A
A
So
we
have
a
2.87
club
future
budget
increase
from
last
year,
2
million
seven
hundred
and
eighty
five
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars
kudos
to
our
tennis
team
on
their
second
year.
A
So
what
is
the
proposed
budget
include
all
programs
and
services
that
have
supported
our
Student
Success
over
the
years.
Anything
that's
fed,
early
or
state
mandated.
All
athletic
programs
remain.
Not
only
do
they
remain,
we've
enhanced
those
programs
we
have
at
the
high
school,
for
example.
This
year
we
just
started
with
girls,
flag
football.
We
had
a
bunch
of
our
students
who
were
interested
in
doing
a
flag
football
league.
Many
of
them
did
not
know
very
much
about
football.
A
They
pulled
together
with
a
couple
of
other
schools
in
the
county
who
do
have
a
girls
flag,
football
team
and
they
went
and
had
a
training
day
with
some
of
the
Giants
and
the
kids
came
back
and
said.
Well,
I
didn't
really
know
much
about
football
before
I
went,
there
are
some
of
them
and
they
said,
but
I
know
it
a
lot
now
and
they
are
really
robust
team
of
38
kids.
A
So
what
we
try
to
do
here
is
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
students
with
the
opportunities
that
they
want
and
opportunities,
also
that
we
as
Educators
parents
and
administrators,
think
that
they
need
all
extracurricular
programs
remain
for
the
school-sponsored
programs,
we're
increasing
those
programs
at
Wampus.
We
are
looking
to
offer
Mandarin
next
year
as
an
after-school
program,
in
addition
to
the
other
language-based
programs
that
we
have
and
math
programs
etc
for
after
school.
Also
extracurricular
programs
remain
at
the
middle
school
and
the
high
school,
where
we
have
significantly
increased
those
offerings
over
the
years.
B
B
Or
direct
communication
with
students,
your
teachers,
your
teaching,
assistants,
your
psychologist,
you're,
blaming
your
bus
drivers,
that's
the
salary,
the
benefits
equipment
supplies
for
those
individuals.
Second
biggest
category
is
capital
of
15.
That's
every
staff
member
who
maintains
our
buildings,
our
custodial
maintenance
staff.
That's
a
Debt
Service!
That's
your
utility
costs.
C
B
B
Of
roof
a
boiler
this
summer
we're
doing
the
water
main
pipe
here
at
Coleman
Hill,
so
that's
included
in
the
budget
to
do
every
year
to
maintain
our
buildings.
So
we
avoid
that
in
defer
maintenance.
We
avoid
that
and
don't
need
that
50
million
dollar
project
to
be
boiler
this
this
and
this.
So
it's
something
that
this
is
great
here:
environmentals
that
we're
able
to
maintain
our
buildings.
A
And
right
now
for
Capital,
we
are
still
paying
back
a
bond
from
27
years
ago
for
Capital
Improvements
and
we've
been
very
strategic
about
not
incurring
that
kind
of
bond
and
interest
over
time
and
when
Kelly
talks
about
little
projects
that
we're
doing
this
pipe,
that
we
have
to
replace
from
the
windmill
area
to
Coleman.
Hill
costs,
half
a
million
dollars.
So
these
are
not
small
projects.
We
put
air
conditioning
in
our
buildings.
A
I.
Everything
from
all
of
them
are
filters
that
we're
putting
generators
in
each
of
the
buildings
so
that
we
stay
functional
yesterday.
Not
a
single
person
knew
maybe
except
me
that
we
lost
power
in
two
of
our
buildings,
because
we
didn't
lose
power,
generators
and
the
kids
were
able
to
stay
on.
We
don't
have
to
send
kids
home.
C
B
Finished
and
the
third
component
is
the
administrative
portion-
that's
pretty
much
anybody
that
has
supervisor
direct
experience
or
over
students
or
staff
members.
So
that's
your
principals
APS
chair
people,
central
office.
