001Good. Follow the meeting order. All rise for the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right, public to be heard. None. Right. I'm up with the good news. All right. From the high school from Jeremy Madler, Natalie Keller. There was a t-shirt sale to help raise money for our colleague with serious medical bills. And Natalie took the time to organize the ordering of the t-shirts and their distribution as well. This not only saved all of us the the shipping costs, but more importantly helped raise a substantial amount of money for one of our BHS family members. Uh from Jackson, from Mallerie Shell and Amanda Thomas, we would like to

002thank Judy from Eden Cafe for opening up her business to our first grade cooking club students. Judy hosted us on Monday the 24th of March when she was closed to the public. She planned an incredibly fun experience for our students. Students received their own Eden Cafe apron and were able to decorate their own baker's hat. They then had a sneak peek into the kitchen where the where they were able to decorate their own cupcakes. If you have a chance to support this business who went above and beyond to support our kids, please do so. And there's plenty more uh good news to look at. So, uh, please get online and take a look at that if you would please. Um, next up, it's our special education update. Mrs. Kelly Marciano, good evening. Thank you for

003having me today. So, I'm going to just go through the work that we've been doing this year. Kelly, can you just one second? Pause. Um, totally slipped my mind and I apologize. Um we had a uh devastating loss um last Wednesday. Um one of our senior students um tragically passed away. Um Dylan Hail. Um if we could at this time just just uh have a moment of silence, please. Okay, Kelly, now you're up and I apologize about that. No, no apology needed. Um, you know, I'll start too just saying our counselors have done a tremendous job supporting our community and our staff and our students. um you know they came some of them came in on Thursday which was great to open up the school to our students um and then today we had a

004lot of response so that was that was a a great way for us to support all of our students who are really struggling with Dylan's loss so absolutely all All right. All right. So, um, just starting off with our classification rate. So, we're still same as last year, hovering around that 14%. Again, um, as I've said every year since I've been here, we want to stay underneath that 15% for New York State. uh we are there as well as the region. So we're still hovering in that same area as the region. Um last year we had 283 students. This year we currently have 287. I do anticipate by the end of the year that we're going to have more students classified uh just based on the number of students from the multi-tered system of supports

005that have been referred as well as some parent referrals this year. It is an increase for us though from 13% to 14%. Um the region has also seen a similar increase. Uh the region has about a hundred or a thousand3 students total who are currently classified um with 938 last year. So as a region we've really been talking a lot about why are we seeing an increase? Why are we seeing a high level of need? Uh we've kind of come up with there's a lot of mental health concerns currently um that we're supporting our students with. We're also seeing a larger academic gap in the last couple of years um between like the intermediate and middle school levels is where we're seeing a lot of that gap. We're also still kind of as a team

006have been talking about is this because those students also miss a lot of foundational skills due to co um so how do we address that? It's been something we've looked at. Um they're seeing a a bigger need in more of that specially designed instruction and more of our students are needing u more self-contained supports. So that's a goal that we've been working on. So I'll talk about that in a minute as well. So our goals this year um we've established several. So one was to establish a guiding coalition for special education. This consists of our department leaders who are our special education teacher department leader. Um we have related service department leaders, a counselor department leader, social worker department leader, and then we also have a school psychologist who also serves as the UPK and

007preschool department leader. uh they coined themselves called the pupil support network. So we're really trying to support a variety of needs. This year they worked on um as a team really looking at what our special education curriculum is. Uh we looked at our current continuum and then determining what does uh our students need based on the profiles that we're now seeing for students and is there any needs for improvement or change. We also discussed as a team what professional um development do we need and how do we develop some specialized professional learning communities especially for those self-contained groups and then continuing to grow our preschool program and work study. And one thing that we're working on this year too is a collaboration with the New York State School for the Blind on hosting the Special

