001Um, welcome to the Tuesday, June 17th, 2025 Holiday Board of Education meeting. I am calling the meeting to order. Please stand. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One indivisible with liberty and justice. There's a phone. Okay. President Clemens here. Trusty Copper here. Just Clemenson here. Um, actually I know haven't looked at the agenda in the past couple of hours, but as it stands now, are we should be good? We're good. Okay. All right. So, um, may we have the recommended action to approve the agenda? Be it resolved that upon the recommendation of the interim superintendent of schools, the board of education hereby approves the agenda as written. So moved. Second. All those in favor? I. Any opposed? So um so for
002those who are watching the video, we actually started a little bit early. Uh not really of of the the meeting exactly, but just a few of us here to recognize um uh the tenure recommendations that are on the agenda later on tonight. and got to meet and talk to Kristen Spooner and Erin Casey and their families and as well as hear from their principles about all the wonderful things they bring to the district and that's always a really nice um event um that we have at the end of the year. So um often at the start of a meeting I'll make note about some of the special events that have happened recently in the district um and express gratitude for the work behind those events. But um with this being the last board meeting of
003the school year, uh I instead want to express gratitude to really all the people who do the work, the day in and dayout work dayto-day. So the teachers, the teaching assistants, teachers aids, cafeteria workers, maintenance and and transportation staff, as well as everyone else who are just really here, you know, doing all the the good work um uh that that um that happened at how every day. Um, I have some other end of the year comments, but I'm going to save those for board reflections. And then I guess the only other thing that I want to uh note is that um, uh, this is the last meeting of the 2425 school year, but on July 1st, the board will have its reorganization meeting, our annual reorganization meeting on Tuesday, July 1st. It'll be here at
0046:30 in the middle school high school library. Um it will also include this is important the public hearing that we have every year um for the 25 2025 2026 code of conduct and extracurricular code of conduct and it will be our new superintendent first day and first board meeting. So clearly Dr. Duffy has is doing some some lots of prep work to come to Haldane which we appreciate. So Mr. Carlano. Sure. Sure. I just have some brief comments. I I thought being that it's the last meeting of the school year and my last meeting with the district, I thought it'd be a good idea just to kind of look back at where we started last last summer. And uh you know, some of the goals. I think you know, sometimes you have to stop and
005reflect and and and take a look and and realize, you know, how far you've come. Um so ju just a quick summary of the goals. And this is nothing new to the board, but for the community, I I think it's important that that we review this. Um when I arrived, uh the board did talk about three three main goals for the year. One one was the capital project referendum. The other was establishing a pre-K program and the third, of course, the superintendent search and and securing a superintendent and then helping that person transition and become acclimated. And I I must say I really think we've done a great job uh with all of these and and it truly was a team effort. You congratulated the staff um staff, faculty, admin team, board, you know, it
006really was a collaborative effort. So the capital project just to give you a quick summary there um we met just last week. Uh schematic designs you may recall are complete. Right now we're in design development phase which should last maybe one or two more weeks. Then that will be completed and then they move into construction development and budget development which will take place July, August, September. But we are on schedule by October, November. Uh you should be able to submit plans to state ed. the turnaround time has has become shorter, which which is a positive thing we're hearing from the architects. And it looks very likely that by December or January, if you receive state approval, then you could get out there and and bid the job. And that gives you plenty of advance time
007because most of the heavy construction will begin next summer. And bidding five or six months in advance will help you get the best pricing. So, with that, um, I think you're in a very good place. And all I ask is after the new wing is open, I I told Dr. Duffy, I do want an invite and and I I do want to see the the the new beautiful space firsthand. Pre kindergarten, um, I'd like to take credit for it, but Miss Jamman really did the bulk of this work from start to finish. the planning, uh, the communication to parents, the curriculum alignment, the design of of the new classroom. So much went into this and and you I'm proud to say that we're going to welcome 18 four year olds uh in September with the
