001Ready. >> I call the meeting to order. Please rise for the pledge. >> 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. >> All right. Thanks everyone for joining this evening. Uh we'll start off the first item on the agenda. We have our audit presentation. Right. Good evening. Um, I'll be brief. We just met with a select group of the board and went into a little bit more depth. So, I'm really here to just kind of give you an overview of of the results of the audit. So, my name is Chris Healey. I'm an audit partner at Mangle Meerbar or MMB for short. Um, you engaged us to perform the external audit for June
00230, 2025. Um, we are in draft form. Um, I expect we'll be finalizing the reports here, you know, before the end of the week. Um, and and so we expect to issue an unmodified opinion, uh, which says that we believe your financial statements do present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the district. Um, as part of that process, we're using our professional judgment. We're developing a risk assessment and designing and planning our perform planning performing our procedures to be responsive to those risks. We're not providing absolute assurance. So that means we're not looking at everything that happens. It's it's really targeted. Um we believe everything that we did provides sufficient basis for uh for that opinion. Um we'll also issue um a separate report related to compliance and other matters that's required
003in accordance with government auditing standards. Um really that lets you know that we consider your internal controls both over financial reporting and compliance. not to provide an opinion but to um to consider those as we plan and perform our procedures. But we do report anything that we deem to be a material weakness or significant deficiency. So we have two items in that report. The first relates to non-compliance which is your 4% real property tax law limitation. Uh so you were at 22% at June 30, 2025. um that was about 14 million over uh over that limit which I know um we've talked about for the last several years, you know, in this this setting that um you know, the district has just made a a conscious decision to um retain additional unassigned fund balance so
004that as the the COVID related funding and some of the other funding starts to to wayne off, you still have access to those funds without needing to uh tap into reserves which are really uh set for very specific items. Um but it is non-compliance with the law. So we're required to report that. Um and then the second is related to adjustments that we made as part of the audit process. So some of those adjustments are adjustments that we were engaged to to help with but because of the nature we're required to report those. Um so we do have a finding related to that. Um the last report we actually cannot issue yet which is related to um the uniform guidance which is a single audit. OM has not finalized the 2025 compliance supplement which is
005really what tells us what we have to look at. Um we have a draft version that we're told is um they're not expecting to make significant changes to uh but we're not allowed to issue that report until that guidance is finalized. So that report will come as soon as that OM compliance supplement is finalized. We'll we'll regroup with Kathy and and the team and and you know move to finalize that report. Um again we're not expecting significant changes u but we can't finalize that at this point. We do have two u findings that we believe we will have to report. Um one is related to verification of checking vendor suspension or debarment. So um there is some um activity with that. You you rely on BOSIES to an extent but really the district's required to
006maintain documentation um that vendors used for federal programs are allowed to participate. We did check as part of the process. You didn't pay anybody who was ineligible for that. So there's no actual non-compliance. It's really just a matter of doc, you know, documenting and retaining that. And then one other finding related to the final cost reports related to some of the education stabilization funding um not agreeing or lining up with the underlying financial statements and general ledger package. Those have been appropriately reflected as liabilities in your financial statements but um are differences to what was submitted to the state. Um so those um two items there and then last we did audit the extra classroom activity fund that's on the cash basis of accounting. Um we expect to issue a qualified opinion. Um and really
007the qualified opinion relates to the fact that uh because of the nature of the cash um and and how the money gets to the bank. There's really no effective controls to ensure that everything that should be collected actually makes it to the bank. So that's a pretty standard um qualification at this point in New York State. Most firms are are expressing that same opinion. So other than that, we really only had um some some recommendations related to best practice in accordance with SED guidelines, but again extra classroom activity funds are um you know, student involvement and we typically have a few uh recommendations in that area. So um that's the the summary. um happy to answer any questions if there are any. Um otherwise appreciate your time and you know thank you to Kathy and
008the team for for uh your work and help through the process and um that's really all I have. >> Thanks Chris questions. >> All rights very much. >> Next item is capital project update. Good evening everyone. Um so you notice in front of you should look very familiar from what was presented uh the last time we were in front of you. Um this is the list of priorities uh that have been discussed for the future capital project. Um, I can answer any questions we have on this list, but really tonight we want to focus on the resolutions that are later in the board agenda. Um, so I know there's been some discussions at the last board meeting and and beyond um turf versus natural over at Husky. So I think that's the big question here.
009We don't need to answer that question today, but we do need to move forward with the timeline of the capital project be able to be on track for a vote in December. Um so today the recommendation uh working with the financial adviserss and the rest of the team um is to go out for the full amount. So the full amount being the list of one through three priorities at the top as well as the two alternates list at the bottom which is the turf field at park terrace. That way we get voted on we get approved for the full amount. Um and then it gives us some time in between to decide if we want to move forward with natural sod or the artificial turf at Husky. Um and the way that the resolutions are
010written is we do have that ability to make that decision even after things are u passed today. Um so again that is the the bulk of what we need to do um at this meeting to keep the project online on its timeline for a December vote. Um the total aggregate cost of the project um that we're asking the board to um vote on tonight is 40,193,896. of that there would be a bonded amount of 37,68,896 and there would be $2,585,000 that we would ask um to be transferred from fund balance into the project. This project allows um the community to stay tax neutral. So there is no increase in taxes for um the community to vote positively on this project. And the way that was handled was by um the transfer of funds from fund
011balance into the capital project keeps it a tax neutral project which we're hoping your community will come out and support um once it's on uh the ballot. So just to touch on you know so if we do if the opinion was we move forward with artificial turf right we continue down with that full dollar value um but we still have line items in the budget for additional upgrades throughout the site of Park Terrace. Um, so if we were to go with natural, those line items would increase, right? So if we went with natural, we'd spend less money on the field, but more money on the surrounding um site work in the area, but even with the the turf included, we do have a raw cost of about a million dollars. If you look across it
012at the last item on the park terrace, you know, adds up to about $2 million of work still included if we do artificial to do parking lot, parent drop off, um, and additional infrastructure work on this site at the what we call the upper area of Park Terrace, as well as some work at the lower area and the entrance of uh, Husky Field. Um, it does also include the full um, fencing replacement. So either way, we're doing the full fencing placement. That's a separate line item. So all of the fencing around Husky is included whether we do artificial um or natural. So those are that are separated out from the alternate price for artificial first. >> Any questions on that I could answer? Anything on the list or obviously on that? I just wonder how
