001To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay, please note the exits in the room. Smoking is not permitted on school rounds and please mute or turn off your cell phones. Um, first up we have Mr. Chuck Law. uh trap club update. >> First, thanks. Um so I guess thanks first for having me. Um I just wanted to three years ago you guys approved trap club for the district. So I just thought this would be good time to come in and give an update. We're having a great season. Um and I just wanted to make sure you guys knew what we were up to. Um I'm not going to get into what the program is.
002If there's any questions afterwards um about the program, let me know. I'm just going to kind of let you know where we're at. So, we're 24. Um, when we started this thing, we had 12 students sign up. Um, last year we had 10. I'm happy to report this year we've got 27 kids in the program. Um, and I think 12 or 14 of those are middle schoolers. So, we've got if if the kids hadn't graduated or aged out, they're returning. So, we've got a 99% return rate. Um, so great development. We've also got new shooters coming up who need to develop in those shooters. So, we've kind of split it into two programs. We've got development spot and a skill spot. So, we're very happy about the the turnout with the kids. Um our programs
003around three priorities uh in this order. Um safety first, uh fun second, and marksmanship third. So, one and two are our focus and breaking targets is what we get if we stay safe and have fun. Um, in safety, training and firearm handling remain the foundation of everything we do daily. Um, we get a lot of compliments on how safe our kids are at gun club, from parents, um, and from just people that are watching, um, how well the kids handle their firearms, how safe they are. Um, so that's something we're very proud of. Um, what we've noticed is our team is building confidence in kids. Um, this is a program that's good for kids who may not otherwise participate in athletics or other um, sports or programs. Um, the trap league prides itself on being
004all inclusive. Uh, no benchwmers, everybody shoots um, and everybody gets to have fun. Uh we're also seeing as our kids are coming back a lot of mentoring going on and a lot of leadership with the new kids coming in and the kids that have been there for two or three years taking those kids under their wing being mentors being leaders. Um community partnership has been crazy. Um the amount of support that we have not just from fundraising through the kids through raffles and things like that but corporate fundraising. We're sending letters every year. It's expensive to buy targets and shells for this sport. So, we're trying to take that burden and not let that be a barrier to kids joining the team. We've been able the last two years to cover all ammo um through
005fundraising, whether it's corporate or key fundraising. Um and we're shooting at the Clifton Park Sportsman Club right now and they're buying our targets for us. They are happy to have us. Their quote is we're happy to see anybody under the age of 60 over here shooting track. So, they are all about it. They've got three beautiful trap fields over there for us, which is good because we were shooting at Fish Creek. They've got one trap field with 27 kids. We would have we would have struggled. So, luckily, but the park stepped up. They're hosting us now and they've offered to pay for our targets. They also let us come in and open trap on Tuesdays for practice. So, it's another thing we've been able to do is do some structured practices to keep developing board
006with kids. We're not just showing up for leap shoot competition, but we do have a practice, which is somewhat new to us this year. Uh, and the parent involvement and volunteer support has been crazy. So, with that many kids, I only had two helpers last year. I had two other people, two other parents step up this year full-time to help. So, there's five of us now helping with the team, which is a huge help. Um, highlights and success. It's still got large rostering program, so we're happy about that. Um, team participation in our tournaments has been really high. So when we get done with our regular season, we do a local tournament at Hudson Falls. Um that's 22 25 local schools that go to Hudson Falls on Sunday and shoot trap for prizes and medals
007against um other local schools. I think this is their fifth or sixth year doing it and it's becoming a bit of a bragging right situation locally to be able to take some hardware home from the Queen's Challenge and our our participation in that has been almost at 100%. And then after that one, the week after we go to Cicero, Bridgeport, New York, and do the New York State High School um trap shooting tournament. That's a three-day 2200 kids, 275 schools. I think it's the largest shooting sports tournament on Eastern Seaborg. Um that's something to behold. Because we're so big this year, we'll be shooting on Sunday with a lot of large schools. So, our competition has stiffened up, but that's just going to make us better. um on fundraising support. I wanted to mention last