008first time ever prek program. It's very exciting and and I think academically you you're going to see a real difference with with curriculum aligned. I think those students really are going to get a a strong foundation. Uh and then there's work aligning as they move up into kindergarten and first grade because I I think the foundational skills will be there. Um so that's exciting. And uh thirdly, the superintendent search the board really did that working with Northern Westchester Boseies and and Lynn and Neil. Um but then I I kind of stepped in. I was glad that we secured Dr. Duffy back in March. It's given thus far I've had six um at least half days with Dr. Duffy. Irvington has been great and they've allowed her to be here on site. Not only has she
009met with me, she's met with the admin team, our legal council, all the various departments and she'll be here again on Thursday doing more transitions and planning for that reorg. So it won't be, you know, just jumping in cold because she will have a background and um I I just I I get a sense that Dr. Duffy is is going to do an amazing job here and and it's very exciting and and her enthusiasm shows. Also, there's been a few extra things. Um we had the NAERTA energy study which which I really think was valuable and I'm glad that the board was able to, you know, receive all that information. I think the district definitely has a blueprint for future projects that could be energy efficient, lower your carbon footprint. Um part of the budget
010potentially bonds down the road. Uh but I think you you definitely have a good idea of what things uh make sense as far as you know um being you know efficient with energy. Also, what we have, and I I I was hoping to have closure on these before I left, but we have the EPA grant for $680,000, which would help offset the cost of four electric buses. We're really hopeful there is no news as of just an hour ago. I checked before the meeting. I was just hoping to deliver good news. Um, but I think, you know, even if you don't get it this year, I would strongly recommend reapply with that grant money and EPA and NAERTA combined. I do think it'll make sense and you could start transitioning to electric. Uh, smaller amount,
011but still not insignificant. We have a $20,000 grant into Dana Levvenberg's office, Assembly Levvenberg. Um, I I'm very optimistic that's to help with prek startup cost because there was some extra things and curriculum and materials and uh Dana Levenberg is is a big supporter of education, former board member herself. So, uh, we should get an answer from that within a few weeks as well and I hopefully that will come through. So, lastly, I will just say it's been a true honor for me. I I I I need to thank this board for the opportunity. Uh, I've thoroughly enjoyed the year. Uh, meeting students like Mark and Scotia who are going to be up here in a minute and getting I haven't gotten to know all the students, but um, the ones I have have just
012been truly amazing and uh, the admin team, the faculty, the staff in general has just been wonderful. So, I I think it's been a successful year and I wish you well. And I said this to Dr. Duffy and and Peggy, but the whole board, I am available. Um, if you, you know, have a question, some of these initiatives, just want a little history, please don't hesitate to reach out. It would be a pleasure to, you know, have a phone conversation and be helpful because, uh, you have some exciting things happening here. And that's all. Thank you so much. Thank you. Um, so now, oh actually, so yes, so now we're going to move into the presentations from our student advisors starting with validictorian Marking together. Oh, it's on the agenda. It's two separate. Sorry about
013that. Didn't mean to bring a new plan on you. We're just gonna about these things. So on Wednesday, May 21st, we had an amazing showing at the annual Palate Arts Alliance Awards and many of the students had the opportunity to perform. And so, as you know, um the challenge just blew us all away. So, that was really great. Um um and we celebrated our seniors on Friday, May 29th at the annual senior dinner. Thank you to the PTA, um specifically Rebecca Pierce and both Heather Ferrer for their organization support. Uh, thank you to the Holiday School Foundation, the Lans family for their generous grant and donation. Yeah. So, we um watched our like gift of memories video there. It was really special. And so, I know Micah for her internship had to do part-time with
014at the school and she worked with um Miss Pearl to get the video together. Um, and then also the Lansson family, they um basically donated their space to us to use for our dinner. So, that was really special. and it's like nice to have, you know, senior family representation to host us all and that was great. Um, and then our annual literary magazine was published. Um, if you haven't already received one and would like to, um, they're available. Um, and thank you to Miss Pierce, Miss Martinez, and Miss Booth for their hard work and dedication to the magazine. And this year we had students um our students dedicated our magazine to um Miss Kelly Martin, the attendance aid and greeter. Um we had many successful um clubs at our school this year. The Habitat Rival
