001We will have our districtwide safety plan presented this evening by Mr. Randazz. >> Thank you. Good evening everyone. >> Good evening. >> Okay. My name is Russo. I'm here to discuss the visionwide safety plan. Um throughout the year um we discussed a plan prepared for the plan and were many changes to the plan this year. Um some name changes uh and staff responsibilities. Um however in the summer the state uh uh had a mandate to um insert u a transportation addict which we will be working on and also a um cardiac emergency response plan. Um, so we're going to be working on that for a little bit and we're going to have to go through this process again uh in January. All right. Um, so the process is basically go plan, meet with the team.
002We did that in early uh at the end of May. Uh, we then posted the plan to the website um early in June and then we bring that plan here to the board to adopt. Okay. Um so that is um that is what it is here. So we're going to give you a little rundown of the plan and introduction on the purpose of the plan. The school safety plan is the job of the entire school community. This effort requires leadership and coordination by school administration and the involvement and participation from all sectors of the school community. New York State requires all school districts develop districtwide safety plan to help schools officially identify and respond to potential emergencies. Planning, conducting drills, participating in exercise with law enforcement, fire emergency officials, and other school community members to
003ensure a comprehensive and unified response. It's important to note that um there's a difference between a district-wide safety plan and a building slate. The district-wide safety plan is a general framework that outlines emergency procedures across the district. Building level safety plans are more detailed, building specific and confidential for security reasons. They contain tactical information tailored to each individual school such as room layouts, staff assignments and and student needs. Um the buildings also building level safety plans also have their own safety teams who have the same representatives as the district level. So the identification of games whole free school districtwide plan developed uh intines from New York state regulations outlines district and building level safety procedures. The district's safety team compromises of uh administrators, teachers, parents, law enforcement, emergency responders, and community representatives that develops, maintains,
004and provides emergency response equipment. Um, and coordinating training and drills. Uh, all agencies including police, fire, EMS, Benville Health, and community organizations work together to respond to incidents. The concept of operations, the emergency response plan is designed to help us make effective and timely decisions that prevent harm, protect lives, reduce damage, restore order, and support recovery. Multiple agencies work in unison to school personnel to respond swiftly and effectively in a crisis. Training and exercise. The district emphasized the importance of annual training and emergency service. Staff and responders are trained on their specific responsibilities within the emergency response plan. During the school year, the district invites our local police and fire departments and other interest in other agencies to participate in drills so they are aware of their responsibilities during and during all uh any emergency,
005excuse me. The districtwide safety plan is a living document. and we are committed to keeping it current, practical, and responsive to the needs of our student, staff, and community. We always welcome any feedback or questions from the school community, the performance we working together to keep all safe. >> Um, can you explain transportation annex? So uh transportation um we have a protocol here in the district uh when there's an issue um if the bus is in an accident it's a protocol we have to follow um that is non safety plans but it's going to be inserted the issue and the building level so it's a procedure to show what exactly to do in that emergency right now it lies with the transportation department uh they have a whole procedure of one minute but the state
006wants to insert also. >> Okay. No, just to add so annex not meaning like a physical plant somewhere else to the plan itself because I right I was envisioning >> okay >> and Russ is it the case that the general plan which you just described which is districtwide that the individual uh uh the individual building plans are not made public is that >> that's correct They're confidential. >> Thanks. >> They're confidential. >> That's correct. >> Okay. Thank you. >> So, can you just talk a little bit uh to the drills? Who is involved? Are students ever involved in drills? Are the teachers involved in drills? What does that look like? >> So, yeah, the teachers are involved, the students involved. Everyone's involved. The community itself. Um but um we go over the drills. We work
007with our safety coordinator. Um, we bring in local police, fire department, or other agencies we think, >> you know, may want to see what we do inside. Um, we don't set up drills to do like mock um disasters. Okay. State required us not to do that anymore. >> Uh, so that has to be done in a different way. But we do alert to schools uh and buildings um that these buildings are altered, but they're basically fire, lock down, and then there's a few other drills that we do as well. >> Do we at any point do you like after shoot >> uh similar? Yeah. >> And again, the parents are notified of the drugs what, a week in advance or >> I I think it's a it's a window. I believe it's within the week
008of yeah certain days proposal notification >> advising that not exact date but within this range there will be uh for instance lock down this way students who might experience perhaps some sort of trauma have a conversation up with ourselves >> thank you thank you thank Okay. >> So, I would like to call to order the August 13th meeting. It is 8:01. Please join me. Stand for the pledge of allegiance. To the flag of the United States of America to the stands nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Effective September 1st, 1991. Chapter nine of the laws of 1991 requires that we inform persons other than students who attend meetings within a school of the proper procedures to evacuate a building in an orderly and timely manner in the event of a fire emergency. If
009you must evacuate this room because of an emergency, please use the exit door at the rear going out to the driveway. If for any reason that exit is blocked, please use the exit which leads to the Florida. There are two exits which lead to the parking lots. Use the closest one which will bring you to the parking the back parking lot. Regarding public comment at the designated time, the public comment portion of the meeting will be limited to residents, business owners, or employees. It's limited to 30 minutes. and a maximum of three minutes per person. A reminder, we cannot comment on issues of personnel or individual students. As always, we thank you for your respectful comments and questions. All right. So, the board of education approves the minutes for the July 9th, 2025 meeting as
010detailed in the mailing. >> So, moved. >> Moved by Mr. O'Hagen. >> Seconded by Mr. Smith. All in favor? >> Okay. So, this portion is for you, Mr. McNella. Welcome. This is your first meeting. the meeting over to you. >> Thank you, President Green. It's a privilege and honor to be here. Good evening, everyone. I hope everyone's having a wonderful summer. I am truly honored and grateful to serve as the next superintendent of the Baldwin Union School District. Throughout my time in Baldwin, I've witnessed the remarkable passion, resilience, and spirit that makes Baldwin such an extraordinary place to live and learn. I'm thrilled to contribute to our district's ongoing success while supporting the values and vision that our schools that allow our schools to thrive. So, thank you very much. Um, one comment I'd like
