A
A
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under
god,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
Okay.
The
board
did
not
have
an
executive
session
tonight.
So
we
stick
to
item
four
comments
from
the
public.
Are
there
any
comments?
Tonight's
agenda
is
not
on
the
agenda
hearing
none.
A
Second,
all
in
favor
all
right,
so
that
question
carries
and
now
we
go
to
our
consent
agenda,
there's
no
special
services
agenda,
but
we
have
a
consent
agenda
for
personnel
six
point
one
and
for
business,
eight
point
ground:
gonna
get
a
motion
to
approve
them
all
in
favor
all
right.
Well,
with
that,
something
very.
A
I'm
my
family
included
and
you
you've
been
a
wonderful,
wonderful
teacher
and
we
are
so
excited
and
and
thrilled
that
you
now
can
take
a
leadership
role
in
wampus
and
we
just
know
that
there'll
be
so
many
exciting
great
things
to
come
as
you
as
you
go
into
that
role.
So
we
are
here
to
celebrate
that
tonight
and
to
just
say
that
we
really
appreciate
all
your
service
and
we're
looking
forward
to
your
service
in
a
new
capacity.
B
It's
been
decades
that
you've
been
in
byram
hills
and,
like
all
of
your
colleagues
who
are
sitting
around
you,
there's
a
commitment
to
the
students
in
this
community
that
cannot
be
surpassed.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
commitment.
You
bring
joy
to
teaching
and
learning
every
day
in
your
classroom
and
now
you're
just
going
to
do
that
in
a
different
capacity.
B
Your
work
on
site
based
has
helped
prepare
this
for
you.
You
work
on
in
district
initiatives,
you're
working
on
committees
with
tim,
and
I
all
in
preparation
and
although
byram
hills
has
had
great
success
in
our
succession
planning,
meaning
people
from
within
the
organization
trying
for
administrative
positions
just
because
you've
been
here
doesn't
mean
you
get
it,
and
we
know
that,
and
we
know
that
there's
fierce
competition
out
there,
but
you
were
number
one
and
we're
excited
for
you
in
that
position.
B
D
B
B
E
E
Congratulations.
That
lovely
note.
I
would
love
to
thank
honestly
everyone
for
the
board.
You
know
I've
served
for
20
years
in
the
district
and
as
teacher
as
for
some
of
your
student
of
some
of
your
children
and
now
in
this
capacity
I
really
can't
wait
to
see
the
great
things
that
we
can
do
together.
As
far
as
you
know,
peggy
dave
and
jen
and
tim
and
gina.
E
Quite
honestly,
I've
used
your
words
of
wisdom
in
my
teaching
and
I
definitely
want
to
use
your
expertise
moving
forward
into
this
new
role
and,
quite
honestly,
your
guidance
and
support
has
been
irreplaceable
and
I
will
move
on
to
that
to
my
wampus
family
and
friends.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
for
coming
to
support
me
honestly.
I
really
could
not
have
done
it
without
you
guys,
and
I
will
not
cry
right
now.
D
E
D
E
A
So
and
then
the
other
thing
that
we
had
in
our
consent
agenda
is
ms
roby
from
our
high
school
dedicated
math
teacher
for
many
years
bc.
Calculus
teacher-
I
know
this
year
and
probably
many
other
years
too,
is
retiring.
So
we
will
absolutely
have
the
opportunity
to
celebrate
her
retirement
as
we
go
into
the
spring
and
celebrate
many
retirements,
but
we
will.
She
will.
D
B
G
H
H
In
terms
of
the
revenue
side,
89
of
our
revenue
comes
from
our
real
property
taxes.
We
receive
only
four
percent
from
the
state
three
percent
of
our
revenues.
From
our
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes,
we
have
two
payment:
two
pilots
remaining
currently
three
percent
from
phone
balance
and
finally
other
revenues
of
one
percent.
H
H
Is
2.54
that's
reduced
a
little
bit
as
2.5.
We
received
a
little
bit
more
on
building
aid,
but
also
I
made
an
adjustment
in
terms
of
transportation
last
year,
so
it's
an
example.
