A
Welcome
to
the
Wampus
principal's
coffee
I'm,
just
going
to
give
a
couple
kind
of
reminders
that
parents
will
also
do
reminders
about
this
evening
at
3,
30
and
preparation
for
the
state
exams
and
then
we're
going
to
have
Mr
Pete
Pollocks
talk
a
little
bit
about
instrumentation
at
Wampus
and
then
Dr,
lamia
and
Mr
Siebert
are
going
to
talk
about
the
2023-2024
budget,
which
is
we're
in
the
middle
of
budget
season.
So
that's
the
plan
for
today.
A
As
far
as
the
state
test
tomorrow
and
Thursday
are
the
ELA
exams
and
then
May,
2nd
and
May
3rd
are
the
mathematic
exams,
as
we
reminded
the
students
this
morning,
they're
very
well
prepared
for
these
exams
and
and
they
will
do
well
and
I-
think
Dr,
Lami
and
I
were
speaking
earlier
today.
Sometimes
kids,
especially
if
this
is
their
first
time
they
ever
took
a
state
test.
A
A
A
school
in
the
district
about
how
we
truck
that's
really
the
goal
of
these
these
tests.
So
anytime,
they
ask
you
those
questions,
I
think
just
a
very
simple
Baseline
response
like
that,
hopefully
we'll
get
them
get
them
there
remind
them
to
get
to
bed.
You
know,
obviously
have
a
good
time
have
a
good
breakfast
get
here
on
time
and
they'll
just
do
just
fine.
Whatever
has
any
questions
about
State
tests.
Obviously
you
can
reach
out
to
Miss
Palmer
or
myself,
but
other
than
that
we.
A
A
D
Good
morning,
good
morning,
I'm
Peter,
the
director
of
Fine
Arts
at
Byron,
Hills
and
I'd,
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
instrumental
music
program,
which
is
grades
three
four
and
five,
where
we're
at
right
now
and
next
steps
and
what
it
might
look
like
for
ensembles
for
next
year.
D
So
we'll
start
with
the
current
third
grade
in
terms
of
what
we're
at
where
we're
at
and
next
steps
for
third
graders.
So
this
year,
those
students
in
third
grade
learned
about
the
instrument:
families
in
their
General
music
classes.
They
selected
three
instruments
that
they
were
really
interested
in
trying.
We
did
hands-on
experience
with
them
where
they
were
able
to
actually
try
out
the
instruments.
D
We
had
an
entire
team
of
Faculty
members
that
sort
of
sat
and
listened
to
them
sort
of
assessed
where
they
were
at
trying
to
anticipate
the
child's
success
and
set
them
up
for
Success
moving
forward.
So
we've
gone
through
lots
of
steps
to
really
pair
each
child
with
the
right
instrument.
The
stack
we're
at
right
now
is
that
the
letters
have
been
sent
to
families
with
the
recommendations
for
instruments
for
next
year.
D
So
right
now
it's
really
just
the
waiting
game,
so
we're
looking
at
the
summer
time
where
students
are
going
to
be
recognition
with
their
families
in
preparation
for
September.
So
the
information
I'll
share
with
you
on
the
next
slide
is
the
packet
there's
a
QR
code
that
you
can
sort
of
use,
but
this
packet
is
actually.
C
D
And
in
that
packet
there
is
a
listing
of
all
the
instrument,
rental
companies,
that
our
families
have
used
over
the
years
and
found
great
success
with,
and-
and
so
we
just
ask
that
they
secure
an
instrument
ready
for
September.
So
that's
the
deal
with
the
third
grade
into
fourth
grade.
D
They
do
what
they
can
expect
in
fourth
grade
they'll
have
one
lesson
per
week
with
a
staff
member
and
they
were
basically
pulled
out
of
that
ln4
period
and
and
that's
our
piece
there's
not
necessarily
an
ensemble
in
fourth
grade
yet
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they
sort
of
pair
them
together,
but
really
it's
about
the
foundation
of
skills
on
each
individual
instrument.
D
D
So
we'll
go
on
to
fourth
grade
right
now,
our
current
fourth
graders,
so
many
of
them
playing
all
year
long.
Nearly
every
student
in
fourth
grade
plays
an
instrument
and
band
Orchestra
and
and
so
in
preparation
for
next
year.
There
are
forms
that
have
gone
out
in
the
general
music
classroom.
