grateful to guidance counselor, firstear guidance counselor Rudy Vasquez, who has jumped right in and help Sandre with the program and help support our students. Um, and also very grateful to uh, Stephanie and the ENL department for uh, funding the program through grant monies. So I am proud to turn it over to Miss Canteras, Mr. Vasquez, and our students. >> Hey. Hi everyone. >> Hello. see some of you again. >> All right. So,
028I'm going to read it just because I translated it for our parents so that they can read it later on at home and they know what I'm saying. Okay. But, uh, a lot of what you already mentioned. So, yeah, last year when I started, when I, you know, started meeting with my seniors, I realized that many of my ENL students were several steps behind in terms of the college application process. I started uh making a list of what they did not yet have compared to my general ed students because I have um some general students in my case load. Uh this included some things like didn't have a resume when my gened students were coming in with beautiful résumés. Uh they didn't have a college list. Even though they knew about their Navian account, they
029didn't really know how to navigate it just because it takes a lot of one-on-one type of help. And so I started creating a list and then um they also needed to understand like the difference between public and private school and uh what's a two-year degree compared to a four-year degree and one senior meeting was not enough for me to like go over that you know you get 40 minutes in that meeting and then yeah we have time you know time available to help them after that. Uh but I noticed that they were not coming to the after school, the help that we had during like periods 1 and 9 one because I felt that they were feeling a little intimidating coming in when all the other kids already know already knew what to ask. Um
030so I'm even though I'm like come on guys, we have help but they weren't showing up as much. Uh so then um because of this I began staying after school with small little groups of of students one or two days a week and then in the springtime is when I approached Sarah with the proposal and my list of gaps that I was noticing and discuss ways how we could close those gaps. Uh Sarah of course said yes of course we can see how we can make this work. [clears throat] >> Um you know if our students need it we will find a way to make it happen. And I also shared this idea with Stephanie Dua, our ENL directors, you guys. Oh, and the same. She was like, "Yes, let's figure this out." And I'm
031sure they brought this up to someone over here. You guys were uh you know, on board. And so today, Mr. Vasquez and I are proud to have our first little group of students. Um and now that we've been having the you know, junior meetings, we've we're getting a lot of more juniors coming in. So, I'm hoping that, you know, more kids are going to be prepared next year. >> And so, today we have a group of some of our students that are going to tell you their experience about it. >> Wonderful. >> All right. Thank you. >> Are they seniors? You are these seniors or juniors or >> we have a junior and two seniors. >> Wonderful. >> So, they wrote in English. So, I'm like you're nervous, but I'm like don't be nervous. Um,
032hi my name is Patricia Coyago. I'm a junior this year who is attending the ENL college and career. I'm the first generation in my family who wants to go to college after high school. And my family doesn't know much about the college application process. So they cannot help me with it. This program has been preparing me and provide me with information that I will need next year to start to apply to college. As a junior, I am working on my resume and my college essay already. I am also learning how to use Navian to do research. I am preparing. So now I'm ready for my senior year. I'm grateful for this program and I hope that it will continue to help more students like me who need more guidance and with the college process. Thank
033you for your time. >> Good evening. My name is Jamie Martinez and I'm a senior in high school. U the college readiness program helped me a lot this year with my college applications. When I had my senior meeting with my counselor, I felt very over overwhelmed and worried because I had so many things to do. I felt like I was not going to get everything done. Many of my classmate had already complete several items under to do this over the summer with help from their parents or friends and I was behind. My mom cannot help me because she does not understand the college process here and because of the language barrier. I felt I had to figure this out on my own. Miss Kintteros noticed that I was worried and she remind me that I
034could come see her on Wednesday for college help for a full hour and that I could do this. At that time, I was still unsure that everything would get done. I went home and got started by creating my common application account. Then on the first Wednesday after my senior meeting, I stayed at her school for help. During that time, I create a list of college and learn how to add them to my common application with the help with Mr. Baskin and Miss Kintof. They show me how to research colleges using Navian and college websites to make sure the school offered the program I want to study and I met the requirements before adding them to my list. After that, I went home and added more colleges on my own. After the first meeting, I felt
035much better because I could see that everything on the senior to-do list could be done as long as I keep coming for help on Wednesday at first school. There were also general college help at first school for 20 minutes in the guidance conference room, but it was often crowded and many students that already knew exactly what questions to ask. Because of this, the ENO support felt more comfortable for me since they understood where I was coming from and my questions. I hope the other ENO students in 9, 10, and 11th grade begin coming for help on Wednesday so they do not feel as overwhelmed during their senior year. I am very grateful for this program and I hope it continues. Thank you. Hello, my name is Valeria Spendon and I am a senior. I want
