EXCEL/CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATE

The Board received a copy of Minutes from the construction meetings held on June 18 and July 2, 2009.  Mr. Kilcoyne noted that the rubber portion of the roof is done and the metal work is nearly complete.  Asbestos work is done in Chemistry Lab and they are currently working in the elementary wing to remove asbestos ceiling tiles.  Air sampling needs to be performed in each room prior to the beginning of the actual removal process.  Once the tiles are removed, the air is sampled again to make sure that the cleanup is complete.  This work should be completed by mid-July.  Skelley Contractors are working to install the new heating unit ventilators.   They are currently in discussions with Dick Paugh regarding the proper backing to use and are contemplating the use of plywood and insulation at an additional cost of approximately $3,000.  After they removed the old units, they felt that plywood should be used as a backing for the wallboard as they felt they would be able to fasten the units more securely to the plywood.  Additional ceiling ventilation is also being added to several areas of the building and some plumbing work is underway at this time. 

The Chemistry Room and the Math room below still have asbestos floor tile.  The asbestos tiles in the other classrooms on the first floor of the 34 building (i.e. the English room, computer room, and other math room) as well as the other science room and two social studies rooms located on the second floor, were encapsulated in the mid-90’s with a layer of luan installed followed by new floor tile. 

While Optec is already on site, Mr. Kilcoyne suggested that the Board consider having them remove the asbestos floor tiles in the Chemistry Lab as well as room 224, a Math room located on the first floor, install a layer of luan over the old hardwood floors, and then re-tile the classrooms.  At the current time we have approximately $100,000 in contingency funds available and the roofing portion of the project is nearly complete at this time. 

W. Witherell arrived at 7:45 P.M.

To remove tiles in those rooms as well as some strips of asbestos tile in the cafeteria that was discovered under the old heating units by the windows they estimate the cost to be approximately $14,000. 

To install new tiles, they estimate we would need to purchase 1,750 square feet of luan, 1,750 square feet of tile, 1,750 square feet of adhesive, and 270 linear feet of vinyl base at a cost of roughly $17,000.  The approximate total for removal and replacement would be $32,000. 

Motion made by F. Wilhelm and seconded by T. Zellweger to authorize Mr. Kilcoyne to move forward on a Change Order of up to $35,000 to: 1) remove asbestos floor tiles located in Chemistry Room 304, Math Room 227, and Cafeteria (under heating units); and 2) install luan sub-flooring and new tile flooring.  Final Change Order to be presented at a future Board Meeting.  6 in favor, 0 opposed, Carried.

No. 2010-011

Mr. Saiff also gave the Board some preliminary information regarding seventh and eighth grade state assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies and mentioned that the Performance Index for the various exams ranged from 171 to 197 out of a possible 200.

No. 2010-013

Based upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, Motion made by J. Young and seconded by H.

CSE/CPSE ANNUAL RPT.

P. Claus reviewed the Annual Report of CSE/CPSE Activities which covers CPSE, CSE, and 504 students.  The CSE/CPSE committees make many decisions on behalf of the students.  We had two parent representatives who served on the committee this year.  P. Claus noted that parent representatives can be especially helpful to parents who are just becoming involved with the CSE/CPSE process. 

P. Claus stated that the report also included a list of the services that were provided as well as services that are being recommended for the coming year. The number of students receiving services appears to be relatively unchanged. P. Claus also noted grant funding that she had applied for to offset costs associated with the programs and services needed.

P. Claus thanked Mary Kay Hafer and Darin Saiff for their continued commitment to the CSE and the students and families they service.  P. Claus also thanked Geri Lynn Wilson, Barb Remington, Mary Taylor, Kristen Wallace, Michelle Murray, our regular education staff and related service providers for their efforts to keep up with all of the paperwork involved with the CSE/CPSE. 

Mr. Kilcoyne informed the Board that this year’s deadline for grant submission was moved from August to the end of June, so P. Claus had to really scramble to meet the deadline while also coordinating the typical end-of-year activities.  The Board of Education thanked P. Claus for her efforts on behalf of the District and students as well as her oversight of the programs and services provided. 

Motion made by T. Zellweger and seconded by F. Wilhelm to approve the Annual Report of the CSE/CPSE Activities as presented.  7 in favor, 0 opposed, Carried.

PRINCIPALS’ UPDATES

P. Claus announced that our 6^th grade and Kindergarten graduations went very well and so did our closing, with teachers working hard to pack up their classrooms in preparation for the summer construction work in addition to completing their normal year-end tasks. 

