001to resume public session. Miss Littlewood, Miss Serbinowski, all in favor. The vote is unanimous. We're now back in public session. Please stand 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. Do we have any agenda changes? We had agenda changes to personnel. Thank you. Wanted to welcome everyone here tonight. We've got some wonderful friends in the audience. So, we're glad you guys are all here with us, especially now that we have a nice evening, so it's harder to stay inside. Um, as we're approaching June, life is getting busy for a lot of our schools and a lot of our families. really fun events, but some stressful tests going on as
002we all get everything taken care of for our school year. I had the opportunity to I can't talk, guys. I had the opportunity to attend the high school awards ceremony and it was great to see all the families there, all the kids and their staff. Um, really excited about some of the opportunities for our fifth graders going to the middle school, really getting to learn about people and staff. There was just an event this past week where the fifth graders went to the high school to visit the atrium and both my kids ended up being there from the fifth grade end and the high school end. So, it was fun to watch them interact together in public. Um, but many exciting events coming up through the next few weeks and I appreciate everybody's time for
003that. Do we have any points of interest? Mr. Mscato, I also was able to attend the high school awards assembly. I want to congratulate the staff and the students doing a great job. There were over 40 categories of awards and there were 358 individual students who got at least one award. Um I was very very impressed by how well the students supported each other. You know when an award was announced, you know, they clapped and they uh uh encourage a person everything. So, uh, I've gone to every award assembly since I've been on the board. So, that's 22 years, you know, and so, uh, this was my last, but it was definitely one of the best. So, thank you. Congratulations. Thank you, Mr. Mosscato. Any other points of interest, Miss Kais? All right, Manger, all
004music related. Um, attended the jazz concert last week. Um, another fun, really fun concert. Um, kids sounded great. Uh, and it's parade season just wrapped up for our Gates Chilai High School band. Um, three parades. They didn't have the best weather, but um, they sounded great. It was nice to hear I happen to be in the support vehicle behind it. Um, the amount of people, spectators saying, "Great job, Gates Chilai. You guys are the best Gates Chilai. They we just we stand out when we're at a parade." Um, and you can tell the size of our band. Um, but we had a great addition of having the Savvy Diamonds this year. Um, and they look great and they they they were great as well. Um, and yesterday I did notice that a lot of people
005were very excited to see them come through. A lot of videos of them dancing. Um, so it was definitely appreciated addition to the band. Wonderful. Thank you. Any other points of interest? I also attended the district equity meeting last week and it was a great opportunity to get to hear and see kind of overview of what our district and community have been working on through the past couple of years in connection with the code of conduct utilizing supports within the classroom and to build relationships among staff, families, and students. I'm going to move us forward now to reports of meetings. Have we had any in the past couple weeks? Okay. Do we have any visitor comments? All right. So, that moves us on to our report section of the evening. Our first report is the
006technology report. President Coffee, Vice President Richards, Superintendent Dailyaly, and the rest of the board. It's a pleasure to present technology tonight. Um along with me I have Roger Thing, the IT supervisor. Um and we're just going to get rolling here. So just wanted to we changed the structure a little bit this year in our in the IT department and this is where we landed. Um as you can see uh we added Roger's position. Thank you very much for supporting that. and uh that left us an opening with two senior network techs and we moved some things around and hired two network techs instead of one. So um we're very happy. It's really caused some efficiencies and we're really able to do some things in it we haven't been able to do before. So thank you
007for that. Um in each of the buildings we are for the first time fully staffed. We have an MMT in each building. Uh makes a ton of difference. They're all doing a great job. It's a pleasure to have them. So, we're going to do it Cahoot style again this year. So, if you have your cell phones, there's going to be a QR code in the back. I mean, we can we can we it should be board members only. Yes. So, there's a QR code up there by the number if you Yeah. If So, if you scan that and then type in that number, it'll You don't have to use your real name if you don't want to. Yeah, we can throw it on one of the TVs too on the side. Yep. And you can
008also borrow my phone if you want and do it on there. I'm unfortunately at that age where I can't quite see up close, so I don't know whether to put these on or off. So, Chris likes to comment on that. can't get on. We want it to be a fair competition. All set. Oh, perfect. All right. So, so you have 20 seconds to answer the question. You do get points the quicker you answer. What color is the typical orange? Started off with a softball. Not a trick question. All right, so everyone answered. You get the point. All right, here we go. Oh, points. Which of these items was not initiated by the IT department this year? partnership with loveloud bus route automation and school tool and parent square schooly user sync or the IT ice