008Olympics which I'll get to towards the end. So, our people support network met at the beginning of the year um right in September and we discussed really taking us through the professional learning community process and developing a mission, vision, developing our values and our goals which you can see here. Um it's a a nice team that works really collaboratively together that really represents the entire district. We have people from every building who's there. Uh and our main focus again is that needs of our students. We work together to create a newsletter that goes out to our special education staff. We're able to put things like procedural information, different snippets of professional development, and other important information. Um, we've discussed our goals as a team and then really looking at what our student profiles are and

009how uh we support our students. One big goal that we've had this year that will continue into next year too is we do recognize we have a large population of students who are currently in self-contained classrooms which is um the most restrictive we have in district and so our goal is to really looking at the root of why and how do we promote more inclusion practices where possible for our students. One thing that we noticed as a team too is that our IEP writing um was weak and that we did not have enough continuity between each grade level or each building. So we brought in um the school improvement team from Bosei, Stephanie Burns, and she helps me develop a professional development on writing IEPs. And this was really a great time for us to

010get together. We took a half day, we had a morning session and an afternoon session um to really build an understanding of how to write the IEPs. Some of our staff it was great reminders and some of our staff are newer and really appreciated the time of just building that consistency together and then um determining what's essential in writing IEPs and then how to write effective goals. Uh one activity that was really fun that we did was we came up with metaphors for writing IEPs. Um so I put a couple in here. One I really liked was developing an IEP is like a sunflower because when it's implemented the child will bloom. So, I think that kind of shows exactly how our staff uh view the IEP writing process, which is great. So, we've spent

011a lot of time this year, too, on professional learning communities, and I know we've heard that from several um of the other administrators when they've done their presentations, but our couple of our cohort groups kind of were struggling based on how do they fit in that PLC model. So I have been meeting with the 1211 life skills classes and establishing essential skills for ELA math and adaptive skills. So looking at those daily living skills related services has met as a team as well to do a similar activity. And then next focus is to look at our 611 behavior classes and we'll be starting that work um actually next week to establish our essential skills for behavior needs and targeted assessments. um our life skills classes have established norms, a mission and vision and identified essential

012skills. So we're actually changing from uh what the classroom teachers are doing of essential standards looking at essential skills just because the continuum is across multiple grade levels and not just one in particular. So this is the work our 1211 professional learning team has done. So, they took the mission statement for Betavia and really felt that our students, even if they're in the 1211 life skills class, um should have the same criteria of leaving us, but they added with necessary support. So, I thought that was just telling how much they um envision our students to be able to do when they leave. For this one, it's just our example of what our essential writing and reading skills were. So, they identified six skills. I did ask them to narrow it down to five, but we

013debated a long time over that sixth one, so we kept it. Um, so our goal with this is that really families are starting to understand more of what our progression looks like from our prek students all the way up to 12th grade and some of them who stay with ocillar 22, making a continuum of curriculum materials that's found on um that's more comprehensive. Right now, a lot of our teachers are coming up with their own self uh created curriculum. So, we're really trying to build um more expectations and using what the other teachers are using as well, whether it's foundations and Hagerty and how that fits in. Um and then next week, we are meeting again for our next meeting and we're going to be doing some professional development on the science of reading and

014how does that fit to help build foundations and have our students become better readers. And then our related service team has really taken this idea of PLC's and have run further with it than I anticipated them doing this year. I'm super proud of this team. Um, each domain has determined their own essential skills and they're aligning the skills back to the actual IEP goals. They're also creating resources not only for our students who are identified, but our teachers as well and giving tier one suggestions and supports in the classrooms. um and our kindergarten teachers especially have been so grateful of when they come into the classroom our um I'll talk about it in a minute too but coming in and just giving suggestions has been a tremendous support. So our first group our speech and

015language therapy group came up with these five essential skills and each building developed their own essential skills but built off from each other. So this is an example of Jackson to John Kennedy. So each building is working on this continuum of skills too. So, we'll be able to see all the way up from kindergarten and preschool really all the way up through 12th grade of what we expect developmentally and what's appropriate at each grade level. This will be a great tool for us to also communicate with families of what we expect them to be able to do at each level um and when a student might need services. And then occupational therapy did a similar um did the same type of activity. They came up with their 52. This is an example of what John

