That was a tough time with the screen, I'll tell you that. We all set down here. Okay, we set down here. Yep. Good. All right. We're on five, number five for the reports of presentations. Yes. So, um, Matt, do we have that document that we can put on the screen? So, this is the time of year that, um, we very, very briefly summarize where we are with our final goals update for the 2425 school year, which has just concluded. Um, as is customary, uh, our document is incredibly comprehensive and in incredibly thorough and it will be on our website for anyone to um to look at in greater
029depth. The only things I wanted to focus on now, Matt, are you able to get it? Is it up there? Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. So, just we can flip through. Um, the the point I really wanted to make is as you go through these goals, we take very seriously that a goal very rarely can be met in one year's time. Um so it's typical that a goal carries over into further years. So we identify our goals as either met or in progress. So as we as we go through um the curriculum instruction and and assessment goals u very proud that we've completed our global citizenship course curriculum. Uh but you will notice that our computer science and digital fluency standards and coding is a goal that is still going to be in progress. When we
030do our goal uh um setting for this school year, which will happen in the September meeting, you will see that goal reintroduced um and as we are in the final stages of that. We also are very happy where we landed with our UPK curriculum, our universal screener acadians. Another in progress goal has to do with our work with word study or words their way. Um we have completed our Ksix social studies curriculum updates. Uh again uh with great input from Mitch Bickman. Of course all of these areas are under the able leadership of Miss PvO. Similarly our fizzed new standards the board has heard us speak to that on um many occasions. We are now completed and again that is with the assistance of Mr. Leman. Um we are um made have made a decision
031regarding the APR that our system currently in place is the one we're going to keep in place. But we're going to continue to modif monitor um where we think we are where the state is. We've got much time before we need to make any any significant change if in fact we were going to do that. In terms of meeting the needs of all learners, um we have met our goal in uh improving our MTSS um multi-tered systems of support as well as our response to intervention. One of the things we introduced this year which has been a huge success is our spiral spire program which is specialized program for individualizing reading excellence. It is a multi-ensory Orton Gillinghambased reading intervention program. That goal is still in progress, but it has uh hit the ground running
032and we're finding it incredibly successful. Another inrogress goal is our elementary integrated co-eing paradigm. And if I could just take a moment to remind the board that a couple of years ago, we made a commitment to ultimately moving to a full um time classroom teacher and a full-time special education teacher in the same ICT classroom. We knew we couldn't do that uh K6 in in one uh in one year's time because of the resources it would take. So it is a multi-year goal. uh it has been usually successful and right now our ICT program using both the the the model we currently had in place which was including teaching assistance as well as the newer model of full-time teachers will now exist at schools 8 and school 98 as we move forward to our CRE
033work uh you've heard us speak about that over the course of the year again amazing amazing work um and under the leadership of Miss PvO Um but that is an inrogress goal as well. Uh one of the things what that was very successful this year we were excited about and we're excited about continuing the conversation has to do with challenging grading and assessment myths. We had a a professional development opportunities well received by our teachers and now we're going to phase that into conversation at the department level particularly at the high school. Moving on to social and emotional literacy another goal in progress. Uh you've heard us speak about dialectical behavior therapy. Again, we're very pleased with uh that intervention and we're going to look to further uh introduce that across the board going into
034next school year. In terms of professional learning, this was the first year we had a full-time technology instructional coach that has been hugely successful. Um much of it has to do with the person selected for the position which is a very young teacher but someone who has made her way K12 into teachers classrooms. She's in high demand u for a whole host of reasons but we're incredibly um happy that we made that um decision. That goal is met. You've heard us speak about responsive classroom, another intervention that has been um hit the ground running and has gotten us huge um and very strong support. That is a goal in progress. You'll be hearing more about that. In terms of communication, this was the first year that we introduced parent square. That uh happened seamlessly and
035it has just been an improved opport uh way for us to be able to communicate with our parents. Our special education department continues to find ways to improve parent communication as well. In the area of technology, uh it's suffice to say that you will be hearing much more about artificial intelligence as it relates to what's happening in our classrooms. We are um proud of what we've done, but it is certainly just scratching the tip of the iceberg. That will be a goal in progress as we move on to community outreach. Um I was so proud of us that I feel that we we began the conversation about the anxious generation and about the in input um and impact of social media and personal electronic devices on our students. So when we were very well prepared
