President's Report

1.1.1

President Tipp reported that the School Board Resolution regarding No. A10722-A/S7722-A, a bill that would require Committees on Special Education to take a student's home life and cultural environment into account when making special education placements, was vetoed by Governor Cuomo as a broad-based bill difficult to manage. This could have taken funds away from all students.

1.1.2

President Tipp also reported on another onerous piece of last minute legislation passed and sent to Governor Cuomo for approval. School Board Resolution on Bill No. A.8291-A/S.5771-A, that would grant tenure status seniority rights for hiring employees in the non-competitive class.

Alyson Kiesel moved to approve the following resolution. Karen Visser seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

WHEREAS, during the final days of the legislative session, a bill (A.8291-A/S.5771-A) passed the legislature which would grant tenure status seniority rights to non-competitive and labor classes when there are school layoffs as well as when districts are able to rehire laid-off employees.

And WHEREAS, this bill ties the hands of school districts in making appropriate personnel decisions that best meet the educational needs of its students.

And WHEREAS, school districts need flexibility to efficiently manage their operations with limited resources.

And WHEREAS, this legislation undermines the collective bargaining process by uniformly giving unions a significant benefit without school districts receiving anything in return that could improve educational programs and services for children.

And WHEREAS, this legislation imposes an onerous mandate on school districts in direct contravention of efforts by the Mandate Relief Council to reduce state unfunded mandates on school districts.

Therefore, be it RESOLVED that the Chappaqua Central School District Board of Education calls on Governor Andrew Cuomo to veto this onerous and inappropriate legislation.

1.2

Superintendent's Report

Superintendent McKay reported on the following items:

1.2.1

Summer Work - She visited the schools and remarked on the cleaning, paving the parking lot at Bell, boilers at all three elementary schools, and the overall state of readiness at the schools. Staff has done a wonderful job preparing for students. Eric Byrne commented on the number of assessments that have been designed and the work teachers and staff developers have engaged in to study implementation and the final analysis of the assessments.

1.2.2

CSF grant for feasibility study for Greeley Learning Commons - Dr. McKay introduced Allison Wintner, President of the Chappaqua School Foundation. Allison outlined the grant process and noted that the community was interested in funding long term grants. Although it was difficult to identify a large project that would meet all the criteria, the Greeley Learning Commons focuses on the adjoining spaces of the cafeteria, library, and open commons. After a rigorous process of requesting proposals, they recommend Studios, Inc who have a special ability to analyze needs of various groups, and determine flexible use of collaborative space. CSF will provide the $83,000 funding necessary for the proposed feasibility study and recommends the board accept the grant and the contract with Studios, Inc.

President Tipp thanked Ms. Wintner and stated that it is difficult to stay within our mission and this may be a way of maximizing our limited resources to stay ahead of the curve to remain relevant. We look forward to seeing where a feasibility study will take us. Board members were enthusiastic in their responses for the proposal. Dr. McKay added her approval and noted that Dr. Chris DeDe, Harvard professor who continues his work with our staff and students on virtual learning was also enthusiastic and offered to assist with the project.

1.2.3

Personnel

Dr. McKay reported that she will be recommending Rhonda Pfeiffer for two days a week with primary responsible as CSE chair and AP coverage. Coverage will be completed by Karen Rizzo who now works three days.

She offered congratulations to Steve Young as the new Director of Physical Education at New Rochelle. Pete Kuczma will be the new Physical Education Director for the year.

1.2.4

Opening Day for Staff

Dr. McKay reported that Dr. Sam Wang, Professor of Molecular Biology and Neuroscience, of Princeton University will be speaking to staff on opening day on the topic of building strong minds from pre-school through college.

1.2.5

Energy Performance Contract

John Chow announced that on July 18 we finally received approval from NYSED for phase II. Tonight the board wil be asked to approve the bidding request process for the various components. This process began in September 2008 and Johnson Controls won the bid for $10MM. The district will have $12MM of energy related renovation with no impact on budget. The cost will be zero to the district, because Johnson Controls will absorb whatever is not covered.

Questions and Comments -

We welcome public inquiries, and in respect for each other's time, we ask that you limit your inquiry to three minutes. Board members may be contacted via email or phone.
