001leading to order. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Sorry, Mr. Bell. I was trying to see if you were coming in. I needed my just I'm not out of breath, but I Thank you for joining us this evening. Please be advised in the event of a fire emergency and alarm will sound. Please note all emergency exits and evacuate while away from the building. At this time, we request everyone please turn your cell phones to silence. Thanks. Thank you for your cooperation. We're going to start tonight with our cons uh additions, deletions, and changes to the agenda. Dr. Chanel, we do have an addition

002uh this evening, a consent agenda addition for cse recommendations. And also, we have a deletion this evening. There is no need for an executive session for personal reasons. Thank you. We're going to move on to consent agenda. Result of the board of education upon the recommendation of the superintendent approved the following consent agenda items 1 through three as listed. May I have a motion, please? I'll make it. A second. Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. Any opposed? That motion is carried. Moving on to communications correspondence. Dr. Chanel. Um, I'm going to save the property tax report card um for my superintendent report. I'll ask Bruce to report out on that. For this section of correspondence, I want to let you know that I did get a couple of follow-up um communications over the

003course of last week. When we talked to the folks at Monroe County about the tax bills that needed to be re-levied, they have assured me that they are going to reach out to every single person that is from our community and make sure that they get a formal letter from Monroe County letting them know that that's happening. Um, I asked them if there were any ways in which um they could make a new bill. Like we talked about, could these folks just be relevied since it was a mistake, a printing error, there really isn't. um we called all the way up to the state of New York and I did get replies back that once that levy kind of happens, it can't happen again. There's no other mechanism for that to occur. So, I did

004want you to know that we researched it as deeply as we could all the way up to the state level. Uh and that I was guaranteed by Monroe County that they will be reaching out to the families that were impacted by that levy not being reestablished at the county level. Thank you. Thank you. uh wanted to do a brief discussion or uh chat about the board self-evaluation that's coming up. We are uh doing we do that yearly. Sue will be sending out that evaluation this evening I think at 6:30. Um so if we could all make an effort to get those um completed and submitted and spend some time on that and how you think things are going that will be helpful in a reevaluation of our board this year. Um, when we get that

005uh submitted back and we're on uh a good course to complete that, I think we will start the superintendent evaluation. I'm trying to space them out a little so we're not hit with one after the other. Um, questions or concerns about that? Is the board evaluation done through Google forms again this year? Just the same way that we've done it. I know we discussed briefly maybe going to the um superale for that. We have not done that. We're going to do it the same way. And I thought that was important too just for some consistency in rating ourselves that we're not changing the platform that we're rating ourselves. Um especially given that we wanted to make some improvements. I thought it would be better if we were rating ourselves from the same uh form. Although

006I don't think it's a perfect form. I think we can improve upon it but not this year. Is that fair? Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Thank you. Um there's no public forum so we're going to move on to superintendence report. Dr. Chanel. Yeah. So I just want to invite Dr. Capron to speak a little bit about the property tax report card since you are going to vote this evening to amend it. I wanted to give him an opportunity to talk a little bit about the amendments that he has made and why he has made those and give you an opportunity to ask any questions of him before we go into the voting component. So Dr. Thank you, friend. Good. So, from the time the the state education department originally put out an Excel template to use, which

007they still have published on their website, but they also have and we're also required to file the T property tax gap information on the state aid reports and as a SAMS report for one of the official forms we do. And on that form, they clarified a couple of points. Um, one is that they wanted to see they recommended putting the teacher retirement reserve um, in a separate line called an other reserve rather than combining it with the employee retirement reserve for New York State. The second even though the original law had the TRS account as a sub account under ERS. So I've separated that out into two lines. The uh other part that was a clarification is at the top up in the middle of the report where you put in the restricted totals. They

008clarified that the uh amount there should be at the beginning of the school year, not the end of the school year. So the 2526 amount was amended to be um those we would expect on June 30th versus June 30th of 2026. So that that was an estimate in any case. And finally, uh there was an error where the uh employee benefit retirement account total was c was interled with the New York State employee retirement account and so they were on the wrong line and so that's been fixed. So those are really the three changes. Thank you. Questions about that? No. Thank you. Thank you. Anything else for your superintendent report? No. Okay, we're going to move on to new business. We're going to talk about that or approve the property tax report card. Um, resolve

009that the board of education upon the recommendation of the superintendent approved the 2025 2026 property tax report card as amended. May I have a motion, please? I'll make it. I have a second. Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? That motion is carried. We're moving on to number two, approval of transportation services agreement. Resolve that the board of education approves the written agreement between CN Transportation in the Calon Mford Central School District for emergency transportation needs and authorizes the superintendent of schools to execute this execute the same and to execute an extension to the agreement for another 30 days. May I have a motion, please? Yeah, I'll make a movement. Can I have a second? Second. Any discussion? It's It's expensive. It is. Um, all in favor say I. I. Any