013good your vision is to be able to see all this. >> I can see it. >> I look like dots to make. >> I know. I should I should my contacts prevent me to be able to see it. >> Again, this is identical to what we what we shared last time. We're going through line by line. Um but we can, like I said, answer any questions you have on any of this. >> And you know, I'll just say this. I've had a lot of conversations with board members with community members and you know, obviously I think I'll say what I think. I think this is a great opportunity uh for this district to really build what could be announced showpiece and a community center. Right now it's a field that you got to stay off
014of practice. We use it for graduation about four varsity home games JV games. This could become a little Huskys draw to grow that program. Other sports could use that field. Um more than just graduation. Uh you can have your elementaryaries using that field. Uh it's playable and usable as soon as the snow melts. having as a community and a regional showpiece and something to be as an attractive feature for this district. Uh you I think it's a golden opportunity to build a a state-of-the-art facility. We have the locker rooms. We have the the re v revitalized uh concession stand. If we do parking lot work to build so people can park closer to park to Husky field and redo that turf for the football team, baseball team. Mike and I said or he talked to
015me about you could paint lines that washes away with rain if you want to have special events other sporting opportunities. Um we can do it without impacting the taxpayers something that it would be a showpiece of this district for decades and decades to come. I think it's we'd be crazy not to pursue it. That's that's my opinion. If >> I could just add to the majority of the project is infrastructure related. It's roofing. It's boilers. It's the nuts and bolts that keep your investment that you've made and the communities made in your buildings um to keep them up updated and maintained and under warranty. Of the total $40 million project, the middle school alone has 11.5 million of roof replacement in this project. That's a huge number of the 40 million, but that entire roof
016is coming off of warranty. And it's the building that's left that you're constantly chasing leaks on. that's going to be handled properly as part of this project and that's about a quarter of the overall cost. High school has two million left of roofing. Um the past two projects we've done a considerable amount of roofing on that building. There are a few areas that are left to do. When this capital project is over, every building districtwide will be under a current warranty um for the next 20 years. Some of them are 10 years into warranty because we started replacing them 10 years ago. But it's taken a long time for for the community to get everything back up on warranty. And once we're there, we need to maintain it so you're not paying every time there's
017a roof leak. You're calling in warranty claims. It's critically important. Same investment with your boilers. Same investment with a lot of the door hardware that we're replacing in this project. It's safety and security. it's investment and protecting your investment that you've already paid for in your community. Somebody had brought up to me about uh equality in title N and fields and I said well the current current artificial field serves three female sport teams and one male sports team and obviously this football and baseball are male sports predominantly not exclusively predominantly but as you said the field could be utilized for other sports as well. Right. I mean, it's not I don't think there's any concern that there should be any concern about equity. If we decide to pursue this, we're going to have to do
018half the work anyway because that field is completely uh in need of a whole overhaul for uh its substrate. So, this would be an investment of turfing it and building a state of the art facility. We talked about the lighting. The lighting is good. We did that in the last project and we can reach it in a future project to do LED lighting. wouldn't make that part of this, but Bob said we can reach all the uh lights from outside that fence. So, it's not like you have to worry about people driving across the turf field to replace lighting down the road. You know, obviously, it's something I think that we would go out to the community and and I think there'd be a lot of support. If I'm uh a young parent, this is
019something I would could easily get behind. When I look at the facility, the tour field, I know people I do not want to to be able to tour this to be frank and you open that up to utilize for practices for all levels and community teams that you can't you can't destroy it just a regular use and husky field as it is right now is such a fragile ecosystem that you know as much as anybody at this table we do not utilize it as much as we could or should and if it's a artificial surface sky's the limit We could have band competitions. I think Rob, you had a a when I got here, there was a competition of uh the field teams with the banners and the gun that I'm sorry, what they're called.
020>> Marching band >> entertainment. >> Color guard. Thank you. Thank you. >> And I remember they used that facility at that time. Obviously with that kind of surface, there wouldn't be any worries about a group like that coming in and destroying the field. So, you heard my two cents and you don't have that's not what we're voting on tonight. We're just voting on that dollar amount. If the board decides at some point that you do not want to pursue artificial turf, then that's your prerogative. But if you support the dollar amount, they just point out a lot of the and there's a lot of boiler work. There's a whole lot of infrastructure stuff. There's not a lot of shiny things uh in this project. It's pretty utilitarian. No matter what we do over there, the
021geographical issue with the the heating in the field, um how do we know that's not going to come back? >> So the the first part of the process is we would do boring of the field to check subbase material >> density of all the materials that are currently installed there. We would replace whatever needed to be replaced. We'd compact it at lips to ensure that it's there and it's solid. Whether you go natural sod or turf. We want to be sure the subbase doesn't move on you, >> right? >> Because that investment stays even if you're replacing a turf carpet in the future or you're doing a lot of maintenance and arration on natural side, your subbase can't roll. >> Um, the other thing we would be doing, it's my understanding you don't have a
022significant issue right now with drainage on the field. Um, as part of the project, we're adding a complete drainage structure under the field. So although it isn't a current problem, we're going to be sure that it doesn't become a long-term problem. And that would happen no matter which surface playing surface you end up with. >> Any other questions >> for the quote for the park terrace parking? Does that mean you guys have started putting together plans and on what you want to do up top? So, what once we have um once we have the authorization to move forward with a ballot, we're going to work with our design team to part start to put together some renderings. We think it's important that those are shared with both the board and community is voting on the
023project. Um whether it's natural solder turf, we can it's not about that. It's about the parking. about if if um whether or not we add a secondary access road that goes from lower parking towards the road to further separate out. There are a lot of things like that that are in flux, but until we know we're going for a vote, that design level of work hasn't happened. It didn't start at Kingsboro either at this point of the project. We produce graphics getting ready and getting the community excited about the vote. Um once the board meeting in October of that project. >> Got that. >> Yeah. Yeah. The number created here is a lot of square footage, high level of dollars, you know, taking the overall what needs to be repaid. We know there's infrastructure issues
