001Call the meeting. Stay for the pledge. 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. >> [clears throat] >> I'm assuming is on his way or probably going to walk through the door. >> Going to be a few minutes late. Please start with >> Yep. Okay. As everybody knows, we had a board seat vacancy last night. We had interviews. Uh the board of education has individually interviewed each candidate who has submitted a board seat vacancy application. The six individuals submitted an application for the vacant board seat by the deadline of August 21st, 2025 and met the board seat requirements. Whereas the board will discuss whether it has consensus in its selection of a
002candidate or if it wishes to deliberate further. The board's goal is to see a candidate on September 4th, 2025. So we had interviews last night. We had six candidates come, strong individuals. I want to thank all six of them for coming. Uh it would we deliberated for a fair amount of time. I think we left here about 9:15 9:30. Uh after a long discussion, I want to also emphasize that there will be two seats in May open for the board. The vacancy that is now is going to be filled till May and that position will have to run again. And of course, Lisa will correct me if I'm wrong. The two seats that are up for this seat doesn't mean it's going to be for the four years. Whoever gets the most votes is gets
003the fouryear seat. Whoever gets the least amount of votes finishes out the term of this seat, which is two years with me, >> the second highest, so the first highest, will get the >> the four years the second highest, right? Whoever whoever wins the whoever wins the second vote, which is the lowest, fills out the two-year seat. I want to make that very clear how that is going to work. So, don't think this seat is automatically four years because it's not, okay? And it could be, but that's how it's going to work. At this time, I will announce who the board unanimously decided on, and that's Mr. Justin Brundage. Would you come forward, please? [clears throat] >> I'll take a vote on that. I need a motion. >> I'll make that motion. >> I need
004a second. Motion by Chris, second by Beth. >> All in favor? >> Yes. I at this time raise your right hand. Repeat after me. I I >> Justin Brenage duly solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New York and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of Oh, you're supposed to read that. I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. My bad. >> I said repeat after me. Go ahead. >> Do solemnly swear that support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New York and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of the Eldred Central School Board member according to the best of my ability. >> Congratulations, sir. [applause] [applause] So, that's Mr. Cochland, the high school
005principal. I don't know if you met him. That is our wizard, Mr. Caleb. He's in charge of all the money. Okay. >> Does a very great job. >> Mr. Krebs, >> he is a director. >> Director of science. And I'm sure you know Mr. Carpenter. You have kids in the district, right? And you know Lisa and Tracy. >> Yes. >> And you know us. >> Yes. >> All right. Now that's all out of the way. Moving on. We'll take the superintendence report. >> Welcome Justin. So, um, the 2526 school year has started off. Um, I do believe we were one of the only school districts to start on Tuesday in Sullivan County. Um, so we are just completed day three. We did have conference days on August 27th and 28th. 20 um on August 27th,
006it was teachers, aids, um, and assistants that worked on leader and me. This is year three for that. We're actually pushing it into the high school starting this year. And that push is partially funded by a grant through the leader inme program. And that's again our social and emotional um platform. It really pushes resilience and leadership skills. And um it was we split the um elementary teachers up with the high school teachers. And I think the teachers actually they enjoyed the day. They complimented both trainers and how much they learned and they really enjoyed it. And then the 28th we had everybody here. So that included the transportation and custodial. Everybody was here on the 28th and then we started our school year. Um we are also one step closer to launching Master Library. Master
007Library is an online platform that does facility requests, maintenance, work orders. We're trying to get that off the ground. So that will be completely online. And once we get that live, um that'll be for staff, for community members. I know we usually use like ASUS and stuff like that. even for the PTA, they'll be able to put in online um facility requests. So, that'll kind of cut back the paperwork. So, as soon as that goes live, I will make sure everybody knows because it will be posted on our website and our social media sites. Um I do have a call scheduled with NAERTA. Um that is who we have to work with in order to do our fleet electrification plan. By doing the FE um it will garner us two additional years and having to