Two
parents
and
those
forms
need
to
be
returned
by
Monday
that
are
by
Friday
the
28th
of
April
and
and
it's
basically
offering
options
to
say
in
fifth
grade.
What
are
they
going
to
do?
Are
they.
D
Continue
on
their
instrument,
are
they
going
to
continue
on
a
different
instrument?
Are
they
going
to
also
join
the
course,
and
so
this
form
will
be
sent
home
and
it's
been
sent
home
as
this
week
and
early
next
week
and
then
we'll
ask
that
it's
returned
by
the
end
of
April.
D
May
8th
is
the
date
that
they
will
run
auditions
because
there
are
some
students
that
are
thinking
in
fourth
grade
they're
like
I,
really
want
to
try
the
saxophone,
and
so
what
we
do
is
we
oftentimes
begin
them
on
clarinet
and
then
in
fifth
grade
we'll
transition
them
to
the
saxophone,
because
the
fingerings
are
the
same
and.
B
D
D
See
so
what
does
participation
look
like
in
fifth
grade?
What's
different
in
fifth
grade
is
that
they
will
now
rehearse
as
an
ensemble
twice
per
week.
They
will
still
get
their
lessons,
so
let's
say
I'm
playing
Trump
in
fourth
grade.
I
have
my
lesson
one
time
per
week,
all
year,
long
in
fifth
grade
I
might
play
the
Trump
and
now
I
get
my
lesson
one
time
per
week
and
I
also
have
two
days
of
band
during
the
week.
D
D
The
course
in
fifth
grade
but
you'll
notice
that
there's
an
expanded
instrumentation
and
it's
important
to
note
the
schedule-
change
cut
off
date.
This
is
important
for
all
grades.
Three
four
and
five
is
actually
September
22nd.
So
it's
the
type
of
thing
where,
if
you.
D
D
So
next
steps
for
fifth
grade
students,
so
this
is
a
big
step,
so
we're
looking
at
fifth
grade
students
currently
they're
moving
into
a
new
building
next
year
and
they're
thinking
what
is
happening
with
my
Ensemble.
So
our
hope
and
our
expectation
is
that
they
will
continue
in
that
enstable.
So
if
they're
in
the
band
or
if
they're
in
the
orchestra
that
they
would
continue
in
that
Ensemble
again.
D
Going
home
with
students
this
week
and
next
that'll
be
returned
by
the
28th
and
they're,
going
to
give
three
options
so
option
A,
B
or
C,
and
it
really
just
says
I'm
going
to
continue
on
my
instrument.
D
A
nice
piece
that
we
rolled
out
last
year
was
that
students
can
indeed
participate
in
both
band
and
course
or
orchestra
and
chorus.
We
do
that
in
fifth
grade.
We
also
do
that
at
the
middle
school.
So
that's
an
exciting
piece,
and
this
this
form
really
just
shows
the
students
exactly
what
their
choices
are.
So
this
way
we
can
anticipate
enrollment
and
schedules
for
the
middle
school.
D
So
in
terms
of
our
what
does
participation
look
like
in
sixth
grade
in
sixth
grade
students
still
get
General
music
for
one
full
marking
period
the
same
with
it.
They
receive
General
music
here
in
fifth
grade,
but
then
they'll
also
have
their
Ensemble.
The
ensembles
need
a
little
bit
more
often
than
they
do
here
at
Wampus.
We
don't
do
individualized
lessons,
but
we
do
is
we
have
Team
teaching
that's
happening
and.
D
A
small
group
to
instruct
them
during
that
period,
so
they
might
need
Monday,
Tuesday,
Wednesday,
Thursday
Friday
for
45
minutes
and
that
class
might
be
broken
up
differently.
But
that's
how
that
Ensemble
piece
works
and
that's
how
we
address
small
group
instruction
again
expand
of
instrumentation,
so
we're
filling
out
to
give
a
really
authentic
experience.
You've
got
a
lot
more
performance,
opportunities
and
and
I.
Think
that's
the
piece
I
think:
that's
it
for
instrumental
music.
D
A
And
I
had
one
thing:
we
often
sorry
the
we
often
get
questions
about
both
of
us
about
what
does
that
look
like
for
a
student's
schedule
at
Wampus
during
Encore,
so
I
think
we
say
this
at
the
back
to
school
nights
and
orientations,
but
I
think
it's
a
good
reminder.
