00:07:56.070 --> 00:07:57.060
Anthony White: We're gonna get started.

4
00:07:58.470 --> 00:08:12.030
Anthony White: Alright. Today is May 20th 2020 701 and I'm going to call the regular part of education mean in order please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.

5
00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:15.990
Anthony White: I pledge allegiance to the flag.

6
00:08:16.230 --> 00:08:16.620
Like

7
00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:21.390
Anthony White: The Republic for which it stands.

8
00:08:21.510 --> 00:08:23.790
Elissa: One nation under God.

9
00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:25.290
Elissa: Indivisible indivisible.

10
00:08:25.290 --> 00:08:26.130
Elissa: Already working

11
00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:30.510
Anthony White: Well for Kelly.

12
00:08:44.790 --> 00:08:45.330
Craig Wolf: Delayed

13
00:08:55.770 --> 00:08:56.820
Anthony White: It was that Kelly.

14
00:08:57.660 --> 00:08:58.110
Laura.

15
00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:01.710
Anthony White: I do not see delayed.

16
00:09:05.310 --> 00:09:05.790
Antony Tseng: Here.

17
00:09:08.910 --> 00:09:10.710
Kelly Pologe: I see here

18
00:09:11.430 --> 00:09:14.220
Craig Wolf: You're here Mr.

19
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:15.300
Here.

20
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:21.090
Anthony White: All right, ask you to please rise again for a moment of silence for all the victims of carbon 19

21
00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:33.180
Anthony White: Thank you.

22
00:09:38.430 --> 00:09:39.240
Anthony White: Alright tonight.

23
00:09:40.530 --> 00:09:43.740
Anthony White: Tonight's workshop is going to be a budget presentation from Matt and Emory.

24
00:09:54.570 --> 00:10:00.540
Matt Landahl: Good evening, everyone. Thanks for being here tonight. So some of these slides are familiar because they're from

25
00:10:01.170 --> 00:10:12.510
Matt Landahl: Some of them are from our last meeting. We want to just review some of the work that we have done from the last meeting and then just talk about some final budget recommendations. So Mike, you go to the next slide.

26
00:10:14.610 --> 00:10:35.370
Matt Landahl: Thank you. So at the last meeting I talked. I started to talk about the the road ahead, excuse me for the district. And so we're focusing on recovery reopening and also looking at if we have to do distance learning the future looking to face to find it more engaging for students and

27
00:10:35.370 --> 00:10:37.590
Matt Landahl: Also trying to strategically.

28
00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:45.720
Matt Landahl: Plan for some difficult fiscal years ahead. So speaking of the recovery reopening we had our first internal

29
00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:52.470
Matt Landahl: Internal administrators meeting for this. So we had all principles and department heads.

30
00:10:53.490 --> 00:11:01.020
Matt Landahl: Just sort of there this week. And essentially, we've reviewed all school reopening documents that are available right now.

31
00:11:02.190 --> 00:11:06.240
Matt Landahl: I guess I understand the CDC came out with

32
00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:20.790
Matt Landahl: A new draft of recommendations today. So we'll take a look at those. But we also asked all of our principals and department heads to start brainstorming basically every possible contingency.

33
00:11:21.930 --> 00:11:32.550
Matt Landahl: That we have to plan for next year. So we're thinking of kind of three big umbrellas. One is a full reopening with with a lot of health.

34
00:11:34.020 --> 00:11:38.910
Matt Landahl: With a lot of health supports in place and monitoring supports in place in our schools.

35
00:11:39.510 --> 00:11:55.290
Matt Landahl: Another is some sort of blended model. And there's a lot of variations for this and you know some of this probably will come from the state, but it's good for us to plan for it were to to enforce social distancing with our students that we do to reduce

36
00:11:56.310 --> 00:12:03.060
Matt Landahl: Building any one time. So I won't get into details about that because we really haven't gotten into the details about that, but for sure.

37
00:12:03.510 --> 00:12:10.620
Matt Landahl: It's something that is being thought about all over the country, probably in almost every state in school district is

38
00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:25.560
Matt Landahl: You know that there's a blended sort of distance learning and kids and buildings and then the, the last piece is also if we have to be closed again, whether it's rolling closures due to due to due to outbreaks and

39
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:37.590
Matt Landahl: And or if it's a if it's a long term closure. Again, not that we want that. But we want to be prepared for every contingency. So we see our job.

40
00:12:38.730 --> 00:12:47.520
Matt Landahl: Is doing everything possible to have things in place to reopen because we don't want you know us to be the reason that we don't

41
00:12:48.300 --> 00:13:07.770
Matt Landahl: But we also see our job to try to prepare for every single contingency that we can imagine. And so even though the you know the saying right now. And I think it's very true, is it's a lot. It's a lot easier to close them to reopen and like I said that's a very true statement.

42
00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:16.710
Matt Landahl: You know we had a nice model in place for the for the school closing in that we saw the possibility to coming several weeks ahead.

43
00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:21.750
Matt Landahl: We started planning as an administrative group for all the contingencies.

44
00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:34.980
Matt Landahl: We were able to put our food program in place. The, the first day of the closure, we were able to get Chromebooks in the hands of our students. I think by day two of the closure, we were able to implement distance learning

45
00:13:35.790 --> 00:13:42.150
Matt Landahl: Really that first day of the closer as well because teachers had a little bit of time to prepare. So I'm really proud of the district's efforts.

46
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:53.010
Matt Landahl: In those areas. And we've we've done it at a large scale. And so we're trying to take the same mindset to this recovery reopening by preparing for all contingencies as best as possible.

47
00:13:54.210 --> 00:14:08.400
Matt Landahl: I happen to see an article and Ed week, which is the quote unquote paper of record for American education today and they're estimating that national Casa reopening schools that this goes beyond

48
00:14:09.420 --> 00:14:18.900
Matt Landahl: With schools spend just in a in a normal year they're estimating the cost reopening to be $41 billion and so

49
00:14:19.410 --> 00:14:29.220
Matt Landahl: So we're not sure what it's going to cost us to reopen and we're, we're trying to, you know, sort of think about that with the budget, but I'm putting that out there for the board.

50
00:14:30.180 --> 00:14:39.390
Matt Landahl: Just to be thinking about as well. This is a, this is a really I'll say interesting budget year this year and that we're not really sure we're getting from the state.

51
00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:49.110
Matt Landahl: That you know the the the state and the nation is going through a severe economic downturn and we're also trying to reopen

52
00:14:49.560 --> 00:15:02.970
Matt Landahl: School in a way that we've never read that we've never opened before. So it could be us needing to order new furniture for our students to at least make sure we have some of the basics like hand sanitizer.

53
00:15:03.540 --> 00:15:13.890
Matt Landahl: Machines throughout every building outside of classrooms for shorter entry ways thermometers. If we have to do temperature checks of all of our employees and students.

54
00:15:14.610 --> 00:15:20.820
Matt Landahl: Mass for people who don't have them. And this is just the start of our brainstorming and I'm sure it's going to get deeper

55
00:15:21.330 --> 00:15:35.010
Matt Landahl: So that's something that is is certainly a challenge for us in terms of thinking about the budget next year, we're really not sure. Right now what it's going to cost, but it's something that we have to really think about. So Mike, you go the next slide.

56
00:15:37.050 --> 00:15:45.930
Matt Landahl: So again, I just needed. Again, this is a slide from the last meeting, but I just put it up there again, just because we started this work.

57
00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:56.550
Matt Landahl: So we've done a few things we started the recovery reopening committee, the Duchess superintendents now meet on a weekly or even a couple of times a week basis.

58
00:15:57.180 --> 00:16:08.400
Matt Landahl: Our lot of our focus has been and closing the school year or wrapping the school year up but we are having a meeting with Mark melon arrow and just kind of staff to try to create some countywide health guidelines.

59
00:16:09.450 --> 00:16:22.110
Matt Landahl: We did the distance learning survey for our students, our families slash parents and our teachers, we've had a great response we've had over 1000 people respond

60
00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:31.260
Matt Landahl: To the survey. So we're really pleased with what we have seen so far I'm really proud of our students. There are probably our highest group of respondents

61
00:16:31.830 --> 00:16:36.690
Matt Landahl: And we have close to 500 students that have responded to the survey. So we're really happy about that.

62
00:16:37.110 --> 00:16:46.170
Matt Landahl: And so this is all part of our planning will probably be doing more surveys in the future to get a sense of what the community is thinking about next year.

63
00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:56.220
Matt Landahl: But it. But I think it's important to bring these things up as we talk about the budget because, you know, I said that their recovery reopening committee, the other day.

64
00:16:57.930 --> 00:17:04.830
Matt Landahl: Again, not to sound dramatic, but I said we're embarking on probably one of the greatest challenges of our collective careers.