The UPK grant for 2009-10 has been submitted.  This grant, totaling $84,451 is for 19 students.  Our UPK program evaluation is due at the end of the month and reflects the positive gains our students made throughout the year on each of the program indicators for Social Adjustment, Listening and Speaking, academics, small motor skills, and gross motor development.   Our special education grants (611 and 619) were submitted by June 30^th and included four budgets to address both regular Special Education allocations and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds totaling over $170,000.  P. Claus also noted that she had worked with Roberta Stillin-Dowman from BOCES last week on our Title Grants. 

On Thursday our student support team will be meeting to begin to formally write our Response to Intervention (RtI) plan.  Roberta Stillin-Dowman will be here to help us coordinate the plan with our AIS efforts.  

Both our Books at the Beach and Summer Special Education Programs have gotten off to a great start.  Let’s hope the weather improves for our beach students. 

P. Claus also informed the Board of the recent changes in NYS testing dates.  Previously students in grades 3-8 took Math assessments in March and ELA assessments in May.  Beginning with the 2009-2010 school year, all of these assessments will be administered during the Month of May.  In addition, teachers customarily conduct field-testing during January and March and now they may also be scheduled for May.  The grade 4 Science Program Evaluation is also scheduled for May.  Unfortunately, with these changes in testing, May is going to be a very stressful month this coming year. It will be a challenge to get students focused and keep them focused.  It will also be difficult to find enough substitute teachers to cover classrooms while teachers are grading exams which have a short turn-around time.

D. Saiff announced that high school graduation was held on Saturaday, June 27^th.  Mr. Cannamela was the keynote speaker this year.  D. Saiff expressed his appreciation to Stacie Richardson for the countless hours she devotes to organizing graduation each year.  D. Saiff also thanked Mr. Cannamela and members of the Senior Band. 

The summer Drivers’ Education Program is well underway and the half-way point will be this Friday.  Twenty students are participating in the program.

D. Saiff noted that we still have extra-curricular and coaching vacancies to fill for the 2009-10 school year including honor society, boys’ modified basketball, boys’ JV basketball, and girls’ modified basketball. 

We have approximately twelve students attending regional summer school classes in Canton this year.

STATE AUDIT UPDATE

Mr. Kilcoyne and C. LaSala reviewed the draft state audit report covering the period July 1, 2007, through February 28, 2009.  Only three recommendations to improve existing internal controls over payroll and our computerized financial application systems were made.  C. LaSala noted that new procedures addressing these recommendations were put into effect on August 1, 2009.

EXCEL/CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATE

The Board received construction minutes from meetings on July 16^th and July 30^th, 2009.  Mr. Kilcoyne informed the Board that it was going to be close preparing some classrooms in time for school; however, the major portions of the work regarding fresh air exchanges, ceiling tile replacement, etc cetera, will be competed before the beginning of school.  In some places where they are going from one floor to another, they have to build chases, sheet rock, mud, and paint before school starts.  That means that cleaners have not been able to complete a thorough cleaning of some areas.  The kitchen freezer compressors are being installed on the roof and piping is being completed this week.  The contractors hope to have at least one freezer up and running by the end of the week, with the second freezer and walk-in cooler functioning by the end of next week. 

The breaching (piping that runs from the two boilers and into the chimney) is constructed of insulated double-walled stainless steel.  The old breaching was made of 16” diameter material, but the new breaching calls for 20” diameter because the two new hot water heaters will have to be piped into the chimney in addition to the boilers.  If the work is unable to be completed before the beginning of school, then the contractor will need to temporarily reconnect one of the domestic hot water heaters into the chimney.

We were just informed this past week that our lead architect, Dick Paugh, is taking a leave of absence from King and King.  Phil Squadrito will be replacing Dick for the remainder of the project.

The old flooring has been removed in Math room 227 and the Chemistry Lab.  Contractors showed up today to begin prep work to lay new flooring in both rooms.  In room 227, Op Tech neglected to remove the quarter round and the tile underneath it, so Gene Groebler contacted them to tell them they still had work remaining.  They were back in today and hopefully will complete the required work by the end of the week.

Staff development day workshops will include faculty updates, a Read Naturally Program review, IEP updates, student scheduling for Title I Math and Reading Groups, Extra Curricular Activity Accounts Management, an introduction to the Web-2-School student guardian module for grades 7-12 and grade reporting, our annual Right to Know workshop, 7^th grade orientation, Fountas and Pinnell, and AIS/RtI sessions.  Several staff members will be assisting with these presentations including Mary Taylor, Kristin Wallace, Michelle Murray, Scott Lalonde, Farren Hart, Judy Stevens, Barb Remington, Amy Wilkes, and Melissa Scudder.  In addition, guest presenters will include John Warneck and Roberta Stillin-Dowman.  The Agendas also allow for some time each day for staff to be able to work in classrooms.