011to make is uh the other day on last week, August 7th, I had opportunity to meet with parents from the PTA for our first coffee and conversation event. Um, something I like to continue during the course of the year, probably do another one sometime in January. Overall, it was a great success and I think board members that were able to come. Um, the main goal of this event was to hear from the parents in the community um about their goals and vision for the district as we move forward um and continue our innovation and you know vigorous academic programming for the students. Parents shared their hopes and dreams and they expressed excitement for a strong commitment to the community. Um so I'm currently reviewing their feedback. I will share with the board and then we'll
012decide how to move forward from there. Um but it was a great event and looking forward to doing more of those to keep an open dialogue with the community. Uh continuing education program is up and running for this uh fall. The registration actually opens on Friday. Um no mailing is going out. This is why I'm announcing it. So I encourage um any residents to look at the district website. Um there are several courses which include volleyball, pickle ball I think is the most popular one, uh yoga, CPR, first aid, SAT prep for our students if they're interested. Um so please look the website for continuing education opportunities. Uh parents and community members, the school calendar has been printed and should be arriving uh around August 20th or thereafter. So, they were printed and mailed and
013on their way. If you're interested in seeing the calendar, it is updated on the school website. Also, I want you to let everyone know that it's coming. And thank the entire administrative team uh and Mary F for putting this together. It's a it's a very big job to organize all the events and to try to reduce conflicts. Um a reminder for our learners, since I'm an instruction person, you know, I got to go here. Please continue to make progress on those summer assignments. Summer reading, summer math. I believe that the assignments allow you to get bonus points when you return to school. So, how can you turn that down? It's a different way of looking at some assignments. Some places penalize if you don't do it here. We're trying to reward and excite you to
014do them. And the first place, first day of classes is right around the corner, uh, September 2nd. And I know we cannot wait to kick off another amazing year together. Right, David? >> Absolutely. All right. Um, I also want to give a big thank you to the facilities department, Mr. Randazzo, Dr. Robinson for their incredible work this summer. Uh, they've been working tirelessly around the clock to make sure the buildings are going to be immaculate and ready for opening day, as well as the IT team who reconnects all the computers and devices uh, to get everyone ready for all the technology needs. And with that, I would like to invite Dr. Robinson to provide an update on all the summer um 2025 capital improvement projects that have been going on that uh we thank the
015public for voting for the board for encouraging us to pursue. Thank you. >> Yes. So, thank you very much. Um, as Mr. Minella said, uh, it's been a very busy summer. Um, we wanted to give, uh, an overview. Obviously, there's a lot more to talk about because we have so many more projects and additional scope of work through the bond, through our capital reserves and so on. Um, those will those conversations will follow subsequently as the as the year progresses. Uh but I I just wanted to remind the community wanted to remind the board that um we put a lot of attention to detail in developing a long range capital initiatives and strategic plan to accomplish um a lot of objectives. Um the plan itself was carefully developed. Right? We have talked about our 100
016plus year old buildings for quite some time. when you do a renovation on a hundred-y old building, it's not like you're doing a renovation on a building that was a few years old. It's just a whole different dynamic. Uh so we've crafted a very um detailed plan to accomplish those goals. And one of the things we talked about even going back to the year 2020 uh when we talked about the first um bond proposal that was introduced to the community um our objective was to try and minimize the impact to our taxpayers. So we've developed this plan using you know multiple sources of revenue I'll call it or funding uh to uh address all of the needs that we've struggled with for years. So, you've heard the the phrase multi-year, multifunded capital project initiatives. That
017is a catchphrase, and we will continue to talk about it because it's it it is literally the only way for us to achieve what the objectives have been. So, how is that accomplished? It's through general fund appropriations. That's called the transfer to capital. It's within the budget that the community votes for. Um, we've had grant funding. We took um I'll say very um good advantage of the federal and state funding that we got through all the COVID response and so on. We very strategically used that for one-time initiatives so we weren't building a larger uh unsustainable process. Um we have developed and uh carefully used our capital reserve funds. Um and that is something that will take us well into you know several years ahead. Um, we've had the foresight to introduce new reserve funds
018at the in the aftermath of the COVID response. We developed the technology reserve that I know you're well familiar with. The community supported that and that has enabled us to stay on top of our technology and all of the things that we had to roll out during that time. Otherwise, that would have uh taken a toll on our general fund budget. Uh, and then of course the the bond referendum. So again, you'll hear multi-year, multifunding. You'll get sick of the words, but it's a reminder to understand that that's really the only way for us to achieve this objective. And all of this has been with the substantial approval of our community. So going on this summer was what we call our phase two of bathroom renovations. This was a capital reserve initiative. Uh it was
01911.2 million of the 16.1 when we did the athletic field. We had bathrooms in our project as well. Uh we have struggled significantly with some of the contractors that we've used. I stressed some uh in terms of making sure our insurance requirements are met. Um our insurance carrier, we've used that in great detail and it's a very simple premise. It's called risk transfer. So, if they don't have the appropriate insurance documents in place and let's just say something goes wrong, that liability falls on the district. So, we've been um adamant that those requirements are met. Um we struggled with some contractors and the timeliness of them obtaining all of the information, all of the appropriate coverages, not only for themselves, but but for the subcontractors that they use as well. Um we have struggled through
020that. We have been unrelenting. So, um it it's a stress factor. There's no question about it. But we've achieved our objectives and we're moving forward. Even though we feel like we're running a little bit behind, the cost liability of not doing it is far greater. So, uh currently this summer, we were able to go back and do uh bathrooms at Brookside and Lennox. Those are underway now. And uh at Steel, the middle school and the high school, we're we're doing another round of uh bathrooms. And that's been done through the bid process. We have two contractors working on those two groups of schools as we speak. This will just give you a quick um view of some of the schools. This is at Brookside. Um I will tell you, I know it's late, right? So
