001Members of the board of education dedicated including Molly Fitzpatrick, our physical therapist. Jessica Spicer, our occupational therapists, and Jackie Ber and Kendra Perau, our speech language pathologists. These outstanding professionals play a vital role in the success and well-being of our students, and I would like to highlight the profound impact they have on our school community. Our physical therapist, Molly Fitzpatrick, works tirelessly to support students in developing their mobility, strength, and coordination, ensuring they can navigate the school environment safely and confidently. Molly's expertise and commitment enable students to fully engage in academic and social experiences, fostering independence and self asssurance. A highlight this year has been the addition of sensory pathways around the halls of Mont Road that all students utilize and benefit from. Our occupational therapist, Jessica Spicer, provides invaluable assistance in helping students develop
002fine motor skills, sensory processing abilities, and self-care strategies through individualized interventions in creative problem solving. Jessica empowers students to access learning opportunities, participate in classroom activities, and build the skills necessary for lifelong success. Our speech language pathologists, Jackie Boore and Kender Perau, are instrumental in supporting students with communication challenges, enabling them to express themselves effectively and engage meaningfully with peers and educators. Their dedication to enhancing language development, articulation, and social communication skills has made a sign significant difference in the lives of countless students. A highlight this year has been the addition of a large-scale communication board in both our main hallway and on our playground to foster communication for all students. These professionals work collaboratively with teachers, family, and staff to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students. Their compassion, expertise, and
003unwavering dedication ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive. On behalf of our school community, I extend my deepest gratitude for their contributions and respectfully request the board's recognition of their invaluable service. Their commitment to our students exemplifies the mission and values of our district, and we are truly fortunate to have them as a part of our team. Thank you. [Applause] As you might know, students at the FM High School have been raising funds for Camp Good Days for more than 30 years. Camp Good Days provides a summer camp experience for children whose lives have been impacted by cancer and cickle cell anemia. Fundraising for Camp Good Days occurs throughout the year and ends with the dance marathon event in March. Now, please turn your attention to the screen to watch a brief video
004taken during this year's event. Hallelujah. [Applause] Wow, more than $145,000 raised. That is an impressive total. FM, I think that deserves another round of applause. These funds will be used to send more than 180 children to camp this summer. What you might not know is that this year's fundraising total is the highest amount ever raised in the history of the event. [Applause] And just for reference, in 1997 when I was student council president helping to organize the event, and it was a 24-hour event, just to just to let you know, um we raised $35,000. So, thanks to all of your hard work and passion, FM is making remarkable strides for an incredible cause. Thank you to the 2025 MC's, student council members, students supporting the technology elements of DM, and to the dance marathon faculty

Thank you guys for coming. Congratulations. If all of you students and your parents would like to leave, you're w you're welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting. But thank you all for coming. Wow. you know how to clear a room. Well, it's a perfect time to move into item 3.01, which um is an exempt session. So, um, be it resolved that the board of education of
007the Fateville Manly Central School District enter into exempt session for the purpose of discussing matters related to the discipline of a particular person and collective negotiations. May I have a motion? Thank you, Jason and Chrissy. All in favor? Anybody opposed? Great. For those of you in the audience, um we hope to be back in a short while. Um just so you all know, if you'd like to stick around, you're welcome to. We are planning to return. We must return. We must return. We will be We will be returning. We're going to move on. First of all, thank you all for your patience. Uh really appreciate you stuck around. Um item 4.01, a presentation on the 2526 budget. Brad Corbin will be our presenter. Uh good news. I'll be quick. I said we've done this a
008couple times already going through the three parts. Uh we did a brief uh summary portion uh previously and so tonight we'll kind of uh finish up and if there's any questions feel free to stop me and and I'll go. So, three-part budget, again, capital part, administrative part, and program part. And I'll talk more about these as I go. Uh, capital budget, you can see an increase of about 1.9 million or 12.4%. And overall, we're at about 17 million within the capital portion. Administrative increase is 214,000. It's about a 3.2% increase. That part of the budget represents about 7.08 million program. The largest part, uh, the increase is 2.9 million. It's a three and a half% increase overall out of our budget. Uh the portion from program represents 86 million. Uh the big news as far
009as at the bottom staffing and program no cuts to program or staffing including mental health staffing and services. And I'll talk about those as I go through from the pie chart. You can see there uh the three portions broken out. The biggest being the blue one being program and again around the 85 million representing about 74% capital about 17 administrative about nine. Overall uh from a three-part perspective, it's usually somewhere in that uh you know under 10% for administrative capital anywhere between 15 and 20 and program in that 70 to 75. From a dollar's perspective, you can see 2425 at 111 last year, 2526 projected increase is about 4.6%. Uh you can see to the right the changes again echoing those amounts I just talked about and again no cuts to either program or staffing.