009hockey team. Okay, so obviously we didn't institute an ice hockey team. We wanted to mainly because Jeff's apparently amazing at it. I'm not. It's got the wrong message. Yeah. Uh so the partnership with LevelCloud strengthened our Microsoft 365 and Azure support and in tune. Uh we've been working with them to improve our security posture and to create more proactive system management. Uh as far as the automation initiatives, automated account provisioning for schooly and school tool which reduces manual entry and errors saving time for staff and the transportation routes uh bus route info is now synced between school tool and parent square providing real-time access for staff and families. Overall, our goal was to create efficiency, better security, and improved user experience districtwide. So, some of the stuff that Roger was talking about wasn't even possible
010a couple years ago. We've we've started the automation project when I first came came on and it's taken this long to get there. I mean, so some of the cool things that we're doing like the bus routes are if we have a bus that's delayed because of this sync now between all of our systems, we can send out a message from parent square automatically just to the the parents and students and the contacts for that bus. That was something that had to be done manually before. Take I don't know how long it would take 20 minutes, 30 minutes to put all that together. Now we can do it with the hit of the the press of a button. So it a lot of what we do in it is behind the scenes and no one
011really sees what we're doing on a day-to-day basis. Um but we're making efficiencies which make our department more efficient and all the user experience more efficient. You didn't want to hear that. You just really wanted to see the scores. How much storage does our new video server contain? gigabytes 2 point 2 2.4 pabytes 876 terabytes or I think you misspelled bite. All right. So the overwhelming choice was 876 terabytes or the correct answer is 2.4 pabytes. That is 2,400 terabytes of storage. That is a lot. It's a lot of storage. So, our video now is lasting up to six months that we can go back to and review, which is unheard of. Um, so we're we're very excited about that. It's pretty amazing. All of these tasks are scheduled to be completed this summer except
012conversion to Google, replace APCs in the district, upgrade to Windows 11 or upgrade call manager. That is correct. Most people got that. We are not converting to Google. Um, is this No, actually, uh, most got it wrong, right? So, uh, oh, no. Yeah, all scheduled to be completed this summer, except Yeah. All right, fine. You guys got it right. What am I looking at? Uh, so Windows 11, we're upgrading every device in the district, uh, with the idea of improved performance, security, and support. Uh, additionally, the APCs, so those are battery backups. Uh, we have them in every network closet. Uh, they are significant in case we lose power. We want to make sure all of our devices stay online and powered up at all times. We utilized -ate money and we're able to purchase
013all brand new devices throughout the district. Uh they should be in within the next few months and get installed. Uh as far as call manager, that's the system that runs all of our phones within the district. Uh we are upgrading that system and getting it ready to evaluate how we're going to move forward in future years so that we're ready for any future upgrades. All right. Which of these is not included in new automation implemented by it? Automatic creation of school tool accounts, integration with windcap, group user creation and active directory or all are included. By the way, all those images were AI generated that the pictures that are shown there. I've played around with all the different AI models to to actually create those pictures. We have a lot of nerd fun. So, uh,
014as far as the automation goes, this has been kind of a pet project for the department the last couple of years. Uh the idea is to get all of the different systems across all of our different business units talking together so that we can take and be more efficient. Uh as far as integrating uh HR personnel and IT systems, this is automated staff account creation and deactivation based on employment status. Uh the same goes for if you're changing roles. This was a manual action for the past 20 25 years where uh someone would move from the middle school to high school and go from say teacher aid to a teacher. Uh someone on our side had to manually provision that account and make all the changes. That is now fully automated. Uh and it updates
015based on their windcap status. Uh as far as active directory, that is how you guys log into your machines and that's how you access um email. Uh those accounts are the same way. they're automatically provisioned, licensed and done. Uh if someone were to leave tomorrow at 4:00, that system is fully automated and takes them offline. Uh and again, this is all about creating improved efficiency and timeliness and any errors in human error are gone now. It's all about that first data entry point. Awesome. Thank you. What is the appropriate response when you hear stop, collaborate, and listen? Roll your eyes, shout ice back with a brand new invention, say, "What are you talking about?" or smile and politely walk away. Of course, we all know the correct answer is shout stop. Ice is back with
016a brand new invention. I rolled my eyes just the IT department closed approximately 3500 tickets this school year. This does not include all of the phone and email requests. True or false? This is tough, right? Because it could be 3501, but it is true. We uh we're up a thousand tickets from last year. And I think that's because we because of all the efficiency we have created, people didn't have confidence in the the ticket system. Um they would call because they felt like things would happen faster if they called or emailed. And now we're we're turning tickets around so quickly that I think people are are finally getting comfortable putting in those in and know it's a priority for us and it'll be addressed. So, um we're seeing that number go up, which is I
