The presenter (identified in the meeting as the IPAC presenter) listed new or replacement instructional materials that the district intends to purchase: a college-accounting textbook aligned with Hudson Valley Community College course expectations; a medical-terminology textbook and accompanying dictionary for a new medical-terminology course; a one-time-license digital-audio production software package for a new introductory audio-production course; small-reader sets tied to the district’s Foundations program for K–3 early-literacy practice; updated Latin 2 and Latin 3 texts; a new high-school global history and geography platform under a three-year contract; a management and leadership textbook for a new business course; and districtwide typing software to support digital-literacy expectations in grades 3–5.

The presenter said the district piloted typing software at elementary schools and selected a paid product to provide consistent instruction across buildings rather than relying on multiple free tools. For the digital-audio class the presenter said staff selected software intended to be industry-aligned while accessible for beginning students; the chosen product has a one-time cost rather than an annual license.

On college credit alignment, staff told the board that a Regents Physics course the district had previously credentialed through Hudson Valley Community College will no longer carry Hudson Valley credit because course and lab requirements no longer align with Hudson Valley’s construction-trades track. The presenter said the district will “continue to run it as a regular Regents Physics course” rather than force a mismatch between district Regents requirements and the college credentialing path. Separately, staff reported that the district found another course — Masterpieces of Drama and Musical Theater — that does align with a Hudson Valley course and will be offered with the opportunity for college credit where students meet college requirements.

Presenters and board members discussed how course requests determine which electives run, the process for reviewing a course’s success over several years, and how staff will monitor the new resources on multi-year cycles. The board was told the detailed memo appended to the meeting agenda lists the exact textbook titles, vendor names and license terms.

Board members asked for clarifications on pilot results and how the district decides on college-credit partnerships; staff referenced conversations with Hudson Valley and said they will continue to seek aligned opportunities.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Shenendehowa Board of Education Meeting | May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District staff presented new textbook and course updates, including plans for new titles, software pilots and changes to college-credit alignments for some classes.","taxTitle","SHENENDEHOWA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",13431,"location","New York","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6225750,"Shenendehowa board reviews exit-poll data after budget passage; poll-takers prioritize programs and staff",123,409000,532000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3533751-a1a15f7373b256a6e3fd94ee6725410b&start=409&end=532","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3533751-a1a15f7373b256a6e3fd94ee6725410b/thumbnail_409000.jpg","/articles/6225750/New-York/Shenendehowa-board-reviews-exit-poll-data-after-budget-passage-poll-takers-prioritize-programs-and-staff","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225750-b2c30cd8193240983eb7c4749745e710/orig.mp4?Expires=1775095121&Signature=OEbf6KnkzRT9q6L62clDLt5NSRF5~lz7Fq99S~~6JZuRf64nMbAt4B5M-QkrnbSDqxMI8mPOC-iZcPWngYNpy1veriNvsLvOlqqC67oMmz0fK1Ukvd5bR-fKpAPEmfMmNq4q1gBd8rYU7bEDXi8oTUm9EOcnF4-EO66KPcitqTnSAooxV5AfGQTMwgaMkyYsUeYwUNkzwe2gDzgTs1Vqt3ccPOHYCifBz~pz6bkd-QDLqV9BgHhBjOHSPxE4X55YS9mXgarvbhxo9WaW~h61dqX68NEOBFfxqAEf10MpdRFFVoyldW-FxVsjbkTU8trZBAWUUx8--yWdEwMA7mdLkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shenendehowa Central School District Board of Education certified the results of the district budget vote and reviewed exit-poll results showing the majority of poll respondents supported the budget, district staff reported during the board’s business session.

The exit-poll presentation said 84% of people who completed the district’s exit poll voted in favor of the budget. The presenter, identified in the meeting as Miss Parkland, told the board that more people completed the exit poll this year than last year and that mix of response methods likely helped: the district offered paper forms, Chromebooks on-site and a QR code for respondents to take the poll on their phones.

