48 00:04:23.970 --> 00:04:24.930 Kevin Hutton: All in favor. 49 00:04:26.370 --> 00:04:31.470 Kevin Hutton: I see seven and 740 against 50 00:04:33.630 --> 00:04:38.280 Kevin Hutton: Okay, our next item is Board of Education reports. 51 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:54.780 Kevin Hutton: What I wanted to start off with just a couple of statements. One is, I've been pretty active and watching all of it. The governor's um press sessions and 52 00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:05.880 Kevin Hutton: Focusing on his discussions about when school will open up again. And you've probably heard there were issues with 53 00:05:06.930 --> 00:05:16.320 Kevin Hutton: Mayor de Blasio who's basically made a statement that schools are going to be New York City schools are going to be closed until next year. 54 00:05:17.610 --> 00:05:25.950 Kevin Hutton: Governor Cuomo said, Not so fast, you're not the one that's going to decide that it's a much bigger decision a regional decision. 55 00:05:26.460 --> 00:05:43.740 Kevin Hutton: So with that we haven't received any information about when school. We'll start again. So we were really up in the air. We have no solid information. Also, there's been no solid direction, except for 56 00:05:44.940 --> 00:06:07.290 Kevin Hutton: A date after June 1 for both our budget vote. And actually there's been no statement about elections, the budget vote his statement was it will be after June 1 and may no reference to Board of Education elections. So we're pretty much up in the air there. The one good thing is we do have 57 00:06:08.550 --> 00:06:15.930 Kevin Hutton: A lot of advocates in Albany working on our behalf with with the organizations we belong to and the

58 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:20.400 Kevin Hutton: our elected officials that we are very close to it so 59 00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:25.800 Kevin Hutton: They're working for us. The other thing is said 60 00:06:28.350 --> 00:06:29.310 Kevin Hutton: Locally 61 00:06:30.390 --> 00:06:42.570 Kevin Hutton: I'm I've been watching Adam bellow as well. And he made a statement and this is his quote that while it's possible that schools will open again before the end of the school year. 62 00:06:42.870 --> 00:06:52.140 Kevin Hutton: I don't think it's likely we need to be preparing ourselves for the fact that we need to be engaged in remote learning at home. 63 00:06:52.680 --> 00:07:06.990 Kevin Hutton: So I'm kind of pleased that, that what we have been doing as a district is we've been looking at that both short term and long term. I'm not saying we have any inside information that's going to, it's going to close or we have any definitive answers. 64 00:07:07.650 --> 00:07:24.240 Kevin Hutton: But I think we're in a good position was with what Ty is done and what the learning team has put together. So I think either way it goes, although we never anticipated this I think we're going to be somewhat prepared. 65 00:07:25.260 --> 00:07:25.980 Kevin Hutton: So, 66 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:34.140 Kevin Hutton: I'm going to follow up at the end of everyone's comments. So Greg, if you have any reports. 67 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:42.000 Greg Kincaid: Yeah, the only report, I have is in regards to the district in with cleaning and safety precautions. I've got to say. 68 00:07:42.330 --> 00:07:53.580

Greg Kincaid: The staff has done an outstanding job as an update at this point that district has completed all deep cleaning efforts and continue to clean and sanitized our food service areas. 69 00:07:54.060 --> 00:08:06.030 Greg Kincaid: As well as any other areas that we need to have essential activities. We have also increased our efforts to post signs around campus regarding grounds and facilities being closed. 70 00:08:06.630 --> 00:08:17.310 Greg Kincaid: Even though these are difficult decisions, but unfortunately having these venues available is creating a social distancing and sanitary concerned that we can't monitor so 71 00:08:18.900 --> 00:08:34.110 Greg Kincaid: That's pretty much the update that we have in regards to cleaning and safety. And I've got to say the staff has done an outstanding job staying ahead of that. So I'd like to express my appreciation to Mr. Drake and his staff. 72 00:08:37.290 --> 00:08:39.540 Kevin Hutton: Thank you, Carrie, do you have a 73 00:08:40.050 --> 00:08:49.140 Gary Bracken: Record out. I sure do. And, and, and I want to kind of address my things to tie and folks that are on this call a Christian and 74 00:08:49.530 --> 00:08:55.590 Gary Bracken: And Lisa McCarthy and the team that has been doing amazing work to engage our learners. 75 00:08:56.370 --> 00:09:07.080 Gary Bracken: From our youngest little as folks in the K through to grade all the way up through our seniors who are are going through an unprecedented situation with their 76 00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:17.460 Gary Bracken: You know, senior year and stuff. You guys have done amazing work to engage everybody to get the teachers, the counselors, the rest of the staff involved. 77 00:09:17.970 --> 00:09:30.180 Gary Bracken: I can tell you from a personal perspective are triplets. You know, we watch them do the zoom calls with some of their teachers and counselors and you know Ryan and means eight are there too so

78 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:32.670 Gary Bracken: You guys are doing amazing work. 79 00:09:33.750 --> 00:09:48.330 Gary Bracken: There's just words to say. And you guys are working through unchartered waters right now and it's just, it's amazing to see that we have such a team that just rises to the occasion. So thank you very much for what y'all are doing 80 00:09:52.170 --> 00:09:55.500 Kevin Hutton: Thank you, Mr Bracken if you're selling 81 00:09:59.130 --> 00:10:10.530 Michael Miceli: So I'd like to talk a little bit of our graduation head and my son just graduated last year, we still have a lot of social circles, although we're not seeing each other. I am hearing a lot of feedback. And when I talk about what's going to happen a graduation. 82 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:18.840 Michael Miceli: Graduation is obviously someone want to celebrate. It's one of my favorite times a year, but given the times it's likely we're gonna have to change how we celebrate the event. 83 00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:28.410 Michael Miceli: We've been informed that SUNY Brockport campus will be closed until the end of July this impacts our graduation as our graduation takes place at the circuit SUNY Brockport 84 00:10:29.070 --> 00:10:45.300 Michael Miceli: So currently, our district leadership team is working to develop other options for graduation. This includes the possibility and holding graduation at a later date to be determined and outdoor venue all your virtual graduation I can say this and this point no decisions have been made. 85 00:10:46.350 --> 00:10:54.480 Michael Miceli: So Sharma k, the principal at the high school is providing an update towards independence certain graduation and we'll be in contact with senior parents and students in the coming weeks. 86 00:10:55.080 --> 00:11:04.500 Michael Miceli: To ask for feedback and look for ideas and what what can be done only gonna say is, hold on tight because the situation is continuously evolving, they'll be more information.

87 00:11:05.910 --> 00:11:09.360 Michael Miceli: Available as a because we get a chance to figure out what's going on. 88 00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:11.520 Michael Miceli: It's rather 89 00:11:15.090 --> 00:11:15.990 Kevin Hutton: This is Nikki. 90 00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:34.950 Katherine Czarnecki: I am so happy to report on the meal distribution that Spencer for has been doing during this difficult time. It's really a amazing silver lining of a dark cloud. 91 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:44.640 Katherine Czarnecki: So for breakfast and lunch distribution. They are averaging in the District of 1000 meals for breakfast and lunch each day. 92 00:11:46.020 --> 00:11:55.860 Katherine Czarnecki: Also amazingly delivering 30 meals a day to neighborhoods for people who have transportation challenges which I think is incredible. 93 00:11:57.450 --> 00:12:06.300 Katherine Czarnecki: Three distribution sites are staffed and supported with volunteer efforts that Christina empowerment is overseeing and 94 00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:09.990 Katherine Czarnecki: Mr. Hutton has also helped to 95 00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:16.740 Katherine Czarnecki: refine the safety protocols to make it more streamlined and safe for everybody involved. 96 00:12:18.150 --> 00:12:29.850 Katherine Czarnecki: Total approximate meals, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. As of April 10 is approximately 16,700 for lunch and breakfast and 4100 dinners, which is 97 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:47.310

Katherine Czarnecki: Nearly 21,000 meals, which is pretty incredible. So thank you so much for everybody that's been involved in that. It's absolutely astounding and and I just am so thankful for all the restaurants that have been involved in all the staff that's keeping it going. So great job. 98 00:12:51.180 --> 00:12:52.770 Kevin Hutton: Thank you, Mr. Richard Margo 99 00:12:53.970 --> 00:13:07.500 David Gibbardo: Okay, so I have the short one here, childcare updates. This point our survey helped us to know of potential first responders and medical professionals that may need support or help with childcare. 100 00:13:08.550 --> 00:13:17.370 David Gibbardo: We have not been directed to provide or fund these needs. At this point, but rather than make sure we communicate the available certified locations. 101 00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:28.680 David Gibbardo: Where there are slots available. We've only had to date one family at this point. And we've been keeping them informed on our website. That's it. 102 00:13:31.710 --> 00:13:34.380 Kevin Hutton: Thank you. And this is Julian. 103 00:13:35.310 --> 00:13:42.120 Jody Gillette: Hey. Hello everyone. So yeah, I'll give some personnel HR updates. First I shout out to all our HR recruitment team. 104 00:13:42.510 --> 00:13:49.740 Jody Gillette: Even in these difficult times. I know that our recruitment folks are moving forward with our spring recruitment process using zoom this year. 105 00:13:50.370 --> 00:13:59.760 Jody Gillette: Right now the desk district chasm process, the candidate screenings and the committee interviews and given that all of the events were canceled. This year, of course. 106 00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:10.260 Jody Gillette: Our team has connected with candidates through some virtual job fairs, which is terrific. A nice highlight. We have over 60 resumes. As a result of the Rochester teachers recruitment day