65
00:17:05.250 --> 00:17:15.180
Matt Landahl: And trying to figure out a way to reopen and to do it safely. And so it's going to take the work of the community. It's going to take the square the community we will try to be

66
00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:31.110
Matt Landahl: As thorough and transparent and you know action oriented as we possibly can be. But it's also something that is we talked about the budget tonight. That is another variable in our thinking for the budget. So making go the next slide.

67
00:17:36.450 --> 00:17:40.080
Matt Landahl: So this is just some details or Emery, you're going to talk about this one. Sorry.

68
00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:47.550
Ann Marie Quartironi: That's okay. Again, it's the same slide is what we had talked about, just a reminder that the governor signed the executive order.

69
00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:57.390
Ann Marie Quartironi: That we are having our school district budget vote on June 9 it will be all by absentee ballot, which is something extremely different than what we're used to.

70
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:08.550
Ann Marie Quartironi: On the ballot will have the school district lovey, the budget and the howling library budget, as well as the board members of the school district and the trustees of the library.

71
00:18:08.910 --> 00:18:15.930
Ann Marie Quartironi: So we are in the final stages of creating absentee ballot and we will be getting that out.

72
00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:29.070
Ann Marie Quartironi: Tuesday or Wednesday of next week on the taxpayers will be receiving a postcard within the next couple of days. And it's just a reminder tells them when the date of the election is when the budget hearing is

73
00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:34.860
Ann Marie Quartironi: And then a definition of the qualified voter. And those were all requirements of the executive order signed by the governor

74
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.350
Ann Marie Quartironi: Can you do the next slide, Mike.

75
00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:45.450
Ann Marie Quartironi: And again, we talked about this slide. Last time as well. So tomorrow may

76
00:18:46.050 --> 00:18:53.880
Ann Marie Quartironi: 21 would have been the last day. The board could adopt the budget and the property tax report card needs to be filed with the state by the end of the day on Friday.

77
00:18:54.270 --> 00:19:02.640
Ann Marie Quartironi: A copy of the property tax report card is on the agenda to for the board to vote on the budget hearing again would be June 1

78
00:19:03.060 --> 00:19:09.450
Ann Marie Quartironi: June 9 is the budget vote by absentee ballot and we are planning to have a canvas of votes meeting on June 10

79
00:19:10.050 --> 00:19:15.300
Ann Marie Quartironi: The one thing that I took off of this slide. Was it had a revolt with a question mark.

80
00:19:15.990 --> 00:19:31.110
Ann Marie Quartironi: Because normally we are allowed to have a revolt. If for some reason our budget were to be defeated, but unfortunately there looks like there is absolutely no chance to revolt. That's we've been checking with our attorney who's been checking with news.

81
00:19:32.250 --> 00:19:43.170
Ann Marie Quartironi: So, I think. So we're going with the vote goes out and then if for some reason it is defeated, we would have to go to contingency which we'll talk about a little bit more in a little while.

82
00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:45.630
Ann Marie Quartironi: I'm Mike can you go down to the next slide.

83
00:19:47.370 --> 00:19:55.050
Ann Marie Quartironi: So again, this is the revenue side of the budget, but it just represents the the budget that we are putting forward.

84
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:04.170
Ann Marie Quartironi: The lovey amount is at the tax cap the $1.3 million is the increase from last year's levy to this year's lovey.

85
00:20:04.620 --> 00:20:14.430
Ann Marie Quartironi: And it's 3.23%, which is what our tax cap calculation is. And again, I'll just remind you again that we had recommended at a prior board meeting.

86
00:20:14.760 --> 00:20:28.800
Ann Marie Quartironi: That we were not going to go out for a proposition for buses this year. So that's why this looks a little bit different and the money that we would allocate to pay for a band, we decided to put back into the budget and be able to keep as much program as possible.

87
00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:31.710
Ann Marie Quartironi: My, can you go down to the next slide.

88
00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:42.330
Ann Marie Quartironi: Um, this is, again, just a reminder, how this is all playing out with our pandemic adjustment that we received from New York State.

89
00:20:42.750 --> 00:20:58.890
Ann Marie Quartironi: And it's the same amount is what we're getting from the feds Care Act, which is the first stimulus package that's going right to the school districts, though. The one thing that is totally confusing because we we were anticipating hearing from the governor's office on Friday, May 15th.

90
00:21:00.300 --> 00:21:08.280
Ann Marie Quartironi: What the first reduction was going to be for state aid. And so, which is why everyone is getting their budgets adopted across the state this week.

91
00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:20.760
Ann Marie Quartironi: What we did not hear that the Governor and the division of budget chairperson both talked about federal stimulus. And they talked about that they were encouraged that we were going to get federal stimulus.

92
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:37.560
Ann Marie Quartironi: As you know, it's not a done deal. It's in the Senate, at the moment, but they did not really give us any more information. So we were still at the same level that we were a couple weeks ago, which is why we're recommending the budget in the same format that we had talked about before.

93
00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.930
Ann Marie Quartironi: Can you go down to the next slide.

94
00:21:42.690 --> 00:21:49.500
Matt Landahl: So this is just a review of the past several budget years in terms of things we've been able to add to

95
00:21:53.040 --> 00:21:56.850
Matt Landahl: To to make the student series positive

96
00:21:58.050 --> 00:22:05.400
Matt Landahl: more engaging and produce a higher levels of achievement. So the biggest initiative was our elementary class size reduction.

97
00:22:05.910 --> 00:22:17.430
Matt Landahl: Dimension at the last meeting that we brought that down to 18.5 average across our elementary classes, Vol four schools and this last year for schools were probably

98
00:22:18.390 --> 00:22:27.330
Matt Landahl: Club. The closest to being equal than I've ever seen in terms of the average we added a fourth graders from the music and additional social worker at the high school

99
00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:32.880
Matt Landahl: And adding to the two we already have point five our teaching position.

100
00:22:33.990 --> 00:22:38.160
Matt Landahl: We went one to one Chromebook for all students. I always used to say.

101
00:22:39.330 --> 00:22:43.530
Matt Landahl: Just the secondary kids take them home and the elementary kids they hit they stay

102
00:22:44.070 --> 00:22:59.700
Matt Landahl: At school, but obviously that changed on March 16. And so all of our students. We have some kindergarten classes, not using the Chromebooks. But all of our students have access to them and have been using them to do distance learning. And then we also last year.

103
00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:05.880
Matt Landahl: Put a three or professional development.

104
00:23:07.350 --> 00:23:15.120
Matt Landahl: Plan out in front of the community and the board that we were really excited about because of these changes. We're obviously

105
00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:32.640
Matt Landahl: You know that's something that we're scaling back for sure. But these are all things to celebrate. They all directly impacted either our staff or students, or both. And I think really helps improve learning conditions here and beacon can go the next slide my

106
00:23:39.810 --> 00:23:40.170
Matt Landahl: Memory.

107
00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:55.530
Ann Marie Quartironi: And I was just going over some budget considerations we had talked about to elementary positions, not being replaced. And, you know, Matt had talked about the class sizes, which wouldn't change that much from 18.5 to 19.2

108
00:23:56.250 --> 00:24:04.380
Ann Marie Quartironi: We were not going to fill the business teacher position. There's a middle school math teaching position that doesn't need to be replaced going forward.

109
00:24:05.310 --> 00:24:16.830
Ann Marie Quartironi: We did make some reductions in the professional development area in this current budget and then there were reductions in maintenance transportation and the clerical error which are considerations we can make going forward.

110
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:20.250
Ann Marie Quartironi: Can you go the next slide, Mike.

111
00:24:24.630 --> 00:24:35.790
Ann Marie Quartironi: So this is the first conversation we had about contingency and in a contingent budget only expenses that are ordinary in contingent expenditures, which is quotes. That's the law.

112
00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:45.780
Ann Marie Quartironi: The more important piece of that is that we are not allowed to increase the tax levy from the prior year if our budget gets defeated and we go to contingent budget.

113
00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:52.140
Ann Marie Quartironi: So for us this year, that would mean a $1.3 MILLION CUT TO THE PROPOSED operating budget.

114
00:24:53.100 --> 00:25:00.240
Ann Marie Quartironi: What, what makes it worse and more scary is that that's assuming we get 100% of this state aid that

115
00:25:01.050 --> 00:25:18.810
Ann Marie Quartironi: Was in the inactive budget for the state. And we already just spoke about the governor continuing to talk about cutting our aid. So, not only would we have to cut the 1.3 we're still not 100% sure about the state aid. So, which makes it much, much more scary. This year about going into contingency.

116
00:25:20.580 --> 00:25:21.750
Ann Marie Quartironi: Can you go the next slide, Mike.

117
00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:29.640
Ann Marie Quartironi: And these are these are items that we have to that are not included in a contingent budget.