Miss Parkland said the district saw “a few less voters overall,” which she called consistent with uncontested elections, but noted an increase in the proportion of voters who completed the exit poll compared with prior years. She said the exit poll helps the district understand which issues motivated voters.

Board members and staff said the poll reaffirmed long-standing priorities: maintaining quality programs and quality staff were top factors in voters’ decisions, followed by rigorous curriculum and social-emotional supports. Miss Parkland said those three categories have consistently ranked highest in prior exit polls. She told the board that 15% of voters who turned out completed the exit poll this year compared with about 12% previously.

Board members asked and commented on how respondents obtain district information; the presenter said the district newsletter and website still rank highly as information sources, and that a local newspaper had inched upward in responses this year. The presentation team said it will use the comments and question rankings to guide communications and program focus, calling out items such as special-education information, expanded arts and clubs, full-day kindergarten planning and consideration of AI impacts in classrooms.

At the same meeting the board approved a bundle of certifications tied to the recent vote — including certification of the budget vote, certification of board member election results and related capital project certifications — in a single motion approved unanimously.

Board members said they will use exit-poll trends to refine outreach on the budget and to communicate ongoing instructional and program work to the community.","Board members certified the district’s recent budget vote and reviewed an exit poll showing most poll respondents supported the budget and prioritized maintaining quality programs and staff.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6225742,"Shenendehowa board approves capital change-order reduction, sale of student-built home, cybersecurity software purchase and new assistant principals",113,2047000,2160000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3533751-a1a15f7373b256a6e3fd94ee6725410b&start=2047&end=2160","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3533751-a1a15f7373b256a6e3fd94ee6725410b/thumbnail_2047000.jpg","/articles/6225742/New-York/Shenendehowa-board-approves-capital-change-order-reduction-sale-of-student-built-home-cybersecurity-software-purchase-and-new-assistant-principals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225742-eefbc885897f85af245c275ec90d4710/orig.mp4?Expires=1775095121&Signature=BqcF-KuIVPXJgt6gMMr6rmZrV8bC-oYbOcb0bUdMtYEBE850NIjjg~8V~oQa76cU9mBVNwxB5UtBZT-cHfGCmwYLVgc8O-MePA86YxvU2Kw4KE6-e72-fk50KY~9p1JAs74msT4z9jk4Ofwfa-J4E85o08gxKA~XLusUwfaPL4OLuZQXTtw3tB-aKtSyxrnTBqT-9sZ~A9q8h3q-o6lYYjZuNfbl~ZSk0tNwgz43-hxhZ5CILqA70S5gHZ12bzhSIyulhOttdWKKe8ow4olOnVeQi6xBfawO5zNyCVs~j08aDf8Nyd0KnkluRaTreRb4EhJtDS3opQSZkARrfO1CEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shenendehowa Central School District Board of Education approved multiple action items during its business session, voting unanimously on a bundled set of administrative and operational matters.

The board approved a capital-project change order that district staff described as a reduction; the presenter stated the change order reduces project costs \"to the tune of\" approximately $1,596 as read during the meeting. Board members approved the motion unanimously.

Separately, the board approved the sale of a student-built modular home. The board discussed minimum-bid procedures and buyer requirements tied to the receiving region; the motion approving the sale passed unanimously.

The board also approved a cooperative purchase through BOCES for an incident-management/security product referred to in meeting remarks as \"CrowdStrike\" (transcript said \"Crown Strike\"), which staff said they are buying through BOCES to take advantage of cooperative purchasing and group pricing. The motion to purchase that product through BOCES passed unanimously.

On staffing, the board approved appointments to the high-school leadership team: Jackie Michalski as associate principal and Jason Belknap and Jacqueline Coughlin as assistant principals. The board congratulated the appointees after the vote; the staffing motion passed unanimously.

Motions for the individual items were moved and seconded on the record where provided; all votes in the session on these items were recorded as five in favor and no opposition.","The board approved a reduction to a capital project change order, the sale of a student-built modular home, a cooperative software purchase through BOCES and staffing appointments for new high-school leadership.","actionData","errors"]