That
also
includes
your
legal
costs,
your
auditing,
so
anything
related
to
that.
That's
11.,
so
a
breakdown
of
those
expenses
in
terms
of
categories,
any
school
district,
the
majority
of
your
expenses
are
your
salary
or
benefits,
or
your
staff.
That's
80
for
us
salary
benefits
the
next
category.
14
is
our
contractual
Services.
Basically,
anything
we
can't
do
on
house.
We
set
out.
B
Buses
is
including
in
that
in
that
maintenance
that
we
can.
In
that
section,
that's
14.
D
B
Percent
is
Debt
Service,
as
Jed
spoke
about.
We
still
have
a
bond
out
there
for
many
years
ago.
We
have
three
years
left
of
that
payment,
and
then
we
won't
have
any
more
Debt
Service
going
forward
in
the
25,
2600
2.5
supplies
and
equipment
and
then
1.7
maintenance
projects.
That's
what
I
was
speaking
about.
That's
included
in
the
budget,
where
we're
able
to
do
small,
small
projects
that
you
can
do
on
a.
A
A
And
since
we
own
our
own
transportation
services,
our
salaries
and
benefits
includes
our
drivers
and
monitors
and
our
transportation
department,
typically
in
other
schools.
If
they
don't
not,
many
schools
have
their
own
transportation.
It's
been
beneficial
for
us
to
have
it
because
we
have
buses
at
the
ready.
We
have
three
trips
going
out
today
like
this
is
not
a
conflict
for
us
at
all.
A
We
have
contractual
Services
is
typically
where
you
will
see
the
buses
all
of
the
employees
and
everything
for
bus
companies
in
other
school
districts,
but
for
us
they
fall
under
salary
and
benefits
here
and
we're
still
where
we're
supposed
to
be
as
far
as
salaries
and
benefits
are
concerned.
For
typically
now.
B
We
only
receive
five
percent
stated
from
New
York
State.
The
majority
of
our
Revenue
comes
from
our
local
taxpayers,
our
real
property
taxes
at
88
percent,
two
percent
from
Pilots.
We
currently
have
two
pilots,
ingleberman
and
IBM,
so
those
will
continue
four
percent
from
our
fund
balance
and
reserves
to
balance
the
budget
and
finally,
one
percent.
In
other
revenues
that
includes
County
sales
tax
we've
receive
a
Share
account
of
sales
tax
and
interest
earnings
that
we
receive
500,
councilor
Reserves.
A
Which
is
why
Kelly
and
I
spend
a
significant
amount
of
time
looking
at
that
88
of
real
property
taxes
right
because
that's
affecting
our
taxpayers.
Unlike
some
schools,
you'll
see
they're
getting
state
of
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
in
state
aid,
I'm
talking
Foundation
Aid
this
year
there
were
some
districts
who
had
nine
million
10
million
11
million
dollars
in
Foundation
Aid,
and
we
had
60
000.60.
So
how
do
they
get
that
and
how
come
we?
Don't?
Because.
C
A
B
C
B
Payment
a
little
taxes
system,
speaking
about
it's
about
2.3
million
dollars,
a
decrease
from
the
prior
year
of
seven
percent
other
Revenue.
Again,
that's
that
County
sales
tax
and
that
interest
earning
a
14
increase
there
based
on
our
interest,
earnings
and
our
share
of
the
County
sales
tax.
That's
been
increasing
on
a
yearly
basis.
State
aid
increase
at
14
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
reimbursement
for
our
transportation
Aid
and
we've
seen
an
increase
in
our
rate,
reimbursement
based
on
their
increased
enrollment
and
assessed
values
in
this
area.
B
A
So
tax
levy
means
the
amount
that
we're
going
out
to
taxpayers
to
ask
them
to
cover
and
that's
going
to
be
a
1.9
increase.
The
2.87
is
all
of
the
other
things
factored
in.
