001All right, we're going to start with uh item two, legal notice of annual budget hearing and school vote. And we're going to move right to item three. Motion to accept draft minutes of annual budget hearing from May 6th of 2025. This is an action. Do I have a motion? >> Motion. Motion by Jerry, second by George. Any discussion? Please proceed to vote. All right, motion carries unanimously, which moves us on to item four, the annual budget hearing budget presentation. Uh, and the budget presentation is going to be by Mr. Jeff, our assistant superintendent for business and finance. All [clears throat] right, good evening everybody. Uh, for anyone that doesn't know me, I'm the new assistant superintendent for business, uh, Jeff Frolic. Want to start by just thanking the board, administration, all the faculty, staff, and
002really most important, the community for supporting this district. Without everybody's support, the district wouldn't be what it is today. So, the first slide is the three-part budget which is required by uh state law. Basically, it breaks it down into capital component, administrative and program. So the capital component basically covers everything with buildings and grounds uh your debt service um all the everything with facilities their salaries benefits all the materials supplies equipment uh to keep the building in shape. Uh that's budgeted to be at four million a little over four million next year which is about 10% of the total budget. Uh then the administrative portion that is basically the superintendent's office, the board of education, finance, uh the central office and that for next year is about 4.6 million which is 11.7% of the budget
003and the largest part is the program component. That's everything directly rel related to students uh teacher salaries, benefits, all their materials, supplies, cost of their programs and that is about 30 million for next year which is 78% of the budget. Overall the budget as you can see is 39.6 million which is a 4% increase or about 1.5 million over the current year. So, the first component, the capital one, as we said, it basically covers everything to keep the building running. Um, central services, debt service, and transfer to capital, employee benefits, and then there's a few little specialty items in there. The largest change next year from this year is the amount of money we are transferring into the capital fund. So, we would do that if we were going to do any capital outlay projects.
004So, we just have enough in there to do a small capital outlay if the district chooses to. And the benefit of doing those is they get approved by the state very quick and then you can spend up to 100 grand doing one and then you get um our building aid ratio back which I believe is around 40ome percent. We would get that back in the following. The administrative component is again the board of education, uh the school administrator which is superintendent, finance, central service, uh legal fees, uh the BOSI administrative cost that includes their admin cost as well as their capital and rental fee that they charge us every year. And then employee benefits as well for the admin departments. And again, that is about 4.6 6 million. Then again, the largest piece is the
005program component. So that covers all teacher salaries, uh co-curricular activities, the guidance office, all their benefits, um that includes transportation, psychological services, oped, um every again everything that has to do with students. That is 30.8 8 million next year. And then on the revenue side, there was a slide up there. So where our money comes from, the largest two pieces are property taxes or school taxes and state aid. So taxes next year are slated to be 22.2 2 million which is a 2.9% increase over the current year. And then state aid is 12.5 million which is actually a little bit lower than the current year but that's because certain things do drop off. So we do have expense based aid so such as building aid that will drop off over time. So that's why that's
006actually a little lower. Our Bosey's aid. If we spend a little less in Boseies, then that will also drop off. Um the largest piece of our state aid is foundation aid. In that we're basically what they call fully funded. So we are at hold harmless. So we get an $80,000 increase in state aid. That's it. Let's go back to this. So this pie chart will kind of show you again the breakdown of the revenues. So obviously the blue is the tax levy, orange is the state aid that makes up roughly 90% of our revenue. Uh going back to the expenses, the blue is our salaries, orange is benefits. So as you can see that's a very large piece of our budget. OSE in green, our utilities, the little sliver of blue around 600 grand. Transportation