118
00:25:30.330 --> 00:25:44.790
Ann Marie Quartironi: By law, non mandatory equipment purchases certain students supplies facility, use of our buildings we do let a lot of the communities use our buildings for free. They would have to pay full price for it. There'll be redundant.

119
00:25:45.960 --> 00:26:03.330
Ann Marie Quartironi: Reductions in the use of it, we would have to cut back on the hours computer hardware that's not for educational purposes, we'd have to look at athletics, the way we offer athletics, the way we offer clubs. Some of the music and the music electives that we were lucky to add in

120
00:26:04.650 --> 00:26:19.080
Ann Marie Quartironi: in prior years budgets and we always have to look at increase class size which is something that the board and demonstration of work really hard to keep low. So these are these are things that would have to be considered going forward. If we had to go to contingency.

121
00:26:21.510 --> 00:26:22.620
Ann Marie Quartironi: My, can you go the next slide.

122
00:26:25.050 --> 00:26:29.160
Matt Landahl: So we obviously we're in a totally different.

123
00:26:31.530 --> 00:26:38.220
Matt Landahl: Environment right now. And so, so I just wanted to lay out some of the things we're going to do to communicate about the budget.

124
00:26:38.820 --> 00:26:49.860
Matt Landahl: We will still send a budget newsletter to all voters. We're working on putting that together, at least the initial part, obviously, waiting for the board to top the budget.

125
00:26:50.910 --> 00:26:51.300
Matt Landahl: Just

126
00:26:53.250 --> 00:26:57.960
Matt Landahl: Regular messages see people who are on my email list.

127
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:10.350
Matt Landahl: To just remind them about the votes. You know, it's a different way of doing it this year and we want to make sure that people are reminded frequently about remembering SIP out

128
00:27:11.310 --> 00:27:19.770
Matt Landahl: The use of social media and the district to highlight aspects of the budget. I see this budget as a way to really try to preserve

129
00:27:20.910 --> 00:27:34.560
Matt Landahl: Many of the gains that we've made in the district over the past few years. And so we want to try to find ways to highlight it. We also want to find ways to highlight. I think some of the really powerful work we've been doing

130
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:48.540
Matt Landahl: The past couple of months. So one of the things we're really excited about. I don't have the exact day that this is going to happen today I've got excited to work with the math a little bit and worked with Anne Marie and Karen Picabo

131
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.700
Matt Landahl: But our meals program has been masses.

132
00:27:54.840 --> 00:28:05.910
Matt Landahl: In in bacon. This year we have two sites where we're really hundreds of people come to pick up meals for their kids. And then we also deliver

133
00:28:06.390 --> 00:28:20.520
Matt Landahl: Several hundred meals. And so we're approaching our 100,000 meal. So before this year is out will deliver 200,000 meals or are handed off hundred thousand meals story on people in the district.

134
00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:29.940
Matt Landahl: And so we really want to celebrate that on social media and I my other communication channels. It's been a massive team effort to do that.

135
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:44.220
Matt Landahl: Not even though the most important people are our, you know, our food services department who put the deals together and Karen, but we also have excuse me bus drivers delivering

136
00:28:45.450 --> 00:28:54.390
Matt Landahl: And then we have this huge army of people who who who voluntarily kind of help us out either with the distribution or the delivery.

137
00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:04.050
Matt Landahl: And so, you know, I'm a part of one of those teams. I'm stationed at South Africa. Every Monday and Wednesday morning, but we have a number of administrators teachers.

138
00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:18.960
Matt Landahl: You know clerical to teaching assistants really people from all different departments and units in our district helping out could piece meals out, although I don't know this data for sure, just sort of

139
00:29:19.830 --> 00:29:32.400
Matt Landahl: Looking at what's going around in the area or the county. I think we probably have one of the biggest and most successful meals programs around and there's something we're really proud of. And I think it's something that's made a huge difference.

140
00:29:33.570 --> 00:29:42.720
Matt Landahl: So we aim to continue that over the summer. Matt look exactly the same. But the reason I'm sharing that tonight. Is that something to be really proud of.

141
00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:52.020
Matt Landahl: And and it's something I think to help really inform the community of what we've been doing even in this time of the district being close

142
00:29:52.800 --> 00:30:01.350
Matt Landahl: We obviously haven't really been close. We've had to just change the way we operate, but whenever I read whenever I read things about

143
00:30:02.250 --> 00:30:12.360
Matt Landahl: You know about the food issues with school closure. Not that I say we've solved the issue. I feel I do feel proud as a district that we did everything

144
00:30:12.840 --> 00:30:22.950
Matt Landahl: Under our power to get two meals out to as many people as we could. So another thing we'll do also or I will do is just reaching out to PTO leaders and community leaders.

145
00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:30.570
Matt Landahl: For helping getting the word out about the the different way we're voting this year excuse the end to supply them with information about

146
00:30:31.830 --> 00:30:33.030
Matt Landahl: Excuse me about the boat.

147
00:30:34.590 --> 00:30:55.290
Matt Landahl: So I'll be doing that starting tomorrow. And I'm really excited to do that. And so anyway, we're we're excited to put the word out in lots of different ways. And if we if we besides the pledges HEARING ON JUNE 1 if it makes sense for us to do you know like another sort of zoom meeting.

148
00:30:56.310 --> 00:31:01.920
Matt Landahl: With a group of people or a PTO or something will look into doing that as well for Mike, you know, the next slide.

149
00:31:04.020 --> 00:31:08.910
Matt Landahl: So this is just a chance for folks to ask those questions or discuss

150
00:31:18.870 --> 00:31:20.190
Anthony White: Board members have questions.

151
00:31:20.310 --> 00:31:23.100
Mike Rutkoske: Yes, I'm just trying to get off mute.

152
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:38.850
Mike Rutkoske: One one concern I have with this budget is with all the, you know, impact of the coronavirus you know people have, you know, lost their jobs or having or reduced work hours really

153
00:31:39.300 --> 00:31:51.390
Mike Rutkoske: Might be struggling with, you know, making, making ends meet. There's some uncertainty. And my concern is raising raising this budget three 3.17%

154
00:31:53.250 --> 00:32:06.750
Mike Rutkoske: is concerning for me if there's if there's not something we can do to curb that and do our part to help the taxpayer and in our, in our town, you know, the future is uncertain. So that's, that's one concern that I have with this with those budgets.

155
00:32:12.180 --> 00:32:15.630
Anthony White: Died my perspective is, I think that we're being fiscally responsible

156
00:32:16.170 --> 00:32:24.870
Anthony White: Arm knowing that we're providing for our students the best possible way. Knowing that the state is so up in the air. It's going to be hard to

157
00:32:25.410 --> 00:32:33.330
Anthony White: You know, make sure that we have the funds to do to educate the kids necessary to meet our strategic plan goals as well as our mission and vision.

158
00:32:33.810 --> 00:32:41.520
Anthony White: And you know I know beacon has one of the lowest no taxes and that's just county for it for the people that we live in. And we can always just

159
00:32:42.090 --> 00:32:44.940
Anthony White: Be the best that we possibly can. I think that's just my opinion.

160
00:32:47.370 --> 00:32:59.070
Craig Wolf: So this is Craig, I think we should be very alert to the possibilities further stated reductions we don't have the definitive word yet.

161
00:32:59.790 --> 00:33:14.310
Craig Wolf: And there's the word I see so far is more negative than positive because we're not see serious commitment at the level of the United States government take the Senate.

162
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:34.650
Craig Wolf: Serious help for the States which would flow through to final services including bolstering state aid. So I'm very concerned about the potential for further reductions and what would appear to be budgeted revenue side, even as it stands now.

163
00:33:36.390 --> 00:33:42.570
Anthony White: And the other concern I have is, Emery. If you go to the slide where it had the federal cares act piece.

164
00:33:42.870 --> 00:33:48.030
Anthony White: Yes, so that they're reducing our state aid by that amount. Correct.

165
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:53.910
Anthony White: Correct, but then they're giving the federal aid to to compensate for the reduction in state aid.

166
00:33:54.450 --> 00:34:01.200
Anthony White: Correct. So was something wasn't this something similar that was done in 2008 2009 when

167
00:34:01.470 --> 00:34:11.880
Anthony White: And it's basically readjusting the baseline aid for the district because federal aid doesn't roll over from year to year where that will be a one time aid from the federal cares act.

168
00:34:12.270 --> 00:34:17.430
Anthony White: And they might they might be readjusting the baseline for state aid and it could be loved by that amount in

169
00:34:18.690 --> 00:34:19.470
Anthony White: future years.

170
00:34:19.740 --> 00:34:32.910
Ann Marie Quartironi: Yes, it took a long time for the aid to come back after the 2008 because that money never really came back, mainly came through foundation aid, but it took a hit. And then that became the baseline going forward.

