(16652610-506-66) PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Mr. Greg Branum, concerned citizen, read a letter from a group called the "Campaign for a New Broome" of which he is a member. The letter was addressed to Mary Cahill. It referred to the low graduation rate for African American students and the high school being on the needs improvement list. Mr. Branum expressed his concern that the high school is in a state of "crisis" and that the Campaign for a New Broome would take whatever steps were necessary to address this issue with the high school and the community. Mr. Branum said that he has spoken with stakeholders in the community are also concerned about the low graduation rate for African American students and described their reactions as being "dumbfounded". He said that the letter "speaks for itself" and that something needs to be done about the "crisis" now. SPECIAL REPORTS A. Independent Audit Report by Vieira & Skiadas. Mr. Skiadas summarized the earnings and spendings from the previous school year (2004-2005) and that the district is in compliance with the law. He further indicated that the district is running "lean" as it pertains to the general fund balance reserves, but encouraged the board by saying that administration has already come up with some long-term strategies to build up the general fund over the next 3-5 years. Mr. Skiadas made little reference to the new accounting laws, but pointed out some recommendations for savings in their management letter. In conclusion, Mr. Skiadas indicated that there had been some instances of purchases being made without encumbering the funds through a purchase order and that most of these purchases were not being reimbursed by the district. Mr. O'Connell, Board Member, asked about the unanticipated fund monies for BOCES. President Whalen asked if other districts were experiencing the same crunch as Binghamton to which Mr. Skiadas indicated that, although other districts are dealing with the same issues pertaining to their fund balances, Binghamton is not struggling under the food budget like other districts. 127 Continued . . . B. Middle Years Program report by Michael O'Branski and Tracy Caezza. Mr. O'Branski described the program and talked positively about the transformation of classes and instruction at East Middle since implementing the Middle Years IB Program. Mrs. Caezza showed a brief powerpoint presentation which defined the features in the areas of interaction. She also indicated that this program does align to the NYS standards and described several ways that this program transcends traditional curriculum and instruction. Mr. O'Connell, Board Member, asked if West Middle would have the same opportunity to implement this program to which Mrs. Cahill indicated that it would have the same opportunity, pending finding a source of funding. Mr. O'Branski dscribed the training that the staff has, and will be, participating in and discussed the progress that East Middle has made since implementing this program. C. Legislative Update by Joan Purtell. Vice President Purtell indicated that she intends to meet with the Commissioner about the cost of testing and scoring associated with the new requirements to administer tests to students in grades 3-8. She also talked about President Bush's proposal to give "vouchers" to school districts that are hosting hurricane victims. She indicated that these vouchers, if approved, should not be used to help private schools who accept tuition for their students because these are federal funds. Mrs. Purtell expressed an interest in going through the "Fast Forward" program being offered in Albany. The course is designed to improve your memory. If she goes, she will report her findings to the board. D. Proposed ByLaw Amendments and Resolutions. Mr. Hawley, Board Member, will be attending the annual New York State School Boards Association convention in Rochester and will vote on the proposed bylaw amendments and resolutions. The board reviewed each resolution and amendment, and gave Mr. Hawley direction on how to vote at the convention. BOARD INFORMATION Noted. President Whalen directed the board's attention to the correspondence from John Paske's office regarding fiscal accountability workshops being offered locally in January of 2006. These workshops will fulfill the financial training requirements for new school board members, as well as those board members who are up for, and considering, reelection in May 2006. LEGAL None. Mr. Whalen indicated that there were some important changes in the requirements pertaining to student board members. First, the student board member does not have to be 18 years of age and, second, it does not have to be the student body class president. He asked if the current student class president was interested in coming to the board meetings, despite a hectic school schedule to which Mrs. Brown, District Clerk, indicated to the board that Dr. Penna, Principal at BHS, had agreed to help coordinate a meeting between her and the student class president. The purpose of the meeting is so that Mrs. Brown can make the student feel welcome, understand her role at the meetings, and answer any questions she has about board meeting procedures. 128 AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING A. Attendance and discipline efforts at the high school. (November or December) The Board would like to hear reports on a quarterly basis. B. Federal Aid programs and an explanation about unspent funds. C. Strategies to build up General Fund balance. D. Update on formation of the audit committee. E. Update on the issue of mats for cheerleaders. Mr. O'Connell, Board Member, indicated his concerns regarding students crossing at the corner of Oak and Main Streets because the property on the corner that was sold by the City will be undergoing some reconstruction. He is conerned that all that activity on the corner will be distracting to motorists and create additional hazards for students crossing the street. In response, President Whalen recommended that someone from Central Office contact the Police Department and/or the mayor's office to request assistance from the local police. He also referred to a recent traffic study that was done on the number of vehicles that pass through that intersection on a daily basis, that there is more activity in this area than in any other part of the city on any given week day. He indicated that the traffic study supports the need to have that area controlled by the Binghamton City Police Department. There was also some discussion about the safety of students who do not cross in the designated cross walk and how the dangers are increased at the end of the day when the buses are loading passengers and students are crossing in between the buses.