015Club did a great job at bringing back the goats for the spring season to clean up that patch coming back. Um as well the sen the junior and senior prom was uh incredible at Hotel Fer. I feel like it was nice to keep the photos at Bosco Bell, the scenery and such, but going to the hotel, it felt um more spacious and many people agreed that they enjoyed it um this year a lot more than last year. So, that was great. And finally, on Tuesday, um the seniors well had the opportunity to gather and celebrate their full last day of school. Um so, we're just thankful to all the seniors and the teachers that made it possible for us to like cook breakfast for the teachers, to our pranks, slip down the hill, all really
016fun. Um we also had our yearbook distributed um at the senior dinner and the picnic and we want to thank Miss Gesi and Morrow for leading um the yearbook club this year and mostly every year um but this year it was um dedicated to Miss Martinez as well which is very special. Um and then we also want to congratulate our Boseies graduates Anatolihoff Jaden trailering Tyler Hyatt Harley Sage Frederick's Catherine Horton and investment. And we also want to congratulate our senior of the year, Dominica Almanach. Um, and she was chosen by our housing faculty staff. And then on June 11th, uh, the geometry students took their, um, the new geometry regions, um, exam. And, um, this provided time for, um, the science department to review both the living environmental, earth science regions, um, and it
017just allowed time for Mark Patnella. Um, we thank him a lot as well to organizing post science department to get through bringing the regions in the wrong manner. Yeah. So yeah, all the rest of the schools I guess just taking exams and so that's it. Yeah. Did you all like having graduation on on Friday night and stuff like that? Had you been to graduation when it was on a Saturday morning? No. Yeah, on Saturday morning but I think I heard that it was a really long time. Long ago. Yeah. No, I was just wondering I because I really I heard I heard a lot of people really liked Friday night graduation. I didn't know you all might have been the start of a new Yeah, like it prepared the whole weekends like with family and
018friends. Um but it was great. Yeah. And the weather was nice. Yeah, the definitely because I mean last last year's graduation I remember having just a big sunburn from and like right before it was pretty brutal and I'm sure and even in the gowns it was humid for us but it wasn't like unbearable because it was it was definitely cooler but it was I think a nicer change too and it was it was kind of fun to do something different as well when the sun's Yeah. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Um and how are y'all's um internship experiences? I mean we're kind of different because we both did ours with our parents. Um, but I mean I still had a lot that I learned and my parents are like they take it very seriously. So, I
019still definitely got full like internship experience, but um yeah, it was it was really nice um especially just to spend time with my family, but I also I've achieved all my goals and I mean I've I'm definitely excited to go into like a similar field and I also like it it opened up more opportunities and I I mean my parents always ask me, are you going to be an architect? And it's actually funny hearing all like the schematic designs, the DDR like those are my buzz words I hear all the time. So, um but yeah, it's like it's it's nice too because I I haven't like thrown out architecture part of my like uh career future career endeavors I guess. So yeah, it's definitely nice to you get to get those last. Did it give
020in you insight into your parents by working with it? Oh yeah, it's like I've been hearing since I 18 years ago since I was born, right? They have their little business and like they keep saying the same things and I'm like oh whatever that is right now. I was like now I know how how their business works. Um, like I got to do a bunch of different things like from the dirty work and accounting and stuff and to the to like actual like events and operations since they have like a travel company. It was really fun and I got to see like what they've been doing for the past 18 years and like oh this is really cool. Um, so they're like um a travel um company they do with like um corporate travel specifically
021like pharmaceuticals from Spain. Um, so I got to get some hands-on experience in um Chicago. They had like a convention there from college. So was fun. Cool. Now Scotia, you you mentioned that you know you were working with your parents, but really you know I mean just about James's other really important job as a bag piper. Did uh have you taken up the pipes? I mean, he if he's ever gonna watch this, he's going to get mad at me. Join and like I I'd love to, but it's it's a hard it's a really hard. I mean, it would be like definitely a fun talent to say and I can play the scale. There we go. How many how many times have we had a Piper lead the kids out of gold? It was really awesome,