171
00:34:33.240 --> 00:34:44.640
Anthony White: So what they did compensated. The next year with federal funds, right. So, so it was there, but then the years after it wasn't there, because the federal funds aren't multiple years it's really just that one year. Correct.

172
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:45.390
Ann Marie Quartironi: Correct.

173
00:34:45.810 --> 00:34:58.740
Anthony White: Yes. So basically, then are so I'm just going to use a simple analogy. If we had a $10 million state aid and then they reduce it by 500,000 so then we received $9.5

174
00:35:00.120 --> 00:35:08.880
Anthony White: Million from the state, the federal government that your gave us $500,000 so we still had the 10 million, but the year after that.

175
00:35:09.330 --> 00:35:17.850
Anthony White: Our new baseline a was basically $9.5 million and then that's where the foundation. A came up and then we never really even received all the Foundation, a correct

176
00:35:18.180 --> 00:35:19.680
Ann Marie Quartironi: Correct, yes.

177
00:35:22.740 --> 00:35:27.270
meredithheuer: Yeah, I agree with you, Anthony. I think that the state has indicated that

178
00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:39.720
meredithheuer: That we will receive further cuts and so we have to be responsible to our students as well. I really feel for people that are struggling to pay their taxes. And I think that's really

179
00:35:40.350 --> 00:35:48.900
meredithheuer: I knowledge that that is a problem, but at the same time, you know we we have to be responsible to our students and they are going to need a lot and and Matt.

180
00:35:49.590 --> 00:36:00.270
meredithheuer: Talking about this $41 billion to reopen. I mean, there are so many costs about this that we don't even understand yet so it seems irresponsible to

181
00:36:01.470 --> 00:36:07.710
meredithheuer: To not go to the lovey, as much as we can. Unfortunately, I mean, I wish they were another option but

182
00:36:07.860 --> 00:36:23.100
Kristan Flynn: I also think there's something that I'm while I recognize a very real economic impact that's going on here right now beacon is sort of poised to take this interesting shift because a lot of the

183
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:31.560
Kristan Flynn: Lot of the stories. I'm seeing are about people selling their properties in the city and moving out and buying

184
00:36:32.040 --> 00:36:38.460
Kristan Flynn: Homes and this is one of the main places they're looking at because they don't want to write out a pandemic again in

185
00:36:39.330 --> 00:36:50.940
Kristan Flynn: Or you know any sort of ongoing situation in a New York City apartment. And so there's definitely housing that's moving here and families that are moving here that

186
00:36:51.390 --> 00:37:03.990
Kristan Flynn: won't have a problem, paying these, you know, some of these taxes and if anything might either create an increased burden or have sort of very high expectations of the district that they're moving into

187
00:37:04.350 --> 00:37:13.200
Kristan Flynn: And I think that we can't always be assuming that, um, that the situation is static, you know, this is going to shift and

188
00:37:14.010 --> 00:37:23.760
Kristan Flynn: Not only will not only do the most models say that there's going to be a rebound but beacons can sort of shift pretty drastically and there I think there will be

189
00:37:24.300 --> 00:37:35.550
Kristan Flynn: Um, you know, people who can pay those taxes fairly easily. I'm very sensitive to those who are struggling and very aware, um, I just think that sometimes

190
00:37:36.120 --> 00:37:50.460
Kristan Flynn: The first expectation is that schools and kids should fall on their sword, and there's lots of other places to cut in education before you get to how you have a district that state that responsibly functions stays within the CAP.

191
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:54.930
James Case-Leal: I'd love to.

192
00:37:54.990 --> 00:37:56.040
Mike Rutkoske: I'd love to a second that

193
00:37:56.070 --> 00:37:56.640
Mike Rutkoske: As well.

194
00:37:57.270 --> 00:37:59.250
James Case-Leal: I've two comments on that one. I just thought of.

195
00:37:59.730 --> 00:38:01.800
James Case-Leal: Just because of the Great point. Kristen just made.

196
00:38:02.850 --> 00:38:13.230
James Case-Leal: Anecdotally, the house next door to me has been on the market since December and I was just talking to the owner today. He says he's gotten 20 offers in the past two weeks off from people from New York City.

197
00:38:14.040 --> 00:38:26.310
James Case-Leal: That are scrambling I think to move to escape the city. So I think that is a great point. And the second is something that I'm always, I am very sensitive, of course, taxes are an expense that people have to have to pay, but

198
00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:32.040
James Case-Leal: When we're thinking about people who are hit the worst by financial financial insecurity.

199
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:41.760
James Case-Leal: Education is without a doubt proven to be the one service that is most effective of lifting people out of poverty and best serving those people, indeed.

200
00:38:42.600 --> 00:38:55.980
James Case-Leal: So I think the what the impulse, the logic there is some rationality behind thinking make people if we get people to collectively pay last but I think actually collectively chipping in education is the best way to help people in need.

201
00:38:59.040 --> 00:39:05.160
meredithheuer: James. I think that's a great point. And we'll Anthony. I'm sure we'll talk about this later, but we spoke with Sue Serena yesterday.

202
00:39:05.610 --> 00:39:15.120
meredithheuer: And Anthony made exactly that point that we need to be thinking long term and long term. If we continue to cut away on our budgets and services that we're giving the students

203
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:25.470
meredithheuer: All of these taxpayers will pay in a different way because that there will be people that are not self sufficient and can't support themselves so it will come out of the budget and either way.

204
00:39:28.530 --> 00:39:35.280
Mike Rutkoske: I have a comment in the list of considerations that slide, what, what was that side, trying to convey

205
00:39:36.330 --> 00:39:38.010
Mike Rutkoske: Was up maybe two slides.

206
00:39:39.060 --> 00:39:42.420
Mike Rutkoske: Little considerations. So the consideration slide.

207
00:39:42.450 --> 00:39:51.120
Ann Marie Quartironi: We're on some areas that if we needed to cut more we could do that. So we have the business teacher position.

208
00:39:51.570 --> 00:40:00.480
Ann Marie Quartironi: Is not is currently not in the budget, we in the budget that we presented to you, um, some of the other positions are some of the other reductions were

209
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:11.280
Ann Marie Quartironi: considerations that we could make if we got a cut in state aid or, you know, God forbid, we got we had to go to contingency. So those are areas but

210
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:23.070
Ann Marie Quartironi: Most of that most of those things are still in the budget and they're really basically they are to kind of absorb a state aid cut if we were supposed to get one on the first try.

211
00:40:23.700 --> 00:40:34.530
Mike Rutkoske: Okay, so. So if I'm so what if, what if we approve this budget and then the state aid stays the same, or goes up. Do we, do we get to not

212
00:40:35.430 --> 00:40:44.100
Mike Rutkoske: Do we get to reduce our budget because some of those positions. We've already said we're not going to fill. So it's kind of forcing us to keep some

213
00:40:44.640 --> 00:41:00.510
Mike Rutkoske: Extra in the budget, just as an in case which is OK as a contingency. But if but if. What if the State keep you know doesn't cut their what they give us. I think it's not shouldn't be a windfall for us to to add to our fund balance which is already pretty high.

214
00:41:01.350 --> 00:41:03.240
meredithheuer: I think Mike, I'm sorry, but

215
00:41:03.330 --> 00:41:06.540
meredithheuer: I just want to remind you that there are things that we have planned to do

216
00:41:07.230 --> 00:41:15.690
meredithheuer: Before the pandemic began that we are not doing now, we were talking about a reading specialist and other supports for students that are not happening now. So

217
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:27.210
meredithheuer: This is here. Definitely. But there's there's so many things that we want to do in this district. And actually, we're planning to do before this happened that are not happening at this point. And those I considered because

218
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:40.110
Mike Rutkoske: What what is, what is our fund balance. Now, and, and have we determined how much money we're not spending in this year's budget so you know where's that going

219
00:41:40.380 --> 00:41:50.820
Ann Marie Quartironi: So the areas, mainly we will save a little bit in utilities and we're mainly mainly saving in fuel for the buses, because we have not been running the buses for the last three months.

220
00:41:51.330 --> 00:42:01.620
Ann Marie Quartironi: So all of that money we're hoping to increase some of our reserves. We talked about the Teachers Retirement reserve. So, you know, going forward, because this is more of a multi year kind of plan.

221
00:42:02.010 --> 00:42:09.150
Ann Marie Quartironi: Because not this coming budget year but the following year, I think, is still not going to be great and we needed to have some money to support that.

222
00:42:09.750 --> 00:42:18.330
Ann Marie Quartironi: Um, we try to the work the unemployment reserve, we need to increase that because we don't know what's going to go on going forward.