017think a good thing, believe it or not. What new filter option did we add this year that uses advanced level AI? advanced reporting, classroom management, image blurring, or self-driving computers. So the correct answer was image blurring. Uh what this does is obviously we can block websites and allow content on different websites but if we have an allowed website and that website happens to have an inappropriate picture that would normally be shown now because that website's allowed now the AI is reading every individual picture and determining whether that's an appropriate picture or not and blurring it if it feels that it's not appropriate. Um, and it's over time it's learning what is an educational site and those even though it may be an inappropriate picture, it shouldn't be blurred because it's on a, you know, a
018breast cancer awareness site or something like that. So, it's really it's amazing technology and we're excited to have implemented it. Which one of these were enhanced revived this year? A seam, patching of devices, internet security and governance team or we updated all of these and more. Great. So, we did update all of them. Uh, for everyone out there wondering what a SEM is, it's a security information and event management program. Uh that is a partnership that we have that monitors our network 247 in case of any uh malicious attacks or anything that we see on the system that warrants an alert. Uh we actually you're looking at the two fellas that get the call at 3:4 in the morning if something were to go wrong and we are responsive to that. Um we also revived
019the ISGT which is the information security governance team which many of the folks in this room sit on and it is cross um business units so that we're able to take and understand the needs of every organization within this district and ensure that the data and security are in place for our students and staff. Um some ongoing security improvements. We are further evaluating automating device patching and removing outdated unsupported software and again all this is to ensure a safe secure environment for every student and staff in this district and it's working. Roger and I have gotten calls. Um luckily they were not serious issues but issues that could have been. Um you know the system isn't perfect. So um we're happy to be a part of that as well. What is the name of the
020new translation devices placed in every building? Chatter splatter translate live. Say what now? Talkie talk translator. So the correct answer was translate live. Um so every building now has these devices. uh if uh if someone comes in and speaks a different language, they're able to select their language and their dialect within that language and speak with we have them at the main offices right now and the person in the main office can sees what they say. It actually can it speaks out loud and writes um and then they would speak back in English and then it's translated into their native language. It's amazing. Uh Chris actually used this on our last prof professional development day uh that we had a QR code up in the fieldhouse and anyone that wanted to could scan the QR
021code and put in the language they wanted to hear the speakers speaking in and it translated live into their language. Um a use we didn't think of was for people that were hard of hearing. So people were actually logging in, selecting English, and then getting closed captions for in essence what was happening for the speech. So it was we were beyond excited to see that. It's a really it's a really cool system. Tanya's on fire. Literally says on fire. Which cabinet member would most likely to be found at a Metallica concert? Chris Dailyaly, Jason Dejon, Eva Petraino, or Michaela Parado. I did make some assumptions on this question, but the correct answer is Michaela Parado. Michaela, would you like to elaborate or anything? Okay, perfect. All right, the results. Katie De, the big winner. Oh,
022third place, Boro. And in first place, Tanya. We have the certificate, the championship certificate. I'm sure Eva would take a picture of you with it. Rob took one the other year. Yeah. Oh yeah, even better. It's a lovely picture. All right, so that is our presentation. What questions can we answer for you? Isra. Yeah. Yeah. I had to come up with something bigger than giga. Thank you guys. We appreciate it. Thank you. All right. Next, we have our capital project update. And apparently we still have dancing in the background. Good evening, President Coffee, Vice President Richards, Superintendent Daily, uh, Board of Education members. We're here for a May 2025 capital improvement project update. Uh, the past month, the high school technology space really got busy. Uh, we continued painting the walls, wall tiling in both
023the in the hallways. Uh, and then the starting the epoxy floors, which is what was done over at the middle school. Same system is done here. They're about threequarters of the way through with the rooms in this space and they've started uh installing the brick on the outside of the building. And then the middle school music, we completed the abatement. And if you drove by this afternoon, you may have noticed a section of the building is missing. The envelope has been taken down and uh cleared away. Uh plumbing work continued to just rough in the high school technology and work on the middle school technology punch lists. uh mechanical work, the duct work as well as the dust collection system is nearing completion in the high school technology space. And then they also continue to
