SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORTS & DISCUSSION ITEMS
Ø SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS – Superintendent Rice announced that three publications created by Ulster County BOCES Public Relations Department for the New Paltz Central School District received national recognition from the National School Public Relations Association. Honorable Mention was given to our newsletter CONNECTIONS and our New Paltz EXCEL Aid Newsletter. The New Paltz 2007-2008 School Calendar was given an Award of Merit. Kudos was given by Superintendent Rice to Holly Brooker from Ulster BOCES as well as the districts’ administrators who contributed to the creation of these publications. Mrs. Rice went on to report on Opening Day activities in the district, stating that all four school buildings had an air of excitement as she visited each of them.
Ø OPENING OF SCHOOL – Maureen Ryan, Director of Transportation, Barbara Clinton, Principal High School, Richard Wiesenthal, Principal Middle School, Stephanie Giammatteo, Principal Lenape School and Debra Hogencamp, Principal Duzine School reported on the events of opening day. The consensus was that the day ran smoothly with few problems.
Ø SUMMER MAINTENANCE PROJECTS – Stephen Callahan, Director of Facilities & Operations briefly highlighted accomplishments of staff during the summer months in matters of repairs and maintenance of facilities throughout the district.
Ø ELEMENTARY SUMMER SCHOOL REPORT – Meri Lederer, Summer School Principal, reported that the program went well, especially with the incorporation of the special education component to the program. Regular and special education students were integrated. Ms. Lederer made several suggestions for the future. She suggested
shortened travel time for the students to and from school, transporting the children to Camp Epworth at noon and keeping the library open. Connie Hayes, Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Personnel Services, reported that the idea to integrate regular and special education students was suggested by the teachers. She expressed that this is far superior to shipping the special education students off to BOCES. In general, the students had a positive experience and she commended Meri Lederer for doing a phenomenal job.
BOARD COMMUNICATIONS
Ø APPOINTMENT OF GREENWORKS LIAISON – President Dukler recapped previous discussion about appointing a liaison from the board to GreenWorks. Members discussed the pros and cons of appointing a board liaison as well as a staff member. After a second round of discussion, President Dukler asked for a vote.
GREENWORKS LIAISON - FAILED
Members voted NOT to appoint a aboard member as a liaison with a vote of 3 YES (Don Kerr, Steve Greenfield, Edgar Rodriguez) to 4 NO (Rod Dressel, Laura Walls, David Dukler, Patrick Rausch).
Ø DECIDE ON NYSSBA RESOLUTIONS – Mr. Dukler asked members to limit discussion and to bring up only those resolutions that members disagreed with. Members agreed with NYSSBA’s recommendation to vote for resolutions 1 – 7. Resolutions 8 – 18 are not being advocated by NYSSBA. Members disagreed with NYSSBA’s decision not to recommend resolution #10 regarding Funding for Foreign Language in Elementary Schools. Resolution #18 regarding the enactment of the 21st Century Green High-Performing Public School Facilities Act was discussed. Members voted not to support this resolution with a vote of 3 YES (Edgar Rodriguez, Don Kerr, Steve Greenfield) to 4 NO (Patrick Rausch, Rod Dressel, Laura Walls, David Dukler). Resolution #15 to include sponsor’s name on state budgetary items will be lobbied for because it was proposed by New Paltz Board of Education. In the final analysis, this board is supporting resolutions #10 and #15 contrary to NYSSBA’s recommendation.
Ø SELECTION OF NYSSBA VOTING DELEGATE & ALTERNATE – Laura Walls agreed to serve as the voting delegate if no other member volunteers. There were no volunteers and Ms. Walls was appointed. Don Kerr volunteered to be the alternate delegate.
Ø DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY FOR CROSSROADS PROJECT - Steve Greenfield agreed that this matter be tabled until the next meeting. (Later in the meeting Patrick Rausch pointed out the board should have postponed to the next meeting rather than table this discussion. Members agreed.)
Mr. Dressel asked that the voting delegate to NYSSBA be given the flexibility to vote according to what is discussed on the floor of the convention. There is no time to come back to the board for an opinion so it is important to give delegate that flexibility. Members agreed.
Mr. Kerr expressed that he has a dilemma concerning the tabling of the Crossroads Project discussion since a Public Hearing, which he will attend as a private citizen, is taking place prior to the next time this matter comes up at a board meeting. He indicated that he may need to recuse himself when voting in his capacity as a board member on this matter in the future.
Mr. Rausch pointed out that to table an item means you cannot bring it back. It was decided by members to postpone instead of table the Crossroads Project Demographic Study until the September 16 meeting.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Ø AUDIT & FINANCE COMMITTEE – Patrick Rausch reported that the committee met on August 27 to review the findings of the external auditors. The audit report and management letter will be provided to the board members in Friday’s packet. The next meeting is September 24 at 6:00 PM. The question was asked if the Audit Committee is being asked to come up with a plan to reduce the unreserved appropriated fund balance. Mr. Dukler answered yes and restated that the goal is to eliminate the unreserved appropriated fund balance over a period of three to five years.
Ø FACILITIES COMMITTEE – Donald Kerr reported on the committee’s discussion about the issue of Lenape chimney. The project is not closed, however, the problem was fixed but no reports of the problem returning have been made for past eight months. If there are no complaints over the next year it will be assumed that the problem has been resolved. Next Wednesday, September 10, Rhinebeck Associates will report on their work at the middle school. Mr. Rausch asked that matters concerning the Duzine septic be further investigated, particularly the need for another tank. He mentioned that reports of failure of the high school septic system need to be investigated and a plan put into place as well.
Ø POLICY COMMITTEE – Edgar Rodriguez reported that the committee met on August 13. The manual is a work in progress and the public may provide input. At the next meeting the committee will create a work plan for the semester. The next meeting will be held on September 10 at 5:00 PM. Creation of a new Administrative Manual will need to be discussed.
Ø HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE – Donald Kerr asked members of the board to let him know of any matters on which the committee should focus. More tangible progress in the area of healthy foods and finding ways to involve parents more in the process were suggested. It was also suggested that the committee evaluate its own structure and find ways on how to improve it. The recent resignation of a community member was questioned with a request that the district examine why members resign. Don reaffirmed that the committee will examine where we have been, where we are and where we are going.
Don Kerr spoke of a small vendor who needs payment of a final bill. He asked if the Facilities Committee would be able to make the recommendation to pay the vendor in question to allow him to meet his payroll.
Motion made by Don Kerr and seconded by Laura Walls to move into Executive Session for contract discussion regarding a particular company at 9:45 PM.
Motion carried 7 – 0 with 7 members voting.
Motion made by Laura Walls and seconded by Don Kerr to return to Public Session at 9:47 PM.
Motion carried 7 – 0 with 7 members voting.
Mr. Rodriguez asked about change orders. Mrs. Rice said that the policy committee is going to deal with this matter. Attorneys will come up with a policy which will go to the Facilities Committee and then to the Policy Committee.