008year we had a ninth grader that shot for us and because of track um he was made aware of a program that the NRA offered called the youth education summit. Um it's in DC. It's a week long education summit where students win a lot and they buy for up to $40,000 worth of scholarships. So Sheamus Brown Elvis, he applied, he got accepted an essay. It's very hard to get into. he got to do it. He was able to spend a week in DC um with the RI education summit. Without trap, I don't think he knows if that program is around. Um we give a scholarship out every year to our seniors. Um so far we've only had one senior a year, so it's been pretty easy to pick who the scholarships go to. Uh we've
009been giving out $1,000. I think we might be able to up that to $2,000 this year based on our fundraising support. Um and we've decided to name that scholarship the Kenneth J. Ever scrap shooting scholarship. So I don't know if anybody knows Jeff Evers knew Jeff Evers. He lives he used to live across the street. He was a huge advocate for our neighbor. He was a huge advocate for our program. He helped build the trap club at the Fish Creek to host the kids. Um and he he passed away untimely a few years ago. So we as a group of the trap club thought it was a great thing to name the our scholarship after Kenny. He was a huge part in what we did. So we're going to do that moving forward. And really
010the last thing I have to say is just thank you. Um, thank you for giving us a chance. It was it was a grind to get the program started. I really could not say thank you. It's a personal passion of mine using these sports and and getting kids in the outdoors and getting them trained around firearms and understanding. So, personally, it means a ton to me, but I know it means a ton to these kids. Um, we're having a great time. Um, and lastly, I'll just close with we're not proud of the targets. We're not just covering the targets of our athletes spring break, but the confidence, responsibility, and character building along the way. So, yeah, with that, I'll open it up to any questions if anybody has any and just say thanks again for
011the time and the support. >> How long How long have I seen you here at the start? >> We start practicing in like February. Our season actually starts in and that's kind of like you can come if you want. We'll be there. Our season starts in April. It runs eight weeks plus tournaments. So, it's about a 10e program. And then last year, for the first time, I forgot to add that. The league that we used that we signed off to USA target, they offered a fall season, too, a fall league that we can join. So, I put it out to the kids and the parents. Does anybody want to shoot fall track? And everybody said yes. Like, hands down, let's do it. So, we participated in the fall league last year that doesn't have a
012tournament. It's a truncated fiveweek league. Um, but we had some kids take home some hardware. um placing first in their division. We also brought hardware home, trophies home from states last year. Um I had a novice shooter who started out shooting three or four targets. By the time he got to states, he was breaking 20 and he won first place in the novice division. Um seventh grader, so he's super proud. Um I think we even have a trophy in the trophy. So we're going to try to add that this year. So, I would just like to make a quick comment. As a parent of a first year trap member, uh, it's been incredible to watch the other coaches. Thank you for all the time you put into it. Uh, I see you're answering emails and
013questions at 10, 11, 12:00 at night on game changer. Uh, coaches do a great job with safety and technical training, man, balancing all that and doing it all simultaneously. And, uh, a thank you to the sportsman's club. That's a nice facility over there. They're very uh accommodating to us and uh side note they make a nice breakfast sandwich on the early season cold mornings. >> Do you provide the guns and stuff or do the students do? >> Um so generally the students do but we again we try to break down any barriers that allow student. We do have loaners and um we've had a lot of first time shooters join that have no clue and now they're gun owners. Um so yeah, we let them loan and we actually recommend that you don't go out
014and just buy something. Let's try out a few of ours and see what fits and get a feel for it before you go spend $500 $600 on a shotgun. Um, but you know, no kids, they want their own gear. So eventually buy, but we do offer. >> The great thing about that is that they, you know, George, for example, got to try pump versus great and 12 versus 20. And uh, yeah. >> So, you know, you can whittle that decision down with some experience and trial and error. Yeah, we've got enough information now what works for these kids that we can recommend the shotguns to the parents too. So, >> thank you for all the hard work that you've done get started and and working with our students. >> Thank you guys. >> Nice job.