021we're August 13th right now and we're looking at the demolition phase. that um could put many people in a panic. Um it puts us in a deep state of concern. I won't call it panic just yet. Um but I will say that we have um very spirited conversations with our construction management firm as well as the individual contractors to make sure that they stick to the substantial completion dates that we've established in our uh awarded contracts. So this is at Brookside underway. Uh this is over at Lennux. Uh this is over at Steel. So this was just in the in the beginning of the demolition process. And I will just say in as u a diplomatic fashion as I can. You can tell that these bathrooms needed to be renovated. >> You're not keeping the
022pink. >> We are not keeping the pink. But mauve I've heard it called a lot of different colors. that I can't even repeat. But anyway, uh also going on this summer, uh has been the roofing replacements at our elementary buildings. So, this was done different funding source through our transfer to capital. And one of the things we look at when we try and allocate those funds are that transfer to capital is within our budget. So, as the community votes for the budget itself, there's a line item for the transfer to capital. that can only be so much otherwise it would have a very adverse impact on our tax levy. So we are very strategic about how we apply projects within that budget line. Um you'll notice that at the elementary buildings it's Brookside Meadow Plaza
023and Steel. Lennox is not there as we reviewed the long-term needs of the district. The Lennox roofing uh system is far newer than other schools and still under its warranty. So we chose not to include that for obviously strategic reasons. Uh just this past May uh when the budget was voted on, the community approved an allocation of funding for the middle school and high school. So those roofing projects will take place uh it is fully anticipated. They'll be in progress uh by next summer. I'll also stress that these roofing replacements aren't the entire roof. We had to do it our our buildings are quite large in some cases. So we had to do certain sections and through Russ and his team we evaluated uh and the architects as well evaluated the greatest need the greatest
024areas. So it's hard to really show pictures of roof that it all kind of looks the same but uh I will just say that there's a lot of material on site. It was carefully coordinated with Mr. Randazzo's team, uh, the staging areas, the work areas, and making sure that we could still have some other functions of the building going on while the work was going on as well. Uh, also this summer, we started our uh, kitchen and cafeteria plan. This was a um 11.6 million capital reserve initiative that was voted on and and approved by the community. We did start, the work is currently underway at Plaza. That's really the only reason why Mark Gray is here tonight or notable. He just wanted to say thank you very much for my new cafeteria. Let me
025just clear my throat. So anyway, um but the reason why we did that is uh unique at Plaza as opposed to the other buildings is the the space is self-contained inside the building. So it was a priority to get the space started and and do as much work as we possibly could because we still need the students to be in space for the beginning of the school year. So there is a temporary partition wall that's been installed. If you know the the cafeteria space uh all the kitchen equipment was on one side of the building and on the opposite side of the building was the stage and the stage had a wall and the stage was storage and it was no longer a stage. So that area is being completely demolished. Um the stage area
026will come down to the the level of the floor and the kitchen will switch into that area. Uh also integral to this project which is um quite a significant task was all of the IT um demands of the building all kind of traverse through that area. Um some server spaces and and so on racks of equipment and so on. So, a lot of that had to be temporarily moved. We're doing the work. It's going to be um after some of the the initial work is done that will be uh put back and reconnected so that the building is up and running for the star school. Um in addition, we have Brookside, Lennox, Meadow, and Steel. Um those projects have been submitted. Uh and we uh are in the process, we're starting to get there's a
027preliminary submission. We just received actually today uh late breaking news the approval from the department of health for the kitchen spaces. So we don't yet it's it's a combination of the department of health and then obviously the state education department to approve the plans. Um but all of those things are are moving along at a pretty rapid click. Um we would hope that we will be in a position to uh have those building approvals, the plan approvals by the fall time and then we will uh set a schedule to do the bids. The fortunate part about those four buildings is there is substantial work that will take place outside of the building. So, similar to when we did the closet elevator or the steel elevator and we fenced off an area, we will do the
028same for the kitchens to get that work underway even during the school year. Um, I will stress that our mentality overall is the safety of our staff and students and we don't want to compromise the integrity of our instructional day, but if there's a way that we could start staging some of that work and and have it start before the summertime, that will be our plan. This is the you can see on the picture on the left is where the stage is and there used to be a wall uh across that. So the wall is now done and that uh picture on the right really shows the temporary wall that is up now in between the stage or that separates the stage from the rest of the space. Mhm. >> That temporary wall will stay
029probably until about November, but it will allow our students to be in the space with the kitchen still on the same side that it is kind of functional and then the work will take place behind that wall and then you know different hours. Uh so we separate obviously work for student activities. >> No, Mr. Gray, you're not allowed to ask questions right now. Nice. >> Um so also um ongoing and in prog progress we talked about the B uh bathroom renovations. This was a capital reserve initiative that I had mentioned and just due to the magnitude and the ability or capability of the contractors that we've been able to find thus far. Uh we did have to break up the renovations into multiple phases. So, we will have more phases uh to to come, you
030know, in the future. And obviously, we're very um conscious of where our budgets are and how we're tracking. We pay attention to that literally every minute of every day. So, we'll see how far that gets us. I will say that a lot of our bids have come up uh or come in higher than anticipated. Um these market conditions, it's it's unfortunately not that surprising. Um but we'll see where that takes us. Um we have electrical upgrades. So as we talk about the multi-year multifunded initiatives, the electrical upgrades for all of our buildings right again built almost 100 years ago or over 100 in some cases. Um if our buildings just don't have the electrical capacity to do a lot of the things to carry a lot of the improvements that we're going through. So we