010This is the uh three-part, excuse me, this will be the three-part budget. You'll see when the booklets go out to the public, uh it breaks it down from a component. Uh you can see there, this is program that bottom being the part I think we've just talked about and that 85.8 million overall increase being at 3.25. Uh second slide here I've got is is broken down between administration and capital. You can see administration at 3.85% increase and then the capital portion being the largest amount at 11.5%. I'll talk about the reason for that in a second. And then overall, you can see a 4.6% increase from budget to budget. This is really the primary slide I use to kind of talk uh kind of kind of breaks everything down into into a pretty detailed analysis
011here with really four main components. So you can see here uh we've got basically salaries at 2.4 million. Uh this is something kind of we've talked about I think in the past where you kind of get into where you've got fixed costs or variable costs and in this case salaries uh being negotiated or or forecasted. It's really a fixed cost. Health insurance and benefit costs uh increased rates this year. It's a 1.4 million increase and again that would be considered another fixed cost. The next item we had a decrease of about 500,000 and that's related to the capital transfer. Went from 1.5 million down to 1 million. The reason for that is really a lot of the construction work we've been doing where we've got the $52 million high school project and then the $15
012million uh roofing safety and security project. The last item being debt service. It's a $ 1.9 million increase and it's really based on the fact that the construction costs have started but the corresponding debt hasn't flowed yet. Uh that'll start when when that when the projects are done, we submit those final cost reports. So if you take those four components and you add up the dollars, you're going to represent about 5.2 million. Mental health services is a slide we've been showing for the last couple years just talking about some of what we provide here at the district. You can see here uh those actual uh individual pieces uh broken out there from the family school leaison, counselors, psychologists, etc. Budget on a five-year trend, you can kind of come down and focus on the last
013line that 2526 116 million. It's increase of 4.64. You can see up on that on the right hand side the percent changes through the years. It's kind of hovered somewhere around that high fives. This year we're down a little bit at that 4.6 mark. Next, we'll talk about revenue. Uh revenue is primarily made up of three components being uh property taxes, state aid, and that what I'd call other revenue. And you can see there as far as what that breakout is, taxes being the primary here at FM, it's about 65%, state aid about 30, and other revenue represented at five. And I'll talk about these as I go through more detail. State aid being the first uh kind of I guess right down to the last bullet that state aid is projected to be 3
01434.8 million. It's an increase of about 830,000 or 2.4% and it represents approximately around 30% of FM revenues and I'll talk about that increase in a second. So here was state aid. You can see the main components within it. Foundation aid being the the top one. Uh I like to consider these things as you can see with the uh uh the main components there that you got really more of a fixedbased item or what I'd call as a spend based item. So foundation aid is something that's driven. It's a formula based uh driven item where you've got in our case somewhere around that $19.9 million give or take. The rest of those items are really spend based. So it's an activity that where any kind of spending in that generates a corresponding amount of aid.
015Overall the main fluctuations foundation aid went up somewhere around the two and a half percent give or take uh we had a decrease a little bit in high cost aid with some shifting of students from Bosey's programs back to FM transportation went up about 340 and that was really based on spending increased kids uh increased bus costs things of that nature generated a higher amount of aid taxes is the next slide uh you can see in the middle uh the levy itself is 72 and a.5 million 3.49% uh two 2.45% 45% or excuse me, $2.45 million increase and then 2425. You go to this current projected year, the cap being at 3.56, an increase of 2.6 million. The increase itself for the tax levy purposes would be at that cap level of 3.56 and again
016at that 2.6 million. Uh the bottom bullet is one it's it's basically it's it is a projection. It's an impact on a $100,000 home. That would represent about a $54 increase. But that piece that you can kind of see in the bottom in parenthesis, the projected cost, this is using a 10% increase in the assessment, but also using prior year equalization rates. Those rates aren't out yet. That projection amount is something after talking to the local assessor for Manius, that's kind of the amount where I got that. So overall in $100,000 home, this would project out about $54. Other revenue is the smallest component. You can see the breakout of those of those of the actual components of other revenue and represents about 6.4 4 million. Uh you can see here uh the components listed
017out with the corresponding dollar figures. If you go over on the right hand side, you can kind of see some of the drivers of that interest income. It's really just a shift in budget to actual. Uh we increased actual what we anticipated for revenue at about 1.3 million in interest. Uh we had an increase of prior year refunds of about 100,000 and the big one being assigned fund balance. So basically, if you think about it, this year, if you take your budget and you compare revenues to expenditures, you needed to uh provide another about 1.27 million to offset that that that shift or that difference between revenue and expenditures. So that's really what's kind of driving this year's budget. Uh there'll be uh funds that we'll need to appropriate about 1.3 million more than we
018had in the past. So overall, similar to what we saw with uh on the expenditure side of things, it's really made up of three main components. So we talked about state aid incurries in about 830,000 or 800,000 as I've got on the slide that's made up of foundation aid transportation aid and Bosey's aid property taxes an increase with the levy represents about 2.6 million or a 3.56% levy increase and then other revenue is really made up primarily of what you can see there in parenthesis being that additional $1.3 million worth of appropriated fund balance. So overall if you take those numbers and add them up it gets you to somewhere around that 5.2 million and that offsets against that 5.2 2 million that we saw with expenditures tax levy perspective. You can kind of see
019here in 21-22 uh starting in 2223 you were down at like 1.1 to 1.8%. Those were years during COVID time period as well as the federal aid kicked in. So the tax uh basis or the increase end up being a little bit lighter. The last three years have been sitting somewhere in the threes from 3.8 to 349 and then this year at 3.56. Next steps will be the adoption of the budget. Ideally, that would be tonight. Then the budget hearing itself would be May 12th. And then the vote would be May 20th. And that's the presentation. There any questions? Brad, so I know we're supposed to adopt the budget tonight, but yet we the number you have plugged in for state aid is tenative because the state hasn't approved their budget yet. Correct. Good question.
