High. 26 00:02:41,00 --> 00:02:47,17 The Medicaid corner Penfield that's if we can. Get this. 27 00:02:49,32 --> 00:02:53,04 And I want to thank you for allowing me to come and provide training and school 28 00:02:53,05 --> 00:02:57,82 support of Health Services Program otherwise known as Medicaid in education. 29 00:03:00,15 --> 00:03:06,52 This is state approved program that accesses Medicaid funds to assist schools with 30 00:03:06,89 --> 00:03:11,51 providing services to students who are medicaid eligible there are very specific 31 00:03:11,52 --> 00:03:17,01 guidelines in place to prevent fraud or abuse of the program all services and 32 00:03:17,02 --> 00:03:21,49 billing procedures have to comply with federal and state guidelines. 33 00:03:24,77 --> 00:03:29,29 Our Medicaid compliance committee includes Barbara Gregory the Medicaid Compliance 34 00:03:29,30 --> 00:03:34,54 Officer Scott drash there Bill Maloney and myself and we meet periodically to 35 00:03:34,55 --> 00:03:39,20 review alerts establish best practices and procedures and review our compliance 36 00:03:39,21 --> 00:03:46,03 plan. And anyone who suspects waste fraud or abuse is obligated to 37 00:03:46,04 --> 00:03:52,31 report it these concerns may be reported to Barbara via e-mail phone or letter. 38 00:03:53,95 --> 00:03:57,23 And also to the office of Medicaid inspector general. 39 00:04:00,79 --> 00:04:07,26 There are ten services that are covered under this program. And Penfield the bill 40 00:04:07,27 --> 00:04:12,28 for speech language there be physical therapy and occupational therapy. We've made 41 00:04:12,29 --> 00:04:16,77 attempts to bill for other services Unfortunately the guidelines were designed 42 00:04:16,78 --> 00:04:21,58 better for doctors' offices than for school districts so we choose to avoid 43 00:04:21,59 --> 00:04:28,28 excessive data tracking requirements and cut back at these three services. The 44 00:04:28,29 --> 00:04:32,91 first requirement is to taint a one time written consent from the parents who made 45 00:04:32,92 --> 00:04:37,72 a conscious effort to collect these consents some people have the mis understanding 46 00:04:37,73 --> 00:04:38,54 that if 47 00:04:38,55 --> 00:04:43,48 a school district bills for these services they won't the student won't be able to 48 00:04:43,49 --> 00:04:48,15 benefit from other services but that is not so they have 49 00:04:48,16 --> 00:04:52,62 a different order written to cover those expenses so they will in that impact the 50 00:04:52,63 --> 00:04:57,34 other. Oprah is 51 00:04:57,51 --> 00:05:04,41 a quick application in which service providers fill out to describe their intent 52 00:05:04,45 --> 00:05:08,52 to comply with the guidelines of the program. 53 00:05:13,54 --> 00:05:16,75 If the providers must be certified unlicensed and have 54 00:05:16,76 --> 00:05:22,56 a national provider identifier number. There are qualified individuals with lesser 55 00:05:22,57 --> 00:05:29,28 credentials who may work under the direction of licensed and certified provider but 56 00:05:29,29 --> 00:05:34,42 the agencies where our students are placed on manage these documents for their 57 00:05:34,43 --> 00:05:38,82 providers and keep us informed of their newest status and we keep track of our 58 00:05:38,83 --> 00:05:45,50 internal providers. He N.P.I. 59 00:05:45,51 --> 00:05:46,47 Number is 60 00:05:46,51 --> 00:05:53,29 a number that is used by him but entities and it maintains privacy for the 61 00:05:53,30 --> 00:05:59,36 health care providers and also. Is a provides 62 00:05:59,37 --> 00:06:05,67 a national database provider so that we can keep track of who's up to date 63 00:06:06,40 --> 00:06:12,87 and what therapy they're providing service for. There is 64 00:06:12,88 --> 00:06:19,74 a federal solution last. And there is no. This is to 65 00:06:19,78 --> 00:06:26,52 keep up with anyone who might have abused this process or has been 66 00:06:26,63 --> 00:06:32,43 charged with fraud and any provider that has. 67 00:06:33,90 --> 00:06:39,88 The list is we can't bill for their service so we have to go through it when we 68 00:06:39,89 --> 00:06:44,96 hire new people make sure they're not on that list. From time to time check it to 69 00:06:44,97 --> 00:06:49,63 be sure our No one that is involved with our students is on that list. 70 00:06:53,95 --> 00:07:00,69 These are all different types of issues that might prevent claims from being 71 00:07:01,14 --> 00:07:04,42 billable and fortunately we have 72 00:07:04,43 --> 00:07:09,25 a system that also checks things so we have 73 00:07:09,26 --> 00:07:15,08 a lot of different eyes on it and we keep track of make sure that none of those 74 00:07:16,06 --> 00:07:22,48 problems get put through the system. This year we did change 75 00:07:22,71 --> 00:07:29,56 our billing service bureau so we're using frontline education 76 00:07:30,27 --> 00:07:36,64 and that occurred I fact of seven one it allowed us to streamline our processes so 77 00:07:36,65 --> 00:07:43,51 that. Our special educators are using just one system and all our 78 00:07:43,52 --> 00:07:48,47 agencies are just using one system. Once we definitely made 79 00:07:48,48 --> 00:07:53,41 a decision to go with this we halted some of the inefficient processes that were in 80 00:07:53,42 --> 00:07:54,54 place and so we did have 81 00:07:54,55 --> 00:07:59,01 a little time that we had to catch up on that and also at the same time New York 82 00:07:59,02 --> 00:08:05,74 state change their Medicaid eligibility service so we have to go through 83 00:08:05,75 --> 00:08:10,41 a different channel now to determine who is eligible and who's not so these are all 84 00:08:10,42 --> 00:08:16,67 little changes that have occurred this year but we're all underway and in motion 85 00:08:16,68 --> 00:08:23,08 and seems to be working well. That's about all I have to give you for updates 86 00:08:23,83 --> 00:08:30,27 Does anybody have any questions you know that are. OK So is the former. 87 00:08:31,37 --> 00:08:38,34 Or retired speech language thought just to saw. What are the guidelines for saw 88 00:08:38,52 --> 00:08:45,16 for speech people here in the district for the Medicaid notes. They have to 89 00:08:45,17 --> 00:08:52,07 have you would have to have your documents in with me I would meet you 90 00:08:52,57 --> 00:08:59,42 and go over the requirements and make sure that I have your license that you 91 00:08:59,70 --> 00:09:01,06 have the N.P.I. 92 00:09:01,23 --> 00:09:08,15 Application process that you are unrolled in the Oprah program and as long as your 93 00:09:08,16 --> 00:09:13,95 record set up today you know we have to know that you're not on that exclusion less 94 00:09:13,96 --> 00:09:20,39 would have to check that and then that's all good. I just have one other 95 00:09:20,44 --> 00:09:21,72 question so it as 96 00:09:21,73 --> 00:09:28,40 a sub then. Because you know doing I act first is when you were doing 97 00:09:29,03 --> 00:09:33,31 before right. So as the saw do I. 98 00:09:36,13 --> 00:09:42,36 Would you create an IP direct. Account for myself you would have to because any 99 00:09:42,37 --> 00:09:49,20 notes that you do that's your No OK So you would have to maintain 100 00:09:49,21 --> 00:09:55,11 compliance and those notes in the services you provide and. 101 00:09:56,49 --> 00:10:03,43 The other piece that just for explanation contemporaneous notes 102 00:10:04,12 --> 00:10:11,04 means what. Everybody So this year we extended that to seventy 103 00:10:11,05 --> 00:10:16,04 two hours so basically what it means is that within seventy two hours of providing 104 00:10:16,05 --> 00:10:20,78 service you need to put you know into the system so that that's very nice that you 105 00:10:20,79 --> 00:10:26,68 got that seventy two hours because when I was working it was you had to do it 106 00:10:26,69 --> 00:10:28,22 within forty eight hours and if it was 107 00:10:28,23 --> 00:10:33,85 a Friday yeah yeah yeah that's why we decided to extend there was one other thing 108 00:10:33,86 --> 00:10:40,82 that we had to do this year because of the fact that the. System for 109 00:10:40,86 --> 00:10:45,11 determining eligibility changed we have to go through 110 00:10:45,12 --> 00:10:51,56 a very different process and so we're taking notes on our students not just on 111 00:10:51,57 --> 00:10:58,00 students who we know are eligible so every day that they have received service and 112 00:10:58,01 --> 00:10:59,79 he student that gets a service has 113 00:10:59,80 --> 00:11:06,43 a no in the system. OK. So here's my next 114 00:11:06,44 --> 00:11:12,52 question Do your support staff then have time in their daily schedule to write 115 00:11:12,53 --> 00:11:18,54 their notes it's been going really well I think that they're surprised at 116 00:11:19,41 --> 00:11:26,32 how smooth the transition that's bad OK we have. And 117 00:11:26,36 --> 00:11:32,43 we've been trying to stand tap of any questions that they have. But this 118 00:11:32,86 --> 00:11:39,04 system Medicaid directive has been used by all the other districts in the area so 119 00:11:39,30 --> 00:11:45,77 they really to act it to be meet the needs of the providers OK so it's pretty 120 00:11:45,77 --> 00:11:52,43 streamlined OK are there is time built into all Speech Language Teachers schedule 121 00:11:52,44 --> 00:11:56,98 every day or if not every day every other day so that they do have time to OK yeah 122 00:11:57,23 --> 00:12:03,68 thank thank you part thanks. Any other questions. There's the 123 00:12:03,82 --> 00:12:10,61 compliance committee in order to identify best practices you bring in. Maybe one of 124 00:12:10,62 --> 00:12:13,17 the authors or where do you come up with 125 00:12:13,18 --> 00:12:18,70 a best practice we've had auditors come in and we have done internal audits. 126 00:12:20,00 --> 00:12:25,98 Cindy from both Cs comes in and and makes sure that we know what documents are 127 00:12:25,99 --> 00:12:32,67 needed and tries to help us make sure our filing as of today so. Next. 128 00:12:34,45 --> 00:12:40,32 Any other questions. I have a quick one when you say there's 129 00:12:40,33 --> 00:12:46,21 a lot of glitches that can interfere with getting reimbursement so if something 130 00:12:47,11 --> 00:12:51,41 like that does happen I or you were awarded an opportunity to correct that and get 131 00:12:51,42 --> 00:12:56,53 the reimbursement or if the mistake is made do we lose the reimbursement typically 132 00:12:56,54 --> 00:12:58,44 it's moving forward when you find 133 00:12:58,45 --> 00:13:03,97 a mistake you would let someone know that all of this is what you're doing wrong 134 00:13:04,81 --> 00:13:10,93 and you need to correct that action there's times when they will know that they 135 00:13:10,94 --> 00:13:15,82 answered something wrong and they have the ability to invalidate that now and we 136 00:13:15,83 --> 00:13:22,72 enter and I say OK Thank you. Well to go along with 137 00:13:22,73 --> 00:13:28,81 that if you're got now seventy two hours to correct something that's huge. When you 138 00:13:28,82 --> 00:13:33,67 had to have it.

Every other year rotation on a few of our classes that don't always have 234 00:21:21,38 --> 00:21:26,50 a lot of enrollment so students now and I apologize that we don't have 235 00:21:26,51 --> 00:21:31,27 a slide can see there's five classes that we are going to offer every other year so 236 00:21:31,28 --> 00:21:35,06 for the next four years the kids can look in the course selection guide and see 237 00:21:35,36 --> 00:21:35,81 A.P. 238 00:21:35,82 --> 00:21:40,05 Art history will be offered next year but it won't be offered the following year 239 00:21:40,21 --> 00:21:44,28 but that it will be back in the rotation and some of our technology and business 240 00:21:44,29 --> 00:21:49,89 classes will be running like that so we can make sure that our classes are fall and 241 00:21:49,90 --> 00:21:53,94 that we're not running classes with low in Rome and while also introducing 242 00:21:53,95 --> 00:22:00,49 a new class says.