031included some of that in the bond. We had to include some of it in our capital reserves and we were able to include some of it in our transfer capital. We've also done some of the electrical uploads through some of that one time funding that we received before. So everything has been kind of in stages and it's a very large puzzle. Um but we've been rather I'll say um productive and successful at making sure we can keep the momentum moving in the right direction. So, in addition to those projects, we have um some other things that we've been doing inhouse. And I I do have to give a standing ovation to our maintenance staff and Mr. Randazzo and the coordination of pretty significant volumes of work. I I will share with you, I've worked in
032other districts and there's always a hard working group of people, especially when you look at custodial and maintenance staff. Um, but our maintenance staff here and the guys that come in and do this work literally have hit a home run every time without without fail. Uh, so I I can't say enough about the effort, um, the attention to detail and the passion that they that they put into the details when we're doing initiatives like this and we do them ourselves. Um, so the UPK, we were able to expand that program this year. Uh we added a second classroom here in the district office. It's down on the other wing. Uh so we've moved some things around and we are able to open up uh more students that were on the waiting list. So there still
033is a waiting list. We're working through that. Uh but we just opened up what should be another um I think about 20 slots with the new classroom. So the top left is the um classroom that was just uh remodeled, repainted, uh swapped. The bottom right is the space that is currently underway. So the walls need to be painted. The floor will be replaced on Tuesday, this coming Tuesday. The ceiling uh above has already been replaced. Um and then the other two pictures just so we already have all of the furniture and the supplies and everything in the hallway ready to go. So, this has been an orchestration of um controlled chaos to make sure we get to the desired uh final finish line. >> Excuse me, Dr. Robinson. So, uh that that he's referring to
034two UPK classrooms in this building >> just here having >> you also have it in >> uh all of Milbour. >> Okay. >> And then the first floor of Shoe that that stays in place. So, this has been additions. >> Now, we have three locations. >> That's great. >> Gotcha. >> Right. We had one classroom here last year. Last year. >> So now we have two. >> Okay. >> Total students. Um last year we were at 106. Um we have uh about 96 registered now with another I'll say 20 plus that are going through the region process. And we have I believe it's 46 that are on the current waiting list uh that we're going through. And I I'll stress in every year prior we've had a waiting list of between let's say 30 and
03550 students. In every year prior we made it all the way through the waiting list and accommodated everyone. This year looks a little bit different because the numbers are a little bit larger which was obviously one of the pressure points for us to open up another classroom. >> Um but we're we're starting to get a little bit close on where we are. the number of students that are on the waiting list and tracking where we will be to finish. So, I I um am optimistic will service a lot of those families. I can't guarantee we'll get to everybody. Uh but we are working really hard to make that happen. >> Great. Thanks. And then the other item which is kind of um a little bit off I'll say the day-to-day radar but certainly not ours
036in the business office. You will recall the library passed a bond. It was an 11.6 million bond. And the way that works is all of that financing comes through the school district. It doesn't happen just at the library itself. So we have to carry that debt service on our books. All of the financing, all of the payments, everything happens through our business office and the library has on their tax levy the collection of the debt service. So basically they we have a revenue source on the tax levy of the library that offsets the debt service of the district. So it's costneutral for us, but we still have to do all of the backend work to manage the debt service to the library. So, that's our long-term strategy. Um, we've we've been very careful to develop
037a plan. Um, this is upwards of it will be probably a little bit more than $250 million over the next several years when we're done. Um, we've done everything we could to strategize ways to achieve that magnitude of work with minimal impact on our tax levy. And that is something that changes every day. Um, Mr. Mell and I have started our very neat conversations about strategy and where we are and how we're going to achieve all of this. But, you know, the the snapshot in time, the plan we have today, market conditions, things change and we reach tomorrow. Um, it's that fluid on a day-to-day basis. So, as we move forward, it's just really important to remind ourselves that that market volatility will play a significant role. We know that the uncertainty regarding state and
038federal aid and what that ultimately looks like. We hear a lot of things. We see a lot of things in the newspaper. We hear a lot about it on the news. But until we really understand what those numbers are um makes our forecasting um complicated. Um but I think we've been pretty spot on thus far and um no intention to do it any other way. So that's where we are with that. Um and the other concern that we have as we look at those revenue sources is our reserves are only as good as our ability to fund them. So our plan certainly includes multiple years of utilizing capital reserves. But if if the funding sources change and things um tighten up a little bit um that will have an adverse impact on the timing of
039everything that we're talking. So with that if there's any questions >> Dr. Robson app >> you are not allowed to ask >> wonderful work thank you so much I I just want to say first that Dr. Robson the entire business office as the board knows does a tremendous job trying to forecast the volatility and to make those predictions to keep the district financially um in in a fantastic place. So thank you and kudos to your department. Can you go back to the electrical upgrades for a moment please? Um, so Dr. Robinson in the district facilities did a great job using the American Rescue Plan Grant money to upgrade our electrical service, but there was one issue with the middle school in terms of waiting for the panels to actually be built. Can you just uh
040inform the board of that, please? >> So, when we talk about upgrading electrical services, um, it doesn't mean, and I'm going to be totally sarcastic, but it's for the purpose of to to illustrate the issue. It doesn't mean that they're just rolling up a big uh larger extension cord and we're good to go. Right? So there is the switch gear they call it. It's the transformers. These are um monstrosity mechanisms that the lead time for manufacturing um in some cases has been over a year. So right now we have some of the infrastructure work that's taking place at our buildings to prepare for that. But there's no way that we'll be able to finish it, let's say, this summer. >> So, some of that we're going to do all of this work and then unfortunately
041it's going to sit idle for a little while until we get the switch gear and then the contractor has to come back and make all of those connections. So everything that we've heard about tariffs and and you know backlogs of equipment and and the timing um unfortunately in this particular case is very real and uh you know PSCG we had a similar situation with uh some of the timing of the equipment that was needed when we did the athletic field for that matter. It wasn't as bad back then you know a year or so ago. Um but that type of equipment has very very long lead items and that's a little bit of a strike. >> So the impact is not all of the middle school will have air conditioning in September. The competition does