020Yeah. So, at this point, uh we don't have a final uh budget from the governor. Uh there hasn't really been anything stated in regards to any changes from a foundation aid perspective or or things of that nature. Uh my plan usually what I've done in the past and what I'd probably recommend here would be anything that we'd kind of maybe have to go through and and impact I would probably go through and impact the appropriated fund balance and offset it with that. At this point I don't know anything different though why it would be drastically you know changed from what we've currently got. But good point. We don't have a final number yet. Are there any other questions? Okay. Thank you very much, Brad. Appreciate it. Thank you guys. Okay, Katherine. Item 4.02 presentation. Assistant
021Superintendent Dton will present information on connections between the district strategic plan and curriculum and instruction. Hi everyone. Thank you very much for letting us present a few minutes um with some highlights from our April 1 parent council meeting. And I'm here with Laurel Kza and we're going to kind of tag team a little bit to talk about um what we talked about during that April 1 meeting. And we're really focusing um on three parts of the strategic plan. We're going to give you some highlights um in each of those areas and show you some of the connections that we're having from the uh strategic plan to our classrooms. So, we'll start with teaching and learning. Everything that you see here is a part of our strategic plan. So, if you're interested um in the public,
022it's um on our website and you can see um the priorities there, but we're going to um start just by taking a look um with personalized learning first. So, again, personalized learning is a new term. It's not particularly um new in terms of what we are doing. Um but when we're talking about personalization and learning, we're really just talking about making sure that in planning, in instruction, in assessment that we make sure that students unique needs, strengths, um and their interests are a part of those pieces. So the example that we'll give here is a photograph from a current uh podcasting um project for all of our sixth grade students in both of our middle schools. So, this is something that is cross-disciplinary. All of our sixth grade um students are a part of this
023right now. It's basically a chance for them to dig into content across multiple content areas um to create an inquiry question on something that they are really interested about digging deeper on. Um they do research, they work with their teachers um to answer questions, they edit um they write um extensively and the final product is they create their own their own personal podcasts which will be shared with their peers as well as others around the community um to deepen their learning. And moving along to computer science and digital fluency, we are now fully in. We've been planning for this uh state mandate um which was this year for a good four years and um we have added we also extended it to add some workshops for middle and high school students that all of them
024are now using Chromebooks. uh they were so popular the the Chromebook introduction to the Chromebook Wi-Fi network networking you know navigating internet little social media that we're going to be um talking about with talking to the sixth grade teachers to see uh if we can add another course uh the teachers were very pleased with that and the students also and we also do this orientation high school they receive a new Chromebook in the high schools we just take it a step further again to make sure they understand what it the implications of having this powerful device. Uh we also in in addition added benchmarks in the fourth, 8th and 12th grade levels. So teachers just have some indicators to to make sure they're attending to these skills. And then um then moving to the professional
025learning piece. uh we have so much professional learning in technology especially with so many tutorials online courses that we have decided the instructional technology team and I that we can leverage um AI to help us create our own indivi individualized professional learning for for teachers. We can also track and so the teachers feel more comfortable taking various levels. It can be at any time anytime they want to to do this. I think the other beautiful throughine um on professional learning um is how we have view AI. So when we looked at professional learning in the fall of um we were reticent um about AI. We were talking about banning it. We weren't sure about it. We spent a full day of um professional development in the fall of 2023 um with um with Dr. Bill
026Daget and teachers across the country who are utilizing it. We really dig into dug into the research and were very strategic in all of the professional learning that happened from there and that really culminated with our um with our October uh 31st instructional fair where we had multiple teachers leading sessions on how they are using AI really effectively and ethically um for students um and within their own work lives. So our next um session uh our next section is school environment. So again, these are the pieces that are on our website for anybody that wants to dig deeper into what those um pieces are. Um we're going to talk a little bit um about data collection first. Okay. Um so we we'll talk about Tri-State in a little bit, but they really recommended that we
027have focus groups, continue with focus groups for teachers, parents, and students. And those were incredibly insightful. Um, so we we collected a lot of data for that and it's really dictating how we're going to be moving forward with AI, especially with students and their views of AI uh and with teachers and um yeah, we just we a lot a lot of data we collected. We're also really making sure that we're prioritizing student voice and all of that data. So, in addition to digging in very very deep on the R RMS surveys, um our 5 through 12 social studies teachers are continuing the on Tuesdays we vote um initiative around the district, which has actually g uh given us a lot of great data on big questions like what are your thoughts on a potential statewide
028ban of cell phone use and that's really lent um us into creating some some deeper conversations with students about some things that will be impacting them um and their learning. In addition, um, our literacy pilot, um, and we're we're nearing the finish of that as we come to the end of the school year. Um, student voice has been a big part of feedback on that as well. We've, uh, we've sent multiple surveys to all of our third through sixth grade students, and I so appreciate all of their transparency and their honesty. They've given some really fantastic suggestions that will help us um, make decisions and move forward on the literacy piece. In terms of our DEI work, we really took um to heart all of the recommendations from our DEI committee, which is a combination
029of community members, students, administrators, and teachers. And a big piece um that we would talk about this year is a curriculum review. And so we have over 45 teachers K through 12 who are engaging with Dr. Meredith Madden um on a really in-depth curricular review which will be turn uh turnkeyed to their colleagues in coming years. Okay. Um, in regards to ensuring inclusion, equity, um, like we would love, we have so many examples and we were planning for this to share with you, but we know time is of an essence, so we're just sort of glazing over everything. But, you know, using the assisted technology, making sure it's just not certain students and teachers know about it, but everyone's um, a part of that. And the technology is just a wonderful tool to leverage that
030for home use and for school use. On the professional learning um side of things, we again we continue to utilize um Dr. Madden on all of our staff development days. We've had multiple sessions um with her, not just with our teachers um but she also has done work with our supervision aids as well as our TAs on topics like microaggressions and and building positive relationships um with all students. Um we also have administrative leadership leading um smaller groups on work in restorative practices um mental health DEI as well as action research. From here we head to our our last section of our strategic plan which is service learning um and community partnerships. So we mentioned that the Tri-State Consortium we had a review. So the team came back after two years and took took a