So,
if
a
child,
let's
say
a
fifth
grader
they're
in
Orchestra,
okay,
so
they
play
the
violin,
they
would
have
been
violin
lesson
once
a
week.
A
They
would
go
to
Orchestra
twice
a
week
right,
so
three
of
their
encores,
they
would
be
going
to
music
instead
of
Encore.
That
is
okay.
The
way
the
Encore
program
is
designed.
It's
designed,
so
kids
can
be
pulled
out.
All
right
next
question
sometimes
is
okay
weapons
if
they
violin
and
they
want
to
do
chorus.
One
day
a
week,
they're
going
to
violin
lesson
two
days
a
week,
they're
in
Orchestra
Ensemble
they
have
choir
and
then
one
day
a
week
they
go
to
Encore.
A
Again,
that's
completely
fine,
any
students
that
may
have
some
Services,
it's
also
fun.
Let's
say
a
child
has
to
go
to
a
speech
one
their
Encore
could
be
all
music
and
speech
and
they
don't
go
to
Encore.
That's
fine,
I
think
one
other
thing:
that's
very
developmentally
appropriate
in
fifth
grade
that
Pete
really
helped
design
is
kids
during
that
time
period.
Much
like
in
sixth
grade
in
the
wheel,
The
Encore
is
designed,
so
they
can
be
pulled
out.
They
can
go
to
Encore
if
they
need
to.
A
A
C
D
D
Pills:
listen,
we
teach
music
because
it
teaches
kids
and
the
critical
thinking
that
happens
in
the
classrooms.
Why
we
do
that?
It's
never
with
the
lens
of
let's
turn
our
child
into
a
professional
musician.
That
could
happen
and
we'll
support
that.
However,
it
really
is
about
thinking
critically
and
problem
solving.
D
So
that
being
said,
the
state
requires
that
we
have
comprehensive,
sequential
music
instruction
up
through
and
including
eighth
grade
in
seventh
grade,
it
sort
of
switches
a
little
bit,
but
there
has
to
continue
to
be
a
spiraling
path,
so
the
options
are
still
plentiful
as
we
get
through
the
high
school.
D
But
this
is
why
we
have
still
General
music
in
the
sixth
grade
in
seventh
grade
and
eighth
grade,
the
state
requirements
a
little
bit
different,
but
we
at
Byron
Hill
still
offer
ensembles
and
Seventh-Day
degree
so,
which
is
why,
in
grades
678,
we
require
students
to
be
an
ensemble
either
band
Orchestra
course.
So
the
child
is
not
in
they're,
not
playing
an
instrument,
they
said
listen.
This
is
not
for
me.
They
will
be
required
to
be
in
at
least
chorus
in
grade
six
and
grade
seven.
D
Then
eight
grade
eight,
we
actually
offer
another
little
option
which
is
sort
of
like
a
music
technology
path,
so
it's
less
performance
oriented,
but
it
still
gives
them
the
hands-on
experience.
The
Hands-On
I'll
just
end
with
hands-on
experience
is
important
because
we
don't
teach
music
as
we
teach
music
as
a
core
discipline,
so
the
same
way
that
we
don't
teach
math
appreciation.
We
don't
just
teach
music
appreciation
right.
D
D
F
You
Dr
lamio
thank
you
and
I'm
Jen
lamia
nice
to
meet
you,
and
this
is
Kelly
Seibert
and
he
is
our
business
official
assistant
superintendent
for
business
and
today
we're
here
to
talk
to
you
briefly
about
the
budget.
We
have
had
budget
hearings
so
far
where
we
have
explained
the
budget
in
a
public
session
in
a
board
hearing,
and
then
we
will
have
the
board,
hopefully
the
adoption
of
the
budget
which
will
occur
tonight
and
once
the
board
adopts
the
budget,
then
it
goes
out
to
the
public
to
vote
on.
F
F
What
does
the
budget
include?
Well,
all
the
programs
and
services
that
have
supported
our
students,
we
are
have
are
engaging
in
a
literacy
study
right
now,
which
is
very
intense.
At
the
elementary
level
K5
we've
had
parent
participation,
administrators
and
teachers
participating
in
that
we
are
funding
programs,
starting
from
that
all.