042a great job trying to get window units in all our buildings. Um but there will be a portion of the middle school that will not have air conditioning because we're waiting for this equipment to be manufactured, fabricated, delivered. But our hands are kind of tied to that process. update. >> Yeah. >> Any other questions? >> All right. Well, thank you, Dr. Robinson. Just one thing for clarification purposes to the community. Um I know you said there's an urgency for the contractors to complete the work um by the start of school. So the evenings and weekends, is that an additional cost to us for overtime or has that just the time frame been factored into their responsibilities? >> So great question. Um the rockolid answer is we have a contract that has a cost associated with
043it and what's called the substantial completion date and we live by that. So there is a lot of I call it um spirited conversations back and forth between school district contractor construction management firm who represents the school district's interests um on managing whatever is needed and that is a technical term whatever is needed to make sure that we get to the substantial completion date. So the answer to the question is um there should not be additional costs. If those types of things are required, weekend work, overtime, double time, Saturday night, Sunday, whatever the case is, there should not be. Um it doesn't come without a whole bunch of spirited conversations about how to get it done. I hope we can read between all of those lines. Um there are I will tell you one of
044the contractors that we are working with um has just been um stellar at the effort that they're putting forth to meet the demands. I had I have conversations with our construction management firm, no exaggeration, at 4:35 in the morning. I have them with them at 8 and 9:00 at night. And the conversation, the update as of today, earlier today, um, was that they're they're really just pulling out all the stops to make sure that they get it done. For example, we've had a, um, a separate plumbing contract. The plumber had to come in now because of some of the delays had to come in on different times that they did not anticipate. And that was overtime for them. the district position. My position was okay. Oh, that's not coming from the district. Um, the conversation
045between the construction management firm and the contractor was that the general contractor needed to pay the overtime because it was due to other situations, not the district's responsibility. So, I I say that as high level as possible. That's a real standup thing for a contractor to just do. It's what they should do, but not everybody always does what they're supposed to do. So, um, those conversations will continue. Like I said, it's it's an everyday struggle. Um, but in that particular case, um, I give them a standing ovation for doing great. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Any additional questions? >> Um, yeah. Excuse me, Mr. Robinson. >> I'm sorry, we just ran out of time. Um, regarding the up um, UPK program, I work at the second floor of Schubert. So, I was just wondering
046if you knew this or not. Is Milbour School operating at full capacity with all the rooms for the preschool program as well? >> Milurn. >> Yes, >> absolutely. Yes. Yeah. >> Cuz I know the first floor is pretty filled up. I agree >> that quite frankly and it's a good question that the issue that we've had is we get a certain amount of funding from the state in order for us to run a program that gives us what we call slots right it's a child's you know place in a classroom um based on the capacity that we have it started at Milburn we moved it we expanded to Schubert we had nowhere else to go we expanded it to here one classroom now we have two classrooms I would suspect there will be conversations in
047the future that we need more capacity, but that really happens year to year based on when we do the the pre-l for the spaces. >> Good question. >> But so as we need more capacity, are we getting additional funding for that program or is it still very set to how what it was in the beginning or is it increasing every year? Right. So, very good question as well. Our funding um we're we're funded uh let's see I think it's a 126. Don't hold me to the number but because of our capacity we can't even accept all of the funding. So, it's actually the opposite of what you're talking about. So, the state allocation is there. When we do our report, we have to report on basically the seats that we have. So we won't get
048all of that funding because we don't have room for it. Um and that's not uncommon to other other it's not unique to all of them. Um uh but we don't we maximize what we can maximize in terms of there's an allocation for materials and things like that. Um but our goal would be because it's a pass through by the way. That's that's the most important part. It's not funding and it becomes a revenue stream and applied elsewhere. It's literally a pass. Every dollar we get goes out to support the program with the provider that we have children. >> But it's based on the number of those students. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> Thank you, Dr. Thank you so much. [Applause] >> All right. The next item on our agenda is comments or from
049the board of education. Does anyone have anything to report on? >> I don't have anything. >> I report the coffee. >> Yes. So, I was um able to attend the first coffee and conversation at least most of it. Unfortunately, I did have to leave a little early, but it's it was a wonderful event and the parents that were there were very enthusiastic and that was very nice to see. They took time out of a summer evening to come and um had a lot of questions, a lot of comments. They were um h very happy to be involved and and it was great and I do hope that we continue this on a regular basis. Um also last week was National Night Out. Um, I know a lot of work goes into planning this event and
050uh I would love to see in the future the district actually be able to be more involved other than just providing the place. Uh there's many spots and and many ways that let's say our students that need extra credit um you know have some of our more of our board members although I think actually we've all attended um but just our district um be more involved in this event. It's an amazing event and if we can all work hard to make sure that our community and our parents are aware of this event, again going back to the district, you know, if if we can start sending out information and notifications on this event, it would make a big difference because we haven't done that in in the past. So it's again, if you get a
051chance, same night every year and it's really a wonderful thing for the community. Is it intentional that they have this event over the summer and not when school was in session? >> Yes. So, National Night Out, um I I I can't really give the history of when and where it started, but it sp started for a very specific reason and um to bring the police department and first responders um into the communities to get to know the communities and it was always an evening. It was always the same night. I forget what date it was last week, but from its inception, it's always been on the same date for whatever reason. >> August 5th. >> August. >> Okay. And it's throughout every community. >> Yeah. >> It's national night out. It's Yeah. Throughout the country.
