So, now we are at the end of the reorganization meeting. resolve that the reorganizational meeting adjourned and the regular board of education meeting be and I have a motion and all those in favor we move on to item 21 presentations. So, I do want to just highlight these two graduation photos. Um, the smiling faces. It really was an incredible ceremony. Um, huge shout out to so many people who's here tonight. Um, Brian and Raphael Vera like literally took the minute they planned it out. It just was perfection. If anybody was there, I it was honestly one of the most and our homies. And a shout out to

019Kelly Foley um who retired this year. The son graduated and both of his sons graduated and his address to the graduates was probably one of the best I've ever heard. So, um just an incredible success all the way around. Um and just a huge appreciation for Mr. C and Bera for all that they did. create such a beautiful experience for not just our graduates but ours and then I do want to just um quickly sort of give a sense this is not an exhaustive list but um it's funny how people you know when I ask what I do and I tell them and they're like oh are you from somewhere and I I know our building principles have experienced that too I think Bob could attest to that and people just assume oh you must

020get having a great summer and it's it's actually our busiest time. Um, so I I did want to just highlight some of the things that our administrative team is working on over the summer. And like I said, this is modern exhaust and further things that I forgot, but you know, finalizing class assignments and schedules. Um, finalizing our printed calendar that goes home. There there's a lot of meticulous work that goes into making sure we have all the dates correct and there's not conflicts. um distraction-free school this year. We're going to be working on an implementation and communication plan. Um every building has a safety plan that gets submitted to New York State. Um our evaluation process, there's a lot of oversees that and there's just so much planning that goes into preparing for September. Um

021overseeing summer professional development of for our teachers, state reporting and verification. You would be shocked to know how much data we have to send to the state in the summertime. Um grant funding applications [Music] works on state funding um planning for 256 professional developers data analysis of regent results. So that's something that we work on the summer too with set goals for improvement, reviewing the code of conduct this summer, reviewing our strategic plan and making sure that it's aligned with our initiatives. Um planning for assemblies for athletic schedules and athletes, um special education grants and funding reports, planning for opening day with both staff and students. Um we are teaching a um data analysis tool called link and we're working on training over the summer time as well as I ready which is the diagnosis

022and progress monitoring system that we're working on um ELA pilot preparation that Bob is working on new teacher orientation CPI um crisis prevention intervention initial and refresher came in um universal pre kindergarten we have an initial survey and then the 425 report that goes to the statement family making sure of what their needs are verification and roll over as well. Um for all of our trainings that are required privacy um planning and communication welcome back activities for families and last but not least hiring. We We really don't have a ton of hiring this year. Um, but we still have a few, you know, teaching assistant positions that we're looking to fill. But overall, our sponsor. So, um, we have, uh, some staff members here who are here to present the VMS therapy dog pilot proposal.

023Um, and so I want to just introduce Megan House, who is a seventh and eighth grade science teacher, and Audrey Howard, soon to be Audrey. Um, Audrey is a social worker at Driver Middle School. And so, they are here to present to the slide, but they're here with Obie. Um, and they're here to propose to the board the uh potential to welcome a therapy dog to DMS in the fall. Um, and so I think the hope is that then the board can vote on that on August 11. First of all, we just want to thank you so much for um hearing our proposal tonight. First, we would not be here if it was not for the student. Um Um really it is our intent to expand our role of success and for program. Um we've

024been working for over a year now trying to make sure know what this is going to entail all check and everything and wondering all the benefits of a dog. Um okay so we first just wanted to address and acknowledge what some of the benefits are. Um there are many on this graphic that you can see a lot of work. Um I think three more times. Um so I just wanted to highlight um one more. Thank you. I just wanted to highlight some of the specific benefits that I think really are are connected with a school environment um specifically that would benefit a student. Um so up on the left top left um first reducing stress and anxiety I think that that is probably one of the top of having a therapy dog and I'll talk

025a little bit on the next um there's also some research to suggest that having a therapy dog is really good at improving students um social skills um their social emotional learning development and also the conversation skills which I particular 21st century um conversation and communication really critical especially as much of our students are you know in the iPad and and not necessarily talking to peers I think there's a lot of benefit to enhance those communication skills and then lastly um of the stress learn um I won't get too much into that does align with the stress anxiety piece um but I think that I'll talk about the next slide why that that Okay. So when I was thinking about um this proposal and and kind of thinking about the things that I wanted to share

026that I think are important from a standpoint um but also why for the district I was thinking about our priority areas are so there are three priority areas which are academic excellence and I kind of broke it down between what is that and How would a therapeutic support that initiative? So we start with academic excellence. Um the what so the goal and these are all excerpts that I took um from the goals that the district has um really honed in on and um explored in our strategic plan. I took excerts as they relate to this proposal. So the goal lending academics exploration and social responsibility. But when we think about having really high for our students. Um that is only achieved when students are coming to learn and so that I think about this is