So
we
try
to
look
for
ways
whether
it's
fund
balance
or
whether
it's
reserves
that
we
can
use
money
if
needed,
to
fill
the
gap
of
that
budget
without
going
out
to
taxpayer
story.
B
Right,
so
that
additional
tax
levy
increases
1.6
million
dollars,
and
that
goes
out
spread
around
to
the
taxpayers
and.
C
B
The
tax
rates,
so
the
majority
of
our
property
86
percent,
is
in
the
town
of
North
Castle
to
2.61
increase,
Newcastle
and
bedford's
about
82
properties.
Together,
that's
about
one
percent
of
our
total
and.
A
B
B
Mount
Pleasant
had
a
decreases
13
of
our
properties,
a
decrease
of
3.78
for
the
first
time
in
a
very
long.
B
D
B
C
E
A
And
each
of
those
towns
contributes
to
the
tax
levy
increase,
let's
say
in
Mount
Pleasant
houses
in
Mount
Pleasant
sold
for
a
lot
higher
over
the
course
of
that
year.
The
assessed
value
of
the
homes
in
Mount
Pleasant
overall,
will
be
increased.
That
means
that
Mount
Pleasant
pays
a
larger
portion
because
they're
assessed
higher
than
the
other
towns.
So
all
of
those
assessed
values
have
nothing
to
do
with
schools.
A
B
B
B
Year,
you
can
see
kind
of
a
up
and
down
with
with
Bedford
again
and
then
again
the
same
way
in
the
north
Castle,
but
really
the
shift
this
year
is
went
from
Mount
Pleasant
to
the
town
of
broadcasting,
but
you
look
back
at
North,
Castle
West
five
years
has
been
significantly
lower
based
on
those
changes,
whereas
Mount
Pleasant
has
been
higher
so
again,
even
the
Year.
This
year
we
had
a
zero
percent
budget
increase,
but
a
one
percent
tax
level
increase.
You
can
see
larger
increases
based
on
change
of
success
again.
A
Was
the
year
I
lost
my
mind
right
because
I
said
we
have
a
zero
percent
budget
to
budget
increase
and
yet
I'm,
seeing
in
Mount
Pleasant
a
5.89
increase,
we
are
doing
a
zero,
we're
doing
a
flat
budget.
How
are
they
having
an
increase
and
and
that
assessed
value
is
the
way
that
that
happens.
So
Kelly
and
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
these
numbers,
but
we
also
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
the
numbers
of
if
you
take
an
eight
hundred
thousand
dollar
home
in
any
one
of
these
four
towns.
A
What
are
the
taxes
and
what
are
the
shifts
looking
like
from
year
to
year,
because
that
matters,
and
so
that
helps
us
get
here.
So
since
2012
we
have
remained
below
the
amount
of
dollars
that
we
could
actually
tax.
So
the
tax
levy
based
on
a
formula
is
the
amount
that
we
can
actually
go
out
and
tax
the
community.
But
we
have
been
looking
very
closely
at
our
budget
you'll
see
in
2122.
We
stayed
1.3
million
dollars
below
what
we
could
have
gone
out
to
tax
the
community
and
the
reason
we
did.
A
A
We
do
need
to
go
up
to
the
tax
cap.
For
the
first
time
it
happens
to
be
a
pretty
low
increase
if
you
compare
to
like
the
3.42
or
the
4.59
that
was
occurring
in
2018-19,
but
we
are
going
up
to
the
1.93.
We
have
increased
enrollment
in
our
Elementary
grades.
We
have
Staffing
commensurate
with
that
bus
and
commensurate
with
that.
A
So
that's
where
we
are
going
to
the
levy
for
the
first
time
this
year-
and
this
is
a
demographer's
report
about
our
increased
enrollment-
keep
in
mind
that
the
kids
at
the
end
of
this
have
not
even
been
born
yet.
But
these
are
the
projected
kids,
including
kindergarten
students,
but
it's
been
pretty
accurate
for
us
as
to
how
we've
been
growing,
there's
also
a
lot
of
construction
going
on
right
now
we
have
some
IBM
land
that
they're
in
the
process
of
going
to
the
town
to
look
for
construction
on.