015>> Okay, next is we have the STA update. Yeah, I'm I'm gonna capture you speaking and I'm switch camera. >> Oh, yes, please. Yes, for sure. So, I'm gonna talk this way. So, um, good evening. I am pleased to share an update highlighting the incredible work of our teachers and the meaningful learning experiences happening across our district. Our staff continue to create engaging, creative, and supportive environments where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally across all grade levels. We've seen a wide range of enriching opportunities for students. Well, our kindergarten students are beginning an exciting three-week journey exploring the chick life cycle through an incubation and embryology project in collaboration with Mrs. McMullen and the agricultural program. Mrs. McMullen introduced the process through a readaloud and discussion. Each class received a set of interactive eggs
016that show daily development stages and provide facts about what is happening inside. The hands-on experience is helping bring science to life while also fostering connections between older and younger students. And here's actually a picture of those incubators. Can I try this thing? >> Yeah, try it. Put the camera switch. >> Here we go. So, yes. So, each kindergarten classroom has one of these to kind of check all the stages. In first grade, students are preparing for their annual art show where Miss Barnett's class participated participated in a unique project. They were virtual lesson with a professional rhinestone artist who happens to be her sister. Students selected a marine life animal such as a jellyfish, starfish, or sea turtle, then drew, colored, and added decorative elements using a beginner friendly rhinestone technique. Students were highly engaged
017throughout the process and are excited to showcase their work at the art show at the end of May. So, those were sea turtle and jellyfish from the first grade students in Miss Garnett's class. Our fourth grade teachers went above and beyond to support their students during the ELA state testing period by creating a positive and encouraging environment. Hallways were filled with motivational signs reminding students to stay confident, take their time, and believe in their abilities. These thoughtful messages helped ease testing anxiety and play an important role in helping students feel prepared, motivated, and ready to do their best. So those are some very signs that throughout the hallways on testing day for the fourth grade students. On March 27th, Mrs. O'Neal and the third, fourth, and fifth grade students were able to experience the program
018Wonder. This was the Spack Classical Kids Orchestra program for the school year. A string quartet from the Koga Arts Collective came to perform for the students. The students were able to see the instruments up close and hear many pieces of classical music. They are now able to receive two free amphitheater tickets to the opening night performance of the Philadelphia Orchestra at SPACK on Wednesday, August 5th. If students sign up for the free tickets and attend the performance, they will receive a SPACK student lawn pass in the mail during the following school year. This pass will grant the student and accompany adult free lawn admission to ballet and orchestra performances at SPACK until the student's projected year of graduation from high school. This is a free program that the Stillwater Elementary has been participating in for
019at least eight years. The OT crew set up a sensory path in the elementary school to provide a mini movement break for students promoting their regulation for learning. There should be a picture of that path coming up in the elementary school for students. Our sixth graders recently celebrated their learning to our poetry palooa. After studying reading and writing a variety of poetry, students came together to share their original pieces. They listened thoughtfully to one another, identified poetic elements, and reflected on their own growth as writers. It was a meaningful opportunity to showcase creativity, build confidence, and appreciate the power of words. And so those are some pictures and then two pieces of work that they created themselves. A few months ago, eighth grade students in Mrs. Magcguire's class ended their 1920s unit with a 1920s
020dance party with feather boas and all. Students were encouraged to learn a dance fad from the 1920s and perform for the class or simply get up and dance for fun while trying a 1920s dance bag. So we have some pictures of what that looked like in class. was doing good for a minute. Yeah. Thank you. >> Sorry. Hopefully we'll have pictures and then there are there you go. So those are pictures and then the next slide is actually some videos of their performances. All right, folks. This was working earlier. Why I went to this, too. But so anyway, so there's two videos of their performances. I think they did a pretty good job. The high school hosted two events last week. One was a guest speaker named Steven Hill who spoke to our 9th and
02112th grade students about the dangers of substance use. Steven Hill is a nationally recognized speaker, author, recovery coach, and defense attorney who travels and speaks to students about his adolescence and experience with substance abuse. In addition, the ninth graders met with a panel of 12th or 10th grade students to talk about preparing for 10th grade, the importance of the high school transcript and regions exams. They also played a game of Stillwater team trivia to test their knowledge of graduation requirements. We have some amazing accomplishments by our students in Miss Convoy's advanced drawing and painting classes. Two students placed in the Win Place Show, the annual student art exhibition at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. On Friday, they went to visit the museum and see the 50 outstanding works of art from