016Kennedy came up with as our occupational therapists. Um, this is a team that's really driven into that um, consultation model. So, especially at that kindergarten level and our K1, they're actually going into classrooms, observing the whole class and saying, "Here's just some tweaks that you could do to support our students who are learning how to write." So whether it's how they're sitting, posture, um how they're forming certain letters, giving them lined paper just with highlights, uh they're really giving them those quick suggestions that are making tremendous difference for some of our students and then physical therapy. So, our physical therapists um also came up with their five skills and their focus was really looking at the functionality and accessing the building and the school and being able to manage the physical environment. And then by

017doing this work again, we're really hoping that we can communicate this to families so that they can celebrate when their students graduate from these services and really understand what does it mean when they graduate, what have they really accomplished and are able to do. Um and then Kelly Heisman is one of our speech and language pathologists. I mean, she's done a tremendous job leading this work with our teams. Um, her and I meet, we talk about kind of my vision, and then she's able to implement a lot of this work. So, our team has done a great job together. And then our work study. So, we've actually expanded our work study to also making sure our middle school students are starting to gain access to work study skills. We continue to make connections with the

018community organizations. Um, this year, really exciting. Our students are out at TOPS. They're helping um do shelving. They're helping getting things organized in the back. Uh we have more connections this year to different organizations such as the ARC. Um and we're really discussing post-secary opportunities and helping families get connected so when they leave us either at 22 or 18, they have a path um to continue with support. So these are just some of the highlights. Um I'm really looking forward to they're doing their seating sales soon. So, I'm hoping to grow some vegetables and flowers this year, even though I don't have a green thumb, but every year it's great. And then here's a great example of just March and all the activities that our high school students have been doing in work study. So,

019as you can see, they're they're extremely busy. Um, some students, it's a small group, meaning it's our postsecary students, so our 18 to 22 year olds who are able to go on job trainings. And then we do have whole class um trips that students are going out helping out at TOPS doing grocery shopping so they can come back and use some functional skills and then again having different activities for them whether they're going to the the YMCA. They were very thrilled they were able to go and tour the new facility um Arc Glow Independent Living and others. And our goal really is to make as many connections for our students outside of school as possible. And then our preschool program, we continue to grow and strengthen our program. We're currently servicing about 40 students. Um,

020and again, as you can see, we're still supporting Jese as our primary county, Orleans, and Wyoming. And then I broke down to how many different students are coming from different schools. So we continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our program too and really have designed a portrait of our students so that students are placed appropriately in each program which is helping us see tremendous growth with our students. Of the 40 students we're anticipating half or less of those students will need continued support in kindergarten which means that they're showing the growth and meeting the expectations to enter kindergarten. And then a special note here special Olympics. So, if you just want to note, May 22nd, we're going to be taking our middle school and high school 1211 students um over to Vendetta along with the

021school for the blind and some students from Jennese Valley Boseies. Um and we're going to be working on uh having our first Special Olympics um which has been a lot of work, but I have to say the New York State School for the Blind has been amazing at coordinating, supporting us through it as well. Um, and then Molly Gr Grimes, who's a speech pathologist, has really taken the lead in helping us organize this event. Um, so here's our shirts that we'll be wearing, which is exciting to show all of us together. Uh, and it'll be a great activity for our students. Um, and our hope is that we can expand it to more students in Bativia next year and then maybe looking at adding districts who are interested as well. And then continuing focus for

022next year is looking at continuing those monthly meetings with our people's support network. And our goal is going to be continuing that development of a portrait, adding more professional learning communities, writing around or I'm sorry, more professional development around goal writing for IEPs, looking at our professional learning communities for both our 611 teachers and then also adding in our 1211 who are our multi-age academic teams and then continue criteria for determining program placements and looking at our students who need more restricted placements and how do we support them as long in district as possible and then looking at referral documents for our free preschool students to school age. That's kind of where we're headed for next year. Any questions? I just want to say that we are excited about the special Olympics coming. They had