A
We
have
airport
campus
over
near
the
airport
that
they
I
think
are
pretty
soon
to
be
doing.
Construction
on
and
those
are
three
bedroom
town
homes
for
the
most
part
that
are
going
to
be
tax
paying
down,
but
keeping
in
mind
that
eventually
we're
going
to
see
new
bus
routes
and
potentially
more
staff
to
us
more
staff,
more
bus
routes
means
just
more
opportunities.
That's
it
that's
what
it
is.
So
our
budget,
my
predecessor,
used
to
say
that
every
student
k-11
will
have
opportunities
affording
graduating
seniors
I.
A
A
I
would
like
to
thank
also
one
of
our
biggest
Partners.
Besides,
the
PTSA
for
the
school
district
happens
to
be
the
Byron
pounds,
Education
Foundation,
they
not
only
work
on
libraries,
they've
renovated
the
libraries
at
Coleman,
Hill,
Wampus
and
h.c
Crittenden
we're
in
conversations
about
a
future
renovation
at
the
high
school
library
as
well.
A
The
bheef
donated
that
patio,
which
is
here
at
Coleman
Hill
students,
are
out
there
with
their
teachers
all
the
time
in
a
learning
environment
as
well
as
even
just
you
know,
for
breaks
to
go
out
there
to
have
snacks
Etc,
but
creating
that
Outdoor
Learning
space
is,
is
one
silver
lining
of
covid
that
we
learned
that
we
want
to
get
our
kids
out
as
much
as
possible.
The
Education
Foundation
on
the
right
you'll
see
that's
one
of
our
parents.
A
He
is
a
mentor
working
with
our
students,
that
is
our
startup
program
at
the
high
school,
which
is
a
two-year
entrepreneurship
program
and
he
is
working
with
them
and
that
was
that
was
funded
initially
by
the
bheef
as
well.
We
have
our
Global
Scholars
Program
at
the
high
school.
A
three-year
program
also
was
initially
funded
by
the
bagf,
so
while
they
do
a
lot
to
shape
the
physical
footprint
of
our
community
they're
also
doing
a
lot
to
help
us
promote
new
programs.
So
thank.
A
Whether
you
approve
or
do
not
approve
of
the
budget,
I
encourage
you
to
please
go
out
and
vote
because
we
have
11
000
some
odd
voters
eligible
voters,
and
in
a
year
like
this,
where
we
don't
have
contested
Board
election
seats,
we
might
get
four
or
five
hundred
people
who
come
out
to
vote.
So
it
is
important
that
people
come
out
and
and
state
their
pleasure
right.
We
have
election
of
two
board
members.
They
are
both
incumbents
Lara
stangle
is
the
current
president
of
the
Board
of
Education.
She
is
running
again
and
Lori.
A
Tanner
is
the
current
vice
president
she's
running
again
as
well,
and
there
are
no
contestant
foreign
and
you
should
be
receiving
this
I
love
this.
That
picture
is
like
kills
me
every
time.
This
is
our
budget
summary.
The
School
District
budget
notice
on
the
bottom
right
hand,
side
is
what
is
required
of
every
single
School
District.
So
when
I
go
home
in
my
own
School
District
I
receive
something
like
this
too,
except
not
in
color
I,
don't
think
it's
As
Nice!
A
Obviously,
that's
the
School
District
budget
notice
and
it
will
tell
you
the
voting
information
and
questions
and
answers
about
your
taxes
and,
of
course,
anyone
at
any
time
can
contact
Kelly,
Seibert
or
myself.
A
If
you
want
to
talk
about
that,
I
did
have
someone
who,
who
called
one
year-
and
he
said
about
my
taxes-
have
gone
up
and
you
know
they
actually
transferred
ownership
from
his
parent,
who
happened
to
have
been
a
veteran
to
him,
and
so
there
was
a
shift
in
the
taxes,
but
it
actually
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
school
taxes
and
that
just
came
out
of
a
conversation
where
he
said
you
know
my
taxes.