024up there with some of the site drainage up top that needs to be replaced. You know, we're going to have curbing and striping and all those things of that nature to really make it what we want to do for parent drop off. So, that's just a a high level of, hey, we have to do x amount of square footage um to get to a parent drop off that's adequate. Um, but we just don't know exactly the details of that and a lot of time and back and forth just like it was at Kingsboro. What works the best >> questions on the agenda? Public comment. Anyone here for public comment this evening? Move on. Uh, next is a board discussion. We have the board of education minutes from the September 8th meeting. Any questions or comments
025on those? Motion to approve by Kevin, seconded by Rob. All in favor? Anybody abstain? Right. >> Yes. >> All right. Anybody have anything else for board discussion tonight? >> All right. Move right along to the Well, so I actually read superintendent report. Thank you. Good evening. Uh Mike, Bob, and Sydney, I did say you can stick around for my report, but I had capital project discussion. I don't think there's going to be much of a discussion. So, you guys are welcome to leave. you can stay for the vote and I or my report as much as you want, but I don't it's up to you if you want to leave. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Um, so Chris isn't here. Chris is representing the district uh at a dinner uh where the district's
026being recognized by uh Fulmont um Head Start program for the partnership. So, uh we couldn't I couldn't make it obviously for the audit and the board meeting. That's where Chris is and he will probably come in at some point, but if you look on the next page, you'll see superintendent's conference day agenda. I know he the administrative team have been working on. Um, if you have any questions, Chris will be here soon. But yeah, I I or somebody with administrators over there might be able to answer questions that you might have. This has not gone out to staff yet, but it is uh ready to I believe. And it's a lot of good PD obviously a lot of CKLA work benchmarks number of people are doing various in-house PD opportunity Brian Deaswell Courtney Wood we
027have uh Christina what's the lady you're working with >> Sher Cheryl Cheryl what >> doton thank you uh uh it's about questioning techniques primarily right to secondary level. So, if you have any questions, let me know. Like I said, Chris should be here at some point in the meeting if you wanted something more specific or detailed. Uh the next sheet is a proposed GSD business operations table of organization. You'll notice it's effective July 27th. So, this is something that I think we talked about before. Um, we did talk about it in the audit meeting that when Kathy retires and not we don't ever want Kathy to retire, but she's threatening us with a date of uh June 30th, 2027. And if you recall when uh when our assistant superintendent for business left, we did not
028replace that person and Kathy took on a heap of the responsibilities in that position. But when Kathy retires, this would be my recommendation to hire an assistant superintendent for business and operations. um replace our treasurer. We currently have an assistant treasur, right? >> deputy, excuse me, deputy treasurer. That position would go away. Um but that said, as we talked about uh with the auditors that adding a senior account clerk type uh senior account clerk to oversee the uh other two senior account clerks in that office we think would provide better oversight, give Kathy more freedom to to uh do some of the work that the internal auditors are suggesting that is something that really she's spread too thin in some ways. So that uh the material weaknesses that they find eat annually would probably be
029rectified uh with Kathy not have so much on her plate and I wouldn't have to see her vehicle here on sunny Sundays and sunny Saturdays. Uh Kathy works very hard so I think that it would be wise and we have the position already in uh uh on in our district the senior coun. We hope to fill that by the end of this calendar year. There would be training of Kathy training uh uh the person who we think would take over her as treasurer. That person training the person who would be the senior counselor and uh trickle on down. Kathy retires, you would hire a business official and then the deputy treasur position would disappear with it. So you'll see that that's articulated on the back as well. The position eliminated and probably do a better
030job just read it instead of me confusing you more and speaking to it. let the words speak for themselves. Uh again, this is obviously the board's prerogative, but this would be my recommendation for strategic long-term planning for business and operations in our school system. And I post Kathy World if she's in Vegas and turning living her best life in retirement. >> But if she doesn't want to leave, I'd be happy to throw that away. Um any questions on that? >> Any you said 2028, right? 29 I think it was >> July 1, 2027. >> Just get it on the record and vote it. >> But we will have that uh senior account clerk position uh probably at the November or December meeting at the latest um in front of the board. >> Any questions or
031concerns about that plan to better support the business office which frankly has been running uh short-handed for seven years. >> Is that going out for bid soon? Posting for the senior account. It's is it posted yet? >> It's not posted. So, we can >> salary schedule. >> Oh, we need a salary schedule. Thank you. I I need to uh need to work with the CSCA. Okay. >> We have we have developed a salary schedule that I think they will be immunable to but I haven't had their budget yet. >> But that is the only hold up >> which is me. Um capital project discussion. >> Okay. HFM regional priority review. So, this I think it's this document is important for you to be aware of. First on top is a table of organization for how
032HFMOSE currently operates. You see that there's a lot of support there. They do a lot of different things. Um if you have any questions, feel free to let me know. But that's just kind of a FYI. If you see the various uh supports HFMOS provides with their table of organization really I gave it to you because I wanted to look at the next few pages. You see their organizational goals. And if you remember our own board retreat, we talked about uh you know building a a early CTE program and that is one of their u their goals. It's a regional goal that you know I think Clover was instrumental in helping to bring to fruition. Uh but I think a Fambosis has done a nice job of articulating their areas of focus. They also had
033to do it as part of the state's regionalization initiatives. Not regionalization as in like consolidating the school systems but regionalization as in what are we doing collectively as the Boseies uh to meet the needs of the students and families we serve. So you can see it student centered schools opportunity access and support innovative learning opportunities workforce development collaboration communication and leadership and advocacy. Uh you'll see under innovation learning opportunities the last bullet is build and support earlier CTE opportunities. Obviously AI is a big push uh in our region in our district as well. So that's something else that I think is closely tied to what our own goals are. Uh they're partnering as I've mentioned numerous times with Bill Daget successful practice network. If you look at the next page you'll see this was part
034of his initial proposal which was adopted by all superintendents and our bosses and the four sessions that we're doing with Dr. Dagot focusing on AI emerging needs obviously uh he was also our keynote speaker to our own staff day one so a lot of the work that's being done recently with Dr. Dagot, our entire uh workforce in Gloversville school systems heard pretty much verbatim the same uh message that he delivered in session one to the region. Session two is focused on AI tools and strategies. We're we have an AI committee in house trying to uh get more educators to be familiar with it to utilize it to recognize uh the practical uses for educators and students and obviously to consider ethical considerations uh neuroscience of learning as session three he really does a deep dive
035on the impact of the brain of the youth in our country and what technology is having on uh children. So when they say children are falling behind, children are falling behind, it's because we're doing the same thing we've always done and the kids are different, you know, that's not disparaging the kids. Kids have grown up with the collective knowledge of the human race at their fingertips and we're asking them to memorize like we had to, you know, the capitals of 50 states. They really need to know that. Um, you know, the analogy that I've used is what phone numbers do you remember right now? I I couldn't tell you my three kids cell phone numbers. um when we were a kid. When we were kids, you knew dozens and dozens and dozens of phone numbers.
