We are proud to announce that juniors Colby Burns and Emma Wissco are new members of the National Technical Honor Society. Mr. Tro sixth and grade and seventh and eighth grade bands are coming together for a mega band performance during our upcoming middle school spring concert. The class
004of 2029 participated in a campus cleanup effort. They picked up trash, clean bleachers, dugouts at all of our fields, and a few other odds and ends. We're excited to share that we had not one but two amazing Raiders named to the Democrat and Chronicles 2024 25 all greater Rochester winter teams which honors the top athletes in section 5. Congratulations to senior Hazel Nickerson on being named to the AGR girls basketball team and congratulations to junior Emma Broen on being named to the AGR girls indoor track and field team. Our varsity softball team finished their annual spring training trip today in in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This year was the 16th time Coach Dickens has taken his team for a spring training experience. Congratulations also to freshman Liam Mardle, who is Betavia Livingston County News Athlete
005of the Week for Golf. Thank you everyone. Next, we're going to move on to discussion around the board self-evaluation. As you're aware, you would have gotten you got the board self-evaluation recently and you got the comparison over the last 10 years this afternoon. My question to the board is given that you just received that second piece of information several hours ago. Do you want to postpone discussion until next meeting or would we like to carry on with the discussion this meeting? Does everyone feel comfortable enough to do that? I have not had a chance to do that. Okay. Any other opinion? I didn't hear what she said. Would you like to postpone the discussion given we just received some information this afternoon? I don't think that's a terrible idea, but if you want to forge
006forward. All right. We'll postpone till the next meeting. So, be prepared next meeting to discuss our board self-evaluation. Perfect. Um, guests of the board. First, we have Paige Turners. Oh, I'm sorry. I skipped ahead. Apologies. Any other correspondence, Dr. Chanel? Um, at this point, I think the one thing I would like to share with the board is just an outdate on our newsletter. Um, uh, we did have a typo in the heading of our newsletter, which was pretty frustrating given how much time and attention we spent uh to building that. So, I did just want to let you know that we do partner with our local Boseies to build our newsletter. And on behalf of the Boseies, Kevin McDonald did reach out with apologies. We will not be paying for that budget newsletter in terms
007of any costs that were incred. So, I did just want to update the board on that. No costs. No cost. Well, we mailed it out, sir. But other than that, we won't be paying for the printing costs. Maybe maybe he can give us the postage, too, because it's not the first time. I can certainly ask for that. Absolutely. Thank you, Dr. Chanel. Next, we're going to move on to board committee reports. I know of two committees that have met. Um the board operations manual subcommittee along with the board of education policy committees. So could I have reports off on those two items please? Let's start with the board of operations um manual subcommittee. That was Liz and Becca. U we met gosh a week or week week or so ago and went through the final
008draft of the document and I believe board members received you emailed it out to us about a week ago I think right yes and I think we're we're pretty well set what did I forget anything else I don't think for that Yep. So that was sent on 54. Everybody should have gotten that and reviewed it. Um you guys did great work on that so thank you for your time. I think that took several meetings. Oh man, I thought it looked really nice. Uh, board of education policy committee uh met a few weeks ago there and we talked about the exeicio student representative that we're going to be bringing onto the board and the method of which we will be selecting that individual. Um, kind of started to work out the terms that that person will
009serve under to make them the most effective member they can be. Um it's going to be something new for us and obviously new for them. So it'll be a a learning process for both. Um and then just some recommendations from um Boseies on new policy updates. Kind of boring stuff but necessary. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you very much. Any other comments? Can I just add to that that the there are some policies that the board had in their packet for their your first read through this time um which would be recommendations from this policy committee for us to review. Any other committee report updates? All right. Next, we're going to move on to guests of the board. First, we're going to have page turners with Mrs. Barber. could you please come up and um tell us
010all the great work you've been doing? Okay, so this year's our page team will actually like just under half of it. You guys can come up. It's okay. We won't fight. Thank you, Jacob. All right. and uh they ended up competing this year in the championships uh representing our school and our region over at Jens Boseies which was definitely like a point of pride for us. This is our second year going to the championships. Um you'll see some of our other page turners when they get here for our league extra extraordinary middle schoolers um presentation as well. Um but I'm sure the board would love to hear a little bit about their experience going to the championships and being page turners. Oh. on the spot. You could tell it. Well, I got to say, considering