008launch the electric buses and vehicles. It also opens us up to additional funding opportunities. This FEP is going to run us about $8,000. So we um we do have that started. Um cell phone ban as we know we didn't change anything with McKenzie's policy. Um so they were kind of used to it. Um the high school we've, you know, we [snorts] tell the kids to put it into their lockers. I have followed I followed one student to make sure they went to their locker and put their device in their locker. Um, you know, I haven't I haven't heard much push back. Um, I don't think that Mr. Conlin has heard much push back. I think they kind of knew. Now, do I also know kids have them hidden? Absolutely. Um, I know that. So, you
009know, it's kind of like but from even from the teachers, they're not seeing it in the classrooms and the kids are actually more engaged. Um, so that is we're working on that. Um, we did receive our $2,474 from the state for our cell phone ban. Um, that actually paid for the postage for our two mailers, which um was sent out to with that included the cell phone implementation plan. Um, bulk mail rate, I do now know, has gone up to $4.25 per piece. So, it has gone up exponentially. So, we did that paid for that. Um there was some confu um concern I know in July that we were not getting our title monies. There was some hold up at the federal government level. We have received all of our title grants. Um but I
010just wanted to make sure everybody knows that even though there was a delay in the funding, we have received ours for the 2526 school year, but they have greatly decreased. So like our title one monies um that is basic based on poverty level. Um, so we received this year $110,000 283, but this is down from $179,000 just in 21. Um, title 2 is $13,871 and that was again in 21 school year. Um, that was $25,278. Um, our title three, which is ELLL grants, that's $83. So, title four, $10,000. That's the federal minimum. And then we do get a REAp grant um which is for small rural schools. Um that supplements our Title One and that's $36,000 um that we get that um because we are small, we're rural, and it does help with our Title
011One funds. Um, a lot of times people and we do have to remember that Homestead because they are a private school within our district gets 25% of our title 2 and title four monies. So, you know, they are private school, they are entitled to that. We work collaboratively with them. Um, because a lot of times we'll have vendors that say, "Oh, we can pay for it with title one monies." We already use our title one monies. Um, we use all of our title monies. So, I just kind of want to give a snapshot. you know we since 2122 these monies have been decreasing at a very rapid rate um because we are considered to be land wealthy this is also based on the census the last census that was done um title n coordinator training
012now title n we've talked about before I am the title n coordinator um annually I need to get trained and then with the latest title n updates that I received Um, and I had conversations with our attorneys. We have to have title N coordinator. We have to have a separate person as an investigator and we are supposed to have a third person as a design um, decision maker. Um, so Mr. Conklin and I will be attending virtually Title 9 training at the end of this month. We are already scheduled for that and then we will have to once there is another um training opened up virtually then that third person will be trained and they will be um told when that will happen. I'm not sure of the third person because it does need to
013be an administrator. So I have some choices. Um but that is we have to have it um we have to have a title N coordinator and all these positions filled. So training will happen. Um, and then multi-hazard emergency planning for schools training. Mr. Conklin and I will be attending this training in October. This is to help us review, critique, and improve our district's emergency response plan and includes all the latest law changes. That's Alyssa's law, that's DESHA's law, and that's all the things that are coming down um for after school activities, evacuation plans, things like that. So, and that's done um I think it's done through Homeland Security training and that's [snorts] in October as well. So, we'll be attending that. Um and that and I also in your packet I gave you three memos
014um from Guario Guario, our district attorney. So, what I'm going to do is every time we have a board meeting, um, any we every time he sends us a memo on updated, um, decisions, court decisions, state legal decisions, anything like that, or opinions coming out of NIC, he sends us a memo and so I'll just put it with your packet and then you can read at your own leisure. Um, the most recent one deals with medical exemptions from immunization. We don't have this issue right now, but it's just a for your own edification. Um there is one regarding age eligibility for students with disabilities, which we already do. We educate our um children with disabilities up until they turn 22. Um some districts um have gotten in trouble because as soon as they turn 21,