052>> Okay. >> Yeah. But before that, so I know you said that um well I attended your coffee and conversation and was fortunate to um at our table uh we had a plaza here and um um Superintendent Manella um trying not to pronounce the G. >> Did a good job. uh you had a gallery walk and you had some input from each uh school each PTA unit. So can you just share with us when you plan to present that information or >> Absolutely. So I've been um reviewing the notes from the gallery walk that the parents recorded on the postits as well as the exit ticket uh which was a Google survey. I've compiled that. Um my plan is to share it um with the board and possibly to the uh Bing B so I'm
053going to see what was discussed publicly um and then have a conversation about our next steps. Um so a couple themes have emerged already from my analysis. One is a strong desire for more offerings uh after school enrichment tech offerings at the elementary level uh which does impact the budget. So we have to have a conversation about what that looks like, what kind of budget implications does it have to do this year for next year into the future. Um, another theme that emerged was continuation of these type events for discourse and conversation. Um, lovely to hear that parents want to be heard and participate in this so we can help shape the future. Um and another theme emerged which uh was um trying to find ways to unite all fifth grade students prior to going
054to the middle school. So we have our unity day events but parents were hoping that we could perhaps develop some other opportunities to bring all fifth graders together. Um and one parent uh in their Google form didn't suggest uh an interesting idea that I'll go back to the board and to the community see if we could um help support. Good. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Next item regarding the board of education are our board priorities. Um, as you know, they have to be updated for 2025 through 2026. And I wanted to um make a motion that we adopt the same priorities if there are no other discussions about them for the upcoming year um with no changes and as presented. >> Yeah. that I mean in reviewing what we've known to be our priorities
055the past two years >> um I don't see a need to change change it I mean every time I read it so many things can fall into the different priorities as we talk about um artificial intelligence and um the the d the inclusion conversation all of those seem to be encompassing what we have so I'm a proponent of keeping quiries let's say. >> Mhm. I'm good. Okay. >> So, so anyone so moved? >> Salute. >> Okay. Seconded. >> Second. Oh, um >> Okay. All in favor? >> I thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Anyone else have anything to report on? >> Want to move on? just have this cable sound. >> So, um >> the next item is comments and questions from the public. Do we have anything? >> There were no cards
056raised here. >> Nope. They realized >> I don't think they think we might have to do it. Do >> you mind one of the cards first? Thank you. Okay, just a um we're going to move to the personnel actions report while they're filling out the comments and concerns. So, um the board of education approves the personnel action report dated August 13, 2025 as detailed in the mailing. So move. >> So moved by Mrs. O'Hagen. >> Seconded by Mrs. Dresca. All in favor? >> Can I take a moment to introduce on the P is the new plaza assistant principal. It be great pleasure to introduce Mr. Nicole Clear who I believe started if I remember correctly your career in Rockville Center and then most recently he's been working in New York City TS um which is
057a school for uh New York leadership Christine program magnet school >> uh during our interview process um nailed every single question pertaining to curriculum instruction very much aligned with 2035 vision in terms of developing hands-on relevant project based learning in study uh spoke for that very well which is aligned with the New York Inspires and the newly released New York State profile graduate which we'll have further conversations about as well. So um welcome to Baldwin. It's a wonderful community. We're excited to have you join us. >> Welcome. [Applause] So, we'll go back to the comments. Um, >> now, >> so you can stand. Make sure you state your name and place of residency. You have three minutes. >> Okay, I'm going to stick to three minutes. >> Thank you. >> Hi, everyone. My name is
058M Kila. Um, I live here in Baldwin. Um I'm going into my second year at Columbia University. Just graduated um 2024. Um I welcome the board meetings. Um I first of all wanted to um congratulate congratulate Mr. Miella on superintendent position. I wish you the best of luck and new district administration. Um I'm not sure who um Dr. Gel is uh Miss Fisher. >> Fisher. All right. I just want to wish you the best of luck. We have the best school district I think on Long Island. I might be a little bit biased, >> but um my comment is really in regards to the student position. and I've been a staunch advocate of implementing it and I'm really really proud that um Governor Hokll and the state legislators up at Albany kind of implemented this
059and I think you know we have a lot of momentum here and this is a really great opportunity to um foster student engagement and instill a lifelong passion for civic engagement and civic education within our student body. So I'm kind of wondering number one how we can kind of take this role to engage the broader student body. So that's my first question. And then my second question, it's like a question and a comment. But about two weeks ago, I hosted a college application workshop over at the Bald Public Library with students from Yale University and Columbia University kind of lead that workshop. And I was wondering if there's anything that the district could do to kind of um implement some more programs like that cuz here at Baldwin, we have a lot of bright minds
060and we have the potential to send to send students to Ivy League schools and to top 20 schools across the nation. But I think what we're lacking is, you know, these programs to guide students through the process. And I've spoken to students of other districts across Long Island. I know they kind of have programs similar to that. So my second question is um is there any way that the school district can implement some college workshop programs for students? Thank you very much. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. That's that's >> um yes, you can respond. >> So um thank you so much for your kind words for the district and for us. Appreciate that. We see what Golden produces. amazing students that are eligible speakers and critical thinkers >> one day. >>
061Yeah. Um so to answer the first part of your question is the vision uh David and I have had a couple conversations um and part of the vision to broaden the student body and engagement is once the school year starts and we have a chance to talk to Dr. Tesla to kind of form a um we'll call it for lack of better words right now like a superintendent advisory council where David and I would engage student body based on Dr. test is maybe somehow we have to solicit across the spectrum of the high school not just from one group but we not see good representation um and through that hopefully engage the students in different conversations and similarly with the parents visioning work right uh for instance what I find maybe exciting curriculum and Dr.