024work on the middle school technology punch list. Electrically, similar story, high school technology wrapping up the power and lighting distribution. And then the middle school uh music prior to the building coming down, there's a little bit more demolition post abatement. Phase two, uh Dior, our site work contractor, has continued to bring the fields up to grade. uh last couple meetings we've been talking three to five feet at those fields are coming up uh and then fields range work that is associated with that. Uh as of right now there are five light poles in the air. The last meeting we talked about that the bases had been set and then the middle school sidewalks uh the retaining wall is installed as well as the curbing uh sidewalk should be poured very soon. general trades. Uh Florence
025Brasser, we completed the additional hazardous materials work at the main office space and then the structural steel which I have a nice photo of at the end of this has uh nearing completion. Florence Brasser, the OTP wall has been infilled and then we're continuing to plan and um work on the summer plan. Uh plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work continue to just rough in the Florence Brasser main office and OTPT spaces. The electrical contractor started the fire alarm work at the high school here over April break and they have continued to do that through May into June. Uh high school technology completing the epoxy floors, completing the brick facade on the exterior and then specialty fixtures inside the woodworking rooms and then we're going to finish the wall uh both with tile and with painting and
026then paint the ceiling and then case work that is scheduled to show up uh early June. middle school music continue to finalize the cleanup and then they're going to start digging the foundation for the new music edition. Uh phase two, Florence Brasser completing the structural steel and then right immediately after uh roofing interior framing and then the mechanical electrical plumbing installations and then the middle school continued work on bringing the fields up to grade and working on the drainage and then wrapping up the lighting installation. Budget-wise, phase one, we are 75% build by the contractors. Phase two, 27% contingency has not changed. And to date, we have expended 209,769 in allowances. Some photos of high school technology with the paint band. Uh to the left hand side is going to be the computer lab for
027this room. A photo of the d of the duct work for the dust collection system. Uh this is the scaffolding and the new brick going on the exterior of the building. This is the uh wood delivery or the delivery bay to the lefth hand side. Uh this is the uh one of the rooms that had the epoxy floor finished. The next couple photos are of the building coming down over at the middle school. All that happened in a couple of days. They were able to take that down, wrap it up, and take it out. uh the side or the asphalt that is at the bottom of the photo is also coming out. That parking lot is being reworked. Uh overview shot of the fields that is the softball field uh that is currently being stoned
028and brought up. That will be the first field that receives turf over the summer. This is the uh conduit lines that are coming from the transformer currently feeding the middle school that will then bring power out to the fields. There's a lot of stone and with every layer of stone there's a structural fabric that is installed. So every 12 inches of stone there's a structural fabric brought up. So there's a lot of material. I keep emphasizing that but a lot of material brought in for these fields. Uh this is foundations for a canopy system over at Florence Brasser. The new bathrooms in Florence Brasser. Uh one off of the hallway and then one for the nurses suite. And then a couple weeks ago, we did a steel signing event with the students over at Florence
029Brasser. So, every student was brought out. They got to write their name on this piece of steel, which you can't really see here, but it is now front and center for uh the roof line at the new main office edition. Any questions? Go ahead. Go ahead. Um Brass, you said there was a covered awning or what was that? It's Would you like to describe that? Uh at the a secure main entry. There's an awning uh that's right over the area that actually those are posts for the signage. There's also going to be new signage outside indicating main entry. So directing personnel and visitors to this front. There's that architectural piece. I don't know how to describe that. The curved canopy. Yeah. So that is there is an arc over or a curved piece over the
030that makes up the canopy that it also emulates uh what's going on at the high school. So the curves so it's trying to tie all the all together. Yeah, the kids seem very excited to sign their names on that beam and you guys are almost dressed the same. Blue and All right. Oh, shoot. That's right. All right. Any other questions or comments? Got start coordinating. Yes, the beam is very famous. My daughter pointed it out again this morning when we dropped by. Just out of curiosity, can you explain what a structural fabric is? I have an idea in my head, but it's just the term made me curious. So, it's it's a a woven fabric that is meant to if there's a sinkhole that forms underneath it, it will hold the stone above it. And