0073.8 that service 300 grand. That equates to about 95% of our budget that we don't have any control or very very little. That little pie piece that's sticking out, that's really the only discretional spending that we have. So out of 39 million, only about 2 million of it is somewhat discretional. So again, next year tax levy 22.8 million is a 2.9% increase. Our tax cap, we could have went out at 300 or 3.83% or chose to go at 2.9, which is a $200,000 difference. Then the contingency budget. So on May 19th, if the budget's voted down, the board has two options. And that is we can redo the budget, put it back out to the voters. They can leave it the same, go back out to the voters, then they'll vote on June 19th, or
008they could opt to go right to a contingent budget. Um, if the budget does fail on June 19th again, they would have no choice but to adopt a contingency budget, which would be the one that's shown. And basically the caveat with the contingency budget is we cannot raise taxes any more than we currently pay now. So we would once again have to go out at 22.2 million next year which means from the current budget we would have to reduce about another 664,000. That is it. Anybody has questions? How many people are involved in the administration? >> I would have to get the exact number for you. I know we have two we have high school and a principal. There's my position director special. Believe there's one more director. I believe that probably roughly eight plus
009reserve reserve in here. So we have a capital reserve. So that would be funded at the end of the year. You can't budget to put money. >> I thought we had a capital reserve. We put money in each year. So time to build something. >> We do have we do have >> do we add to it? >> That's at the end of the year. So at the end of this year, if we have money left over, we can opt to put money into the capital. We can't budget to put money small print things here. It says teaching and instruction instruction and teaching. What's the difference? So this instruction that's the sum. So fraction is the total total. >> If you flip to the end of the budget, that's where you would see a large things
010budgeted shop class. What What do we have shop in this district? My my life was built on my education complex. That was my profession. Got out of there. I was ready to go. We had good programs. I don't know what we have now. >> I'm new, but I did take a tour of the shop and it's fantastic. What they offer is incredible. The district I came from had a great program, and this one is just as better, if not better. Phenomenal. I don't I mean, I know there's a lot of different courses. they offer. I don't know what all the courses are, but it's very very impressive. >> When when you want to get somebody to fix your oil burner or gas burner or something, it's almost impossible to get somebody. Do they have anything
011through Boseies? >> They do. So, Boseies has uh career in tech. So, kids can go there for electrical, HVAC. Now they offer welding, auto automotive, uh carpentry, heavy equipment. I mean in rate years ago there wasn't a lot of kids that went there. Now I would say roughly 50% if not more go junior and senior. I see these percentages on here, you know, like there's an increase of 11% and minus 8%. >> Seems like there's a lot of percentages, but on this paper that you sent out the uh budget cap is 3% 2% >> two Well, it's 2% is what they call it, but it's >> it's not necessarily 2% because there's different exclusions that come into play. That's why our cap is actually 3.8%. So they went to two point. So we're under our
012>> something. The district is 3.8. So what they do, the state looks at what we pay in debt service for capital project, what do we receive in building aid? And then that adds to how much we're allowed. Without any of that, we would strictly be Okay, so that's it. Thank you, Jeff. [clears throat] Does anyone from the board have a commentation or comment, a question? Anybody else in the crowd? All right, we're going to move forward then. Um, if there's no further public comment, um, and we're going to go to the introduction of board candidates and our opportunity to speak. I think this is a predetermined list. >> We sure can. Bob, what do you got? >> What What are we doing with AI? I know I see things come up on my phone and
013it's more of a pain in the ass than it is a help. Um, kids that are going from here to college, are they are we aware? I know nothing about it, but are our kids going to be prepared for jobs with AI that's coming or are they just in computer programming and when they get there they're going to say, "Woo, you're in the wrong thing. What are we doing and what is it costing?" Bob, >> I'll say what is it costing so that it fits into the budget thing? >> We've been all over it, Bob. And uh Mr. Snder, do you have a nice pardon? >> We we've been all over the AI uh topic. Um Mr. Snyder, you have a nice presentation a meeting or two ago that's online and he spells out kind