022too, because I was talking to Miss Tiffan in the beginning of the year and we just popped the idea. What if we had him like walk us back out because we've never had like I liked that. Usually everybody just I love it. I like it was really nice and um now there's always the joke to say like they're gonna pipe us out. So yeah, it was really special. It was great. Your speeches were beautiful. Congratulations. really well done. Thank you guys so much. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations, guys. Congratulations, guys. So, we're now at the first opportunity for communication from the public. The Halding Board of Education desires and values input from the entire school community. The first public comment session is reserved for comments and special presentations and active agenda items for anyone who
023wish to address the board. We'd ask you to sign in and state your name. To avoid disparaging remarks and discussion of personnel um and to leave your contact information so that we can get in touch with you to follow up. Um next on our agenda are the administrator information reports that everyone has access to. Um, I'll have to say, as is often the case, just some great things in there to look at. Some real successes. Um, I think it's really actually a lot of really from Mr. Cunningham about some of the successes of our sports teams at the end of the year. I mean, there's good stuff in all of them. Oh, and very exciting. Um, the new the curriculum for the science of reading. Yeah, this really a big this is a big year,
024man. lot going on. We anticipate the decision only came recently and we wanted to give the teachers time for some feedback and a chance to say like all right this is what we're saying we'd like to adopt. So still it's still in this state. Well they had that chance but not with enough time for us to then put together a presentation okay for you. So this board report is here but we'll put together a formal presentation for the fall. We wanted you to at least have the information so that then as we plan PD and all of those things for the fall, you're not uninformed that that's the direction. Yeah. And I thought it was a really nice layout of like the rationale for Florida and and this and yeah, it was great. So, but
025you'll get more details in a formal report. Great. To thank you very much for that. All right. So, we're going to move into consent this one. Do we do I never remember. Do we have to do the second before the rest of us do we have to make a motion before the rest of us chime in with anything? Oh, no, no, no. This this is just this is there no there's no motion on this. Yes. I was waiting. I didn't hear anything. Go ahead. Yes. There's no there's we're not taking action. So, you can just speak. Yeah. Okay. Um Dr. Si, was this the first year that the eighth graders did a dinner dance? No. So, yeah. No. No, it's happened before. Okay. It happened before, but during co there was a hiatus of the
026dinner dance. Okay. Okay. I knew there was a dance. I didn't know it was a dinner dance. Um, I don't think it happened last year. They the Yeah, at St. Mary's they did. Yeah. Okay. And what's the re keying? I know Adam's not here, but what's the re keying project? But that's the doors. Well, they're starting like the exterior doors and then ultimately plan to do movement to interior doors as well. Okay. Thank you. I guess that self-explanatory. No, I mean it could have been something a long time and um probably more widespread key access than we should have and so just working on some I think tightening up that it's been a while and yeah yeah I mean the the safety is it's one of these ongoing as you can yeah one of these
027ongoing things but yeah um they have been busy the swipes have obviously changed a lot now so Sounds good. Thank you. Um I apologize for these too quickly. So now we're going to go into um oh next actually we're not moving into consent agenda. Next is actually the committee minutes and there's a lot of stuff in that the committees have been doing. Um as were you were you at the last wellness comm? I was. That is that that well set undertaking that was really Dr. did a pretty good job in reading that and and kind of pulling uh there's massive amounts of information. Some things we've discussed were a little like we could tweak or what wasn't a huge hit but really uh was a massive undertaking and obviously credit goes to the committee to
028really doing that work. Well, I know the committee has wanted the policy to be to to really make sure the policy is the wellness policy is really reflecting sort of what's happening and that was really a multistep. I actually went and you know did a little looking into what it is but that's a really a big undertaking for anybody who and wellness is a thing that is constantly being updated. you know, we learn new information and then also the community has actually a good amount of information, knowledge and also opinions about it. Um, and it's it's good to really get a decent pulse about what's happening and where we kind of expect to go with wellness. Yeah. Well, thanks to everybody on the tech technology committee, the wellness committee, and the code of conduct committee.
