001I will now call the annual organizational meeting to order. The board members Terelli K Talbet and newly appointed student board member Leap have signed their constitutional oath of office forms. I would call for nominations for the president of the board of education for the 24 20 25 26 school year. >> I'd like to make a nomination for president, Mr. Hal Talbot. >> Second it. Any other nominations? >> Favor. >> I >> Any not in favor? Motion passed. Hal Tab has been elected president of the board of education. I'll now turn this meeting over to I remember my name plate this year. Thank you everybody. I appreciate your support as we head into this uh challenging year. But I look forward to this. Welcome to Mike and Mike. Not in the morning, but to Mike and
002Mike. We appreciate you here and look forward to a great year. So at this time, moving on in the reorg meeting. Uh I will take nomination please for vice president. >> I nominate Kim vice president >> and a second. Second. >> Thank you. Any other nominations for V? >> All right. None of this. >> I work. So move. Congratulations, Kim. >> Thank you guys. >> All right. Please on item number five to appoint officers A through Q. >> I'd like to make a motion to appoint officers A through Q.

003VP. So, I'm happy to unless somebody else wants to hop on there. >> All right. So, we'll put Chad down as the council rep and then an alternate. Okay. Thank you. And then item number K, we need to appoint somebody for the board of education representative for the health and safety. Thank you. That was okay. Yeah. And then we need to go to O and O to ask two people uh to be on the policy committee.

Uh we know that you know so Pam would be uh and then the other two >> I would like to >> Chad. Okay. Thank you.
004third person to volunteer number six. That would be A through O. >> Like to make a motion for the other appointments. Uh number six A through O. >> Thanks a second. >> I'll second. >> Thank you. All in favor. >> Anyone? Oop. Sorry. Question. >> Was good to make a comment >> because um my concern is that as for the agreement I always find it interesting the reorg does the appointments but then the next meeting does the actual agreements themselves because I don't have any issue with the appointments per se. I have issues with some of the agreements with respect to the appointments. So, I will vote to accept the appointments, but I may not necessarily vote to accept the agreements themselves. I just wanted to make that clear. >> Okay. So, we'll bring that
005up at the the next meeting when we do the Okay, perfect. Thanks, Kim. Anything else? >> All right. All >> Anyone opposed or abstain? Okay. Uh, let's see. Item number seven.

I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty. All right. So, at this time, we will open up the first hearing in privilege of the floor for the new school year. Remind everybody that it is 30 minutes. Each person that would like to address the board, please step to the podium, give us your name, your address, and you have five minutes to address the board. [Music] >> All right, I'll close the first hearing to the floor. Remind everybody that we will have one towards the end of the meeting. And at this time, I
009will turn it over to Superintendent Schwarz for her comments. >> Thank you, Mr. Cha. And I'm going to uh provide you with a brief presentation this evening regarding our reimagining of our schools committee maybe. I want to thank the board uh for their grace this week. got an email to you. Um, but I would appreciate the additional time and I want to share with you that my um vision for what we do tonight is we uh create a spot on our website that basically has this title re reimagining our schools and that all of the work that is subsequently done will be on that spot that will be one of our sources of information. So, the purpose of this committee is going to be to serve as a vehicle for determining the future use of
010the district's elementary schools. Um, you notice I am not saying closure. I don't know. Closure is certainly a distinct possibility given the items that we've talked about, but you also know there are other things I'm interested in uh in terms of what we might do in repurposing that space. So, I want to talk a little bit about the goals and objectives. These are also in the U memo that's in your portal as of this afternoon and then I think you all have a copy uh here and I'm certainly not going to read them to you, but I want to talk a little bit about where this comes from. There are actually commissioner regulations in New York state ed law which pertains to consideration of closing the school. So in my research about those topics, I
011have looked for what appears to be, if you will, the crux of u minimally what folks should be looking at and considering and thinking about if in fact they're going to look at either repurposing or closing a school. So these five items and these five items come out of that reading and preparation for what it is we want to be thinking about if in fact we are going to close a school because quite honestly closing the building is the easiest piece. redistributing children, staff, uh answering some of the questions in terms of transition, special education programs, support staff, who goes where, who does what, transportation, what will the new attendance boundaries look like. Those really are the nuts and bolts pieces of um not just closing a school, but then figuring out what you're going
012to do with the children who were in that school. So, it's not quite as simple, I know you know this, as we just pick everybody up out of one building and move them to another building. We would really see this as a time to consider our attendance boundaries, to look um distribution of students to talk uh potentially about even um as one of the principles asked me today, would it be possible to talk about maybe a different grade level configuration? Yes. Yes, it will be possible to have those discussions. What it won't be possible to do is have them indefinitely. So, the purpose of this group is to be complete with their work and prepared um contribute meaningfully as we are preparing budget and uh getting ready for budget adoption at the end of March