LINDA LAYTON - Stafking Mrs. Carol Oestrich, retiree, addressed the board regarding the lack of notice to staff/retirees about the date of flu shots being changed. She suggested the district use the media as an outlet to get messages out and stated that flu shots help keep staff / retirees healthy and this should be welcomed by the district since these people are covered under the district's health insurance. Mr. O'Connell, Member, agreed that using the media would be a valuable resource. Mr. Garbarino, Director of Health and Athletics, asked if the original notice was sent out with the insurance bills to retirees and was told that it was. However, the date changed with less than 24 hour's notice given to the district, therefore, the only recourse would have been to use the media. Mrs. Gretz, Director of Personnel, said the district will use the media as a resource should this happen again. Mrs. Oestrich also addressed her concerns about lowering the temperature in the buildings and reducing the lighting. She referred to the safety and health of the students, staff and community who use the district school buildings. Some of her specific concerns were about reducing the temperature in the buildings (dampness, students wearing bulky jackets being a safety issue, varying temperatures) and reducing the lighting (safety issue on staircases, hard for students with eye problems, including senior citizens attending special events). Mr. Scott Wade, PTA Council President, discussed a phone call he received from an upset parent of a student at the high school who's child was "frisked" and "groped" during a security check. There was some discussion about whether it was a random bag check or whether every student was checked. Mr. Deinhardt will look into this right away and asked Mr. Scott to forward the parent's information to him so that her concerns could be addressed through administration. President Whalen welcomed student board member, Kathryn Cavanaugh, to the meeting. SPECIAL REPORTS A. Budget Update by Steve Deinhardt. Mr. Deinhardt outlined the initiatives that have been put into action to reduce expenses and increase savings for the 05-06 school year, including: ---Implementing expenditure freeze ---Verifying grant expenditures related to salary coded correctly ---Building appropriate increase in health services and tuition billing ---Building appropriate increases in all district building rentals ---Reduction of the lighting, lowering temperatures, removing personal appliances ---Not paying for diesel fuel when buses are not occupied ---Modifying winter athletic trips; planning same for this Spring. B. Grant Funding by Mary Cahill. Mrs. Cahill referred to a memo that went out in the board packet which outlined the federal grants received, what the funds were used for and why some of the larger grants still had funds remaining. She advised the board that the Central Business Office had suggested hiring a grant coordinator who would write the grants, track expenses, file applications and make sure that the monies were spent. President Whalen asked what qualifications this individual would have and how the grant coordinator would be paid to which Mrs. Cahill replied that, although the qualifications - whether administrative or civil service - were still unclear at this point, but that the salary would be paid for out of a grant, that the addition of a grant coordinator would in no way touch the district's fund balance. Mr. O'Connell, Member, cautioned that some grant coordinators negotiate their salary to be a percentage of whatever grant money is received. Mrs. Cahill shared her feelings that a district as large as Binghamton and with as many grants as Binghamton receives really needs someone dedicated to managing the entire grant process from application to modifications to monitoring expenses and making sure the monies are spent appropriately. President Whalen agreed that the person should have that combination of skill in order to manage the grants process. C. Audit Committee by Brian Whalen. This report was tabled until the next meeting so that further research could be done. President Whalen did say that he, Mr. Hawley and Mr. O'Connell will sit on the audit committee and requested Mr. Deinhardt find out the status of the Request For Proposal (RFP) process from Mr. Harvey, Controller. D. Cheerleading Mats by David Garbarino. Mr. Garbarino, Director of Health and Athletics provided the history on the topic of cheerleading mats, the course it has taken since becoming an issue, and what it means to the Binghamton City School District. He discussed safety being the coaches top priority, how mats are used during practice, that coaches attend safety clinics before each season begins so that they learn the proper techniques for each stunt. He noted that both coaches are 10 year veterans and that there have been no injuries in competition for the past nine years. 144 SPECIAL REPORTS Continued . . . Mr. Garbarino outlined the dimensions of the mats, the cost of purchasing them and storing them. He indicated that the cheerleaders would ultimately end up being responsible for putting the mats together and taking them apart and that both actions take a considerable amount of time (that it took Union Endicott cheerleaders 45 minutes to set up their mats). He also pointed out that, with the size and weight of each mat, there's more likelihood of someone getting hurt during the set up and removal processes to which President Whalen agreed. When Mr. Hawley asked if the routines would change depending on whether they use the mats or not use the mats, Mr. Garbarino explained that requiring cheerleaders to use the mats during competition would dramatically change what the athletes can and cannot do, that all they would be able to do is dance routines, no stunts, and that the program would lose athletes if these changes are made. Mr. O'Connell, Member, said that its probably more likely that the "catchers" would get hurt, rather than the person being "tossed" to which Mr. Garbarino agreed. Mr. Deinhardt further mentioned that, in Binghamton, cheerleading is treated as a sport and the participants are treated as athletes. He said that the coaches take extraordinary efforts to ensure the safety of the cheerleaders during practice and in competition, that the coaches possess the knowledge and skills necessary to manage the sport safely. He also said that he gets more concerned about serious injuries when he sees a cheerleader crossing the hard wood floor doing sommersaults. Vice President Purtell asked who brings out the mats for the wrestling team and Mr. Garbarino said that the wrestlers do. The issue, Mr. Deinhardt, said could ultimately come down to a decision by the superintendent in each district unless STAC makes mats a requirement. Dr. Wozniak concluded the discussion on the mats by indicating that there are dangers all around us and agreed with Mr. Garbarino that there is no conclusive evidence, one way or the other, that using the mats will prevent all injuries. She will let the athletic professionals do their job and help make a determination if/when the time comes because, at some point in time, it could be out of the district's hands altogether and come down to STAC requirements. BOARD INFORMATION Noted. LEGAL None. AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING 1. Attendance Update. 2. Audit Committee Update (tabled from November 15, 2005) 3. Building Condition Survey. 4. Reconfiguration of Empire Zones. President Whalen asked that information be forwarded to the board in an upcoming board packet so that it could be reviewed prior to the December meeting. Mr. Hawley, Member, asked if the board could review the revisions to IDEA to determine if district policies needed to be updated as well. 145 Mr. O'Connell, Member, asked about safety at Horace Mann and referred to a bus that passes in front of the school around dismissal time. He wanted to know if the schedule for that particular bus could be routed to a different street so that it does not pass in front of Horace Mann, or if the time it passes could be adjusted by just a few minutes. Dr. Wozniak said that administration will research this and determine an appropriate resolution. EXECUTIVE SESSION At 8:22 p.m., a motion was made by Mr. O'Connell, seconded by Mr. Hawley and unanimously carried that the Board go back into Executive Session for the purpose of discussion of specific matters of employment of particular persons and current litigation or legal matters.

