001Good evening. Like to call to order the special meeting of the board of education. Today is Wednesday, June 4th, 2025. Please stand for the pledge to the flag. 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. Okay. The next item on our agenda is memorial resolution uh for Susan Poca Garcus and Memorial resolutions for Jill Davis Simson and I will turn it over to Dr. Hass. Sure. I'll read the resolutions first and I think the board has to vote on them. Correct. Whereas Mrs. Susan Koka Garcus was employed by the Monterberry Central School District as a school psychologist. Her employment with the school district began September 2020 2020 2005 and she retired in
002July of 2023. And whereas through her dedication to the district, Susan has touched the many lives of many individuals in our district, it is hereby resolved that the board of education on behalf of the entire district extend in memoriam its appreciation and gratitude as well as its sincere condolences to the PA Garcus family. As the above resolution is adopted by the board, it will become part of the official historical records of the district and will serve as a memorial lasting for all time. Whereas Miss Jill Davis Simonson was employed by the Monterbury Central School District as an English teacher. Her employment with the district began January 1986 and she retired in July of 2011. And whereas through her dedication to the district, Jill has touched the lives of many individuals in our district. It is
003hereby resolved that the board of education on behalf of the entire district extends in memoriam its appreciation and gratitude as well as its sincere condolences to the Davis Simonson family. As the above resolution is adopted by the board, it will become part of the official historical records of the district and will serve as a memorial lasting of all time. Just a few quick words regarding Jill and Susan. As I mentioned, Jill began her career in 1986 teaching English in Monroberry, and I'm fairly certain that she was also a cheer coach in the district for a while. I asked some of her former colleagues about their recollection of Jill, and they used many positive attributes, including being a devoted, thoughtful, and collaborative educator. However, I believe that her contributions are best noted by her former students,
004many of whom stay connected with her long after her retirement. One former student that I know exceptionally well from the mid90s described Jill not only as having an indelible love uh mark on the on her love for English, but more importantly on her desire to become an educator. And actually, I had a second person who echoed that for me just before the board of education meeting. Susan Pocaris began with the district in 2005. Uh she started her career as a school psychologist at Smith Clove Elementary and I personally was very fortunate to work alongside her when she left Smith Clove to come to the team at Central Valley. When I was there as a principal, I was able to witness and experience firsthand not only her skill at her profession, but more importantly her love
005for the students she served. Similar to Jill, her legacy will last well beyond her years in Monterbury. And condolences to both Jill's family and friends as well as Susan's family and friends. Thank you, Dr. Hasser. Is there a motion to approve? Motion. Second. All in favor? I. Motion carries. Okay. Is there a motion for the approval of the revised agenda? Motion. Second. Second. All in favor? I. Motion carries. Next is our commendations. I'd like to invite Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. The presentation of the middle school yearbooks to the board of education. Sorry, Miss Roman. That's okay. Okay. Good evening everyone. My name is Danielle Roman and I am one of the middle school yearbook adviserss. I want to thank the board of education, Dr. Norman, and our administrators for supporting the yearbook club. Thank you
006to the middle school faculty and staff for your generosity and flexibility. I also want to thank the middle school administrators, Mr. Burgerer, Miss Cara, Miss Dudgeon, Miss Edelman, and Mr. Benrose for being extremely supportive of our club. On behalf of the yearbook club, I'm happy to share with you all the 2024 2025 middle school yearbook. This year's theme is capture the moment. And we certainly did capture every moment this year. From the first day of school to our retirees, we had a very special group of students this year that captured all of our memorable moments. Almost all the pictures were taken by our yearbook crew. And we had a very special group of students this year who shine behind the camera. One of the students this year who shined um and is here tonight is
007Yoseline. Yelin Sosa is in sixth grade and took most of the pictures of our school days and events. I have never met a sixth grader as responsible as she is and the club is lucky to have her for another two years. Thank you very much for this opportunity for us to share with you this year's yearbook and we hope that you enjoy it. Thank you. [Music] [Applause] Okay. And now our commendations will start and I'd like to invite Vice President Seriel and trustee no Miss Novak to join me and Mrs. Vega in the presentations as well. For more than 50 years, students across the country have shared their voices through the National PTA Reflections Program, creating creating original works of art that express their hopes, feelings, and unique perspectives. The reflections program invites students of
008all grades and all abilities to explore the arts and respond to a common theme through dance, choreography, film production, literature, music, composition, photography, and visual arts. Students have an opportunity to reflect creatively and receive recognition for their artistic achievements. At Monroe Woodbury, reflection kicks off each fall with a district-wide flyer and school level buzz encouraging participation. Submissions are judged anonymously at the building level and then advanced to central Hudson region for further judging. From there, some entries move on to the New York State level. And in some years, we're honored to have students recognized at the national level. This year, we're especially proud to celebrate a rare achievement. For the first time in many years, Monro Woodbury has a national PTA man merit winner in the music composition category. Among thousands of entries submitted nationwide,
009this is a tremendous honor and we couldn't be proud of the stu prouder of the student who earned it. The 20242 reflections theme is accepting imperfection. A powerful and timely message. And now we're thrilled to recognize our building level reflections winners. a second. And we got here for literature intermediate, Andy Pierce. She's not present today.