062you might not, right? So, we want to make sure that we're getting student input on some of the curriculum design and um and getting you future ready. So, that's one method to answer your first question. Second question is something we could certainly look into. I have some ideas um of some things we could do to support the college process. right turn right now it's a lot burden on the guidance counselors is you know case loads you know is is big but um we do have a lot of students that are fantastic universities and colleges yourself um but I will have to get back to you after we look at programming and what we can do um but surely we did work on that for you >> can I ask a question um in terms of
063the the program at the library what was was there a great turnout >> yes so we had a great turnout um we planned it um I think two weeks before it was through a nonprofit organization that I do work with. It's called Minority Millennials. We're a 501c3 that helps young people of color access when it become safely engaged. >> So, we had about 20 people there. We actually fully booked the arts and crafts room. We were a bit over capacity. Don't tell them. >> Yeah. And then um we're also going to host youth round table discussion with our assembly woman later in July. And we do plan to get a lot of engagement from Balden students. So yeah, it was very popular and the majority of students there were students from Baltimore. >> Okay, that's
064great to hear. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Gentle. >> Yes. >> Hi Leila. Nice meeting some of you. I know some of you guys um congrats Miss Green, Mrs. Green on your position. Mella, all of it. Great. >> I'm Leila. I am student government president as well as president and as student government president on my social media pages I opened up opportunity for people to tell me questions they wanted me to ask you guys. So question number one along one sorry given that the state phone ban is being implemented here throughout the yonder counseling policy. How the district address situations where student repair where student requires access to personal devices for essential learning or communication? For example, students with disabilities who use accessibility tools like iPads or students with language barrier barriers who rely
065on translation apps, will there be clear guidelines or accommodations in place to support that? >> Okay. >> Y >> now, now was that your only two questions? >> No, there's two, but that's the most important one. >> All right. So um would it be good if you ask all your questions first and then we'll see how much time we have to answer the questions and I might be able to >> and then the second question is many students are concerned about how the daily process of putting phones in the yawner pouches will work. Is there a plan in place yet how for how that will be managed? >> Okay question. Okay. So um in terms of personal devices according to the policy personal devices are not allowed. So it's any the the restriction is against
066internet enabled devices. So uh unfortunately we used to have a bring your own device policy where you could connect to the student Wi-Fi. The student Wi-Fi is no longer going to be in existence due to that. So if you bring your own device in it's not going to connect to the student Wi-Fi. So anyone who was using like an iPad obviously will be issued a Chromebook uh to utilize. Um okay. Um that's because a lot of these applications as you guys know that students might use Tik Tok or etc could connect to your personal iPad and that's part of the um restrictions is to prevent students from scrolling through their personal social media accounts or texting and and being distracted in school. So the whole goal of this restriction uh is students could focus on
067instruction, focus on socialization and have good conversations like you guys are now. and instead of like walking the hallway on the phone is actually having conversations and reconnecting with each other. Um and that's going to be a theme process here just reconnections connections with each other connections with the school community and and parents connections. Okay. Uh in terms of the other question in ter uh process >> so Dr. Testa and I last week had a meeting with um what they call it implementation success manager from Yarn to Bag and it's not going to be as complicated as you think. These bags lock very quickly. Um so every student gets a bag first day of school for instance. Um there's going to be a circle. We start a circle to discuss why these bags aren't getting
068utilized. Everyone understands that. Every student will be issued a bag. It's yours for the year. So you're going to take it home and bring it back every single day. When you come into school, you're gonna as you check in, put your phone in, you lock it, and that bag is yours. You keep your phone on you. We don't want to take possession of it. It's yours. The only thing is that you cannot unlock it until you leave. So outside we're going to have lock boxes, which are really um we call them unlocking boxes. They're going to be put up on different, you know, on the columns or maybe on like stansions. So you'll just go by with the bag and you just and it's literally what we saw are in the demonstration a second. You
069tap it unlocks the magnet and then you take your phone out. So if you go to lunch, it'll just go to the little setup. We'll have ample of them. We actually got more than the recommendation uh because we want to make sure that there's no build up. If students are leaving, they're going to be anxious to their phones, right? So we're going to have a lot of these little setups outside and you're going to be able to unlock it easily. Go to lunch. But when you come back from lunch, just show front uh entry security guard, then you put back in and that's it. >> Um and it's bell to bell. So after school hours, if you go to clubs or sports, you could unlock it and then just have the phone on you because
070we know that's school hours parents probably going in touch with you or you want to get to your parents, keep them updated about your whereabouts. >> Perfect. >> So that is the plan. >> Okay, sounds good to me. Just to address the getting a Chromebook for people that need iPads or phone for accessibility or translation purposes. My sister, for example, uses an iPad for accessibility. Now they're going to now that they're getting a Chromebook, will it be on district to buy the software or >> Can I ask a question for clarification? You say accessibility, you're referring to um students with disabilities who have it. >> No. So that those students will still have those iPads if it's used for um communication. >> Mhm. Uh so there's no change. >> Okay. >> Right. So those are
071those are actually managed by the district. So we push out the applications and everything on it. So no concerns with those. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Great questions. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Next one is um Dia McMillan. >> Da. Thank you. >> Da. >> Yes. So my name is Diane McMillan. I live here in Baldwin. I'm actually a parent of now used to be three but now two um Baldwin High School students. Um congratulations Mr. Mella on your position. It's good to see you in this capacity and not others. Um I have three questions today. My first question would be um how was um contractor source was there any sourcing of local meaning within our school district school district contractors um for the projects that have been being implemented um so that the
072community stakeholders can be involved and to just benefit the community. I'm real big on like economic opportunities. We can ask all your questions and we'll start adjusting. >> The second question I have is I didn't see in the plan. Um so my question is is there any projected timeline to where all of the schools in the district will be at full capacity for UPK? Um and then my third question would be what is the plan to actually not just have it written in you guys code of conduct or in your uh district plan but actually implement and show in real time what's being done with restorative practices. Okay, >> thank you. >> Um, I can answer the restored practice question first and quickly and then Dr. Robinson and ask him to answer your first two
073questions. Okay. So restorative practices few staff was trained at the secondary level so middle school and high school to perform restored practices and um David could add on but we do have every other week so by monthly built into the bell schedule time for circle which is your tier ones and the goal of that is to build that sense of culture and community um that's the real goal of circles of of historic practices at least the training that we all underwent is really to establish a strong culture of care and that's through the tier one circle. So we've been implementing now those tier one circles um for a couple of years now. Uh staff members write scripts and they write music scripts every summer um and they engage the students in variations of the scripts