011this was about my first year school page and not going to change into elementary school, this was pretty nice experience. It's It's nice to know that we had zero eighth graders. So little internal competition. Can you repeat that for us, Mrs. Farra? Oh, yeah. Um, so she was just saying that there's a wider variety of books at the middle school level. Um, and also being able to read on their own time, which is really good. That's great. Good work. Congratulations, guys. We are still waiting for quite a few of our members of the league for their presentation. Would you like to move to public comment and circle back to them? Would that be okay? Mrs. Boo, are you in the room? Do we have anyone signed up for public form? No public form. So, we
012were going to move on to business. Okay. So, I'll leave it up to you. Okay. They should be here relatively soon. They're coming from GCC. Okay. Is the board comfortable postponing that and when they walk in doing that? That's fine. Okay. Yep. That's fine with us. Yep. No, I understand. Everybody's got busy schedules. For page turners, if anyone needs to leave, now would be the time. You're also welcome to stay for the meeting and observe how we do this. But thank you very much much, Mrs. Barber. Uh we're moving on to superintendent reports, Dr. Chanel. Um actually tonight and what you see in your report is some information from me on um our current honor role and high honor role results. Uh you will notice that there's a bit of a dip in grades 10,
01311, and 12 in terms of how many kids are on the honor role. So I did ask our guidance counselor to do a deep dive into that data set and just kind of share that with me a little bit of the difference between what we're seeing. So, most of the 10th graders that are experiencing a dip right now are enrolled in geometry, which tends to be a challenging math class. Uh, that class seems to be um pulling down just a little bit on some of their their overall averages. Um, our 11th graders, some of them had that that are not on the role that typically are are taking a couple of AP classes at the same time. So, you could see like the increase in the demand and the rigor of the courses that they
014were in along with a couple of kids that are in algebra 2. Uh, algebra 2 is the high school math class that we would refer to as the gatekeeper uh, when you're talking about students getting the highest level of diploma type. So, that is probably the most challenging uh, math class that we offer other than when we get into AP calculus. Am I right out there? Yes. Okay. Till we hit AP calculus. Uh, and the seniors, it was a little I wouldn't say it was a lot of kids on the senior class that sort of dropped off, but definitely you're starting to see senioritis. I was surprised with some of the names that fell off the list. and I'm sure their parents were too. Um, and also just a few that attendance is starting to
015get in their way. So, same kind of thing. We've got to keep chasing after kids to help them finish strong. Thank you. You're welcome. Uh, there is no old business, so we're going to move on to new business. New business tonight starts with the code of conduct presentation by Dr. Chanel. So, this year the code of conduct uh, similar to others has been reviewed by our compact committees. Uh, I'm actually going to present on Mr. Banzer's behalf. He is not with us this evening because he is up at Jones Hall. We have a a couple of middle school children that are actually graduating tonight from the babysitters course and it's very important to our community that a principal be present when when those celebrations are occurring. So that's where Mr. Banser is this evening. Uh
016he had shared with you guys uh the last time that he spoke about the compact committee that they'd had the conversation around the code. There really is only two small changes that he's recommending to the code of conduct in terms of content. Uh there's a few I would say um wanting to be a little bit more inclusive in some of the language that you'll see in the markup, but on page 14, engaging in conduct that is insubordinate. Uh Mr. Banzer did find that when he was trying to crosswalk um for kids that were true into school that that's something that we address when we're in our parent student handbook, but it it didn't match back over into the code. And so just thinking about that transition uh space with principal to make sure that there's
017a lot of clarity there. So we have pulled over uh truent from school and missing or leaving school without permission under letter C engaging in conduct that is insubordinate. We are putting a pin in the cell phone policy. So you guys know that we've been kind of waiting to see what was going to happen with the budget. Uh it does appear very clear uh in the budget that's been passed in New York State that we are going to have to have a cell phone ban bellto bell while kids are in school. Uh it does appear that we're going to be allowed to have kids store their cell phones in their own lockers um and putting consequences in place should they not be uh living up to the expectation of bell-to-bell ban. But because that's new
018the the con I know I'm looking at some of the kids they're like we're seniors. Um I do think that the compact committee meets again this week on Wednesday. So the conversation is at least going to begin there as part of the process that the state is asking us for. We do need to engage probably our student council. We need to try to find a voice amongst the kids to make sure that they really understand why this rule is coming uh and what kinds of things we might should do in order to shore that rule up so kids don't think that schools are just you know becoming more rigid and instead help them understand uh from the full perspective of the psychology and the mental health concerns uh that are being addressed by this particular
019legislation. So we will have to put the code up for a second time. Uh, but we definitely want to have a code of conduct that gets its 30-day public review so that when we begin our summer school, we actually have a current code with current dates. So, what you'll see is this code moving forward and then we will come back to you with changes to the code for a second round of of input from the community. Thank you, Dr. Chanel. Any questions? When would the cell phone ban When does that begin? Next school year. Next school year. Thank you. Absolutely. Will that be addressed in an um opening uh assembly at the beginning of the school? Yes. I would say a couple of things like we probably want to make sure we get communication out