So
last
year
I
do
an
exemption
based
on
how
much
costs
we
purchased.
How
much
you
need
to
take
out
the
difference
this
year.
I
just
I
didn't.
H
A
I
mean
you're,
talking,
10
15,
20
increases
and
we'll
get
another
increase
next
year
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you
know
they're,
debating
those
communities
about
the
tax
levy
and
what
it
should
be,
but
just
to
remind
our
community
that
we
did
not
get
that
state
aid
and,
in
fact,
our
state
aid.
Well,
the
foundation
aid
portion
went
up
three.
A
D
H
H
As
a
larger
budget
and
there's
a
terrible
budget
budget,
because
they're
getting
that
district,
they
have
to
put
it
into
the
budget
without
charging
more
taxes.
So
you'll
see
some
budgeted
budgets
that
are
four
and
a
half
five
percent,
but
their
tax
levy
will
be
one
percent
under
one
quarter.
Just
because
that
didn't
to
put
that
money
somewhere
in
the
budget
to
spend.
H
Again
in
previous,
please
take
a
look
at
previous
presentations.
You
could
get
a
little
more
information
about
how
the
changes
and
the
assessed
value
affect
the
tax
rate,
the
changes
in
the
tax
rate
on
a
yearly
basis.
This
is
just
a
slide
to
just
kind
of
help.
You
understand
that
you
see,
there's
various
shifts
on
a
year-to-year
basis
of
the
tax
rate
based
on
the
changes.
H
H
E
H
H
H
A
Any
questions
on
the
board
thanks
kelly.
Thank
you!
So
much!
Yes,
all
right!
So
we
go
to
9.5
pm
to
read
out
the
resolution.
I'll
first
ask
for
a
motion
to
to
approve-
or
I
guess
the
word
is-
to
adopt
the
resolution
for
the
2022-23
budget
and
approval
of
the
property
tax
report
card
and
the
school
district
notes.
So
a
second
second
okay.
A
Information
to
be
presented
on
the
school
district
budget
notice
regarding
the
2022-23
school
budget,
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
the
board
of
education
of
the
byron
hill,
central
school
district
adopts
the
proposed
2022-23
school
budget
in
the
amount
of
96
million
939
312
dollars
to
present
to
the
voters.
At
the
annual
meeting
on
may
17
2022
and
approves
the
following
proposition
proposition:
one
shall
the
board
of
education,
of
the
byron
hills
central
school
district
be
authorized
to
expend
for
budgetary
purposes
in
the
school
year?
A
2022-23
the
sum
of
96
million
939
312
and
to
levy
the
necessary
tax.
Therefore,
upon
the
taxable
property
of
the
school
district,
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
property
tax
report
card
and
the
school
district
budget
notice
are
hereby
approved
by
the
board
of
education
for
submission
to
the
state,
education
department
and
dissemination
to
the
public
in
accordance
with
law.
So
all
in
favor,
okay,.
H
H
A
And
the
current
proposal,
at
least
as
I
understand
it-
and
I
think
all
this
information
you
know
continues
to
come
out-
is
that
there's
some
fun
they're
they're
planning
on
putting
forth
to
voters
in
november
some
environmental
bond
for
the
state.
I
think
it's
it's
a
very
large
bond,
of
which
I
think
it's
500
million
dollars
of
that
if
it
passes
because
it
has
to
pass,
would
then
help
school
districts
from
a
financial
perspective.
A
A
At
this
point-
and
you
know
the
cost
curve
can
change
and
and
and
I'm
sure
the
ranges
of
the
buses
will
get
better.
But
at
this
point
the
economics
are
very,
very
you
know,
they're
challenging,
so
there'll
still
be
an
effort,
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
part
of
it
to
try
to
do
what
we
can
to
to
get
access
to
different
funds
at
the
state
level
and
maybe
even
the
federal
level.
A
So
there's
still
like
the
work
to
do
as
we
talk
to
our
legislative
delegation
to
try
to
get
help
with
this,
because
if
we
don't
get
help,
then
the
cost
does
fall
on
the
tax
on
the
on
the
property
tax
there
so
and
it's
going
to
be
substantial
cost
over
time,
not
right
away,
but
over
time
and
it's
lost,
so
we
don't
have
much
choice
so
and
it's
you
know.