015they're like, "Bye." But we don't do that. um we do not get state aid on those children after 21. So that is ardom but it is also the right thing to do >> after they turn 21 or after their >> so they so >> the school year where they turn >> so if they turn 21 within the school year they can stay >> right >> up until their 22nd birthday >> right but the the state doesn't provide aid for the entire year or they only provide so >> up until 21 >> if their birthday's November 1st they provide state aid until November 1st >> yes >> okay >> um and then the last One is um the charter bus legislation and you can read this as well. That was an updated um guidance from this
016is on if you remember last year um I think it was last year Farmingdale bus the six charter buses of the band kids that had wreck on 84. So this is coming out of that and that is where if we have a charter bus company that we contract with on trips we have to ensure that they have safety belts. the safety belts are working and that students are using the safety belts when they get on the bus. If the parents are also on the bus, then the parents um can actually get fined up to $50 for each child not belted. Um but they do include that and so that's came out came out of the farm and bail accident. So you will see in every month every time I get a memo I'll put it
017with my report and then you can read it at your own leisure instead of sending you lots of emails. Okay. So and that concludes my report. >> Thank you. Is there any discussion from the board? Any questions for Tracy? >> All good. >> Secondary principal report. Okay. Thank you Mr. Alec. Um so we are here. We have opened up uh junior senior high school is operating. We have a total of 227 students but that is still climbing because registrations are still coming in um on a daily basis. Uh our highest grade is grade 10 with 43 students which is a good number. And grade seven um uh I don't know [clears throat] what you ended Mr. Carpenter but there are 41 students as of enrollment uh this year. So going strong. Um the first day
018of school went smoothly. We're operating with the two lunch periods. Again there are four lunches within two. Uh however, there's a flip-flop this year. The upper grades are eating first to accommodate our PM VOTE students that are leaving in the afternoon. Um that was and then getting to that, today was the first day of VOTE. Thank God. We had two days with the VOTE kids had nowhere to go in the afternoon. So, uh today they went off to their program and uh I understand they got back around 3 3:15. So, not terrible uh with the timing. So, that's good. Tomorrow I am doing code of conduct assemblies. Every student's received a student handbook uh that we ordered over the summer and I'll go over, you know, procedures and expectations for all the students for the
019school year which includes the newly implemented Belltobell cell phone ban. Um like Mrs. Ferris said, kids are very creative. Um I don't know, you know, we we are telling them to put their phones in their lockers. That is considered our lock. Uh they're locked up. Um we're doing our best to be in the hallways to tell them that. Um, we do have a system in place though for uh cell phone warnings which we're using our smart path system. We just launched that to uh we just put that out today um for alerts to tell us who is using their cell phone cuz we are we are want to be in compliance with the law and uh do what we need to do accordingly. So tomorrow I'll go over that. I'm sure I'll get some questions
020from the students. So that should be fun. Um, open house for the junior senior high school is scheduled for Thursday, September 11th, uh, at 6:00 p.m. Um, however, also I want to note that at 5:00 there will be a meeting regarding the seventh grade Shoken trip and the 9th grade Washington trip. So that those start at 5:00 for anybody that is involved in those. Um, and again, our seventh graders are going to the Ashoka field campus, which I'm so grateful that is a, you know, the district does support this initiative. Um, they are going from Wednesday, October 1st to Friday, October 3rd. right in the heart of fall, kind of the beginning of fall, which is it's beautiful up there. And uh again, I I haven't I don't think anybody said no to going, so