Around diversity and racial issues and. 281 00:25:08,73 --> 00:25:15,41 I'm just one of the things in talking with the students. They're going to 282 00:25:15,42 --> 00:25:21,95 be using the lens of relevant literature to think critically and 283 00:25:22,51 --> 00:25:29,19 talk about issues related to discrimination and racial diversity and it's just so 284 00:25:29,20 --> 00:25:36,11 exciting that we're we're going to be able to offer students this opportunity so. 285 00:25:37,20 --> 00:25:43,37 That is in English elective and it will be offered to grades ten through twelve and 286 00:25:43,38 --> 00:25:45,62 then gender in literary tax which is 287 00:25:45,63 --> 00:25:51,71 a super course. And the way that super courses work the course is laid out the 288 00:25:51,72 --> 00:25:58,56 curriculum is laid out. As well as the textbooks that online and we have offered 289 00:25:58,57 --> 00:26:04,36 a gendered literature course in the past and in recent years the numbers the Roman 290 00:26:04,37 --> 00:26:09,62 numbers have been very low and. The English department took 291 00:26:09,63 --> 00:26:14,71 a look at this the gender and literary text course from soup and said hey maybe 292 00:26:14,72 --> 00:26:21,49 this is the way the reboot make over that and our gender and literature 293 00:26:21,50 --> 00:26:26,18 course needs so they this is going to be offered as 294 00:26:26,19 --> 00:26:33,00 a senior elective. And just says Dr Maloney is exactly so excited about 295 00:26:33,01 --> 00:26:37,60 mosaics I'm equally as excited that we will be able to offer they reconnect the in 296 00:26:37,61 --> 00:26:42,15 Youth Chorus and it's a little unusual for us to have 297 00:26:42,19 --> 00:26:45,82 a class like this with credit but we have 298 00:26:45,83 --> 00:26:51,08 a new Delphi counselor who she's certified in prevention and drug and alcohol 299 00:26:51,09 --> 00:26:56,33 counseling and she has brought so many great ideas to us and in her previous 300 00:26:56,34 --> 00:27:01,19 districts has taught this class and what it is is it's we've always had this 301 00:27:01,20 --> 00:27:06,43 curriculum for its students but it's been through group counseling group now kids 302 00:27:06,44 --> 00:27:12,19 can take this course for credit and it's kind of considered and at risk students so 303 00:27:12,20 --> 00:27:14,92 a student who may not really like that if you. High School 304 00:27:15,20 --> 00:27:20,78 a student who doesn't have great attendance behind in credits and considered at 305 00:27:20,79 --> 00:27:26,33 risk for graduation and. Really oftentimes a lower G.P.A. 306 00:27:26,77 --> 00:27:28,59 And we've done 307 00:27:28,60 --> 00:27:32,99 a lot of reading on this chorus and the goal is really taking increase school 308 00:27:33,03 --> 00:27:37,53 performance attendance and kind of decrease drug involvement in some of the 309 00:27:37,54 --> 00:27:43,48 emotional stressors that kids have it's. It's 310 00:27:43,49 --> 00:27:48,01 a laid out curriculum that some other districts have started to offer for credit 311 00:27:48,46 --> 00:27:54,05 and I'm just so excited that we're going to be able to you know this is 312 00:27:54,06 --> 00:27:58,56 a course I don't know that students will come to us and want to sign up for but 313 00:27:58,57 --> 00:27:58,78 it's 314 00:27:59,15 --> 00:28:05,28 a course using. Through relationships that we have with kids and some kids that really 315 00:28:05,29 --> 00:28:08,00 are considered at risk that struggle they get to school 316 00:28:08,21 --> 00:28:12,96 a course that we can truly offer that may benefit in terms of self-esteem decision 317 00:28:12,97 --> 00:28:17,15 making in personal control so that is hopefully 318 00:28:17,16 --> 00:28:19,31 a class that we will be running next year as 319 00:28:19,32 --> 00:28:25,56 a half year course and we would like to run in both semesters. College Prep math 320 00:28:25,60 --> 00:28:27,86 this is going to be fourth 321 00:28:28,74 --> 00:28:34,61 a fourth year option for students seniors to prepare students to study calculus in 322 00:28:34,62 --> 00:28:37,58 college that are now planning on going into 323 00:28:37,59 --> 00:28:44,50 a stand related field if you think more in terms of some of those social sciences 324 00:28:44,51 --> 00:28:49,90 psychology education and you know the students will be expected to continue with 325 00:28:49,91 --> 00:28:55,80 math but maybe not at the applied mathematical and you know technical science level 326 00:28:56,03 --> 00:29:03,00 so that would be another option for students to their fourth year here and finally 327 00:29:03,01 --> 00:29:07,30 building and repairing houses to you this is exciting this is 328 00:29:07,31 --> 00:29:12,74 a half year technology elective that is going to dig deeper we offer building and 329 00:29:12,75 --> 00:29:14,87 repairing houses one in. There's 330 00:29:14,88 --> 00:29:19,51 a lot of students that love this class it's those applied practical skills were 331 00:29:19,52 --> 00:29:24,29 kids learn about flooring and roofing but this is really going to dig deeper it's 332 00:29:24,30 --> 00:29:30,43 the second year kids are going to actually start doing more plumbing backside mason 333 00:29:30,86 --> 00:29:34,03 work ruffian through this class obviously 334 00:29:34,96 --> 00:29:40,04 a little exposure to each But again some of those life skills that I know I wish I 335 00:29:40,05 --> 00:29:42,90 had but because we know when we had 336 00:29:42,91 --> 00:29:45,64 a contractor is that can be very expensive and this is 337 00:29:45,65 --> 00:29:50,86 a great outlet for some students who really prefer to be hands on rather than you 338 00:29:50,87 --> 00:29:56,45 know the traditional note taking reading in textbook work. Those are the new 339 00:29:56,46 --> 00:30:02,15 courses that hopefully your approval we will be able to offer and next year. 340 00:30:04,08 --> 00:30:09,42 And there are. A couple other changes that we wanted to highlight in the guide. 341 00:30:10,56 --> 00:30:14,40 Currently we offer insights into chemistry and physics as 342 00:30:14,41 --> 00:30:21,08 a full year course moving forward this will be split into two semester long courses 343 00:30:21,90 --> 00:30:27,80 which will. Now allow us to have four semester long Science electives 344 00:30:28,07 --> 00:30:33,10 forensics astronomy and then insights into chemistry and insights into physics 345 00:30:33,32 --> 00:30:39,40 which will allow students that ability to mix and match. Some students may pair 346 00:30:39,41 --> 00:30:46,21 forensics with. Insights into chemistry other students may elect to take insights 347 00:30:46,22 --> 00:30:50,35 into physics and then say Hey I I think next year I want to actually take physics 348 00:30:50,65 --> 00:30:52,33 so it's going to allow students 349 00:30:52,83 --> 00:30:59,45 a little bit more flexibility and then super sociology and the mosaics course are 350 00:30:59,46 --> 00:31:04,99 going to be open to tenth through twelfth graders in the past. 351 00:31:06,21 --> 00:31:11,09 Super sociology was eleventh and twelfth grade and now we're going to open that up 352 00:31:11,10 --> 00:31:16,92 and allow for more elective choices for sophomores. And then the UN pairing of the 353 00:31:16,93 --> 00:31:21,48 English and social studies paired courses. As you know the social studies 354 00:31:21,49 --> 00:31:27,34 curriculum is currently undergoing significant restructuring with the shift to the 355 00:31:27,35 --> 00:31:32,93 new New York State learning standards for social studies and with this shift the 356 00:31:32,94 --> 00:31:38,94 social studies courses are more humanities focused and teachers need time to do 357 00:31:38,95 --> 00:31:45,24 this work as you know with our transition. Over the years with different to 358 00:31:45,25 --> 00:31:50,88 different standards it takes time to realign the courses. To the new standards as 359 00:31:50,89 --> 00:31:56,18 well as to collaborate with the English department for the Humanities piece and 360 00:31:56,19 --> 00:32:01,44 then the end result. Social studies in English courses K. 361 00:32:01,45 --> 00:32:06,84 Twelve are centrally going to be what we refer to now as paired with 362 00:32:06,85 --> 00:32:12,93 a humanities cohesion but at the high school level students schedules will not be 363 00:32:13,28 --> 00:32:17,98 locked down by needing to be paired with two particular teachers with 364 00:32:17,99 --> 00:32:20,45 a particular. English teacher in 365 00:32:20,46 --> 00:32:24,51 a particular social studies because of the paired course so essentially all 366 00:32:24,52 --> 00:32:31,52 students will receive or experience. That humanities cohesion of context 367 00:32:31,81 --> 00:32:38,18 fused with literature. Not just the students in the honors are paired sections like 368 00:32:38,19 --> 00:32:43,42 it currently is so students will be able to take English nine honors English ten 369 00:32:43,43 --> 00:32:48,02 honors English eleven honors global one honors global two honors and A.P. 370 00:32:48,03 --> 00:32:53,39 Us in the example that we have there in the current structure if 371 00:32:53,40 --> 00:32:58,25 a student wanted to take global one honors they have to take the paired but moving 372 00:32:58,26 --> 00:33:05,11 forward students can take English but yet global one or English nine honors in 373 00:33:05,12 --> 00:33:08,73 global one honors creating more options for students. 374 00:33:12,02 --> 00:33:17,83 So we have actually being on this for us. Last week they teachers court teachers 375 00:33:18,59 --> 00:33:24,14 worked with students during classes to kind of talk about next year's selections in 376 00:33:24,15 --> 00:33:29,25 each subject area and kind of advise students on their thoughts and have conversed 377 00:33:29,26 --> 00:33:31,48 with students about what they felt might be 378 00:33:31,49 --> 00:33:36,13 a good option and also listen to what students thought teachers added their 379 00:33:36,66 --> 00:33:41,22 feedback into infinite campus and tomorrow or the portal will open for all students 380 00:33:41,23 --> 00:33:48,11 and parents high school grades nine ten and eleven and during the next ten 381 00:33:48,12 --> 00:33:53,21 days which begins tomorrow until right before the holiday break students can have 382 00:33:53,22 --> 00:33:57,47 their empire they can look at what the teachers recommended they can add their 383 00:33:57,51 --> 00:34:03,95 elected they can add you know their input we will close the portal right before the 384 00:34:03,96 --> 00:34:08,83 holiday break and students at Bay Trail and parents will have that same opportunity 385 00:34:08,84 --> 00:34:13,96 in January January ninth through the seventeenth January eighth we will offer 386 00:34:13,97 --> 00:34:15,29 a parent evening for 387 00:34:15,34 --> 00:34:22,13 a child parents so they can learn about transitioning to the high school.