036uh and armed when um the ultimate policy and law came down from the state but part of that has to do with the work of parent university and we're very very uh appreciative of the parents who are intimately involved with that and again under the leadership of Miss Pvido in terms of community outreach as well. Um, a a a huge kudos to the special education department because the parent workshops there as you can see by the percentages of part participating parents has grown exponentially. Very proud of that. In the area of facilities, we met a number of goals, as you well know, our Oceanside Middle School library, our work with the energy performance contract. Our um beginning projects, which is the turf field at school three, and of course, one that I know we're very
037anxious and awaiting is the turf fields at our baseball and softball fields, uh which will happen over the course of the summer and going into the school year. And of course, we've already completed our full uh tennis court renovations. uh very happy uh about that work and again I uh kudos to Dr. Kley but our uh director of facilities as well and his support system and the area of safety and security. Um once again I I appreciate the board's support for our continued efforts working with Alterris and our director Mr. Shan Sharky. Uh we feel that we are in great shape when it comes to that. You can never do enough. Um so we will continue to improve on those areas. But in terms of the work we had outlined for the year, we had
038met those goals. So in conclusion again um there's a lot to digest. We have success indicators for each and every one of these goals that I mentioned and uh this document is and will be available on our district's website as well as this board agenda um as soon as this meeting is concluded. I will certainly now entertain any questions any board member may have. Seeing none. Okay. So, um if is it okay to move on to um Oh, okay. It should move on to Sandy. Yeah. No. Can I do early drop off? Yeah. No, no, no. Go. No, go to Sandy. You could jump. You could jump to jump to early drop off as long as you would like. So, um I'm sorry. I actually the way it's in on the agenda is the way
039I I said because I think you're tired of hearing from me, but I'll continue. So uh we had done a survey uh within the last month asking our elementary parents uh their interest in uh in a different type of morning program. Um we did receive over 300 responses which is a good percentage for our our community and based on other surveys we've done. But I am uh here to say that given the analysis of the data, it's very very clear that there are definitely some community members that would welcome an earlier drop off time. Um but a significant number are either satisfied with the current model we have, which is a 7:30 a.m. breakfast program at no cost to the parents who drop their kids off at 7:30. um either people are very happy with
040that um that plan or don't have the need for a plan. If we were to move it to an earlier drop off time, it would require a fee and that seemed to be something that was of concern to parents in terms of us changing the structure. So at this point, I'm prepared to recommend that we do not have sufficient reason to alter our practice. We will continue with the existing early drop off model for the upcoming year. However, I feel it's incredibly important that we recognize the importance of remaining responsive to the evolving needs of our families. So, we will continue to monitor participation, gather feedback, and explore alternative possibilities that can support all members of our school community. But that's my recommendation at this time. This I will put the results of this survey
041actually on the website as well, so anyone interested can actually see the hard data that we we saw as well. I'll entertain any questions the board may have about that. Yeah, Dr. Harrington, thank you very much for that uh for that for that survey. I know the survey was uh was u well represented through social media. It was well represented through the district. I know that we had a lot of people that participated and uh we do also understand the need of some of our community members, but of course we try to do with the majority. So I appreciate the fact that we are going to continue to look into it and get some more feedback and if there becomes more of a of an outcry for it then we can do it. Uh but
042at this particular time we appreciate all the results and please contact us if you have any other I mean it was a real good point that someone came up with and uh and we we welcome these ideas anytime we can into the district to improve it or to keep maintaining what we're doing. Any other board members would like to make comment? Mrs. Sure. Yeah. I was um right now I just want to make sure I understand right now the um 7:30 drop off that the parents can do. That's at there's no additional cost for doing that. Is that correct? That is correct. We have made a decision to offer breakfast at a cost and this is up to this year that we would be able to absorb that half hour 40 minutes uh in our
043general operating budget for for supervision with supervision. Right. Now the breakfast will be free. Breakfast will be free and we will have to monitor whether that will increase our numbers. Um, past history when breakfast was free and lunch we did not see those numbers escalate. That could change. If those numbers increase dramatically then we will have to look at an alternative model because we won't be able to provide the support that we have. This the support we have right now won't be able to safely supervise an significant increased numbers of students. Also, while we're talking about that and and the cost the um I just want to go back in my head for one minute because Miss Dr. Kley the I think I even asked you that question. I called you in the reorg package