223
00:42:18.810 --> 00:42:25.800
Ann Marie Quartironi: Because we're a direct pay of unemployment claims. So basically we're trying to plan for the worst. So

224
00:42:26.640 --> 00:42:42.360
Ann Marie Quartironi: If the worst doesn't come and we get exactly the right amount of state aid yes our fund balance would be higher, but we do appropriate two and a half million dollars every year to our tax levy. So at that point, next year, we could, it would either help further cuts in the

225
00:42:43.980 --> 00:42:51.960
Ann Marie Quartironi: Year, because I don't think the state is going to rebound that quickly. So even if we get the aid for this year, there's still multiple years

226
00:42:52.680 --> 00:42:58.410
Ann Marie Quartironi: The other part is we're going to anticipate an increase in the pension system employees retirement. Teachers Retirement

227
00:42:58.680 --> 00:43:09.690
Ann Marie Quartironi: Because they are directly tied to them to the stock market. So although you may not see the rate increase a lot next year, the year after and the year after that you will get some big increases so

228
00:43:09.930 --> 00:43:17.160
Ann Marie Quartironi: putting more money into the employees retirement or Teachers Retirement reserve will be helpful in the next two or three years going out.

229
00:43:18.630 --> 00:43:26.940
Kristan Flynn: So just want to make sure that we're clear about a certain point that you brought up, which is and I think it's something we've discussed about our fund balance because when you go through

230
00:43:27.540 --> 00:43:42.780
Kristan Flynn: Board to training, you're told that I think it's 3% no more than 3% is supposed to be in fun balance but 4% okay but then I do know that we have asked this question of our

231
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:50.820
Kristan Flynn: Auditors and of our financial planners and they have both been pretty emphatic that what

232
00:43:51.450 --> 00:43:58.320
Kristan Flynn: Emery has done is responsible, by keeping a slightly higher fund balance and that they know districts that have a much higher fund balance.

233
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:08.850
Kristan Flynn: I it's it's definitely confusing because we have this very clear directive as board members. But then, you know, we don't necessarily have to make these decisions.

234
00:44:10.260 --> 00:44:20.700
Kristan Flynn: Day by day and and it certainly seems like there's a there's a different interpretation based on

235
00:44:22.110 --> 00:44:32.100
Kristan Flynn: Based on what you know our auditors and our financial planners have said they think is workable. I think that a lot of that financial training is

236
00:44:32.490 --> 00:44:45.870
Kristan Flynn: Related to overseeing the potential for malfeasance and so that's why you know it's kind of makes you sort of push as board members are supposed to push towards not having large fund balance but

237
00:44:46.350 --> 00:44:54.780
Kristan Flynn: The. I just want to clarify that are putting that kind of fact out there that are fund balances high it's high relative to what we're recommended

238
00:44:55.260 --> 00:45:05.340
Kristan Flynn: To expect as board members and I feel like that is framed around that entire training is very much framed in reaction to a district that had

239
00:45:06.300 --> 00:45:16.830
Kristan Flynn: A problem with list management, but it's not in terms of practical application of how districts function a hard and fast rule. And so we are well within an acceptable.

240
00:45:18.030 --> 00:45:18.780
Kristan Flynn: fund balance.

241
00:45:20.250 --> 00:45:26.040
Ann Marie Quartironi: Mike, I want to just add to it quickly. I did do a webinar with the controller's office and so

242
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:33.570
Ann Marie Quartironi: Although they cannot tell us to add more to than 4% they told us the law they they said that

243
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:42.900
Ann Marie Quartironi: That would be something that the law would have to change, but they but all of the other webinars are talking about school districts trying to put as much in fund balance as possible.

244
00:45:43.230 --> 00:45:50.790
Ann Marie Quartironi: For next year to offset any kind of state aid cut because that's really the thought process. So, you know, look.

245
00:45:51.270 --> 00:45:56.760
Ann Marie Quartironi: Look at your reserves. Make your reserves. What you need them to be, but then have money available and fund balance.

246
00:45:57.390 --> 00:46:09.900
Ann Marie Quartironi: Because the state aid number that we were allocated in the state budget, he has to meet certain markers, the governor like revenue and expenditures and for the first look back period. He has not met them.

247
00:46:10.680 --> 00:46:24.270
Ann Marie Quartironi: So, and we're not even sure if we do get a bailout for the federal stimulus, whether that would be enough not to get a cut from the state. So we're all pretty much doing the same thing as far as putting it in fund balance for this year.

248
00:46:27.570 --> 00:46:29.040
Anthony White: Are there any other questions.

249
00:46:32.430 --> 00:46:53.220
Mike Rutkoske: One more question. There's, there's two components to the the levy increase. One is the tax base growth factor. And then the tax cap. Correct. And the tax base growth factor is 1.5% I think about $620,000 yes so so if we if we said we recognize the

250
00:46:54.510 --> 00:47:06.660
Mike Rutkoske: State that some people are facing the hardships that some of our taxpayers might be facing and we said we're, we're not, we will do the normal tax cap, but not the growth factor, what would that impact beyond the budget.

251
00:47:08.070 --> 00:47:08.280
Mike Rutkoske: That

252
00:47:09.330 --> 00:47:20.130
Ann Marie Quartironi: Would be a direct reduction of $600,000 out of the budget and that's assuming that's also assuming that you're going to get all the state aid, which we don't know for for a fact.

253
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:26.040
Mike Rutkoske: What is the value of the items we have on the list as as consideration.

254
00:47:26.640 --> 00:47:33.090
Mike Rutkoske: You know, the things we're not going to fill in cases a day goes down. What is the value of those items.

255
00:47:33.570 --> 00:47:36.960
Ann Marie Quartironi: Currently, the values between two and $300,000

256
00:47:41.460 --> 00:47:42.240
Okay, thank you.

257
00:47:47.340 --> 00:47:55.350
Anthony White: Alright, I'm seeing all the questions I'm going to go to ask the Board. Hold on one second. I'm trying to see my

258
00:47:57.870 --> 00:47:58.740

James Case-Leal: Are we sure there are no

281

James Case-Leal: There no parent or student groups here.

Anthony White: Lori must just be lurking again.

303
01:25:34.200 --> 01:25:34.680
Anthony White: All right.

01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:43.560
Anthony White: Oh, do you, do you have a comment. You're trying to figure out how to use zoom. They have a comment.

306
01:25:46.740 --> 01:25:49.140
Anthony White: No. Okay, again next week.

307
01:25:51.090 --> 01:25:51.630
Anthony White: Alrighty.

308
01:25:54.870 --> 01:25:56.820
Anthony White: superintend support like Lando

309
01:25:59.730 --> 01:26:15.960
Matt Landahl: I shared a nice during the presentation I shared what we're focused on right now. And just to take 30 seconds to recap, we're really trying to focus on closing out the school year strong

310
01:26:17.130 --> 01:26:21.960
Matt Landahl: Putting the final plans in place for our seniors graduation.

311
01:26:23.130 --> 01:26:27.330
Matt Landahl: We have one more regional meeting and graduations tomorrow. And then our hope is that

312
01:26:28.440 --> 01:26:35.040
Matt Landahl: Elisa Soto at the high schools able to unveil the plan to her family's either tomorrow or Friday.

313
01:26:35.760 --> 01:26:44.970
Matt Landahl: And. And then the other thing we're had a major focus will have for the next four months is our recovery and reopening. And so that's where all of our energies are going and

314
01:26:45.630 --> 01:26:50.700
Matt Landahl: I'm really excited about the collaborative spirit and excited about trying to

315
01:26:51.180 --> 01:26:57.750
Matt Landahl: Move forward. And then finally, just to thank you to all the folks who filled out the distance learning survey I tried to make it as simple

316
01:26:58.380 --> 01:27:12.150
Matt Landahl: And easy to fill out as possible. But we've had, like, I think I mentioned 1000 people fill it out. A lot of students filled it out. And so I'll do one last push this week to get some more people to fill it out, but it really helps us plan for the future as well. So thank you.

317
01:27:19.110 --> 01:27:20.070
Matt Landahl: You're on mute. Anthony

318
01:27:20.520 --> 01:27:35.070
Anthony White: Yeah, I forget that sometimes, and it pops up my computer is good. It says you're muted. If you're trying to talk, I'm going to BOARD COMMENTS committee reports including our comments. We're going to go to the facilities operation committee.

319
01:27:36.390 --> 01:27:36.870
Anthony White: Because sin.

320
01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:44.850
Kristan Flynn: Matt and I had to reschedule a planned chat with

321
01:27:46.020 --> 01:28:05.520
Kristan Flynn: tetra tech, just to kind of work out some last final questions we might have, if we're going to move forward with them. My dad surgery was the same day. So I had to change it. And we just need to figure out what we're going to reschedule it for otherwise I don't have. I don't have any updates.

322
01:28:07.830 --> 01:28:08.880
Anthony White: Any questions for Kristin.

323
01:28:12.450 --> 01:28:14.340
Anthony White: Seeing them again, I've got a policy, James.