022students across New York and beyond. In the first place with was runaway by 12th grade Ramsay's Jill Gilly and third place Freedom by 12th grader Ela Barnett. Other students featured were Anastasia Isgro, Brian Maynard, Grady Brookover, Riley Stack, and Kaden Berdo. They also had winners in the Talent Unlimited. The Talent Unlimited is a journal filled with selected artwork and poetry created by students in Saratoga County. Our El Barnett was selected for the cover of that journal this year and we will soon be receiving copies. We also had two other students get artwork selected. Tessa Miller and Brooke Cunningham. And the next picture will show her cover that she's showcasing. Beautiful. On Saturday, April 18th, we hosted 20 other schools for the 11th annual Rock and Relays track and field event. It was a huge success.
023The weather was good and the meet went smoothly. Hosting such a large meet is a great undertaking and frankly it would have been impo absolutely impossible without the help of our grounds crew and other countless volunteers. Coaches from other schools reportedly commented coach um the Clemens that they were jealous of the support he had in pulling this off rightfully so. And to quote coach when Stillwater sets its mind on something great things happen. This weekend was just another proof of that. He would also like to give a big thank you to Bruce Lillock and his whole crew, the modified and varsity coaching staff, Stephano Gazelli, and the many, many parents and students who came to volunteer. Special thanks to Mrs. McMullen for donating her time. He noted how truly grateful he is that Stillwater is
024a place filled with great people and that our district is ready to support when he dreams big. Events like this one put our school in the spotlight, and he can't thank everybody enough. The senior class trip to Disney was a huge success. Many students had their first time on a plane, first time traveling without their parents, first time making decisions for themselves, and more. The students demonstrated responsibility, cooperation, and positive behavior throughout. They enjoyed rides, fireworks, shows, great food, amazing rooms, and pools. It was a great learning experience for everyone, and we're so glad they had a great time. They landed at 12:04, pulling into school at 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, and our chapron made it to school just a few hour later to teach for that day. and in fact stayed the entire week.
025Here are some pictures of our Disney trip. Our music students in the Stillwater Rock Band performed last month at Putnham Place in Saratoga. Over 130 people attended and Mr. Fox is so proud of all the hard work that went into pulling off this show. This type of show incorporated a group of students who normally would not interact with one another and turned into an experience of a lifetime that I'm sure they will never forget. They will be performing this Friday for class day. And there is a video of it now. I don't know if we'll hear it, but I can send that one to you because it was an amazing performance. Thank you. >> Our very own Mrs. Carpenter has been named the Wishley Boseis School Library System School Librarian of the Year. This prestigious
026regional honor recognizes a certified school librarian who exemplifies the highest standards of service, leadership, and professional excellence within a member district. The award is given to an individual who demonstrates outstanding and inclusive service to students and staff, nurtures a love of reading and inquiry through creative programming, and actively integrates information literacy skills into curriculum throughout sorry through collaboration with teachers. It also recognizes ongoing commitment to reflection and improvement of literacy programs, participation in professional development, and strong leadership and advocacy for the pro to the profession. As discussed in previous presentations, we continue to prioritize building connections both within and between buildings. Across the district, we have silent mentoring where staff members are paired with students who have identified a need for additional trusted adult support. These staff members make a point to check in regularly,
027share meals, and engage in positive activities with students. In addition, older students serve as peer buddies to younger students, helping strengthen relationships across grade levels. Recently, middle school and high school students visited the elementary school to read um aloud to kindergarten students, followed by spring themed craft connected to the story. Overall, these highlights represent just a snapshot of the dedication, creativity, and care our teachers bring to their work every day. Their commitment continues to make a lasting impact on our students and our school community. We appreciate your continued support of these efforts and welcome you to visit our classrooms at any time to see these connections in action. It's always meaningful for us to share the learning and relationships across happening across our schools and we truly appreciate the opportunity to open our doors and
028highlight the work of our students and staff. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Good stuff. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you again to the STA for coming and presenting to us, telling us all the wonderful things they're doing. Okay. So, we're going to be moving on. Um, next item is public input on agenda items. I'm not going to read the whole thing because it doesn't look like there's anybody tonight. So, did you have anything to say, Pete? >> No. >> Anybody else here? >> No. Pretty empty tonight. Okay, moving on. Uh, we have the consent agenda. I need a motion to approve the consent agenda items inclusive of board minutes of and 42126 board of education meetings and CSCA recommendations. >> Second questions, comments? All those in favor? >> I opposed.