P. Claus also informed the Board that the school would be purchasing some information on Bullying thanks to funds obtained through the Safe Schools Program.  The materials give a nice overview of the difference between conflicts between students and bullying and provide a variety of activities for discussion and implementation.  Teachers will be encouraged to include these activities in their classrooms.   

D. Saiff thanked Mr. Bourdage for his 32 years of service to PHCS as a driver’s education instructor.  Mr. Bourdage notified us that he would be retiring at the conclusion of the summer session after teaching driver education for a total of 39 years, and we wish him well.  Twenty students were enrolled in drivers’ education this summer and all passed. 

Seventeen students attended summer school this year and they were enrolled in a total of 25 classes, of which 19 received passing grades.  D. Saiff noted that 12 of the 25 classes taken involved a Regents exam.  Unfortunately, scores were not as high as we had hoped, with only 4 receiving grades above 65.  Six other scores fell within the safety net, and 2 exams received a failing grade.  In addition, three students signed to take a Regents exam only without attending summer school classes and all three were unsuccessful.  

Melissa Scudder will need to check each student’s transcript very carefully over the next couple of years to make sure students do not have more Regents scores within the safety net than they are allowed, especially as the safety net is phased out. 

D. Saiff informed the Board that Varsity and JV soccer practices began today and Modified practice will begin next week.  As it stands right now, the Class D JV program has a very limited number of games scheduled.  The boys have 12 games and the girls have 9.  Madrid-Waddington, Parishville-Hopkinton, and Chateaugay are all experiencing the same circumstances as many schools have gone to two teams, Modified and Varsity. 

Four 7^th and 8^th grade girls participated in the Selection Classification process and achieved Varsity level; therefore they qualify to move up to either the JV or Varsity level of play.  D. Saiff also noted that two positions remain open for coaching boys’ and girls’ modified basketball.

INFORMATION

The Board received updated Board Member contact information, a copy of correspondence regarding a student matter, the 2009 Summer Driver Education Final Report, notification from the State of New York that our application for an efficiency grant for a possible shared bus garage facility with Colton-Pierrepont Central School was denied, and year-end reports for the St. Lawrence-Lewis Counties School District Employees Workers’ Compensation Plan and Medical Plan.  The Board also received a NYSSBA Advocacy Alert regarding bills and reforms passed by the Senate, a Memorandum of Agreement between the District and Liberty Partnerships Program at SUNY Canton, and a list of upcoming events of interest within the school district.

EXCEL/CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATE

The Board received construction minutes from meetings on August 18^th and 27^th, 2009.  Mr. Kilcoyne informed the Board that we are in the final throes of the project.  Oftentimes it is the last 5-10% of a project that drags out, and we are dealing with some of those issues right now.  The compressors have been moved to the rooftop over the instrumental music room; however, they are quite noisy, so the contractors now have to order noise isolators to be installed on the units in an effort to absorb the vibration noise. 

Work to add transformers on the unit ventilators and thereby reduce the voltage to each unit will begin shortly.  Once they are installed, the units will bring in fresh air during the warmer weather and heat to the room during the winter.

The new double-walled liner for the chimney has been installed.  Some of the measurements for the breaching were incorrect, so the contractors had to refigure and order a new piece which hopefully will be constructed and on site within two weeks.  In the meantime, we have one of the new domestic hot water heaters piped into the chimney to provide hot water on a temporary basis, however we currently do not have the capacity to heat the building. 

Mr. Kilcoyne also noted that he has written a letter to the main contractor requesting some sort of monetary credit for all of the clean-up that our staff have had to take care of during the entire scope of this project and we are still waiting for a response to our request.

No. 2010-048

F. Wilhelm will serve on the Elementary School Principal’s search committee.  After the initial interviews on Wednesday for the High School vacancy, Mr. Kilcoyne noted that the committee hoped to have one or two candidates to recommend to the Board for a second interview, possibly to take place next Monday, September 28^th, beginning at 7:00 P.M.  Once initial interviews for the Elementary Principal have been conducted, the Board will need to schedule a second special meeting to interview the finalist(s), most likely on Monday, October 5.