324
01:28:16.980 --> 01:28:17.580
James Case-Leal: I yes

325
01:28:18.750 --> 01:28:27.240
James Case-Leal: Before I talk about policy. I just want to say, personally, I'm really, I'm excited. Under these circumstances, but we can for our budget.

326
01:28:29.280 --> 01:28:34.890
James Case-Leal: I want to stay optimistic. I want to think that we're going to have the the best

327
01:28:36.150 --> 01:28:38.010
James Case-Leal: Out turn, but we really don't know.

328
01:28:39.120 --> 01:28:43.020
James Case-Leal: I'd like to just mention, I think that we probably all have a lot of shared frustration.

329
01:28:44.310 --> 01:28:51.330
James Case-Leal: We're in a time of crisis where we need the the most funding and that crisis is also demanding that we have the least

330
01:28:51.690 --> 01:28:59.400
James Case-Leal: And I think that we're doing the best we can. But I think we're all under quite a lot of stress, not just with the budget, but just universally

331
01:28:59.850 --> 01:29:03.900
James Case-Leal: And I think it's fair and okay to to acknowledge that it's a difficult time.

332
01:29:04.710 --> 01:29:12.360
James Case-Leal: I'm policy committee we we have technically under the schedule that was made at the beginning of the year.

333
01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:25.470
James Case-Leal: We have a meeting that was set for June 1 that doesn't work. Now weeks they have our budget hearing on that same day, so we need to set a new policy committee meeting to look at some policies. I know, Bill.

334
01:29:26.940 --> 01:29:29.700
James Case-Leal: So long. You mentioned that there were some pressing

335
01:29:31.500 --> 01:29:35.370
James Case-Leal: So some time sensitive policies that we need to look at sooner than later.

336
01:29:36.570 --> 01:29:45.960
James Case-Leal: Beyond that, I, my understanding is that most of the policy committee, our schedule is somewhat flexible, but the administration and know you are dealing a lot. So I want to find a way

337
01:29:46.380 --> 01:29:51.120
James Case-Leal: To schedule a meeting that we can actually keep the, the policy schedule moving forward.

338
01:29:51.870 --> 01:30:04.680
James Case-Leal: But also work within the and understand that the administrators under a lot of stress. So if you guys could let me know what needs to be to be looked at and what schedule worked with you, within the next few weeks, that would be great.

339
01:30:06.240 --> 01:30:13.500
Matt Landahl: Okay, I'll put a list together. The next policies, we need to look at. And I think we can meet

340
01:30:14.970 --> 01:30:18.780
Matt Landahl: It might be easier for us to meet after the budget vote.

341
01:30:19.830 --> 01:30:20.850
Matt Landahl: But I'll talk with the team.

342
01:30:22.020 --> 01:30:26.640
James Case-Leal: Okay, so you think likely will have a meeting in June, certainly not the first

343
01:30:28.020 --> 01:30:38.790
James Case-Leal: But yeah, maybe somewhere in there, maybe the second second week of days looks like. Okay. Yep. So I'll look out for your input on that and that's all I have. Thank you.

344
01:30:39.720 --> 01:30:40.860
Anthony White: Any questions for James

345
01:30:41.490 --> 01:30:47.190
Antony Tseng: You have a question for James. So there are some policies that have to be renewed reviewed annually.

346
01:30:48.330 --> 01:30:54.750
Antony Tseng: So they go back on the schedule, I guess, sir, July. Yeah. Um, so

347
01:30:55.890 --> 01:30:56.670
Antony Tseng: Is that the plan.

348
01:30:57.900 --> 01:31:00.990
James Case-Leal: Yeah, absolutely, is to look at what policies.

349
01:31:02.190 --> 01:31:08.970
James Case-Leal: Need to be to be updated by July. So we have, you know, we have Julian and maybe we can squeeze into meeting before

350
01:31:09.030 --> 01:31:10.560
William Rolon: For July, but like, there's going to be one.

351
01:31:11.340 --> 01:31:13.620
James Case-Leal: Will be waiting for input from administration on that.

352
01:31:15.060 --> 01:31:15.420
Thank you.

353
01:31:16.620 --> 01:31:18.180
Anthony White: Any other questions for James

354
01:31:20.220 --> 01:31:22.080
Anthony White: See none. We're gonna go to wellness floor.

355
01:31:24.780 --> 01:31:39.780
Flora Stadler: Hi. Um, yeah. So I after Kristen's really great idea. Last, last time we met about putting together a survey to get a sense of how kids and parents are feeling about

356
01:31:41.280 --> 01:31:45.270
Flora Stadler: You know about the school closures and situation and how it's impacting them emotionally

357
01:31:46.290 --> 01:31:53.190
Flora Stadler: I reached out to somebody that I work with that. Save the Children see the children recently did a survey.

358
01:31:53.250 --> 01:31:57.870
Anthony White: On this very issue they surveyed kids and parents across the US.

359
01:31:58.500 --> 01:31:59.910
Flora Stadler: And I threw together.

360
01:32:01.140 --> 01:32:09.960
Flora Stadler: A rough survey based on the questions they asked and and I'm working with this woman. She's helping me sort of fine tune it and I figured, excuse me.

361
01:32:10.530 --> 01:32:22.650
Flora Stadler: That Matt, I would send it to you and you can take it or leave it, or and use what you think is useful, but they you know they got a lot of good data out of the out of the work that they did. And so I think it's a good jumping off point.

362
01:32:23.520 --> 01:32:33.720
Matt Landahl: Okay. Yeah, I would love to see it. And we have a window of a, you know, two or three weeks where we kind of have

363
01:32:34.470 --> 01:32:37.860
Matt Landahl: Some people's attention to do it. So send it to me and

364
01:32:38.400 --> 01:32:50.610
Matt Landahl: And you know the distance learning server. I sent the kids was really simple. But I was really impressed with the number that filled it out. So I think we get a lot of responses or something. Yeah, I think people want to talk about it. So that's

365
01:32:51.780 --> 01:33:03.780
Kristan Flynn: A good idea to do is a pulse, like us, we would send it at the end of the year, middle of the summer. And then before school starts again because it really helps you to track the data of

366
01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:15.930
Kristan Flynn: You know floor if you wanted to whatever we used I can dump it into a stat software and that way we can track what what's going on and see what the

367
01:33:17.490 --> 01:33:25.170
Kristan Flynn: You know, what are the most salient issues I come up, but that I think those three metrics and then something that we do.

368
01:33:25.740 --> 01:33:38.550
Kristan Flynn: Ongoing will really help us get some good insight into what's going on with kids for you guys to use and weave into your instruction and planning. That's something that you're interested in.

369
01:33:39.690 --> 01:33:41.070
Matt Landahl: Oh, for sure. For sure.

370
01:33:43.680 --> 01:33:44.880
Matt Landahl: Yeah, thank you.

371
01:33:45.690 --> 01:33:45.960
Anthony White: All right.

372
01:33:46.020 --> 01:33:48.360
Kristan Flynn: I can make charts and really nice icons.

373
01:33:48.450 --> 01:33:52.440
Kristan Flynn: Because that's part of my job. Part of my skill set is finding good icon.

374
01:33:55.350 --> 01:33:56.520
Anthony White: Any questions for flora.

375
01:33:58.590 --> 01:34:01.350
Anthony White: Right, next we're gonna go diversity, Anthony.

376
01:34:03.180 --> 01:34:07.110
Antony Tseng: A Good evening, I'm obviously, there hasn't been any committee meetings.

377
01:34:08.490 --> 01:34:18.060
Antony Tseng: So I don't have much report on the on that, but I am glad to hear that we are at about the hundred thousand

378
01:34:19.830 --> 01:34:22.980
Antony Tseng: Mark of lunches providing to our kids.

379
01:34:24.090 --> 01:34:24.810
Antony Tseng: Thank you.

380
01:34:26.460 --> 01:34:29.640
Antony Tseng: To Matt in your in your entire team on that.

381
01:34:32.160 --> 01:34:43.500
Antony Tseng: Also, I just wanted to add a couple of, I guess, PSA is you know maze mental health awareness month and this week is actually also happens to be

382
01:34:44.460 --> 01:35:01.590
Antony Tseng: Emergency Medical Services week so I'm want to thank my colleagues know on the home turf of the unseen enemy that's happening right now. Um, and stay strong. Thank you.

383
01:35:03.360 --> 01:35:04.500
Anthony White: And questions for Anthony

384
01:35:06.330 --> 01:35:08.280
Anthony White: See none. We're going to go to Mike

385
01:35:09.810 --> 01:35:26.220
Mike Rutkoske: Sure, so first I'm really happy with all the effort and the time and the focus that Matt and the team has has done putting together the budget you know clearly articulate in the in the components of the budget, the risks that you know the opportunities things we could do.

