I wish to pass this public comment speaker. >> I'll just say um construction underway in the district. Um completion of the window project at the middle school uh rest uh renovation of the toilet rooms at the elementary school. You saw the balloons flying out. I was going to say >> um that B's over so construction uh will be taking place. We'll be resurfacing the uh batch gymnasium and new teachers um in there as well. Hiring is underway. We'll have new teachers here in 8 in August to introduce them to you. We'll meet here in this room again in in August. We're going to leave
007this set up for the summer. And then um what is that date? August 12th, we'll have a public hearing um on 7A. Uh tonight, uh that's for the safety plan and the code of conduct. Um then we'll move into 30-day uh public comment period or for those finalized. They both need to be finalized by the end of the school year. So, there's a little bit longer in the runway for that. And then finally um a approval and waving of the second reading of the self the um distractionfree schools policy which is a state requirement to be in place by August 1st. It uh is essentially a smart device ban from bell to bell meaning first bell and the morning to the last bell in the afternoon. Uh students will be uh instructed the storage device
008that is provided is their locker. Um and we'll we'll do some student education and parent education over July and August to get ready for that because it is going to be a cultural change. Um but that policy is in place. >> Good question. Um cell phone watches, Apple watches, all of them, all internet enabled devices that are not schoolisssued um are restricted. Um there are exceptions to this um that are in state legislation. for example, translation services if permitted. Um, if it's on a student's IEP or 504 plan, there are uh glucose monitoring um apps on the phone where if a student has to stay close to their device and has to stay on um that could be tricky to work out, you know, be a diabetic, >> right? Right. and and you've identified somebody
009which is >> well we didn't identify them but they are identified by virtue of that they're monitoring their numbers and they're the only ones that are permitted to have a phone in the school so a policy in place by August 1st culture and practice are going to need to change um so I just want to manage expectations that um it is something we're going to have to work through this fall K through 8 um K through 8 was happy won't experience a change. The middle school already has a belt to bell band in place. The high school is where the the practice is going to really change. Students can use their cell phone, their internet enabled devices in this past year and previous in study halls, lunches, passing periods. That's no longer permitted. Um, not
010because Hampton Bay said so, but because New York State says so. Interestingly, I asked the senior class leaders uh in June what they thought of the policy. They didn't mind it because they're leaving their I think if I asked the 11th graders, they might do something different. But we'll work with our class leaders on reasonable um enforcement and roll out of this. But this allows us to have the policy on the books by August 1st, which grants us the ability to access um state aid for this express purpose. $11,500. Uh $13.5 million was allocated in the New York State budget in May. And um what that break down to is $10.50 per 7 through 12 student using the 2324 enrollment. So 11,500 um not enough to fly to Austria, but uh but we can use
011it for resources and tools to help roll this this program out. Okay. And that's the big those are the big items on the agenda. But we will after we um consent just take out 7A. So we call it here. >> And I have one walk-on uh resolution tonight after consent. Uh it's an $8,000 change order for the elementary school toilet room reconstruction. Um unforeseen conditions after the wall was taken out. Uh it has to do with steel framing in four of the four of the 10 classrooms. >> So clar maybe you can add in steel framing is needed once they pull the wall back. Um most of the older part of the building we're built with wire wrap and plastic. When you take the plaster off, all you have to do is wire wrap and
012it's you can't fasten anything to it. So we have to put up steel studs like a traditional stud sheet rock wall >> 19 condition >> 1957 Mike >> Mr. Jaws class. >> Okay. >> With that, we will do a consent agenda from 4 A to 7D minus 7A. We need a motion. >> Motion. >> We need a second. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. Motion passes. Second. much easier. >> Okay. Uh, I need a motion to open the public hearing. >> Motion. >> I need a second. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Motion passes. Do we need anything to be read? Uh the resolution will just read um upon the recommendation of superintendent of schools accepting the change order. Um and we'll write up the language and that's associates to
013the that's cover. >> So that's what we came to do. So you need a motion. >> Yep. So it's a motion to close the public hearing. >> Motion. >> We need a second. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I passes and we will person uh public comment. Sorry. Person may address the board of education on any matter of interest or concern. The president will recognize all speakers. Time limits may be imposed based upon agenda needs. I think we're good there. So, we need a motion to close meeting. >> We need a second. >> Second. All >> in favor? Motion passes. Meeting is adjourned. Thank you all. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.