036So that's a good example of how you know technology is changing uh neuroscience and it's important as educators given that our charge is to educate the youth of this country. Uh we need to be on the front end of it and not have our head in the sand that the sands are shifting below us. Um, I think a big piece of this challenge and why I think it's really exciting to be an educator today is that New York states have recognized a lot of change and they are changing with the portrait of a graduate that the uh metrics for determining what a successful high school graduate is are changing dramatically in the next few years. Um, he talked about three groups being critical to that. the board of education, the community and and the teachers
037themselves, the educators and and I am confident that the board community and our teachers recognize and are receptive that we have to start doing things a little bit differently. um less siloing of content, more integration, uh more interdisciplinary approach to to uh building a whole child so that they are collaborators, they're researchers, uh they're communicators, and it's less emphasis on standardized test scores, you know, test forget, you know, cram, test, forget. And if we they've he he talks about studies where they've taken kids given them the same exam that they took in June and October and the percentage of kids failing those exams skyrockets to the majority. The vast majority of kids are literally failing regent exams months after they take them. That's kind of alarming because this is what this is the world we've
038been living in for a long time. Um so I I really appreciate Dr. Dagot and the work he does and the and the call to arms in our profession to look at things holistically different than we have for decades and decades and decades and decades. So, uh we'll be working hand glove. I think Margie's in the room uh with the teachers union to talk about what that's going to look like in the years ahead. Um there's going to be a need for us to be nimble and cooperative and flexible as as to ensure that this school system is on the front end of this. It's not like the electric bus mandate. I don't care about being on the front end of the first district to purchase electric buses, but I we owe it to the
039kids of this district to be on the front end of the transformation and education that's going to take place. And I really think it's a great opportunity for a district like Loversville to to dive in both feet, whether it's early CTE combined with a more interdisciplinary approach uh to to learning, more active uh involvement of the kids, less drill and kill, chalk and talk testing and more uh you know challenge based learning, project based learning. I hate that term project based learning, but I like challenge based learning, uh experiential learning. I think those are um those are truisms that we need to really dig our hands into and try to get really good at. So that's really why I shared this document. And the other uh document that I shared is the strategies that really
040goes into more depth than I just did about what what we're doing, why we're doing it, the role AI will play in it. Um so there's a lot there and there's not enough time in the evening for me to read this to you, so I won't. But I do ask you to read it because this is the uh I think the the most important work we're going to be engaged in as a school system for the next 20 30 years. I I don't know what the future of education looks like, but I know what it looks like right now. And it's time high noon for us to do things a little bit differently. And that doesn't mean literacy is not important, math skills aren't important. Those are more important than ever. Uh as Dr. Dagger
041argues and he's right. Um because it's going to be more competitive for those who are good at it. And the truth is you're still going to need to be able to understand what you're reading, be able to put proper prompts in. If you're going to utilize AI to assist you, you need to be uh proficient in grammar and how to articulate whatever questions you can elicit the response you're looking for. And obviously if it's uh the trades that kids are going to go into, they still need to crunch numbers, be able to offer competitive bids, communicate uh you know effectively with clients and uh other other entities that you need to work with in that realm. So um I think it's an exciting time. I think it's more relevant to what real learning what than
042I've ever seen in 25 years of education. So we'll see u the uh you know we were all raised everybody in this table and probably like in this room except our student board member uh who was raised in a day and age when it was you know tag take a test and even she has been too you know study take a test pass course move on study and you a lot of it is direct instruction um I think some schools and certainly the PEKs have been working on project based learning but those kids were all held to the five reasons exams as well. And the while they're trying to move one direction and get kids to problem solve collectively and work on problems, those kids are still being held to those five exams. And that's
043changing. There's there's kids who say, "Hey, I want to be a medical doctor." And you're still going to have to probably take a a a pre-med track and it's going to require standardized testing for sure because you want somebody who's very proficient, knowledgeable about various things operating on you. Um, but if there's kids who are going to be making a living uh, you know, in in the trades per se, I'm not sure what standardized testing even in the current region system does for them. I don't I think we have a number of disengaged scholars in this district because they just the written word and the current educational climate does not resonate with them. And I'm sure a lot of people who who listen to this and think about their own childhood. You're like, I hated
044school because they they couldn't sit still. They didn't want to listen to the the the teacher opine about what they knew and expect that kid to take copious notes and do well on a standardized test. Does that really have an impact on how effective that kid's going to be in the real world? I would argue no. And so that's why I would argue it's a really exciting time to be an educator. So I think both to get back to where I started is uh spot on with their priorities and I'm happy to say that uh you know we've been integral part and partner with them in developing this regional plan for us. Any questions on that comments concerns? Okay. Um I'm going to need an executive session to talk about personnel contract negotiations and that
045concludes my report. All right. Anyone have any questions? >> Any questions for me? >> All right. Move on to the next item on the agenda. We have our elementary and secondary curriculum reports. And I'll turn it over to Pasqual and Christina. I'll move out of the way. We'll replace the All right. Um this evening Christina and I are going to talk about the elementary and secondary curriculum as an overview. Um throughout the presentation you're going to see some pretty similar themes throughout the elementary slides and I think you're going to see a lot of through lines K12 um and how they align. Um David, I think it was really great that you talked about the regional plan uh as we kind of came into this presentation tonight because you'll also see lots of alignment between
046the regional plan uh for Boseis and what Gloverville's focused on as well. So at the elementary side of things, um obviously our curriculum priorities this year are going to continue to focus on literacy and math. Um but not just literacy and math. As you can see, uh, at Boulevard specifically, we've have a additional focus on the project lead the way through, uh, computer science modules. I'll talk a little bit more about what that's going to look like um, throughout the presentation. But on the right side of the slide here, you're also going to see student engagement, social emotional learning, and behavior supports along with our data driven instruction priorities this year. >> Um, secondary level, we will be continuing the same priorities that we started last year, common assessments, data protocols, event goal tracking. Um,