013or early April. I want to point out number 10 to you because there is a sense of grieving in closing a school um whatever school it might be. uh we don't know that at this point, but certainly we want to honor the legacy at that school and pay special attention to our staff in that school as well as our students. Um if you were to look at any of our schools, we have staff members who have spent their entire career in that school. Um so although uh someone might think, well, what's the big deal? you were teaching fourth grade over here and now you're going to go teach fourth grade over here. It's a big deal. It's still a big deal. So, we want to make sure that as we talk about what comes next
014that we don't forget what came before that we are mindful of that and of what we need to do to make sure we preserve those memories. So we're going to begin with a single committee, a central committee if you will, and then divide into smaller work groups based on specific tasks. So this is an example that some samples of things we would do, and I know there are others here. Uh but certainly looking at attendance boundaries, uh and Clara, our director of transportation, would be um key to that work. discussing grade level configurations. Mr. Orette, that's his wheelhouse. Communication. You're going to see later in the um presentation a three tiered prong to communication, but I would really see there being a specific group that's sole purpose is to communicate about the work that's being
015done in terms of closing the school to be reporting out to make sure that the information is accurate that it's being shared. there is a huge human resources component especially if we think about reductions in force which we might have to consider and then both staff transitions and student transitions they are not the same things even though I have them on the same line um and there really are other things we're going to have to consider so although we will start with a single group that group is going to um split, if you will, divide into several other entities that men might then might need to pick up some additional members. Um and those groups will work independently. For those of you who were here during COVID, this is how we addressed our COVID planning.
016We had an overarching group. Uh it was Mr. Jay Quinto, uh Karen Swain, and myself. And then we had lots of teams that were doing all different kinds of pieces to put together a co plan. This is a very similar model to that. How do I make my interest in participation known? Those who are interested in joining the re-imagining our schools committee will complete a brief online application. The application will initially be available July 28th through Labor Day. And that'll be in this spot, reimagining our schools for people to take a look at. And basically what that will help us determine is that we have balance and representation from all of our schools that you know people are interested in serving. If you go back and think about those areas I identified, if people have
017interests in specific areas, they can indicate that if they have children at elementary, middle, high school where their youngsters currently are because although we're talking about primarily an elementary initiative, it was going to um impact both middle school and high school eventually. So I would want people from those areas also involved, families from those areas also involved. So we'll start there and then if people miss the application, if it is not communicated well enough, we will make sure that we continue to keep it available after Labor Day. So if someone's late to the party, they can still take a look at participating um on one of the smaller teams. Communication will be crucial in this process. So I'm looking at three pieces to that. And again, a committee that does nothing but communication. So transparent
018timelines, expectations, and data sharing. You'll see in the charge that you have that we talk about agendas and minutes for any group that's meeting that those things are published in advance much like we've done with the athletic council this year which has worked very well. that we're going to use our website, social media, our written work products. Um when we can other media outlets, um certainly agendas and minutes so that we can constantly be communicating that that will be a living breathing document on our website, but in other places where people can access them, that we communicate to our constituents, so through our PTAs, through our clubs, through our athletics, that people can find this information or that it is easily accessible to them. And then finally, we will need public forums and hearings because
019they're the right thing to do, but they're also required by the law. So, we will make sure that we are doing those things along the way. And people have said to me as they have been looking at my draft, well, what about, you know, when how will questions about things like school mascots be determined? Initially, we'll use a parking lot. This is an old-fashioned idea, but where you literally park ideas that uh whose time is it yet. So, for example, a discussion about a school mascot would be premature at this point because we don't even know which of our schools we might talk about closing or repurposing. So, to start worrying about what we're going to do a mask about a mascot before we take that initial step would be a little fast. At the
020same time, I want to make sure we are keeping an active list again that exists on our reimagining schools section of our website that says here are things that people are asking about. We're not ignoring you, but these are the things that we've got to get to once we built a little more structure. Okay? [Music] And uh these are key considerations in the process for closing and in my mind repurposing a school. And again, they're right out of New York State education law. Um first of all, you know, I'm a stickler for compliance. So we will comply with New York State education law and the commissioners regulations and do those things that we are required to do. We want to make this as transparent and inclusive a process for our participants in the larger community.