Error in classes based on course selection so it's 400 00:35:20,90 --> 00:35:22,71 a process that we take takes 401 00:35:22,72 --> 00:35:27,60 a lot of time at the high school but it also is why we're here to. Educate our 402 00:35:27,61 --> 00:35:34,34 students and. Have classes. Believe that completes this forest and 403 00:35:35,06 --> 00:35:39,64 be happy to answer any questions that you may have board members that he questions 404 00:35:39,64 --> 00:35:46,64 . I haven't seen this type of presentation before so that's good thank you. I 405 00:35:46,65 --> 00:35:51,61 was pleasantly surprised to see how much feedback you considered from students 406 00:35:51,62 --> 00:35:56,18 families teachers to develop new courses and offerings and I think the dual credit 407 00:35:56,19 --> 00:36:00,73 courses really helped make Penfield unique so so thank you for that and I was 408 00:36:00,77 --> 00:36:05,62 equally as excited to see the building and repairing houses too because that's an 409 00:36:05,78 --> 00:36:10,20 interest to me and I quite honestly I think that will get kids ready for life or 410 00:36:10,26 --> 00:36:12,67 career should they not go to college and as 411 00:36:12,68 --> 00:36:17,48 a homeowner I think everybody needs to take part in that we do need an office three 412 00:36:17,49 --> 00:36:24,02 sixty five course for the board OK I just want to make it quite well maybe next 413 00:36:24,03 --> 00:36:29,89 year these incidents get to dictate I take them. I don't want to go back but no 414 00:36:29,90 --> 00:36:33,72 then lastly I look at the real quickly that the Course got it was like seventy 415 00:36:33,73 --> 00:36:40,34 eight pages times fifteen hundred students I mean aside from Dr since you see 416 00:36:40,62 --> 00:36:44,60 with dealing with moving targets that's probably the biggest moving target to come 417 00:36:44,61 --> 00:36:46,48 in and formulate 418 00:36:46,49 --> 00:36:50,24 a nice schedule that works into the you know the squeezer So you guys should be 419 00:36:50,25 --> 00:36:56,95 proud yourselves Thanks thanks you know. Members any other questions or comment 420 00:36:57,08 --> 00:37:03,63 Marc. That's going to couple things I'm going to talk about 421 00:37:04,61 --> 00:37:06,70 some of these courses to every year which makes 422 00:37:06,71 --> 00:37:12,01 a lot of sense because I want to have them and if they don't have sufficient demand 423 00:37:13,00 --> 00:37:18,28 or any of these courses in the. Of the type that they need to be sequenced so. If 424 00:37:18,29 --> 00:37:22,73 you decide if you set out for your profession from taking another course until you 425 00:37:22,74 --> 00:37:28,03 finish that. The first course you have me then there are sequence that way or they 426 00:37:28,04 --> 00:37:31,87 can you take them independently of everything else. That's 427 00:37:31,88 --> 00:37:36,33 a great point they definitely looked at the classes that we did decide to do that 428 00:37:36,34 --> 00:37:38,67 with because we would hate to have 429 00:37:38,68 --> 00:37:42,37 a student take one this year and then ever get it again or not get it till senior 430 00:37:42,38 --> 00:37:47,80 year I said where it's only starting with five right now so none of them are. 431 00:37:49,42 --> 00:37:56,06 In that situation that you describe the scene when. They aren't. And the other 432 00:37:56,07 --> 00:38:02,99 question I had was for the new courses and. Microsoft Office I think 433 00:38:03,00 --> 00:38:06,78 is great to me that should be mandatory compulsory for every student in my opinion 434 00:38:07,57 --> 00:38:09,12 however all these you having 435 00:38:09,13 --> 00:38:13,77 a bunch of new courses. Waiting their success in terms of delivering the 436 00:38:13,78 --> 00:38:18,88 information you want them to deliver and that there's sufficient demand and if you 437 00:38:18,89 --> 00:38:25,14 know the first year people want to do this again. I think with any course whether 438 00:38:25,15 --> 00:38:27,98 it's a new course or a course that we currently offer there's 439 00:38:27,99 --> 00:38:33,91 a layer it's almost if you think of it in terms of layers you know as I mentioned 440 00:38:34,20 --> 00:38:39,60 at the beginning of the presentation the students choose the courses and that 441 00:38:39,61 --> 00:38:39,94 drives 442 00:38:39,95 --> 00:38:47,16 a lot of. A lot of the the offerings but also particularly 443 00:38:47,17 --> 00:38:47,30 with 444 00:38:47,31 --> 00:38:52,05 a course like the Microsoft Office course. Some of the things that we look at are 445 00:38:52,85 --> 00:38:56,52 is the majority of the class or the majority of the students electing to take the 446 00:38:56,53 --> 00:39:00,79 dual credit if they're not then what's what's there must be 447 00:39:00,80 --> 00:39:06,03 a gap there what's that gap and and that causes us to do that raises some red flags 448 00:39:06,04 --> 00:39:11,00 and so we begin to look at that you know obviously the grades the feedback from the 449 00:39:11,01 --> 00:39:15,12 teachers and then the feedback from the students the students are. Not afraid to 450 00:39:15,13 --> 00:39:21,12 tell us which courses are working and which courses are not working for them but I 451 00:39:21,37 --> 00:39:25,07 really believe particularly with the Microsoft Office course because of the success 452 00:39:25,08 --> 00:39:30,53 that we've seen in the other districts that offer I went be surprised if down the 453 00:39:30,54 --> 00:39:35,91 road I'm here presenting the advanced Microsoft Office course that many of the 454 00:39:35,92 --> 00:39:40,58 other schools offer. Thank you. Carol. 455 00:39:48,07 --> 00:39:54,87 And it's succeeding to see that you have in your book now. It is on 456 00:39:54,88 --> 00:39:58,79 line for us to see I'm still thinking about the first time ever that we put 457 00:39:58,80 --> 00:40:05,76 a course. That was so many years ago so this is nice very 458 00:40:05,77 --> 00:40:12,19 excited that. Morsy and gender and literary text and all specially that those are 459 00:40:12,20 --> 00:40:16,23 classes that are offered a lot in colleges and you see 460 00:40:16,37 --> 00:40:23,09 a lot of students you know going to the specially. You know. Classes about 461 00:40:23,13 --> 00:40:26,10 women and women the there is and there are now this stuff so this is really 462 00:40:26,32 --> 00:40:28,30 exciting and I have 463 00:40:28,31 --> 00:40:32,26 a lot of appreciation for you for answering all my questions that came so late 464 00:40:32,27 --> 00:40:37,26 during the day and I'm speechless that you answered them already and I know I had 465 00:40:37,27 --> 00:40:42,18 numerous one exam think you so much I frankly was not expecting the answer to these 466 00:40:42,19 --> 00:40:48,44 so I really appreciate that and you answered them to read details I still have I'm 467 00:40:48,45 --> 00:40:48,74 more of 468 00:40:48,75 --> 00:40:54,25 a comment though about reconnecting use them trying to Rep my head around that and 469 00:40:54,43 --> 00:41:01,14 you know understand the need for it and why it's being presented but. I still have 470 00:41:01,15 --> 00:41:04,92 concerns regarding the stigma that might happen with such 471 00:41:04,93 --> 00:41:07,83 a class and we've seen in other instances when 472 00:41:08,18 --> 00:41:14,19 a kid was placed in advanced classes like you know kids who would say Oh they're in 473 00:41:14,20 --> 00:41:19,34 the. Smart math you know and or you know it you've heard from to name in our 474 00:41:19,35 --> 00:41:24,15 previous Delphi counselor that sometimes kid didn't even want to come near his 475 00:41:24,16 --> 00:41:30,62 office in order for other kids not to think that you know oh I was so and so you're 476 00:41:30,86 --> 00:41:37,71 so how. Do. A couple of things 477 00:41:38,68 --> 00:41:40,49 and I think you're concerned is 478 00:41:40,50 --> 00:41:46,95 a very valid point one of the things that I feel really good about is Katie to 479 00:41:46,96 --> 00:41:51,96 solve all our new prevention counselor so I'm not sure if the board is aware but 480 00:41:52,23 --> 00:41:59,21 Ted Amen moved up at Delphi so he is supervising Katie and so. That it 481 00:41:59,22 --> 00:42:05,77 always feels good to know that Ted is there in it he had selected Katie for 482 00:42:05,78 --> 00:42:06,86 P.H.'s and he did 483 00:42:06,87 --> 00:42:13,17 a fabulous job. For her her experience and her background in having taught the 484 00:42:13,18 --> 00:42:20,09 course in two districts two different districts I feel you know we're 485 00:42:20,13 --> 00:42:24,38 looking to her to say hell you know we don't want to have this stigma how do we 486 00:42:24,39 --> 00:42:30,91 avoid that and what does that look like and. She's very excited because of the 487 00:42:31,44 --> 00:42:37,62 the seminars and the relationships as staff mentioned that our counselors have with 488 00:42:37,63 --> 00:42:43,32 our students to be able to to ensure that the the students who are taking the 489 00:42:43,33 --> 00:42:48,47 course are the students who are going to benefit most from the course and. You know 490 00:42:49,10 --> 00:42:54,15 so far she's been great at providing us advice on how to avoid that stigma piece 491 00:42:54,98 --> 00:43:01,38 and then. In terms of the course in the connection that it has to the school you 492 00:43:01,39 --> 00:43:02,57 know that they do 493 00:43:02,61 --> 00:43:06,67 a lot of projects she's had them do lots of projects in the past and also projects 494 00:43:06,68 --> 00:43:13,49 within the community. Volunteer ing and making those connections reconnecting you 495 00:43:13,94 --> 00:43:19,34 so. I'm I'm very excited to to have this course at P.H.S. 496 00:43:19,35 --> 00:43:23,76 I think and when I hear that description of the class onus is just salvo talks 497 00:43:23,77 --> 00:43:27,03 about it almost reminds me of our leadership class in 498 00:43:27,04 --> 00:43:30,81 a different way our leadership class those projects for the school and they get 499 00:43:30,82 --> 00:43:32,39 very invested in they own 500 00:43:32,40 --> 00:43:37,32 a project and it almost sounds like it mirrors that to some degree and certain 501 00:43:37,33 --> 00:43:39,16 students would never go anywhere near 502 00:43:39,17 --> 00:43:42,72 a leadership class because they don't know that they almost think there's 503 00:43:42,73 --> 00:43:49,39 a stigma with that and curious to see if we do get enrollment. I mean as I'm 504 00:43:49,40 --> 00:43:53,21 sitting here I know my five students I'm going to ask and we could name them right 505 00:43:53,22 --> 00:43:57,98 here Baek and they're great kids they're absolutely awesome kids wonderful hearts 506 00:43:57,99 --> 00:44:04,52 and just have got into tough situations and you know I know there's good insight in 507 00:44:04,53 --> 00:44:06,86 that they can find that and maybe 508 00:44:06,87 --> 00:44:13,25 a little more but I hope that it will work it's it is different I absolutely agree 509 00:44:13,26 --> 00:44:18,19 with you but walking in the counseling office now and with our ninth and tenth 510 00:44:18,20 --> 00:44:21,77 grade seminars I can't tell you how much of 511 00:44:21,78 --> 00:44:26,64 a different feel it I have to be able to know everyone's greater in the building 512 00:44:26,65 --> 00:44:31,48 within four weeks of school started invite name and every counselor can do that 513 00:44:31,49 --> 00:44:34,44 with their ninth and tenth graders and we're starting with the eleventh and twelfth 514 00:44:34,45 --> 00:44:36,89 graders and I've never felt such 515 00:44:36,90 --> 00:44:41,73 a connection and it's exciting and it feels good and we'll see what happens with 516 00:44:41,74 --> 00:44:46,95 reconnecting you and hopefully it will be successful thank you I appreciate your 517 00:44:46,96 --> 00:44:51,51 answers my last one is to talk to them so do we get some where you are from the 518 00:44:51,52 --> 00:44:57,35 state for having someone. You know I was on the way I had S. 519 00:44:57,35 --> 00:45:04,35 . He was so if I was in education. I'm sure if she's not do we 520 00:45:04,36 --> 00:45:11,25 get some Weaver about this. Or am I this is this all my turn to Barbara Starr. 