074and it's a little bit of a morph between an advisory period and circle time. So um so it is happening live in action. Um, if there are infractions like behaviors and things of that nature, there are different levels than a tier 2 or tier three type circle doesn't necessarily mean that a student will not receive a consequence for a behavior. One doesn't have to do the other necessarily. So, they might get a consequence and they might still have circle time. You might have one of the two parties interested in a tier three type circle and the other student and family not interested. So sometimes it doesn't work. Um we can have a deeper conversation about that, but we have in the middle school and high school people who are kind of training to be able
075to do those tier 3es if they are needed. Um and they are happening. Um so if you have a specific example you want to talk about afterwards, we can talk about that afterwards. Okay. Um and then um I'm going to allow Dr. Robson to speak towards the uh sourcing question that you had >> and and UPK as well. I I'll start with the UPK if I may. So, so the capacity is really first based on the funding that we receive from New York State that gives us the the funding number for a certain number of slots. We don't do the capacity on a per building basis. We do it based on available space throughout the district. So, the program started at uh Milbour when we expanded beyond the capacity of Milburn. We searched for other
076spaces and we kind of retoled the situation at Schubert. So, that was an expansion site. uh we started last year with one classroom here. We now have two classrooms here. So the capacity question is really based on available space within the district and we're we're struggling with that because there's only so much space even for our I'll say K12 program. Uh one of the things that we have looked at with all of the bond work and the expansions at the elementary schools is additional education space. and that is on the horizon. It's not a next year. It's not going to be done by September. Um but we need more space period. That's why we've we've started on this um I'll say initiative to begin with. Um so that will be evolving year after year um
077for the foreseeable future. Um regarding the um the contractors and and local access. Um, New York State bid law requires us to publish bids and accept bids and award based on what they call lowest responsible bidder. So, some of the criteria that you mentioned is not a criteria we could put into a bid specification that you need to, let's say, reside in the community to to be able to get awarded your contract. That applies to the contractors themselves. Um, conversely though, I will say that we have a construction management firm right now. They are uh minorityowned. Um, and the two principles of the firm actually happen to be Baldwin residents. Um, and our architectural firm, it's a very large firm, but the principal, the vice president of design, um, that's assigned to us is also
078a Baldwin resident. Um, I will say anecdotally that's a blessing and a curse because I know where they live. So, uh, they calls at all hours of the day and night. Um, and it it actually has worked out. I know, uh, Mr. Randazzo has, uh, visited to drop off plans and get plans back, um, at all hours of the day. So, um, it is something that we're cognizant of, but, we also have to follow the regulations that New York State has. >> Thank you. >> Yes. >> Thank you. Okay. And just um one last one. Um we had Kelly Snow. >> Hi. Um I'm Kelly Snow. I happen to be a teacher at Baldwin High School. Um I work with the 811 program and the life skills program. Um I'm also the president of the
079union teachers union. So I just wanted to come introduce myself. Welcome. I look forward to working with all of you including uh Mr. Mella uh David. We were very excited um my students too to um have this student representative and and they did vote for you. They liked your video. Um also too, I know she had left, but um with the BTA, we're looking at our public relations vice president is looking to get more involved in the community. So helping with those college applications would be great. She also I know her, she would come to our life skills stands and participate with the kids. Um, Miss Fools, uh, we love to, you know, the, uh, national night out. I live in Long Beach. They had a big turnout there. You know, those are things that
080we as a union would love to work with you guys to get more involved in the community, uh, community. I, you know, we used to do the extravaganza and, you know, come dress up as an Easter Bunny and do that. We'd like to do more of those things. So, I look very forward to working with you, uh, Miss Fisher. Nice to meet you in person. But um good luck everybody and I look forward to this great school year. Russ Meadow, I work there. The roof and everything's looking good. I hope the bathroom near my classroom is looking good cuz he likes to use that one. Thank you very much and good luck this year. All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. Looking forward to collaborating with the DTA. We appreciate you coming out and saying
081looking forward to getting more. >> Well, I had the I had the night earmarked already to come. So, thank you. >> I took my aids to dinner and then came here. >> Excellent. Thank you so much. >> Thank you all for sharing during this this time and being respectful with your comments and wonderful questions. Thank you for your participation. >> Good night. Go home, please. >> This one say >> so Mr. Gray ready to give you some tassel tomorrow. >> Yeah, right now. >> Right now. Thank you, Mr. Gray for coming too. You want to have a conversation. Anyway, good luck. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, the next agenda item is special services. I drive. >> The board of education approves the recommendations for services of the committee on special education subcsem and
082committee on preschool special education for February, March, April, May, June, and July 2025 as detailed in the Thursday meeting. >> So moved by Mr. Smith, seconded by Miss. All in favor? I >> Okay, I'm calling for consideration of a consent agenda for business items 8 uh.03 through 8.26. Are there any items that you would like to withdraw from consideration for further discussion or subject? Anyone? >> Wait, what is it? 803 >> 80326. And that brings us up to facilities. >> I move that we >> Okay. Moved by Mr. Smith. Seconded. Seconded by Miss Fools. >> All those in favor. >> I can help. >> Okay. So, the motion carries and we can >> What was the ending one? What? What number did you stop? >> 8.26. >> All right. There was one. >> Now, we
083need to vote to approve >> at approximately 8.16. >> Yes. in or in 8.1. It's just reminding me something that may or need >> we're undoing this. >> Yeah, >> I don't think we have to undo it. I think the last time we did vote on it so I can still ask questions on it. >> So 86. Yeah, I can still ask questions on them and then we could still go back. There was no >> Western governors. Is that a new relationship? I don't remember seeing this. >> Yes, new relationships. Yes. So, we're um trying to burn our pool of potential candidates and that means trying to form more partnerships. >> Further it further. Yeah. So, what that means more relationships with uh universities or student teaching affiliations. There's no money exchange. It's just an
084agreement noting that we'll accept student teachers here if there's space and capacity. >> Um >> Okay. That's what I read it wrong. So it's the it's us accepting >> student goes from that university and um the reason why it's here is cuz there's insurance potential implications if someone is here and they get hurt. So we want to make sure it's all approved. >> So is it a program where they come in here and >> it's a standard student teaching program. So um if I'm teaching science and chemistry and I want to take on a student teacher, right? >> Um that's the person will uh stay with me for up to 12 weeks typically. So we predominantly work with Mallaloy Adelfi. Um our local universities LU we're looking to kind of um expand that a little
085bit. Okay. >> Um Western Governors has an online program. Grand Canyon is an online program. So we have >> residents perhaps locally that are taking online courses. So it provides them an opportunity to engage in student teaching. >> Okay. Thank you. >> And hopefully that turns into a potential sub position or teacher position. >> Go. Okay. And then the other one was um the Grand Canyon one that same news. >> Correct. Yes, same. >> Yeah, there's a few of them that you're going to see. >> I I can just say I was really delighted. I would just have to make that comment that we have expanded so many so many other colleges and universities because it really expands our pool. >> Correct. Correct. Yeah. >> All right. I was reading today. Do you want to
086rush me to that? >> Yeah, I'm good. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Good. We're good. >> Okay. So, I'm calling for consideration of the consent agenda for business items 8.83 through 8.26. So, move. >> Okay.