031look at all the recommendations that we took a look at and um we provided the process that we took and they told us that that was the best process that any school district has ever taken. If you think of all the schools from downstate too, these big-time schools, they said they had never seen um such a great process. And that process started immediately after they left is leveraging all the information of our amazing teachers and what they do. And so they provided the drive to and the steps to how we were going to focus on addressing all these recommendations. Um so again we that review was just talking about the equity integration of the K12 standards and then also professional learning. So um they couldn't give us advice. It was it was pretty incredible. We
032were we were shocked. Um in terms of some of the the service learning pieces, um I'll let Laurel speak to to some of the the student clubs. Um, for us, um, we're really just trying to make sure that we, um, extend as much as we can beyond the classroom. Um, right now we are working, our director of council, uh, of counseling is working with OC on some, um, pilot courses to allow for college credit. Um, not just in AP courses, but for all students at all levels. And so we'll be piloting um multiple courses that will allow students to gain um OC credit which can also be transferred to other colleges and that won't be something that will be specific to our STEM courses um but it is cross-disciplinary and we have multiple teachers um
033who are gaining that accreditation so that we can start that next year. Yeah. And in with this with the service learning and and future focus educational practices. The one photo is our uh Chromebook repair club. The first one on the left and and we just had one of our meets today. So the officers we just planned for next year. And it's great because last after last year, you know, we were just going to be Acer certified. We've been I've been working with that tech that um our sales rep for years to get this started. And this the tri-state consortium said we said we really should explore that. So This is year two. So they have been telling us, I want to learn soldering. So this year they learned soldering and now they have great ideas
034for next year. So and so we have other clubs, coding clubs, uh we have the middle school and we're getting giving them more of a voice to tell us, okay, you tell us where you want to go in that and what direction to move in. Um also, you know, they chose to to go to Loheed Martin. we, you know, have outreach with the UEIGO and where we have that's where they have all the the helicopters. Um, and then Syracuse and then also Cornell. So, it's great that they're having gaining these leadership experiences, but they're they're using all that technology knowledge. So, we we know that we are out of time at this point. Um, we just want to say that, you know, looking to the future, um, thinking about just where we're finishing at the
035start of this school year, um, we'll be do adopting a new literacy core curriculum. Um we are engaging in work around the New York inspires plan which is the the recommendations that came out of the blue ribbon commission. The first part of that is the adoption by New York State of a portrait of a graduate. Our district curriculum council is already at work on a Fateville Manley's portrait of a learner. We really feel that that should be a K12 perspective and not just um the high school, but it will honor um the portrait of a graduate while also including um the the skills that we feel um are most important for all of our K12 learners. We'll be completing our uh CRSE reviews and we'll we'll be continuing um a push towards um our strategic
036plan in the areas of professional learning. And within those pieces, I just want to emphasize student a voice appears in every part of of that plan. And then we'll also we're um this is our second year. We have a steam team that we've put together for the high school. Well, then that's just to to break down those those uh department barriers that sometimes they you know they're very focused on their department, but we're seeing that they're really have a lot of similarities and and ideas and then they're just looking to work together. So, it's been wonderful to just have a steam team at the high school. So, we're looking we're exploring that the middle schools and then the elementary especially because we're be starting coding teams in the elementary uh next year. be rolled out,
037you know, the middle school and the high school with the with the teams. Um, and then also in regards to AI, I have a hand I'll just give to Dr. Ty. And this just gives you a a timeline of how we've been uh learning about AI with teachers, where we're moving with teacher um professional learning and use and how they rolled out and then also with students using it too. So, I'll leave that to you if you're interested in any of that. That's it. Thank you. All right, thank you so much for your time. Thank you. I know you guys uh went through that really quickly and appreciate that, but there's a ton of really substantial information that you presented and congratulations on the tri-state um feedback or lack thereof, I guess. I don't know.
038Um but that was really a lot of really great information. So, thank you very much for sharing. Does anybody have any questions? Uh you mentioned a couple times about the new literacy program. When do you anticipate that you will be selecting which of those programs and will you be coming back to share that information with us? Very very soon. And yes, we look forward to presenting that and all of the data that that went into that which is great. Thank you. I like very very say by the end of the month. Thank you, Laurel and Katherine. And thank you for inviting us to your um I want to say workshop day. What did we call instructional fair TV day? The fair. Uh I enjoyed the entire day. I'm a glutton for all that good stuff.
039I love the mortar board and the oak tree. Whoever designed that was brilliant. Um and just thank you for all your That was AI. Was that AI? It was. Thank you, Bill Daget. Great. Thank you. Thank you all very much. Appreciate it. Okay, item 4.03, president's report. Um, so we are preparing to send out the our initial stakeholder survey to all those different stakeholder groups for the superintendent search. Um, if you haven't already, please make sure you get Dr. Cook your feedback on that. and um came up today. I'm curious how people feel if they would like to include demographic information included in that survey or not. It sounds like it's typically not included. Um does anybody really want to have it included for additional context or splicing or dicing the data? Anybody? Okay. So
040then I will ask him to leave that off and but if anybody else has any other feedback, please let him know. Um and then you will have an email in your inboxes. Um it looks like Dr. Ty has completed his self evaluation for the to kickstart the process. So, our work um you if anyone has any questions about how to do that, but we need to have everybody have their evaluations completed and super eval no later than May 12th, please. So, if you're running into any issues, please don't wait till May 12th to tell me. Um and thank you. That's it. Item 4.04, superintendent report. Thank you, President Fitzgerald. My superintendent's report is located uh backup information and board docs. Item one, capital project update. I'm pleased to report that the spring recess period of
041four of the contractors working on the high school construction project, as well as the contractors working on the recently approved $15.4 million roofing, safety, security, and capital transfer project. valuable time without the students in the building to make some substantial progress. For example, the new roofing contractor completed their work uh with respect to the full tear off and replacement of the asphalt shingle roof on the district office which had not been done since the building was constructed in the 1990s. In addition, the top coat of the at the bus loop uh at Enders Road was mil and new asphalt was put down to refurbish the entrance way to the school. Item two, school start time committee. Our school start time committee will meet again this week to continue their work on exploring start time shifts