044when we okayed the we just approved the prices those were alocart prices they had nothing to do with the free correct lunch or correct now if they were the survey was to start at 7 o'clock and so that would inc that would incur a cost to the parents yes it's and and I not for the food but just for the supervision um and that would be in six buildings or five buildings. We would like to have it equitable in all of the buildings. I will say I was very surprised at the cost. And I think that that shock I I'm I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm just saying I think that's what turned a lot of people off was the the cost for that extra half hour. I you know for supervision, right? I don't
045know if there's anything in the future we can do about that. if we can, you know, like I said, I think we need to keep our eye on this as Michael said. Um, and I think maybe we have to look to see if there's any grants or something that we can h find that might help us reduce that cost to families because I mean I remember am I not it was $200. We gave we gave an average of what we anticipated, but if you did really the math and the breakdown of that, it was by hourly, it came out to and and I don't want to be held to this, but it was around $10 an hour, which was really you can't get a babysitter for $10 an hour these days, but to the cost
046to the parent would have been about $200 a month. Is that correct? But for five five days a week, I just think it would it stunned people and I I'm not sure they were. It's it's along the lines of our after school CARES program as well. Okay. But but I'm going to say again, I'm not saying that it's not, but but people perspective wise have to look at look at the whole picture as well because if people did have to pay a babysitter, um it would be I think significantly more than that. But right now, we are able to absorb the 7:30 drop off. Right now, given the numbers we currently have, we're able to do it. Okay. All right. Thank you. Any other questions from any board members? So, we'll continue to look at
047these numbers and this whole program and breakfast and see if we can keep doing it. At this particular thing, broad policies and a second presentation. Mrs. Schul, can you go through those uh those five policies? I'll do it real quickly. Um because this is the second reading. Um I have received no further questions from last month's reading and I don't believe Dr. Harrington or anyone else has gotten any additional questions or feedback. We presented um five policies last month. One of them is just the 6106. The fifth one was really just an up uh we we revised our um petty cash reimbursement cap from $25 to $50. Now the first four policies that we reviewed, they are all required on uh based on new legislation and new law. So we had to adopt these policies
048and those policies are the sexual ha har har har har har har har har har har har har har har har har har har har harassment and g grievances under title nine. Uh we have the exeicio student member of the board uh policy even though we've been doing it for a year more than a year this is the first official year Brian. Um, and then the extreme heat conditions policy and then the last is the student and personal electronic device policy. So, those are all on our website and you've had 30 days to read them and comment and I think we've answered all the questions that have been brought to our attention. So, tonight we'll be voting to approve these policies. That's my report. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Does any board members have any questions?
049Dr. Harrison, we're good. We're good. Okay, we're going to go this. Go ahead. Can you go ahead? I don't see it as Hold on one second. We're looking for the resolution. There should also be a resolution to approve that and I don't see it. Yes. Okay, we're adding that. So, we can go ahead. Okay. Okay. So, we're going to go on. We're good on 6A. Opportunity to comment on on agenda items. We're good with this. Okay. Any audience member wishing to make a comment on an item that is on tonight's agenda can do so at this time. Anyone wishing to make what's matter? Okay. Anyone wishing to make a comment on an item not on tonight's agenda will have the opportunity to do so later in the agenda. While New York state law doesn't require
050us to hold a public comment period on agenda items, this board of education choose to do so because we believe it's important to get input from community from community members on the board's agenda items. Please note that the board is here to listen. While labor is encouraged to share their comments, please keep in mind that this is not designed to be a question and answer session. Again, comments should be directed towards the chair of the meeting, which is me. Anyone who wishes to speak should come up to the microphone.

Uh it is the summer. I don't know how it happened, but it is. Uh but those that know anything about Oceanside know that the summer is not a time for rest here in Oceanside. Uh we have an active summer school that uh is is beginning imminently under the leadership of Frankie Simmons as well as our DACA summer program which you know that we serve hundreds and hundreds of our students here under the leadership of Maria Bavaro and Dr. D.

059happy to have you and look forward to um you we know you have uh huge shoes to fill but I think you know that um but um really just wish uh wish everyone just a happy and healthy and even though I said yes we we we we have a very active summer it's also an important time to take for your family and to enjoy and relax and become rejuvenated for another school year. That concludes my report Mr. Drosia. Very good. Thank you a lot, Dr. Haritton. And of course, congratulations on you being sworn in again as our uh superintendent and uh you're doing a great job for this district and hope everybody recognizes that. Appreciate that. Um we have Dennis Yoshi who retired. That's going to be going to George Washington. No, you cannot speak.