021Not just the folks who are part of that reimagining our schools team, but also people throughout our community who would have a vested interest in knowing what we're doing. It is critical that we um make sure uh we are thinking about equity, not equality, but equity and access for all students regardless of which spot they end up in or what the master plan turns up to be. We want to think about our student outcomes. So, if we're going to do something, let's say uh there was a discussion about moving sixth grade back to elementaryaries. Well, what would be the student outcomes that we think could be achieved if we did that as opposed to leaving sixth grade at middle school? And then if we were to do that, what did we just do to grades
0227 through 12? And that would have a student impact, a staffing impact, um support staff impact. So we have to be mindful that all of these things are interwined and we can't just make a decision without thinking about what's the impact of that decision. We will pay close attention to our personnel and our colle collective bargaining contractual obligations. Um, if you talk about reductions in force, if you talk about transferring teachers, if you talk about transferring administrators, all of those things are dictated under either collective bargaining and or the law. There are certain ways we have to do that. I'm counting on Joe Bush to be um a leader in that for me. And then um as you've heard Drew and I talk about throughout this budget session season, we've got to look at long-term
023district sustainability and our fiscal forecast. Um while we might all want to keep four elementary schools open, um that may not be this belief the most responsible thing we can do given where we are. So, we're going to have to have some serious discussions about that. That was a very brief overview. Because I just gave you this information today, I don't really expect you to respond. In fact, I think when I sent the charge to you, I said, um, if you could let me know by July 21st, if you see any gaps, admin, they're going to let me know by Friday, the 18th. I will look at what we're doing and if what we're doing fits somewhere within here or it becomes a parking lot item or if you just have a random question but
024I'm not asking you to adopt anything. I will bring you a final charge for option on the 24th our next 28 the next meeting. In the meantime we will start collecting the names of people who want to participate and we will start communicating about the process. That was a lot fast. I apologize, but if you have any initial questions, I'm happy to respond to them. >> Susan, because I just cracked my new addition to New York State Education Law, uh the citation right here is where I can find everything covered. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. The uh sixth grade example that you use was just an example purely, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. I just cuz when you said it, I said, "What was that?" Yeah. Okay. So, I just want to make
025sure it was just an example. Um, thank you for this. I think this was pretty spot on and and pretty clearcut. So, I look forward to this this year. >> Yes. I think you guys said that was simply an example. >> I was reinforcing that. >> Do you currently know the makeup of the committee yet? What do you want the committee look like? >> No, I just am interested in people who are interested in doing the work. So um unlike the athletic community where we're trying to achieve balance between outside organizations inside organizations our own people that kind of thing this is going to be a bit of a grueling process and um people are going to be unhappy you know even when people say to us yes I understand fiscally it makes sense to
026close the school sections are running at 2022 bloods are running at 1430 13. There's an inequity there. We need to do something that balances class sizes. Everybody thinks this is a great idea till I say it's this school >> and then it's not such a great idea. So I expect this to be challenging. Um but we welcome the work and we will have several subcommittees. Um and um in the chart it talks about each subcommittee having a facilitator. In some instances it will be um a district person but other situations it may not. Um it may be someone who's just interested in that topic. It could be cla on transportation. It would probably be Joe Bush on the HR piece taking the lead. I've got Jill and I don't think the chef co-chair the central