521 00:45:12,89 --> 00:45:18,40 I don't know. I don't know that's what we do know is that in working with Delphi 522 00:45:18,41 --> 00:45:23,07 with Ted A man is that other districts have done this and we know that teachers can 523 00:45:23,08 --> 00:45:27,15 teach out one class out of their content area it's for it's not 524 00:45:27,16 --> 00:45:30,02 a graduate can't be a graduation requirement but it can be a half 525 00:45:30,03 --> 00:45:34,75 a credit towards that in the past we've done similar things and we had 526 00:45:34,76 --> 00:45:39,94 a staff member who was. A school psychologist who ran 527 00:45:40,02 --> 00:45:45,32 a year book club but we offered credit for pass fail credit and we were able to do 528 00:45:45,33 --> 00:45:50,27 that as well so the nice piece with that Delphi relationship is their connection 529 00:45:50,28 --> 00:45:54,41 with state and as well and so that's one of those pieces where is pending board 530 00:45:54,42 --> 00:45:59,19 approval and I will double check through both C's with Dan White to make sure that 531 00:45:59,28 --> 00:46:04,39 that what we are doing is allowable our understanding is it is but but I will 532 00:46:04,40 --> 00:46:05,15 double check that was 533 00:46:05,16 --> 00:46:11,24 a great question that came up today I think. We have not had the artist in 534 00:46:11,25 --> 00:46:17,35 residence similar. And we're going to work our. 535 00:46:22,85 --> 00:46:29,03 Way. The one thing I'll add to that I'm I'm excited with the reconnecting new thing 536 00:46:29,04 --> 00:46:35,89 is. There's two things I think of one is that that through Ted Amen and now 537 00:46:35,90 --> 00:46:39,99 on this to solve Oh there's are there's already groups that meet and so typically 538 00:46:40,00 --> 00:46:41,30 and I haven't been in the high school in 539 00:46:41,31 --> 00:46:45,23 a few years but it was is that they would get pulled out of class on 540 00:46:45,24 --> 00:46:46,80 a rotating basis to meet in 541 00:46:46,81 --> 00:46:50,68 a group and have these conversations so they missed instruction time and we are 542 00:46:50,69 --> 00:46:54,98 typically talking kids who aren't connected to school in attendance is important 543 00:46:55,60 --> 00:46:59,73 and you're asking kids to come in for group and have conversations and do 544 00:46:59,74 --> 00:47:03,94 a lot of this work but they don't get credit for it so here's an opportunity to say 545 00:47:03,98 --> 00:47:06,49 you're going to actually earn credit for coming here but you've got 546 00:47:06,50 --> 00:47:10,60 a tendon you've got to be part of the class so my hope is that can be that sort of 547 00:47:10,72 --> 00:47:15,78 the driving force to keep kids interested. The other piece was stigma I think 548 00:47:15,79 --> 00:47:21,44 you're one hundred percent right about that as is four years ago as principal I 549 00:47:22,04 --> 00:47:26,73 would have been worried about that price still worried but I'm less worried because 550 00:47:26,85 --> 00:47:31,12 of the seminar structure we've talked about with the board and how and how you know 551 00:47:32,05 --> 00:47:32,71 the counselors 552 00:47:32,72 --> 00:47:38,61 a social worker they're all going up and I mean. And so we have that and then we 553 00:47:38,62 --> 00:47:43,72 have. A lot of this saying with classes when we look at where sometimes 554 00:47:43,73 --> 00:47:48,69 a class is really really popular and then due to retirements and teacher changes 555 00:47:48,70 --> 00:47:50,41 it's a different teacher and they might do 556 00:47:50,42 --> 00:47:53,84 a phenomenal job but they just don't get the kids signing up for it because 557 00:47:53,85 --> 00:47:57,56 a lot of times we know students connect to certain teachers and certain adults and 558 00:47:57,91 --> 00:48:00,88 I know that they're connecting with Ted but in 559 00:48:00,89 --> 00:48:04,81 a different way they're connecting with the Solve Also I'm excited and then the 560 00:48:04,82 --> 00:48:05,50 other piece from 561 00:48:05,51 --> 00:48:10,25 a staffing point of view is we're not hiring for this we have heard here through 562 00:48:10,26 --> 00:48:13,70 the Delphi contract so it's one of those it's 563 00:48:13,71 --> 00:48:17,98 a win win because let's say we don't get enough kids to take the class she's still 564 00:48:17,99 --> 00:48:23,45 a one point zero staff member through the. Contract we have so it's less of 565 00:48:23,46 --> 00:48:24,71 a concern than hiring 566 00:48:24,72 --> 00:48:28,80 a teacher to come in and teach the class and doesn't work so even around like the 567 00:48:28,81 --> 00:48:32,06 minimum fifteen it's probably something we can look at 568 00:48:32,07 --> 00:48:34,76 a little bit differently because she's already here she's already in the building 569 00:48:34,77 --> 00:48:38,43 she's already running through and the other piece with the stigma I think of his 570 00:48:38,76 --> 00:48:43,59 students as staff and as we talked about and I can I can pick some out you know 571 00:48:44,14 --> 00:48:48,85 they already feel sometimes as an outsider at high school you know where I'm an 572 00:48:48,86 --> 00:48:49,56 honest person where 573 00:48:49,57 --> 00:48:54,70 a large traditional high school so we are not everybody's favorite place to go and 574 00:48:54,71 --> 00:49:00,46 so maybe having that stigma that they either self-imposed or they feel that to then 575 00:49:00,47 --> 00:49:03,58 connect with other people to feel that way and try to make 576 00:49:03,59 --> 00:49:07,26 a positive connection and hopefully be a real a real positive 577 00:49:07,47 --> 00:49:13,72 a positive step so I'm hopeful for that class and the others as well I think for I 578 00:49:13,73 --> 00:49:19,78 will be so. Adding up for building houses. Because you know that if you don't want 579 00:49:19,79 --> 00:49:20,44 to do any building 580 00:49:20,45 --> 00:49:23,86 a superintendent because I don't have to really get Gary in because the audience 581 00:49:23,87 --> 00:49:30,46 will do all the hard work for us. Thank you I willing to answer all my questions 582 00:49:31,35 --> 00:49:37,15 thank you so much. He said to the question why did I Oh. 583 00:49:40,64 --> 00:49:47,52 I can't tell. How much and I used to be on. How to get my new glasses to work 584 00:49:48,33 --> 00:49:49,21 mine is more of 585 00:49:49,22 --> 00:49:54,19 a technical question actually I actually had two questions. When you're looking at 586 00:49:54,20 --> 00:50:00,51 locking. Locking in campus and so kids can make changes what happens when say 587 00:50:00,52 --> 00:50:06,80 something offered. To students you know get notified and then what does that work 588 00:50:06,81 --> 00:50:13,69 like so what do you meet with students. To magical alternatives so let kids know 589 00:50:13,70 --> 00:50:16,21 that we can't always it doesn't always feel like 590 00:50:16,22 --> 00:50:21,18 a perfect one sometimes courses aren't offered but if we can't go to an alternative 591 00:50:21,24 --> 00:50:23,72 then really all kids get notified that 592 00:50:23,73 --> 00:50:29,79 a class would be cancelled and asked to pick something. So great and then I just 593 00:50:29,80 --> 00:50:32,51 was curious about the going to be every other year schedules are 594 00:50:32,52 --> 00:50:38,29 a mechanism for students to. Kind of say hey I kind of want to take this is so you 595 00:50:38,30 --> 00:50:42,34 can kind of like that but there are those kinds of pieces. 596 00:50:45,68 --> 00:50:45,84 Like 597 00:50:45,85 --> 00:50:51,91 a meeting list or something to keep track of when students meet with their counselor 598 00:50:52,11 --> 00:50:58,99 those are the conversations the counselor has in their notes or kept. A student 599 00:50:59,00 --> 00:51:03,54 so we could see the you know I would if in my case and everybody is 600 00:51:03,55 --> 00:51:04,47 a little different but we do have 601 00:51:04,48 --> 00:51:08,83 a four year plan so if we know they want to take our history and it's going to be 602 00:51:08,84 --> 00:51:10,48 offered we would make 603 00:51:10,49 --> 00:51:14,25 a note for senior year you know check in with the student sometimes they changed. 604 00:51:14,32 --> 00:51:17,69 Are mine and sometimes they don't and they they remind us before we pull the note 605 00:51:17,70 --> 00:51:23,15 out as but yes we definitely do have some checks and balances built in prison right 606 00:51:23,15 --> 00:51:30,13 . Mark went back to the reconnecting use and Scribus 607 00:51:30,14 --> 00:51:30,47 more 608 00:51:30,85 --> 00:51:37,11 a question of how we position disk last. Along with the alternative school program 609 00:51:37,12 --> 00:51:37,63 that's 610 00:51:37,67 --> 00:51:43,91 a partnership with. Yet actually when we were talking about it I was thinking of 611 00:51:43,92 --> 00:51:44,21 the G. 612 00:51:44,22 --> 00:51:50,94 Prep program. And currently. Our students 613 00:51:51,73 --> 00:51:52,00 we have 614 00:51:52,01 --> 00:51:56,43 a lot of eleventh graders that have come back from cheap crap eleventh grade was 615 00:51:56,44 --> 00:52:01,88 not offered this year and at cheaper edgy prep and so they're coming back and some 616 00:52:01,89 --> 00:52:02,51 are doing a half 617 00:52:02,52 --> 00:52:09,47 a because he's program and some aren't. And right now you know. I do see students 618 00:52:09,48 --> 00:52:14,23 from that program taking advantage that have retired to Penfield high school I 619 00:52:14,24 --> 00:52:18,86 don't really see it as an option too for students that don't want to leave their 620 00:52:18,87 --> 00:52:24,06 home school I think it's hard for some students but I think to offer both G. 621 00:52:24,07 --> 00:52:28,70 Prep is going to be more expensive and more alternative they're going to you know 622 00:52:28,71 --> 00:52:32,95 have smaller class environment it's it's definitely 623 00:52:32,96 --> 00:52:37,58 a moral alternative whereas this is going to be a half here 624 00:52:37,59 --> 00:52:40,97 a class one time. So yeah. 625 00:52:44,19 --> 00:52:45,83 OK Well I have 626 00:52:45,84 --> 00:52:51,75 a quick question on the building houses the what I'm curious about is how many 627 00:52:51,76 --> 00:52:57,76 girls take their course so the one that you offer already to. This is I'm rolling 628 00:52:57,77 --> 00:53:03,36 you're going to say fifty fifty you girls never taking it no no if you don't and I 629 00:53:03,37 --> 00:53:10,32 even know that it's math No I. I would say. I mean 630 00:53:10,46 --> 00:53:17,28 to be really transparent about it maybe ten percent. Yeah I have 631 00:53:17,29 --> 00:53:20,50 these to run I would need to run then to double check that we would have to double 632 00:53:20,51 --> 00:53:26,06 check I. I know currently the second class running right now does not have 633 00:53:26,07 --> 00:53:30,45 a girl in it but there have been years there have been other females and that's 634 00:53:30,46 --> 00:53:33,81 really. Power in numbers or a leg 635 00:53:33,94 --> 00:53:40,09 a couple girls may decide they want to take that. But I just said that very point 636 00:53:40,10 --> 00:53:45,08 yeah I mean you could be just such a. Thing to be able because if they had 637 00:53:45,09 --> 00:53:48,96 a couple. Yeah and not to have to call 638 00:53:48,97 --> 00:53:52,35 a contractor or call your dad you know you move out into your first place or 639 00:53:52,36 --> 00:53:58,67 something and something simple goes wrong but you don't know how to fix it so yeah 640 00:53:59,34 --> 00:54:03,81 I know if I was in high school I'd be taking that course but I am in 641 00:54:03,82 --> 00:54:07,12 a seminar structure tomorrow we're going to be having these discussions and I mean 642 00:54:07,13 --> 00:54:11,21 it's something that maybe as we talk more with kids rather than showing power 643 00:54:11,22 --> 00:54:14,94 points about what's to offering groups of one hundred you know we're meeting in 644 00:54:14,95 --> 00:54:16,34 groups of Tad It's more of 645 00:54:16,35 --> 00:54:21,35 a conversation and an encouragement to do that so I appreciate that comment because 646 00:54:21,36 --> 00:54:25,65 sometimes you don't even think about that right and I think of my conversation 647 00:54:25,66 --> 00:54:28,71 tomorrow morning with the county for are they going to seminar or are they going to 648 00:54:28,72 --> 00:54:32,28 seminars to point that out. Well we're going to have 649 00:54:32,29 --> 00:54:38,98 a snow day. I feel like I've done for the watching 650 00:54:38,99 --> 00:54:44,11 audience out all the way to your home or I was there you know you know I mean. I 651 00:54:44,12 --> 00:54:48,08 just I didn't want to share and I and I debated but I had I want to the board to 652 00:54:48,09 --> 00:54:53,01 know was that we do this presentation every year I did this principle but there was 653 00:54:53,02 --> 00:54:58,16 always always who was really the creator and Andrew as you know the staff member 654 00:54:58,17 --> 00:55:04,51 who lost her battle with cancer and. Because of that it was difficult and I just 655 00:55:04,52 --> 00:55:09,37 it's really kudos to Steph and Leslie Teresa Neves Ole and everybody else who 656 00:55:09,38 --> 00:55:11,86 stepped up and really had to do 657 00:55:11,87 --> 00:55:16,53 a lot of work because you know we all get used to have. Someone do all the work in 658 00:55:16,57 --> 00:55:21,42 behind the scenes and when that change happened I know it was just 659 00:55:21,85 --> 00:55:24,48 a lot and the number of times I've been over the high school where there are 660 00:55:24,85 --> 00:55:28,87 sequestered doing best and learning how to schedule it's just 661 00:55:28,88 --> 00:55:35,16 a lot of work so so thank you. Thank you oh yes John just back on your question. 662 00:55:36,67 --> 00:55:42,32 You know if you watch this old house already. Sold house they have 663 00:55:42,33 --> 00:55:45,48 a mission of this year called something like Generation Next or whatever where 664 00:55:45,49 --> 00:55:52,40 they're getting post high school kids into training and it's basically fifty 665 00:55:52,41 --> 00:55:58,40 fifty based on that number and I read somewhere with that and maybe you see it on 666 00:55:58,41 --> 00:55:58,76 T.V. 667 00:55:58,77 --> 00:56:03,68 But the fastest growing number of people getting into flipping houses are women. 668 00:56:06,25 --> 00:56:12,56 And so I the same question I think it's something to really talk. Absolutely I mean 669 00:56:12,57 --> 00:56:18,57 you could watch that show in class because honestly the site showing you how to do 670 00:56:18,58 --> 00:56:23,57 it it's why you do it and that's part of the whole thing that I think people are 671 00:56:23,58 --> 00:56:27,90 afraid of because it's not it's not necessarily the pounding It's the why behind 672 00:56:28,88 --> 00:56:35,36 Think about for the counselors and certainly I mean I know that flipping is easy 673 00:56:35,37 --> 00:56:39,73 and they make it look so easy and if you know anything about it you know it's not 674 00:56:39,77 --> 00:56:40,76 and you have to have 675 00:56:40,77 --> 00:56:46,36 a lot of luck we do need to scale and this is something that you know it could open 676 00:56:46,37 --> 00:56:49,25 doors for a lot of people who may not think about 677 00:56:49,26 --> 00:56:53,01 a college career by they want some money and they want to be in charge of their 678 00:56:53,02 --> 00:56:54,84 career and they want to be in charge of 679 00:56:54,89 --> 00:57:01,00 a business or whatever so yeah I think it would open some doors Absolutely thank 680 00:57:01,01 --> 00:57:05,89 you well thank you for coming tonight I think.