014of what we're doing, how we're utilizing it, and how we're preparing the kids for it. So, >> so we're we're well into it. >> Absolutely. >> Very good. >> Thank you, Bob. If if I may, just comment to the AI. I've been sort of a skeptic and the U faculty is and the administration is well aware of it but I've softened that view substantially. I had an incident recently and they used AI for my medical care and what they came up with I was very very impressed. So in the right place, I really believe it's going to be something that's going to help us. But if it's not used properly, it may come back to bite us. But it's really out there and I think it's on the right course. It's how it's used. So
015but that's my experience with it. >> I agree with you. I know. our own eyes. Some of the things be aware of. >> Well, I think that's been going on for years, Bob, is how we use our brains and to be productive. So, uh I know there's different issues there in reference to that, but uh we'll leave it at that. >> All right. Thank you. No, that's I'm I'm glad we can talk it out here. Uh we're going to do the introduction of board member candidates. Um there are three positions open. There are three people that have put in. Uh the order on the ballot will be myself at the top line, Ian Constable at the second line, and Kaylin Berthal at the third line. Um and we will vote on those positions in the
016budget on the 19th. Um in the meantime, we're going to do the intro intro to candidates. So I know most of you, but we're still going to do it. How close? >> Um, my name is Tim Diamond. Uh, most of you guys know me. A lot of people in the community know me. Um, running for another full term on the board. I've done a full ter term already as the sitting vice president and came back in February and I've been in the presidency uh role which has been very interesting and I'm glad to be here. Um my parents moved here uh in the 70s, moved to Foxcraw Village, got a trailer, started their family um had five kids uh we ran them into the ground um but we had a great experience here at Tri
017Valley. Um, all five of us graduated, all five of us went to college, all five of us are now successful adults. Um, and I, a lot of that is not just a testament to the very stable and loving home that that we grew up in, but what we learned here at Tri Valley and the experiences we had at Tri Valley. Um, this was the center of our universe as kids. Um, I spent more time at Tri Valley than I probably did at my own home growing up. Um, and I I felt like that wasn't exactly the experience my kids were having early in their school years. Um, so I I wanted to make a little bit of a a push and and try to make a difference and get it back to where it was.
018Um, I think we've made uh huge strides in this community getting it back to being homebased, right? and getting it back to being a warm place that uh kids want to be, families want to be. Um for a while uh particularly around COVID, which is a difficult time obviously for everybody. Uh we turned into like it felt almost like a jail scenario here, right? Nobody was welcome. Uh it was it was kind of cold. Um and that could have been just, you know, circumstance of the times, but I think much of it was uh just a changing in in the culture. So um I think we're we're getting back on track. Um, looking at the future, uh, I am a firm believer in, uh, good pay for good work. Um, as everyone in this room
019should know, and if you don't, uh, our teachers, our administrators, um, and our assistant staff all have contracts. Um, they are good contracts. Um, and and I believe in that, right? I I came from the union world. um obviously uh retired as a union president for the state police. So I know a little thing about uh how to how to negotiate and and what people deserve, right? How do we keep good people here? We we do a good job. Uh they do a good job. We pay them well. Um I want to make sure the school is safe. That is my number one priority. That will always be my number one priority. Safe kids. Uh everything else comes second to me. And I I'll always say that. Um I want my kids to be safe
020when they come to school. I want everybody else's kids to be safe. Uh, and then when they get there, when they get here, I want to have fun. I want to learn. I want to learn how to be good human beings. I want to be kind. Um, and there's no place like Tri Valley to me. So, I would be honored to have uh everyone's vote in the uh election on the 19th. Thank you. >> Next up, we have Mr. Ian Constant. >> Good evening, everybody. Uh so uh you heard my spiel once before already but I will give it again. Um this time I'll try to do a better time better job. Uh so I am Ian Constable. I own Constable Custoio Service uh Liberty Moodle Academy and JCS Distributors. Uh I've broughten the karate
021school out of the red because the prior owner that had it was uh struggling and didn't have the time to run the school. Um, also on top of that, I am the pathming lot 582 in Ellenville. Um, they were in the red and I brought them out uh as well. Um, one of the things that I'm mostly here for for school is to support my family. My my two daughters are just coming into the school, uh, fifth grade and first grade. Uh my wife works here as a kindergarten teacher and all I can do is be here for you guys to support the school and what you guys are doing. I believe what you guys are doing is very productive and you know as from what I saw in the last few meetings that I