C
F
Way
up
to
the
high
school,
where,
if
you're
familiar
with
the
high
school,
we
have
some
some
very
Niche
programs
between
our
science
research
program,
where
we
have
somebody
who
was
eighth
in
the
nation
in
the
regeneron
science
research
program,
pretty
amazing
our
kids
receive
accolades
over
accolades.
For
that
program.
F
We
have
Global
Scholars
at
the
high
school,
which
is
a
three-year
program
similar
to
science.
Research,
in
that
you
pick
a
topic,
and
then
you
invest
in
that
topic
for
three
years,
but
it's
about
global
issues,
sort
of
like
they
say
the
other
side
of
the
moon
to
science,
research
and
then
we
have
something
thanks
to
the
Byron
Hills
Education
Foundation,
another
new
program
and
by
the
way
they
funded
Global
Scholars.
As
a
start,
a
new
program
called
startup,
which
is
an
entrepreneurship
program
which
is
a
two-year
program,
so.
C
F
That
all
of
our
Student
Success
can
be
supported.
That
way,
every
time
we
turn
around
and
we
see
an
interest
like
startup,
we
we
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
this,
but
Byram
Hill
is
a
former
alumni.
Is
the
inventor
of
the
what
is
it
called
the
fidget
fidget
Spinners
I.
Also
remember,
I,
don't
know
30
something
years
ago.
A
kid
coming
up
to
me
and
making
those
duct
tape
wallets
right,
like
I,
mean
kids
are
always
interested
in
that
kind
of
work,
and
that
really
takes
us
there.
F
So
all
of
our
athletic
programs
also
remain.
We
are
very
robust
in
athletics,
30,
some
odd
years
ago,
when
I
started,
we
were
laughable
in
athletics,
and
now
we
have
state
championships
or
girls,
tennis
at
the
high
school
and
the
state
championship.
Second
year
in
a
row,
we
have
two
other
state
championships
and
a
big
sign
in
town
like
football
flag
football.
B
G
G
F
G
Service
or
how
much
staff.
F
F
Is
in
that
Capital,
but
we
invest
money
in
capital,
so
think
about.
We've,
put
air
conditioning
in
all
of
our
buildings
in
the
last
handful
of
years.
Generators
generators
in
each
of
our
buildings,
so
we're
not
closing
schools
down
any
roof
repair
boilers.
All
of
that
the
half
a
million
dollar
pipe
that
we
need
to
replace
at
Coleman
Hill.
F
That
goes
from
windmill
over
to
Coleman
Hill,
the
water
pipe
under
the
road,
because
it's
due
for
a
replacement
all
these
things
that
we
have
to
do
we're
in
capital
and
because
we
put
the
money
toward
Capital
we're
not
going
out
for
more
bonds
because
think
about
the
fact
that
right
now
we're
still
paying
a
bond
from
when
I
first
started
like
30
like
almost
30
years
ago.
I
think
that
Bond
was
about
right
29
years
ago.
F
G
That
we
maintain
our
Billings
on
a
yearly
basis,
so
we
don't
have
to
wait
and
wait
and
wait
and
do
a
20
million
dollar
project
at
one
time.
It's
really
a
great
way
to
do
it.
Okay,
in
terms
of
actual
expenses,
this
is
kind
of
a
breakdown
of
where
we
are
any
school
district.
The
majority
of
your
expenses
is
really
your
Staffing,
so
salary
and
benefits
it's
almost
80
percent.
It's
pretty
consistent
with
any
District
in
this
area,
it's
between
75
and
80
percent.
So.
G
And
benefits
of
our
employees
or
a
second
category
is
14
contractual
Services,
anything
that
we
can't
do
in-house
and
we
need
to
get
a
consultant
or
get
a
a
maintenance
company
to
come
in.
That's
the
contractual
that's
14,
Debt
Service
as
Jen
spoke
about
that's
2.6
supplies
and
equipment,
only
2.5,
and
then
that's
the
maintenance
projects
at
1.7.
Again,
that's
what
we
put
in
the
budget
to
maintain
our
buildings.
F
And
if
you
look
at
salaries
and
benefits,
consider
this
we've
also
done
something
that
a
lot
of
people
haven't
done
for
decades.
We
have
our
own
Carpenter,
our
own
electrician
right,
so
that
is
actually
in
the
salaries
and
we're
not
Contracting
out
for
much
more
money
to
get
those
jobs
done
as
well
as
Transportation
Transportation
too
yeah.
