Lindsay Lecce (spoke with classmate Eloise Barney) told the board she and classmates developed the idea in an anatomy class and delivered a formal letter and slide presentation with data, unit lists and testimony from former students. The students asked the district to consider a longer or second course to cover six additional units that the current half-year format leaves out, and to better serve students preparing for health-science college programs and careers.

The students presented quantitative points in their slides: they reported that 7.6 percent of electives at Fairport belong to the science department (excluding AP, SUPA and required classes), that an informal petition collected more than 50 student signatures, and that analysis of past decision posts on a Fairport \"decisions\" Instagram account showed an average of 22 percent of posters pursuing health-science majors. The students said classmates and alumni provided testimonies in the slideshow arguing a longer course would improve college readiness.

Superintendent Brett Provenzano acknowledged receipt of the students' materials and said district directors for math, science and technology would review the proposal. Provenzano said he had already asked staff to connect with the students, and that school leaders including the directors and Mr. Clark would meet with them to develop the idea and see how it fits within district curriculum planning.

No board action was taken; the item was presented during public comment and the board directed staff to meet with the students and curriculum leaders to study the proposal and report back.

Board members and administrators said the draft policy aims to prohibit smartphone use during the school day except in narrowly defined circumstances, while allowing local administrators to set specific implementation details. The board will send the draft to the policy committee on June 13 for detailed review before moving toward an August adoption timeline.

Discussion at the May 27 meeting focused on several implementation questions: whether the policy applies \"bell to bell\" (prohibiting use in classrooms, hallways and cafeterias), precise language to distinguish smartphones from basic non-internet phones, how schools should store devices during the day, and how to ensure equitable treatment for students with individualized plans. Board members noted that the governor's language targets \"internet-connected personal devices,\" and that older flip phones would not be covered in the same way.

Several board members voiced concern about enforcement and potential power struggles between staff and students if cafeteria and study-hall phone use is restricted. Members emphasized the \"why\" of the policy'centering student mental health and instructional engagement'but also cautioned that some students use devices to decompress, especially neurodiverse students who may need quiet time.

Administrators said they will consult legal counsel, review regulatory guidance, confer with building principals and unions, and prepare regulations and Q&A materials for the community. The district plans to retain flexibility where the law permits and to outline exceptions (for example, approved accommodations under Section 504 or individualized education plans) in the forthcoming regulations.

No formal board action was taken at the meeting; the item was presented as a discussion and the board asked administrators to bring a recommended regulation and communication plan to the policy committee on June 13.

The district announced that 1,918 residents voted yes and 820 voted no on the budget. Board and district officials said the capital plan for elementary and middle schools is designed to address health-and-safety issues, critical infrastructure and aging building systems while maintaining no additional tax levy for taxpayers by using capital reserves and maximizing state building aid.

Officials said the project totals $73,500,000, that 96.63 percent of the project is aidable and that the estimated building aid ratio is 75.4 percent. Superintendent Brett Provenzano described the proposal as focused on \"must-have\" repairs and upgrades rather than'more stylistic or discretionary work, with priorities including updated classrooms, toilet rooms, large-group instructional areas and additional air-conditioned spaces to comply with the governor's cooling-space direction for New York State schools.

The board's timeline calls for continued public information this summer, formal confirmation of required proposition language by July 1, ongoing community events and outreach, and a recommendation to put the capital improvement plan to a referendum on Sept. 30.

In addition to the budget approval, the district reported re-election and ballot outcomes: Jan Fortuna and Dr. Brian Mortz retained their board seats, and a proposition authorizing appropriation from the capital bus purchase reserve passed, helping the district cover future vehicle needs.

District leaders said the project was developed after a multi-month facilities review involving administrators, staff and external consultants, and was constrained by three board priorities: no additional tax levy, best use of district capital reserves, and maximizing state aid. The superintendent and staff said they will continue stakeholder outreach, public information sessions and building-level events through the summer and into the fall to explain specific work at individual schools.

The board did not take a formal vote on placing the proposition on the ballot during the meeting; the presentation was a progress update and a request for continued direction and public outreach ahead of the planned referendum.

The district said the capital work is intended to lengthen useful life and improve efficiency of the K'8 facilities so students entering in 2026 and beyond will use updated spaces.

","Residents approved the 2025–26 school budget by roughly 70%; district leaders described a $73.5 million capital improvement project for K–8 buildings that the board plans to place on a Sept. 30 referendum with no additional tax levy.","actionData","errors"]