For size what's changed because we've talked 703 00:59:00,61 --> 00:59:02,76 about this for a very long time and it's taken 704 00:59:02,77 --> 00:59:07,22 a number of different forms as we've moved through so we just want to make sure 705 00:59:07,23 --> 00:59:12,40 it's clear in everyone's mind what it is that we're proposing to undertake and we 706 00:59:12,41 --> 00:59:17,28 just want to make sure that. As we move forward tonight that we're worth we sort of 707 00:59:17,29 --> 00:59:17,41 have 708 00:59:17,42 --> 00:59:23,34 a clear vision of what it is that we're proposing so four classrooms at each of Scribner 709 00:59:23,35 --> 00:59:28,76 cobbles and Indian landing so for additions for classroom additions at each of 710 00:59:28,77 --> 00:59:33,49 those buildings at Scribner We'll also be adding some ancillary space to 711 00:59:33,50 --> 00:59:39,65 accommodate growing and Rob and so that includes expansions of the gym the gym 712 00:59:39,69 --> 00:59:46,61 expansion cafeteria and all the buildings you'll see changes to parking drop off 713 00:59:46,62 --> 00:59:52,95 and so on so that's true it's good or at Kabul's. In addition to the additions 714 00:59:52,96 --> 00:59:58,25 they'll be changes to the cafeteria line that bill that cafeteria is internal to 715 00:59:58,26 --> 01:00:03,88 the building so it's not being expanded but there are also extensive changes to 716 01:00:03,89 --> 01:00:10,80 parking and parent drop off. At Indian landing the cafeteria expansion 717 01:00:10,86 --> 01:00:13,46 in the back of the building changes to create 718 01:00:13,47 --> 01:00:18,90 a parent drop off immediately behind that cafeteria and changes in front of the 719 01:00:18,91 --> 01:00:22,51 building to the bus loop too and to provide 720 01:00:22,52 --> 01:00:29,36 a safer and better situation for parents and buses dropping off. That's changed 721 01:00:29,37 --> 01:00:32,86 a bit and I just want to point this out one last time we won't talk about what's 722 01:00:32,87 --> 01:00:38,96 changed after tonight but we've only had one previous look at at at what's been 723 01:00:38,97 --> 01:00:40,26 different so as 724 01:00:40,27 --> 01:00:46,77 a result of our final scope review and in numerous meetings that Dr Putnam led in 725 01:00:46,78 --> 01:00:49,67 the elementary school we've we've made 726 01:00:49,68 --> 01:00:55,08 a few changes to the scope that we've talked about previously so at Scribner. 727 01:00:56,51 --> 01:01:00,26 Ever pretty much everything that we've talked about all along is there the 728 01:01:00,27 --> 01:01:05,78 cafeteria expansion is there but there's been some modifications from the original 729 01:01:05,79 --> 01:01:11,86 mostly in terms of outside seating area and so on but the cafeteria is still 730 01:01:11,87 --> 01:01:16,70 included an expansion of the cafeteria. That's one of the smallest class cafeterias 731 01:01:16,71 --> 01:01:21,80 in our district with largest in Rome and it needs the additional space but we. 732 01:01:23,16 --> 01:01:24,19 Tweaked around the edges 733 01:01:24,20 --> 01:01:29,13 a little bit of what that space would look like Kabul's the renovations at the 734 01:01:29,67 --> 01:01:35,16 cafeteria service liners are still included we did remove However from the scope 735 01:01:35,40 --> 01:01:41,14 the gym addition and the loading dock to the existing gym we feel is adequate for 736 01:01:41,15 --> 01:01:47,39 the. Capacity of that building and the loading dock we elected to remove because 737 01:01:47,40 --> 01:01:53,96 it's. For one thing it's going to be made of all and for another reason is that 738 01:01:53,97 --> 01:01:55,46 it's really at 739 01:01:55,47 --> 01:01:59,48 a crucial point of the building in terms of utilities coming into the building and 740 01:01:59,49 --> 01:02:05,55 we worried about the expense of that so it's been removed and no changes really it 741 01:02:05,56 --> 01:02:09,42 can at Indian landing while the cafeteria expansions were not 742 01:02:09,43 --> 01:02:10,77 a double after our S.T.D. 743 01:02:10,78 --> 01:02:17,39 Review elected due included at both Scrivener and and India mining because of the 744 01:02:17,40 --> 01:02:24,00 need. I won't go through these in detail other than to point out that they differ 745 01:02:24,01 --> 01:02:29,61 slightly you can look at these on line if you have and they are on line already if 746 01:02:29,62 --> 01:02:35,31 you have the interest but there change just very slightly to reflect those changes 747 01:02:35,32 --> 01:02:41,27 that I just discussed Scrivener site plan no real changes there you can see here at 748 01:02:41,28 --> 01:02:47,44 the classroom previously we showed the gym addition now we show the four classroom 749 01:02:47,45 --> 01:02:53,64 edition alone. Again changes to the site plan only to reflect the elimination of 750 01:02:53,65 --> 01:02:59,38 the gym space. Indian landing classrooms this is not change from the previous 751 01:02:59,39 --> 01:03:04,92 versions that you've already looked at nor has the Indian landing site plan so 752 01:03:04,93 --> 01:03:09,49 that's consistent with what you've seen all along the other important part of this 753 01:03:09,50 --> 01:03:16,44 project has to do with buildings around so the. And. Transportation So we 754 01:03:16,45 --> 01:03:22,55 will be. Included in the in this project is the purchase of an eleven acre parcel 755 01:03:22,56 --> 01:03:28,83 at thirteen sixty four Jackson Road we intend to build on that parcel I shared 756 01:03:29,38 --> 01:03:34,30 a facility with for transportation and buildings and grounds moving the 757 01:03:34,31 --> 01:03:40,50 transportation function off a five mile line and out to that site again then 758 01:03:40,51 --> 01:03:46,32 a loss will be shared with the buildings and ground staff so we'll be moving most 759 01:03:46,33 --> 01:03:52,48 of our. Most of our activity out of five mile line and out to Jackson Road there 760 01:03:52,49 --> 01:03:57,70 still will remain some work there we intend to maintain at five mile line road 761 01:03:57,71 --> 01:04:03,62 we'll. Do some renovation to the existing bus garage to turn it into 762 01:04:03,63 --> 01:04:05,74 a bus wash and also 763 01:04:05,75 --> 01:04:11,12 a network operating center we intend think we will always maintain some buses that 764 01:04:11,13 --> 01:04:17,04 five mile road route out of there rather than all out of Jackson Road but that use 765 01:04:17,05 --> 01:04:23,31 at that site will be greatly reduced this isn't it this is the red bounding box 766 01:04:23,32 --> 01:04:28,27 shows the site at Jack the corner of Jackson and Plank Road I think we all know it 767 01:04:28,28 --> 01:04:34,41 is the portion of the berry turkey farm. This is schematic of what it would look 768 01:04:34,56 --> 01:04:37,48 what the facility would look like on that site and 769 01:04:37,49 --> 01:04:43,69 a more detail drawing of. What the internals of that 770 01:04:44,27 --> 01:04:49,21 facility would look like this is the five mile line Road site the two wide white 771 01:04:49,22 --> 01:04:52,06 boxes are not being touched at all in this project that's 772 01:04:52,07 --> 01:04:57,60 a pole barn and the existing office building the blue box that is the existing 773 01:04:57,84 --> 01:05:03,25 maintenance facility for the busses will be partially renovated the top here you 774 01:05:03,26 --> 01:05:07,81 can see is sort of the existing big open space that it is right now for 775 01:05:08,19 --> 01:05:11,78 a bus garage it'll be split up a little bit to turn be turned into 776 01:05:11,79 --> 01:05:16,30 a waiting room as will be rooting out of there a bus wash and 777 01:05:16,31 --> 01:05:22,75 a network operating smattering green. And finally there is in this project 778 01:05:22,76 --> 01:05:25,05 a little bit of scope for the building for 779 01:05:25,26 --> 01:05:32,14 a trail and high school in terms of renovation and repair work. That 780 01:05:32,15 --> 01:05:36,98 was identified in the building condition survey in the last meeting we added to 781 01:05:36,99 --> 01:05:43,47 this scope the RIP replacement of the existing chiller plant at the high school as 782 01:05:43,48 --> 01:05:49,04 you know that's out currently out of operation it is past its end of useful life 783 01:05:49,71 --> 01:05:54,76 and so we added it to this as the most expeditious and cost effective way to to be 784 01:05:54,77 --> 01:06:00,20 able to address that. With all the changes and you've seen different budgets as we 785 01:06:00,21 --> 01:06:05,44 moved along we are at total estimated budget of forty two million three hundred 786 01:06:05,45 --> 01:06:11,62 thousand dollars so that's what our proposition will propose. This is 787 01:06:12,55 --> 01:06:13,63 you have in your package 788 01:06:13,64 --> 01:06:18,01 a much longer version of this with all of the required legal language this is 789 01:06:18,02 --> 01:06:19,05 already too long for 790 01:06:19,06 --> 01:06:24,19 a slide but I just really wanted you to be able to see sort of those key three key 791 01:06:24,20 --> 01:06:25,79 points that total budget 792 01:06:25,80 --> 01:06:31,74 a total estimated authorization not estimate in total authorization based on our 793 01:06:31,75 --> 01:06:36,18 estimated budget of forty two million three hundred ten so that's the amount we may 794 01:06:36,19 --> 01:06:42,25 not spend more than we are proposing that of that we will use seventeen million 795 01:06:42,26 --> 01:06:47,16 dollars from our capital reserves and we will have authority to borrow up to twenty 796 01:06:47,17 --> 01:06:53,89 five three ten to the balance of. The balance of the cost of the project. 797 01:06:54,82 --> 01:07:00,54 Here again are those three key assumptions forty two million dollars three ten 798 01:07:00,55 --> 01:07:03,67 voter authorization the money from reserves and just 799 01:07:03,68 --> 01:07:08,50 a reminder that the state of New York shares in the cost of these projects so about 800 01:07:08,51 --> 01:07:13,15 seventy four percent of this project of the eligible expenses of the project not of 801 01:07:13,16 --> 01:07:19,90 every dollar spent but of the eligible expenses is is aided for us at seventy about 802 01:07:19,91 --> 01:07:26,36 seventy four percent this is this the timing in part of this project what we've 803 01:07:26,37 --> 01:07:32,19 been working towards it for some years because we know the changes that are coming 804 01:07:32,28 --> 01:07:32,98 to us as 805 01:07:32,99 --> 01:07:37,47 a result of the refinancing of our outstanding debt it's going to create additional 806 01:07:37,48 --> 01:07:43,83 state aid as we move forward we reduced our expenses the state is tied to 807 01:07:44,80 --> 01:07:50,24 is somewhat independent of that at this point so we'll have an increase in state 808 01:07:50,25 --> 01:07:55,56 aid into the district we're using that in part to offset some of the expenses of 809 01:07:55,57 --> 01:08:00,96 this project so our goal here is to maintain the positive cash flow the flow of 810 01:08:00,97 --> 01:08:07,62 cash over the mill over the expenses so the stage or district in comparison to 811 01:08:07,63 --> 01:08:13,20 our in comparison to our expenses for debt service is right now positive by about 812 01:08:13,21 --> 01:08:13,78 a million and 813 01:08:13,79 --> 01:08:17,53 a half dollars we receive every year because of Cash projects that we've done in 814 01:08:17,54 --> 01:08:19,52 the past about a million and 815 01:08:19,53 --> 01:08:25,75 a half and stayed more than we spend in debt service we'd like we'd like to manage 816 01:08:25,76 --> 01:08:28,03 that and not allow that to grow because it creates 817 01:08:28,04 --> 01:08:33,39 a problem in future budgets but also take advantage of that opportunity so that 818 01:08:33,48 --> 01:08:39,75 this is the current plan for financing that of that potential death the twenty five 819 01:08:39,76 --> 01:08:44,43 million dollars in debt and as you can see what it does is it levels that that 820 01:08:44,49 --> 01:08:47,76 positive cash flow out into the future pushes it out 821 01:08:47,77 --> 01:08:53,58 a number of years. And allows us to continue on and in that stable environment. 