This evening, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible PTA executive board members and PTA presidents. Your leadership, organization, and endless dedication have guided countless events, meetings, and initiatives. Your contributions to the Mumro Woodbury Central School District are too numerous to list, excuse me, and your commitment to our students is consistent and remarkable. Your volunteerism and advocacy for our students and families speaks volumes to our whole school community and it serves as a powerful reminder of impact made by dedicated and caring people. Thank you for your commitment and for always putting our students and school community first. You are an essential part of our success and we are
011truly grateful for all that you do. To that end, I would like to call upon the PTA executive board members and PTA board presidents to come up to the podium and be recognized for their contributions to the Monroe Central School District. Thank you, and I wish you all a restful summer filled with lots of summer fun.

012lastly, Smith Clove Elementary. Not lastly, but last in order. Um, Miss Aaron McGrady, President [Applause] Okay, I'd like to invite Dr. Hasser up for our 2025 Community Connection Awards. Thank you everyone. The Community Connection Awards were created many years ago by our district leadership committee to recognize an individual or an organization that exemplifies the spirit of the Monroberry Central School District through community- based activities and service to the school district. The awards are given out both by the district as well as by the PTA council. and I'm very proud this evening to be recognizing the following community members for their continued support of the Monterbury Central School District and most importantly our students. The first award that we would like to present is on behalf of our district PTA council that we just saw up
013on the stage. The way that the process works is the PTA council as well as our district administrators nominate different individuals for these awards and then they are selected. The PTA council's award this year is going to Mrs. Suzanne Adler. And they could indulge me. The PTA council had the following to say about Miss Adler. Miss Adler is a dedicated teacher at Smith Club of Elementary. She truly embodies the crusader spirit in everything that she does. Whether it's nurturing and kindness in her classroom or extending and a helping hand throughout our community, Miss Adler leads with compassion, generosity, and care. A proud crusader through and through. Outside the classroom, she volunteers tirelessly at Sacred Heart Church in Monroe, where she organizes food and clothing drives for families in need. During the holiday season, she also
014coordinates gift collections in her neighborhood, ensuring that struggling families can still experience the joy of the season. At Smith Clove, Miss Adler is the heart of being meaningful behind meaningful fundraisers that directly support students and their families. Her dedication goes beyond just teaching. It's about instilling values that last a lifetime. One beautiful example of her her impact is the birthday box project. Under Miss Adler's guidance, her students brought in supplies to create birthday boxes for children who visit the local food pantry. These parties to go include everything needed for a birthday celebration, including cake mix, candles, a handwritten birthday message from the students of Smith Clove. These pro through projects like this, Miss Adler shows her students how small acts of kindness can bring immense joy. Thank you, Miss Adler, for being a shining light
015in our school and district community. Your kindness, selflessness, and unwavering dedication make a lasting difference every single day. Thank you. [Applause] And the school district um community connection award this year goes to the Monroberry Alumni Inspire Success Scholarship. And here on behalf of the scholarship committee is Melind Godsay, class of 1976. Come on up. A little bit of background about the scholarship. In the summer of 2019, 750 Monroe alumni returned home to celebrate the first ever mega reunion. An extraordinary gathering rooted in pride, gratitude, and a deep love for their alma mater. That unforgettable event sparked something even greater, the creation of the MW Alumni Inspire Success Scholarship Fund. 5 years later, in May of 2024, the spirit of giving and connection was rekindled at the second mega reunion, where alumni once again came together,
016not just to reunite, but to again raise vital funds to ensure the longevity and impact of this special scholarship. To date, more than 20 outstanding Monuary seniors have been honored as recipients of the Alumni Inspired Success Scholarship. Each award is a powerful testament to the generosity on behalf of our alumni to the next generation. It is their heartfelt way of giving back to the district that helped shape their lives. Tonight, we proudly recognize this remarkable alumni group for their unwavering support and commitment to our students. In particular, we thank Mr. your Goday the class of 1976 who's traveled here from New Hampshire to be with us tonight. Miss Peggy Hines Porter whose tireless efforts behind the scenes have been essential to the continued success of the scholarship. To our incredible alumni, thank you all. Your
017love for Monroeberry is felt in every dollar raised, every student supported, and every moment you choose to give back. You have an inspir you have been an inspiration to our students and the entire school community, and we are so forever grateful for your enduring commitment. Thank you so much. Thank you so [Applause] much. Okay. Next, I'd like to invite uh Miss Jesse Lazar for the bus safety poster contest winners. [Applause] Good evening everyone. Each year, the New York Association for Pupil Transportation hosts a poster contest to promote school bus safety. This year's theme, safety first, safety always, really hit home, and our students absolutely rose to the occasion. Let me just say, the creativity of these posters were nothing short of amazing. Who knew crayons and construction paper could carry such powerful safety messages and
018with such artistic flare? If creativity was a seat belt, these students would be buckled in tight. Of course, this contest wouldn't be possible without the collaboration of so many people from our talented students to teachers, administrators, and secretarial staff who support and guide them. And also to the transportation team who proudly walk the halls and judged each and every poster. Thank you. And of course, a special thank you goes to the school bus drivers who inspire these safety messages every single day by modeling what safe, responsible transportation looks like. Now, without further ado, I present to you this year's school bus safety poster contest winners. When I call your name up, please come up on stage. And I apologize if I get anybody's name wrong.

