ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Superintendent’s Report

• Mr. Rich gave an extensive explanation of ARP funding including how the program works and how the funding may be spent. He handed out three pages which detailed the funding sources, amounts of funding by source, examples of allowable expenditures, and the District’s plans for use of these funds.

• Mr. Rich updated the Board about the upcoming opening of school. He reviewed what is known at the present concerning COVID-19 regulations and what measures are in place for both the school day and extra-curricular activities. Mr. Rich stressed that the guidance will likely change as the new Governor is sworn in but that we will do our best to keep school activities as normal as possible while keeping our students as safe as possible. We will follow guidance issued by the Governor and the CDC. He informed the Board that there will be no virtual option for student learning, though parents may home school their children if they are not comfortable with them attending in person learning. Mr. Rich stressed that if our students and staff must wear masks that is a small price to pay for having in person learning. Mr. Rich reviewed a litany of procedures which will be followed, including while riding a bus, attending classes, and after school activities. He advised the Board they should expect this year to be a difficult one.

• Mrs. North inquired about testing for COVID-19 and whether or not the new student laptops would be deployed in time for school. Mr. Rich responded that testing for COVID would not be required for returning from a suspected exposure as it would be a financial hardship for many families. He said that we will use quarantining students where needed. He advised that the new laptops would be deployed in time for the start of school.

• Mrs. Wesolowski asked how COVID testing and/or quarantining would work and wondered about how vaccinated high school students would be handled.

• Mr. Costin asked about COVID policies and procedures for outside groups using our athletic facilities and what rules they must follow. Mr. Rich advised that while he is hopeful outside groups will follow our lead as to safety, we will ultimately only worry about our students, as it would be nearly impossible to monitor outside groups.

• Mr. Costin asked about when our teams are “on the road”. Mr. Rich said our focus will be on following our procedures for our athletes.

• Mrs. North wondered what other local school districts are doing concerning sports. Mr. Rich knew of no other district’s plans, though many are located in Oneida County and thus may be handling things differently.

Administrative Reports

There were no administrative reports this evening.

Business Official’s Report

• Mr. Humphrey advised the Board that our 2021-22 tax rates had been calculated. He advised that the seven townships that make up the Central Valley School District would have differing rates due to changing equalization rates. The District has no control over these as they are controlled by the NYS Real Property office based upon information provided to them by local assessors. Mr. Humphrey asked the Board to please remain after the meeting and sign all tax warrants.

• Mrs. North inquired as to any budget surplus/shortfall from 2020-21 year just ended. Mr. Humphrey explained that the district recovered from the original funding cuts because those were restored during the year. Mr. Humphrey said the our audit is being finalized but we expect to increase our fund balance, in addition to funding the Capital Reserve Fund approved by our voters in May. He stressed that many roofs will be out of warranty soon and that sidewalk repairs and locker room repairs would be needed in the near future.

BOARD DISCUSSION

There was no Board discussion.

PUBLIC OPEN FORUM

• Becky Dean asked if all buses would have monitors aboard to ensure proper mask usage. Mr. Rich responded that several buses have monitors for special needs children and all buses have cameras so if we feel there is an issue regarding masks, we can view tapes and address it. Mrs. Dean then asked if our drivers would report any problems due to buses which may be filled to capacity. The same logic of monitors and/or cameras would apply. She also wondered how lunches would be handled and Mr. Rich said that many high schoolers were free to leave the campus which should help with spacing at CVA. He will be meeting with the principals of all buildings to discuss the issue. Finally Mrs. Dean wanted to acknowledge the success of our Summer Music Program and stated that she hoped it would continue each year. Mr. Rich applauded Mark Bunce and the Music Department for putting the program together on short notice.