021I think there's uh 41 students going, so looking forward to that trip. Um lastly, I do have it's it's always great when you have students that, you know, speak about the school and uh tonight we have two students. I wasn't here in August for the board meeting, so I do want to, you know, recognize uh Marissa Goshower who's over there, and Tabitha Smith, who are student representatives, uh this year, uh from the junior senior high school. So, uh, very happy for them. So, thank you girls for for doing that this year. Okay. [applause] >> And, uh, that concludes my report. >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Compton. Any questions for the board? >> So, the vote students that are in sports for after school practices, how does that work? I know that they generally start before
02231. >> Yeah. So, it is a learning curve right now for us. We have uh students playing uh soccer in Port Jervis. So, we do have some people stepping up that are helping out to get students to games and practices. Um, however, like with I know with football, football is like kind of a starts [snorts] around 3:00. They're they're switching their schedules to accommodate those students, like showing film first and then starting practice. The coaches are being very flexible. They're working with Mr. Gordon to kind of figure that out. Um, we do need to get a system in place for as we go into the winter. You know, winter's a little different cuz games uh basketball games run a little later, which is nice. Um, right now you're working with four:00 games. In the spring
023you're going to work with four o'clock games. So, um, we're working around it. We're trying our best, but troubleshooting as it comes. Tough for the kids that don't >> Yeah, it is. It is tough. Yep. Mhm. Cuz we don't we don't live exactly close to uh Votech, so it's tough. >> What you What did you say the enrollment was? >> 226. 227. >> It's up. You said it's up. >> It is up from when we started last year. Yes. Yep. And it's We still get registrations coming in. >> Good. And what's your enrollment up? >> Uh my enrollment is 234 presently and it's down 20 students from last year. >> But total we're up from last year. Well, assuming that this holds until that day. >> Sorry. >> Received the number of students from the
024homestead. The homestead more significantly this year than we've had past years. >> Okay. Any other discussion? All good. >> Three kids. >> Yeah. student report. Congratulations, girls, on last night, too, by the way. Nice job. Way to start off the season. >> There we game four nothing. >> Four nothing against nothing against >> guys. Hello everybody. So, as I'm sure you all know, classes began on Tuesday. So, students are getting back into their routines of going to school and getting used to the new rules. Um, clubs are starting to meet for the first time this year. Um the club fair will be on September 11th to look for new members. Um that should be available at open house for parents to take a look at the little stands that everybody sets up. Um the tech
025department is working on creating a student council email to take suggestions from the student body so that Tabitha or me can take them to the board if necessary. Um, student council is also starting to plan upcoming home uh events for homecoming in October. Um, and Tabitha and I will also be returning as members of the countywide student council. So, we'll be able to take input from other schools to hopefully benefit our own school. Um, that's all I have for academic things. >> Okay. And then for athletics, the varsity fall sports began on August 18th. modified started this week. Um, last night the varsity girls soccer team won against Chester 40. And then the varsity football game that was supposed to be tomorrow night is now moved to Saturday at 11 11:00 a.m. due to a
026lack of officials. And then also on Saturday, cross country will be heading to Warick. >> Good. Any questions from the board? >> Questions? >> Thank you, ladies. >> All right. Thank you. >> Mr. Caleb, you're up, sir. No. Oh, >> I'm sorry. Mr. Carpenter, >> I thought you gave you a [laughter] >> Thank you, Mr. Al. Um, so as we discussed earlier, um, the enrollment at GRM is at 234. Uh, we had a very large sixth grade class that left that went up to the junior senior high school and following in behind that would be the preK class, class of 2039. Um, and they're currently sitting at 20 students. We hope to receive a variance from the state and be able to increase that to approximately 21 students as we have one student still on
027the waiting list. Um, with that being said, we have most of our registrations complete. Uh, I don't have I don't know of any other outstanding registrations that we have. Our uh we had a new student who started today in first grade. Um, and we have one student who's in the process of um returning to being homeschooled. Uh, academic outcomes, uh, leader and me, the staff received core 3 training at the at GRM. We did this on August 27th. Um, this is going to lead us into students developing their own student portfolios. Um and then eventually uh studentled conferences. So the goal ultimate goal is eventually at some point, not this year in the fall. Um I think we're going to try to pilot with a few classes in the spring to have student led conferences.