and WHEREAS, the Surgeon General has concluded that tobacco advertising contributes to youth smoking rates and an estimated 1/3 of adolescent experimentation with smoking can be directly attributed to tobacco advertising and promotional activities; and WHEREAS, in 2003, tobacco companies spent $15.1 billion to market cigarettes in the United States and these marketing expenditures tend to overwhelm and counteract efforts by school systems, government, and the medical community to decrease smoking rates, particularly when advertisements are displayed in educational and health care settings; and WHEREAS, in the fall of 2003, the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) and four tobacco companies (Philip Morris, RJ Reynolds (Reynolds America), US Smokeless Tobacco Company and Santa Fe Tobacco Company) reached an agreement to eliminate tobacco advertising in the classroom program versions of Time, Newsweek, US News, and World Report; and WHEREAS, teality Check surveyed 233 school libraries across New York and found that magazines carried in school libraries contained tobacco ads thus encouraging youth to begin smoking; and WHEREAS, school is a place where children and teenagers can learn and grow in a safe and secure environment; and WHEREAS, schools and school libraries should not be an outlet for the tobacco industry to target youth and find replacement smokers; and WHEREAS, in June of 2005, NAAG, tobacco companies, and magazine publishers reached an agreement that eliminates all tobacco advertisement in Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, People and Time going to schools including school libraries; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Education of the Binghamton City School District, Binghamton, New York, hereby expresses its opposition to tobacco advertisements in magazines in the school setting, including school libraries, and enthusiastically supports the tobacco advertisement free arrangement reached between NAAG, the tobacco companies, and the publishers of Newsweek, Time, Sports Illustrated, and People to eliminate tobacco advertising from editions of these four (4) magazines that are sent into school settings, including school libraries; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, because there are still many magazines in school libraries that contain tobacco advertisements, the Board of Education of the Binghamton City School District, Binghamton, New York, supports future efforts of Reality Check and the Attorney General to limit tobacco company access to youth by eliminating tobacco advertising in all editions of all magazines in schools; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, because Ebony, Essence, Jet, Outdoor Life, Field and Stream, and Popular Science are carried in so many school libraries, these magazines should be included in the tobacco advertisement free arrangement immediately. 162 05 - 12 - G 23 CHANGE REGULAR BOARD MEETING DATES JANUARY AND FEBRUARY Motion by Mrs. Schwartz, seconded by Mrs. Kammerman RESOLVED, upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, that the Regular Board of Education meeting scheduled for January 17, 2006, be and is hereby rescheduled to January 24, 2006, at its regularly scheduled time (7:00 p.m.), as it is in the best interests of the school district to do so; and PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR - Time Limited Mr. Walter Gillette, concerned citizen from the East side, told the board about his concerns over the use of the stadium for various events. He expressed his displeasure over the level of noise, traffic coming into that area, and the trash left on the ground after these events. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Regular Board of Education meeting scheduled for February 21, 2006, be and is hereby rescheduled to February 28, 2006, at its regularly scheduled time (7:00 p.m.), as it is in the best interests of the school district to do so. President Whalen thanked him for bringing his concerns to the attention of the board and expressed the district's desire to be courteous, responsible neighbors. Mr. O'Connell, board member, also stated that Binghamton currently has the only synthetic field which draws events to our facility, especially in the winter months. He further stated that other schools will build their own synthetic fields and then athletic events will be more easily "shared" among the other school districts. Mr. Deinhardt also indicated that the district tries to remain sensitive to residents by rotating the schedule as often as possible in an effort to cut down on the noise level and lighting of the stadium. SPECIAL REPORTS A. EMPIRE ZONE RECONFIGURATION. Margaret Scarinzi, Coordinator for the Broome County Empire Zones program, explained the program. She said that this program will offer tax abatement on a business's capital improvement project. This program was designed to spur development in distressed areas in Binghamton. She explained that this is a local benefit, that the program is precisely monitored, that business who are approved for this program must perform by creating jobs, increasing revenue and bringing in business to the City. Ms. Scarinzi explained how this would benefit the school district. She said the district would continue to receive school district taxes on the value of the property itself, but would not see any increase in taxes on the capital improvement value until the 8th year - after the abatement passes. She also indicated that, although the local level has the authority to oversee each business's operations, the state gave specific requirements on the reconfiguration of the Empire Zones - that the properties must be contiguous. Although the City of Binghamton will approve the reconfigured boundaries, the board of education was asked to approve a resolution regarding the 485e tax abatement. A public hearing will be noticed out. 163 Continued . . . B. ATTENDANCE UPDATE. Robert Darcangelo, Director of Pupil Services, gave an update to the board on attendance for October and November. He provided a hand-out which shows a turnover of students by grade level and by building. He explained that the district is currently above 95%, but will probaby drop during December and January due to the holidays and the cold weather. He also indicated that students who leave to go to another district are counted as absent until we receive notification that they are registered in another district. They are contrating their efforts at the high school with the goal of getting kids to school, thereby improving attendance and grades. There was some discussion regarding transportation and distances factoring into the attendance drop. Mr. Darcangelo also explained the state requirement regarding "ungraded" students in special education who have IEPs, that they are not taking state mandated tests. C. AUDIT COMMITTEE UPDATE (tabled from November 15, 2005) President Whalen indicated that, since the board voted earlier in the evening on the formation of the audit committee, it was now time for the Audit Committee to work with the Central Business Office to get started on the Request For Proposals (RFP) process and put an audit plan in place.