107 00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:23.130 Jody Gillette: And our at our check our HR team has reached out to some of those applicants. So if they had certifications and the content areas that we have openings for those connections are being made. So truly excellent job. 108 00:14:28.230 --> 00:14:28.830 Kevin Hutton: Thank you God 109 00:14:32.910 --> 00:14:35.910 Kevin Hutton: So I wanted to do a quick 110 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:54.750 Kevin Hutton: I guess. Thank you and appreciation, as you know that Dan started out this year, with it being the year of gratitude and I can't express it enough that the gratitude of what I'm seeing what our district is doing. 111 00:14:55.830 --> 00:15:02.370 Kevin Hutton: At all levels, whether it's Dan and his cabinet and executive council, but 112 00:15:03.180 --> 00:15:12.120 Kevin Hutton: Going although you look at social media and what the teachers are doing and how many challenges are out there. And as I walked the neighborhood. I can see 113 00:15:12.420 --> 00:15:22.080 Kevin Hutton: What that the principal or school teachers challenges and just chakra on on the kids driveways, it's just been fun to see that. 114 00:15:22.800 --> 00:15:40.080 Kevin Hutton: But there's so much more that that is going on that we don't necessarily pay attention to, like, actually, a few people that are the attendees right now our tech support team. It was just incredible how they jumped to action to get 115 00:15:41.130 --> 00:15:54.450 Kevin Hutton: So many people connected to our system so we can continue with the learning that we're doing. And even though there's there's no kids in the school our facility. People are still busting their butts to 116 00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:06.540

Kevin Hutton: Keep this place up and going, so I look today at our, our mission and it says, Our mission is to educate and inspire each student to love learning pursue excellence. 117 00:16:06.900 --> 00:16:15.450 Kevin Hutton: And use knowledge, skills, and attitudes to contribute respectfully and confidently to an ever changing global community. 118 00:16:16.290 --> 00:16:26.430 Kevin Hutton: And I just that last statement, there are the ever changing global community. This has been our mission for more than 10 years and how did they know 119 00:16:26.730 --> 00:16:39.630 Kevin Hutton: That this was going to happen. And these kids today what they're experiencing is completely new. So I can't tell you how much I appreciate how that the learning community is redefining 120 00:16:40.230 --> 00:16:54.060 Kevin Hutton: How they do their work and how we continue with our mission. So with all my heart. I want to say thank you to everyone in the district and everyone that's on this call. Thank you so much. 121 00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.550 Daniel Milgate: Thank you, Kevin. 122 00:16:58.230 --> 00:17:03.390 Kevin Hutton: So back to our, our, our agenda, um, 123 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:12.210 Kevin Hutton: Our next item in the board reports is review of our calendar for next year. 124 00:17:13.260 --> 00:17:17.340 Kevin Hutton: So we all receive the copy of the calendar in 125 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:19.740 Kevin Hutton: Our 126 00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:31.470 Kevin Hutton: One note EARLIER, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS discussions that we think we need about this. It's pretty cut and dry. What we do each year.

127 00:17:32.490 --> 00:17:39.060 Kevin Hutton: But the one thing I remember we talked about at one time considering an earlier start time 128 00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:44.220 Kevin Hutton: I don't know if that's something we wanted to look at now and 129 00:17:46.260 --> 00:17:52.830 Kevin Hutton: Change it throughout the year, or be consistent, or if there's any any will to make changes at this point. 130 00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:56.100 Kevin Hutton: Anybody 131 00:17:59.670 --> 00:18:00.600 Kevin Hutton: Keep it the same 132 00:18:02.010 --> 00:18:04.350 Kevin Hutton: I'm seeing head nods thumbs. 133 00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:08.430 Kevin Hutton: So this is not a voting thing is just a 134 00:18:11.130 --> 00:18:13.710 Kevin Hutton: Ahead, not at this point, do we want to go ahead 135 00:18:15.330 --> 00:18:15.780 Kevin Hutton: Okay. 136 00:18:16.110 --> 00:18:25.440 Kevin Hutton: Go ahead. Well, that was an easy discussion. So I got seven head nod saying yes, we're the meeting calendar for next year. Looks good. 137 00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:32.280 Kevin Hutton: So that will I think appear on a consent agenda in the near future. 138 00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:35.310 Okay.

139 00:18:36.930 --> 00:18:42.990 Kevin Hutton: Our next on our agenda is superintendents report. So I will turn the meeting over to Mr. Miyagi at this point. 140 00:18:45.090 --> 00:18:56.010 Daniel Milgate: Thank you, Kevin. Thanks everyone. So you know the last time we met. We said we'd be prepared to have the budget to approve tonight and move forward. But with 141 00:18:56.790 --> 00:19:06.540 Daniel Milgate: All the moving parts, and all the changes that you've been reading about that we've been trying to keep you up to date on the news and notes and thank you to Rick and cabinet for really working hard at 142 00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:15.450 Daniel Milgate: Moving through everything that we get in terms of changes, but really Rick interpreting the latest information from the state. 143 00:19:16.590 --> 00:19:24.420 Daniel Milgate: He meets every week at least once. If not, multiple times with his counterparts in the other school districts have really tried to get a handle on 144 00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:35.250 Daniel Milgate: What's happening with the sales tax. What's happening with interest income revenues and what's happening with some of the forecast changes that are going to be coming up so 145 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:45.240 Daniel Milgate: I think the important thing is is that he's got a good presentation tonight to show you and to share with you the work we've done to prepare for 146 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:59.550 Daniel Milgate: The changes which are basically that we have a pretty big gap to figure out right now and part. Remember I said earlier, some of the things in the county, people are in all different points right now. 147 00:20:00.510 --> 00:20:08.850 Daniel Milgate: Even the approach that districts are taking across the county with how to handle some of the federal aid projections for next year.

148 00:20:09.300 --> 00:20:19.500 Daniel Milgate: And how much of that might be taken back or not taking back is across the board already and approaches. So Rick's been trying to navigate through that with Kevin, we've been talking about. 149 00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:30.120 Daniel Milgate: Approaches and strategies will use and I think Rick's presentation does a really nice job of laying that out for you and kind of forecasting where we think we should go from this point on, so 150 00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:36.570 Daniel Milgate: Rick and Corey got this PowerPoint piece down pretty well. This week, is my understanding and 151 00:20:37.800 --> 00:20:46.140 Daniel Milgate: So Rick's gonna run us through a PowerPoint and then obviously the end of the presentation as we always do. Or if when we're going along, you have questions. 152 00:20:46.590 --> 00:20:55.020 Daniel Milgate: I think use some of the guidelines coming to share this with you know, raise your hand. And I will unmute or you can unmute and then we'll go from there. Sounds good. 153 00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:58.320 Daniel Milgate: Rick 154 00:20:59.580 --> 00:21:04.380 Rick Wood: All right. Thank you, Dan. Let's so I did this once with Corey. Let's see how it works. 155 00:21:12.510 --> 00:21:15.540 Rick Wood: Alright. So can everybody see the screen the PowerPoint. 156 00:21:18.270 --> 00:21:21.000 Rick Wood: I see a lot of thumbs up. Okay, so 157 00:21:22.290 --> 00:21:33.090 Rick Wood: Again, as Dan mentioned in normal circumstances, we would have been providing a budget, where you would have actually adopted a budget tonight that if we followed all the regular guidelines. 158 00:21:34.410 --> 00:21:41.190

Rick Wood: And before I start, you guys know that we try to I try to put some humor into this because it can be pretty dry at times. 159 00:21:41.910 --> 00:21:51.090 Rick Wood: And in the past I've it's been shared with me that I can be. Well, actually, before I start that I actually thought this quote was hilarious. And this was something that Gary 160 00:21:51.720 --> 00:22:02.130 Rick Wood: Our illustrious Gary provided me and that is the federal government give us the state taketh away fabulous and you'll begin to see how that works. So Gary, thanks for that start 161 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:11.160 Rick Wood: But again, sometimes people consider me a Debbie Downer, as I talked about this, and hopefully that won't be the case. 162 00:22:12.270 --> 00:22:12.750 Rick Wood: Now, 163 00:22:14.070 --> 00:22:27.210 Rick Wood: One more little piece of fun here is that Kevin, you said you mentioned you'd like to watch the governor present and I actually don't want to be on a political soapbox but I think he's done a fabulous job at presenting 164 00:22:28.470 --> 00:22:43.590 Rick Wood: And providing updates each day. So one of the times I was watching was when he was talking about the state budget and you really got to listen to this, so bear with me. And let's listen to what he has to say about the approval of the state budget. 165 00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:03.000 Kevin Hutton: Rick. I'm not getting any sound. 166 00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:06.690 Rick Wood: Alright, so 167 00:23:06.870 --> 00:23:09.630 Gary Bracken: And I'm bite my tongue. I'm making a comment about that. 168 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.510 Rick Wood: Alright, so I'm gonna

169 00:23:20.100 --> 00:23:23.670 Rick Wood: I'm gonna stop the share for a minute and see and reset this. Sorry. Hang on. 170 00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.510 Kevin Hutton: Record. Are you using multiple screens. 171 00:23:31.170 --> 00:23:32.970 Rick Wood: Now, I think I just needed to click a 172 00:23:34.800 --> 00:23:37.470 Rick Wood: Share computer sound here. So let's get back to it. 173 00:23:48.150 --> 00:23:49.620 Rick Wood: Alright, so let's start again, let me know. 174 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:54.690 But we have to do a budget and the budget is due April one, 175 00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:59.400 So the only responsible course for us is number one. 176 00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:12.510 We have to address this revenue loss. We know the revenues are down. We don't know how much we don't know when the economy comes back. We don't know the rate at which the economy comes back. 177 00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:27.300 And we don't know what Washington may do to address this situation in the future, if anything, so you don't know. You don't know. You don't know and you don't know, but you have to do a budget with all those unknowns. 178 00:24:29.490 --> 00:24:41.580 Address them, realistically, and how do you address them. Realistically, first we're going to just down our revenue projections for the initial budget. 179 00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:56.070 And then what we're going to do, which is something we've never done before is we're going to adjust the budget through the years to reflect the actual revenue. 180

