ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Superintendent’s Report

  • Mr. Rich reported that an end-of-year luncheon took place to celebrate our retirees and close out the school year. This is a great tradition. Special thanks to Mr. Mauro and his staff for hosting the luncheon.

  • Graduation / Venue – Mr. Rich reported that this year’s graduation ceremony and venue were a great success. Mr. Rich recommended that graduation continue to be held at the Utica Memorial Auditorium in the future. The cost of the venue is put through a COSER so the district receives a good portion of the fees back. The district will contact the venue to try to avoid parking fees for parents and families next year.

  • The District-Wide School Safety Plan has been placed on the website for the required thirty-day public review period. The Board will consider formal acceptance of this plan at their next regular meeting in August.

  • Code of Conduct – This document is currently on the district’s website for the required thirty-day public review period. The Board will consider formal acceptance of this document at their next regular meeting in August.

  • Zoom Meetings – Mr. Sanchez asked about the recent resolutions for districts to offer a zoom option for meeting attendance. Mr. Rich stated that he believes this a local decision and that we will not be offering that option. He will follow-up with Sandy Sherwood, District Superintendent, about this.

Administrative Reports

There were no administrative reports this evening. Mr. Rich noted that goals will be discussed at the Board’s August meeting.

Business Official’s Report

  • Mr. Humphrey reported that the Business Office is continuing its work of closing out the 2021-2022 school year and opening the books for 2022-2023. June financial reports will be available for the Board’s review at a future meeting. Auditors are working on adjusting entries as relates to the 2021-2022 school year. Final bills will not be complete until the middle of August.

  • Discussion took place regarding a possible increase in student enrollment in some BOCES CTE programs.

BOARD DISCUSSION

  • Mrs. Wesolowski asked how the Summer School and Enrichment Programs are going. Mr. Rich stated that the programs are good but that he wishes we would have more students. Unfortunately, due to the time involved in scheduling buses and camp offerings, parents did not receive the information on the enrichment programs as early as we would have liked. The district will look at making improvements in those areas next year.

  • We are currently feeding between 90-100 students for breakfast and lunch each day. We would like to work with the Village on this. Mr. Humphrey explained that the district is able to get fresh produce through the CEP program. In the past, students did not have to sign up. This year, sign-ups were required because the site is only at Barringer. This process is different than during COVID where food was delivered directly to bus stops for families.

  • Mr. Sanchez asked about the status of the after-school program for fall. Mr. Rich reported that the district hopes to start this program earlier than last year, possibly by early October.

  • Mr. Darrow asked about the status of the new uniforms. Mr. Humphrey reported that the modified uniforms have been ordered, the JV order is in process, and the varsity level will be ordered next year.

  • Mr. Costin reported that two or more component districts are offering clay shooting. This may be good for our NNDCC program for all levels of competition.

PUBLIC OPEN FORUM

There was no public participation this evening.