060Just sit there and be nice. Do you want to stand up and take a bow? No. And we'd like to welcome Brian uh Rusco. And Brian's going to be on really an audition and it's he's really we were one year ahead of uh of the state in approving somebody to be on this board uh as a student rep. And uh Dennis was the first, but Brian, you are the official first representative on this board. And uh we thank you. We look forward to you running your section of the meeting. It's a it's an honor and a privilege to have somebody on there and we hope that you'll be giving us some feedback from your students and uh to bring it back to us and we can maybe try to uh include some of their comments
061and concerns to make us grow better as a school board. So, congratulations on that. With that being said, I'd like to open up to my board. Uh Sandy. Yes. Um, first of all, I'd like to um publicly thank uh Laura Lesey and Tara Brash for um doing an outstanding job this year reorganizing Dond Delirium at a brand new venue um Bay View in Freeport. And I'd also like to thank the Bay View and its owners for working with us. It's not easy to take on the dawn delirium project of 400 plus students from 12 midnight till 4:30 in the morning. So, they did an outstanding job. We have some glitches we have to work on, but um all in all, it was a great night and these ladies led the outstanding crew of volunteers uh
062that really made it work and I think the kids all had a great time. So, thank you for your all your efforts, Laura and Tara, if you're watching. Um, and also I'd just like to acknowledge Sean Shy and our security crew. They were invaluable at this new venue. This was not an easy thing for us. If anybody has been to Bay View, it's a large facility and it's very spread out with a lot of nooks and crannies. And Sean took the time along with Keith McKielle, our associate principal, to go down there ahead with us and look at all the areas that we needed to cover. And then um Sean brought down an outstanding security crew, some of our high school people and some of our district people to cover our security that night. And
063these ladies and gentlemen did an outstanding job. and I want that to go on public record um because I don't think we could do it without them. And the other person that I think we need to um recognizes graduation was a very hectic day and I want to recognize um Brendan Rooney and his and our custodial team in this district. Again, it was a hot day and it was a difficult day and they did a great job under the direction of um of course Dr. Mitchell and our very own Kevin Carbonetti who ran his last graduation with us. So, uh, but I I do want to recognize them because they just did outstanding work and that high school is always sparkling and I think that that's a credit to um, Brendan Rooney and his staff
064and I and I think that needs to be publicly recognized, too. I've never seen that high school look better. So, thank you, Mr. Schult. Uh, Don Maska. Well, I have a few things I'd like to say at this time. Won't take long. I just want to mention that after the last board of education meeting, I attended the school number five beginners concert and my congratulations to the teachers to Miss Andrew Fried and his two assistants Jennifer and Vicki and especially to the students who gave a fine performance. Next came the Oceanside Castleton High School graduation barbecue which was held at the abidum and honored all 15 graduates this year. Mr. Simmons and his staff did a great job in setting up this festive program. It is my pleasure to attend the moving up ceremonies which
065were held at school number two 34 89E and the two middle school moving up ceremonies. And again my congratulations to the administrators, the teachers and all the members of the staff who made these programs very successful. And a very special congratulations to all the students moving to their next level of education. And I want to say that was quite a high school graduation. I have to win the show. It was born out there, but the excitement just radiated and was just wonderful. I had one more thing. Um, I have one more thing to say about a student, but I'm not going to because I was told I better not. But this is quite an honor that this young lady received in a international gymnastic tournament which was held in Las Vegas. Their team did very
066well, not a national tournament, international. So, congratulations to that young lady. And I will not mention the staff member's name. Thank you. Congratulations, Dr. Joerel Kley. Is the father the business official? I just mentioned it, so I can do what I want. All right. Who's the uh Bob? No, I'm good. I think they said everything. Do you want to hear? Yes. No, I I did. Thank you Sandy for um that acknowledgement and I did want to acknowledge and thank all the parent volunteers, the administration, Mr. Shy. I mean this event was a huge event and it could not have happened without everyone's support. Um so just thank you Mr. Bell. Good. And still All right, let's get to the last part of this meeting and that's the opportunity to comment on non-aggenda items. Dina, we
067only have a couple of people here, but next is public comment on non-aggenda items. This the opportunity for anyone who wants to make a comment on any item that is not on tonight's agenda. As I previous as I previously mentioned, state law does not require us to hold a public comment period, but this board of education does so because we believe it's important to provide this form to hear from our community members about concerns and issues. Having said that, please note that the board is here to listen. Comments should be directed towards the chair of the meeting which is me. While everyone is encouraged to share their comments, please remember that this is not designed to be a question and answer session. If someone has a question that can be quickly answered, we will do
068so. Otherwise, the appropriate personnel will follow up on any issue. Lastly, please remember that the board cannot and will not discuss personnel matters related to staff or students in public. Any parties wishing to come up to the microphone, please clearly state your name and child school. Cindy. Okay. Okay. With that being said, I move to I will take a motion. I move to adjourn. I'll second it. Second it. Good night, everyone. Thank you. What was he talking about? The gymnastics. Terrell's daughter was was an international gymnast in Las Vegas this weekend. Amazing. That's why he thought it was his grand back. He was flying into weather. Oh jeez. And he had to come. That's amazing.
