Report from Student Council Representative – Mr. Matthew Dzioba
Mr. Dzioba: Good evening, I have a short report for the Board tonight. The Student Council will be meeting next week to discuss some exciting plans for end of the year festivities. In the works is a possible battle of the bands for late May or early June.
With the recent warm weather, spring is on the forefront of all of our minds. The spring sports season is starting up, and several teams will kick off their seasons in the coming weeks. On April 1st, the Track team asks Board members and any interested members of the public to join them at the re-dedication of the John J. Mills Athletic center. It should be a great season on a great new track.
It's March, and for a lot of us (myself included), that means musical time. This year's musical, South Pacific, is well under way, and will take place at the end of the month. Students have been working hard over the past weeks not only to work on the show itself, but also to fundraise the money necessary to go on with the show.
With the conclusion of CAPT testing this week, and the fourth marking period less than a month away, WHS students are looking forward to an enjoyable finish to the year. Thank you.
Ms. Dzioba: Tonight, we have a new member of our Board, Ms. Kace Duplissie. She will be joining us once a month to give us an update on the Parent groups. Welcome to our Board.
Ms. Duplissie thanked Ms. Dzioba and stated there was no Report this evening.

2.Athletics Committee, Chris Lafferty, Chair
Dr. Erardi: The Athletic Committee recently met. As of twenty minutes ago, they had a full Agenda. Minutes will be forthcoming to Board of Education.

7.Cablevision, James Marks
Mr. Marks: The Cable Advisory Board has written a letter to the State Department of Utility Control requesting that the Cablevision license not be renewed until there is some physical standards set up for service. Evidently, the current standards are twenty years out of date and a lot of people are having problems with installation and things. Despite the Cable people meeting existing standards, they were standards set up long before technology reached what it is today. I had also requested, and this may be put in some further correspondence with the Department of Public Utility Control, that the Cable people be asked to have some kind of maximum time before you could actually get a person to talk to when you have a problem. We have a meeting coming up at the end of the month.