PRELIMINARY BUDGET DISCUSSIONS by Steve Deinhardt. Mr. Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent for Administration, presented the preliminary 2006-2007 school district budget to the board. He gave an overview of how the governor's state aid proposal will affect the district's budget and how state aid simply is not keeping pace with school district pressures. Mr. Deinhardt also explained that, of the recommended $700 million in Sound Basic Education (SBE) Aid, little more than half ($375 million) that amount will be placed in a reserve to be allocated, pursuant to a plan, to promote the provision of a sound basic education in schools throughout the state. B. UPDATE ON SMALL CITIES LAWSUIT by Joan Purtell. Mrs. Purtell, Vice President of the Board, gave an overview of the Small Cities Lawsuit. She said that the attorney for Small Cities, Robert Biggerstaff, is requesting to argue the points on the Attorney General's Motion to Dismissal with the judge. She further indicated that Binghamton's per 1,000 tax rate is the highest in New York State. On February 6, she will be representing Small Cities in Albany at a joint meeting. She will be providing feedback at this meeting on the governor's proposed budget and its affect on the Binghamton City School District. She explained that Binghamton is a low income, high needs district and it differs from the schools in New York City which are high needs, high income. She closed by explaining that small city school districts have to include building aid in their budget and, if you exceed your allocation, you have to request additional aid. C. DISCUSSION ON SCHOOL CALENDARS by Peggy J. Wozniak. Dr. Wozniak, Superintendent, explained the rationale for how the school district calendars are drafted. She indicated that the draft calendars are consistent with those of other school districts across New York State. Mr. O'Connell indicated that the calendars looked logical and asked whether students would be penalized for observing legal holidays and whether they can make up classes, schoolwork, etc. He further indicated that, having a week off in April is better for students. Mr. Hawley asked when the deadline is for feedback to the proposed calendars and when the board would be expecting to adopt the school calendars. Dr. Wozniak explained that only the 2006-2007 school calendar would be adopted by the board and that this would probably take place in March or April as has been done in previous years. She also explained that the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 calendars would remain in draft while school districts observe how the changes affect their districts. Mrs. Schwartz asked if state testing dates would be consistent. Dr. Wozniak said there is no guarantee, but it should remain pretty consistent with previous years. BOARD INFORMATION Noted. There were no questions. LEGAL None. 186 AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING Per a Resolution passed by the Board at the December meeting, the next Board of Education meeting is February 28, 2006. 1.

Mr. Deinhardt indicated that Mr. Bordeau, Director of Food Services, informed him recently that BOCES is currently working with a registered dietician and that Binghamton will be able to take advantage of this service. Mrs. Kammerman indicated her desire to hear about the soda machine issue. Dr. Wozniak indicated that she had met recently with the Broome County Public Health Director, David Garbarino and Dr. Garruto, Professor from Binghamton University, regarding an obesity study.

Sanya Brown District Clerk MINUTES REGULAR BOARD MEETING BOARD OF EDUCATION, BINGHAMTON, NEW YORK Tuesday, February 28, 2006 @ 7:15 p.m. PLACE: Board Room, 164 Hawley Street, Binghamton, NY CALL TO ORDER The Regular Meeting of the Board of Education was called to order at 7:15 p.m. by President Whalen. PRESENT Mr. Brian Whalen, President Mrs. Joan Purtell, Vice President Mrs. Valerie Hampton, Member Mr. David Hawley, Member Mr. Michael O'Connell, Member Mrs. Patricia Schwartz, Member OTHERS PRESENT Dr. Peggy J. Wozniak, Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Mary Cahill, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Mr. Steven Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent of Administration Mrs. Linda Gretz, Director of Personnel Mrs. Sanya Brown, District Clerk Mr. John Harvey, Controller 16 visitors and 4 members of the media ABSENT Mrs. Maura Kammerman, Member PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing was held to discuss authorizing an exemption from taxation and ad valorem levies under Real Property Tax Law Section 485-e which provides an exemption of capital improvements from taxation for residential buildings constructed, altered or improved in an Empire Zone. Margaret Scarinzi, Coordinator for the Empire Zones Project, was present to answer questions. She stated that the 485-e law was adopted in 1996 and that there are about 50 owners (out of the approximate 155 businesses in the Empire Zones) who have qualified and are taking advantage of this benefit. She further explained how the tax abatement benefit would affect the collection of school district taxes over a period of 7-10 years and that the exemption is only on capital improvements. The owner would still be responsible for paying school district taxes on the assessed value of the property, before the capital improvements were made. She also explained that the assessor determines who is awarded the benefit, but that the local level of the Empire Zones would be responsible for overseeing that the property owner meets their projections. She explained that the key component for qualification of this benefit is job creation and contributions to the economic development of the community.