386
01:35:27.660 --> 01:35:45.720
Mike Rutkoske: You know, in different situations. It's really unfortunate that the state doesn't have much more certainty for the districts, because its effect, you know, causing us to maybe keep a little extra contingency than we wouldn't normally do, if there was some certainty there.

387
01:35:46.740 --> 01:35:59.580
Mike Rutkoske: So that's unfortunate but it's certainly around that we have to deal. And so, so again, I appreciate it. All the, you know, their thoughtful putting that together and all the answers to the questions about it.

388
01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:08.370
Mike Rutkoske: One other one question when floor was talking about surveys is matter we we capturing any lessons learned, any, any

389
01:36:08.760 --> 01:36:20.880
Mike Rutkoske: You know what's going, well, what's not going well from the teachers point of view and also students point of view about distance learning. So we can, you know, grab that and improve upon it. Or share it certainly for you have to do this again.

390
01:36:21.480 --> 01:36:24.210
Matt Landahl: Yeah we we we put a survey out last

391
01:36:24.210 --> 01:36:30.660
Matt Landahl: Week. There's one just for students, one for parents and one for teachers.

392
01:36:32.340 --> 01:36:41.790
Matt Landahl: Are so and they both just asked her three questions. Are they all asked about two, three questions like, but worked really well what would help you do this better.

393
01:36:43.170 --> 01:36:48.750
Matt Landahl: And what resources do you think we might need to add next year. If we had to do distance learning

394
01:36:49.380 --> 01:36:56.790
Matt Landahl: And you know, we started to sift through the data. It's all obviously it's open ended questions, but you were seeing a lot of trends.

395
01:36:57.540 --> 01:37:10.200
Matt Landahl: Already, but the teachers filled it out at a very high level. So I think almost about 75% of our teacher staff filled it out, which is great. Our students a lot of students really filled it out from

396
01:37:11.220 --> 01:37:11.910
Matt Landahl: All the way through 12

397
01:37:12.990 --> 01:37:20.130
Matt Landahl: And a lot of parents filled it out. So, so that is part of our learning, you know, and so

398
01:37:21.870 --> 01:37:35.100
Matt Landahl: So, so we have to kind of debrief that and put some teams together this summer to try to plan for like the potential of it again because we certainly could find ways to do it better.

399
01:37:36.450 --> 01:37:48.510
Matt Landahl: But also from the survey. We have a lot to celebrate, but then also some some room for growth, which is which is a great place to be. So I'm happy. We put it out because a lot of people did it.

400
01:37:49.590 --> 01:38:01.770
Matt Landahl: And so, so we're going to sift through that with our administrative group and and like Kristin flora said, I think the next round of surveys are going to sort of try to get a gauge of

401
01:38:02.550 --> 01:38:09.180
Matt Landahl: The mental health side and also perhaps like the just trying to capture people's thoughts about next year, too.

402
01:38:10.350 --> 01:38:18.090
Matt Landahl: So anyway, people. People want to share right now. And so, so our first our first surveys have done really well.

403
01:38:19.770 --> 01:38:20.760
Mike Rutkoske: Great, thank you.

404
01:38:22.890 --> 01:38:24.630
Anthony White: All right, I'm going to Alyssa.

405
01:38:26.730 --> 01:38:43.230
Elissa: I have a sense from social media this week that there are some parents who are feeling unsettled about graduation ceremony. So I thought, if you have any update about what's happening for graduation, it might be good to say it here.

406
01:38:44.760 --> 01:38:50.820
Elissa: Because I may have told people on social media that you share this kind of information at the Board of Ed meeting.

407
01:38:55.320 --> 01:38:55.920
Anthony White: Muted

408
01:38:58.710 --> 01:39:00.450
Matt Landahl: I don't have the official update tonight.

409
01:39:01.680 --> 01:39:18.660
Matt Landahl: We there's like a regional meeting about graduation tomorrow with all superintendents and others. I know some have shared their plans. A lot. Have not I think we just want to make sure what we're thinking makes sense from a regional health perspective.

410
01:39:19.950 --> 01:39:33.120
Matt Landahl: But I think once we get that okay if if that's even the point of this meeting tomorrow. Then we're going to share. So we'll probably be sharing some our Friday and it'd be coming for both of Lisa Soto, and then I'll be sharing some of the two

411
01:39:34.500 --> 01:39:44.250
Matt Landahl: But it the plan right now is multifaceted and safe and personalize and i think i think it will capture

412
01:39:45.420 --> 01:39:52.440
Matt Landahl: The spirit, the positive spirit that we want to capture and really try to honor all the individuals graduating, but yet keep folks safe to

413
01:39:54.240 --> 01:39:54.690
Elissa: Thank you.

414
01:39:55.530 --> 01:40:05.880
James Case-Leal: Quite that just to incidental. I was just reading today about a virtual reality graduation, which, while I can't imagine the technical field. I thought was kind of a cool

415
01:40:09.150 --> 01:40:10.050
James Case-Leal: So something to think

416
01:40:13.980 --> 01:40:14.460
Anthony White: Anything else

417
01:40:15.300 --> 01:40:16.680
Elissa: No, that's all. Thank you.

418
01:40:17.250 --> 01:40:19.980
Anthony White: All right, Craig public relations.

419
01:40:21.630 --> 01:40:22.830
18457633727: So, can you hear me.

420
01:40:24.840 --> 01:40:36.480
18457633727: Very good. So I think that before you dress. There they wanted to say graduation, there is an opportunity to buy a yard sign that says we love our bhf seniors.

421
01:40:37.170 --> 01:40:48.120
18457633727: Class with 2020 I just got one this past week, and they're apparently still selling them and that that's one thing that we can do and they look great.

422
01:40:49.590 --> 01:40:51.900
18457633727: Very impressed with the food rollout.

423
01:40:52.920 --> 01:41:02.430
18457633727: With the quantity of it and the thoroughness of reaching out to the community. This is something where we can really be very proud.

424
01:41:03.480 --> 01:41:10.440
18457633727: Public Relations and advocacy certainly individual advocacy is always in order, as long as you don't represent

425
01:41:11.160 --> 01:41:20.310
18457633727: That you're speaking for the whole board. Obviously we do that by resolution, but we have free speech in America and lots of this like to use it. So,

426
01:41:20.820 --> 01:41:36.090
18457633727: If you see something you can say something. So I heard that Meredith's and Anthony had a conversation with Susa reno our state senator from this district, I'd be interested to hear what transpired.

427
01:41:37.140 --> 01:41:45.960
18457633727: And we don't have any meetings coming up as a moment till we figure out exactly what our schedule is here, so look for some guidance from

428
01:41:47.310 --> 01:41:49.380
18457633727: Our officers as to what might work.

429
01:41:51.060 --> 01:41:53.490
18457633727: There it is today. Can you tell us about your

430
01:41:54.120 --> 01:41:54.570
Anthony White: Regular

431
01:41:54.630 --> 01:41:56.340
Anthony White: will address that during our board comments.

432
01:41:57.420 --> 01:41:59.430
Anthony White: Okay, we haven't had our board comments yet.

433
01:42:01.620 --> 01:42:02.670
James Case-Leal: I'm quick question for correct

434
01:42:03.570 --> 01:42:03.780
18457633727: Yeah.

435
01:42:03.930 --> 01:42:04.410
18457633727: Do you

436
01:42:04.440 --> 01:42:07.800
James Case-Leal: Do you have. I was just looking through my email. I remember seeing

437
01:42:08.520 --> 01:42:17.910
James Case-Leal: A link to to buy one of the we support our VHS seniors and I can't find it into my email if you have that. Could you send that around to the board.

438
01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:20.010
18457633727: I think I can find it. Yeah.

439
01:42:21.030 --> 01:42:22.980
James Case-Leal: That would be great. Okay.

440
01:42:25.470 --> 01:42:26.670
Anthony White: Any other questions for Craig.

441
01:42:29.190 --> 01:42:30.180
Anthony White: Alright, Meredith Europe.

442
01:42:33.270 --> 01:42:37.860
meredithheuer: I'm Anthony. I'm gonna let you review the two three no call

443
01:42:39.150 --> 01:42:52.020
meredithheuer: I wanted to just say quickly if if everyone isn't totally surveyed out. I put a link to a survey here which is put together by both sides by all 37 near cosies

444
01:42:53.490 --> 01:42:58.080
meredithheuer: Groups and it's I think it's similar. It's about you know how you felt about your distance learning

445
01:42:59.460 --> 01:43:08.100
meredithheuer: Experience. I think it's important to get those experiences out as much as possible. I'm really happy to hear that. We've had such a good response to ours.