00:24:56.940 --> 00:25:13.800 Meaning will say on day one. Okay, we intended to give you $100 we don't have $100 so we're going to give you $95 but I can only give you $95 if I get $95 181 00:25:14.550 --> 00:25:28.920 And I'll let you know quarterly whatever the period of time is how much money, I'm getting and how much I can give you of the 95 and therefore you can plan accordingly. 182 00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:45.990 And that's, frankly, the only way that you can do this budget when you have so many unknowns. So, adjust the initial number down and then have periods through the course of the year where you say to school districts local governments, etc. 183 00:25:47.370 --> 00:26:05.040 This is how much we actually received this is what the federal government did, it's what the federal government didn't do the economy is coming back faster these economies coming back slower, but these are the actual numbers so you can adjust your budget accordingly. 184 00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:13.470 Rick Wood: So I think that gives a good picture is you don't know. You don't know. You don't know. You don't know. 185 00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:14.370 Rick Wood: So, 186 00:26:15.090 --> 00:26:21.300 Rick Wood: I'm going to try to share with you some of the things that we do know and how we're approaching them. 187 00:26:22.770 --> 00:26:25.590 Rick Wood: So the last meeting march 24 188 00:26:26.970 --> 00:26:28.260 Rick Wood: We've had some things occur. 189 00:26:30.030 --> 00:26:32.730 Rick Wood: So we were at 85 166 for our budget. 190 00:26:34.140 --> 00:26:39.390

Rick Wood: We've gone and we've reduced the expenditure. So we're at 84 690 191 00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:47.490 Rick Wood: And I'm going to get into these in more detail, but this is big picture from the revenue perspective I decreased. 192 00:26:48.750 --> 00:26:51.180 Rick Wood: Local sources by 240 4000 193 00:26:52.380 --> 00:27:10.320 Rick Wood: The governor's or the legislative Ron, excuse me, came in and that was reflective of the way I'm reporting it an $800,000 decrease in state aid, but an increase of federal aid of 608 which you'll see a little bit later on is the federal stimulus. 194 00:27:11.490 --> 00:27:12.810 Rick Wood: To help balance the budget. 195 00:27:15.150 --> 00:27:32.790 Rick Wood: We included 240 $8,000 that we had not planned to use for our retirement contribution for the TRS and then I'll get into a little bit with you with regard to a decision about the classroom furniture. Therefore, a reduction of that particular reserve. 196 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.170 Rick Wood: Any questions on the big picture before I get into the specifics 197 00:27:40.230 --> 00:27:41.670 Rick Wood: Okay, so 198 00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:45.030 Rick Wood: What changed. 199 00:27:49.080 --> 00:28:06.000 Rick Wood: As I mentioned, a local sources I decreased sales tax by $200,000 based on what we're hearing you can look to anywhere from 25 to 40% reduction in the current year. 200 00:28:06.810 --> 00:28:17.820 Rick Wood: For sales tax. So to be prudent, you really need. We really needed to decrease that interest income. I'm sure you know that the economy is not what it was.

201 00:28:18.690 --> 00:28:30.540 Rick Wood: So I reduced it back down to the 44,000 it's still an increase over last year. But essentially, I took the increase from the last time I presented to you and I decrease that back to 44,000 202 00:28:32.490 --> 00:28:35.190 Rick Wood: When you get to state and federal sources. 203 00:28:36.780 --> 00:28:47.460 Rick Wood: So I'm going to hop back and forth a little bit here, but the foundation aid was hell flat. So in other words, what we're receiving in 2021 is going to be the same as what we're currently receiving a 1920 204 00:28:48.780 --> 00:28:52.500 Rick Wood: Our public or our bases aid actually increased 205 00:28:53.610 --> 00:29:01.080 Rick Wood: And it actually increased to the number that I had projected a while ago. So I felt comfortable with the numbers. 206 00:29:01.950 --> 00:29:13.110 Rick Wood: Public and Private access cost. Again, the difference between the governor's run to the legislative run was essentially the same. I'm actually increasing it back to what it was. 207 00:29:14.370 --> 00:29:15.570 Rick Wood: Based on formula. 208 00:29:16.710 --> 00:29:20.190 Rick Wood: instructional material aid again due to 209 00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:28.530 Rick Wood: updated information that the state has enrollment decrease the little bit. So, aren't I instructional material a decreased. 210 00:29:29.340 --> 00:29:39.900 Rick Wood: Our transportation aid actually stayed the same from the governor's to the legislative. However, the way they calculate that I calculated differently. So I kept it at a decrease 211 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:56.100

Rick Wood: Building aid remains the same. There was no Community whether was community school set aside, but it did not pick impact us the way it had in the governor's run and then we're going to talk more about the pandemic adjustment and federal cares restoration 212 00:29:58.860 --> 00:30:12.960 Rick Wood: So again, let's talk a little bit more about state aid. So the top chart recognize that that is our current year state aid. So the first column, the BT two one dash one that was the governor's run 213 00:30:14.310 --> 00:30:21.360 Rick Wood: The second column is the legislative run and you can see the numbers are similar and then 214 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:36.720 Rick Wood: We actually get a stated out report, which I've shared with you in the past. That's what we're actually receiving based on the output report and really just what I want to highlight. As you can see, there's three different numbers essentially for the three of the same areas. 215 00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:40.830 Rick Wood: When you look at the projected 2021 eight 216 00:30:41.910 --> 00:30:51.930 Rick Wood: Again, the first column there the BT to a one dash one was the governor's run now I'm showing us a little bit differently because he had 217 00:30:54.630 --> 00:31:02.790 Rick Wood: Wanted to roll both these aid and instruction material aid into foundation aid I broke that out so that I could be a little bit more apples to apples. 218 00:31:03.570 --> 00:31:23.730 Rick Wood: You can see the 202 dash one column is what the legislative branch approved, you can see down on the bottom, the pandemic adjustment of 608,000 which is a reduction in our state aid and what they've done is restored that with the federal cares restoration 219 00:31:25.650 --> 00:31:28.680 Rick Wood: Now what I'm actually proposing is a little bit different. 220 00:31:30.150 --> 00:31:40.020 Rick Wood: You can see that both these eight I did keep it 3.2 million. You can see the public and private access costs are different from the legislative run

221 00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:59.490 Rick Wood: And transportation eight I did decrease I pulled out the pandemic adjustment, but I did roll that back in as a federal state aid and then what's not usually included in the governor's or the legislative run is the urban, suburban so I've added that on the bottom. 222 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.320 Rick Wood: Any questions specific to state aid or what I'm proposing. 223 00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:08.100 Oops. 224 00:32:10.290 --> 00:32:10.800 Rick Wood: Okay. 225 00:32:13.080 --> 00:32:15.150 Rick Wood: Sorry, I got, I keep having to move the 226 00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:16.980 Rick Wood: Picture. 227 00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:30.720 Rick Wood: So again, let's talk a little bit big picture wise of the state budget. And again, instead of recreating the wheel, I participated in or listen to a webinar by 228 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:37.530 Rick Wood: New York State Association of School business officials on for eight so I did steal some of this material and modified a little bit 229 00:32:38.130 --> 00:32:53.550 Rick Wood: But what what they had to share. And I think you can see that is there's a tremendous uncertainty with state aid right now that the State is concerned about a huge revenue shortfall right now they're talking about 10 to $15 billion. 230 00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:03.870 Rick Wood: Of a variance and quite honestly the best that we could have hoped for is a phrase and Foundation, which is which is what they did for the most part. 231 00:33:05.190 --> 00:33:16.530

Rick Wood: Some of the better news is that the again the governor had proposed certain things that I think would have been detrimental to schools moving forward. They were not included as part of the legislative budget. 232 00:33:20.790 --> 00:33:26.250 Rick Wood: When it comes to total aid, again, you can see that in 2021 233 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:30.570 Rick Wood: We were held flat with a 1920 ML. 234 00:33:33.210 --> 00:33:36.960 Rick Wood: When you listen to the governor talk about this unprecedented time 235 00:33:37.980 --> 00:33:44.700 Rick Wood: Where they're going to have a potential for mid year cuts we know very little about that and I'll get to that in a few more slides. 236 00:33:45.270 --> 00:34:02.790 Rick Wood: And again, just big picture wise recognize that if districts are relying on foundation aid. These could be dramatic for us. That's about 48% not just foundation aid, but of state aid. Overall, the other portion of our revenue is about another 48% as a relates to the lobby. 237 00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:18.060 Rick Wood: So let's talk a little bit about the pandemic adjustment again what they've done is a federal stimulus bill provided $1.1 billion to New York State. 238 00:34:20.040 --> 00:34:31.710 Rick Wood: And what the governor did was that amount was based on our title one federal grants. So for us again 608,000 239 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:38.220 Rick Wood: And they're going to reduce that. And then essentially throw that back into the mix. 240 00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:43.500 Rick Wood: As part of what I call the federal status so 241 00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:47.790 Gary Bracken: Rick

242 00:34:47.910 --> 00:34:48.780 Rick Wood: A real quick. 243 00:34:48.810 --> 00:34:53.280 Gary Bracken: Question on that. Sure. Is there been any pushback from 244 00:34:54.390 --> 00:34:56.370 Gary Bracken: I'm not sure if it's the business officials. 245 00:34:57.810 --> 00:35:06.720 Gary Bracken: Organization or something to really kind of dig into what the intent of the federal government was versus what the State is doing with it. 246 00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:13.890 Rick Wood: There, there has been, Gary, but I'm not that well versed on it quite honestly to me. 247 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:23.340 Rick Wood: It's already in law, for lack of a better term, so that, for me, it is what it is. And I just going to deal with what I know. 248 00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:36.930 Gary Bracken: I know it's they care Zach is in law. But what New York State is doing in terms of whatever the federal government's giving they're withdrawing from district like ours, I 249 00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:40.500 Gary Bracken: Know that perhaps the 250 00:35:41.520 --> 00:36:00.030 Gary Bracken: US Department of Education didn't delineate very clearly what that was supposed to be for but it was supposed to be for individual districts for the state to then pull it back and reduce our A by that amount seems counter intuitive to what the care Zach was intended to do. 251 00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:01.830 Gary Bracken: That 252 00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:05.670 Rick Wood: It could very well be great. I know there has been discussion as it relates to