PRINCIPALS’ UPDATES

P. Claus noted that students in grades K-6 have been completing Fountas & Pinnell and Diebels assessments as part of their first benchmark for Reading these past three weeks.  We hope to use these results to identify students requiring strategic and intensive remediation and progress monitoring using research-based teaching strategies and materials, all part of our on-going RtI (Response to Intervention) process. 

P. Claus met with students in grades 1-6 to review the 2009-10 student handbook and Code of Conduct on September 9^th.  Later that same day students completed their first bus drill of the year and P. Claus acknowledged the efforts of all of our drivers who did an excellent job going over emergency procedures with the students assigned to their routes. 

Elementary Open House was very well attended again this year.  Several teachers took individual time slots to review their programs with parents while others chose to meet with parents all through the evening as they visited individual classrooms.  Special area staff reported lots of visitors and we had an excellent crowd at our Title I parent meeting hosted by Therese Baxter and Judy Stevens.  A second grade scavenger hunt for students and parents, as well as Mrs. Hazelton’s and Mrs. Emlaw’s great cookies, kept people moving from room to room.  Demonstrations of the SMART Boards and Elmos were also very well received. 

The district is very fortunate to have received a First Books Grant again this year which provides new books for our monthly Story Time events.  Twenty-five children and their parents attended our first Story Time for Tots event.  

P. Claus announced that this Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. is the first PTSA meeting for the year.  An informative display was set up for Open House and there appeared to be a lot of interest. 

Third, fourth, and multi-age 3/4 students, with parent permission, will receive new bike helmets on September 28^th and 29^th, courtesy of the St. Lawrence Traffic Safety Program.  Students will be properly fitted by  Mary Davison  with

assistance from Physical Education Teachers Liz White and Tony Engstrom and teaching assistants during their regularly scheduled P.E. class time as part of their safety unit. 

Students are busy preparing presentations for our special Grandparents’ Day program on October 9^th.  Picture Day for all students in grades UPK-12 is scheduled for October 6^th.   

Our multi-age 5/6 and Grades 5 and 6 students climbed Mt. Jenkins last Thursday and most made it to the top!  Everyone had a great time and the fieldtrip coincides with the 5/6 Adirondack theme.  Some really special events are planned for Lake Placid this year as well and an author/storyteller is scheduled to visit the class in December. 

We are very fortunate as a district to once again receive the free services of the St. Lawrence Dental Sealant Program.  Last year they applied over 100 sealants and they provide parents with results from their child’s dental check-up each year.

D. Saiff informed the Board that Sergeant Mike Trimboli of the New York State Police was in attendance at a recent meeting of School Superintendents to notify schools that their aerial unit will be taking some low hover photos and a site visit to each school in an effort to collect tactical data on each building. 

D. Saiff acknowledged Melissa Scudder and Ed Lyon for taking students to Colton-Pierrepont for the SUNY Road Show.  D. Saiff also thanked Ann White who recently took her Chemistry students to Canton-Potsdam Hospital to gain a better understanding of the many job opportunities available for people with a strong science and mathematics education.  D. Saiff also mentioned the excellent overnight trips that Mike Walter plans for his Backyard Geology Class and how beneficial these types of activities are to students, not only as a means of putting into practice what they have learned in class, but also sparking interest and enthusiasm in more in-depth study.   

D. Saiff noted that he was in the process of compiling the VADIR (Violent and Disruptive Incidents Report) which is due for submission on September 30^th.   

D. Saiff also mentioned several upcoming events including student picture day for grades UPK-12 which is scheduled for October 6th, BEDS day on October 7^th, and the Junior-Senior High School Open House on October 8^th from 2:30-3:30 P.M. and from 6:30-8:30 P.M.  The new Web-2-School server is running, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Lalonde and Mr. Cannamela.  They are working out any bugs in the student/guardian module so that we will be able to provide parents with access to Web-2-School to review information relative to their child/children. 

Mr. Kilcoyne also informed the Board that we have already applied for stimulus funds and have received approval to go to the next step. We are hoping to use these funds to pay a percentage of three positions and to purchase two DELL mobile carts containing 24 lap tops each for classroom use, approximately 10 additional SMART boards as well as training costs, and upgrade the computers in two of our labs, the CAD lab so they can learn 3-D design, and one other lab. Both labs will be outfitted with desktop units rather than laptops.

INFORMATION

The Board received the monthly Wincap User Security Profile Change Report from Carol LaSala, a summary of the Summer 2009 Books at the Beach Program, information regarding charter schools and privately managed schools, minutes from the St. Lawrence-Lewis Counties School District Employees Health Insurance and Workers’ Compensation quarterly meetings, and a list of upcoming events of interest within the school district.