023approached me in almost a year ago. So, and we were just thrilled the opportunity. So, I want to thank them for their leadership. They've been great to work with. We're looking forward to having it. just come by on May 22nd just for some uh from 9 to 1. It'd be great. But that's we're excited about that. Yeah. Hopefully it doesn't rain. We do have a rain date for the 29th, but we're also going to try and potentially start at the school for the blind and walk to Vanetta with our kids. So, it'll be like a little parade. So, if you want to join us with that, that'll be great. Quick question. So when you are the students with disabilities, is that just children with IEPs or children with IEPs and 504s? Just IEPs. Okay. And

024in the beginning you mentioned we were trying to stay under the 15%. Why is that? So that's what the state wants the for us to be able to say that we're servicing our students and that we have targeted tier 1 instruction. So when we start to look at more than 15%, we start to say is something not working at tier one? Are we not meeting the needs of all of our students? So that kind of gives us that critical eye to say something's not working right. We need to go back and reflect it tier one and tier two. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, of course. Can you explain to me exactly what goes into an IEP? I've never seen one. Yeah, so they're a pretty extensive document. Um but we start off with what's called the

025present levels of education performance. So we look at a student's um academic performance, then their social performance, and their physical performance. And then from there, we align all of that to what's called management needs, which can be not just behavioral, it's also like the academic needs. So really, you should be seeing this um continuous thread throughout the IEP. So you see their present levels, what do they need to be successful and then we align that to goals for them and then how do we reach those is based on the accommodations that we give them. So whether it's they need um preferential seating, they need to sit near the instructor or they need uh text read to them. Um, and then testing accommodations. And I always tell everyone like our goal is not to give them

026the Cadillac, right? We're not trying to make it better or that they can do better than everyone. We're just trying to give them the level playing field. And if you can get that, you know, in a I drive a Jeep. That's pretty middle of the road car. If you can get that there in a Jeep, great. You don't need the Cadillac. But that's our goal is to get them level playing field. And that changes every year. Yes, we update it every year based on their current profile and what they need. Um, and then we hold an annual review every year to talk about what progresses they have they've made on the goals, what do they need next year to be successful. And hopefully, you know, some students we declassify and that's always a celebration. It's

027hard for some parents though because it's been like this thing that they've held on to and we're like, "No, your child is doing really great. This is a great great thing for them." And with a declassification, there's also a declassification plan. So, we still keep them on our radar. Yeah. Um and can I ask how many um 8 to 20 year olds are are serviced by this district? 18 to 22 year olds or you have older. Yeah. Yeah. So right now we have about six in that and next year we'll have seven. Yeah. Which is I mean the state changed it from 21 to 22. Um and we've only had one student who stayed from 21 to 22 this past year. Uh once they turn 22 they have to exit. So the day before her

028birthday, we had a little celebration and we have one student who will exit us in November. But yeah, I mean we're all sad to see that one go, but I mean we're sad to see them all go, but he's done a great job. Yeah. Any other questions? I just want to say I think it's fantastic like Jason was saying about the Special Olympics. Yeah. Um being from Jamestown, um it's a annual thing like I'm sure we're going to make it up here. Yes. And I had the pleasure last year of being there for um for my stepson Brady who goes there and he's been involved in it for a number of years. And let me tell you, it's it's a celebration, not just a it's a fantastic thing. So, if you guys can make it

029to see it, it it's an awesome thing. It was a huge thing. The previous district I was in is in Wayne County and it was a huge thing for us. All the schools came together. We rotated on who hosted it. Um, but it it's such a celebration and we had a parade of our our athletes through the school after when they came back and it really is just such a great opportunity for them and the Special Olympics have been wonderful to work with and are happy to help us in any way. So, I'm excited to hopefully keep growing it. Yeah. The other piece that's not true that's kind of tied into that is our unified bowl. That's fantastic. You know, it's one of those matches of year and just it's just a fantastic afternoon. a