029Um, and so now we'll move consent agenda minutes. Um, may I have a motion, please? To move. Second. All those in favor? I I Any opposed? Uh, consent agenda financial. May I have a motion, please? So moved. Second. Um, once again, thanks very much to the Haneian School Foundation. We have two out of cycle grants that they've provided. One is for the Haldane Forest Loop, which I actually didn't really even know we I mean I knew theoretically that we own that land, but I didn't always anyway that's very interesting and exciting to be taking advantage of that um uh that space. And then uh more work around the Lori Esler outdoor classroom which I have to say anytime I come onto campus I feel like there's always somebody there. So we're utilizing our space really
030well. It's it's really nice to see and and continued support by the community to get our kids outside as much as possible. Yeah. I mean it's great. Is there anything else? the rest of it is um just important things but not things we need to talk about. Um so all those in favor I I any opposed? All right and next is um consent agenda personnel. I have a motion please. So moved. Second. So on here we have the tenure recognitions that that we um uh already got to celebrate a little bit. Um and very um I mean lots of things but also very exciting is the um approval to create the position of director of technology and CIO position uh that Leah Horn will be taking over after her many years of of working as
031a TOSA in in many of these capacities. Um and yeah that's is there anything else I want to you know um actually also important honestly the appointment of our head cleaners which is actually a really important position. Um those people do really important work and we appreciate them stepping up to the plate to take on these additional responsibilities. Um yeah that's it. Um, I got took the motion. All right. All those in favor? I I Any oppose? Congratulations. And thanks very much to Marian and Christine for, you know, I mean, I know getting granting tenure to your teachers is a nice thing, but it's really nice always to hear all the great things you all have to say and to get to read what you write. Um, and it's it I think we do it
032well and it's really positive to see, you know, tenure is not a guarantee and it's a commitment by a school district. I think it's really it's really wonderful when we're able to acknowledge great teaching and then accept tenure. I think it's great. Yeah, it's great. It's a this is a nice meeting. Um, so now we're moving into new business and we have the cse CPSE recommendations. May we have a recommended action please? Be it resolved that upon the recommendation of the interim superintendent of schools. The board of education hereby approves the recommendations of the committees on special education and preschool special education as presented. So moved. Oh yeah. Second. Second. That's fine. Uh all those in favor I I any opposed? All right. So next is policy review two policies. It's the first reading of
033both. Um and my reading of what's in executive content is that has the policy committee hasn't had a chance to see these. Is that right, Michelle? We looked at them. You all didn't see them. Okay. because of the way it was written, it sounded like maybe they had come in and they had just gone to other places and we needed to act on them, but that's not Yes, that happened. But they did have an opportunity to review them before this. Okay. Um, and actually, I'll be honest, there's some more information here. I hadn't, but these I mean, as usual, these are policies that are written by Erie One. They these are laws that and regulations that has to follow. Um I know um anyway the internet I'll tell you the internet enabled devices I know
034that's going to be a challenge for the district and but we do have to this is one of those policies that we do adopt is there anything that you wanted to add Michelle I don't know I mean it's it's been part of the policy committee meeting also the code of conduct committee meeting which is interesting Julia presented the results of the um the survey which I mean there was opinions that you We're varied, but I feel like by and large there is um a lot of support in the community. Oh, for for doing this. Oh, really? All right. All right. That's good. Oh, actually, and in fact, I've read those committee minutes, the code of conduct, and you raised a really good point in the minutes from the code of conduct. Michelle's comment is, will
035the teachers, what was it? Will the teachers model model good, right? Like like phone, you know, help. Yeah, I thought that was a really smart, right? And just, you know, if if the goal of all of this is to increase kind of face-toface interaction, you know, is is it really just about the students or is it kind of a broader culture issue? That's a great question. So something that just has to get figured out over time all these discussions. Yeah. Yeah. Um so first reading and that's actually really good. So we we I will act on these at the reorg meeting. So announce the second opportunity for communication for the public which can be on any district matter. So I'm gonna actually end up sort of talking about a lot of the same things Carl
036said, but I'll be brief about it. Um uh so this is my opportunity to thank Mr. Albano for his service to the district this year. Um I say this all the time. I think being superintendent of school district has to be one of the hardest jobs in the United States. I mean I really it is such a hard job. You need to be successful. You need to have all these, you know, you need to be emotionally intelligent and have all these interpersonal skills, but you need to have expertise and experience in teaching and learning, human resources, buildings and grounds, school district finance, policy and law, and and be able to really interact with so many different people of all different kinds of ages and families and staff and it's a and interact with a board