253 00:36:07.350 --> 00:36:16.680 Rick Wood: Should that federal money go directly to the schools or should it go to the state as of this point it's going to the state and the state has made a decision to 254 00:36:17.700 --> 00:36:18.480 Rick Wood: Do what they're doing. 255 00:36:20.010 --> 00:36:21.150 Rick Wood: That's a great question, though. 256 00:36:26.190 --> 00:36:29.580 Rick Wood: It so mid year reductions. This is probably the 257 00:36:31.050 --> 00:36:37.950 Rick Wood: The piece of the puzzle that that we just don't know what's going to happen. So again what they've done is they've 258 00:36:39.420 --> 00:36:41.700 Rick Wood: They've matched the revenues that were supposed to receive 259 00:36:42.990 --> 00:36:53.100 Rick Wood: To the pandemic adjustment, the reduction. There's going to be three particular periods that the division of budget is going to look at 260 00:36:54.150 --> 00:37:04.230 Rick Wood: You can see on the screen that it's April 30 or the month of April. This is the first look back period then May to June and then July to December. 261 00:37:06.930 --> 00:37:16.200 Rick Wood: So really, what they're doing is if revenues have come in less than what we're projected or if they're spending more than what they had had 262 00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:27.090 Rick Wood: budgeted or or thought to budget, the division of budget can pull money away. We have no idea how they're going to determine what those amounts will be for each district. 263 00:37:28.350 --> 00:37:34.380 Rick Wood: Legislature will then have 10 days to develop its own plan. If they don't, then the division of budgets plan will will go in place.

264 00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:43.680 Rick Wood: Now this could work the other way. If for some reason they got more money than they had anticipated or they're not spending as much 265 00:37:45.030 --> 00:37:51.540 Rick Wood: They wouldn't take anything away, but it's just the unknown right now. And that's what we have to try to do to be prepared for 266 00:37:53.460 --> 00:38:08.790 Kevin Hutton: So Rick is our exposure limited to what the cares federal payments are or where they talking where they can actually go through indeed up foundation eight or other items based on that schedule, you just had 267 00:38:10.050 --> 00:38:10.290 Kevin Hutton: So, 268 00:38:10.380 --> 00:38:26.970 Rick Wood: Kevin, another great question. When I first interpreted this I was making the assumption that they would only take up to that pandemic adjustment amount for each school district and listening to the webinar from nassco that may not be the case. 269 00:38:28.710 --> 00:38:29.970 Rick Wood: So we may be 270 00:38:31.020 --> 00:38:37.290 Rick Wood: Liable for a larger cut. But again, we just don't know at this stage in the game. We just don't know. 271 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.670 Rick Wood: So again, they sort of provided a worst case scenario. 272 00:38:45.930 --> 00:38:59.610 Rick Wood: So again, almost leading into that question. Kevin is. That's how I interpreted it. However, if the State determines that they need more there is they can make a request to 273 00:39:00.630 --> 00:39:05.400 Rick Wood: The Department of Education to withhold more again it's a wait and see. 274

00:39:06.690 --> 00:39:16.860 Rick Wood: We just don't know how these costs are going to be allocated. And again, the State Association is is recommending that school districts 275 00:39:18.060 --> 00:39:32.100 Rick Wood: Wait, to try to finalize their budget, knowing that the first look back period is going to be April 30 we're we're doing that a little bit. Again, not knowing when the executive order will come out of when our budget vote and board elections will be 276 00:39:33.540 --> 00:39:37.590 Rick Wood: We're sort of putting in a we're in a wait and see period right now. 277 00:39:41.520 --> 00:39:48.900 Rick Wood: And, you know, this is just a date when you look at what I shared earlier about sales tax and interest income. 278 00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:55.020 Rick Wood: You know that could be even bigger in the 2122 year 279 00:40:01.680 --> 00:40:03.780 Rick Wood: So, speaking to the 2122 year 280 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:09.540 Rick Wood: You know, again, we've been participating with our long range financial 281 00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:20.040 Rick Wood: expert who shared with you some of the concerns that we have moving forward. And that was in prior to this scenario. 282 00:40:21.180 --> 00:40:30.300 Rick Wood: But again, knowing that this is really that the first two bullets are similar to districts using reserves or appropriated fund balance. 283 00:40:30.870 --> 00:40:44.970 Rick Wood: So, the state has essentially taken away this one time federal stimulus money, what's going to happen in 2122 they essentially have to make up that that amount of money. So where's it going to come from. Again, we just don't know. 284 00:40:46.290 --> 00:40:51.570

Rick Wood: And you know just from a historical purpose. Since 1718 285 00:40:53.070 --> 00:41:01.740 Rick Wood: Obviously the school aid increases have been less than the 1 billion, which is the amount that they're sort of putting into the budget to help manage 286 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:05.730 Rick Wood: The shortfall that they're in. 287 00:41:09.570 --> 00:41:11.400 Rick Wood: So what changed on the expenditure side. 288 00:41:14.040 --> 00:41:16.440 Rick Wood: Sort of what I call known expenditures 289 00:41:17.790 --> 00:41:32.520 Rick Wood: These were things. We had a decrease in instructional material expenses, what we did was we had a little bit more money in the instructional material I reduce that so that it's now just a tad over eight amount that we're receiving 290 00:41:34.680 --> 00:41:42.840 Rick Wood: I had based on some of the conversations. There was a student who attended a state school that the general fund is required to pay a portion for 291 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:52.740 Rick Wood: That student is graduating. So that was about $10,000 that I was able to pull from the budget and then there were slight adjustments again as we go back and you know 292 00:41:53.250 --> 00:42:04.620 Rick Wood: Dot our I's cross our t's. There were some additional retirements and staffing changes that we needed to make. So those are reflective those added up to $95,259 293 00:42:06.150 --> 00:42:17.070 Rick Wood: So we still needed to get to the bigger picture, based on my my reductions in local resources and state aid, we still needed to make for the reductions. 294 00:42:17.910 --> 00:42:28.410

Rick Wood: So right now, again, these are things that I'm presenting to tonight. Again, his cabinet begins as we get more information. We will continue to analyze this, this may change tomorrow. 295 00:42:29.310 --> 00:42:43.320 Rick Wood: Based on what we see and and or here. But right now, what we're doing is for the pre K pilot we've removed the driver we've removed the bus aid and we've actually removed the bus. 296 00:42:44.340 --> 00:42:49.650 Rick Wood: So we are still planning to move forward with that but not provide transportation 297 00:42:50.310 --> 00:42:50.610 So, 298 00:42:51.630 --> 00:42:53.730 Gary Bracken: How is that going to work actually for 299 00:42:55.200 --> 00:43:02.880 Gary Bracken: Those this families. I think we thought were most impacted by this with the most impacted by not being able to have transportation 300 00:43:04.170 --> 00:43:07.590 Rick Wood: It's a wait and see. I don't tie. If you want to maybe address that. 301 00:43:08.550 --> 00:43:24.390 Ty Zinkiewich: Yeah, I think what our plan is moving forward is if this is the final decision we have a Pre K program with a transportation, then we would read canvas, the individuals that have already expressed an interest from that community that were originally serving the community. 302 00:43:25.680 --> 00:43:31.290 Ty Zinkiewich: And then just to see where we stand with those individuals before we open it up to the rest of the school district. 303 00:43:33.300 --> 00:43:49.590 Gary Bracken: And I know I'm getting way, way, way ahead here, but is there a way for us to do stuff like Dan has done with the Spence for foundation to find a way to provide that kind of transportation, either through volunteer efforts or otherwise. 304 00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:55.470

Ty Zinkiewich: Yeah, I don't know if that's a question that I'm equipped to answer. 305 00:43:57.120 --> 00:44:01.530 Rick Wood: I'm not sure I'm equipped to answer it either. I, in my opinion, no. 306 00:44:02.580 --> 00:44:05.550 Rick Wood: I don't know how anyone other than 307 00:44:07.170 --> 00:44:12.510 Rick Wood: Either the parent, guardian or our transportation department would take those children. 308 00:44:13.230 --> 00:44:14.430 Rick Wood: wreck. Yeah. 309 00:44:14.790 --> 00:44:15.570 Greg Kincaid: This is Greg. 310 00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:24.540 Greg Kincaid: Hi Greg, are you doing so I'm looking at the pre K pilot up there. What is the dollar amount 311 00:44:25.710 --> 00:44:29.520 Greg Kincaid: If you did not have a bus driver, a bus aid or a bus. 312 00:44:31.830 --> 00:44:37.500 Rick Wood: So the bus itself is 130 $7,127 313 00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:40.230 Rick Wood: Let's see if I can 314 00:44:42.510 --> 00:44:43.320 Rick Wood: The 315 00:44:45.900 --> 00:44:49.050 Rick Wood: Driver and the aid is about 316 00:44:50.070 --> 00:44:52.050 Rick Wood: 30 about $32,000

317 00:44:53.040 --> 00:44:53.370 Okay. 318 00:44:55.230 --> 00:44:55.560 David Gibbardo: Record. 319 00:44:58.830 --> 00:44:59.400 Rick Wood: DAVE Go ahead. 320 00:44:59.670 --> 00:45:06.930 David Gibbardo: Okay, so, or for any I guess cabinet since athletics is kind of muddy water right now. 321 00:45:08.130 --> 00:45:26.430 David Gibbardo: Are we looking at, do we still have a PT and OT, PT, OT, but the athletic trainers and some other auxiliary athletic people on our staff that maybe we could look at for next year since athletes such a stumbling ground right now. I know we have 322 00:45:28.470 --> 00:45:33.330 David Gibbardo: Some sports trainers and some other people in the athletic department can help me out here. 323 00:45:34.050 --> 00:45:40.230 Rick Wood: So we do we have contracts, whether you have our so we have the trainer and we have the strength and conditioning coach. 324 00:45:40.350 --> 00:45:40.830 Right. 325 00:45:41.850 --> 00:45:44.250 Rick Wood: That is not part of this particular 326 00:45:45.720 --> 00:45:46.830 Rick Wood: Update, Dave. 327 00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:47.160 But 328 00:45:49.020 --> 00:45:58.020