822 01:08:54,52 --> 01:08:59,56 Terms of the timeline we've looked at this at lots of meetings as things have 823 01:08:59,57 --> 01:09:04,61 turned blue as we've moved along tonight at December twelfth we'll schedule the 824 01:09:04,62 --> 01:09:10,08 vote date the tentative date in your packet is February thirteenth in between then 825 01:09:10,09 --> 01:09:12,98 and now we're in the process right now of discussing and scheduling 826 01:09:12,99 --> 01:09:17,67 a public meeting will want to have one more public big public meeting to explain 827 01:09:17,68 --> 01:09:24,43 this to the. To the. To our taxpayers and Nancy of we picked 828 01:09:24,44 --> 01:09:30,42 a date but it's just went through February fifth Thank you know we'll be finalizing 829 01:09:30,43 --> 01:09:36,07 that and making that knowing we're in the process now where we've begun the process 830 01:09:36,08 --> 01:09:42,79 of. The newsletter that will inform folks about this and provide them additional 831 01:09:42,80 --> 01:09:47,95 information we'll have that public airing and then again the vote on February 832 01:09:47,96 --> 01:09:53,44 thirteenth. Assuming that the votes are positive this is we wanted to provide some 833 01:09:53,45 --> 01:09:54,15 information on 834 01:09:54,16 --> 01:10:00,13 a tentative timeline so we'll split it up this will probably be submitted at least 835 01:10:00,14 --> 01:10:05,89 in two different packages to s.e.d for approval but we would include the chiller 836 01:10:05,90 --> 01:10:12,21 work because it's fairly modest. Because there's some interest in getting that done 837 01:10:12,26 --> 01:10:13,27 fairly quickly as 838 01:10:13,28 --> 01:10:19,91 a repair. Would be submitting that very quickly after the vote we'd anticipate an 839 01:10:19,92 --> 01:10:25,58 s.e.d review between March and November twenty eighth teen if that's true we would 840 01:10:25,59 --> 01:10:31,99 be able to bid and award at the end of the eighty nine thousand school year and 841 01:10:32,00 --> 01:10:38,19 then over the course of the summer the summer of nineteen complete the required 842 01:10:38,20 --> 01:10:43,17 construction so that as we come back to school for the nineteen twenty school year 843 01:10:43,74 --> 01:10:49,97 that plant would be back into operation the remainder of the work could look like 844 01:10:49,98 --> 01:10:55,44 this so again we need to were moving out of the plan. Stage we're moving out of the 845 01:10:55,45 --> 01:10:55,95 design of 846 01:10:55,96 --> 01:11:01,74 a project stage and will be begin moving into the actual design of the project some 847 01:11:01,75 --> 01:11:07,09 phasing work will have to decide what we build and when but tentatively this is 848 01:11:07,10 --> 01:11:11,56 what one schedule could look like so March through October of eighteen would be 849 01:11:11,57 --> 01:11:17,20 designed the actual completion of the drawings the engineering and the 850 01:11:17,21 --> 01:11:18,53 architectural work for 851 01:11:18,54 --> 01:11:23,82 a submission to assay by November of twenty eighteen we asked 852 01:11:23,83 --> 01:11:28,26 a maid at the current schedule that that were would work would be at S C D for 853 01:11:28,27 --> 01:11:33,83 review between November of eighteen and September of nineteen once we receive 854 01:11:33,84 --> 01:11:35,00 approval from S.C.T. 855 01:11:35,01 --> 01:11:39,45 Which is our building permit once we have the necessary building permit we can 856 01:11:39,46 --> 01:11:45,45 build an award contracts and then begin construction perhaps in mid does in mid two 857 01:11:45,46 --> 01:11:51,48 thousand and nineteen so December of nineteen and construction would continue. For 858 01:11:51,49 --> 01:11:58,19 the entire project through three year period August. Twenty 859 01:11:58,99 --> 01:12:04,06 hard to say that even twenty twenty two. So you know it's 860 01:12:04,07 --> 01:12:06,94 a long process but there is certainly 861 01:12:06,95 --> 01:12:10,08 a lot of work to be done and we want to give people 862 01:12:10,09 --> 01:12:15,67 a sense of that as they go towards the poles so with that there was fairly quick I 863 01:12:15,68 --> 01:12:17,46 think in a bit of 864 01:12:17,47 --> 01:12:21,17 a ten thousand foot overview but I know you've been through it before and much of 865 01:12:21,18 --> 01:12:25,24 it in greater detail than this so are there any questions what members. 866 01:12:30,42 --> 01:12:36,86 Thank you very much so with that. I would like to talk 867 01:12:36,87 --> 01:12:43,51 a little bit about. Fiscal stress our budget forecast reserves and budget 868 01:12:43,52 --> 01:12:47,24 forecasts reserves and I'd also like to thank Vic and Gary for showing up on 869 01:12:47,25 --> 01:12:50,07 a snowy night when you didn't have to I appreciate it. 870 01:13:05,77 --> 01:13:11,75 Thank you very much thank thank you very much for coming. And thank YOU HAVE TO 871 01:13:11,82 --> 01:13:17,24 THANK YOU THANK YOU I'M GOING to spare. I have lots of information here. 872 01:13:18,51 --> 01:13:20,09 I know you have the X. 873 01:13:20,10 --> 01:13:23,25 Tract of the powerpoint which goes on for 874 01:13:23,34 --> 01:13:28,50 a great number of slides I'm not going to go through much of it in detail it's here 875 01:13:28,51 --> 01:13:32,94 for your information as is the much more complete package that you received as part 876 01:13:32,95 --> 01:13:36,89 of your budget package but I just want to talk about some of the highlights of this 877 01:13:37,59 --> 01:13:42,07 and review for the board really what it all means as we move forward into this 878 01:13:42,08 --> 01:13:47,40 budget process which is the sort of the key part of this so we begin our kind of 879 01:13:47,48 --> 01:13:52,41 conversation we always begin our conversation where the comptroller begins which is 880 01:13:52,42 --> 01:13:57,55 a discussion of fiscal stress the comptroller instituted this fiscal stress 881 01:13:57,56 --> 01:14:04,36 analysis or monitoring project. As. With really as 882 01:14:04,37 --> 01:14:06,24 a result of the tax cap and as 883 01:14:06,25 --> 01:14:12,40 a result of sort of the problems that school districts have begun to have as they 884 01:14:12,59 --> 01:14:18,86 struggle with life in that environment so and so you know and analysis of our 885 01:14:18,87 --> 01:14:22,72 budget condition and where we're going sort of be should begin with where you're at 886 01:14:22,76 --> 01:14:28,52 and what you're facing and so so we talk about how we begin our conversation with 887 01:14:28,84 --> 01:14:34,38 well how are we are we financially healthy are we under stress. And I and I have 888 01:14:34,47 --> 01:14:40,04 pointed out in the past that it's really you know it's we all have health might be 889 01:14:40,05 --> 01:14:45,85 good or might be not so good but we all have it and that's sort of true of fiscal 890 01:14:45,86 --> 01:14:46,49 health as well it's 891 01:14:46,50 --> 01:14:52,67 a continuum and we move along that continuum for better or worse as we move along 892 01:14:52,68 --> 01:14:59,17 so. In terms of fiscal stress. Though the 893 01:14:59,67 --> 01:15:06,24 components of what it looks like essentially are are you solvent can you pay your 894 01:15:06,25 --> 01:15:10,91 bills do you have cash solvency Are you good for thirty or sixty days is dear 895 01:15:10,92 --> 01:15:16,75 revenues equally or expanded to. Long run solvent see is can you meet your 896 01:15:16,76 --> 01:15:22,75 obligations out into the. Future and for us you know these are all possible sort of 897 01:15:22,76 --> 01:15:28,46 academic definitions of fiscal Strasser of solvency but for us what we really care 898 01:15:28,47 --> 01:15:33,58 about is fiscal or I'm sorry is service level solvency what our taxpayers care 899 01:15:33,59 --> 01:15:34,50 about what we care about as 900 01:15:34,51 --> 01:15:38,83 a board and about school administrators are can we continue to provide what we 901 01:15:38,84 --> 01:15:44,18 provide can we put continue to provide the level and quality of services that our 902 01:15:44,19 --> 01:15:49,73 communities come to expect and the comptroller proposes to help us in that analysis 903 01:15:49,74 --> 01:15:56,38 with bat with his monitoring system so they provide seven environmental. I'm sorry 904 01:15:56,49 --> 01:16:01,89 seven financial indicators six environmental indicators they're not perfect they're 905 01:16:01,90 --> 01:16:06,93 not perhaps even the best but they were selected by the comptroller because it's 906 01:16:06,94 --> 01:16:13,59 data that he can get fairly easily and they say something about the 907 01:16:13,60 --> 01:16:18,75 condition of the school district so. I won't go through these there's there's more 908 01:16:18,76 --> 01:16:22,78 information about them in your packet but I'll just touch on what they are and you 909 01:16:22,79 --> 01:16:29,05 can see because I've graphed them about where we are in Penfield so 910 01:16:29,62 --> 01:16:34,48 change in property value if your property value over time is declining it probably 911 01:16:34,49 --> 01:16:37,85 says something about the health of your school district our property values have 912 01:16:37,86 --> 01:16:42,08 increased and you can see in Monroe County at least we're about in the middle of 913 01:16:42,09 --> 01:16:44,75 the pack change unenrolled meant this is 914 01:16:44,76 --> 01:16:48,73 a multi-year change in enrollment enrollments across all of Monroe County have 915 01:16:48,74 --> 01:16:51,27 decreased You know this is 916 01:16:51,28 --> 01:16:55,80 a trailing average I'll speak more to that end. A little bit but it's from twelve 917 01:16:55,81 --> 01:17:01,77 through sixteen. We know tonight that our and Romans are increasing at the 918 01:17:01,78 --> 01:17:07,42 elementary level and in fact you can see here that overall we lost during that 919 01:17:07,43 --> 01:17:13,29 period of time the least of the least of his tricks and Monroe county budget 920 01:17:13,30 --> 01:17:18,33 approval percentages we routinely pass or budget at the sixty percent level that 921 01:17:18,34 --> 01:17:23,54 hasn't changed really. Over the course of the last three years our graduation rate 922 01:17:23,55 --> 01:17:27,47 is amongst the three highest in the county and we have 923 01:17:27,48 --> 01:17:34,47 a very low rate of free and reduced lunch. Students in the free and reduced lunch 924 01:17:34,48 --> 01:17:40,68 program so you can sort of intuitively guess I think the answer for those. 925 01:17:41,80 --> 01:17:48,67 Those those environmental factors that the comptroller would not project us to 926 01:17:48,68 --> 01:17:54,22 be in fiscal stress in terms of the financial indicators that story pretty much 927 01:17:54,23 --> 01:17:59,85 carries over assigned fund balance over expenditures so this is how much of your 928 01:17:59,86 --> 01:18:06,12 budget are you appropriating. In essentially one shot revenue and as you can see 929 01:18:06,44 --> 01:18:06,68 more 930 01:18:06,69 --> 01:18:10,33 a little bit above the average for the county but pretty close to the middle of the 931 01:18:10,34 --> 01:18:16,48 pack total fund balance over expenditures were high but we've been building up to 932 01:18:16,98 --> 01:18:22,48 tonight's capital project with your adoption tonight. The 933 01:18:23,43 --> 01:18:29,19 resolution for tonight's capital project seventeen million comes out of that total 934 01:18:29,20 --> 01:18:33,61 fund balance we fall back well into the middle of the pack and we'll begin again 935 01:18:34,58 --> 01:18:38,92 building towards our next project operating deficit so again not 936 01:18:38,93 --> 01:18:42,71 a concern for us cash and cash as 937 01:18:42,72 --> 01:18:47,59 a percentage of short term cash and short term investments as 938 01:18:47,60 --> 01:18:54,43 a percentage over liabilities again. While we're certain. Not the 939 01:18:54,44 --> 01:18:58,28 highest We're in about the middle of the pack and cash as 940 01:18:58,29 --> 01:19:03,31 a percentage of monthly expenditures again in the middle of the pack so I think it 941 01:19:03,32 --> 01:19:03,68 shouldn't be 942 01:19:03,69 --> 01:19:08,08 a surprise to you based on the Comptroller's report then that we are not in fiscal 943 01:19:08,09 --> 01:19:14,14 stress are score for fiscal stress for the upcoming year we estimate to be at about 944 01:19:14,15 --> 01:19:19,53 six percent environmental zero and the comptroller doesn't consider us in stress 945 01:19:19,54 --> 01:19:25,25 until we had twenty five percent so. Not in stress nothing to worry about right 946 01:19:26,05 --> 01:19:32,81 the. The the thing about that whole system though is that it's a is that it's 947 01:19:32,82 --> 01:19:37,87 a trailing system it looks backwards you know by the time you by the time you're 948 01:19:37,88 --> 01:19:43,07 borrowing money for example one of the one of the. Two it were two of the 949 01:19:43,08 --> 01:19:46,41 indicators they don't even include because we don't borrow on 950 01:19:46,42 --> 01:19:49,43 a short term basis for cash flow but I think that's 951 01:19:49,44 --> 01:19:51,18 a good example once you're borrowing on 952 01:19:51,19 --> 01:19:55,14 a short term basis for cash flow all of your other indicators are probably bad 953 01:19:55,96 --> 01:20:00,15 you'll be in fiscal stress but it's sort of too late it's sort of the driving off 954 01:20:00,16 --> 01:20:03,40 of a cliff analogy your wheels are in the air and they tell you you've got 955 01:20:03,41 --> 01:20:09,45 a problem so so the idea is that you should be looking forward rather than 956 01:20:09,46 --> 01:20:13,09 backwards backwards informs us it tells us how we're doing it tells us what the 957 01:20:13,10 --> 01:20:18,45 comptroller has to say about us but it doesn't really inform our future and we have 958 01:20:18,46 --> 01:20:24,10 that I own on service level solvency can we continue to do this into the future and 959 01:20:24,11 --> 01:20:24,61 that has 960 01:20:24,62 --> 01:20:28,96 a lot to do with decisions that the board makes and the and that we make as we move 961 01:20:28,97 --> 01:20:29,62 forward into 962 01:20:29,63 --> 01:20:35,46 a budget