FUNDING: 29A22250-440 06A2 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR - Time Limited No one wished to address the board on school district business. SPECIAL REPORTS 1. CABLE TELEVISION STUDIO AT BHS. Mr. David Whalen, Vice President of Public and Governmental Relations at Time Warner Cable discussed the new television studio at the high school, which recently received $50,000 worth of donated equipment from Time Warner's Binghamton division. Mr. Whalen indicated that the studio will be used by students and staff for educational purposes. Students interested in media arts, photo journalism, and other classes will be able to get hands-on experience. Mr. Whalen explained that Time Warner saw an opportunity to promote synergy with the school district when the company decided to revamp its Vestal studio and take some equipment off-line. Time Warner approached district administration with the idea and they fell in love with it. He said it was the perfect opportunity to make a generous contribution to the district while opening up a whole new world of opportunities to its students. President Whalen indicated that, in previous years, the district wanted to create a radio station, but, because of fiscal constraints, was not able to do so. However, with the donation of the equipment from Time Warner, the students will have greater exposure to the media world. He thanked Time Warner for the donation and for their collaborative efforts to increase the awareness and education of Binghamton's students into the media forum. He asked if Time Warner had made any agreements with the district in consideration of the donation and David Whalen emphatically stated that the equipment and use was totally at the discretion of the school district and its administration. 205 Continued . . . Mrs. Margaret McGarry, Director of Fine Arts and coordinator of the high school's Rod Serling School of Fine Arts, was also present at the meeting to answer questions. She specifically thanked Mr. Whalen for Time Warner's very generous donation and indicated that the studio will remain a K-12 educational facility and not open to the community or general public. There was also discussion about when and how to broadcast on local television channels for various projects including the Dollars for Scholars fundraiser and Sounds of the Season. David Whalen indicated that Time Warner is willing to work with the district on obtaining air time on a local public access channel, and has offered their expertise to teach students how to use the equipment. 2. UPDATE ON PROGRESS IN THE BOARD GOAL TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF. Mr. David Garbarino, Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics, handed out a rough draft of a wellness policy on physical activity and nutrition which was designed to increase student awareness about eating healthy and exercising regularly. The Board of Education aims to provide an environment that protects children's health, well-being and the ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity. The policy will go through the Comprehensive Health Committee for modifications and then be reviewed by the Policy Review Committee before being adopted by the board. He also explained the obesity study which Binghamton University students are conducted using students in the Binghamton City School District. There was some discussion about sharing the results of the study with the parents of the children who are eligible to participate. President Whalen suggested making its pools accessible to the community. Mr. Garbarino indicated that East Middle's pool is available for "free swim" and that this is advertised through the Binghamton Parks and Recreation Dept. The other pools also have rental users from time to time. President Whalen urged administration to invite the community in to use these facilities so that they can see their tax dollars are hard at work. Mr. Mark Bordeau, Director of Food Services, introduced Ms. Molly Morgan, Registered Dietician and consultant through BOCES, and together they talked about the board's vision to improve student's health by taking steps to create menus that offer healthy choices with a larger variety of foods to chose from. Mr. Bordeau talked about the Give me 5 program. He was delighted to tell the board that they have replaced the soda machines at the high school with juice and water, and that the snack vending machines now sell baked chips. They also sell low-fat ice cream and have introduced whole grains in their breads and doughs. Mr. Bordeau indicated that the district receives white pasta for free, however, is pushing to receive whole grain pasta at no charge instead. Ms. Morgan was pleased to report the positive press about the district working with her as a consultant dietician. She indicated that, although change does not happen overnight, it will have to be a team effort in order to be successful. She gave a glimpse into the plan to hold a health fair, introduce a cafeteria to classroom connection in order to educate students on healthy eating habits, the idea to do morning nutrition announcements, recipe contests and more in order to engage the students. President Whalen thanked the team for sharing the board's vision. Dr. Wozniak emphasized by stating that this board is enlightened and understands the correlation between health and wellness to curriculum and scores. 206 3. BOCES ADMINISTRATIVE 06-07 BUDGET. Dr. Joseph Busch, District Superintendent for the BT BOCES, discussed the BOCES' goal to promote collaboration with schools and the community by offering special programs, including the full time career and technical high school for students who were unsuccessful in their home school districts. He also pointed out that BOCES consistently looks for efficiencies by consolidating services. He also talked about the pilot program to expand distance learning capabilities by offering voice over I.P. and developing the Leadership Institute which educates and trains the leaders of tomorrow. Mr. Al Buyck, Chief Operating Office of the BT BOCES, gave an overview of the administrative budget. He reviewed expenses, revenues and charges to the district and discussed projections for 06-07 and what changes they have made to cut costs and increase revenues to take the burden off component school districts. President Whalen voiced his concerns about bringing in new clients to serve and how expanding facilities to take on additional staff to support new clients instead of making existing facilities more accessible might reflect in billings to districts that are already strapped. He expressed our district's support of the BOCES and its contributions, however, he cautioned that growth could make services unaffordable for some districts. There was some discussion about sharing of athletic stadiums between districts instead of districts draining the local community for the purchase of new facilities. 4. 1ST READING OF NEW POLICIES: A. Credit Card Usage #3170 B. District Cell Phone Issuance and Use #3180 President Whalen explained that these policies would have a 2nd reading at the next meeting in March and then a 3rd reading at the meeting in April with a resolution to adopt the policies at that time.