031then when you stack it in layers, it just is more and more uh structure added to it. sense. Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you guys. Have a great night. You too. All right, that moves us on to our final report. We have our finance, facilities, and audit. Oh, didn't know we have students. Uh, well, it's it's separated by a little special spot. Yeah. An audit update. And then we'll have an extra special report after that. I'm sure it will be very special. It will. Um, good evening, Superintendent Dailyaly, President Coffee, Vice President Dr. Richards, and the board of education. I'm Mitch Bald, the assistant superintendent for business here to give a finance facility audit committee report. So, the meeting occurred on May 19th, 2025. Uh, we had a report from the independent auditor, um,
032Christy Beachch from EFPR group to talk about the independent audit plan for the next fiscal year. Um we in addition to that we had our internal auditor um Clifford Tommpkins from Freed Matzik um who presented on the internal audit results um which were positive and highlighted some of the things um that are going on in terms of cash dispersements from a finance perspective. Uh we talked about the district reserve plan. Um, initial copies were handed out, draft copies to the finest audit committee for review um, for uh, potential approvement by the board on June 17th. Uh, we talked about the FEMA closeout. Um, these are the funds over a million dollars that the district um, was able to receive by sticking with the um, COVID 19 pandemic relief funds through the federal government. um that
033program is now reviewed and closed out and so we've um received all of those monies which is great news for the district. Um in terms of budgets, we just talked about a little bit about the budget vote and then we shared that um the budget analyst position um would be posted and hired. In addition, we talked about classroom furniture and replacement of furniture at the elementary schools and what the plan is currently relating to that. We talked in terms of um the the building brighter futures project. I know that um you received an update tonight, talked about the progress of work there. The future ready project um just shared that we started meeting with stakeholder groups over the last couple of weeks and months and that um everything is on track in terms of um
034how we're progressing with planning for that project. In addition, we talked about um the music department storage facility um noting that we would anticipate construction of that to begin in the next month or so. Um we talked about space modifications to be made at Walt Disney, taking an old um facility storage room and converting it into a space um that some of our staff members would be able to use for um programs and services for students. Um, we talked about some modifications relating to the district office to accommodate staff. We talked about um, electric bus incentives and how there may be some additional tax rebates that we may qualify for. And we're currently exploring that in great detail. And that concluded the meeting. Are there any questions relating to the finance audit committee meeting? All
035right. Thanks so much and I I hope you have a great evening. You as well. Now, our extra special report, also known as report D, that was already on the agenda, our student exeicio report. Good evening. I'll start off with the middle school today. The students have been working on creating a ticket and a poster for their sixth grade fun night, which has a retro theme for the year. The ticket price will be $8 and there will be pizza, drinks, dancing, basketball, giant inflatables, and the well anticipated ice cream truck. The sixth grade fun night is designed to be a fun end of the year celebration with the completion of the students first year in middle school. And new for this year, students will be popping popcorn and bring it around a teacher with a
036beverage for teacher appreciation week or a ticket to the ice cream truck. And this was a great success this for this year. And also a reconfiguration question and answer session relating to the new setup in the middle school next year was hosted in April. And families from current fifth, sixth, and seventh graders were invited to come and learn how the building will be reorganized and ask any questions they may have. And of course, the eighth grade students are looking forward to their transition to the high school. And for the high school updates, we had our first GC gala where prom and ball were both combined. And also we had our prime time and DWI simulation which were both smooth and successful. Thank you. Thanks Lucas. Any questions? Awesome. That moves us on to our consensus
037items. Can I have a motion to approve the consensus agenda? Miss Kais, Miss Littlewood, any discussion? All in favor? The vote is unanimous. Can I have a motion to approve consensus items C through N? Mr. Long, Miss Kais. There you go. Any discussion? All in favor? The vote is unanimous. We have two really exciting appointments here tonight and their awesome families. So, the board just Thank you. The board just approved Michael Perkins as assistant principal at the high school. Congratulations. And his lovely family is here as well. Good job, kids. Sitting still for that long. And we also just had the approval for Laura Bower to be our next Florence Brasser principal. Congratulations, Laura. Welcome to you both. We look forward to you being with us for many, many, many years to come. Thank you
038guys. We're excited you're both here. And thank you for your families for sitting through all this. You guys did a great job. All right, that moves us forward to our action items. Can I have a motion to approve construction management agreement? Can I have a motion? Dr. Richards, Miss Jennings, any discussion? All in favor? The vote is unanimous. Can I have a motion to approve the agreement between GC, CSD, and Hope Hall for the New York State Summer Food Service Program? Uh, Miss Littlewood, Mr. Bowski, any discussion? All in favor?