3. Update on 2006-2007 Budget

4. Report on Indoor Air Quality / Tools for School
The Superintendent of Schools and Administration will give an update on Indoor Air Quality / tools for School.
Dr Erardi introduced Mr. LoFrese to outline a new initiative to all of our schools.
Mr. LoFrese: At everyone’s spot tonight, I provided a packet. One item is a brochure that goes into some depth about the Tools For Schools program. I will touch on it briefly tonight. This is a U.S. EPA program for developing a proactive approach to indoor air quality issues.
Program is based on the following principles:
•Many concerns or problems can be prevented by the school community.
•Problems can often be solved using the skills of school staff.
•Expenditures and efforts to prevent these problems is a fraction of that required to solve them once developed.
It is a process by which the building occupants are trained to conduct a self study and make recommendations for improving or enhancing the facility's air quality.
Fortunately, the Connecticut Department of Public Health has some tools to help us do this and have provided those at no cost to the District:
•Training for committees to understand air quality and what affects it.
•Training to conduct walkthroughs and prioritize recommendations.
•Technical Assistance.
•"Tool Kits" for schools to use.
•Presentations to staff and administration.
Flipping through the packet, I have included a map of the State of CT and well over half of the Districts in the State of CT are using this program to improve indoor air quality in their schools.
The last page is a brief timeline, if you will, of where the District stands as far as implementing this program. In January, the CT Dept. of Public Health presented to School Administration. Most recently on March 1, we began the first training session, a three-hour session attended by approximately 30 personnel, ranging from principals to teachers, paraprofessionals and nurses to get an overview of the program. We will be corresponding with community members, staff in the building and parents over the next few weeks. Then, we will be moving to another training session in May. If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them.
Mr. Lambert: What account would this be drawn out of when there is a problem to be solved?
Mr. LoFrese: The process is, if there is a recommendation for an action to be taken out of school, that recommendation would come through Administration, and ultimately, it would either go through the Budget process or through Facilities Committee. Depending on what the item was, if it was a small item that could be handled at the school through the school staff, we would take care of that immediately. If it was a larger expenditure that wasn’t budgeted, we would have to go through Facilities and the Budget process.
Mr. Lambert: When that does happen? What account generally does that come out of? Do you know?
Mr. LoFrese: It would vary.
Mr. Lambert: I am concerned about the Maintenance account. That is was I am concerned about. Would that be drawn off of that account?
Mr. LoFrese: No, it would depend on the type of project. If it was a maintenance item, perhaps yes, but a larger scale construction project would go through the Construction account.
5.Swift Middle School Graduation
The Superintendent of Schools will be discussing the end of year dates and the grade 8 promotion at Swift Middle School. (See Attachment A.)
Dr. Erardi stated there were concerns and the beginnings of a remedy for the Swift Graduation. Citing the construction issues, contributing factors are the 60-70 less parking spots and the Auditorium and Gym being closed for use. There is not enough public space for everyone. A possibility is having the ceremony at Watertown High School on June 20, 2006 preceding the High Schools’ own graduation on June 21, 2006. More definitive information will be brought to the April meeting.
6. Advertising Campaign
Information regarding a piloting program for the advertising campaign for the Mills Complex to rejuvenate funds is attached and will be discussed by the Superintendent. (See Attachment B.)
Dr. Erardi introduced Mr. Griffin, the Advertising Chair.
Mr. Griffin: There was a lot of work done on this campaign by other members of the Board. I’d like to say that there is a letter going out to all area businesses and I would hope that everyone would take an active part in supporting us at the Mills Complex with the signage. It is important. I would also like to state that the revenues coming from this event does not go strictly for the Athletics funding. It will be used where the Board feels necessary.
J. Report from the Chairman
Ms. Dzioba: I really don’t have a formal report other than to say that Budget season is here. Keep tuned for further events.
K. Action Items – Adoption of Items to be Approved by Consent
a.Consideration of Approval of Letter Regarding State Mandates – Second Reading – Tabled February 27, 2006
Board Member James Marks has requested that the Board send a letter to our State Representatives and Senators and ask them to do what they can to reduce our burden of state mandates. A draft of this letter was presented for the first reading at the Board of Education’s meeting on February 27, 2006. The letter is presented this evening for the second reading and for full Board approval. (See Attachment C.)
Motion presented by Mr. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Mazzamaro, to remove this Item from the Table.
Discussion:
Ms. Dzioba: We are passing the letter around now, Jim. This was your idea. Would you like to discuss this?
Mr. Marks: Yes, just quickly to remind everybody while I have no expectations that anything miraculous is going to happen if we send this letter; that we will instantly be relieved of mandates. I do hope that we can pass this and maybe throw a pebble in the mandate pond and start a ripple that can become a wave and then maybe we’ll get something changed, eventually.
Ms. Dzioba: Yes, I agree with you. Unfunded mandates especially are difficult for our Budget.
Motion Passed Unanimously
(7-In Favor, 0-Opposed, 0-Abstained)
Motion presented by Mr. Marks, seconded by Mr. Mazzamaro, to adopt this letter as written and send to State Legislators.
Discussion:
Ms. Colangelo: My only concern is that it is basically only two sentences. I would think that we could expound on it a little bit and put a closing statement in it. It’s just a suggestion on my part.
Ms. Dzioba: Would it be advisable to send it to Sub-Committee to draft the letter?
Mr. Marks: My feeling is that, particularly given there is a short Legislative Session this year and this has been Tabled because of my absence, and because, in fact, it was deliberately written very briefly and broadly so that our Legislators have options in terms of how they might want to move with it. I am not an expert on the ins and outs of what goes on in Hartford, I would assume that Representative Williams and Senator Deluca are much more up on those machinations than we are. So, I deliberately wanted to leave them as much room as possible to perhaps move this to remove the reduction of mandates forward.
Ms. Colangelo: Will the letter be addressed to our Representatives?
Mr. Marks: Yes, that was my intent, one to Senator Deluca and one to Representative Williams.
Mr. Lambert: I also believe that we should keep it simple. This is one of many letters that have been sent already. It may not make a difference but, then again, it may get a groundswell. So, I believe we ought to submit it as we read it.
Mr. Mazzamaro: When you say, one of many, do you mean from us or other sources?
Mr. Lambert: No, from other towns.
Mr. Griffin: It might be appropriate to invite Senator Deluca and Sean Williams here to discuss this with them.
Ms. Dzioba: It’s an idea for a future meeting. In the meantime, we can send them the letter and maybe add a line that we would like to welcome them to any of our meetings so that we could discuss our position. If that is the sense, we could add that to the end. All in Favor of sending this letter with an invitation to our Representatives to come to one of our meetings as a closing statement to the letter?
Motion Passed Unanimously
(7-In Favor, 0-Opposed, 0-Abstained)
b. Consideration of Approval of Medication Policy – Second Reading
The Medication Policy was presented to the Board of Education for the first reading on February 27, 2006 and is presented this evening for the second reading and for Board approval. The Policy and Labor Sub-committee reviewed the Medication Policy at its January 25, 2006 meeting and recommends it to the full Board for approval. (See Attachment D.)
It is recommended that the Board approve of the Medication Policy effective immediately.

c. Consideration of Approval of Letter to State Representatives Regarding Special Education Expenditures in Connecticut – Second Reading
A draft of a letter to State Senators/State Representatives asking them to take steps in this session of the General Assembly to address the issue of special education expenditures in Connecticut public school districts was presented to the Board for the first reading on February 27, 2006. The letter is presented for the second reading tonight and for full Board approval. (See Attachment E.)
It is recommended that the Board approve of a letter to State Senators/State Representatives asking them to take steps in this session of the General Assembly to address the issue of special
education expenditures in Connecticut public school districts and authorize the Superintendent to send the letter.
Motion presented by Mr. Mazzamaro seconded by Mr. Griffin, that the Board approve of a letter to State Senators/State Representatives asking them to take steps in this session of the General Assembly to address the issue of special education expenditures in Connecticut public school districts and authorize the Superintendent to send the letter.
Discussion:
Dr. Erardi: The letter that the Board is looking to take action on is a letter that has been recommended to every Superintendent to share with every local Board in the State of CT. It recognizes that the promise to pay 40% of our Nation’s special education costs down through the local District, has not taken place. Again, as Mr. Lambert mentioned, this may not make a difference but it could be part of a groundswell to let all of the folks know in Washington; that the burden of special education for local taxpayers is becoming overwhelming.
Motion Passed Unanimously