so about seventy five percent of our salary is of our budget is salary and 963 01:20:35,47 --> 01:20:38,29 benefits everything else composes only about 964 01:20:38,30 --> 01:20:43,74 a quarter in terms of the revenue side of our budget sixty five percent of our 965 01:20:43,75 --> 01:20:50,39 budget is provided to us by the taxpayers and that's kept. Twenty seven percent of 966 01:20:50,40 --> 01:20:55,85 our of our budget comes to us in the form of state aid so all the other stuff that 967 01:20:55,86 --> 01:20:59,86 we spend lots of time worrying about and talking about really only composes eight 968 01:20:59,87 --> 01:21:05,68 percent of our budget sixty five percent of our budget kept by that tax gap while 969 01:21:05,69 --> 01:21:06,30 it's not really 970 01:21:06,31 --> 01:21:11,76 a cap we can exceed it it's exceedingly difficult to do so so you know there are 971 01:21:11,77 --> 01:21:17,85 some challenges there. And stayed out of our hands you know we can advocate we can 972 01:21:17,86 --> 01:21:23,70 advocate along with our peers but really the the decisions. That are made and the 973 01:21:23,71 --> 01:21:29,78 money that's available really isn't something that's within our control. I always 974 01:21:29,79 --> 01:21:34,37 look back to history with regard to that that those two slides are not any 975 01:21:34,38 --> 01:21:37,60 different than they ever have been we've never you know we're 976 01:21:37,61 --> 01:21:41,78 a service organization schools are about teachers in front of kids and that's 977 01:21:41,79 --> 01:21:47,22 people so you know will always be the majority of or of our budget will always be 978 01:21:47,23 --> 01:21:54,17 staff. And those other factors Penfield school district like Penfield will 979 01:21:54,18 --> 01:21:57,54 always have the majority of its money come from the taxpayer so that's not 980 01:21:57,55 --> 01:21:58,94 different and so 981 01:21:58,95 --> 01:22:05,45 a little bit of history I think provides perspective or we've managed. For ten 982 01:22:05,46 --> 01:22:09,22 years now for a decade we were a tax capped a street before there was 983 01:22:09,23 --> 01:22:15,93 a tax cap we had some higher years certainly. Historically but we've 984 01:22:15,94 --> 01:22:17,62 managed through 985 01:22:17,63 --> 01:22:23,08 a very long process to maintain within one point eight percent ten year average 986 01:22:23,65 --> 01:22:29,16 that's on the levy and you can see the rate actually. A bit last than that 987 01:22:29,17 --> 01:22:33,02 a negative in some years depending on growth of property in the community so I 988 01:22:33,03 --> 01:22:33,59 think we've done 989 01:22:33,60 --> 01:22:39,20 a good job. So what do we so what about this year what as we look forward we've 990 01:22:39,21 --> 01:22:42,28 talked about fiscal stress we've talked 991 01:22:42,29 --> 01:22:46,58 a little bit about budget and the pressures that that's going to put on our budget 992 01:22:46,59 --> 01:22:51,68 as we move forward we know tonight what we didn't know the last time we talked 993 01:22:51,69 --> 01:22:58,02 about this one additional factor for the tax base growth which is the amount of 994 01:22:58,64 --> 01:23:04,21 growth in our in our community of real bricks and mortar property so bought half of 995 01:23:04,22 --> 01:23:08,58 one percent so that's we've had some bigger years but this is 996 01:23:08,59 --> 01:23:14,09 a more typical year for us and this is what it looks like when you compare it to 997 01:23:14,10 --> 01:23:20,35 the county so certainly you know Webster Spencer port Fairport growing if I 998 01:23:20,36 --> 01:23:24,89 included Victor on this they're blowing up in terms of you know the increase of 999 01:23:24,90 --> 01:23:31,79 assessed valuation. But. For us more typical year 1000 01:23:31,80 --> 01:23:38,58 and about close to the average for the county. So we we look at it 1001 01:23:38,97 --> 01:23:43,89 so with those concerns we try and look at where we're at with regard to 1002 01:23:44,43 --> 01:23:50,31 a forecast of budget as we move into the future so. I. 1003 01:23:51,35 --> 01:23:57,75 Have included in terms of forecast what you build on and I forecast state 1004 01:23:57,76 --> 01:24:02,04 increasing at three percent per year into the future no changes in debt service 1005 01:24:02,92 --> 01:24:06,66 there will be huge changes in debt service as we move forward but I'm assuming that 1006 01:24:06,67 --> 01:24:11,04 they'll be offset by state increases we're trying our whole plan is to try and keep 1007 01:24:11,05 --> 01:24:17,07 out of the Million Five positive so if they both change. Proportionally it 1008 01:24:17,08 --> 01:24:21,53 shouldn't affect our forecast I assume a little bit of flattening of T.R.S. 1009 01:24:21,54 --> 01:24:22,06 In the R.S. 1010 01:24:22,07 --> 01:24:25,85 But I do assume that it increases steadily into the future we don't know that 1011 01:24:25,86 --> 01:24:30,99 that's true but that's the assumption we make here. And I assume that we always are 1012 01:24:31,00 --> 01:24:31,11 at 1013 01:24:31,12 --> 01:24:37,55 a maximum tax cap and if I do that you can see we pop up in the near future in terms 1014 01:24:37,56 --> 01:24:43,10 of budget surplus because we've been putting money aside and in past years for. 1015 01:24:44,19 --> 01:24:48,90 For capital projects I don't continue I don't propose that that continues in the 1016 01:24:48,91 --> 01:24:54,46 forecast it will what should but what this really shows is that March downward that 1017 01:24:54,47 --> 01:25:00,81 all that ever never ending March downward. Budget surplus as we move forward and 1018 01:25:00,82 --> 01:25:02,73 really that's not 1019 01:25:02,85 --> 01:25:08,82 a promise really that's just our reminder that the decisions that we're making as 1020 01:25:08,83 --> 01:25:14,04 we move forward sort of compound So sixty five percent of our budget or some so I 1021 01:25:14,05 --> 01:25:18,64 seventy five percent of our budget in terms of salaries and benefits you know 1022 01:25:18,74 --> 01:25:23,34 health insurance for example increasing at ten percent which is what I include in 1023 01:25:23,35 --> 01:25:30,01 the forecast salaries increasing. And those leveraging against. In my 1024 01:25:30,02 --> 01:25:36,60 forecast increasing costs of. Ers and T.R.'s 1025 01:25:36,84 --> 01:25:37,78 are going to be 1026 01:25:37,79 --> 01:25:42,47 a strain for our budget as we move into the future were OK I think is what this 1027 01:25:42,48 --> 01:25:48,36 tells us in the short term we are well reserved our budget is stable Our budget is 1028 01:25:48,37 --> 01:25:49,73 in a good spot and we are in 1029 01:25:49,74 --> 01:25:55,63 a spot to be able to maintain our programs and our services This shows for five 1030 01:25:55,64 --> 01:26:01,19 years. Based on this set of assumptions lots can change we keep updating this we 1031 01:26:01,20 --> 01:26:04,69 look at this every year we push it out we've pushed it out further into the future 1032 01:26:04,70 --> 01:26:11,30 we've been more concerned but just the idea is that we we know if we look 1033 01:26:11,31 --> 01:26:15,75 backwards we know we're fiscally stable if we look forwards we know that we're in 1034 01:26:15,79 --> 01:26:22,46 a state that we are. OK in the near future but I think then always I want to. 1035 01:26:23,50 --> 01:26:25,90 Just remind the board and ring that warning bell 1036 01:26:25,91 --> 01:26:29,20 a little bit that the decisions that we make now are going to have impacts into the 1037 01:26:29,21 --> 01:26:34,55 future but in the meantime our budgeting process the conservative budgeting process 1038 01:26:34,56 --> 01:26:36,46 that we've always use generates 1039 01:26:36,47 --> 01:26:42,08 a surplus. I go through in your package and it's there is some more discussion of 1040 01:26:42,09 --> 01:26:48,90 this in your in your. In your in the actual package also 1041 01:26:48,91 --> 01:26:51,92 includes you also have access of course to the Power Point but 1042 01:26:51,93 --> 01:26:56,59 a little discussion about what those surpluses have historically been and how 1043 01:26:56,60 --> 01:27:00,85 they've been managed and here you can see as we move through the year the 1044 01:27:00,86 --> 01:27:05,90 differences are very early are fairly small but the actual total amount of the 1045 01:27:05,91 --> 01:27:08,16 surplus as a percentage of budget not 1046 01:27:08,17 --> 01:27:15,16 a lot. In fact over the course of the last six years just about two percent it's 1047 01:27:15,17 --> 01:27:19,80 been three to two popped up a bit last year and we've been aiming for 1048 01:27:19,81 --> 01:27:25,23 a budget surplus just on the expense side of five percent we've been trending at 1049 01:27:25,24 --> 01:27:28,47 around six and last year we popped up 1050 01:27:28,64 --> 01:27:33,60 a little bit so we'll need to tend to that as we move forward into this budget 1051 01:27:33,61 --> 01:27:38,16 process I think over the. Course of the next couple years actually on the expense 1052 01:27:38,17 --> 01:27:43,57 side at least that's going to solve itself as we move into what I'm forecasting to 1053 01:27:43,58 --> 01:27:49,30 be much more difficult times terms of that recommended target for variance I said 1054 01:27:49,31 --> 01:27:54,80 we were aiming for five we've been at six and seven state guideline or the state 1055 01:27:54,86 --> 01:27:59,13 law for there is no law for schools there's no guideline there's no comptrollers 1056 01:27:59,14 --> 01:28:05,99 suggested there's not and but for towns there's ten percent. Or 1057 01:28:05,100 --> 01:28:09,45 auditor would always say it's proportional to fund balance which is why I got 1058 01:28:09,46 --> 01:28:13,56 a question about you know why do we include appropriated fund balance in our 1059 01:28:13,57 --> 01:28:14,69 reserve report it's not 1060 01:28:14,70 --> 01:28:20,33 a reserve and of course it's not but the more you appropriate really the more you 1061 01:28:20,34 --> 01:28:23,19 need because the more you know the looser 1062 01:28:23,20 --> 01:28:29,21 a budget you need actually because you need to be able to manage that. You need to 1063 01:28:29,22 --> 01:28:35,75 be able to manage that revenue source on that side or your budget so. We're at 1064 01:28:35,79 --> 01:28:42,34 about two percent. So that would that would it would indicate that we should be in 1065 01:28:42,49 --> 01:28:43,95 probably at a low of two and 1066 01:28:43,96 --> 01:28:49,78 a half to perhaps five we're targeting five and we'll consider continue to monitor 1067 01:28:49,79 --> 01:28:53,45 that as we move into future years. Spent 1068 01:28:53,46 --> 01:28:58,58 a little bit of time comparing in both the document and this Power Point our 1069 01:28:58,59 --> 01:29:02,73 reserves our philosophy around the reserves the comptroller suggests that we talk 1070 01:29:02,74 --> 01:29:09,73 about this and comparing our our. Philosophy for this really with 1071 01:29:09,74 --> 01:29:14,38 what the comptroller guidance would offer and I won't read this certainly there's 1072 01:29:14,39 --> 01:29:20,60 lots here but it sensually we line up with. The Comptroller's philosophy reserves 1073 01:29:20,61 --> 01:29:24,44 are necessary he would agree with that reserves need to be managed we need to be 1074 01:29:24,45 --> 01:29:30,77 thoughtful about how we how we establish them and how we use them tonight it's 1075 01:29:30,78 --> 01:29:35,20 a great example of that we're managing our budget for many many many years. As into 1076 01:29:35,21 --> 01:29:40,06 the future an important component of our budget and in part using reserves using 1077 01:29:40,07 --> 01:29:46,87 capital projects to do necessary work and also to be able to. Also be able 1078 01:29:46,88 --> 01:29:52,66 to manage that out into the future so we go through an inventory you have an 1079 01:29:52,67 --> 01:29:57,68 inventory of the reserves that we have when we've established them and for what 1080 01:29:57,69 --> 01:30:03,39 purposes. We have. Capital bus Reserve. 1081 01:30:04,52 --> 01:30:06,77 Capital reserve for bus purchase I should say 1082 01:30:06,81 --> 01:30:11,78 a capital reserve. Insurance reserve unemployment insurance reserve 1083 01:30:11,79 --> 01:30:17,30 a worker's comp tax or Shiori a small employee benefits reserve and 1084 01:30:17,31 --> 01:30:24,04 a retirement contribution reserve in your packet is a. Sort of is 1085 01:30:24,05 --> 01:30:28,50 a balance sheet showing the ins and outs during the course of the last year where 1086 01:30:28,51 --> 01:30:34,85 we were what we used what we put in the interest earned on each of them so here you 1087 01:30:34,86 --> 01:30:41,75 can see that for the restricted fund balances. We used reserves from bus 1088 01:30:41,76 --> 01:30:47,89 purchase and for. Employees Retirement we increased 1089 01:30:47,90 --> 01:30:53,55 a reserve to capital tonight we're we're proposing to spend much of that we took 1090 01:30:53,56 --> 01:30:59,94 two million dollars out of our debt service fund in order to refinance debt again 1091 01:30:59,95 --> 01:31:06,15 part of that long range plan that we're going to be rude reaping the reward of in 1092 01:31:06,16 --> 01:31:11,31 the next couple of years. And finally unassigned fund balances where we're at in 1093 01:31:11,32 --> 01:31:15,36 terms of assigned and unassigned fund balances unassigned being the four percent 1094 01:31:15,66 --> 01:31:21,62 and assigned being the what we appropriate for reduction of taxes so about two 1095 01:31:21,63 --> 01:31:27,82 million dollars per year this is what that pilots like overall in terms of our 1096 01:31:27,83 --> 01:31:33,11 total reserve picture you can see that about sixty five percent of our reserves are 1097 01:31:33,12 --> 01:31:38,72 for capital and the remainder of the reserves are for their stated purposes. 