Rick Wood: A little bit later on we're going to talk about how we address if we were to get impacted and withholding state aid and everything's on the table. 329 00:45:58.140 --> 00:45:59.670 Rick Wood: That that right so 330 00:45:59.790 --> 00:46:02.670 Rick Wood: That is an area that we would look at 331 00:46:04.260 --> 00:46:12.420 Rick Wood: To really sort of, again, we're trying to look at. We have to reduce up to 600 and 1000 we're going to have different tiers or buckets. 332 00:46:12.900 --> 00:46:28.800 Rick Wood: That we can feel that we feel, yes, we could do this right away. No, this would be a little bit more difficult. And this then you know the third tier would be, you know, we'd be instruction, we'd be impacting instruction and right 333 00:46:29.970 --> 00:46:33.720 Rick Wood: But it on the table as we start looking at additional potential reductions. 334 00:46:35.670 --> 00:46:36.360 Rick Wood: Good question. 335 00:46:37.170 --> 00:46:48.870 Gary Bracken: I guess, I guess, I guess, Rick and sensing, maybe I'm overly sensing this, but I think it's pre K thing is a pretty big deal. And it was based on 336 00:46:49.410 --> 00:47:05.280 Gary Bracken: Some pretty good data and pretty good understanding of some of the situations. Our families in the district are encountering and stuff. So if there are ways to be extremely innovative in how we are able to get this done. 337 00:47:06.630 --> 00:47:07.620 Gary Bracken: That was 338 00:47:08.730 --> 00:47:19.410

Gary Bracken: Again, through volunteer efforts, the foundation and other things. I know that's not necessarily in your purview, but we need to be making sure we're we're considering. 339 00:47:20.040 --> 00:47:29.460 Gary Bracken: Those kinds of things before we you know we get too far down the road of this isn't going to happen just or, or at least the transportation part is 340 00:47:31.260 --> 00:47:31.410 Daniel Milgate: And 341 00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:37.740 Rick Wood: Again, we'll, we'll take that into consideration as we go back and, you know, based on your feedback. Tonight begin to look at 342 00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:41.850 Rick Wood: You know some of those things. Dan, are tied. You want to come in for 343 00:47:42.180 --> 00:47:47.250 Daniel Milgate: Just a couple things up. So Gary, we, we actually struggled with this a lot, but the 344 00:47:47.940 --> 00:47:54.330 Daniel Milgate: The transportation piece. Remember, we would be one of the only districts that actually provides transportation for a Pre K program. 345 00:47:54.930 --> 00:48:01.110 Daniel Milgate: And that was important and that's why Rick and Chris and did a great job of putting that out there for us, especially the population, we're looking at 346 00:48:01.860 --> 00:48:11.250 Daniel Milgate: But the other reason we like the transportation is I think the some of the things we're gonna have to think about is the financial status of our community coming up right with all the 347 00:48:11.820 --> 00:48:27.900 Daniel Milgate: You know we got a number of people actually not working, and we were actually looking at the impact of the tax cap, as well as tax rate and the non purchase of the bus actually does help us there. A little bit, which we're I think we're going to show it a little bit.

348 00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:28.830 Daniel Milgate: Or at least 349 00:48:29.340 --> 00:48:37.860 Daniel Milgate: Reference that in this presentation so well. We were hoping to do is still get the program going with the idea of going back to transportation 350 00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:48.630 Daniel Milgate: In the following year, and finding a way to make that work, but not cut it off. But to be honest with you when Rick talks about the other 600,000 if we talked about a strategy. 351 00:48:49.380 --> 00:48:58.020 Daniel Milgate: And that we want to be prepared for a complete take back. We got a lot more to talk about in terms of expenses to cut. So it's a tough one. 352 00:48:59.520 --> 00:48:59.790 Michael Miceli: Again, 353 00:49:00.210 --> 00:49:02.100 Daniel Milgate: Tom was not happy with us this morning. 354 00:49:03.180 --> 00:49:17.670 Jody Gillette: This is a tough one but just to voice. This is God, by the way, just to voice a couple more comments regarding the peak Pre K program one if there's any way for us to know whether this population of folks can provide 355 00:49:18.810 --> 00:49:24.300 Jody Gillette: Transportation for the year that would be helpful to know if most 10 maybe this isn't a big deal to us. 356 00:49:24.690 --> 00:49:38.760 Jody Gillette: If none of them camera or a low percentage can that's a much bigger deal. Also, as we all know, whenever we try and do reductions we try and keep reductions away from direct impact to the student if this reduction. 357 00:49:39.390 --> 00:49:49.140 Jody Gillette: Literally takes away the possibility that a student can go to school at all. To me that's significant and I'd want to make sure that I had exhausted all the other alternatives.

358 00:49:49.590 --> 00:49:56.760 Jody Gillette: Before I prevent a child that otherwise needs to be part of this pre k program from participating. So those are some quick comments. 359 00:49:56.940 --> 00:50:05.010 Daniel Milgate: Not good point and Ty I don't think your survey son, whether they would or wouldn't. I think it was, would they take advantage of it. 360 00:50:06.270 --> 00:50:16.650 Ty Zinkiewich: No, it, it didn't include that, I think, you know, some individuals have vacillated I think some of the family structure may have changed. I think just availability to transport may have changed as well so 361 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:25.440 Ty Zinkiewich: Once we have the final say. It can be as early as this week, we can read canvas. The individuals have already committed to the program. 362 00:50:26.040 --> 00:50:34.290 Ty Zinkiewich: CF transportation is an option for them, meaning that they can self transport their child, and that this could be a moot point 363 00:50:34.830 --> 00:50:43.680 Ty Zinkiewich: I don't think we're going to get hundred percent, just to be very candid with everyone because I think there would be some individuals that would preclude the dissipating 364 00:50:45.330 --> 00:50:49.320 Daniel Milgate: Let us look into that God and then obviously that can be part of our follow up. 365 00:50:50.790 --> 00:50:51.720 Daniel Milgate: Okay, thank you. 366 00:50:53.250 --> 00:50:55.080 Daniel Milgate: Sorry. Nope, that's 367 00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:57.570 Rick Wood: So the next item.

368 00:50:58.830 --> 00:51:13.230 Rick Wood: We allocate $150,000 to on the expense side as well as the use of the reserve again. My feeling is that we're going to have to begin really looking at reserves, especially in 369 00:51:15.090 --> 00:51:16.020 Rick Wood: And therefore, 370 00:51:17.460 --> 00:51:25.320 Rick Wood: I think the best option at this point is to take that out of the budget. So we're lowering the budget. We're also launching the use of the reserves that I think we're going to need 371 00:51:26.640 --> 00:51:28.080 Rick Wood: At least 2122 372 00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:38.430 Rick Wood: And then again, something that we looked at, and had a discussion and made a change today was again to help with funding the 373 00:51:40.110 --> 00:51:51.090 Rick Wood: Pre K teacher and classroom aid we instead reduced a portion of the record act board record exports and installation to offset that. 374 00:51:52.380 --> 00:51:56.550 Rick Wood: So any additional questions or follow up on the additional reductions. 375 00:51:57.630 --> 00:52:01.320 Jody Gillette: Know, but that 380 was a total amount. Correct. This is God again. 376 00:52:03.930 --> 00:52:04.920 Rick Wood: Yeah, totally. 377 00:52:04.950 --> 00:52:08.010 Jody Gillette: Correct. So you had mentioned some pre K numbers. 378 00:52:08.040 --> 00:52:11.580 Jody Gillette: That added up to somewhere in the 170 and 379 00:52:11.940 --> 00:52:12.540

Rick Wood: That was, yeah. 380 00:52:12.720 --> 00:52:23.280 Rick Wood: Yeah, the 380 is the combination of the pre k the hundred and 50 in the classroom and the reduction in the record exports and installation in total that's 380,000 381 00:52:23.790 --> 00:52:27.600 Jody Gillette: So it sounds like your last two bullets. We get 211,000 back roughly 382 00:52:29.040 --> 00:52:30.660 Rick Wood: About that little bit last year. 383 00:52:31.140 --> 00:52:32.220 Rick Wood: Okay, yep. 384 00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:45.960 Daniel Milgate: And Jody, these two columns that Rick has set up there, the to the the areas where we could reduce that gap that we have a 436 right dollars he showed us earlier slide. 385 00:52:47.370 --> 00:52:53.040 Jody Gillette: Right, I'm just calling out that the pre K pilot is only about one little under 170,000 386 00:52:54.450 --> 00:52:56.610 Daniel Milgate: For the bus portion and the driver need 387 00:52:56.610 --> 00:52:59.250 Jody Gillette: Yeah. Okay. Great. Good, thank you. 388 00:53:02.520 --> 00:53:05.730 Rick Wood: OK, so moving on. I mentioned 389 00:53:07.140 --> 00:53:09.900 Rick Wood: How we're going to use the use of reserves, we're going to 390 00:53:11.610 --> 00:53:23.610 Rick Wood: Begin using the retirement contribution for TRS that we set up last year. We're going to infuse that the budget with 240 8000 and then you're seeing the reduction of the hundred and 50,000 of the classroom furniture.