Obviously,
we
all
wanna
to
do
everything
we
can
from
an
environmental
perspective,
but
we
also
want
to
try
to
pay
for
it
prudently.
H
D
H
G
A
Okay,
I
think
with
and
it's
the
problem
is
that
that
the
cost
of
the
buses
will
shift
over
time-
and
hopefully,
hopefully,
you'll
go
down
as
the
cost
as
they
produce
more
of
these
things.
But
getting
a
sense
of
the
financial
impact
over
the
next
10
years
would
be
useful,
because
I
think
it
would
also
put
us
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
talk
to
legislators
and
say
yeah.
We've
looked
at
this,
and-
and
this
is
the
potential
economic
impact
based
on
obviously
a
bunch
of
assumptions
about
how
much
this
will
cost.
A
Okay,
so
with
that,
we
go
to
there's
no
unfinished
business
tonight,
so
we
go
to
new
business,
and
now
we
have
actually
the
boces
budget.
Southern
westchester
boasts
budget
that
the
detail
was
in
the
packet
for
the
2022-23
school
year
and
on
this
one
we
need
to
adopt
as
well
give
me
one
second
to
get
into
it,
because
my
computer.
G
F
A
H
G
A
A
G
D
G
A
Okay,
so
at
the
meeting
of
byron,
hill's
board
of
education
held
on
tuesday
april
19,
2022
get
emotional,
jason
and
lara
that
one
vote
be
cast
for
robert
johnson
and
then
one
vote
be
casper
lynn,
frazier
mcbride,
to
serve
as
trustees
on
the
southern
westchester
board
of
cooperative
education
services
for
a
time
period
of
july,
1st
2022
through
june
30
2025,
all
in
favor
of
that,
okay,
all
right.
So
that
was
not
the
most
elegant,
but
we
got
it
done.
G
A
A
B
B
I
want
to
thank
samantha
milowitz
for
personally
inviting
me
and
tim
kaltenecker
to
see
her
pictures
of
the
fire
department.
It
was
really
talk
about
a
nice
community
event,
all
of
the
local
firemen
and
women
fire
persons.
I
don't
really
know
what's
correct
to
say,
but
they
arrived
to
see
her
pictures
because
they
were
all
of
the
fire
department
and
the
work
that
they're
doing.
It
was
really
amazing
to
just
see
the
community
event
come
together,
and
this
gives
you
a
sense
of
what
some
of
the
pictures
were.
B
B
Gallagher-
I
don't
know
if
I've
told
the
story
publicly
before,
but
we
had
a
car
smoking.
I
looked
out
the
window
and
I
saw
gina
cunningham
standing
next
to
a
student
and
smoke
coming
out
of
the
student's
car,
and
the
next
thing
I
saw
was
julie
gallagher
running
with
a
fire
extinguisher
under
her
arm
from
the
high
school
out
to
the
student
end
of
the
parking
lot
pop
open.
The
hood
of
this
car
that
was
in
flames
and
put
it
out
with
fire
extinguisher.
F
C
B
C
C
B
I
I
I
was
reading
a
few
months
ago,
a
report,
a
summary
of
a
report
from
the
folks
at
the
college
board
who
were
looking
into
what
leads
to
success
in
college
and
career,
and
they
had
a
few
conclusions
of
the
topic.
Students
should
study
and
one
of
them
was
coding,
and
they
say
this
that
with
computing,
the
internet,
big
data
and
artificial
intelligence,
now
the
essential
building
blocks
of
almost
every
industry,
any
young
person
who
can
master
the
principles
and
basic
coding
techniques
that
drive
computers
and
other
devices
will
be
more
prepared
for
nearly
every
job.
I
A
E
I
I
They
do
exercises
first,
then,
eventually,
kids
will
have
to
fly
through
an
obstacle
course.
Now.