G
Well:
here's
a
breakdown
of
the
revenue.
Unfortunately,
in
this
area
Westchester
we
don't
receive
a
lot
of
state
aid.
It's
only
five
percent
for
Byron
Mills,
so
88
of
our
Revenue
comes
from
a
little
taxpayer.
G
Two
percent
from
Pilots
quickly
with
Pilots,
are,
as
a
company
fills
their
assessed
value.
How
much
they
pay
in
taxes
is
too
much.
They'll
talk
to
the
county
and
the
talent
to
make
a
reduction,
make
an
agreement
say
I'm
going
to
pay
this
amount
of
taxes
over
a
five
six
seven
year
period.
So
we.
G
G
And
then
the
rest
of
the
one
percent
is
from
other
Revenue:
that's
our
County
sales
tax.
We
get
a
share
of
the
County
sales
tax,
as
well
as
interest
earnings
receive
on
our
reserves
and
then
finally,
fun
fund
balance
appropriation.
So
that's.
F
B
G
D
F
G
We
had
a
decrease
in
the
pilots,
as
I
spoke
about
with
Engelbert
and
IBM
a
decrease
of
172
000,
based
on
an
estimated
pilot
agreement
with
IBM
coming
on
for.
G
Other
revenues
that
was
that
that
one
percent
amount
in
the
previous
slide.
That's
up.
14
we've
had
a
tremendous
increase
in
interest
earnings
into
next
year
and
this
year,
so
I've
increased
that
and
now
stay
day
to
14
increase
about
six
hundred
thousand
and
then
finally
fund
balance.
In
order
to
balance
the
budget,
we
need
to
kick
in
some
fund
balance
and
reserves
and
that's
an
increase
of
539
000..
G
G
Yes,
I
do
get
that
question
mark
yeah,
yeah,
your
mailing
address
could
say
Bedford,
but
majority
of
them
are
in
the
town
of
Newcastle.
There's
there's
about
4142
properties
and
Newcastle
is
about
44.,
so
in
terms
of
tax
rate.
So
this
is
yours.
This
is
Pearl.
That's
a
thousand
dollars
of
assessed
value;
okay,
it's
an
increase
of
2.6
for
the
town
of
North,
Castle,
Newcastle,
2.82,
Bedford
and
8.3,
and
then
a
decrease
of
3.7
for
Mount
Pleasant.
G
G
You
to
take
a
look
at
the
presentation
from
March
28th
about
assessed
about
something
that
the
district
doesn't
control
the
town,
assessors
control
on
a
yearly
basis
that
change
in
assessed
value
changes
the
share
of
your
tax
link,
so
the
total
tax
dollars
that
we
propose
the
share
of
that
taxes
gets
spread
out,
depending
on
changes
and
adjustments
to
assess
value
on
a
yearly
basis.
B
C
F
Right
so
in
layman's
terms,
let's
say
that
houses
in
Pleasantville
sell
for
a
lot
of
money
in
that
particular
year
the
next
year
the
assessed
value
of
a
home
in
Pleasantville
is
higher
because
the
houses
sold
for
hire
now
that's
great
if
you're
selling
your
home,
but
as
far
as
taxes
are
concerned,
your
assessed
value
goes
up
now,
let's
say
at
the
same
time.
Bedford
sells
only
and
they
only
have
a
minimum
number
of
homes
there
anyway,
but
that
their
homes
sell
for
much
lower
their
assessed
value
drops.
F
Those
values
have
nothing
to
do
with
us,
but
they
do
take
into
consideration.
What
piece
of
the
pie
you
pay
right.
So,
if
you're
assessed
higher,
then
your
taxes
increase
and
if
you
are
assessed
lower
your
taxes
likely
decrease.
Now
all
of
that
said,
I
think
about
Pleasantville
Mount
Pleasant,
because
we
had
they
had
such
high
assessments
for
so
many
years
in
a
row
that,
even
when
we
had
a
zero
percent
budget
to
budget
increase,
the
taxes
went
up.
C
F
Like
we
can't
do
anything
more
than
a
zero
percent
budget
to
budget
increase
and
how
are
their
school
taxes
still
going
up
and
I
did
at
that
point,
compare
the
amount
that
somebody
pays
on
an
800
000
home
in
taxes.