037of education, you know. Um, and I really believe that Helen was so fortunate to have Mr. Albano to have you as our interim superintendent this year. From the very beginning, he was dealing with very typical and actually kind of not always not so typical problems that school districts encounter that it really require knowledge and expertise and Mr. Albano came to us with such a deep well of of of that. Um and I think you know I think it benefited the district. You know you know as one can imagine school district um as one can imagine superintendents are are different and they bring different perspectives and different ways of interacting with us. And um I know that I and and I hope other people in the district and on the board um have the opportunity to
038learn some new ways of thinking about how we how we do things. you know, like it's it's good to have different perspectives and to sort of bring in a fresh set of eyes and you know, we had the opportunity to do that, albeit for a brief period of time. Um, so together with the administrative team and the staff and the community and the board, you know, it wasn't a partnership. You know, I agree we we accomplished some really uh important milestones. We passed a capital project bond referendum and started the really work the real work to begin those projects. completed and received the results from the flex study that we conducted in part with the funds from the New York State um energy and research energy research and development authority, the NAERTA. Um the preK
039uh the Mr. Albano has done so work to help transition to our new superintendent, Dr. Duffy. The work around the buses, you know, whenever people came to the district and wanted to have a meeting or talk something about something and Mr. Albano was always willing to meet with them and listen and then to react and respond not just react but then to respond to to to what they learned and heard in those meetings. Um you know and he mentioned the grant proposals that um you know if they come through uh will certainly help reduce the high costs of making the transition to electron electric buses but even if something happens and they don't we learned so much this year. So, I am really grateful and you know, I've tried throughout the year to thank you,
040but I did want to more formally give a a formal thanks and so um yeah, the 24 25 school years done. Thank you so much. It's been my pleasure. My pleasure. Thank you for your kind words. You're welcome. I'll add my thanks just being, you know, first year board member. I found you particularly approachable and available even, you know, despite how busy you were. you were always there to respond to my questions, pick up the phone, answer my email. So, I thank you for that. You are a very good superintendent to have during my first year on the board and you shepherd us shepherd us through the capital project very well. So, here we are. Thank you very much. There was huge advantage of bringing Carl in. Uh Carl has institutional knowledge um that uh
041was invaluable in the capital project. um and also just in in in in how we hire and and how we understand job roles and things like that. So, you've you've really brought uh incredible knowledge and you're calm. Carl is a very pres Yeah. So, it's calm guy which is very good. um and and just a um he's warm, he's calm, he has institutional knowledge. You're you're you really are a very good uh interim superintendent. So, you you you rolled in, you you you're rolling out uh and you've made the place better. Yeah, I think and this was a tough place to make better. And I think you did I think you did a good job. I appreciate I really appreciate those words. I I'm I'm not comfortable being the focus, but but I deeply appre
042appreciate and and it's been a great year. Good. Yeah. Good. It's it's actually it's also I have to say it's very gratifying. We've had some other people who've come in and be interums and it's always very gratifying to hear what a meaningful experience it is for people. Like it's something for us to feel proud about, you know, for people to come in and spend a year or a year or two here and then talk about how that how the experience was positive for them and I'm glad it wasn't positive experience for you. Incredibly positive. Yes. Great. So I think Oh, do you have any Oh, is there anything else anybody wanted to add? I just want to say I thought graduation was incredible. just about everybody involved in graduation. Um, and I I'll I'll forget
043everybody's name, but just just know that it it is an incredible opportunity for this community to come together. I mean, people who don't have kids are sitting up on that hill, right? I mean, that's what's wild. And uh they uh there's there's something magical about that. bringing bringing in the guys who are on their 50th uh uh year reunion, you know, that's really cool. And uh you can tell that and there were moments in that graduation that were very emotional. Yes. Wild. Wildly emotional. And the the just the community behind those kids at that moment is special. And so, thank you to everybody who uh think a lot of really did that undertaking for graduation. It was very nice. Yeah. Thanks, Ezra. May I just because I didn't say anything earlier, but can I speak
044about Leo Lehorn? Yeah. Oh, I mean No, no, no, no. This is a We already said you were in No, I I just I just need to say thank you to the board for for supporting, you know, the proposal. It was recommended through the budget process and and you've heard me say this before, but technology has the demands have grown exponentially for for school districts. And Leah, who started as a science teacher, am I correct? Yes.