How
come
the
school
taxes
went
up
and
I
said.
If
you
want.
A
D
Okay,
so
a
couple
of
quick
things
for
all
parents
and
thank
you
for
coming
here
today:
May
5th
Friday,
it's
the
last
date
for
placement
information.
If
you
have
any
information
that
you
want
to
share
with
the
principal
me
for
placement
for
next
year,
please
get
that
into
me
by
Friday
May
5th.
Our
placement
process
takes
us
about
six
months,
and
if
we
don't
have
your
input,
we
can't
get
it
on
the
back
end,
so
pay
attention
to
that
deadline,
May,
18th
and
May
19th.
D
D
So
we
can
get
you
in
and
settled
for
what
is
about
to
be
a
great
day
for
our
children,
bringing
back
the
full
performances
in
these
live
events
that
our
children
haven't
fully
experienced
yet
May
30th
kindness
day,
every
child
in
the
community
will
either
be
wearing
a
kindness
shirt
or
their
Byram
Hills
collars
or
a
Byram
Health
t-shirt,
but
we
will
be
having
a
wonderful
series
of
events
outside
to
bring
the
whole
Community
together.
It's
a
really
nice
day
for
our
children.
We
promote
kindness
every
day.
D
This
stays
really
about
having
fun
and
bringing
all
of
our
children
together
in
June
and
trust
me,
these
next
few
weeks
go
really
fast.
So
in
June
we
have
our
end
of
your
picnics
that
you,
you
will
be
getting
information
from
your
classroom
teachers
it's
a
great
afternoon
or
morning
for
our
children
and
moms,
and
dads
to
come
and
partake
in
the
end
of
your
picnics
Flag
Day
performances,
our
kindergarteners
will
be
performing
June,
13th
June
14th
for
parents
and
grandparents,
and
then
they
will
be
performing
on
June
15th
for
their
older
classmates.
D
Our
first
graders
and
our
second
graders
outside
our
kindergartners,
put
on
up
their
Flag
Day
performance
for
the
older
children
and
then
most
exciting
I,
think
to
parents
and
to
our
children
is
our
move
up
day
at
Coleman
hell.
We
want
our
children
to
leave
for
summer
with
a
strong
sense
of
feeling,
calm,
safe
and
happy,
so
we
get
them
to
meet
all
of
their
new
classmates
and
their
new
teacher
in
a
half
hour
segment
on
the
last
second
to
last
day
of
school.
D
This
includes
our
second
graders,
who
get
to
go
up
to
Wampus
and
see
Wampus
and
meet
their
new
classmates
and
their
new
teacher.
It's
orchestrated
very
thoughtfully
and
carefully
for
our
children
and
for
moms
and
dads.
We
consider
everything
from
children
who
are
moving
out
of
District
to
Children
moving
into
the
district.
We
are
hiring
new
teachers.
D
We
try
to
bring
them
in
as
long
as
they
can
free
themselves
up
of
their
responsibilities,
but
it's
a
big
event
and
we
really
appreciate
your
partnership
in
the
placement
process
and
the
respect
of
the
placement
process
that
goes
into
this,
for
our
children,
creating
a
wonderful
future
for
them
for
next
year.
So
on
that
note,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
your
support.
Thank
you
guys
for
coming
and
really
I
continue
to.
Thank
you
for
your
input
that
you
share
with
us
to
make
Coleman
hell
just
an
exceptional
learning
place
for
our
children.
D
E
Very
happy
to
hear
that
you're
implementing
a
mandarin
program
is
that
through
BOCES,
yes,
okay,
yeah,
because
I'd
spoken
with
the
director
of
world
languages-
and
she
told
me
that
that
she
had
tried
to
start
one
before
covenants
now
buddy.
So
that's
going
to
be
at
Wampus!