If
your
children
went
to
Pleasantville
versus
your
children
going
to
Byron
Mills
and
the
taxes
were
less
for
somebody
living
in
Pleasantville
going
to
barnhills,
even
though
they
were
still
increasing
like
I
I
was
just
trying
to
get
a
sense
of.
How
do
you
control
that?
F
And
there
is
no
control
for
it,
except
for
the
fact
that
this
year,
Mount
Pleasant
you'll
see
has
a
minus
4.39
for
like
the
first
time,
I
mean
if
you
take
a
look
at
where
is
Mount.
Pleasant
has
always
had
an
increase
by
0.89,
and
this
is
even
when
we've
had
zero
percent
budget
to
budget
increases.
You'll
even
see.
Where
was
the
one
that
went
up
12
by
the
time,
or
is
that
here.
F
B
F
That
I
know
what
I
know
right
so
anyway,
my
town
has
to
do
with
the
budget
all
right,
so
we
have
always
tried
to
stay
below
the
tax
levy
limit
right.
So
you
look
at
the
First
Column.
The
maximum
allowable
tax
levy
limit
so
2012
pretty
much
when
I
started,
and
it
is
when
I
started
in
the
district
office
right
until
now,
at
1.93
you'll
see
what
all
of
the
maximum
allowable
tax
levies
have
been
and
you'll
see
that
every
year
other
than
this
year
we've
remained
below
the
tax
levy
limit
this
year.
F
1.93
percent
is
not
the
2018-19
4.59
right,
you're,
not
talking
about
a
major
increase,
but
we
do
particularly
because
of
enrollment
growth
have
to
go
to
the
tax
levy
limit,
but
you
could
see
that
this
is
a
responsible
decision.
If
you
look
at
the
right
hand,
column,
you
will
see
that
each
of
those
years
that's
the
amount
of
money
that
we
did
not
go
up
to
the
tax
levy
limit,
because
we
didn't
need
to
right.
F
You
won't
find
that
in
a
lot
of
schools,
you'll
find
most
superintendents
say
you
should
always
go
to
the
tax
level
because
you'll
never
recoup
that
money
back.
In
my
mind
it
was
fiscally
responsible
and
Kelly
to
do
this,
and
if
we
ever
need
to
go
over
the
tax
cap
because
of
enrollment
or
anything,
we
will
do
that.
F
F
You
know
keep
in
mind
that
they
project
this
out
to
27-28,
and
these
kids
are
like
not
even
born
yet
right.
So
it's
it's
hard
to
to
judge
this,
but
we
do
have
a
demographer
who
does
a
pretty
good
job
of
this
and
you'll,
see
for
23
24
we're
expecting
2,
349
kids,
so
about
48,
more
children,
and
that
is
just
based
on
the
buying
and
selling
of
homes
right
and
births.
So
we
also
know
we
have
some
construction,
that's
happening
at
airport
campus.
They
are
due
to
begin
construction.
F
There
they're
about
125
town
homes
that
are
going
in
there
they're,
not
age,
restricted,
there's,
also
an
age-restricted
section
of
that.
So
that
is
going
to
bring
more
students.
We
also
have
Eagle
Ridge,
which
is
an
IBM
property.
That's
in
the
process
of
being
decided
about
homes
there
as
well,
but
I,
don't
think
I.
Don't
anticipate
and
I've
been
really
on
top
of
this
I.
Don't
anticipate
that
these
numbers
are
going
to
flood
our
schools
that
we
are
going
to
get
to
the
point
that
we
have
to
do
construction
or
anything
like
that.
F
Keeping
in
mind
that
we
were
at
one
point
about
500
or
so
students
more
than
we
are
right
now
right,
so
we
still
have
that
room
to
grow.
We
have
to
figure
out
where
to
put
the
kids,
because
we've
made
a
lot
of
beautiful
steam
spaces
right
and
we're
keeping
them.
So
what
we
we
have
that
all
projected
out,
but
we
do
have
enrollment
growth,
which
is
a
good
thing
right
and
Kelly
did
I
talk
too
much.
Did
you
get
a
lot
all.
F
Did
right
so
here
is
continuing
the
vision
and
my
predecessors
have
said
that
they
wanted
every
k-11
child
to
have
the
same
opportunities
awarded,
afforded
our
graduating,
seniors
and
I,
say:
I
want
them
to
have
more
opportunities
than
our
graduating
seniors
and
that's
what
we've
been
sticking
to.