391 00:53:24.630 --> 00:53:31.080 Rick Wood: So on the 24th and throughout. We had projected 1.9 million. We're now a little over 2 million 392 00:53:37.350 --> 00:53:46.140 Rick Wood: So what does that do to the overall levy based on what we're sharing with you tonight the expenditures are at four, six almost 84 seven 393 00:53:47.040 --> 00:53:54.120 Rick Wood: When you take a look at the revenue with a state, federal local and other that's 43.3 so the amount of balance the budget is 41.3 394 00:53:55.110 --> 00:54:15.930 Rick Wood: I just shared we're using a little over $2 million in reserves, which equals a tax levy amount of 39 to 39 or 34 with the exclusion of the boss that did lower the tax cap. Allowable levy limit. So it as of right now, we are $573 under the allowable lobby limit. 395 00:54:16.650 --> 00:54:17.190 Gary Bracken: So right 396 00:54:17.850 --> 00:54:24.180 Gary Bracken: Yes, another bus for Pre K thing or an exclusive a bus in general. 397 00:54:24.870 --> 00:54:26.520 Rick Wood: It's the exclusion of the pre K, but 398 00:54:27.870 --> 00:54:48.480 Rick Wood: If you so if you want if for this next slide, you can see what I'm talking about. What changed was instead of on the first column. That's what it was prior to coming to you tonight. So we had a 3.34% increase with a maximum allowable levy limit of 39 376 734 399 00:54:49.710 --> 00:55:00.780 Rick Wood: With the exclusion of the pre K boss, what happened is you see a number eight that went down by 137 127 it went down the cost of the bus. 400 00:55:05.040 --> 00:55:12.030 Gary Bracken: So do we need. And again, I'm sorry. Do we need to include a new bus in the calculations for the

401 00:55:14.340 --> 00:55:16.080 Rick Wood: Well, what we're presenting you tonight. 402 00:55:16.410 --> 00:55:17.580 Gary Bracken: operational expenses. 403 00:55:19.830 --> 00:55:26.220 Rick Wood: Well, I'm not sure I understand your question, Gary, but with what we're presenting tonight we excluded the bus. 404 00:55:27.510 --> 00:55:31.200 Rick Wood: When you exclude the bus that's part of the exclusion. 405 00:55:32.460 --> 00:55:37.080 Gary Bracken: Excluding a new boss or excluding the use of a current bus. 406 00:55:37.830 --> 00:55:42.120 Rick Wood: So the pre K boss was an additional bus for us. That's what we're not purchasing now. 407 00:55:43.110 --> 00:55:44.460 Gary Bracken: Okay. Thanks. Okay. 408 00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:46.170 Michael Miceli: Any other questions. 409 00:55:48.060 --> 00:55:54.510 Michael Miceli: Real quick. So our maximum allowable living is going down by the exact amount of the bus. 410 00:55:55.830 --> 00:55:56.370 Rick Wood: Correct. 411 00:55:57.090 --> 00:56:02.460 Michael Miceli: So if we went out and we just bought an extra bus that would be covered in total body. 412 00:56:03.990 --> 00:56:05.760 Michael Miceli: Or what we could grow our 413

00:56:06.870 --> 00:56:07.380 Rick Wood: Yes. 414 00:56:11.970 --> 00:56:17.760 Michael Miceli: I'll ask questions about this offline and say, understand why we would go that way, but I'll take it offline. Thank you. 415 00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:19.230 Okay. 416 00:56:23.580 --> 00:56:31.080 Rick Wood: So based on what we're sharing with you tonight. This is what happens to the lobby. And I think to Dan's point earlier. 417 00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:47.640 Rick Wood: You know, I think this is one of the things that hasn't been because of all the other things that have occurred. We've not had a lot of discussion about what happens to the tax rates, especially given you've got two towns, going to a lower than 100% equalization 418 00:56:48.750 --> 00:57:05.640 Rick Wood: So you can see that with the changes that we've brought forward tonight he true value tax rate goes up to 24.27 so it's less than 1%. But again, recognize based on the changes in the in the equalization rates each town is going to be different. 419 00:57:07.080 --> 00:57:15.210 Rick Wood: So what I've tried to do is provide show you what happens with a $100,000 home $200,000 home and a $300,000 home. 420 00:57:23.820 --> 00:57:28.920 Rick Wood: Any questions as it relates to what the impact was to the assessments and tax rates. 421 00:57:33.390 --> 00:57:35.190 Rick Wood: Okay, so what's next. 422 00:57:36.270 --> 00:57:37.830 Rick Wood: So again, in my opinion. 423 00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:52.350 Rick Wood: We have to account for the mid year reduction is it going to be tied to the Federal cares restoration. We don't know yet. Some are saying yes, some are saying, no, I think we need to be

424 00:57:53.460 --> 00:58:14.640 Rick Wood: Looking at what happens if they do take money away from us. So what we're looking at is looking to take further reductions up to that $608,000 and we're going to do it, looking at different tiers. So what are the things that we could not do right away that may include a enrollment contingent 425 00:58:16.620 --> 00:58:25.830 Rick Wood: All the way to Dave, some of the things that you would identified earlier on, that may be an area that would be a Tier two or tier three. That's what we're still evaluating 426 00:58:27.030 --> 00:58:28.230 Rick Wood: There's very little. 427 00:58:29.970 --> 00:58:47.160 Rick Wood: Federal guidelines as to the Federal cares restoration. So do we have to tie the expenses to show that we're spending things related to the you know the current situation we're in. As it relates to the coronavirus 428 00:58:48.540 --> 00:58:58.020 Rick Wood: Or is it going to be similar to what we what happened back when we did the American reinvestment and recover react where all we have to do is show without this money. 429 00:58:59.550 --> 00:59:08.700 Rick Wood: We would have lost these particular jobs or we'd have not been able to do these particular things. We're still waiting for some guidance as to how best to identify that 430 00:59:09.870 --> 00:59:14.190 Rick Wood: Again, Kevin alluded to the budget votes. 431 00:59:16.650 --> 00:59:31.350 Rick Wood: The governor's executive order to 2.13 shared that they're going to postpone the elections, until at least June 1 there was further clarification that that did apply to budget votes, there's been no decision. 432 00:59:32.430 --> 00:59:48.840 Rick Wood: As to when that date will be, however, hypothetically, if it went to June 2. And again, this is something that New York State as Bo

group without you can see here the different due dates of when we would have to 433 00:59:50.460 --> 00:59:56.700 Rick Wood: approve a budget when we would have to go out. But this is all hypothetical until we know for sure what that date is 434 00:59:59.070 --> 01:00:01.140 Rick Wood: We continue to again try to make as 435 01:00:02.250 --> 01:00:10.890 Rick Wood: Informed decisions as we can. And then once the date is approved, they work backwards to determine when these particular dates come do 436 01:00:14.190 --> 01:00:18.630 Rick Wood: So with that, I'll open up to any further questions. 437 01:00:20.220 --> 01:00:29.550 Kevin Hutton: So Rick. Can you go back to the slide that showed the value of taxes per 100,000 200,000 $300,000 home. 438 01:00:32.340 --> 01:00:50.580 Kevin Hutton: So if we were to add. We're going to go along where Mike was headed with this if we added that bus back in. What was the likely variant for these homes, um, is it negligible. 439 01:00:51.930 --> 01:00:57.120 Rick Wood: Well, I'm not sure I would use that term given certain situations that some people are in Kevin 440 01:00:58.710 --> 01:01:02.880 Rick Wood: So for Ogden, it would be 3.31% 441 01:01:04.470 --> 01:01:07.020 Rick Wood: For gates, it would be minus 2.8% 442 01:01:08.070 --> 01:01:13.770 Rick Wood: For Greece, it would be 1.25% and Parma would be 4.38% 443 01:01:16.050 --> 01:01:29.580

Gary Bracken: Can I ask, is there a way for us to do our calculations, including preschool without that bus. Is there a way to work our transportation around that not having to do that. 444 01:01:31.530 --> 01:01:32.910 Rick Wood: Today, again, Gary, I'm sorry. 445 01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:39.030 Gary Bracken: So you've got it in the cost of a bus to that pre K calculation. 446 01:01:39.930 --> 01:01:41.070 Rick Wood: We took it out right 447 01:01:41.370 --> 01:01:48.570 Gary Bracken: Is there a way for us to do that pre k program without including calculation for that bus. 448 01:01:50.550 --> 01:01:50.820 Gary Bracken: I 449 01:01:51.180 --> 01:02:09.660 Kevin Hutton: I'll follow up with that one. Gary, one of the meetings that you were not attending we found out that the pre K bus requires special I see evening. Therefore, we couldn't use a standard bus for it and we had to get a a unique bust or unique seats in those buses. 450 01:02:10.950 --> 01:02:13.170 Gary Bracken: Thanks. I didn't know we don't have one like that right now. 451 01:02:14.370 --> 01:02:15.780 Rick Wood: No, we don't. 452 01:02:16.740 --> 01:02:17.070 Okay. 453 01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:24.450 Jody Gillette: And both us to doesn't have a bus like that that we can work with them on. 454 01:02:25.200 --> 01:02:28.860

Rick Wood: Not that I'm aware of. Both these two dozen transport, we'd have to go through both he's one 455 01:02:31.140 --> 01:02:34.530 Rick Wood: Something that we didn't think I didn't think of God. I could certainly look into it but 456 01:02:35.820 --> 01:02:37.200 Rick Wood: I don't know that they provide that 457 01:02:40.380 --> 01:02:42.270 Rick Wood: So I just you guys realize that 458 01:02:43.890 --> 01:02:51.690 Rick Wood: Whatever we decide to put back as it relates to pre K. We're going to have to pull something out. So it's going to be painful. Either way, 459 01:02:55.050 --> 01:02:55.380 Daniel Milgate: But 460 01:02:55.770 --> 01:02:56.670 Daniel Milgate: I think what I'm hearing 461 01:02:56.970 --> 01:03:10.260 Daniel Milgate: From the board, though, is the. They also I think the pre k program support is what I'm hearing and, you know, so what we were trying to look at is that lens of the tax rate as well. 462 01:03:11.670 --> 01:03:22.590 Daniel Milgate: And, you know, directly or indirectly, however you want to look at it, Gary. That was one of the things we looked at, it's almost up point 4.4 or five decrease 463 01:03:22.950 --> 01:03:32.340 Daniel Milgate: In a potential tax rate for some of those folks and Kevin, to your point, I don't know what the exact variances on those different values of homes or forecast values. 464 01:03:32.790 --> 01:03:38.460 Daniel Milgate: That's something we could put together just to show you, but ultimately that then becomes part of our 465