1098 01:31:41,02 --> 01:31:43,04 And finally I'll close with just 1099 01:31:43,05 --> 01:31:48,41 a series of recommendations where we're at in terms of reserves our unemployment 1100 01:31:48,42 --> 01:31:52,91 Reserve is very small it's really only adequate for about thirteen people for one 1101 01:31:52,92 --> 01:31:59,76 year so rather than use it on an annual basis we maintain it against. Spike so in 1102 01:31:59,77 --> 01:32:05,64 years when we have more people on an unemployment than less we can use it to buffer 1103 01:32:05,64 --> 01:32:12,62 . Those changes employee benefit accrued liability this is really not available for 1104 01:32:12,63 --> 01:32:19,41 use on an ongoing basis it's maintained for one of our units that 1105 01:32:19,42 --> 01:32:19,86 has 1106 01:32:20,18 --> 01:32:27,08 a benefit in retirement so. Six days convert if in this group and 1107 01:32:27,09 --> 01:32:31,56 become available so we adjusted it's about seventy thousand dollars in total we 1108 01:32:31,57 --> 01:32:36,99 adjust it at year end tax or Shiori is going to be important this year this is for 1109 01:32:36,99 --> 01:32:39,35 . This is for 1110 01:32:39,90 --> 01:32:44,36 a reserve for claims made against the school district for commercial properties 1111 01:32:44,37 --> 01:32:45,44 that claim to be over 1112 01:32:45,45 --> 01:32:52,22 a sassed. We've been. We try to maintain that. About fifty 1113 01:32:52,23 --> 01:32:57,89 percent to seventy five percent of the outstanding claims we've paid off over the 1114 01:32:57,90 --> 01:33:01,76 course of the last year several successful claims that as they've gone through the 1115 01:33:01,77 --> 01:33:05,58 court process and we haven't added any anything to it in 1116 01:33:05,59 --> 01:33:09,73 a number of years so we should look at the funding level of that as we move forward 1117 01:33:09,74 --> 01:33:15,64 we're currently at about forty four percent of the outstanding cases so as we move 1118 01:33:15,65 --> 01:33:21,28 forward into the next funding cycle we should think about whether that balance is 1119 01:33:21,29 --> 01:33:26,74 adequate. Workers Compensation. We'd appropriated 1120 01:33:26,75 --> 01:33:33,72 a half million dollars out of that reserve into this year. In revenue 1121 01:33:33,73 --> 01:33:39,74 into this year so we should this recommends that we consider that as we move 1122 01:33:39,75 --> 01:33:44,48 through this budget cycle and either reappropriated into next year or if it's not 1123 01:33:44,49 --> 01:33:51,44 necessary. Or potentially use it. Transfer that funds into 1124 01:33:51,48 --> 01:33:54,55 those funds if they are finally available into 1125 01:33:55,05 --> 01:34:00,16 a capital reserve to begin refunding capital reserves. After tonight we will be 1126 01:34:00,17 --> 01:34:04,87 down to approximately eight hundred thousand dollars in capital reserve and we'll 1127 01:34:04,88 --> 01:34:10,53 need to begin the process over the next many years accumulating funds for our next 1128 01:34:10,54 --> 01:34:17,25 project which will come faster than we think I can't believe that. That weren't 1129 01:34:17,26 --> 01:34:22,67 we've come this far bust purchase reserve we talk about this every year we buy all 1130 01:34:22,68 --> 01:34:28,26 of our buses every year. Through a combination of money from reserve and 1131 01:34:28,27 --> 01:34:34,14 a combination of money budgeted into the budget. That allows us to avoid spikes in 1132 01:34:34,15 --> 01:34:40,01 the budget when in years when we have relatively more buses to be purchased. We can 1133 01:34:40,02 --> 01:34:46,80 use the reserve to offer that impact. Retirement contribution 1134 01:34:46,81 --> 01:34:53,13 reserve again this is maintained for spikes in the retirement in the employees 1135 01:34:53,14 --> 01:34:57,34 retirement contribution and we've used two hundred fifty thousand in sixteen 1136 01:34:57,35 --> 01:35:03,51 seventeen one hundred thousand was brought into this year we should continue as 1137 01:35:03,52 --> 01:35:05,60 this year's budget cycle moves on we'll make 1138 01:35:05,61 --> 01:35:10,34 a determination as to the appropriate level and we'll review those balances 1139 01:35:10,35 --> 01:35:15,25 a year end as to what makes sense and family debt service fund this is down about 1140 01:35:15,26 --> 01:35:20,67 where it needs to be we'll want to maintain some of that as we move through the 1141 01:35:20,68 --> 01:35:27,47 course of this next project but. We started at six million we took two million 1142 01:35:27,48 --> 01:35:33,50 dollars out for the refinancing we will use two million dollars for financing 1143 01:35:33,51 --> 01:35:38,29 against the debt that we will be issuing for this project which will leave about 1144 01:35:38,30 --> 01:35:43,83 two million dollars in the reserves so that's been spent down fairly steeply over 1145 01:35:43,84 --> 01:35:49,77 the course of the last few years it builds up source of funds for that is actually 1146 01:35:49,78 --> 01:35:54,02 interest to earnings on. Moneys held as you go through 1147 01:35:54,03 --> 01:35:59,51 a project so it'll start to creep back up as we as we go through the next project 1148 01:36:00,51 --> 01:36:06,88 insurance reserve we reduced. By. What 1149 01:36:06,89 --> 01:36:11,32 a million five last year there's approximately five hundred thousand dollars left 1150 01:36:11,33 --> 01:36:16,04 in it now which is the balance that our insurance agent suggests we maintain so 1151 01:36:16,64 --> 01:36:19,55 we'll maintain that take a look at the balance and take 1152 01:36:19,56 --> 01:36:24,30 a look at outstanding claims at year end to make sure that we're that we're 1153 01:36:24,31 --> 01:36:30,76 adequately funded and finally capital again total reserves and capital you saw this 1154 01:36:30,77 --> 01:36:36,03 on the pie chart seventeen eight seventeen zero be used for the additions project 1155 01:36:36,04 --> 01:36:40,57 will be down to about eight hundred thousand dollars and that reserve so. We'll. 1156 01:36:42,29 --> 01:36:46,41 Begin to move forward we'll need to think about as we move forward refunding that 1157 01:36:46,42 --> 01:36:52,21 reserve and buildings and sort of beginning that long process of building it up as 1158 01:36:52,22 --> 01:36:55,07 we move forward to be able to balance 1159 01:36:55,08 --> 01:37:01,70 a future capital project. Hopes So that was that I know there's an awful lot there 1160 01:37:01,71 --> 01:37:07,62 but I and I went through fairly quickly but. I wanted to be conscious of your time 1161 01:37:07,63 --> 01:37:12,18 and of the weather is there any are there any questions Is there anything I went 1162 01:37:12,19 --> 01:37:15,97 through too quickly or that I could go through in more detail be happy to answer. 1163 01:37:17,05 --> 01:37:21,97 Members and just this wasn't so much and they have you know that every year looking 1164 01:37:21,98 --> 01:37:28,17 at the list every year pop ice just keeps Yeah it's coming every year and it's 1165 01:37:28,18 --> 01:37:33,83 still on there yeah yeah it's and although there is a it took me 1166 01:37:33,84 --> 01:37:36,12 a long time to figure this out but there is 1167 01:37:36,13 --> 01:37:42,47 a rhythm to that so for the for the. Those commercial 1168 01:37:42,48 --> 01:37:47,76 vendors commercial entities like Popeye's it cost them really very little to file 1169 01:37:47,77 --> 01:37:53,92 the tax or petition and that sort of holds their place but to go forward and to go 1170 01:37:53,93 --> 01:37:58,14 to court and to do the work that is required to. 1171 01:38:00,24 --> 01:38:04,69 Get potentially the tax reduction they need to pay an attorney they might need to 1172 01:38:04,70 --> 01:38:06,99 get an appraisal a commercial appraisal and there's 1173 01:38:07,00 --> 01:38:12,67 a cost to that so what they tend to do is file file file file and then when they 1174 01:38:12,68 --> 01:38:18,28 get enough in the pile five years worth seems to be fairly typical then when you 1175 01:38:18,29 --> 01:38:22,02 spend for the appraisal and then when you go to court you're getting 1176 01:38:22,03 --> 01:38:25,57 a bigger bang for your buck if you go to court and have to do an appraisal for one 1177 01:38:25,58 --> 01:38:29,83 year worth of tax reduction it's not nearly as cool as if you can go and get 1178 01:38:29,84 --> 01:38:36,15 a. You know and get five years worth of tax reduction for the same money so I 1179 01:38:36,16 --> 01:38:37,76 expect there's 1180 01:38:37,77 --> 01:38:44,24 a number of cases on our on our That spreadsheet that have four or five years that 1181 01:38:44,25 --> 01:38:49,05 controversy right now so I'd expect to see I think in the next year or so they'll 1182 01:38:49,06 --> 01:38:54,02 start to go forward and the other one which I'm sure you might not know the answer 1183 01:38:54,03 --> 01:39:00,28 but the pen what apartments. Just said. I don't remember in this year they had 1184 01:39:00,29 --> 01:39:06,99 a couple of years outstanding and two of those years. We just refunded for there 1185 01:39:06,100 --> 01:39:10,96 was a settlement but they'd already filed for last year and that's still 1186 01:39:10,97 --> 01:39:15,54 a controversy so I'd expect and you know if things go the way they do these are do 1187 01:39:15,55 --> 01:39:20,35 I typically get these in August right after the Right after the rolls filed their 1188 01:39:20,45 --> 01:39:25,66 rolls finalized. So I'd expect to see him do it again and build up 1189 01:39:25,67 --> 01:39:29,96 a couple years and then go back just seems like their assessment their claim is 1190 01:39:29,97 --> 01:39:35,72 like three million dollars less than. What the tell me is that is I wonder if 1191 01:39:35,73 --> 01:39:42,07 something happened there or they were just sometimes. Sort of depends on some of 1192 01:39:42,08 --> 01:39:46,36 the attorneys are very aggressive about what they can I think there is no harm and 1193 01:39:46,37 --> 01:39:49,12 I ask you to mean so you'll see 1194 01:39:49,13 --> 01:39:53,22 a ten million dollar property and that court paperwork will be and we think it's 1195 01:39:53,23 --> 01:39:58,41 assessed it should be assessed at five hundred thousand dollars it's clearly not 1196 01:39:58,47 --> 01:40:00,83 reasonable but it drives 1197 01:40:00,84 --> 01:40:07,83 a stake in the ground I think from from the conversation OK thanks. Mark and it 1198 01:40:07,84 --> 01:40:09,01 would send and I and then 1199 01:40:09,02 --> 01:40:13,92 a mark would say this. The important thing that people understand is this is 1200 01:40:13,93 --> 01:40:20,47 between the property owner in the town by standards exactly exactly we depending on 1201 01:40:20,48 --> 01:40:26,82 the size of the claim and the and the nature of it we can intervene that is we file 1202 01:40:26,83 --> 01:40:27,55 paperwork with 1203 01:40:27,56 --> 01:40:33,59 a court saying we're an interested party in this and we want to be able to. And we 1204 01:40:33,60 --> 01:40:39,49 want to be notified and we want to be part of any saddle meant. But but. 1205 01:40:40,90 --> 01:40:44,14 But that doesn't Nessus that doesn't that gives us that holds 1206 01:40:44,15 --> 01:40:49,14 a seat at the table for us if you will really those negotiations are between the 1207 01:40:49,15 --> 01:40:54,67 town the town assassin or and the entity and where you're sort of take that back 1208 01:40:54,68 --> 01:41:00,91 seat it allows us to make sure we. No what's going on but if we disagree with the 1209 01:41:00,92 --> 01:41:05,50 settlement we can't stop but what we can do then is take our own attorney we can 1210 01:41:05,51 --> 01:41:09,83 intervene go back to we've never done that I mean that's not our expertise that's 1211 01:41:09,84 --> 01:41:15,67 not. You know we do what we need to do to make sure that we're as involved as we 1212 01:41:15,68 --> 01:41:22,50 can be but it's not our our fight really we don't have that. It's not our 1213 01:41:22,51 --> 01:41:27,07 role. And the other questions or comments. 1214 01:41:29,40 --> 01:41:30,02 That was quite 1215 01:41:30,03 --> 01:41:36,16 a bit. You know we always appreciate all the work that you do. You do 1216 01:41:36,17 --> 01:41:39,95 a lot you do it well and you know it's just 1217 01:41:39,96 --> 01:41:44,65 a good time of year to say thanks good. We appreciate what you do and we appreciate 1218 01:41:44,66 --> 01:41:47,16 the information you share to thank you. 1219 01:41:52,20 --> 01:41:56,90 That concludes superintendent reports.
