Untitled Page
At its regular meeting last night, the Board of Education covered a variety of topics, a few of which I’ll share here.
 - On October 28th, the teachers who earned their tenure appointment last spring will be recognized, along with an introduction of the new teachers.
- The incident last Friday where a person was seen possibly carrying a gun on Oak St. was reviewed. We have had numerous conversations with the Sheriff’s office, and specifically Under Sheriff Mike Woodcock, who have been very helpful. They are maintaining a patrol in the neighborhood, but there has been nothing to support the claim to this point. I am pleased that an employee was alert enough to let us know and the response of the staff at school was excellent!
- Many people use our Point of Sale system for the cafeteria. This allows parents to prepay for the meals their children purchase, and even to go on line to see what has been purchased! We use a $5.00 minimum threshold for each student. This means that you will be notified when the balance in your account falls below this amount. If you have 2 children, the notification occurs when you reach $10.00. If you have 4 children, the threshold is $20.00. If you do not want to be notified via e-mail, please go to the web site and delete your e-mail from the information provided.

 I would like to clarify some information on the purchase of the truck and loader proposition that will be before you on October 14, 2008 at the Special Vote. The truck that we intend to purchase is a F-350 pickup with a dump body on the back.
It is not a construction type truck as the Town and Village or County own. The loader is a tractor type vehicle with a bucket loader, that we would use to load leaves, dirt, snow, salt and sand into the back of the truck. Our use of this equipment is on a much smaller scale than the Village and the Town.
Sincerely,
Dr.Starr |

Upcoming Vote Information October 14 |
|
On October 14 the community will be asked to vote on the purchase of buses and a combination of a pay loader and a dump truck.
These are the key points:
Buses:
We have in place a bus replacement schedule. This allows us to trade our buses in for new ones when it is most advantageous for us financially. The logic is similar to that we use with trading in a car. We do it as the warranty expires and before the costs for repairs become exorbitant. The plan also accounts for the mileage on the buses and the trade in value for each one as that mileage increases.