F
We
have
been
very
successful
as
a
school
district
because
we're
in
a
very
cohesive
Community,
there
are
lots
of
things
troubling
the
world
around
us
and
I
feel
very
fortunate
to
be
in
a
community
that
supports
our
schools,
and
we
have
a
mission
together
to
support
these
kids.
I.
Don't
see
that
everywhere
else,
so
I'm
very
grateful
to
that
and
I
would
like
you
to
go
to
our
website
under
curriculum
and
instruction
and
academic
departments,
to
learn
more
also
on
our
website.
There's
something
called
special
recognition.
F
G
The
the
budget
vote
is
May
16th
at
HCC,
from
6
30
to
9
pm
and.
F
We
also
have,
in
addition
to
the
budget
vote.
There
are
two
board
seats
that
are
available
and
we
have
our
two
existing
board
members
who
are
vying
for
those
seats
again
and
we
do
not
have
anyone
else
who
has
picked
up
a
petition,
but
I
do
encourage
you
to
go
out
to
vote.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
votership.
F
B
F
F
F
E
G
Was
going
to
expire
next
year,
it
was
scheduled
to
but
they're
going
to
renegotiate
and
have
an
additional
pilot
for
five
to
seven
years,
so
I
estimated
that
amount
going
forward,
but
we
should
have
that
number
fairly
soon.
Eagle
Birdman
is
has
about
six
years
left
on
their
private
agreement
when
a
pilot
expires,
it's
a
long
story
but
there's
a
formula
there's
a
tax
levy
formula
which
you
can
get
the
maximum
allowable
tax
levy.
So
it's
a
piece
of
that
formula,
so
the
pilot
comes
off.
It
really
reduces
the
maximum
allowable
tax
level.
C
G
G
F
I've
lost
time
for
that
time,
but
we
do
have
a
capital
reserve
that
we
have
been
putting
money
into
so
when
we
have
to
do
major
projects
that
we're
not
going
out
for
a
bond
and
we'll
use
the
reserves.
If
we
need
to
use
the
reserves
we
always
have
built
into
the
budget
every
year,
certain
amount
of
reserves
we're
allowing
ourselves
to
utilize.
Fortunately
we
have
it.
We
have
a
little
bit.
We
haven't
had
to
dip
into
those
reserves
very
much.
F
A
problem
no
I'm,
just
curious
yeah.
That
was
a
good
question.
You
know
why,
because
it's
the
as
it's
the
assessed
value
of
these
office
spaces
I
mean
when
I
drive
through
armalk
a
lot
of
full
stores
when
I
drive
through
many
other
towns,
I,
don't
see,
storefronts
I,
don't
see.
Office
Buildings
I
see
empty
Office
Buildings
everywhere,
so
the
assessed
value
of
an
office
building
is
very
low
right
now.
E
F
So
I
know
a
lot
are
there
are
some
that
are
remote
but
they're,
pretty
they're
pretty
active
over
at
the
IBM
campus
yeah.
We
were
there
last
summer.
We
they
allowed
us
to
go
over
there
and
do
our
administrative
retreatsum
yeah
for
two
days
wow
and
there
were
it-
was
Milling
with
people
yeah
yeah.
It's
a
beautiful
facility.
A
B
F
Totally
and
I
have
to
say
that
I've
been
here
longer
than
the
Byron
Hills
Education
Foundation
has
been
here,
but
I
have
seen
a
complete
metamorphosis
in
our
schools
because
of
them
think
about
all
of
those
programs
that
we
have
at
the
high
school
who
were
starting
with
the
bhaf,
the
kids
outside
on
the
patios
for
bhf
Global
Scholars,
when
they
took
20
20
of
our
teachers
and
administrators
and
did
a
leadership
conference
in
them
so
that
they
could
start
the
global
Scholars
Program
going
up
to
Harvard
for
a
think
tank
to
get
that
program
started
like
that
doesn't
come
from
taxpayer
funds.
F
F
Now
that
we've
driven
your
morning
to
something
wonderful,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
any
other
questions
before
we
move
on
all
right
and
always
contact
Kelly
Seibert.
If
you
do
have
questions
he's
available
and
thanks
for
listening
and
then
when
you
get
it
on
the
video
sent
home,
you
may
want
to
look
at
it
to
see
our
board
president
Lara
stangle,
but
other
than
that
it
will
be
the
same
information
all.