031by our student representative of the board of education, Mr. Escobar. I guess I should start off by saying thank you for the certificate. I appreciate that. Wasn't expecting it today. This is very, very nice. I I love the work I've done as the student board of education representative. It's just been the honor of my time in uh Monro Woodbury. So, thank you for the chance to do this and I hope that I've left a meaningful impact on the district that has given so much to me. But, you know, I believe that it ain't over till it's over. So, I got a couple more things that I've been working on and uh my presentation today is going to be at a project I've been um hammering out with uh another student, Gabriela Lie. Uh, I'd say
032it's gone very well so far and it's something that I think will leave a very um positive impact across all of the schools in our district. It began during one of my classes. We started a discussion about the code of conduct and uh a lot of us were talking about the dress code. Now I want to make this very very clear at the beginning um this entire project and what we are discussing has nothing to do with the actual content of what students are permitted to wear. We think that's good. like we think that the rules and regulations for that are good and we understand why they're in place and why a dress code is so important. Rather, what we are what we as students were focused on was the way in which students are
033told to change their outfits if they're not in compliance with the dress code. The current language of the dress code regarding the manner in which students are to make a change to their appearance if they are violating the dress code is as follows. Students who violate the dress code shall be required to modify their appearance by covering or removing the item and if necessary or practical, replacing it with an acceptable item. Any student who refuses to do so shall be subject to disciplinary action. Any student who repeatedly fails to comply with the dress code shall be subject to further discipline. The primary concern from me and other students that we shared was there's no mention in this code of conduct about the way in which they will be made to change their appearance and that
034opens the door for staff to discipline the student in front of other peers. Now again all of us understand the necessity in making changes to your appearance if you're violating the dress code. But we don't want this to incur in in front of other students which is not only somewhat an intrusion on privacy but it's also deeply humiliating. It leads to body dysmorphia, insecurity, anxiety and depression from students. Um and a lot of these students mainly women talking about their experiences in uh the middle school talked about you know going through this uh feeling humiliated in front of their peers. They don't want to be made examples of and face that embarrassment. So does disciplining in that manner really foster positive education and a positive educational environment. We believe that through fair discipline of students
035not only does that ensure that the students though they have violated the dress code are comfortable during that process. Um but we also foster mutual respect that leads to them adhering to the rules more often. Me and Gabrielle lie drafted document sharing these grievances and we collected signatures from students to add the following to the code of conduct. If and when possible, staff will use reasonable efforts to avoid dress coding students in front of other students and to address concerns outside of instructional time. We consulted with both teachers and administrators like Mr. Gar, Miss uh and uh Principal McElroy to ensure that this was something that everyone could agree on. Most recently, we had a meeting with Dr. Hassler, who wholeheartedly agreed to help instrument the change by consulting with the district's law firm to
036make sure that the language is appropriate and having it be among the items needing approval in the revised code of conduct on July 1st. I want to thank all the teachers and administrators who helped us draft this document, Dr. Hassler for his support, and especially to Gabrielle Lie for her help in this process. She was instrumental instrumental in making this happen. Also, her dad is a security guard and he's very very nice. If there's uh I I'm sure there's uh or there might be some questions. So if there's any questions, feel free to ask. If not, then that's all I have for today. Um so yeah, thank you guys so much and I hope you all have a great night. Thank you, Dylan. At this time, I just want to recognize and acknowledge that uh
037the board has selected uh our next student board of education representative um who I believe is here tonight. So, please stand up, Miss Zoe. Zoe will be installed at our our July 1st uh meeting as the official student board of education representative. The application was through a written application with a resume and followed with a an interview before the uh the committee which was Miss Donahghue, Miss McCleary, uh Miss Robinson, and myself. So, we welcome Zoe and looking forward to having you join the board of education. Thank you. And with that, I will ask for a motion to adjurnn. Motion. Second. Second. All in favor? I I motion carries. We are adjourned.