028So students will be leading conferences with their parents and the staff um which we're really excited about. Um it's really been nice to see the change and the shift um with the leader and me framework um as we're trying to pull uh the leadership out of each individual that we have. we started to include the aids in our action teams um at GRM which I'm excited about and I will be um discussing all uh professional goals with staff uh to include all staff within the building. So that includes maintenance, cleaners, uh cafeteria staff, support staff in the office as well as our faculty. So I'm excited about that and just becoming a little bit more of a whole group um idea and framework that we have um on the report as well. Uh I just
029wanted to talk a little data on ELA and math. Um our math data um got stronger from last year. We had over 60% of our students proficient in math. That means they received a three or a four on the New York State assessment. Um that is an increase of approximately I believe 11% from last year and it is also above the state average in proficiency in math. In ELA we saw an increase of 12% from 2024 to 2025 to 46.7%. Um that increase is a great sign but it still puts us below the state proficiency average of approximately 51%. Ultimately, the goal for me, the vision, the the goal is to have 80% of our students proficient in each grade level year-toear. When I started four years ago, we were down near 31 32%. So,
030this is just a slow climb um from the efforts of the staff and everything that they're putting into what we're doing, especially on the literacy side of things. So, I appreciate all everything they are doing. So, some important dates at GRM. We have open house next Wednesday. Open house is going to be consolidated a little bit. We're not doing a 90-minute open house. We're doing a 1-hour openhouse. Parents will come into the gym. They'll receive uh information from myself from approximately 30 minutes. And then they'll have two 15inute sessions that they can go and attend to either see one of their classroom teachers or since we have eight grade levels, another child's classroom teacher or any support or related services um personnel that they need to see. Beyond that, we can accommodate any families that
031have multiple grade levels. But we've only only done two sessions. We just lowered the number of minutes from 30 minutes to 15 minutes. We found that the 30 minutes was a very long time to have parents into one classroom and we got a lot of questions about how's my kid doing, right? And that's not really the time to be asking and answering those questions. It's a it's an opportunity for the staff and for the faculty to express how they're going to operate their classroom for the year. September 15th is Dot Day. Uh you'll see a lot of dots all over uh GRM. September 19th is pinw wheels for peace. One of my favorite days of the year. All students uh decorate a pin wheel. We walk around the building and we plan all the pin
032wheels in front of uh in the front of GRM. And then October 14th will be the first week of clubs. That is the Tuesday after Columbus Day weekend. And so one thing we are going to try to pilot this year are clubs in the morning. Um and so for some students, if parents can get their child to school at 7:30, they will have to provide their own transportation just as they provide their own transportation to pick up a child at the end of a club. they'll be able to start their day day there and then they'll be able to uh begin the school day right away at 8:15 and go get breakfast and start their day. So, we're hoping that may increase some attendance for some of our chronically absent students. And speaking with attendance,
033one thing we initiated this year is we are announcing every classroom that has perfect attendance at the end of the day. So, for example, u Mrs. Counc's first grade class had perfect attendance today. That means every student was there present, none of them left early and none of them uh arrived late. So, and we are announcing that each day. U Mrs. Gallow is taking that initiative initiative on and she's going to be tracking the data and then at certain thresholds each classroom will receive some type of classroom uh reward. So, we're hoping to see an improved attendance there as well. And that concludes my report. >> Thank you. Any questions? Any discussion for Mr. Carpenter and the board? >> All good. Mr. Russell, you're up now. Sorry. >> All right. So, uh, I was at
034the August meeting, so I don't have a lot of updates from them, but, uh, school taxes have been mailed out, so people should be receiving them now. They may not have yet. Uh, they were mailed out on Friday or Saturday of last week, but, uh, takes a little bit of time sometimes. They're available online if you haven't gotten your tax bill yet. Uh I did get a notice today that said the credit card payments should be up and running by early next week, possibly tomorrow actually. Um so I'll make an announcement on the website and Facebook once that's up and running saying that if you want to you can go on the we'll give the name of the website where you can go and and people will be able to pay with their card. That
035gives one more option. Um for the facilities I told you we were doing our uh water filtration system that's done installed which you probably know because we came to school today. So Everything's up and running. Um, we also did seal coating and striping at the parking lots, which looks amazing. I forgot how good that looks when it gets done. It's been 3 years since we've had it done, and it really makes a difference in both of them. Uh, in the business office, uh, with the opening of school, we're just working on following up any outstanding orders, supplies that haven't come in, books. Uh, we're filing year-end reports for the prior fiscal year. We're filing our grant reports for the current year like we filed for a variance this week. Um, which we're likely to get.