You know I really believe in my my experience May is is a unbelievable month leading into you know June all the stuff happens in June. You know May is big testing month. So last week you guys know we had the way to LA stuff that all went nice and went very smooth. We have a ton of participation in our state watch watches that stuff and um we have a good feeling that we think we'll be where we need to be. Not that they get punished. We don't but you know you know my time as administrators say I think testing is a good
030thing right if if the child is uh below average or need some support we want to be able to provide that. That gives us uh another data point to to look at. Um, next week is I think at the at the middle school they'll be testing doing the New York State math testing. Um, and AP exams start in in high school. Um, so not only is that maybe my favorite time of year, but all the celebrations that all occurred and um, you know, I think you guys are proud of those celebrations and I'm sure um, just a little update. We had um, math testing in ELA. Rebecca chose to uh, get a little window. she chose to start hers today while the whole state in various regions had uh significant technology issues. Um and NWA
031is the company state subcontracts for their platform and they manage it. Um our kids hung in I think six kids were able to get in. Uh so you have to allow them to finish it but the rest never got the rest never got in uh never logged in. So Rebecca shut it down and shipped it on the fly and readjusted the schedule for the weekend or for the rest of the week and they'll be challenging that as well you know and next week that's it. Thank you. Uh next we have this administrator section. >> Thank you. Um, first on my short list, uh, next Wednesday at six o'clock in the library, we have our budget hearing. Uh, it's not necessarily a board meeting. There's no action, but if anybody has trouble sleeping at night, that
032might be a way to help them. Uh, so if anybody's interested in that, they are certainly more than welcome to attend. Uh, yesterday was uh, bus driver appreciation day and uh, you know, the work that the bus drivers do every day uh, impacts every single one of our students. whether they take the bus in, they take a midday trip, they take a field trip, they take an athletic trip. Uh this week was bus drills. So everybody had bus drills as well. And uh you know, bus drivers are the first face that students see in the morning and often the last they see in the afternoon. And uh we are truly grateful for our bus drivers uh who, as Hillary mentioned, drove to and from the airport for Disney and uh got back here at 1:30
033in the morning and came to work for 6:15. So certainly her dedication and um you know interest in our students and our uh district is appreciated. And along those lines, uh next Saturday at 9:00 a.m. we have a test drive the bus coming up. So um you know we will meet bus drivers again next year. So, if anybody is interested in learning what it's like to get behind the wheel of a big yellow bus, uh 9:00 am next Saturday, Kathy, myself will be here and we'll have donuts and coffee and anybody can take a bus for a spin and see if that's a career that may be interesting for them. >> Are you going to post that on the website and on Facebook, >> Facebook website to sign? >> Yes. Um, and then the only
034the last thing I have is we're still awaiting a DBC visit for our wetland permit for the capital project, which is why we bid for agenda tonight. We're hopefully we'll get some clarity on that and they can hopefully be added to the 513 board agenda. >> Okay. And um I'm looking on here. I guess National School Principal Day is Friday, May 1st.