022was here before I did everything I could to support you guys. I stepped back. I let Tim take on the uh challenges that were ahead of you guys and I thought that um you know that was our best decision to make the the school progress or the board progress. So like I said, I'm only here to support and uh give uh give the kids a mentor, somebody to look up to. Thank you. Right, Miss Kayn Berthal. Hello everybody. If you guys can just bear with me, I'm a little bit nervous. Um, so my name is Kaitlin Bartholive and I am grateful for the opportunity to speak tonight and share a little bit about myself. I believe I can offer a unique perspective shaped by both my personal and professional experiences. I've been a Tri Valley
023parent since 2021, since my older when my older son Bod started kindergarten. He's now in fourth grade and my younger son Blake is in first grade. I've dabbled a little bit in volunteering in different school events, but this is really my first um step into like deeper involvement in our schools. Um I believe I would be a strong addition to the school board because of my commitment to student growth and success. I believe every student deserves access to safe, supportive, highquality education that helps them reach their full potential. Um, I value collaboration, open communication, um, and thoughtful decision-making. Um, I'm committed to listening to everybody, parents, teachers, community members, um, so we can all work together. Um, after meeting my husband, Trevor, I moved here from Monroe about 14 years ago. So, coming from a
024larger school in community, it was a little overwhelming and a little um, a little intimidating coming to such a close-knit community. Um, but I felt like it was important for me to adapt to the culture of this community that I chose to move to and I'm proud now that I raised my children here. Um, so before meeting my husband, I came to Sullivan County for a job at the Center for Discovery. I've been working there now for just about 18 years. It'll be 18 years in August. Um, I work with children who have some of the most complex cases of autism and other co-occurring diagnoses. I spent years working in our research department where I was able to utilize innovative technology to provide a deeper insight and understanding um of the children that we were
025working with and um to help better identify their needs. These experiences allowed me to make real-time adjustments to behavior strategies and environmental factors to better support their day-to-day functioning. Through my time at the center, I've de developed extensive experience in functional behavior assessments, behavior intervention plans using research-based strategies, task analysis, classroom management strategies, and behavior modification skills, and I have a pretty good understanding of IEPs. Um, I also spent time in our admissions department. I gained a lot of insight into different school systems and the challenges that districts face when supporting students with higher needs. Ultimately, I realized my passion is working with children. Um, I currently work with our youngest learners in the K2 program out in Rock Hill. Our main goal really is to help these students build the skills they need to
026be successful in a less restrictive environment, including both self-contained and inclusion classrooms within school districts. I often reflect on my son Blake's experience in first grade, which gives me a valuable real-time perspective on skills and expectations needed to help our students reach their goals. These experiences have shown me how critical it is to support all students, those who need additional services, those who excel, and everybody in between. It also means investing in not just academics, so those extracurricular activities, um, athletics, music, theater. I'm also really interested in student groups that help children develop confidence, encourage personal development, and meaningful connections. Um, just as importantly, I strongly believe that we must support our teachers. They are the foundation of our schools, and student success depends on giving educators the tools, resources, and the environment that they
027need to thrive. I believe in working together to ensure our school remains safe, supportive, and focused on strong academic outcomes while providing meaningful opportunities for every student. Through these experiences, I'm confident I can contribute a thoughtful and valuable perspective to the conversations and decisions that arise throughout the school year. Thank you. >> Outstanding. Thank you, Ian and Kayn. and I look forward to working with both of you. Uh, okay. Do I have a motion to adjourn the budget hearing? >> Second. >> Motion by Nicole. >> Second by Travis.