SPECIAL REPORTS 1. UPDATE ON GRADUATION RATES AND ATTENDANCE. Mr. Robert Darcangelo, Director of Pupil Services, gave an overview of student attendance districtwide from September 2005 through the end of January 2006. Binghamton has a steady rate of mobility with students moving in and moving out of the district. He handed out some enrollment comparisons broken down by school, by grade and by subgroups. There were some questions regarding students who arrive late to school and how those absences are factored in. Mr. Darcangelo indicated that the district works with the parents at all levels of attendance and that, when policies and procedures are not adhered to, the district is forced to use the PINS process to get kids back into school. BOARD INFORMATION Noted. LEGAL None. AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING 1. Odyssey of the Mind Update. 2. Update on the Challenge Program by Laura Lamash. Dr. Wozniak told the board that the district will soon have a daycare center for employees who have children between the ages of 3 and 5 years of age. The daycare center will be housed at MacArthur Elementary School in the annex building. This center was made possible through a grant that the district received, thanks to Tonia Thompson, Director of Early Education. ADJOURN Upon motion by Mr. Hawley, seconded by Mrs. Hampton, the Regular Meeting of the Board of Education was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. by Vice President Purtell. Sanya Brown DISTRICT CLERK 222 223 MINUTES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING Board of Education, Binghamton, New York Thursday, March 30, 2006 – 6:30 p.m. PLACE: Board Conference Room, 164 Hawley Street CALL TO ORDER The Special Meeting was called to order at 6:36 p.m. by President Whalen. PRESENT Mr. Brian D. Whalen, President Mrs. Joan Purtell, Vice President Mr. David V. Hawley, Member Mr. Michael J. O’Connell, Member Mrs. Patricia Schwartz, Member OTHERS PRESENT Dr. Peggy J. Wozniak, Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Mary K. Cahill, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Mrs. Linda Gretz, Director of Personnel Mrs. Sanya Brown, District Clerk ABSENT Mrs. Valerie Hampton, Member Mrs. Maura Kammerman, Member OTHERS ABSENT Mr. Steven G. Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent for Administration Dr. Wozniak and Mrs. Cahill opened up the discussion by talking about the proposed changes to the high school program for the 2006-2007 school year. First, Dr. Wozniak expressed her gratitude for the great feedback shared by parents at the meeting at Binghamton High School on March 29, 2006. She said that all the parents who shared their concerns with the proposed changes were not just passionate about their own children's achievement, but those of all students in the district. Dr. Wozniak discussed the driving force being why the changes were proposed, that being accountability, the SINI status at the high school and the graduation rate. She talked about how accountability is calculated differently than it was a few years ago and that the district has high expectations for all students. 224 The proposed changes were not meant to disadvantage overachieving students, but to provide equity and access for all students to these valuable programs. However, even giving students the opportunity to challenge each other in these accelerated programs, it would be hard for teachers to raise all their students to an accelerated level while, at the same time, continue to meet the needs and still challenge the over-achievers. After hearing parents' concerns, administration decided to re-think the proposed changes and even remove one of the components pertaining to the honors/enrichment program. Mrs. Cahill expressed her gratitude for the parents' willingness to volunteer on task forces to help the district with these important educational and fiscal issues. The administration feels this will establish a better rapport with parents and allow for more open communication and feedback. Other discussions included classroom size, suggestions for Saturday School, AP classes offered in 10th grade, more staff development, study halls, etc. Dr. Wozniak pointed out that several board members were at the parent meeting on March 29, 2006 and heard the same concerns. President Whalen said that it is a board goal to improve the graduation rates to meet AYP and get us off the SINI list. He further said that the board and administration are all concerned with someone else coming in to run the school district and, in order to see that this does not happen, we have to take every action necessary. He further indicated that the district does not want its high achievers to get bored. We want them to come to class. But he also said that their success has a lot to do with instruction and who is motivating them. He believes in differentiated instruction and the fact that you cannot "paint" all kids with the same brush. It is a challenge for staff development and the district needs to allow teachers time for differentiated instruction. He further indicated that all 3 of his children were IB students. It is a rigorous program that helped them out in college. It did not teach them "what to learn", but "how to learn". We need to bring all student achievement up and continue to challenge the high-achieving students as well as those in the middle of the pack, while watching those who need to improve. 225 Dr. Wozniak reassured parents that no programs are scheduled to be eliminated, just classes with low enrollment. Dr. Penna indicated that they are working up the numbers to find out which classes will be eliminated due to low enrollment, but he also noted that some of these classes are non-Regents courses; some are 90day courses like humanities classes, occupational education and technology. Currently, the high school has 180 course offerings, which is double, and even triple, the size of other school districts. Administration is always concerned with sustaining these programs and parent support is always appreciated. President Whalen indicated that pre-requisite courses should not be eliminated if it means that a student cannot move on. In other words, we must be sensitive not to eliminate courses for those opportunities that already exist and to keep on our radar not to eliminate classes that would allow a student to achieve full IB diploma. Mrs. Cahill indicated that one of the components of course selection is fiscal. The district wants to offer a depth of courses, but small city schools have much bigger challenges. Mrs. Purtell, Vice President of the Board of Education, is our legislative liaison. She is always pushing our legislators and lobbying for more money for small city school districts such as Binghamton. Mr. O'Connell mentioned that the enrichment classes have a real dynamic between students and teachers. Not only that, but student to student. There is competition between students. To eliminate that component is not good. Students can push one another, drive each other, just like in sports. He feels it is important for them not to lose that student to student driving force. Dr. Wozniak said she heard that argument compellingly at the parent meeting. Mr. Hawley indicated his concern about urgency, but that the district also needs to make these decisions carefully, a little at a time, and with much preparation and foresight. Mrs. Purtell pointed out the packet of information from the NYS Small Cities School District Association on the "did you know" campaign. Small Cities are chronically under-funded and overtaxed. Anyone who wants to help lobby is encouraged. The NCLB act is not awful; however, they are measurements we have to live by, even if they are strict. Each child should have their goals. 226 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Chris Papastrat, parent, thanked Dr. Wozniak and Dr. Penna for meeting with the parents. He was encouraged that they acted so quickly on their suggestions and concerns. He agreed with Mr. O'Connell that these kids compete with each other on their own level. He indicated his willingness to work with the district on a task force. Pete Yeager, parent, also thanked Dr. Wozniak and Dr. Penna for meeting with the parents. He said that it is critically important for parents to have an impact. He was impressed that opinions were listened to. Parents are willing to help the whole school, so long as their students continue to benefit from the accelerated path. He suggested student to student tutoring. President Whalen agreed and indicated that lower achievers would benefit from student to student tutoring. The lower achievers would have a model to reflect on and be able to set their own expectations. He also said that this has to be a partnership with parents and the community. Kathy Eggleston, parent, said it was a big decision for her to move her kids from St. Johns to Binghamton, but she did so because of the educational opportunities. She knows Binghamton is a great school. She questioned whether kids will still be able to take the courses that they originally wanted to, before the proposed changes. Dr. Penna said that this will be fixed and parents will receive new course selections to sign off on. Dr. Wozniak indicated