020before the end of the school year, right? If parents are not paying attention to the rules that are kind of changing, I mean it's it's coming out in a school budget, right? It's coming out as part of the way in which we are funded at the state level. So if people are not paying very close attention, this could be going right over them. So, I think we need to do a serious round of communication before the school year is out, probably with kids, and then again at the beginning of the school year, making sure that we've addressed like the, let's call it, all of the procedures that we're going to need them to go through in terms of making sure that their cell phones are off and in their locker for belt. Something that our
021elementary and middle school students are used to. The one change I think elementary and middle school students will experience is that wearables are included in this law. So, if you happen to be wearing um an an a watch that is has internet capabilities, those are not going to be allowed in schools. So, some things that maybe we haven't paid as close attention to will start to need to be addressed. Okay. Thank you. Next, we're going to move on to number three, athletic code of conduct. Mr. Reed, way back there. I see you. It can be two places. Um, similarly to the high school code of conduct, we review the athletic code annually. Very minimal changes to it really. Um, a lot of it was just putting in writing uh what we've done our process so
022that when Tim McConnell takes over, there's not a question. you can still call me, but it's easier if it's written down. So, the first one is on page uh seven, and it's levels. We give a little description of the levels. It's this is the varsity one. And we just noticed that the winning piece was mentioned in junior varsity, but not mentioned in the varsity level, which didn't make, you know, a lot of sense cuz varsity is the one year competing for section states. So we just word smith it a little bit and adding in that winning is emphasized um that athletes are expected to be fully committed to the team. We don't really see a lot of it but you know sometimes you get students that kind of just disappear after a while. Rarely does
023it happen at varsity but again we want them to understand that they're fully committed to the team. The next one is on page 14. Yes. Uh so we've so usually this is like Mr. McCart calls me or you know whoever's doing discipline is like hey what do we do with a kid that's in detention? Can they do this? And then I'm like well this is what we've done in the past. So we want to formalize it. People on the committee we also talked about in school that was actually already in there. So we didn't have to add it. It was already but detention was one. Basically, we just summarize what we've been doing. Like, if a kid's in detention and they have to go to detention, then they don't play sports. If they can get
024out of detention and make it to sports, then that's going to be between the student and the coach. Um, you know what they're doing. So, that was that piece right there under eligibility. There's a little blip under eligibility, uh, where I put in, you can see link. So, Mr. Carl's far vastly superior in the area of technology that I am. We've gotten some questions about especially with our leave early part uh which is a participation pass or the note required when somebody leaves uh goes to the doctor comes back and like people are like what is that like it doesn't say clearly. It's kind of like where you have two paths that cross. We have a school code of conduct. It's pretty clearly put in there. So athletic code of conduct can be built after
025the school code of conduct. So we kind of felt like people would know what they were because they were following them for school, but some people didn't. So we actually met with a parent um who had a concern and Tim and I just kind of said, "Hey," I said, "It'd be pretty easy if you just put a link in there to that. I think there's a list of 13 things that are considered." So that would clear it up. So if parents have that question, um, you know, here's the link. Click, boom, it takes. Otherwise, you can list them. He'll figure that out whether he can put the link or not. And then the word just changed because the word that's used for the 13 I think was um excuse I had approved. Try to match
026it up to what is there. And then the last one is on page 23. So this again kind of goes back to sometimes um student athletes like we don't again we don't see a lot of it but it is frustrating when you know if you're putting the team together the concept and you know you're counting on this person and we don't make cuts much anymore but if you were to make cuts um all of a sudden then somebody comes back and you're like yeah I don't feel like playing. So there's two parts to it. The first part we kept the same sportsmith a little bit differently that if somebody wants to go from one sport to another in the season. So golf to baseball has to have the approval of uh both coaches and the
027athletic director. So we and rarely do those get denied. If the kid really wants to go, we do that. In terms of just in the second part was then in terms of quitting. Um they did feel that we looked at some other codes of conduct and the committee felt like adding in um if they quit that they would be ineligible for 10% which is usually a pretty small number of the next season. So they quit basketball, they run track, they they would be ineligible for a part of track. It's still practice. It's just a contest. Um and again you throw in the caveat that uh if it's a reason that's acceptable to the athletic director and coach that a student quits then it's you don't have to you don't have the punishment you don't have