036to tell you how the ENL college program helped me this year. [clears throat] When the school year started, I noticed that all my classmates were talking about the college they're going to apply to. They already have a list of colleges and talk about the common application and their college essays. I started to panic because I didn't have any of that. I realized I was very behind and lost in the college process. I heard them talk about how their families were helping them, but I didn't have that help. My mom didn't go to school here, so she didn't know how to help me. It was not because she didn't want to help, but because the language bar when my counselor told me about the ENL's readiness program during the senior year, I felt better. I finally
037have a chance to work on my college list and my college essay with someone helping me. The first time I attended I said with Missos who helped me fix my college essay and I have many ideas write it down but I didn't know how to organize or improve them. I continued to attend the program after schools on Wednesday whenever I could. With this help I applied to 11 colleges I have been accepted to a blank. I hope this promise continue to help other ENL students like me in the future. Thank you. >> Great job. That's all. >> That's the question I have. Where are you guys going? Do you know yet? >> Yeah. >> You know, not yet. Not sure yet. >> I want to go to um Brook or Long Island. >> Good. That's
038awesome. Good job. >> Thank you. >> Very proud. >> Yes. Thank you. >> Sarah, are you going to do nudes of the school? >> Yeah. >> Um, that was our question. [laughter] >> Sir, could you give us a little bit of an explanation about Baku? I saw a video. I can't believe that. >> Yes. So, that's >> What is it? And man, how long has it been going? >> Sure. Sure. Absolutely. So, >> no, that's [clears throat] >> Have you seen the video? >> Yeah. Great. >> Yeah, it was awesome. So, that um that was the work of our new uh PR uh guy, Tino Patino, helped with Instagram and uh put together our Bonic Brew segment. That's our life skills students and teachers who have been doing that for two years now. and they
039sell in the morning uh bagels, coffee. It's a great way for our culinary program to bring in >> the the scones that are a huge hit, fan favorite as you saw on the thing. So, um that's the the short story there, but it's a wonderful program and a way for um our students to um work on their individual goals on >> what happened Sarah when we run out of bagels and when everyone got the bagel they find how we deal with those um you know that is all part of the customer service world that's a learning experience in itself but it truly and it has become the heartbeat of the school in the morning and brings out the best in both our general ed students and um our life skill students. So >> they make
040homemade scum. >> Our culinary hospitality club makes go >> sometimes with their our life skill students if they can but sometimes on their own as a club but that collaboration is really special. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Great. Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you guys. >> You guys you guys can go if you'd like. I thank you for your time. go work on some more college applications and uh keep up the good work for sure. >> And you would think after all these years NV still have nightmares over Nvian. >> Just so you know, Dr. Soraniano couldn't be here, but his report is mad heart dance off Friday. [laughter] >> Go see, >> right? So great. >> Thank you. >> Oh my god. >> So, good evening everyone. >> February feels like such a short month,
041but we have so much going on at John Marshall. This month, we are celebrating Black History Month through various projects, both grade level and classroom projects. you know, in the younger grades, it involves a lot of art and um certainly doing readalouds with our students and in the older grades really studying important figures in um black history. Our classrooms will all be displaying their projects in the hallway throughout the month. So, if you're in the building, please take a walk through. Um we will also be celebrating uh PS I Love You Day. >> Um and this year's theme is beacon of uh be a beacon of light to others. And so we have a giant lighthouse that's going to be put up and each classroom is going to have a um um array of light
042for students to write how they will be a beacon of light for others. Our uh fifth graders are going to chalk the walk to start off the week on Monday. We have a photo booth set up in the cafeteria. So lots of activities um starting next Monday to um celebrate PS. I love you day. Um and thank you to Coach Santa. Jess is coming down with a number of sources of strength students from the high school to work with our fifth graders next Friday. So, it's nice to have that collaboration. >> So, that's on Monday and then they wear purple. >> Yes, Friday they're wearing purple. Um we encourage students and staff to wear purple on Friday. >> On Friday. >> Yes. >> This Friday. >> Uh next Friday. >> Next Friday. And then I
043also want to thank Stephanie Dubois Laa and the registration office. Uh this Thursday the 5th in the John Marshall Library we're having our second annual prek and kindergarten registration night. So this is the second year where we're inviting families to come in at a specific time to register their students. It's open to all families who um are considering coming to East Hampton as prekers and kindergarteners for the 26th 27th school year. We really did have a great turnout last year. Um there will be folks there to help translate for families to help fill out the paperwork as well as some of our um health department staff. There will be nurses there if families have questions about their child's medical um history or questions about how we handle certain things in the building like allergies. So
044there'll be a lot of resources there as well, not just filling out uh the registration packets. And that's this Thursday from 4 to 6:30 um in the library at John Marshall. >> Thank you. >> So we got public uh comment public comments. Does anybody >> public have a comment? We don't have a whole lot of audience. >> Uh LTV, do you have anybody on the phone line? >> No, we have no callers on the line. >> You can make someone up at some point. Uh, >> you know, >> uh, go to the consent agenda. Can I have a motion to accept the consent agend? >> All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Superintendent's report and recommendation. U, let's see. Recommended the board approve the student field trip for the 2025 26 school year. Can
045I have a motion? >> Make a motion. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> First robotics. So for I think that's our first competition sustra. >> Great. >> All in favor? >> Any opposed? >> Number two, recommend the board accept with gratitude the following donations.