So maybe we can extend our congratulations on behalf of the board for our nurses. And again, our bus drivers who are normally the first hello our children see and the last goodbye our children see. and you know through all

All those in favor? >> Opposed? Motion carried. Okay. Committee report outs. Uh we have facilities facilities committee which is Tara. >> Yes. So on April 15th we met. Um present were myself Amy Rob was there. Um also present was Superintendent Mariano and Michael Kavanagh and that was there as well. The meeting was published in advance and open to the public as are all committee meetings. Um the capital project update. The facilities committee met on April 15th, 2026 to review phase one bid results and overall
039progress on the voter approved $26 million capital project. Rot, the architect leading the project from King and Kane in Saratoga presented the following update to the committee. Phase one bids and financial overview. Bids were received for site work, HVAC, electrical, roofing, and related components. The committee noted that phase one bids came in higher than initially anticipated due primarily to limited bidder participation. In several cases, there was only one bidder. Sight specific conditions including structural and excavation requirements, necessary infrastructure such as electrical service and drainage and general economic uncertainty and material inflation. The committee confirmed the total project budget remains capped at the voter approved amount and cannot be exceeded. The total project, including all incidental costs, cannot exceed the voter approved project amount of 26 million. Any increases in phase one, will be addressed through
040adjustments to phase 2 scope consistent with the approved proposition. Um, on the subject of clarification of project costs, the committee reviewed the full bid package and discussed the importance of distinguishing between total phase one project bid costs, which include multiple components. roofing for the middle school, high school in excess of 22,000 square feet, HVAC, electrical, and site work, and individual project elements such as the athletic comp complex. When reviewed independently, field related costs are generally consistent with prior estimates depending on final scope selections. As for the bidding process, bids were publicly advertised and distributed to known contractors. Ultimately, some contractor contracts only received a single bidder and thus had an impact on pricing. The primary site contractor has significant experience with similar projects throughout the region. The project timeline phase one remains on schedule for
041a summer construction start. Site work is anticipated to continue throughout the fall with roof work occurring during summer recess. Final closeout will extend into the following spring to ensure proper site establishment and inspection. As for permitting approvals, wetland and flood plane approvals are in progress. Coordination continues with local agencies and New York State DEC and no significant delays are anticipated at this time. As for next steps, the architect and district will conduct detailed bid reviews with contractors, clarify scope and identify potential cost reductions and develop a formal recommendation for board consideration. The board is expected to review recommendations and consider contract awards at the upcoming at the upcoming meeting. The facilities committee finds that the project remains within the voter approved budget on schedule and progressing appropriately with continued focus on cost clarity, scope refinement,
042and ensuring best value prior to final decisions. Thank you. Any questions? Thank you, Tara. Okay, the next thing we have is items of interest. Um so one that was brought to my attention today and I've shared with some I know seniors um Broadview has a bunch of scholarship opportunities so I can forward that to you as well as Mariana um and you can disseminate it accordingly. Um also Steuarts will probably be in touch. They're looking to do an event for a school um sometime in May and they asked me for some dates and I know that we have some stuff coming up. Also mentioned June some up ceremonies and um I had even suggested perhaps the night of the boat like to have some ice cream in the parking lot bring people in the boat
043and make it nice out there. So, >> um, and I think that's it. >> Anybody else? >> Um, real quick, >> either one of you. Go ahead. >> Who? Who else? >> Darl. >> The the uh the fireworks last year. The firework show is great. every year. Um there's a prepoundonderance of debris uh on a turf field that caused some delays for practices the next day and stuff. So I don't know if we had a maybe a group or a club or a booster club or somebody that might be interested in, you know, because that's that's a big area to cover for staff, you know, when they fall approaching that time. So somebody who's not tied into graduation ceremonies, maybe by some muster a force just to scour the grounds and get the degree. Maybe
044that will cool off. I'm not sure. >> Well, they pick up gas, don't they? >> Well, the wind was Yeah. pretty strong last year. >> Last not that I've been here a long time, but I think last year was a little bit of the exception.