036Um, and then we're prepping deductions for our first payroll of the school year. You know, health insurance, things like that. Just basic uh shopkeeping stuff that needs to happen for every year. That's all I've got for today. >> Any questions for Caleb from the board? All good. Very good. >> Mr. Krebs, >> how are you? >> Good. All right. Um, I don't have to go into everything, but I did want to put out uh give a shout out to uh Tina and Jason or our tech department. This year with our programs and things each year, we have more and more things that need to be um put out for our teachers that are online and the support that has happened this year has been uh enormous. Uh, in years in the past, we've gone weeks
037into the school year without having everything working. And this year, I think, has been the smoothest. Not to say that we haven't had some bumps in the road along the way, but when they've come up, uh, Tina and Jason have really done uh, a really great job of trying to address those issues and make sure that [clears throat] our staff and students have what they need uh, across all technology platforms. So, a big shout out to them. We also started a um new math program through Envision. It goes from kindergarten all the way up to algebra and that too had an online component that um is up and working and we've uh now gone through all of the things with that and all of our PD needs. We started off the school year with a
038couple hours of uh training for our math teachers on the the new math program. We did our leader and me training and come October there's another three-hour training for the math program. So they will have uh incorporated uh five hours of training in the envision program to start the school year and um our leader and me program is also continuing and we're supporting the things that are happening at the junior senior high school and we'll have a training day on October. So, it's really nice kind of having those two things because when I spoke with people at Envision, their response was, "You really want to start with the implementation and then come back about a month later and this worked out perfectly for them." So, um our school year has been great. Tracy mentioned the
039uh the master library. That'll come in handy because trying to find certain things on the website isn't always easy. So, one place for those things will really come in handy for not only our staff but everybody. So that's what I had for the start of school year. >> Any questions for Mr. Kreb from the board? >> Thank you, Mr. Krebs. >> Welcome, >> Ardor. Any report back for the solaries? >> Uh, not at this time. >> Okay, very good. Uh, welcome back everybody. I was here Thursday to welcome everybody back and I just hope we have a smooth, safe year and everybody enjoys themselves and we move on. Starting out sounds like it's starting out good. So Saturday is a big day for us. Opening day for football. Everybody probably sits as long as that
040guy does talk about sports. Well, I'm big into sports. So, but I hope to see a lot of smiling faces on Saturday for the the game and girls game was awesome last night. So, we're off to a good start. At this time, I will take public comment on the consent agenda items only. And if anybody wishes to speak, they have roughly three minutes to speak. So, I'll take any public comment. All good. Okay. At this time, I will take a motion to approve consent items 5.01 through 8.02. >> Motion by Beth. >> I'll second. A second. Second by Amodore. Any discussion on the consent agenda, the consent items? Any discussion from the board? All good. All good. >> All in favor? >> I Okay, very good. Any old business to come before the board? >>
041Any new business to come before the board? >> Go ahead. >> Just just have a a question that I just thought of when Mr. Cribs was talking about the curriculum and stuff. wondering about the associates degree program and you might not have the answer right now obviously but like what is the future of that program is it going to be able to continue and if you need like obviously you can't answer it that's fine we were I was actually talking um with Mr. Coughlin and Miss Aaron today. So, we have nine students that are currently in track. Um, the seniors that will that are on track to graduate. The 11th graders, it's a smaller group. I think it's like six if I'm not mistaken from the numbers that I saw this afternoon. And then the
042sophomore group, it is currently right now one. Um, and this we're actually looking at possibly student desire drives the schedule. Like what the students want to do, they need to drive the schedule. So we are looking at trying to balance the associates degree by offering possibly the courses kind of like every other year with core classes to make sure that um you get kind of you don't have to get smashed with all of these classes. your junior senior try to space them out and if we can balance it every other year so we've just started looking at that for possibility um you know it is to answer your question I hope it maintains I'm not sure if we can sustain it because again it depends on the students desire and um that's where we're at
043right now but we are going to try to we are looking at because I know we were looking at talking about having a meeting with Mr. Mr. Con, myself, Miss Garren to look at see how scheduling goes down next year, 3 years from now, 5 years from now, things like that, so we can kind of plan it out and see what needs to be done schedule-wise. Um, and then what is sustainable and what the kids want. So, there's a lot of pieces looking at it. I don't I'll get you more information, but that's what I have right now. >> Great.