446
01:43:09.630 --> 01:43:25.230
meredithheuer: And I did want to let the board know that Jonathan Jacobson's office reached out to me and and he was interested in hearing about how the election that this new election process is impacting us

447
01:43:26.070 --> 01:43:41.040
meredithheuer: I pointed him to the well I pointed pointed his chief of staff to the letter that I think everyone I think I send it to everyone or someone's around. Anyway, written by the superintendent from Kingston, but I thought explained it really well.

448
01:43:42.930 --> 01:43:43.770
meredithheuer: And

449
01:43:46.020 --> 01:43:48.540
meredithheuer: Yeah, that, you know, we'll see if they have any more.

450
01:43:50.040 --> 01:44:00.000
meredithheuer: Questions. After that, but if you haven't read that. It's really good. I think it explains how this is a bit of a burden on every district larger districts, more than our own district.

451
01:44:00.690 --> 01:44:09.690
meredithheuer: Not only is it expensive but also just really hard to do, given that it's not just registered voters that can vote for this, but any eligible voter and

452
01:44:10.770 --> 01:44:20.130
meredithheuer: Trying to figure out who the eligible voters are is is is a big process. And I think that's it for me. Yeah.

453
01:44:21.960 --> 01:44:22.980
Anthony White: Any questions for Meredith

454
01:44:26.160 --> 01:44:26.970
Anthony White: Alright see no

455
01:44:28.200 --> 01:44:31.680
Antony Tseng: Sorry murder. He posted a thought exchange was that link for

456
01:44:33.300 --> 01:44:39.840
meredithheuer: That's the link from the bases and community it's it's a disconcerting survey.

457
01:44:41.460 --> 01:44:42.060
Antony Tseng: Okay, thank you.

458
01:44:42.270 --> 01:44:43.170
meredithheuer: And I don't know.

459
01:44:43.890 --> 01:44:44.490
meredithheuer: If we

460
01:44:44.580 --> 01:44:47.670
meredithheuer: Want to share it more widely Matt and that's up to you.

461
01:44:48.810 --> 01:44:55.320
Matt Landahl: Yeah, I got it, I got an email about it today, I think. So with the information about sharing so

462
01:44:56.760 --> 01:44:57.570
Matt Landahl: send that out.

463
01:44:57.690 --> 01:45:00.180
meredithheuer: It's good for nine more days, I think. Okay.

464
01:45:02.730 --> 01:45:03.930
Anthony White: Any other questions for Meredith

465
01:45:05.970 --> 01:45:15.210
Anthony White: Alright, so as Craig mentioned, Meredith, and I had a conversation with a Sen su serie now of the 41st district was it yesterday. Yesterday,

466
01:45:16.020 --> 01:45:26.220
Anthony White: I remember. Yeah, I think it was yesterday. Yesterday at 130 arm. It was in response to the letter that Meredith had written

467
01:45:26.700 --> 01:45:42.390
Anthony White: Arms, she responded back letting us know that she wrote a letter to Governor Cuomo. I'm saying you know about the reimagining education committee and how their needs to be educators on that committee that was her letter basically to Cuomo, I'll ask

468
01:45:43.500 --> 01:45:52.680
Anthony White: Us Kelly. I think Kelly has it, or where there was a link to her website that she had it that she sent it so we can share that with the rest of the board. The letter that she sent to Cuomo

469
01:45:53.160 --> 01:46:01.830
Anthony White: Basically we frame the conversation or I tried to frame the conversation with her around three questions one about financing schools going forward.

470
01:46:02.280 --> 01:46:13.140
Anthony White: I'm ensuring that we are not going to be losing money in future years. What is the sentence plan has it come up for discussion about financing of education.

471
01:46:13.530 --> 01:46:28.680
Anthony White: On Meredith insinuated law earlier and she disclosed that I did kind of stay if you don't spend the money on education. Now we're going to be spending money later on to her really talks about possible ways of reallocating to arm.

472
01:46:29.760 --> 01:46:30.960
Anthony White: To have to

473
01:46:32.880 --> 01:46:41.430
Anthony White: To educate just reallocating from other budget areas and the state as well as the billionaires a tax arm.

474
01:46:42.030 --> 01:46:50.940
Anthony White: And then we also talked about is there a possible reentry plan that the state has come up with and how it would be grateful if they gave guidance sooner rather than later about the

475
01:46:51.540 --> 01:47:01.620
Anthony White: Issues that we're going to have to take into consideration, whether it's going to be a blended arm education with in person and our remote learning

476
01:47:03.390 --> 01:47:10.350
Anthony White: Some, some background. I'm sorry. Can you just mute your phone piece, I think it was from that arm.

477
01:47:11.730 --> 01:47:20.880
Anthony White: So she seemed receptive arm she did tell us that she would put us in contact or I asked her to put us in contact with Shelley.

478
01:47:21.630 --> 01:47:29.280
Anthony White: What was Shelly Air Arm, who is the senate education chairperson. Um, so we're going to reach out to her.

479
01:47:29.820 --> 01:47:32.670
Anthony White: Or I'm going to reach out to her to see if we could get in contact

480
01:47:33.060 --> 01:47:42.000
Anthony White: I did offer my services to get on the committee with the governor on to reimagine education saying that I have really three different perspectives, a board member perspective.

481
01:47:42.330 --> 01:47:57.810
Anthony White: An administrative perspective and a father of three. Um, and so I said if she could tell us any way around that would be great. I thought it would be good for local districts. If they had local representation for that piece. So she seemed like she listened

482
01:47:59.070 --> 01:48:06.030
Anthony White: And it was. I thought a good conversation. I think that we got a little out of it. I was happy to hear that she responded to set up a

483
01:48:06.420 --> 01:48:15.630
Anthony White: conference call based on a response to a letter that we sent to her with concerns. Um, I just think that the elected officials as she insinuated during the

484
01:48:16.410 --> 01:48:25.320
Anthony White: Conversation. She was a they're very inundated with the unemployment piece right now and it seems to be a priority that we're dealing with right now. Um, so

485
01:48:26.910 --> 01:48:30.180
Anthony White: So that was basically the nuts and bolts of the conversation.

486
01:48:30.810 --> 01:48:41.430
meredithheuer: And I had one thing. Yeah. And she did say, you know, in general, I think she she seemed to be aware of the challenges we face. She did see say that she

487
01:48:42.660 --> 01:48:48.510
meredithheuer: Would be afraid to support the billionaire's tax because she was afraid that the billionaires girl move away.

488
01:48:51.240 --> 01:48:52.230
meredithheuer: That was kind of the only

489
01:48:53.460 --> 01:48:54.840
meredithheuer: Concrete comment you made about

490
01:48:57.510 --> 01:48:58.590
Anthony White: The other questions for me.

491
01:49:00.540 --> 01:49:11.070
18457633727: And today's Craig comments. I think this is a very interesting development we Alyssa did a response back to us from Mr. Serrano

492
01:49:12.150 --> 01:49:20.070
18457633727: It shows this he's paying some attention to the advocacy efforts that come out of this board so we could be glad for that.

493
01:49:20.820 --> 01:49:22.200
Anthony White: No, absolutely. I agree. Craig.

494
01:49:25.740 --> 01:49:29.610
Anthony White: All right, moving right along. We're going to go to the consent agenda.

495
01:49:30.090 --> 01:49:37.680
Anthony White: The use of the Consent Agenda permissive Board of Education make more effective use of its time by adopting a single motion cover those relatively routine matters which are included.

496
01:49:38.040 --> 01:49:46.530
Anthony White: Any member of the board who wishes to discuss individually particular piece of business and the consent agenda Mesa indicate and the item will be considered in and vote on separately.

497
01:49:46.890 --> 01:49:52.770
Anthony White: Just preserving the right of all board members be heard on any issue. Is there anything on the consent agenda a board member would like polled

498
01:49:57.930 --> 01:50:07.980
Anthony White: Hearing none, I need a motion to approve 8.1 through eight point 11

499
01:50:09.750 --> 01:50:10.200
Anthony White: Second,

500
01:50:13.530 --> 01:50:13.800
Anthony White: All right.

501
01:50:15.480 --> 01:50:22.830
Anthony White: Just because it's so hard. I'm going to ask. I'll call each one. If that's okay, or do you just want to do vote at once on favor

502
01:50:24.690 --> 01:50:25.320
meredithheuer: I

503
01:50:25.710 --> 01:50:26.880

Anthony White: Motion carried. Nine. Oh.

507
01:50:35.700 --> 01:50:44.460
Anthony White: Alright. I do need a motion to adjourn to executive session to review the employment history of a particular individual. The board is not expected to take action after Executive Session.

508
01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:45.600
Kristan Flynn: So moved.

509
01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:47.010

510
01:50:49.170 --> 01:50:51.450
Anthony White: All right. All those in favor,

Matt Landahl: Yeah, I'm in it.

517
01:51:13.530 --> 01:51:20.490

518
01:51:20.910 --> 01:51:21.540
Anthony White: Alright, sounds good.