01:03:39.210 --> 01:03:54.090 Daniel Milgate: You know, whatever budget we put out. We've got to do a really good job of explaining that because it's going to be. You can see it's almost a 7% difference in the variance from one Township to another because of the assessment process and the true value. 466 01:03:55.320 --> 01:04:00.060 Gary Bracken: And I would offer up that we don't need to do that. I just want to make sure 467 01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:20.100 Gary Bracken: You guys have always been creative in terms of how to do this and overcome these obstacles, we may have to be more creative, again, I go back to the idea the you know the foundation, the thing. Dan that you've done with the meals and stuff, if there's a way for us to 468 01:04:21.930 --> 01:04:29.430 Gary Bracken: Bring community into this to the pre K thing a viable alternative. You know, I'd like to be able to explore those 469 01:04:30.450 --> 01:04:31.140 Katherine Czarnecki: And also, 470 01:04:31.230 --> 01:04:37.890 Katherine Czarnecki: Like I I am kind of devastated by this pre K thing I was really excited about it and 471 01:04:39.180 --> 01:04:50.160 Katherine Czarnecki: Have been really looking forward to and enjoying watching it come together and and talking about it. On the other hand, we, it's not something that we technically offer 472 01:04:50.940 --> 01:05:05.040 Katherine Czarnecki: Yet, and with all of the unknowns and kind of the tightening of the belt that we all see in the writing on the wall I i'm also kind of looking at 473 01:05:05.790 --> 01:05:21.450 Katherine Czarnecki: We don't want to do it halfway and and make promises. We can't deliver on because we know we're going to have these big financial issues coming our way. And that really does make me very nervous because I don't 474 01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:33.570

Katherine Czarnecki: You know, I don't want to make promises to a community on for which we can't deliver because we just don't have what we need to make it 475 01:05:34.860 --> 01:05:36.900 Katherine Czarnecki: The best that it can be so 476 01:05:38.130 --> 01:05:52.710 Katherine Czarnecki: It is it is devastating and I'm really trying to understand what Rick saying, but at the same time, I don't want to go halfway and then realize we don't have what we need to make it right for the kids that are going to utilize that 477 01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:55.500 Rick Wood: You ready. Yes. 478 01:05:55.590 --> 01:06:08.820 David Gibbardo: Oh, so my only reservation and Kate. I like what you said it made a lot of sense. And I agree in part what you're saying. But the other thing is the pre K is a pilot and who knows next year. 479 01:06:09.780 --> 01:06:18.390 David Gibbardo: What's going to happen with a lot of things, including a pre k. So, I will have little reservation about buying a bus for a pilot program. 480 01:06:19.650 --> 01:06:33.390 David Gibbardo: If it's successful in whatever way we can make it roll this year. Great. If we do adapt to for your long term, permanent thing, then I might be little bit more easy to justify buying a bus for the program, but 481 01:06:33.840 --> 01:06:43.320 David Gibbardo: All things being equal, I know Christian and tie and cabinet and lot of people in district for a lot of work into the pre k program but unforeseen circumstances. 482 01:06:43.860 --> 01:06:55.590 David Gibbardo: The program will do as good as it's going to be, but next year we are no cars. We're going to hold and the spend that money on a bus today for a one year gamble. I got my reservations. 483 01:06:57.000 --> 01:06:57.240 Gary Bracken: So,

484 01:06:57.810 --> 01:06:58.710 Michael Miceli: I've been trying to 485 01:06:59.100 --> 01:07:05.370 Gary Bracken: I'm going to kind of jump in and back pedal, a little bit, I think, Kate, you know, Cape point is very well taken. 486 01:07:06.600 --> 01:07:22.260 Gary Bracken: We are kind of a community where if we start something we we finish it. We carry through with it, Dave. To your point, it would be, it would be terrible to make big investments on something that just unable to 487 01:07:23.310 --> 01:07:25.440 Gary Bracken: carry through on so yeah 488 01:07:26.400 --> 01:07:27.600 Michael Miceli: The point. Hey, this is Mike 489 01:07:29.310 --> 01:07:37.290 Michael Miceli: I just, just want to throw it out there. Since we're all sharing our opinions. I have no problem with the proposal. It's been pushed forward without transportation by our leaders. 490 01:07:38.520 --> 01:07:48.630 Michael Miceli: These times are unprecedented in terms of what's going on in society and what we could be facing the truth is, is we really don't know what's going to happen and 491 01:07:49.380 --> 01:08:00.990 Michael Miceli: Hard time spending money on a pilot. If we really don't know what next year is going to hold. So I'm on I support what we're doing. We're preparing for sure right now. 492 01:08:02.790 --> 01:08:03.330 Michael Miceli: We're waiting 493 01:08:04.710 --> 01:08:06.870 Michael Miceli: We're waiting a year makes no difference to me. 494 01:08:07.080 --> 01:08:22.590 Michael Miceli: Until we get more information on what's going on. I don't mean that the disrespect the work and the hard work that people are put

into this and or any of the teachers that have been lined up to teach this class. It's not about that. It's this is just about. There's so much we don't know. 495 01:08:23.460 --> 01:08:32.310 Michael Miceli: There's my opinion I like with the proposed because really radio and see what happens because we could all this stuff could end up on the chopping block next year, too. 496 01:08:35.280 --> 01:08:43.680 Jody Gillette: I understand all of these points. These are tough tough decisions and you know I appreciate how difficult that was however 497 01:08:44.460 --> 01:08:59.370 Jody Gillette: I'm stopping this pilot takes students away from an education. So this one's important and I don't know what other options there are what we've proposed is buying a bus for the pilot. I don't know if there are options for 498 01:09:00.390 --> 01:09:12.120 Jody Gillette: borrowing a bus that meets these needs or engaging in a transportations one year service that provides transportation. I don't know if there is community outreach and 499 01:09:12.510 --> 01:09:20.460 Jody Gillette: Altering current buses in order to handle the seating that's required if there are other options that fulfill the need to 500 01:09:21.420 --> 01:09:33.540 Jody Gillette: Have children be able to get to our school for this education. I would just welcome investigating some things that we've never investigated before or that we may have used before and didn't come up in this conversation. 501 01:09:34.260 --> 01:09:50.370 Rick Wood: So I just want to elaborate something that quite honestly just went right over my head and it gets back to Gary and Jodi's point. So originally in the bus replacement. We were buying a new boss, which was an additional bus. 502 01:09:52.440 --> 01:10:00.180 Rick Wood: To Julie and Chris's credit. There were also we were going to trade in a box. But we kept that and they're 503 01:10:00.900 --> 01:10:13.170

Rick Wood: They're essentially making it so that it's sort of a second bus for us that could transport students. I believe I want to double check that. So that may alleviate that but I'm just going to go back and share with you guys that 504 01:10:14.610 --> 01:10:26.130 Rick Wood: You guys want to add something like this, I get the importance of it, but something else is going to have to fall off and then you include another $608,000 that, quite honestly. 505 01:10:26.850 --> 01:10:38.670 Rick Wood: We need to look at in case the state doesn't otherwise there's going to be mid year cuts and I think that gets to Dan's point earlier of districts are doing this completely differently so 506 01:10:39.300 --> 01:10:47.310 Rick Wood: God I fully understand and I support the instruction leads are the kids, but something else is going to have to fall. 507 01:10:49.620 --> 01:10:59.790 Daniel Milgate: So why don't we Jody, I like your suggestion of getting a barometer of the actual impact and ties already offered up looking into that. I'm pretty sure is what I heard earlier. 508 01:11:00.930 --> 01:11:06.060 Daniel Milgate: And why don't we do that first to see what the actual impact is without the boss. 509 01:11:07.230 --> 01:11:15.300 Daniel Milgate: Cuz I think I do think it's a balance. It's, it's, we also wherever we land with a budget. We gotta get that approved to and 510 01:11:16.380 --> 01:11:23.190 Daniel Milgate: I don't know what's going to happen between now and June 1 or whatever the governor tells us that we can finally vote on a budget. 511 01:11:23.700 --> 01:11:33.960 Daniel Milgate: And how we're going to vote, which we haven't heard of it at the end there. So some interesting things that we got to keep an eye on. But that might be a good starting point for us with this and then 512 01:11:35.160 --> 01:11:45.630 Daniel Milgate: You know Rick and I decided not to share the the tiered list that we've developed with cabinet and administration through recommendations at this point.

513 01:11:46.260 --> 01:12:01.200 Daniel Milgate: Mainly to get a better handle on how how much of that do we really need to work on now versus what we could do, actually, the year that doesn't have a full year impact and how do we look at that. So there's a there's a lot of homework to do. So this so 514 01:12:03.210 --> 01:12:06.660 Daniel Milgate: That sounds like a good next step or any other questions. 515 01:12:07.050 --> 01:12:16.320 Greg Kincaid: Yeah, I would just, just to add to what you said, Dan. I'd like to see what Ty finds out what kind of a need, is transportation 516 01:12:16.830 --> 01:12:24.000 Greg Kincaid: You know, because I know a lot of parents already with kindergarten and first graders, they'd like to drop their kids off. 517 01:12:24.390 --> 01:12:36.300 Greg Kincaid: You know you'd like to transport their kids to school with this pre k program if we find out that if we didn't provide transportation in the the families are still invested in the program. 518 01:12:38.040 --> 01:12:42.300 Greg Kincaid: You know that that would be good information for us to look at to see what kind of impact that would have 519 01:12:43.980 --> 01:12:44.250 Greg Kincaid: No. 520 01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:47.880 Jody Gillette: Right, thank you for the additional investigation. 521 01:12:48.510 --> 01:12:48.870 Yep. 522 01:12:51.240 --> 01:12:53.880 Daniel Milgate: Other questions. Other questions in general. 523 01:12:56.760 --> 01:13:00.510 Michael Miceli: Dan, I have a general question. It's tangential to budget.