that the students are the reason we're here and the district will be holding student focus groups to get even more feedback. Another parent questioned whether the IB program would be offered in the middle schools. Mrs. Cahill said that East already has the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and that the district is looking to infuse this at the 9th and 10th grade level. The district received a grant to fund this and teachers are very excited. Two years in the application process with accreditation in the fall. The district is looking to do the same at West Middle. MYP is a way to challenge the students; however, it takes several years to be fully implemented. John Solak, concerned citizen, expressed his displeasure over NCLB and said he does not see anything bad about the state taking over the reigns of the district. He criticized board members for not coming to meetings and said the district was "not paying attention" to the "poor curriculum". He called for the cessation of micromanaging teachers and said that the district needs to "throw out the 227 crazy stuff" like the masks for First Night, etc. He says the school district should go back to the basics. Kelly Hampton, parent and employee, said that this was a wake-up call to parents to get involved. She also said that, during her employment at the middle school this year, she saw how very little parental involvement there is. She said that, sometimes, we forget that we need to be involved. Will Eggleston, student, thanked Dr. Wozniak and Dr. Penna for supporting the honors and enrichment programs. He wants the district to work closely to help students at all levels. James Foyt, student, supports the decision to keep the programs the way they are. He said that, sooner or later, disruptive students will be "weeded out", leaving behind the students who want to be there. He said that there are pros and cons to eliminating study halls. He believes we need to fix it to keep kids in school. Many students do not realize that physical education is very important to graduation and it is one of the easiest classes, yet kids skip it all the time. President Whalen said that this is pet peeve of the Board that students fail to graduate because they fail gym class and that this has been on the board's radar for many years. John Rasmussen, parent, said that this should not have graduated to this extreme, but agreed that we do lose focus and have to offer something so that no one gets left behind. Steve Garlock, concerned citizen, said that students are paying for the school district's failures. He called the administration stewards of public trust. He further said that the board only listens when people advocate and tell them what they are doing wrong. He claims that the failure is in the curriculum and in the priorities of the board and administration. He claims that the school district places the blame on the state and NCLB, yet the district has in excess of $72M for kids' education. He called upon the board to take a position on moving the Department of Social Services office away from the high school. He also criticized the district's CD-ROM marketing campaign. Douglas Drazen, attorney, called upon the board to pass a resolution to move the Social Services office from Main Street. He said that our resolution could mirror the resolution that city council passed and believes it is important for the district to send the message that we value education. 228 Another student thanked administrators for changing their mind about the change in programming. She also indicated that she did not even know that the Social Services office was across the street from the high school. She does not see the DSS office location as an issue. Another parent moved to Binghamton from the state of Utah. She said that the DSS building was a strong negative to moving to Binghamton. Mike Dunlap, parent, thanked administration for listening to them. He said that the kids are what we are fighting for. He did say that we need to clean up the school where student language (swearing) is concerned, study halls for those kids with nothing to do who are taking the easy way out, and provide more structure. He says there has to be a way to do it. He realizes that Binghamton is a tough school and would like to see the DSS office moved. Mr. O'Connell, board member, said that some kids do not think anyone cares. These kids need student to student mentoring because, sometimes, home life can affect their success. ADJOURN There being no further business, President Whalen thanked everyone for coming, including Dr. Penna and his administrative team from the high school. He said that, for some, it was the first opportunity to look at the plan and he cautioned parents to continue to pay close attention. He told administration to communicate with parents what options are available so that their kids get the courses that they want and need. Motion by Mrs. Purtell, seconded by Mr. O'Connell and unanimously carried that the Special Meeting be adjourned. The Special Meeting was adjourned at 7:48 p.m. by President Whalen.

He continues to ask the board to reconsider approving a resolution, similar to what the City did, to have the DSS offices moved away from its current location. Mr. Drazen insisted that the board of education's voice should be heard; that the board should have an opinion; that there are better options available to the community, like moving the public library to the DSS office location; that something a little more "acceptable" would be strategic for marketing purposes; that moving the DSS offices would send the appropriate message to folks looking to move into the area. President Whalen indicated that the board had previously taken this matter into consideration and the board has determined that they have no position on this issue because it is not school district business. SPECIAL REPORTS 1. SEARCH INSTITUTE PROJECT. Professor David Sloan Wilson from Binghamton University gave a brief overview of the Search Institute's Project on developmental assets in the Binghamton City School District and its community. He stated that the project has a focus on positive values, not negative. It is a partnership with the community and in collaberation with Search Institute, Binghamton City Schools and Binghamton University. Students in grades 612 will participate in a survey to examine the range of developmental assets and identify ways to improve them. Dr. Wilson showed how the survey would generate an environmental "map" of sorts. The target is to administer the survey in May 2006 to gather the data which will be put into the database and, subsequently, generate this developmental asset "map". The project utilizes GIS technology which is a very exciting tool. Binghamton University will work with the district to interpret the data from the survey, which should take about 10 minutes to complete and will ensure complete anonymity. 2. CHALLENGE PROGRAM UPDATE. Laura Lamash, Challenge Coordinator, introduced the Challenge Teachers - Lisa Rieger, Lissa Connelly, Suzie Kitchen and Dawn Young (unable to attend). Ms. Lamash gave a brief overview of the scope of work that the Challenge Teachers face on a daily basis. This group of 5 teachers work with approximately 4,000 students in 200 classrooms throughout the elementary and middle schools (grades K-8). The focus of the Challenge Program is on curriculum integration, to build relationships, understanding, create meaning and beauty. It is "object-based learning" that creates powerful connections for participating students. The approach of curriculum integration is to use the arts, technology, community resources such as Roberson, Kopernik, Discovery Center, etc., and then collaborate with teachers to give them support. Mrs. Kitchen is charged with "thematic units". She brought out "Roamer Turtle" which is used in grades K-1 and teaches children computer programming and geometry. Mrs. Rieger's area of expertise is in creating something beautiful. Her students created story cloths that tell the past, present and future. These are hand sewn by the students in grade 2. Students in grade 3 studied the "powers of ten" by looking at the world from different perspectives. Mrs. Connelly's students studied cultural revolution by learning about African Americans who contributed to society. The Harlem Rennaisance was an explosion of racial pride which is a huge part of our history. The students made a movie about Duke Ellington's ties, learned about the importance of tolerance and respect through Daniel's Story, fell in love with the music "Take the A Train" and learned about connectedness and taking ownership. Students also created umbrellas which represent "protection" from life's storms. These will be donated to a worthy cause. 252 253 Continued . . . Mrs. Lamash showed a Twilight Zone video entitled "Be careful what you ask for". The format followed the theme of the Alfred Hitchcock mysteries and even had its own ironic twist. The students wrote the script and learned about literary concepts through visual media. In the middle schools, the students learn how to integration curriculum through book talks and collaborating on the creation of videos and plays. Mrs. Young works with the students in this arena.