028the consequences. So if there's a family situation that develops and a kid needs to get out you know or there's an issue. So, those are in there. Those are in most codes. They're in all the codes that we looked at. But again, it does get frustrating. It can be frustrating as a coach if you're counting on somebody and then all of a sudden they just disappear. So, minimal changes. That's probably the biggest one. But the rest of it was just formalizing. I wasn't there for the last meeting, but the the kids quitting, that was actually something that our student reps brought up. It was starting to bother some of our varsity athletes. So that was good to hear that their concern is now visible in the code. Yeah, they actually got uh you missed it,
029but the same student brought it up again in the same example and you know kind of remind us just at least it makes the kid think maybe twice like if if they're doing something and they're really thinking about their next sport. It's like uh do I want to toughen out or do I, you know, do that or within the first couple weeks do I need to pull the plug now and get out before like you you're starting to build your team. I mean, that's that's not good if they walk out of that. Any questions from the board? Thank you, Mr. Reed. Mr. Reed, I believe this might be your last board presentation. No, I usually come to June. June. Oh, June. That's correct. So, you have one more. All right. So, yeah. So, no farewell,
030you guys. No farewell yet. I'm going to go back and see how that goes. Okay. Good luck. Thank you very much. Thank you. Uh, we're going to move on to is the page turn. Yep. So, we're going to move on to approving the athletic code of conduct. Then I'm going to circle back to you. I see you've had some people walk in, but I just want to jump. I don't want to break that up. So, we're going to approve the athletic code of conduct resolved at the board of education upon the recommendation of the superintendent. Approve the athletic code of conduct for the 2025 2026 school year. May I have a motion, please? I'll make it. A second. Second. Any discussion? Oh, please. I'm sorry. Will the um board members and superintendent high school principal
031names be updated before it's all Thank you for pointing that out. Yeah, we'll make sure that's all accurate. Uh all in favor say I. I. Any opposed? That motion is carried. Now, Mrs. Hatch and Mrs. Barber are going to present on the lead of Extraordinary Middle Schoolers. I'm very excited to hear about this. Dr. Chanel has given us no information to tell you all about it. Um, so I know the presentation is behind you. You might have it on your screens. I do have some paper copies if you'd like to look at their presentation as well as a handout that these students have created. Mrs. Hatch and I I think there's about five copies, so you might have to share a little bit. Yep. Thank you so much. So, Mrs. Hatch and I um started
032an enrichment group. Uh some of our Western Brighters HighL um scorers in literature this year. Um so these students all come together. We initially thought it was going to be a really cool book club and it has grown into something so much cooler than that. Um and I that's all I'm going to tell you. They are going to take it on and tell you all about the work that they've been doing with the League of Extraordinary Middle Schoolers. Um there is a presentation right there. This is our presentation on Sarah Jane McBride by the League of Extraordinary Middle Schoolers. Today we're going to talk about all about who we are, the League of Extraordinary Middle Schoolers. We have words to know and some pictures all about Sarah Damian Pride, her timeline and impact on fishing
033and our process of being a Palmer foundation markers. Our group was formed during the 2024 2025 school year and there are some of the top performers in each of our pickup grades. We waiting to place historical marker to to honor Sarah Jer and we continue. Is there a microphone on the Thank you match matching the bugs. So more fish are attracted to the parks. Palmer historical marker. A sign that commemorates people, places, things or events within New York City. Hobby scientist. Someone who studies things in their free time but not for a job or profession. Entomology and entomologist. Study of insects and someone who studies bugs. Tommojo. The tomo was Sarah's most famous line and was inspired by multiple types of nets. It's most commonly used for catching trout because trout is very popular in
034the Calia area. This is it. It has where she lived in New York and it has the bronze medal that she got through in Philadelphia. This is the map of where Sarah lives and the highlighted spot is where her house is and that's where she lives and then the creek is where she most creek also. This is the 1850 census and it says and the census holds records like your birthday is how old you are marriage and death records and sometimes they can get messed up so we don't know how valid they are and one census claims that Sarah was born in 1844 and another 1846. We don't know her exact the exact year of one and there's also different variations of how they spell her name. One spells that S A R H. She
035spells it this way. You know that cuz that's how she put it on her business card. And another spells that S A R H. And another thing to help us with was pick up the location because it proved that her father owns. So all about Sarah. Sarah was an opportunistic detail oriented hobby scientist who lived right around the 1800s. She studied fly fishing under her father John McBride. Her mother escaped fly tires. She grew up trying to fly with him throughout her entire life and inherited his fly tide business during hell during the afternoon test. And then Sarah enhanced the um family business by using her selfstudied um findings on insects all over California Creek and inside her home with aquariums that she herself. And during her study, she observed life cycles, how they attracted