042and examining the high school bell schedule for potential changes. The committee is not only looking at adjusting the start times, but also revisions to the high school bell schedule, which will take full advantage of new facilities such as the expanded high school cafeteria to provide lunch for all students. To assist them in their endeavors, the committee tasked the administrators to partner with a transportation advisory firm for an efficiency study as well as working with scheduling consultants who are better equipped as they have helped other districts navigate these potential shifts. Item three, the RMS school climate and culture survey wrapped up over spring break. Thank you to all of our families who participated in the most recent school climate and culture survey. Research and marketing strategies out of Baldwinville, our neutral thirdparty vendor who collaborates to
043ensure confidentiality and anonymity of the responses indicates that the response rate was very impressive. We look forward to sharing the results, especially about the cell phone policy and the school start time questions in the very near future. Item next, the Udica National School Safety Award. I'm pleased to report that our school district was awarded with the Udica National School Safety Award, Titanium with Honors, for the 17th year in a row. Congratulations to our entire buildings and grounds department led by Jeff Brown and our ombosi safety officer Kelly Nich for their collective efforts to ensure that the school district was recognized and honored for its ongoing efforts to promote the safety of the students and the staff. Upcoming special events. As a reminder, the final installment of parent council will be held in 9:00 a.m. Thursday,
044May 1st, both in person and virtually. This edition will feature a discussion about the proposed budget that will go before the taxpayers later in May. In addition, our FM Zen Group, which sponsored this year's Big Read, will host the rescheduled community event and mental health panel session on Monday, May 5th from 6:30 to 8:30 in the Fagville Manas High School auditorium. At that session, we'll advertise the dates for the viewings of the movie Screenagers, the Next Chapter, and Screen Aagers Under the Influence, which are being planned for late May or early June. As the board of education is aware, depending on the final details of the New York State budget, school districts will have to have a cell phone policy in place by August 1st. Middle school Latin concerns. The governance team is in receipt
045of a number of letters in support of the district to teach in-person Latin classes at both middle schools. We are delighted that one of the Latin teachers has voluntarily offered to teach a six class in order to accommodate students at both buildings. While I regret that our initial budgetary planning caused some consternation over the potential loss of in-person instruction, I do not regret the overall exercise which compelled everyone to examine historical enrollments over the years coupled with the need to boost interest in the program. Unfortunately, I suspect that similar conversations will have to be had in a variety of areas as we go forward in the future budgets. quite possibly with reduced governmental funding and/or a potential turn downturn in the economy which will impact the local school budget levy. And last but not least,
046the instructional fair that uh Miss Wheeler re talked about was held on the spring professional learning day. Thank you to President Fitzgerald, Chrissy Purcell, Daryl Wheeler for making the effort to attend the recent instructional fair on staff development day. In the spirit of teachers teaching teachers, the instructional fair represents months of preparation by assistant superintendent for instruction Dr. Don and the professional development team to plan the many concurrent sessions that capitalize on the expertise of our very own faculty and staff. At this time, I would like to have our district clerk show the video retrospective of the festivities. Uh, thank you to all that were involved in the planning and delivery of the special day, which remains one of the highlights of the entire school year. That concludes my Nice. Good. [Music] How to smartly
047student. [Music] Oh my gosh. [Music] So, first of all, I just have to say that was an amazing event and I was really excited to thank you for offering and inviting us to attend. Uh I was so impressed with how many teachers were willing to share their experiences and their ideas with one another. It was it was really amazing the number the sheer number of topics that were available was overwhelming. So uh that was great. Um Dr. Just to to be clear for anybody in the audience, I know we have some folks on the public speaking list um uh with the within terms of Latin. So, we are moving forward for this upcoming academic year with in-person instruction at both Wellwood and Eagle Hill. Correct. Correct. Okay. I just asked Dr. Ty, um have those
048parents who pulled out been called to be informed? Yes, we asked the building principles to reach out. Does anybody have any additional questions for Dr. Ty based on his report? Okay, thank you. Okay, item 4.05. So, I know this is the month for committee reports in light of timeliness. um if we can always push some of them off to the next meeting unless there's something more critical that folks would like to discuss. Um so legislative liaison is there anything pressing D? The only thing is I would encourage everybody to take an hour go through the survey responses that you received on April 9th and serious so that you can be ready to discuss them um soon after. Thanks. Thank you. Marissa Bose's updates. Um nothing um that's um pressing. Dr. Tyson, I attended the annual
049meeting on the 2nd. Um I can provide information at uh the next meeting for the board about that. Thank you very much. Yeah. Um I wanted to recognize our academic in Kura like the club achievements. Our model UN club went to the Cornell participated in the Cornell MUN. Our uh HOSA club had a lot of medalists who qualified to go to the international competition and we had two elected health students to represent uh state of New York. And we have a spring robotics competition coming up soon, I think in a week or two. And our programming club uh won first, second, and third in the varsity division and then first at the junior varsity key mut code request. Great. Thank you. Does any does anyone have any questions for any of those committees and or
050do any of the standing committees have any updates they really want to give this month? Okay. Thank you. And now we'll move into public comment. We have several individuals. Um, Carrie Tyler, while you're setting up, Carrie, um, heard a lot of really great feedback regarding your your work and your teaching. So, thank you. Good evening. And thank you. Yes, we have some amazing alumni, um, current students and and families, some of whom are here tonight. Um, good evening. My name is Carrie Tyler. I've been the Latin teacher at Wellwood and the high school since 2008. Um, I am sort of revising my comments on the fly based on what Dr. Ty just said. Um, honestly, I have received a lot of mixed messages from the district office about this and so that was not um,
051what I was under the impression was the decision. And I was not under the impression there was a decision about next year. So just so everybody is clear, um I was informed last month that with the number of students in the Latin program next year, um very similar to this year, the program would be cut from 10 sections to seven and I would be given three classes of Spanish in which I've recently become certified and have never taught. Uh more concerning, the seventh grade Latin class at Wellwood, which 10 students had signed up for, would be taught remotely by Dr. James Hunt from his Eagle Hill classroom. Understanding that teaching Latin as a remote class at Wellwood creates an unfair situation for those students and threatens the pipeline of students throughout the Latin program, I
052offered to teach that section as a sixth class above my contractual obligations and at no cost to the district. For at least five of the past 17 years, when enrollment in Latin has demanded it, either Dr. Hunt where I has been scheduled for six classes while traveling again at no additional cost to the district. We did this without argument because it benefited the program, the district, and most importantly our students. But then this year with our program in jeopardy, I was denied the opportunity to go above and beyond to ensure the survival of the Latin program. Something the district was very happy for me to do when enrollment necessitated. I was told that allowing me to teach the sixth class would create an inequitable situation as other classes had been eliminated because of enrollment declines.