047all 612 teachers will be aligning their assessments to ensure that our scholars are given access to the same standards at the same pacing and that we're then able to break down our data to make those informed instructional decisions like we talked about at the end of last school year. Um, goal tracking is something that I'm working with the building leaders on as well to ensure that we hold ourselves accountable to that as well. If we're asking the instructional staff to take the time to break down their data, uh, make those action steps that we're aware of when it's taking place, we're having those conversations which then allow us to give that targeted support that you're seeing on the screen. If we notice that some of our newer staff members or even maybe maybe our veterans
048are having a harder time developing action steps or breaking down their data, we want to make sure leveraging resources like Mr. Jerbeck and getting that resource where it needs to be most um instead of that overarching umbrella like we did last year. Um additionally this year we will begin student- centered coaching at the middle school which I think will be a great opportunity for our sixth grade teachers to get very comfortable and familiar with how do I utilize data to make targeted instructional shifts in my classroom to ensure that media scholars are getting targeted intervention and instruction um in that exact moment. Um, so Courtney Wood will be meeting with the sixth grade teachers once their dibbles is completed so that she can review the Dibble scores with them, talk about data, talk about literacy
049and really holistically explain to them how I as a history teacher am also responsible for the literacy um data of my scholars and how can how can we all come together to kind of make that lift together because literacy is not just the English teacher's responsibility. It is everybody's responsibility to kind of increase um in those areas. >> So, on the elementary side of things, our curriculum updates include for um for literacy, we have version three of CKLA. Our teachers have done a fantastic job this year of full implementation in K5 for our CKLA program. it was uh not as big a lift as it was in our initial uh roll out of CKLA because although there has been some significant changes to the program in a positive way, our the frontloading of professional development
050around the science of reading has really helped support the teachers with a better understanding of how that program works. Um in doing so, we're looking uh to focus of course on building foundational literacy skills. um that that does happen both at the primary buildings and at Boulevard. Um we also especially at Boulevard are working more on that comprehension and throughout the K5 experience they are working on their fluency as well. We do have ongoing professional development and coaching. Um like Christina said, we do have student centered coaching and teacher centered coaching available for um that to ensure that teachers are ready and able to implement that CKLA with a level of fidelity. On the math side of things, uh we are continuing with the ready math classroom. That is not a new program, but we
051continue to refine how we use it. um we will see that that u the professional development that we're focusing on this year around ready classroom math is small groupoup centers that's really uh a K1 initiative and we're differentiating learning with our tier one instruction two through five also in our win program we continue to do that we have implemented as you may have remember from um last spring boulevard did a lot with the Acadians diagnostic tool to make sure that we have right students in the right math groups during win that was pushed down into the primary levels. So now all those students are using the Acadian diagnostic tool so that our win groups support those u students that are still below grade level that are on grade level and that are beyond grade level.
052Also, the project lead the way is a really great initiative that's happening at Boulevard. Um, it is being launched in our library period uh from grades three through five. Uh, it introduces coding, problem solving and design thinking. It is a pretty structured program that really uh digs into a problem solving approach but doing through the lens of computer science. We did that because uh our three through five students were getting a good exposure to uh technology during that library uh period through with um Mrs. Hollandbeck. But this structures it in a way that it will continue the project lead the way um curriculum 35 and then into the secondary with those secondary project lead the way packets. So at the secondary level we have um a few different curriculum updates or initiatives. The first big
053one is reading at the middle school campus. This year um the reading model has shifted. So essentially the reading team is now available to one grade level at a time. Historically all reading teachers were targeting sixth grade to provide that intervention. Now they work as a team and they'll be um servicing all sixth graders one period then they move to seventh grade then they move to eth. The rale behind that was to allow for flexibility and fluidity within those reading groups. So I as a scholar now have the ability to transition from reading group A to reading group B to group reading group C. And then if you know something happens and I wasn't quite ready yet, I can go back to B if I need to. Um so that flexibility kind of models the
054elementary um system and structures that they have based on data. So now when we're giving our um regular data assessments, we can respond to that, which historically we have not been able to do. Um open sed is our new science program at the middle school. It was going to be a three-year roll out, but we are now in a two-year roll out. Um teachers in both sixth and seventh grade are using a new reading or new um science program. It's fabulous because what it does is it prepares them to go into the high school and be ready for those new phenomenon driven um regions exams. The program that we purchased comes with kits that allow students to engage with um labs at least one time per week. It's very hands-on. It's um developed through the
055critical thinking model. So Mr. Howerin was talking about getting away from that like stage on the stage or the direct instruction. This is hands-on problem based instruction that is going to better prepare the students to enter the high school no matter what model they're in whether they're going to be taking a traditional regions track or they need to be able to think outside of the box for preparing for life beyond high school. So it's a really exciting new program. Um we've already discussed the new electives but I just wanted to talk about or go back over I guess I would say the new elective at the high school that's a ton of new offerings for our high school students in one year. So we have community connections which actually a science and a literacy integrated
056course. Um that is where we are going. That is the portrait of a graduate. How do we make sure that we're giving access to content and curriculum that is crosscurricular and help students understand how they become part of the community that they live in? And that's what that class is doing. It's civic awareness. It's um historical projects. So, it's really integrating students into our community through the lens of literacy, but at the same time science. It's dually taught by an English teacher and a science teacher. Um we have new athletic training classes that we're offering, which I think allows students to engage in more topics that could potentially be of interest to them after they graduate, which is hugely important to their ability to make an educated decision about what do I want to be
057and who do I want to be when I leave here. Same thing with our two new art classes. Um we have a ton of one of them sitting at this table who I did not know um was an amazing art student until I happened to enter into her classroom um and I saw the work that she could do. So we offer these two new classes for those scholars that really lean into the arts um enjoy going to art classes and really kind of a hook, right? We can increase attendance the more we can offer classes that our students love and enjoy. And then um learning labs at the middle school, I'm only going to mention them briefly. They are in the process of going through a little bit of an overhaul, I guess I would