030lot of enthusiasm, a lot of a lot of dedication, a lot of fun. So, that kind of kind of speaks to the Spartan Olympics society as well, too. Absolutely. Having a tough day and there's a unified bowling match that night. If you go there, your day is so much better. So, yeah. Yeah. All right. Any other questions? Kelly, thank you very much. Yeah. Thank you. All right. Next up, Mr. Lang. Final budget update. All right. So, we've come to the final budget presentation um during our budget development season here for the 2526 school year budget. Um here's kind of where we at where we're at the timeline. Today on the 21st um during the board meeting on the agenda there'll be a review and adoption of the district's budget. That's a till a general fund

031budget for the 2526 school year. Um and then some other important dates obviously May 12th we'll have the budget hearing uh here which superintendent's conference room and then May 20th is the budget code itself. So again, very few changes or actually no changes since the last time the the board has reviewed the budget. Um so in in regards on the revenue side of the budget, uh state sources are still um projecting about a 7 and a half% increase. Um the real property taxes um include the um 2.2% increase in the tax levy. So that's showing here as revenue as well. Appropriated fund balance has been decreased in alignment with the district's long range financial plan. Then other revenue has been adjusted based on previous years and anticipated um receipts for the for the 2526 school

032year. So in total we're showing a 63,310,18 in in total revenue estimated revenue for the 2526 uh school year. And so what does that look like in the tax levy? So again um no changes from the previous presentation. Um and again I just want to uh say for for for the purpose of this example um I assumed no changes to assessments and no changes to equalization rates. Um so as if overall assessments increase then that would drive the tax rate down. So this is kind of worse we're hoping the worst case scenario. Um so included in the uh in the tax levy there would be about um an increase of of almost 35 per thousand um in in regards to a tax rate. So again for a uh a home valued at 200,000 that would

033be about a $69.80 increase from year to year and then $100,000 would be obviously $34.90. So when looking at the total uh revenue side of the budget, we break it up into the major components um the lion share is uh state sources which is our state aid. Um one thing to note about state aid as of right now um we do not have an enacted budget. Um so the legislature has legislature has has put together an extender. Um so at this point the state has not approved um the governor's state aid figures at this point. Um so what we've included in our state sources revenue side of the budget is the governor's proposal. Um so we're really hopeful that um the legislature enacts a budget um that at least meets the needs of of the

034governor's uh proposed budget. Um other other sources of revenue obviously our tax levy is 33% and then um appropriated fund balance is um down to around 6% and then other revenue is about 5%. On the expenditure side of the budget again nothing has changed since the last presentation. Um two 2.3% increase in general support. uh we have a little over 5% increase in instruction. Um one thing to note obviously instruction in regards to the total dollar change that's the largest amount of dollar change as we talked about. Um the major driver between that is uh salary benefits for our instructional staff. Um transportation we are having an in showing an increase in transportation. Again, as you can see from the note below, um as we've talked about in previous presentations, the district h um has

035to rebid our um our outplacement special education transportation both for school year and summer. So, we anticipate an adjustment to the rates and as a result, we're showing close to a 10% increase in transportation cost from year to year. Um we have yet to know that. um we won't be the the those contracts will be bid um but we won't award them until after the budget um will be voted on. And then uh obviously employee benefits we're showing an increase of 6 almost 6.9%. Debt service we're showing some debt um fall off. We have some debt that has been falling off. So we're a decrease in about 20% and then inter transfers in large increase about 340%. But again, as we discussed, um because we're having debt fall off in order to stabilize the um

036tax cap, which we talked about earlier in the uh in the budget process, we are going to be contributing a little more to our current capital project. And that's why you're seeing an increase in the inter fund uh transfers line. So you can see kind of offsetting decrease in debt service and an increase in interferon transfer just to make sure that we're stabilizing um those figures which are utilized to to calculate our maximum um maximum uh tax cap increase. And then finally again this is a chart that that breaks up the general fund expenditures into the major components and then compares them. Obviously instruction large portion of the district's budget is instruction at 57% transportation around 6% debt service 3% interfund transfer 1% then general support um um about 11%. So again this is just