027committee. Um Rick is going to do anything that looks like instruction. Um which will include things like grade level configuration with his team. Um and then those teams will come together periodically because we have to make sure whatever we are all talking about in our teams still comes together in the uh central group reimagining our schools. We have to be in agreement. So, I I do expect that there will be some less than happy moments. This is a painful process. >> I do appreciate the communication part of this that you've got set up here with the trans timelines and keeping it out to the community and on the website so they can apply. I think that that's going to be great for our community involved working together. So, thank you for that. >> When you
028get the um final charge after I get feedback from folks, you'll also get a timeline. And as with any timeline, I'm sure it will need adjusting along the way, but there will be a timeline that backs us up from um April 1stish to uh August. >> Thank you. >> Other questions at this point? >> Okay, thank you. >> Thank you. Okay, moving on. Uh team, we can move items five and six together if you'd like to. So if I get a motion, please to approve a legal council agreements between school districts and our two different law firms. I'd like to make a motion to accept items five and six approving legal council agreement by between the Scotia Glennville Central School District in Gervin in Floza BC and legal council agreement by and between the Scotia
029Glennville Central School District District and Honeywell Law Firm ELLC. >> Thank you. And a second. >> Awesome. Second. >> Thank you. Questions or comments at this time? >> I have a a few questions and and comments. Um, I want to say that I appreciate that Honeywell kept their rates the same from last year to this year. Um, with because with the budget and everything, that's very helpful. I did want to ask um, Gervin and Flazo did increase theirs $10 an hour. So, I was wondering what they they know our position with respect to the budget. I was just curious as to um the discussions that took place with respect to that increase. Drew, do you want to take that? >> Governor Vazo's average increase is 200 basis points less than Honeywell's over the last few
030years. Um, this is what they felt they needed to cover their their service. I ask a question. >> Okay. And then um with respect to the Gerbin and Filazo agreement um they discussed the rates in paragraph 3 the second bullet that um for services for special ed litigation and hearings it's 225 an hour for the attorney's fees but 100 for parallegal but then the third bullet it only says construction matters will be build at 225 an hour. Will the parallegal rates remain at $100 if it's a construction matter? >> I assume we've never used their parallegal. Never dealt with a parallegal within 10 years. >> Okay. >> So, I would assume that. >> All right. >> And then with the um Honeywell agreement, this might be the same the same answer, but um they just
031talk about $200 for legal services. And I know I brought that up in previous years that they don't differentiate between attorneys and parallegals and there is a difference in price with respect to that. Um is it their intention not to use parallegals at all in in with respect to their work for us? >> We've never had it on the bill. They itemize who's uh each bill itemizes who's billing us the billable hour and it's always the attorney. >> It's always Jeff. >> Okay. And has there ever been an issue regarding they talk about large photocopying and posted costs will be on us versus Has that ever been an issue previously? >> All right, that's all I had on. >> We just did five and six, right? >> Yes. >> That's all I had. Thank you.
032>> Okay. Thanks again. Anyone else have any questions or comments? If not, all in favor? >> I. >> Anyone oppose? >> Prostain. So moved. Uh again, if we'd like to, since this has to do with health, we can move items seven and eight to approve the agreements between Scoshi Glenville and Ortho, New York, as well as Saratoga Hospital. >> A motion to approve the agreement between Scosia Glville Central School District and Ortho, New York for athletic trainer services and also approve the agreement between Scotia Glo Central School District and Saratoga Hospital as stated. >> Thank you. Second. >> Second. >> Thanks, Jen. Uh questions, comments on this? >> I had a question number seven with open yard and and athletic training services. That does that include the athletic trainer >> that's separate. >> That's the
033trainer. >> Okay. >> He works for that. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yes. I am a again I appreciate that Saratoga Hospital kept their rate the same from last year to this year but I did notice that the Ortho New York rate went up a couple thousand dollar and I was wondering what the discussion was with respect to that increase especially since there was a lot of discussion the budget with respect to the athletic trainer >> that's what we carried in the budget that's what we proposed um 3% which is uh inflation was 29 so I thought it was reasonable >> okay and you answered my second question that wasn't incorporated in the budget that we voted on.