058call it, but Mr. Heiser will be talking to you about that when he comes back to present for the middle school. But that is a huge focus of the middle school campus. I will be a large supporter of that, but Mr. Heiser will be the one driving that shift. >> When it comes to professional development at the elementary level, a lot of this started over the summer. Uh we have curriculum week where teachers of many many teachers come together focusing on literacy, math and science. Um for literacy of course with CKLA we're uh continuing with ongoing coaching and modeling in classrooms to really support that roll out and making sure that it's smooth. Um another component that we use and and Christina was alluding to this as well is our PLC model. Um, teachers are
059involved in PLC's on a weekly basis, both for ELA and for math. That's a really important part of professional development because not only we're looking at common assessments and using data to drive some of those instructional changes, it's really a collaborative process amongst the grade level. And so that's happening um in each grade level K5. Um, when it comes to math, we are continuing with that ready math. The uh K1 is the small groups uh and hands-on learning activities. At the two through five level, we're really talking about differentiating that core one instruction. How can we really try to tailor the instruction while sticking to the program to support all levels of learners? And then we dive in even deeper during that that win period that continues both in ELA and in math at the
060elementary level. The really focus areas for professional development in math this year is student discourse. So what conversations are students having about math and this idea of productive struggle? Uh productive struggle is really trying to um give students some space to try to solve those problems without the initial guidance from the teacher. Right? So uh it's a lot easier for children to to kind of follow the flow of a m Once the teacher already uh gives you all the steps, but if you have to create those steps on your own, you're really building connections. Um, and then and when you're able to talk about those with a productive conversation with your with your elbow partner, it really goes a long way with kind of creating those connections in the brain. So, productive struggle and student
061discourse are our focus areas in math this year. Um again we I can talk a little bit about project lead the way but there was certainly professional development but on a smaller scale with Megan there. Um but on the social emotional learning I wanted to spend a moment there. Um the staff, K2 staff has had some card training really to support neurodeiverse learners. And in the spring, we're going to be working with the Sun program at University of Pennsylvania and strategies to support neurodeiverse learners and classroom behavior management. Um, one of the things that I've uh really had some great feedback from our parents during our shared decision- making team meetings was um how classroom disruptions can really impact student learning. And of course, we know that to be the case and we want this
062professional development here to really support all learners and support teachers uh so that we have fewer distractions in the classroom. Uh, of course, data driven instruction is uh underpinning and foundation of everything that we do at the elementary level. Uh, PLC's using assessment data really guide our tier one and tier 2 instruction. Uh, that collaborative effort uh through teacher leaders and with teachers uh refine those intervention plans and the goal setting that they do really aligns with specific goals that we have like our district literacy goal. Um, at the secondary level, we will be focusing on increasing engagement through effective questioning. We have Cheryl Dabberton, who is going to be working with us throughout the course of the entire year. Essentially, the focus is how do we increase engagement through effectively utilizing questioning strategies in
063our classrooms. Um, we heard at the very beginning that the shift is happening in the state with a portrait of a graduate. The expectation is no longer that a can sit in front of or will very soon hopefully be that they don't have to sit in front of an exam to showcase their knowledge and understanding. In order for us to be able to prepare students for that kind of world, we have to shift the way that we are educating our children, which means how do we actively engage them in the process, not have passive recipients of knowledge. Those two things are not the same. So that is what Cheryl is working with us on this year. Um all of the areas of focus last year, we learned a lot about John Hattie and his research.
064So when we were selecting how are we going to leverage and have an impact we picked high leverage point. So 04 is considered the hinge point with his work. That means anything above 04 has a higher likelihood of making a positive change with the number one thing being collective teacher efficacy. Meaning if we as a group of individuals believe we can have a positive impact it will trump everything else. Poverty attendance everything. So we are in being very intentional with doing whole scale professional development for all teachers 612 to ensure they have the same message that they can get on board with one another. They can support each other and more importantly we can support them. Um the other large um PD that is not up here is AI. On Friday all K12 teachers will
065go through at least one AI training. Um at the elementary level they will be broken up by group um beginner, intermediate and advanced. And then at the secondary level, they'll have two trainings on AI. One, on how do I use AI to help guide the common assessment practice. The second, how can I utilize AI to implement the new learning labs. So, we are making that effort along with um our partners at OSE to ensure that our staff is up to date on how to utilize it as an effective planning tool within the hope of when we're ready, how do we transfer that to the students. So right now we're lifting our staff and their knowledge that we can then transfer that information to students and get it into their hands but adults first with that
066training. >> So really why why this all matters and really this is where it's the tip of the spear or where the rubber really meets the road and I wanted to take a moment to look at the the district goals and how what elementary work this year around curriculum is aligned. So, um, obviously in the in goal one where we're talking about positive student relationships, um, strong teacher student connections, uh, increase engagement and of course, and foster supportive school environment, and we're doing that through our SEAL curriculum and our refinement of our PBIS initiatives. This helps obviously students feel seen, safe, safe, and valued. One component of our social emotional learning is our SecondStep curriculum at Boulevard. We're actually um doing a review of that curriculum now to see if it's still meeting the needs
067of our scholars. It's a curriculum resource that we've had in place for quite a while. And uh some of the feedback that we're getting from teachers and from students is that maybe it's not hitting the mark as it used to. So we're doing a curriculum review this year of that social emotional learning curriculum. Obviously, Scholastic Achievement, um, CPLA version three, Ready Classroom Math, Project Lead the Way, all provide high quality research-based instruction that really drives academic growth. Um, this data driven, datadriven instruction, and small group instruction and interventions ensure that we're targeting support for our below, on, and beyond level learners. So um postsecary and career readiness is certainly not just a secondary uh concern. We uh at the elementary level are obviously focused on that. Uh one way that we're doing that is through
068our STEM uh and project lead the way. Um but we're also looking at what are the skills that students need to leave elementary with uh so that they can find success and that's happening through uh our SEAL curriculum. through the way uh in the strategies that we're using to teach CKLA and ready math and um through those MTSS data driven processes that are embedded and like I said the underpinning of the work that we do. Uh we are developing skills like self-management, goal setting, perseverance, u all things that are going to be needed and necessary as they continue on. Um, so you'll not see district goal one up here for me, establishing relationships. We left that one to the two brand new building administrators, right? So they're focusing on lifting their two campuses. So they