027we know as we know that when a child is hungry for the best space for learning because they're hungry right they're maybe they're not like oh I just want to be here right now that's not the space for them to be in. And I think that's something that we all have heard before and all understand. And so I sort of use that analogy with mental health as well. When our students are stressed out, when they're anxious, when they're afraid of something that's going on, when they're worried about something going on at home, if you had a peer, they're really in that fight screen, which is not their cognitive brain. And so if you have a little over here, um I think that one of the beneficial things of having a therapy dog that stress and

028anxiety helping that student find calm and be in a better space which ultimately so next is the student experience. The goal is to meet their community physical, emotional and learning. And so I think that this is something that I have noticed as like a culture in our district is that we have very high for our students, but we also want our students to enjoy coming to school and like have a positive school experience. So in the work that I have done um there are many students who I can think of who struggle with self-regulation um with the ability to go from being in a crisis state to reulating themselves and being able to return to the classroom. Um and the other area so I like to use examples. So um when we think about the

029role of having and helping it to allow students to really calm down and sort of system one of the great students is nervous about school or they are anxious about seeing someone in their class or they've got into a conflict and now they're in the councet and we're trying to work through it and they're just stuck. Often what I have seen with students is like they just want to go home. Yeah. Can I go home? Can I go home? classes. We're going to be behind and that can help. Um other students are very about coming to school who are um it's just a challenge to even get out and the bus number of parents kind of fighting with them to come to school. You've got this social worker calling you, right? It's just a situation.

030Um but one thing I envision that with a student who is anxious about coming to school, if I could walk outside and greet that student in the parking lot going, you know, they're just nervous about getting into the building. I think having really provide that positive connection would help them like, okay, I have something to look forward to. I can go I can see Obie, I can sort of get settled and then I can go about my day. Um, I think that that improved student attendance is Um and then lastly is operations. So creating an empowered culture focus on our core values. Um there you know there's a lot more to operations but I wanted to focus on um so there are jobs to help students um and right and so I have students who

031after a conflict they really struggle to bring themselves back and they they can't talk And so when I think about that person but also helping them not just grow as a person but think about these students about this and we're having a hard time so that we can return to the learning environment and by having therapy help sort of calm down, write themselves, talk about what it was that happened, sort of acknowledge their role in it, role in it, talk about what we can do different next time and return to class and ultimately that's okay. So, um, you think about everything and I spent a lot of time talking about, um, the benefits, but really thinking about our district and is something that that we have the student population that would benefit from this. Um,

032and so there are students in grade level who have multiple different diagnosis. Um, we know that ADHD and autism are being diagnosed one nowadays. We know that anxiety is at incredibly high rate among some people. Um I have students who come down talking about depressed. Um I have students who have sensory processing disorders where no longer is too much for them. And so um one of the things that I have done with students is um I will just go to them where they are. I will sit with them on the floor. I will sit with them on the playground if they don't want to break them. Um and I'll bring something with you that is sensory, whether that's stand and just having that student have a sensory [Music] um wonderful easy way to help them.

033And one of the benefit is that by simply just petting a dog that can activate that vagus nerve that can regulate their central nervous system and help you calm down. Um, and so I'm envisioning like one student in particular who I work with, um, I frequently get phone calls from these teachers that are like, you know, he's got to take the classroom, he's upset, he's fine, you know, what do we do? And I just highlight out there and I learn different things that have helped him and that would help him um in a quick way so that he can get better. And then the other thing I wanted to highlight is that um all of our students with DMS grades four through eight have all um at least those who have come up to us

034from um have been at while we had trouble. So every student fourth grade through 8th grade had gone to school where they have had a job in their school and they are trying to remember what the dayto-day operation of that. So I'm going to talk a little bit just kind of about the nuts and bolts. Um I am Obie's owner. This is Obie for Obie. He was born on May the 4th. Um he's just over a year old. He's a cocker spaniel hybrid, meaning he is hypoallergenic. developer. We've already taken him through um AKC training at Petco and he passed citizen test. It's a list of 10 skills that basically means aggressive strangers and he's this is full. So he is about 20 pounds um and about possibly groaning a little bit right there. I

035think he wants to go. So, he's already bonding with people in the building and on um we are hoping that he will be um centered in the counseling office at as opposed to the previous dog that was in the main office that had some issues with some in and out delivery students. That's the idea. This really is a therapy dog throughout the day. He would go out in the morning uh coming in from cars like student. Um so then throughout the day we have lots of time scheduled for to work with oneonone. Um the idea is hopefully the event worker classroom setting as well. Um that would only be request of the teacher. And that's only after the teacher and the students have gone through. And then if you have a student in crisis call,

