Superintendent’s Reports:

Superintendent Miller had the following update for the Board:

1.     The district is in the process of hiring approximately 8 instructional employees.  We will be conducting interviews throughout the month of July and will likely need a meeting in early August to appoint new staff members.

2.     There is no new guidance on reopening schools in September and we must plan to open under current guidelines.  If less stringent guidelines emerge we must still be prepared to operate under more strict guidelines imposed by SED or DOH because of a resurgence of the COVID virus.  At this time the level of transmission in Herkimer County is in the lowest category as measured by the CDC.  This means that we can operate our high school and middle school classes without cohorts under current guidelines.  An early August meeting of the board could serve to allow the board to review reopening planning in our schools.  There were guidelines released today for summer programs, but they are based on previously released guidelines for schools and summer camps.

3.     The recent Supreme Court decision regarding disciplining students for off campus speech on social media has brought into question the ability of the school to combat Cyber bullying under DASA. I have shared a memo with you from school counsel which outlines some of the legal concerns.  I would expect guidance from SED and Albany on how this decision impacts DASA and we may need to adjust our school code of conduct.

4.     We have received lease proposals from the vendor for the fitness equipment.  The lease proposals are lease to own agreements with a $1 buyout clause which our bond counsel said was problematic when used them for purchases of other equipment.  Some schools use this to spread the cost over five years.   My current recommendation will still be to purchase the equipment with capital project funds and then look to use equipment funds on a five-year time frame to trade the aerobic equipment in and update as necessary.  I will review the options with the building committee, and we will update the board on the final decision. I will have a more precise update about summer project work at the early August BOE meeting.

5.     Our discussions around board retreats for 2021-22 came to a consensus to recommend that we have our retreats structured to happen in the form of workshops immediately preceding the regular board meeting each month.   The workshops will begin at 5:30 PM with the regular meeting beginning at 6:30 PM.  I attached a draft list of topics we propose for the workshop meetings.  In August we would begin with a business office reports overview.

6.      I want to thank and commend the faculty, staff and administration involved carrying out culminating year end events successfully.  Graduation at our athletic fields in East Herkimer was well received and the building and grounds crew did an excellent job with the fields.

Administrative Reports:

Ms. Tomaso gave a verbal update for the high school as well as the middle school on Mr. Abbe’s behalf as he was unable to attend the meeting, Ms. Vogt gave a verbal update for the elementary school and Ms. Paragi’s report was reviewed with the BOE. Brief discussions followed for each report.