036certain fish, and how different species um attracted things. And then using this knowledge, she created accurate fly ties for fishermen around the world. And her works are still used today. Now, Sarah did not actually invent match the hatch, but her studies did lay down the foundation for it. and then her dad remains a district to this day. Both known about her life after the 1870s, but the most common theory is that she lived for sure and lived out the rest of her days there. Around 1844, Sarah Jame was born into an Irish family and she and she grew up tying flies with her father in shop. She was the fifth of six girls in science. [Music] Right around 1875, Sarah's father dies. She takes over the business. This is when she starts to introduce her
037knowledge of fly tying and just grows the business. And at this point, she also starts writing articles for um news um papers like the stream. And then she continued this process throughout her life. At about 1878, since her business was growing, she decided to move shop to New York City hoping to attract more customers. And she even won a bronze medal for her ties and studies at the bicesentennial exhibition in Philadelphia. Around 188 right review five time facility in England. She article got published approved and she spirit doctor impact on number one. Sarah changed the sport to what it is today. And instead of being a thing that people had to do to get food, they changed it and made it a fun thing for people to do in their recreational. Number two, Sarah was
038one of the first female entomologists of her time and she was self-educated. This meant she was a pioneer and a leader in her time. Number three, Sarah pioneered the match to match with all her studies. Number four, Sarah worked to provide sport and science throughout her life to contribute to the wonderful sport of life. So, a brief synopsis of our process is we first came up with the idea of how we wanted to honor a historical person from this local area and we stumbled upon Sar County historian Holly Watson. She really guided us through this process on how to find research choosing a person, what websites to use and what resources to give off in the town. And then after rigorous hours of research, we made an application for the Pary Foundation, finalized what we're
039going to say on the sign, and then our lettering in 10 was sent out to the actual foundation. And then luckily, it was approved. Now, the hub of the town, we are hopefully placing the Norer this summer for Sarah J Pride in front of the yellow house that's just And then on the board is basically signate of kind of a raw idea of what a designer would look like. That is the inscription I'm using. It says Sarah Jane Pride born circa 1844 enologist, author and fly time. She advanced the sport of fly fishing with match to hatch prime techniques from the William G. Har Foundation. These are the sites we used for our research. If you would like them, you can visit us after this presentation. Thank you. That's fantastic. That's absolutely amazing. Are there
040any questions from the board? I congratulate you. I think you did a wonderful job. This is great. And that ties in with things museum, too. And the truck master. Are you will have a are you will have any sort of presentation at the child festival? We're going to be giving four at 10:30, right? Yeah. Oh, very great. Good for you. Thank you all for coming tonight. This is absolutely amazing and so impressive. Um, thank you. Thank you. Before we move on, I would like to just take this moment and say thank you to both Mrs. Hatch and Mrs. Barber. Uh this is actually not a club or activity that's really like established within our school. This was a group of young people that when they first got leveled in ISL, we realized that their their
041reading levels were just off the chart. So how do you take a group of kids that are so young and already reading so far above where they should be reading and make sure that they get the right kind of enrichment? And like Mrs. Barber said, at first we were thinking of a book club, but look what it turned into. and such a really great experience and I just want to say thank you to both educators for going but we would say above and beyond times a thousand right you go above and beyond all the time this is times a thousand thank you so much investment for the students you're welcome to stay for the remainder of our meeting but if you have other things in your schedule you're also welcome to leave at this time

Resolved that the board of education upon the recommendation of the superintendent approve the deletion of the following board policy. Number 7440, student membership in the National Honor Society and the Junior National Honor Society. And I have a motion, please. I'll make the motion. A second. Second. Uh, any discussion? Dr. Chanel, just for people in the audience, would you speak to this so it doesn't sound so alarming? Absolutely. So, basically, Erie Wosis does not have a policy for National Honor Society or National Junior Honor Society. We had a policy of our own 7440. They're now using 7440 for another purpose. So, we need to make sure that our policies align with the policies as they're coming out
046across the state. So, you see our deletion there to make room for a new policy. All of our roles and regulations around the honor societies are still written inside of all of our codes of conduct and our handbooks. Uh we will do some research this summer around which place should we maybe revise another policy to add these uh components to a policy so that we do have some local. Um but for now we are making space for 7440. Thank you very much. Absolutely. Um all in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Uh that motion is carried. Approval of summer recreation program transportation.