I got you. >> Okay, so I actually have nothing new for the students this week. I've been asking around a lot. So, actually
039looking if you have any questions for anything about the students, but I do want to figure out a way to maybe get like some form out for the students to fill out if they have anything that maybe the board could help tackle uh in the future with any plans or comments that they have about the school. I like that idea. >> Sort of like a suggestion box. Yeah. >> So, we could maybe look at installing one right by the security booth. >> I like that a lot. >> Yeah, that'd be great. >> Yeah. Make it electronic. I can't imagine. Um, thank you, Chris Nicole. Um I just want to say I had the pleasure of chaperoning the second grade field trip to Hugen Street in New um they represented us very well today. I don't
040know maybe there's 60 of them and they were very well behaved. So kudos to the elementary >> I had the pleasure with George to see the seventh and eighth grade award ceremony last Friday. That was great. Outstanding. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Um I just want I wanted to bring up busting. I know it was asked that I either the last meeting or the meeting before how busing was looking. Um I heard it was doing great. Um I haven't seen that. Um just this week alone modified baseball games have been delayed by 30 minutes. the other teams are not happy, the umps are not happy, so they're trying to rush players, and it's something that needs to be looked at. >> I I agree. Um, and I I know uh Erin's not with us tonight,
041but uh if you guys could bring that back, just >> we we've had repeated uh complaints of busing issues. Uh, you know, I think tonight the modified boys went to Jeff first to drop off the varsity girls and then out to Rockland. I don't know how that pickup's going to go, but it's it's not pretty. Um, and I think we we pay the bus company well to not have issues like this. So, um, if we could just take a little bit of a deep dive to see if there's something we could do. Um, and if we're not going to get the level of service that we pay for, um, is there some type of reimbursement that I thanks Marina. >> Um I'm good. Thank you. >> In reference to the election machines specifically last year
042there were some issues. Um people were bullet voting and the paper wouldn't go in the machine. So they were told that well you then did you vote for everybody? Well, no. Obviously, and isn't accepting it. So, I don't know what the people did, but I know what I did. Once I found that out, the guy come over and he said, "Well, you got to push this green button." Nobody knew that. Really? That's an embarrassment to the district because now people know how you vote. That green button better not be here this year because you're not going to get some voters. They're mad. They're mad. So, it needs to be looked at very carefully. Make sure there's no green button and make sure if one person wants to vote just for one thing, it'll go through
043and that's the American way. Um, I think we all got an invitation for the DARE. Um, that's that's a very good program and I congratulate all the the graduates and uh I just have to apologize. Uh, John Tenbas sent me a letter and I can't go. I put in that I was going to go, but I can't go. Reference to security here. Um, getting the end of the year, we still gota if we see something, say something. But also, it goes outside as well. Um, I was letting some my grandchildren off. And, you know, a weapon can be used in a lot of ways. And a vehicle can be called a weapon. and a car sped by me and quite fast went up around the bus quite fast and let somebody else off. We had
044a problem like this years ago and a a individual came in and said, "We need to do something." Well, we did something. Speed bumps. Now, I thought we had speed bumps here. They're not out yet. Is that what it is? But the person that came in that complained was the first person caught. I know they said I know I know but the point is everybody's in a hurry in the morning but this is very busy area and we're very fortunate somebody hadn't gotten hurt and our concern is the safety of our k of our children and our faculty and our staff. So I believe we should have speed bumps out there. They're not put out they should be put out. So I'm only one of nine but you know you want to be proactive instead
045of reactive. Um, are we serving whole milk because that's been allowed now? >> I don't have if you could get that answer because it is allowed and I think whole milk for years they said it's really a poison to everybody. Well, it's not. Can you get whole milk with caf? Uh, I think so. I don't know. there. >> I see that uh it was just a executive order for physical fitness like we used to have years ago. There was testing for it. Push-ups that situps, lifts, and everything. So, I hope we really get into that because I think it's very important for the kids. Even though there's a lot of kids that do the extracurricular, but there's some that don't engage at all other than gym play. So, I think that's an important thing. uh

So, they're still working it out. Um like to thank the candidates for coming in. It's a uh if you do it the right way and you're really engaged, it is timeconuming, but the thing of it is everything that this board does, it affects our children here and we want to make sure our children are ready for the future and it's very important that every child receives that type of education that
047they're really we should be giving them. Thank you. >> Thank you, George. Um thank you, Kayla, Ian. Um, we'll be spending plenty of Thursdays together, I think, in the near near future.