053I argued that the inequity is having students at Wellwood learn remotely while students at Eagle Hill have a teacher in their classroom. Three days ago, I was informed that the district office had reversed its decision um its position and would now schedule the seventh grade class in person with me teaching it as a sixth class. But this came with a very ominous caveat that both of the seventh grade classes at Wellwood and Eagle Hill had to be scheduled simultaneously and the quote was to prepare for the possibility of reverting to distance learning. So while some were cheered by this, I feel that then there is not a final answer on that question. And again, two weeks ago at least the the families were told um from Wellwood that the final answer was remote instruction. a
054few of them have pulled out now and and chosen a different language and we can all of course understand why that is. Nobody wants to learn remotely. Um so I'm I'm here tonight just to to ask that there would be a final decision um to allow me to do that in person. If that's the case, that's great. Um again, I hope that the families won't be told that we might revert to distance learning. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next on the list is Jason. Good evening everyone. My first question to everyone is anyone ever tried to kill you? Have any of you had that experience? I can assure you that it's the last experience I wanted to share with my ninth grader. But just before spring break, uh what was described by the district
055as a verbal altercation at the high school was in fact an assault with a deadly weapon. It didn't end end up in physical injury. And as the town of Manly stated, uh nobody was injured, but being a combat veteran, I can assure you injuries run much deeper than physicalness. Uh, as I stated, that verbal altercation uh came due to the fact that another student removed a knife from a fax class earlier in the day with the intention of harming my son. Uh, when when when he was confronted, he produced that knife and he tried to stab it into my son's chest in the heartwing bathroom at the high school. I asked, "Where's the accountability of teacher there. If we're in a in a chemistry class, those chemicals are kept under lock and key. How this
056knife escape the classroom and be present for throughout the rest of the day? I look at your FM code of conduct and I ask why is it so vague in reference to weapons very specific to gun violence but someone taking a shot with a gun and missing and thrusting a knife forward at someone's chest and that student happened to move there's no difference in that attempt at life. So again I ask where's the accountability? Uh if you ask me trying to stab someone in the chest in the bathroom as for immediate expulsion, not a co code or a level two or level three discipline action where you receive five days out of school suspension and then a superintendence hearing to determine if you can come back and threaten another student. So I go into the
057superintendence hearing, we wait for it. I don't get to know. My son doesn't get to know until the rumors will circulate whether the kid was expelled or if he's going to be back in a week, a month, two months, and he'll have to worry for his life moving forward. So, we know this decision uh lies with you, superintendent. Uh and I just implore that you cannot and should not let this asalent back on school campus ever. And it's not just to protect my son. uh is to protect every other student at the high school. Thank you. And oh, sorry. Sorry, I didn't see you. Sorry about that. I too am revising a little bit on the fly, but that's okay. Thank you so much. I'm Ann Stock. I'm speaking you to you today in support
058of our Latin program here. I'm an FM alumni, class of 99. I studied Latin for five years here. I'm a parent with two students in our district. And I'm also a Latin teacher. I've taught locally. I've taught out of state. And so, I'm hoping I can just give you a few other ideas um and perspectives related to our wonderful program here. Um I'm adapting them given that we've just received asfurances that seventh grade Latin will be in person which is wonderful. Thank you. I would like to speak more to the longevity of the program just given the possibility that you mentioned possible future cuts. Um from my professional experience I'd just like to underscore that class enrollments in language fluctuate from year to year and it's based on student preference. But with excellent teachers like
059ours, the general trajectory of a program remains relatively constant. It is however, as you've seen, nearly impossible to convince students to sign up for a class if their predecessors, the kids in the year above them are study are not studying the class. If there is not a Latin program at the school for the seventh graders, the kids aren't going to sign up in sixth grade. So, if they're studying remotely or if they're just not taking it, it's going to be gone in that building. And so I just I urge you to do whatever you can to keep it going in the seventh grade in both buildings, please. Um, and going on, we are so lucky here at FM to have four languages. I want to speak just to the It's a wonderful thing. There are
060almost none left in CNY that have four languages. We're one of few. I don't know the number off the top of my head. I want to say maybe three or four. And it's it's a beautiful thing. So I would urge that our district do everything it can to preserve that privilege. Um, Latin itself as a classical language. It has its own benefits. It's a wonderful language to study for the benefits of linguistic skills, future language study, logical thinking, and of course, cultural re relevance to our society. Um, but as far as just the four lang, our kids should have these options. I don't want to see our district shrink its options and its choices for our kids. Um, so please I I just urge you all, you know, I chose as an alum to raise
061my family in FM. I got to go because of the excellent educational opportunities here, including our Latin program. There's no way I would have moved to a district without Latin. I mean, I know I'm a little biased, but you know, there you go. Um, but you know, we're just we have all these wonderful opportunities across all of our areas and I I don't want to see any of our opportunities shrink. So, I urge you please to consider foresight in all of the planning we do. Cuts are none. Just watch out for all the all the planning long term. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I appreciate it. Thank Thank you. Right under the buzzer. Uh, and if anybody would prefer not to public speak that has previously signed up, you have, you
062can always just tell me that, too. Um, as you're going through, uh, Kate Stewart. Hi, I'm Kate Stewart. I taught German at FM since 2002 in all levels, seventh grade up to AP. Um, I won the uh Nisel 2010 teacher of the year award. And I want to talk about Latin. Um, I come from the background of someone who has taught remotely before anybody else. Uh, German was taught remotely at FM long before COVID. It started in the 2011 2012 school year. I taught German one to 14 Wellwood students and three students at Eagle Hill. They were video cast. Those were the three students that were made from what had originally been a class of 10 that enrolled at Eagle Hill and then phone calls were made to tell those families that they had to
063make make another choice. Uh the class was canceled and they had to choose another language. The history of this failed experiment has is known only to a few at this point. But it's disappointing that FM's administration would use the same playbook that it did back then when German was threatened, especially after the entire world learned through COVID that remote teaching does not serve students, but rather harms them. The arbitrary class minimum of 14 was created by then superintendent Corless Kaiser who had wanted as far back as 2008 to eliminate German and replace it with Chinese. I have documentation of this. Nowhere to be found in writing the magic number of 14 is being again used to justify changes to the current Latin program that could ultimately cut the program from the curricula here at FM.