That moves us now to our superintendent comments. As we return for Memorial Day weekend, I want to begin by acknowledging the meaning behind the holiday. Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices of the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Yesterday, I was honored to attend and present a rose in honor of fallen service members during the town of Gates Memorial Day ceremony. The legacy of these service members reminds us of the importance of community, service, and purpose, values we strive to instill in our students here every day. With that in mind, I'd like to turn our attention
040to some of the incredible things happening in our schools lately as our students continue to grow, lead, and shine in these final weeks of our school year. This spring, we had five teams, golf, flag football, girls lacrosse, tennis, and softball, and 90 individuals recognized as scholar athletes. To receive scholar athlete team recognition, the average GPA of the top 75% of the roster must be at least 90. Individual scholar athletes are recognized based on the same criteria. And Gates Charlie is hitting all the right notes once again earning the best communities for music education award from the NAM Foundation. This nationwide honor celebrates our district's incredible commitment to making music an essential part of every student's education. And it's been a celebratory spring here in Gates Chili. Earlier this month, our high school recognized academic and
041athletic achievements of students with more than 300 awards and scholarships to the tune of more than a million dollars. Congratulations to all the awards and scholarship recipients. And the high school also held their first combined junior senior gala this year, melding the junior prom and senior gala for a special night of fun. Just before the students got ready for their special night, our high school held an important reminder of the real life consequences of impaired drinking. Our annual DWI simulation was an important lesson in celebrating responsibly. Thank you to our partners at Gates Police, Gates Fire, Gates Ambulance, Gates Towing, and Depio Funeral Home, as well as our student actors for helping us to run this valuable program. The Gates High School botany and Aquarium clubs invited fifth graders from across the district to the
042high school for some hands-on science experiments. They guided the young learners through different activities, including extracting DNA from a strawberry and programming miniature robots. It was a real formula for fun. Paul Road Elementary School got a very special visit from the Rochester Red Wings mascot extraordinaire. He was there to get Panthers pumped up for some baseball. Third graders are taking a field trip trip to Innovative Field for a game this upcoming Wednesday. And the entire school community is invited to the game on Thursday evening. Paul Road band students will perform the national anthem before the first pitch and chorus will sing Take Me Out to the Ball game during the seventh inning stretch. We can't wait. We know they'll just hit it out of the park. More than 400 Brass or Bear students and staff
043flocked to the school's parking lot to sign an 18 foot long beam become a permanent part of the school's new main entrance. Although the beam will soon be covered by brick and other materials, these bears names will forever be part of the structure of Florence Brasser Elementary School. Thank you to our construction partners for helping organize this special moment for all. And last week, students in our middle school civics elective had an unforgettable experience in Albany. As part of learning how government works, students met with a state senator and toured the New York State Capital. It was a powerful opportunity to see government in action and deepen their understanding of civic engagement. This is the second year we had offered this civic selective. Thank you to Sherpto and Lindseay Lamort for sharing these photos. And
044a big thank you to the GC community for your overwhelming support and acknowledgement of our work with the supermajority results for the budget and all propositions. Nearly 700 voters cast a ballot in the annual vote and election. Gates Charlie voters also elected three board of education members. Congratulations to Tanya Serbanowski, Andrea Manella, and Dr. Christine Brown Richards on being reelected or elected to the board of education for the first time. And finally, thank you to the board who tonight approved two new leaders to join our Spartan family. First, I'm happy to announce that Miss Laura Brower will be the next principal at Florence Prasser Elementary. Miss Bower is currently serving as an assistant principal at Village Elementary School in Hilton Central Schools. I'm also pleased to share that Mr. Michael Perkins will be our newest