These
are
drones
that
you
don't
move
by
hand
that
you
have
to
code
them
to
meet
certain
criteria,
so
there's
a
course
set
up
in
this
room
that
kids
will
have
to
get
the
drone
to
code,
the
drone
so
that
it
goes
through
the
course
and
learn
how
to
program
it.
So
these
are
some
pictures
of
students
learning
how
to
do
that
together.
Mr
lovelace,
pretty
much
lets
them
explore
and
then
I'll
show
just
a
quick
video
when
they.
I
Finally,
the
goal
of
the
first
activity
was
you
had
to
get
it
to
rise
and
then
yeah
the
you
had
to
calibrate
it
because
it
would
go
up
and
then
it
would
start
drifting.
So
you
have
to
calibrate
the
drone,
so
it
wouldn't
drift
then
have
to
do
push-ups.
The
goal
was
to
get
it
to
go
up
and
down
and
up
and
down-
and
that
was
the
first
lesson,
so
these
are
stupids
how.
I
F
I
I
I
don't
know
if
kids
can
be
doing
coding
at
this
young
age
and
then
cut
to
the
next
year
when
we're
really
excited
that
kids
are
doing
this
coding
of
these
robots,
and
you
may
have
seen
some
of
the
robots
we've
shared
some
examples
of
them
over
the
years
doing
you
know
as
early
as
kindergarten,
we
get
kids
starting
to
think
about
the
coding
aspect
and
what
goes
into
that
coding
and
the
learning
that
happens
so
coding
is
central
to
our
curriculum
now,
which
wasn't
really
there
about
eight
years
ago.
I.
C
I
That's
really
what
engineering
is
engineering
has
a
lot
of
different
components
to
it
and
when
you're
working
on
an
engineering
team,
you
might
be
the
electrical
engineer.
You
might
be
the
computer
engineer,
you
could
be
the
mechanical
engineer.
There's
all
these
different
components
that
play
to
different
kids
interests
or
strengths,
and
they
can
be
very
different.
I
A
mechanical
engineer
has
a
different
mindset
than
an
electrical
engineer,
for
example,
and
we
see
that
as
kids
go
through
the
program
and
they
take
to
different
parts
of
it
and
that's
why
the
working
in
teams
really
helps
them
is
not
sure
what
you
saw
exactly
at
the
high
school,
but
kids
will
take
on
different
roles
and
some
will
be
the
ones
that
really
love
to
fix
things
with
their
hands.
The
other
ones
are
really
loving.
The
coding.
F
And
they
were
very
vocal
about
it.
They
were
like
well
we're
a
good
team
because
I
like
to
build
and
he's
really
good
in
the
coding.
So
we
work
together
a
lot
yeah,
the
collaborative
work
yeah,
the
things
we
noted
in
the
high
school
in
particular,
we
were
just
saying
how
amazing
it
was
that
these
kids
were
working
so
well
together
on
and.
I
That's
exactly
what
kids
learn
about
is
that
we
need
each
other,
because
we
all
have
different
strengths
and
that's
part
of
sort
of
the
engineering
philosophy
is.
You
need
to
have
some
deep
content
about
a
particular
area,
but
you
need
to
have
broad
content
about
a
lot
of
different
topics
so
that
you
can
work
with
your
teammates
who
know
things
that
you
don't
really
know
deeply
but
rely
on
them
to
do
things.
I
You
know
the
skills
that
we're
trying
to
build
in
these
courses,
so
these
kids
individually
probably
would
have
taken
a
lot
longer
to
do
this,
mr
lovelace,
and
gets
them
to
work
together
and
help
each
other
out
and
they're
constantly
saying
wait.
Can
you
help
me
with
this
and
they
go
back
and
forth,
so
it's
really
fun
to
watch.
I
There's
always
some
new
toys
and
we're
not
always
about
flashy,
but
the
new
toys
help
a
little
bit
with
the
kid
interest
and
it
gets
a
little
more
sophisticated.
Every
year.
Right
saw
the
drones
piled
up
in
dr
taylor's
office
last
year
and
I'm
like
what
are
all
these
he's
like
we're
going
to
start
a
drone
curriculum,
so
we
have
drones
at
every
every
level.
Now,