037kind of the boiler plate of the budget. A budget summary it shows the total budgeted amount is $63,310,000 for the 2526 proposed budget. That's an increase of a little over $3 million represents almost exactly 5% in budget year budget increases year-toear. The tax levy to support this budget is 20,790,870. Um the maximum that we could have increased it would be by $452,000 from the previous year. We will be increasing at $451,534 which represents a 2.22% increase from the prior year. tax levy. So again, when we look at the ballot for this year, there's be uh really only um one proposition, which is the total general fund budget for the 2526 school year. And then we have two at large members um that will be elected for a term uh 3-year term um 712025 to 6:30

0382028. A little a little information about the budget vote. Um, we'll have a budget hearing at uh right here at 6:00 on May 12th. Um, and that's going to be in the super in the superintendent's conference room. The uh the annual district vote will be on May 20th and that will be between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. We have two uh election districts. Um, election district number one will be all a part of the district north of Main Street and that will be voting at Robert Morris. And then anyone south of Main Street, Route 5 will be at the high school. Any questions? Thank you. Thanks, Andy. All right. Next up, superintendent report. Mr. Smith. Thank you. I just want to begin by thank you, Mr. L, for the budget process that

039began back in January. the uh presentations that I think had been efficient. I want to thank him for that. I know we still have more to do with the budget vote, but between that and also monitoring all that happens at the federal level with the grants and aid and all those updates. We're still monitoring that. We just want to recognize Andy for the process that has been successful thus far. Congratulations to our Mr. Bavia contestants. It was a great night. Want to recognize Gavin Trippy, Will Fulton, and Kayla Evans for finishing in the top three. Gavin, of course, was named Mr. Bavia. a great night for only about 11 participants. Uh it was a lot of fun and a lot of good um work was done by our kids. Welcome to your office Brian Moziki

040as our school resource officer filling in for the next six months while Officer Stevens is out on medical leave. um you look forward to her career in the fall, but Brian has already done a couple uh calls and has some we've done some some positive work already for us. So, so he's here this week on his own after shadowing officer Steve Officer Kennedy last week. Officer Kennedy, uh we've been still proceeding with state testing. Has been a bit of a challenge with all the with all the internet issues statewide. Uh we're going to be having more testing this week. Dr. Core has been working with principles and our teachers. It's been a bit frustrating. Uh it's it's all been beyond our control, but there's more testing happening this week and this month and last month.

041No, it the state probably learned a really hard lesson. Um they required every district to jump into CBT this year. It's the first year that everyone's been required. Last year we only did two grade levels and in doing so they didn't really test the system and everybody got on we all had the same approach. Do we before the break do math after the break and the system just didn't work. You're frustrated kids frustrated teachers frustrated parent. So they took complete ownership which you know a little consolation but still not accept. Yeah, it wasn't a good And then a couple other quick things that Molly and I went through our show along with some other principles, the rest of our principles on March 28th at the library. Uh we had a huge turn off of that

042and also successful um students. I think Ken Boko was also recognized for this work as well. And finally, the last day school has been settled. It's in it was in my last update because we had adjusted slightly because of the weather. Um I don't know what it is right now but but I did share it last month my report to the parents. So just check the calendars out there and we shared it. So the last day school and the half days have all been finalized um for the end of June. All right. So, on the new business, uh, number one, approve the job description for the human resources director. Any questions on that? No. All right. Could I have a motion, please? Mr. Roll, could I have a second? Second, Miss Anderson. All in favor?

043I. Any oppose? Okay. Number two, approve the resolution for the 2025 2026 capital outlay project state environmental quality review act as a type two action. Any questions? All right. Could I have a motion, please? Miss Lick, could I have a second? Second, Miss B. All in favor? Any opposed? Right now, we're on to uh consent grouping.