Then
correct,
okay,
starting
in
third
grade
or.
A
It
should
be
for
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
third
grade
or
just
fourth
and
fifth
but
I,
think
it
might
be
third
grade.
Okay
and.
E
Yes,
sir,
would
would
the
possibility
come
in,
would
then
shift
to.
A
E
Starting
earlier
is
better
starting,
younger
and
special
sure
moving
your
way
up
and
then
with
the
idea
be
to
do
other
languages,
because
I
know
you
had
said
something
to
add
to
our
language
program.
Does
that?
Is
there
something
else
at
Wampus
language
related
that
I?
Don't.
A
Know
about
so
they
they
have
a
Nancy
sarrow
who's,
a
who's.
A
languages
teacher
at
the
middle
school
does
the
after
school
program
at
Wampus,
for
the
kids,
where
she
she
talks
about
culture
and
language,
so
she
teaches
French.
She
knows
French,
Spanish
and
Italian
in
addition
to
Greek
and
English
and
a
couple
of
other
languages.
So
she
does
a
it's
called
the
welp
program
and
that's
after
school
at
Wampus.
A
Eye
that
starts
wealth
starts
fourth
and
fifth,
okay,
but
I
do
think
the
Mandarin
might
be
going
to
third
I'm,
not
sure
I'll
have
to
check
on
that.
For
you,
okay,.
E
Just
wondering
what
language
opportunities
there
are:
okay
and
then
future
the
possibility
of
Spanish.
A
We
do
it
one
step
at
a
time
right,
so
the
first
step
is
going
to
be
Mandarin
and
to
see
if
this
is
successful.
If
we
start
something
in
a
language
that
we're
already
teaching,
we
don't
teach
Mandarin.
So
at
some
point
and
I've
seen
other
districts
do
this
before,
where
they
start
students
in
a
program
at
a
younger
level
outside
of
school,
then
that
becomes
an
inside
of
school
program
and
these
kids
well.
E
A
The
only
way
they
if
we
would
get
to
the
point
that
it's
that
we're
not
going
to
continue
with
it
is,
if
we
don't
have
kids
in
it
and
they're
not
succeeding
in
it
right.
But
the
path
should
be
that
if
the
kids
are
doing
this
after
school
and
it's
successful
that
there
is
a
pathway
for
them
to
start
in
school.
A
For
that
as
well,
right,
okay
and
then,
as
far
as
the
other
languages
are
concerned,
we
teach
those
languages
from
sixth
grade
is
an
exploratory
language
where
you're
learning
all
of
the
languages
in
an
exploratory
cycle,
so
that
you
can
select
a
language
you
want
for
seventh
grade
through
12th
grade
and
then
by
the
time
you
get
to
high
school,
you
can
do
multiple
languages.
If
you
wanted
to.
A
We
have
students
who
do
more
than
one
language
in
the
high
school,
but
for
that
we
would
have
to
at
some
other
juncture,
decide
if
we
are
going
to
take
the
languages
to
a
lower
level.
Starting
them
in
fifth
grade
is
difficult
just
because
of
the
curriculum
that
we
have
K5
and
in
inserting
like
we
are
trying
to
get
preserve.
Our
90
minute
blocks
of
ela
and
our
90
minute
blocks
of
map,
there's
a
lot
that
happens
in
a
K5
Elementary
class
to
have
each
of
those
kids
they'd
have
to
all
take
the
same
language.
A
I
mean
that's
like
part
of
the
problem.
We
don't
have
the
Staffing
like
we
would
at
the
middle
school
or
the
high
school.
So
that's
that's
a
conversation
for
another
day,
because
that
would
involve
us
and
we've
looked
at
it
numerous
times.
Lowering
the
age
that
we're
starting
that
program
we're
running
into
curriculum
issues,
so.
E
A
It
isn't
easier
for
us
because
of
Staffing.