069will present heavily to you when they come back to present on their buildings. Same thing with the third goal. Um, I did have it up on one of the slides, but that is something that both of them spoke to me about wanting to take ownership of of that college and career readiness. So, I will touch on it tonight, but just understand that you'll hear a lot more about relationship building and post-secondary and career readiness during the building level um presentations. But in terms of scholastic achievement, um data has to be at the forefront of all of the decisions that we make. In order to have effective data, we have to have effective assessments. So, right now, we are overhauling our assessment practices to allow us to have that authentic data that we need. Um we
070are strengthening literacy and content instruction through leveraging Courtney and those um student centered coaching cycles as well as making sure that we're aware of what is happening in all of our classrooms adjusting programming where necessary like the science program that we are implementing this year and also responding to what we know or what we hope to know is coming which is the portrait of a graduate. Making sure that we are starting now to look at what offerings do we have at the secondary level? How do we build program at the middle school to ensure that when they enter high school, it is this year's seventh grade cohort that is going to be entering nth grade under a new set of guidelines. That means we cannot wait for it to happen because the children are already
071here. Um so we have to respond now. And then in terms of post-secary and career readiness, those real world experiences are really what we're starting to get better at, right? So we have community connections as that kind of foundation course to see how does this work? We're bringing those students into the community as often as possible. I believe they already took one field trip and they're going to be doing more of those to see what does it look like, how do our students respond to this and how can we then leverage what we've learned to expand that opportunity for students. Building critical thinkers, collaborators, and problem solvers. Every time we shift program, we want to make sure those areas are why we are doing it. When we select a new program like the science program,
072we can no longer just pick here is a workbook and here's how we're going to teach it. is what does this do to prepare our children for what they need to know when they enter either college, the workforce, or from middle school to high school? And then foster student driven learning through questions and discussion. We need our classrooms to be loud. Um but we need that discourse to be like um healthy but on on target, right? Not just allowed to be loud, but are they engaging in those that dialogue that pushes them to new levels of understanding? And then lastly, um the vertical alignment I think is important. These are the areas as a district that Ryan, myself, and all of the building leaders have talked about a lot. Consistent data cycles, informed instruction, embedded
073questioning, and instruction with fidelity. Every single classroom needs to have this across the district if we're going to make marked improvement. If we're going to prepare our scholars for their lives after graduation, and if we are planning to move to the portrait of a graduate, which is on that screen as well, we need to be aware of what it looks like. We need to be developing students that can be first and foremost culturally responsive. That's what they're asking of us. That's at the center of the new graduate. That's pretty much all we know for sure right now with a portrait of a graduate is that is what we have to prepare for. These areas are our focus. Any questions? So, how are you that's a massive fair you guys just presented, right? How are you
074guys keeping your arms wrapped around this whole thing like data management because you're coaching top down you're co coaching leaders then to teachers and how are you organizing managing all of that? >> I think for me I learned a lot last year of how to make it more efficient and effective. So everything lives in one location. So for example if I need to find or myself Cody Travis need to find what is one is the next assessment for sixth grade math it lives in the same place as one is the next assessment for seventh grade math. So making we all have quick access so that we can check in and be informed. So every single secondary teacher has a onestop shop place that they can go to for everything that they possibly need. It was
075done for the teacher but also the administrator to make sure that it's not digging through multiple folders like it was last year. >> From the elementary side of things, it is a different a little bit of a different animal. CKLA and uh Ready Math already put that information in one place for administrators and for teachers. But over the course of several years that we've been implementing our PLC's um our teacher leaders have really stepped up to be fantastic facilitators and um their knowledge around data and assessment has just continued to grow and grow. So yes, we are using uh common templates. We are using uh singular spreadsheets that really organize the data. Um, we're also using online data systems that really helped us to sort and organize some of that all those variety of data.
076Um, but then it really comes down to those teacher leaders and those weekly PLC's where they're actually engaging with that information. So, it's not an assessment that goes on the shelf. It's not an assessment that just goes into a gradebook and then you forget about it. We look at uh where students were really successful or where they had some challenges and we dig in. We ask why. We make some tweaks and adjustments. We have another set of assessments and we see where we were successful. That data cycle that that that process is certainly something that we're refining. Um but we've had a lot of practice with over the last couple of years. The elementary Thank you. >> Great job, guys. It's meaningful, intentional, and the urgency is there. And you did a great job. You
077bring a lot to a concise presentation. It's a great job. So that's to the entire administrative team and everybody who's working alongside you. >> Thank you. All right. Uh, next item is our student board member report. >> Hello. Good evening. >> Um, I first want to start off with some recent events to highlight in the month of September and then beginning of October last week. Um, first September 17th, I attended a FM conference of the student board training at HF Boseies. Um, it hosted by the capital region Boseies in Albany. So it was a zoom call in a conference room with a couple other schools Amsterdam, OSJ and BP to name a few of them. Um we listened in on a Zoom call um just to learn how to be a beneficial uh student board
078member because a lot of the schools haven't had required student board members yet. Um so it's kind of a new uh mandate that they're going to have for other schools, not including ours because we've had them already. Um so in the uh call we just had we just learned how to um make reports, get feedback from students and just learn how to be a beneficial student board member for the student body and the um high school. Um next um we had club fair October 1st. It was hosted by the National Honor Society. Um myself and other classmate Alyssa Kimman who's also a member of NHS hosted this club fair. There's many clubs involved in the club fairs in the gymnasium at GHS. Um there's student government association, girls basketball program, the international club, masterminds and
079key club. Um we I'm hoping to do another one in this the semester of the spring. This was kind of aimed towards freshman and sophomore during their academic support period. And it was mainly just to gain interest and become involved in different clubs and activities because that's kind of my goal um being here is just trying to gain participation in the underassman juniors and seniors. They have things to applications um and things just be involved in because I mean honestly there's like no involvement um in Gloversville High School as I've seen. So that was kind of our aim. Um it was pretty successful. Um we had 30 people sign up for masterminds which is like an academic quiz bowl that I participate in. Um so I'm hoping that they actually show up to that. Uh