524 01:13:02.100 --> 01:13:07.080 Michael Miceli: Are they there has been a moratorium on construction, will our capital projects. 525 01:13:08.130 --> 01:13:12.000 Michael Miceli: begin construction as they usually would, in the springtime. 526 01:13:14.130 --> 01:13:16.860 Michael Miceli: If we don't go back to school. Can they started 527 01:13:18.120 --> 01:13:24.300 Daniel Milgate: Yeah, actually in tonight's consent agenda. You guys approve the partial yes to that question. 528 01:13:25.260 --> 01:13:34.890 Daniel Milgate: Which is we're moving forward with our PA system at Bernie elementary, I think, you know, we already did the specificity for the flooring at district office. 529 01:13:35.550 --> 01:13:51.390 Daniel Milgate: We were already in that process when they first came out with that executive order and so like we're following the guidelines of as long as we're reading the social distancing and safety expectations Kevin actually had that question for me earlier today. 530 01:13:52.410 --> 01:13:59.610 Daniel Milgate: But we're also closely monitoring it campus construction standing close with with us and Rick's in touch with them. 531 01:14:01.710 --> 01:14:02.610 Daniel Milgate: Just drew a blank. Correct. 532 01:14:04.230 --> 01:14:04.590 Daniel Milgate: The 533 01:14:07.860 --> 01:14:17.130 Daniel Milgate: First Bernie Donovan's office to make sure that we're following the guidelines around that. So, so we'll keep on top of it. But right now, we're actually 534 01:14:18.090 --> 01:14:25.500

Daniel Milgate: I don't want to misrepresent this correctly cherry say this right. We're actually not that far off schedule with our campus had us 535 01:14:26.340 --> 01:14:34.680 Daniel Milgate: If we start getting into the after June time period, and we can't get the work done. And now we're getting into our site work and all the road work and 536 01:14:35.160 --> 01:14:49.320 Daniel Milgate: In the classroom renovations at one elementary school, I think, then we got to start looking at how it's impacting our timeline and the value of the project. So I don't know if I said that. Exactly right. But I think that's where we left off with my last ECM. 537 01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:51.540 Rick Wood: Know you nailed it. 538 01:14:52.560 --> 01:15:08.850 Gary Bracken: I thought I was putting out some information into construction on school projects for the most part was going to be allowed to go forward. I MEAN, CONSTRUCTION in a general sense for a lot of different commercial and even some residential is exempt from 539 01:15:09.930 --> 01:15:12.330 Gary Bracken: The governor's orders and stuff. 540 01:15:13.740 --> 01:15:15.990 Kevin Hutton: Dan, I'm gonna jump in with this long. 541 01:15:16.110 --> 01:15:31.740 Kevin Hutton: Enough being in the construction industry what the executive order or the Empire State Development Agency said what was if it is essential to 542 01:15:33.480 --> 01:15:50.760 Kevin Hutton: The code response or to your mission, then it can proceed, but can only proceed if you are able to maintain social distancing well social destiny taking on a construction project is next to impossible to do so. 543 01:15:51.780 --> 01:16:10.290 Kevin Hutton: I hope those same those restrictions are going to change a little bit them, but right now it's really difficult to say that, um,

some of the work we're doing is essential to that the covert response or infrastructure electric 544 01:16:10.950 --> 01:16:13.680 Gary Bracken: Other guy. Well, essential to our mission, though. 545 01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:25.170 Gary Bracken: And I know our company is going through that and we're fairly widespread exemptions to get to and from work if they actually have to go to work, versus teleworking 546 01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:37.080 Gary Bracken: And no, I'm not going to try to pretend on the construction thing but no social distancing face Matt face coverings know mass, the face coverings and those kinds of things. 547 01:16:38.820 --> 01:16:43.680 Gary Bracken: I'm having a hard time understanding how outdoor especially outdoor construction projects can proceed. 548 01:16:46.380 --> 01:16:57.390 Daniel Milgate: So, so right now we're doing what we've been advised that we can do and the campus is comfortable doing. I guess is the way I would say it. And what we're going to do. Gary is working with campus. 549 01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:05.940 Daniel Milgate: Lavelle on that. So, but as of our last meeting. We didn't feel like we were going to fall behind. And you know, I think that 550 01:17:06.450 --> 01:17:20.940 Daniel Milgate: What we'll do is we'll keep getting the updates and news and notes and where we're at. I think the only thing we we aren't doing all that we were going to do as well. No, we finished the ceiling tiles that burned me. Right, right. We started those only finished them. 551 01:17:21.660 --> 01:17:28.350 Rick Wood: Yeah, the cord or at Barnaby and then we're continuing the work that you approve tonight was to finish up the PA system. 552 01:17:28.890 --> 01:17:35.130 Daniel Milgate: Right and some of those are actually ahead of schedule as a result of our situation that we're at 553 01:17:36.240 --> 01:17:50.520

Daniel Milgate: We weren't going to actually get those done probably until you know mid June when we started i know i think we were going to start actually last week, we got started a little bit earlier, we're going to start over. April recess. 554 01:17:53.760 --> 01:18:01.560 Daniel Milgate: So I'm optimistic about the schedule, Gary. So, but as we learn more about it, we'll make sure we check on that stuff and 555 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:13.440 Daniel Milgate: I think Kevin's question earlier today was, but I heard other districts are and that's true. I'm just not. I'm not familiar with their projects, the type of work and what they have. 556 01:18:13.950 --> 01:18:23.520 Daniel Milgate: And so their decisions might be based on the actual the scope of the project. And, you know, our scope coming up. I agree with you. It's outside 557 01:18:24.240 --> 01:18:32.370 Daniel Milgate: We could probably make a case about it being safety and an essential with the road work and that was that's probably 70% of our work on this project. 558 01:18:36.540 --> 01:18:37.440 Kevin Hutton: agree with that. 559 01:18:40.200 --> 01:18:41.100 Daniel Milgate: So we're good shape. 560 01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:51.360 Kevin Hutton: So anything else you want to cover about where that the status of 561 01:18:53.610 --> 01:18:54.510 Kevin Hutton: The whole community. 562 01:18:56.610 --> 01:19:05.610 Daniel Milgate: You know, I think this is a incredibly tough time I'll just say in general that what you guys said earlier about everyone pulling together is exactly what we're experiencing. 563 01:19:06.870 --> 01:19:08.370 Daniel Milgate: Ty Jamie Rick and I

564 01:19:09.420 --> 01:19:20.190 Daniel Milgate: You know, or clerical staff would not sharing with you guys have not to share them with us every time she gets one of those really positive emails messages from the community, they can. As for everything we're doing 565 01:19:21.420 --> 01:19:21.990 Daniel Milgate: You know I 566 01:19:23.430 --> 01:19:31.140 Daniel Milgate: shared some important information about ties accomplishments and news and notes. A couple weeks ago, I can't tell you how many school districts 567 01:19:31.980 --> 01:19:42.570 Daniel Milgate: Where teachers work in another district and their parents and our district in our side were spot on and appreciate all the work that we've done and 568 01:19:43.140 --> 01:19:57.510 Daniel Milgate: But I'm also a realist and know that this is a long haul. If we go through this for 567 more weeks, then you know we got to be ready for you know more and more challenges. And that's what we're really trying to do is stay out of the curve as best as possible so 569 01:19:58.740 --> 01:20:08.760 Daniel Milgate: And I think everyone's working in that direction. So your updates of our updates earlier appreciative, because that's how many wheels are on every single day and 570 01:20:09.750 --> 01:20:16.560 Daniel Milgate: Jamie Riptide. I said, well, we're all trying to figure out why do we feel like we're working more hours now than we ever have. 571 01:20:17.100 --> 01:20:31.110 Daniel Milgate: And, you know, we're not in the office. It's crazy, but we'll just, you know, our families are getting someone from sitting in our seats on zoom all day long. And that's what we're doing, you know, just like you and your so but I'm incredibly proud to spend support. 572 01:20:32.130 --> 01:20:40.320 Daniel Milgate: You know, not just the food delivery. That's the instruction. It's facilities. Everyone dealing with new work environment and can't thank everybody enough

573 01:20:48.240 --> 01:20:49.110 Daniel Milgate: We're not hearing it. 574 01:20:54.780 --> 01:20:55.470 Kevin Hutton: All done. Damn. 575 01:20:57.030 --> 01:20:57.570 Daniel Milgate: Yeah. 576 01:20:58.740 --> 01:21:05.910 Kevin Hutton: Okay, so our next item. It is meeting evaluation. How did we do guys 577 01:21:07.650 --> 01:21:09.990 Kevin Hutton: I see a thumbs up. I see a head nod. 578 01:21:10.230 --> 01:21:11.490 Gary Bracken: Yeah, I think I did pretty good. 579 01:21:12.630 --> 01:21:25.950 Kevin Hutton: One of the things I'm going to ask is, we have 12 attendees right now that have joined into to listen in, and view our, our session, I asked that that each of you. 580 01:21:26.820 --> 01:21:38.370 Kevin Hutton: I know most of you please send me an email to say how this worked for you see if there's anything that we can improve on your end, I'd appreciate hearing that, and how we can make this better. 581 01:21:38.670 --> 01:21:57.420 Kevin Hutton: For attendees, as well as the panelists, again, I apologize for how much time it took to get this started. We had some technical difficulties, to start with, but I think it worked out well. So I appreciate everyone's time and effort tonight. And do I have a motion to adjourn. 582 01:22:01.170 --> 01:22:02.670 Kevin Hutton: Gary first 583 01:22:02.730 --> 01:22:04.440 Seconded. Mike masoli
