001Good evening. Welcome to the uh Wilson Central School District Board of Education meeting for Tuesday, August 12th, 2025. My name is Tim Carter, superintendent of schools. Um, as I usually mention, if there's no one really in the audience except the admin team, but if you're at home viewing this, you have a common question or concern, please don't hesitate to call uh the central office at 7519399. Um, and Mrs. Pano will get your comment, question, or concern to the board. At this time, I'll turn board meeting over to President Carver. >> Thank you, Superintendent Carter. Please stand and join me in the pledge of I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the for it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Um, we have
002a special presentation title presentation. Good evening everyone. Um so I am going to present on the um title one expenditures and awards that we have. Uh this is part of the um ESSA grant is that we present the board meeting and we post it on the website. So Bonnie will be doing that for me um this week. Uh so the um there are four components to the title one. Um so there's title one part A which the funds need to be used to improve academic achievement. Um, title two part A will be we transfer to title one. Um, title three is uh for the English language learner achievement. So that is what it specifically is for. And then title four and part A also gets transferred to title one. Um so this year we have
003the title one allocations um from the federal government. So uh Wilson is receiving um $188,920. Um right now uh we only have the title one funding available to us. So due to the delay in the allocations from the US department of education um two three and four uh there is no available information right now per the email that we received from the New York State Education Department. Um the districts will be or the districts and alas will be informed of any updates as time goes on. Um so how we um how Wilson uses these expenditures um we transfer uh title two and title 4 um to title one. So when those when that information is available um we will share that and um we will finish the application um with those numbers but right now
004we do not have that available information. Um so this is the the funding um how it's used specifically in Wilson. So for title 1A um the funding is used for the elementary reading instruction uh the intervention teachers uh employee benefits for those employees. We do also use um homeless student reserve and then lastly we use purchase services for for private school students who qualify for title one. There are nine of those students this year. So we get an allocation uh per people that we send out and then the um the programs private schools uh use that funding for those students in need um programs, tutoring, things of that nature. So that that's what the funding is for that. Um like I mentioned title two is transferred to title one. Uh title three when it becomes
005available those are specific for the English language learners in the consortium. Uh so we live here. Um so we uh purchase materials are YLL teachers purchase materials um to all of those students um when those that funding is available and then again title 4 gets transferred back into title. And that is everything. Any questions? >> How did our uh monies compare last year? >> It did go down. Um there was there was a reduction that was across the board. um you can um search all of the schools uh in New York State and what the funding is available on the New York State Education website. Um overall all numbers went down across the board. So So we did have we did have a reduction. >> Do you foresee any other of the other parks that
006are available now going down? >> They haven't really said anything about it. Um that could be possible because the other funds did decrease. Um the the title three is normally pretty steady because we're in that consortium and they take the funding and split it up. Um title two and title four are are vary year to year. So there there could be a possibility that reduction. >> So um we use like I mentioned we use the funding for um our AS teachers primarily in the um elementary building. Um, so I worked with Carolyn kind of to talk about what it looks like since we had that title one reduction in that going forward. Um, and so just kind of looking at what we have available to cover those things. >> Thank you everyone. >> Thank you.

Thank you, Superintendent Carter, for your report. I'll
015use it since we put it up. Um I just want to start by thanking the leadership team for everything um this summer. Um, it may look like we're relaxed, but you know, summer's just as busy as the school year. It's just that the kids aren't here. Um, and while you may be able to sneak a vacation in here and there, there's still a lot that goes into getting this place ready to go for the kids come back. So, I want to thank them for everything they uh they do. We had our uh our annual uh leadership team retreat. Um, actually, it was kind of split with two. a good number of the administrators went down to Alcat Bill um for Erie 1's retreat and then the following week I think it was the following week
016on August 4th and 5th we had our retreat here in Wilson. I think the summer cold is coming up. Um and it was a little bit of a different retreat. We changed it up a little bit and made it more of a working session and things like that. did quite a bit with the cell phone policy. Um quite the court conduct for next year um and you know we just kind of spent some time what we don't always have to take a deep dive into certain things and thought it was great. Second day we had our um leadership lunch with the uh current and retired u administrators. Um Mr. Ross set up and uh it was actually he was able to attend this year cuz he wasn't on vacation. Um and it was great. It
017was great seeing Dr. W. Um Mike was there. Um I'm like there was Charlie was there. Charlie was there. That was a treat seeing him. Um unfortunately Dan's working right now, so Mr. Johnson's uh wasn't available, but it was great seeing them and uh I I enjoy the place we go to. It's just fields in uh in lock. So, goal setting session is coming up on the 26th of August is going to start at 5:00. Um board members, you know, if you just mark your calendars, 5:00 start, it will be 5:00 sharp. Uh food's coming at 4:45. We'll eat right away. Um it'll be more of a working uh meal. Um I'll start by 510 after I'll start with my presentation about you know the roles and responsibilities of the admin team leadership team and
018the roles and responsibilities of the board member which I usually you know kind of go through first. We'll have the uh and leadership team um take questions about the LA the 2425 um uh comprehensive educational uh plan that will be in your news and notes. Um I'm not going to spend time having each one of them report out on it for the sheer fact that it's written there. Um I don't like being read to either. So I'll put it in news and notes the week prior. So you have a chance to read it, take a look at it, and if there's any questions you have, you can ask him that question. Barring any questions, we're going to move right into this the 256 goals. Um it shortens it. My hope is it shortens it a
019bit. Um that last week there's a lot going on and there's quite a bit of light events that uh the administrator have to be at. So if I could shorten that a little bit and get them home or at least move in without it being dark out, it would be uh it'd be helpful. So, my goal is, you know, if we get we started at 5, um, by 6:37 we're out of there. So, that that's my hope. Um, but I would require you to read the CE plan before you come in on that day. So, but you'll have it the Friday before, so you'll get the chance to look at it. And, uh, lastly, um, district and building level uh, safety plans were approved this tonight. This is just a general reminder. The district plan
020is a public plan that goes on our website. The building level plan which is much more specific um of what we do if there is an emergency that is not a public document. Those are private um only board members and staff and administrators have access to that. Um so that should not be communicated. It was put into your executive portion of your uh of your news and notes and board docs. So if you did take a look at it, that's great. We didn't see it. It's in the executive session. We can't put it in a public meeting for everybody to see. So that's just a little reminder. The details of what we do in emergency, you know, that's what the staff needs to know. We've got something to send out to the public. And that's
021everything I have unless you have questions. Question. Okay. Thank you, Superintendent Carter. Um, again, I'd like to thank you what you said. Thank you the leadership team for all the hard work over the summer. Um, Todd, please thank your folks for the hard work they did. You can see it. No question about it. Um, and the first day of school is going up. First day of teachers is the third or second. >> The second It's the second Tuesday the 2nd and I'll put in news and notes but all board members are welcome to join us for that morning um you know first thing 8:00 in the morning um as I do my opening introduction. >> Okay, this brings us to the public session board member comment. I'd like to thank the board for sending me
022to the law conference the other day. It was very informative. Uh the first session was basically all about changes coming out of Albany and how to react to them. Uh it was very good and also went to the part about negotiating contracts which was very very informative. They did a group session where they actually did an actual negotiations a lot negotiations and that was very good. Uh again I'd like to thank or the district for signing me to that. And also, I hate to say it, but I won't be at the 26th meeting. >> We will miss you. >> I'm going on a long needed vacation. >> Awesome. Just to echo uh what uh Trusty Crab said, um the if you were um registered for it, they sent all the power points. board members. I'll
023I'll send that out. You'll get a call for all the sessions. I'll just forward it the email.