064teaching distance learning at FM was futile. Think about how students need to clearly see a teacher's mouth for full comprehension. How in a combined learning class there are no more games in either class, no more communicative activities, no more collaborative collaborative groupings between the classes, no way of making friends with the other students when you're sitting in a conference room passively watching a video camera. Kinesthetic learning, which is especially important in middle school is eliminated because it can't be done in both classes. As a teacher, knowing those students on the other side of the camera was difficult. Even though I went once a week to Eagle Hill to give extra help, despite having six remotes to replicate what I did in one classroom, the technology often failed and the video class was the loser. Distance
065learning is boring and we all know this from our collective experience with COVID teaching. Regardless how hard educators tried to make it work, the possibility of reverting to distance learning apparently still exists according to district administrators. Why is this acceptable for Latin school Latin students at the middle school, especially when enrollment numbers eb and flow? Let's please put teachers and students first, abandon the bogus 14 student minimum class size, and continue to allow some smaller classes, trusting that our extremely qualified and flexible Latin teachers can increase their enrollments. Thank you for listening. Thank you. Um, do are the students speaking? Jessie Lyn Uh Crystal Mola, Alison Wade, um Kevin Malone. You guys aren't hiding there, right? Uh Denise MZ, I I am not a student, just for the record. I I have been for as
066long as they let you be a student, though. I did I did college till the the end. Um, so I'm speaking to you today in my capacity as the 2024 New York State World Language Teacher of the Year and as the president of Language Educators of Central New York 2025. You've all seen me at schoolboard meetings. I don't know if you know why I attend. Deep in the depths of the Great Recession, long ago before my students were born, some administrators, most of whom have now left the district, made unwise decisions about class- size minimums. This affected German, but it also affected French courses. I am a French teacher. There was a lack of understanding that small classes at a middle school, of which we have two, as everyone knows, will become very nice class
067sizes when it comes to the high school, of which we have one. So, it's important not to apply the same standard to a middle school that has half of the students of a high school, especially when it comes to beginning language classes or even when it comes to ending language classes. Let me tell you about my AP French course. Last year I had 27 students in one class. This year I have 14 in one class. Next year I will have two classes of AP French. So that gives you an idea of how numbers go up and numbers go down, but excellent programs remain. As others have said, having foreign languages sets FM apart. uh among districts in this area and among districts in New York State. In order to maintain strong programs, we need strong
068teachers. We have them. Latin teachers need to teach Latin so that the program endures. And lastly, I don't know if you've been watching the news, but Latin is about to be an extremely relevant language as it is the official language of the Vatican. and all official announcements for the funeral of Pope Francis and the election of a new pope will be first published and officially only published in Latin. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I don't think you really said why you do like to come to these board meetings [Laughter] though. Uh James Hunt Good evening and thank you to the board for your time and your attention and your patience. Uh I've been teaching Latin here since 2007 uh at also at all levels. Uh it's it's uh very important of course
069that we have uh in-person teaching. I'd also like to emphasize to let you know what it is uh that we're asking you to support. What it what it is that the Latin program stands for. Uh we are supremely cro cross cross-disciplinary. Uh we are working to understand the language uh of the Romans uh and all succeeding generations. It is a a misnomer to call it a dead language. There are Latin speakers today, very few, but they exist today as they have always existed. uh we understand Latin and we understand our own language. We we study language in a way that's really very unique but applicable to any language living or classical. We study history, our own and ancient government, social structure, art, architecture, literature, tradition and more. And our students can vouch for the value
070of their experience. The students that I had when I began are now professionals in all uh in all aspects of life, medical, legal, scientific, engineering, uh and so forth. Uh they are prepared to excel at any institution in the country, uh of which Mrs. Tyler and I are intensely proud. Uh we are special here. My daughter has been accepted to St. Mary's College in Indiana and they were stunned to hear that number one she had had six years of Latin and number two she had had six years of Latin at a public institution that is exceedingly rare. uh as we have uh as we have said enrollments uh wax and wayne uh I think it's important to keep in mind that with uh the coming micron uh facility that the entire region is likely to
071change very significantly in the next 12 to 15 years lots of uncertainty there uh but what the decisions that we make now uh what we value now is going to set up where we stand uh for those changes. Uh I am uh a powerful believer uh in what we have to offer. Uh we are also participating in and preserving a tradition that is literally thousands of years old. Uh it is an absolutely unique thing. Uh I feel particularly about Latin and AP Latin. It is the jewel and the educational crown uh here at Fateville Manlas of which I am intensely proud and for which I also moved into the district. Uh it is an extraordinary honor and extraordinarily rewarding to teach the kids in this district. So I ask you to please keep that in
072mind for facing the difficulties and uncertainties of the future. Thank you. Thank you very much. And last but certainly not least, uh, Alexa. Hello everyone. My name is Alexa Glenni. I just wanted to introduce myself. As a longtime FM resident and graduate, I would just like to touch on the topic of the mental and phys physical well-being of the students in our district. As we all know, there has been heightened instances of violence in the schools and a lack of resources for their mental well-being. Unfortunately, so many parents and members of the community have no idea that these acts are even taking place. uh my well-informed neighbor whose child attends the high school had no idea that any violent acts have occurred. I frequently felt unsafe as a student there and I want to make
073a change before my younger brother gets to the high school. Instead of pretending that things don't happen, we need to openly discuss the violence and harassment inside the school walls because they're continuing to happen and will continue to happen until real action is taken. that victims are constantly blamed and punished as equally as the offender. Like again, it has always happened and will continue to happen until there's a change. And I hope that this can become a open discussion that is less uncomfortable. People need to be here uh heard. These are children inside the schools of the walls and it's an unsafe environment. Thank you for your time. Thank you. That is everybody. For all of you who spoke on the Latin program, uh that was a terrific advertisement for anyone who's listening, I would