036the adults in building and overwhelmingly positive responses here. Most people description provided survey overall response was yes therapy dog there were two votes for no the two concerns we did offer have a pre anonymous comment box um the two concerns that were raised is how well is he trained and as you can see through the ABC citizen training um we also have a second level of training you can go if you think that he's not obedient enough at school and we have an evaluation plan in place. So every month for the first year team fitting in well it's a good fit for him and for the school but does need more training needed. The second concern be students which office you guys have any questions for us? [Music] I was kind of hoping from the

037very getgo um that this could become a possibility when I was looking for a dog and I reached out to the breeder. I actually wrote him a whole email. I said I am looking for the calst most chill dog in the whole litter. Which one would you pick? And so that was kind of in the back of my mind all along. It's always kind of like get a sort of hopeful thought. Um I did have a moment last spring where I was walking past I was like head back down. She came over the cat. Then I just stood there and she came down like every part of me. I was like, you know, so Megan's been working for a while. I I I would be remiss if I just I didn't um just give Bethany

038Woods a huge shout out. Bob knows this firsthand being for so long, but um we have schools all across central New York that reach out to Bethany for guidance and and help. And so um what she has done at PC with Lolo has been nothing short of tremendous. And again now she's helping to guide um our staff at us so that they can duplicate the wonder that she's created. Willie come to school every day or will it be? Great question. Um it's recommended they actually take a day off. It's a lot of work that school um started off really slow days probably two days a week working up to but he's four days a week. Where would you see Obie fitting in with like your class here? Let's just say like seventh grade science you

039utilize in you know when you come in and the test subject I know I'm just saying like in the classroom like as you teach class would you ever request over class so actually Bethany has you want to take that or you want to sign but um when teachers sign up federal they have specific apply why they're going to um for example current work will go in students who are having a hard time that work um at a circle table where students take turns she's sitting in the chair where the teacher said and each student is turning to read to so I That's how we have used her work. I know our speech therapist work and I use her social skills that teach our specific um you know work that job and you can be creative

040in science for seventh graders but I'm sure you know you can find ways related if if anything you know to release stressful but just presence alone. Um, yeah, I would think that kind of stuff atmosphere like there's so much going on already. You can stay still long enough. They do an entire art project at the draw. [Music] Any other questions? I talked to ask before, but how was Volo done with fire alarms? And knowing that a lot of times they're probably somewhat scheduled, but has that could be tested that how that would be or if it's a test would that be a time that maybe would or would not be just [Music] in the building for so long. She just would have one of her handlers. So I believe with one of the team members

041not just with any class. So, and I do want to say that job of making sure the structure is pretty much the same just so that it'll be moments where I'm sure you know but Yeah. 1400. One of the check boxes starts on the floor. not stop. So, our fire alarm, don't get me wrong, hoping for a similar outcome. for presentations. We'll move on to item 22, resident comments. Public expression at the board of education meetings is encouraged and a specific portion of the agenda shall provide for this privilege. In most inst instances, the board shall reserve judgment regarding questions and concerns that are brought to the board's attention in a board meeting. as it is typically not prudent for the board to make instantaneous determinations. In addition, many issues that are brought to the

042board's attention do not require a formal determination by the board, but instead are most appropriately addressed by the superintendent of schools or persons designated by the superintendent without further board action in accordance with board policy 3220, community relations. Do you have any resident comments? Right. Moving on to item 23, school breakfast and lunch prices. Resolve that the board of education approves the 2025 26 school breakfast and lunch prices as follows. You can see them there. Breakfast grades K through 8 $2.50. Breakfast grades 9 through 12 $2.50. And then the lunch prices are listed there is that there's no uh note rates are unchanged from 25. Can I have a motion? [Music] Questions or comments before we vote? So we did um complete the application for for provision which will give all of our students free

043breakfast and lunch. You may wonder, well, why are these setting prices for students who buy? So, you would be surprised how many students will eat their lunch more. So, that's why we have to set prices. That's accurate, right? That's accurate. We encourage all children to buy an extra lunch. This is a business. Okay. Any other questions or comments? In favor, opposed. Clary. Adoption of textbook resolve that the board of education approves the adoption of the textbook novel and then boom for the seventh grade novel inverse unit. I have a motion. Questions or comments before we vote? This is for seventh grade. Not just for the really the sensitivity and empathy. I think we learn from the new literature but also All those in favor? Um, approval of the 202526 OCMBOSI initial AS7 contract. Resolve that

044the board of education approves the 2025 2026 OCO's initial AS7 contract. Can I have a motion? Any questions or comments before we vote? Service provides multiple services. All those in favor? Opposed? Carried. Item 23.4 results. The board of education approves the 202526 districtwide safety plan. I have a motion second questions or comments before we vote. All those in favor? opposed. Carried. Item 23.5 first reading of board policy resolved that the board of education approves the first reading of the following board policy. LC 7316 use of internet enabled devices during the school day. Can I have a motion? Questions or comments before we go? So, as you know with our policies, we subscribe to 31.