080next I wanted to highlight the world's uh language honor society Latin and Spanish now an official club at Cleversville High School and we wanted to thank Mr. for his generous donation of $400 to the fundraiser that's ongoing this year and it's going to fund the Raymond Maxin foreign language scholarship that's awarded to a senior at the end of the year um in the spring during the scholarship season. So we want to thank you for that. Next. [Applause] >> Thanks, guys. >> Uh, next on my agenda, I wanted to talk about our breast cancer awareness uh soccer game that we had on the 30th of September. Uh, we raised around $1,400. Um, and the fundraiser is going to be donated towards breast cancer awareness and partially towards the soccer booster club. Uh, we sold bake sales,
081raffles, and accessories. and it was a great success. Um, we also honored those who are living on the field. They walked out with our players and those who have passed, we also honored as well. Um, and it was just really nice to have everyone come together for the community. Also, for teacher appreciation night for sports as well, September 30th, we had a soccer for the girls varsity. Um, September 27th was the field hockey one. And then football is going to be upcoming um October 10th on this Friday. So, we just wanted to thank our seniors or our um teachers for everything that they do. Um and I think that it's lovely that we have these teacher appreciation nights to thank um our faculty for everything that they do. Uh next on my agenda was just
082our um last week of last uh past week of school. Um it was a very busy week. We had our spirit week which um usually doesn't um gauge that much engagement for um scholars, but um surprisingly this year there was a lot more engagement and it was very successful. And then October 3rd, we had the fall fun day, which we're out of class for. Um, we held different events around the school, whiffle ball, bracelet making, spit to win it, everything like that. It was very fun and successful. And we also had our pep rally at the end of the day, which is fun. All the sports teams did their little skit or whatever. Um, we did a pen shoot out for soccer if you wanted to know. And then following that, we had the homecoming
083dance on Saturday and it was very fun. I want to give a shout out to the DJ because he was great. Um, and I also want to thank all the teachers for coming and giving up their time to um, adi advise the event. Um, I also wanted to shout out uh, just everyone that was there. Miss Hazard gave a beautiful balloon backdrop that was lovely. Um, and then on Sunday we had the powder puff game which I got my touchdown even though I can't play. Um, and the seniors did win if you wanted to know. And then lastly for just sports, um I wanted to highlight the Botchi team, the new Botchi team, Unified B or Unified Botchi. Um we've had three games so far. We have two wins and one loss. And our most
084recent match was this afternoon and I just played a ref um our boti ball and we've had a lot of good engagement um with just helpers um coming in and helping all the different players um coach and it was just lovely. And now I want to switch kind of over to suggestions and feedback. So two weeks ago, around two weeks ago, I g I sent out a Google form to the student body just asking if they had any advice, feedback, complaints they wanted to give to me to address to everybody else. Um I wanted to highlight just a few. So the first thing is going to be salting the hills in the winter just for the groundskeeping. I wanted that to be on the forefront and stay ahead of the game. Some people um express
085that like they're not salted enough just coming up Lincoln and then they ride bikes and it's just very dangerous. So if that could be on everyone's forefront that'd be great. Um another one we to mention is pizza every other Friday. Um it's becoming a little too frequent and the five days go by a little too quick. So every Friday we um I know the food service goes through Boseies and that's who um we rely on for the food service. So I know that like students want to have a say in what food is being offered. Um and I als know that we have held club fair or sorry, excuse me, food fairs before. I know my sophomore year we had a food fair. I know it's a lot of work to um manage and like
086get together, but I think that students really care about what food they're intaking and what they want as meals. So that could maybe maybe happen. >> And then lastly is kind of more for discussion. Um senior parking spots. I know this is something that my myself and then fellow classmates also want to do. Um, we want to be able to decorate our individual parking spots and paint them. Um, I know that my advisors would be very welcoming to this idea and I already talked to Mr. Headwell about it as well. Um, so we wanted to do this in either late October or early November before it gets too cold. Um, we were thinking of Saturday if possible just because there' be no traffic. So, I'm open to any feedback on that and what we can
087do to that. >> Okay. I I know some other districts uh that have done this. I'll I'll get some information from them. went about it. I'm not diametrically opposed. Obviously, there's got to be rules. I've talked to fellow superintendents who, you know, they uh maybe didn't oversee it as much as they should have. It's some of the paint that was put down presented an image or a message that wasn't what we really want to promote as a school system. But I think if we solve that and if the board's in agreement, I don't have an issue uh with doing something like that. >> But I do think that the kids paid for their spots. A lot of schools do it as a fundraiser. >> Yeah, that's >> if it was a you know, I don't
088care what the fundraiser was for if we fix something, but I think that's how a lot of districts have done it in the past. >> But I will be sure to talk to Mr. Lucas about laying down more salt. >> I'm sure he's not watching this. >> Anyway, you could share your notes with me or >> Okay, please. >> Awesome. >> Thank you. >> That's all I have. Thank you. >> Good job. Do we do we have a botchi pit high school? Do we have an actual bot? >> It's actually held in Amsterdam. Our home fields Amsterdam today. Um Mr. Demo, he actually made one with spray paint in our like inner track at Gloversville for plane just because there was some miscommunications about where it's going to be. So there is one temporary right
089now inside the track, but our home field is actually Lucas on that too. >> I'm sure Mr. David just did it because I thought Mr. Lucas was telling me he had to paint it. Let's give D the credit. >> Yeah, he I thought he said last week. >> I won't I won't I won't put my Lucas voice. >> How many participants do we have at Baji in the unifi? >> The helpers are like >> all all together. That's awesome. First year >> when's that next game? >> I think Wednesday is the next game, but I think we're going to play out. >> That'd be great. I'd love to check it out. >> Is there Well, you might as well because the time is of the essence. I know it's 82 degrees, but it could be
09018 degrees. Um, any concerns about the painting of spots? Uh, if we get the structure right, obviously any images that are going to be painted need to be approved by Mr. Headwell. If he has any questions, he can bring it to me. >> I would have say the only thought I had is we talked before Preston left about restriping because there was concerns about the parking lots and who had what spots and was that all cleared up? >> I we we need to look at what kind of paint. Is there permanent paint? You guys might know be a weigh in. Is there temporary paint you can use that'll last roughly a year? I don't know if you guys want to open >> I'm more worried about the parking spots themselves. That was an issue last
091year. Like is they couldn't see what spots were which spots last year. >> So my guess is I don't know. I think we should pick an an area a lane closest to the sidewalk closest to the pavilion area if we to do something like that because I'm guessing there's not more. >> I don't like paint over white first so you can go over top of that and then like when the year's over use paint back over white for the following. So is that I'm assuming you guys have dealt with similar situations. You want to tell us what your experience? >> She's got it pretty well nailed what the best way to do it is.