074think, to consider enrolling in Latin in the future years. So, thank you for providing that and you can borrow the YouTube stream to create your infomercial in the future. Um, oh. Oh, sure. to introduce yourself when you get a chance. Sorry. Thank you. My name is Haviba. I am a parent of my two students going to high school. In the beginning of January 2024, my son got attacked in the school bathroom by a senior high school student. Then uh with a bloody nose with a blue on his face, he's going back to classroom and sitting trying to hiding his blood for two hours. Nobody going asking him why he was bleeding. After two hours, he's going to the bathroom cleaning himself. The seniors following him back to the bathroom attacking him again. This time my
075son defended himself. Why he defended himself he gets suspended for four months. Now this today he back to school. My concern about his safety because the senior high school students still after my son and they go in the same school. I had always this two question when my son is bleeding for two hours in a classroom when nobody go asking him why. My second question when he's defended himself why he is suspended for four months. I went same thing with my daughter last year. He's she's going through a silent depression. I always trust the school. I said you know you go tell the school principal if somebody bully you. And I was pushing her away and I because I trusted so much. She get involved with the wrong. My daughter get in deep depression and
076long involved with a drug. So I sent her to rehabs. I fight so much to save my daughter. She's graduating early this year. But now I'm worried about my son's safety and I'm a single mom. I try to speak up but somebody can hear my voice. Why my son's been bleeding in the classroom and he defended himself. He gets suspended for four months. I do not understand and nobody answer my question. Now I am worried about his safety. I'm really concerned about my son's safety because those kids broke to my house and broke my son's computer and his door and I have all the evidence. I I wish I could show you the video. Thank you so much for opportunity. I really appreciate Thank you. And for those of you who are speaking on the
077other the topics related to your concerns, just we hear you and thank you for sharing your experiences. Um item 6.01, approval of minutes.

This is this is first reading. Yes. Yes. So we are waving second reading and approving the following. Revised policies in first reading in order to comply with the recent federal amendments and resins policies 01.1 and 01000.2. Okay. May I have a motion please? Thank you. A second Darl discussion. So I have a few apologize for the late I didn't get a chance to until today. Um I shared it with all of you but u policy 100 we've made it starts with the board of education shall we've made that change across many policies before that it's the district shall so I and it's also the same district
081shall and other policies tonight so that was one um the second was that policy 115 reference by the wrong name. Slight error in that twice in that policy. And then third is really my more specific question is there's a very specific provision in paragraph five of policy 1000. Um the non-discrimination paragraph intended to comply with USDA federal meal programs. what we have in the policy differs from the non-discrimination provision language on the USDA site that is linked in that section of the policy. So, I'm just curious why there's a difference between the two that's on pause. I'll stop on that policy first. I'm sorry, Dan. Can you tell me where Which policy you're looking at at 100? The the revised non-discrimination policy. I will see paragraph five of policy 100 says the district will post
082the following statement quote in accordance with the federal civil rights law and US department of agriculture etc. is that that's paragraph five of this policy. There's a link in that to where the discrimination complaint information is available. That link directs to the page where the US DA's non-discrimination provision is and that does not match what's in this proposed policy. So I'm just curious why if there was intent behind why those two are different from each other. This is the polic There's not there's not an onp purpose that I'm aware of that they don't match. My only concern is do they need to match to qualify to receive the funding is the I would presume the intent of putting it in there is to ensure funding eligibility and I'm not and again I it could also
083be that the USDA site has changed these change by the hour by the minute right so they could have changed while we're sitting in this meeting and they might be very different now from what they were this afternoon um I I don't I So, I didn't know if that was subject to discussion. I just want to make sure that we're not I just want to make sure that we're using the right language to stay eligible for that. I think it's been a moving target. I think your point exactly. So, are you recommending just remove that last line? I think we have three options. We can leave it as is. We can change the quotation part to what's on the website today or we could take out the last line that has the direct link linking
084to a page that has inconsistent language. What's that? I think what I would propose on this part, we need to get these in place. What I would propose on the USDA part is that we move it forward, but then just ask legal that particular question of here's what's on the website at that link today. Here's what's in our policy. Do we need to make a further change to it or not? Do that. I think that would resolve that part of it. The the other the first two bullets though, I do think the policy needs to begin with the the district, not the board of education. And then that policy 115 is just misnamed twice in there. What do you mean that it was misnamed? 115 within policy 100 and it's it's referenced as policy 115
085student bullying and harassment prevention and intervention. The two words are switched. The actual policy name is student harassment and bullying not bullying and harassment. It's very technical but oh the words are just switched. It's more of a typographical error than anything else. Then I'm fine with policy 100. Okay. Any other comments or questions? So that's on 100. On 115. Good try. On 115. There's three references in the opening two paragraphs to again to board that should be district and then there is an unfinished piece of that policy page four paragraph one of policy 115 there's a choice required that was not made in what was presented to us so I don't know what choice is being It says in insert applicable title come up building principle or DAC with regard to who an oral report
086is to be made to. just the question is who's the oral report of an instance of bullying supposed to be reported to orally within one school day? We just need Wouldn't it be the DAC or building principles because the next paragraph references that? Yeah, it needs to be filled in. Oh, who do we not know who that should be reported to for the buildings? in the buildings. It's the assistant principles that are identified and Dr. Sugar is the district. Couldn't it just be building principles or DAC the way it reads in the next paragraph? That's broad enough language that it covers right that reporting no just I think I got it. Okay. I would recommend uh to take out insert applicable title and leave the building principal or DAC. Okay. Thank you. And then again,