Mrs. Purtell was absent. Mr. Steven Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent for Administration presented the 200607 School Budget that will go before the voters on May 16, 2006. He reviewed the district's expenditures and revenues and reiterated the district's goals to be fiscally responsible and strategic to prepare for the future. He touched on the tax levy increase and how it has been decreasing over the past 3 years. Mr. Deinhardt again talked about the category of Excel Aid, which is meant to be used for capital improvements. There are still many questions about this allocation of aid and the district awaits answers. Mrs. Carol Oestrich asked if the district still receives federal aid. Mr. Deinhardt commented that, although the district is receiving grant funding, it has lost over $300,000 in the last two years. Dr. Wozniak also stressed that this is a loss to the state when regions need money and those funds go to higher needs districts. Generally, less money is being allocated and the district is not considered to be in as much need as other urban areas, like New York City. Mr. Milan Brutvan asked how word goes out to the public regarding the school budget. Mr. Deinhardt indicated that the district was mailing a newsletter to all registered voters which contains information about the school budget as well as information on the board candidates. Mrs. Brown, District Clerk, also mentioned that a legal notice is advertised in the Press & Sun Bulletin four (4) times in accordance with Education Law.

Mrs. Theresa Palleschi, parent, addressed the board over her concerns regarding the timing of the senior prom and SATs being held the next day. Her daughter will be attending the senior prom and taking the SATs the next day. She feels this was not planned very well. Ms. Cavanaugh, student board member, suggested that students planning to take the SATs should use common sense and get home at a decent hour and not stay out all night. She also recommended her daughter speak with her guidance counselor and get in touch with the ladies in the College Connection office. Mrs. Schwartz, Member, indicated that the SATs are offered more than once each year and that the school district does not schedule these, the Regents office does. She also indicated that the prom date gets picked a year in advance. President Whalen further stated that the SATs are scheduled at the high school because it can accommodate a large group of students. Students come from other districts as well. He also indicated that, scheduling the prom a year in advance is important because of all the planning involved, including securing a location for the dance. Mrs. Palleschi expressed her concerns on how communications are sent home to parents. Dr. Wozniak said that the district works to continually improve communication with parents. 2. Mrs. Hughes, parent, expressed her concerns regarding a book her son was reading for his IB English class.

She feels her son was subsequently humiliated in class and has since decided to home school him. There was some discussion about her meeting with the Director of Curriculum and several English teachers. She is waiting to speak with Dr. Penna. Dr. Wozniak indicated that she was made aware of the situation and directed appropriate high school administration to meet with her to address her concerns.

Dr. Wozniak showed a Powerpoint Presentation and discussed some very important questions about what ways parents are presently involved in our district, what the profile is of the parents who are most involved, as well as the least involved. She talked about the barriers and issues that keep parents from getting involved and talked about the requirements needed in a school district between parents and schools. Mrs. Hampton brought up that we need to engage parents by asking them how they want to be involved and not just tell them what we think their involvement should be. Some of the discussion surrounding this issue was that parents are too busy and that the level of involvement at each school is different. It was also noted that parental involvement is not necessarily being at the school, but helping their children at home and getting their children to school. These are ways parents are helping. Dr. Wozniak indicated that she would form several small groups to survey parents for improvement suggestions and even hold these meetings out in the community. She concluded her presentation by saying that the Binghamton City School District has incredible kids. BOARD INFORMATION Noted. No questions. President Whalen reminded the board that the reorganization meeting would be held on July 5, 2006, at which time, members would vote on the office of President and Vice President of the board. He asked for anyone interested in these positions to let others know. Mr. Hawley indicated he would be interested in serving as President of the Board. Mrs. Schwartz said she would be interested in serving as Vice President of the Board if Mrs. Purtell wished not to. Mrs. Purtell would like to be Vice President. President Whalen concluded by saying that Binghamton is fortunate that it has a cohesive board. He reminded the board that committee member assignments also needed to be made as well as doing a board self-evaluation. Mr. O'Connell asked when the board retreat would be and Dr. Wozniak indicated that the board would have some dates to decide on by the July 5th reorganization meeting. LEGAL None. AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING 1. Parent Involvement Plan by Dr. Wozniak. Dr. Wozniak will ask Tonia Thompson to present the board with some information on the Reading 1st Grant at an upcoming meeting, possibly August. Mrs. Kammerman indicated that she would be interested in seeing more calendars that observe cultural and religious holidays.