We
already
have
shared
Staffing
between
buildings
for
the
languages
that
we
have,
so
it's
a
more
complicated
thing
than
just
starting
it
a
year
earlier,
we've
looked
at
it
numerous
times,
I
think
for
now
we're
keeping
that
in
place
and
we're
going
to
try
with
the
Mandarin
one
thing
at
a
time
and
see
how
we
do
with
that.
E
Okay,
yeah
all
right,
I've
said
one
other
question.
I
know
you
had
said
that
the
school
district
is
increasing
in
size
and
that
you
were
going
to
look
into
you
know
extra
Staffing
and
busing,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
What
about
the
physical
building,
because
I'm
noticing,
from
my
experience
that
sometimes
I
I'm,
told
well
the
build
there's
so
many
kids
and
the
building
is
small
and
as
it
increases
is
this
going
to
become
more
and
more
of
a
problem?
It.
A
Shouldn't
be
we
at
our
highest
we're
about
600
students
more
than
we
are
right
now
at
our
highest
enrollment,
so
we're
looking
at
our
buildings
and
they're
fine,
but
they're
occupied
right,
so
Coleman
Hill
is
an
interesting
building
other
than
the
gym.
We
don't
have
any
big
space
right.
So
that's
like
a
consideration
at
a
place
like
home
and
Hill
when
you
get
to
Wampus,
their
cafeteria
could
also
serve
as
like
a
gathering
place
right.
So
that's
where
kids
are
getting
together
and
meeting
by
the
time
you
get
to
the
middle
school.
A
E
A
A
We've
we've
programmed
something
through
educer,
which
is
a
company
that
does
like
a
one-to-one
virtual
language
development,
so
we've
tested
that
Melissa
Stahl
has
has
worked
on
that
she
had
a
student
who
successfully
did
that
in
Latin
because
we
don't
want
to
you
know
we
sometimes
have
students
who
come
here
with
languages
other
than
what
we're
teaching
yeah
yeah.
C
A
I
would
say,
though,
that
while
I
I
was
in
Brazil
during
a
time
when
my
kids
were
in
elementary
school
and
it
was
an
IB
School,
so
I
know
a
lot
about
the
international
Baccalaureate
program.
I
know
a
lot
of
districts
around
us
who
are
doing
it
Harrison
they
have
it
Mamaroneck
has
it
not
everyone
has
it,
but
not.
Everyone
also
has
the
robust
science
research
program
that
we
have
the
global,
Scholars
Program
and
the
startup
program.
So
I
think
you
have
to
choose
what
you
want
to
do.
A
It's
like
you
can't
have
enough
Staffing
to
have
the
complete
Buffet
of
life
for
these
kids
and
I.
Don't
think
that
they
get
sold
short
on
the
programs
that
we
put
in
place
at
that
IB
program.
We
also
have
so
many
kids
who
are
involved
in
AP
classes,
I'm,
not
even
sure
that
those
kids
would
be
drawn
toward
an
ID
program.
That's
run
separately.
The
other
schools
that
have
it
too
have
done,
if
not
triple
the
amount
of
kids
that
we
have
in
our
school.
E
A
So
the
IB
program
is
a
program
that
involves
every
single
class
that
the
kids
are
doing,
I'm,
not
sure,
if
you're
familiar
with
it,
but
there
are
all
of
these
pillars
that
the
kids
try
to
meet
in
all
of
these
segmented
courses
that
feed
into
the
IB
program,
that's
very
different
than
Global
Scholars,
although
they
definitely
do
the
sustainability
goals,
they
definitely
do
the
Asia
Society
framework
I
mean
they're
they're,
doing
a
lot
of
things
that
might
seem
ib-ish,
but
they
are
it's
not
every
kid's
class
like
so
the
kid
who's
taking
Global
Scholars
will
also
be
going
to
AP
calc
right,
and
this
is
not
necessarily
A
an
IB
program
right.
A
E
A
E
A
E
I
I'm
familiar
with
the
IB
program,
I
actually
taught
IB
Spanish
for
a
couple
of
years.
