“We’re about two thirds of the way through, reviewing the code of conduct,” Dr. Wilson said during the superintendent’s report, noting the committee has studied the document line by line and wants more time to align language to the district’s strategic goals.

Why it matters: the board heard that the rewrite is intended to align discipline language with the district’s strategic plan and with social and emotional learning, restorative practices and multi‑tiered systems of support (MTSS). District staff said they plan an intensive program of professional development in 2025–26 so the revised code can be implemented consistently across schools in 2026–27.

The DEI committee is roughly 40 members, the district said; about 30 members attended the full committee meeting that voted unanimously to follow the timeline staff presented. The board was told the district will maintain two versions of the code online: a shorter plain‑language summary (the version most families will see) and a longer, explanatory version with more detail.

Changes highlighted in the draft include updated DASA (Dignity for All Students Act) coordinator listings for each site, a link to a distraction‑free schools plan, and new references to the district’s recently adopted AI policy (policy 5840). Dr. Wilson said changes are marked in yellow in the draft so reviewers can find them quickly.

On timing, Dr. Wilson told the board the current plan will be posted for the 30‑day public comment period that typically runs into July, brought back to the board for a vote in August, and that a more heavily revised draft will be completed in the 2025–26 school year for effect in 2026–27.

The board also heard a recap of the district’s student‑led “Challenge to Change” event. Dr. Wilson said about 250 students attended; activities included student emcees, student‑designed sessions, healing circles and a leadership “paper tower” challenge. Guest presenter Dakari Singletary, a Sweet Home alumnus who runs a school program called Candles in the Sun, led sessions the district described as particularly popular with students.

No formal board action was taken on the code of conduct at the meeting; staff said they will post the draft for public review and return any public comments to the board as part of the usual process before a final vote.

Next steps: the district will post the draft code and related safety/distraction‑free documents on its website for public comment, collect and share comments with the board, continue committee work through 2025–26, and pursue the planned professional development before implementing the updated code in 2026–27.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Test BOE Meeting - June 4, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Sweet Home Central School District’s DEI committee has completed roughly two‑thirds of a line‑by‑line review of the district code of conduct and will post a revised plain‑language draft for 30 days of public comment before the board considers it in August, district staff told the board.","taxTitle","SWEET HOME CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",69150,"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},6203506,"Glendale PTA president: $18,000 raised, program support and 15 events this year",141,1799000,1940000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3782968-221215eb5cae3caeb55f8780136dfda5&start=1799&end=1940","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3782968-221215eb5cae3caeb55f8780136dfda5/thumbnail_1799000.jpg","/articles/6203506/New-York/Glendale-PTA-president-18000-raised-program-support-and-15-events-this-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203506-acbc3e52cd137d276fbc3283f7beacf6/orig.mp4?Expires=1775524458&Signature=F6UeIhRIpyCwCd0yks3cjDrcIBaKVQ4FYfgsv9wnp7TcggcNWPdygfsoq1A2wVwjTs3g2yz25b~SxdR2xAMEE2uwQgR3dRecmh4L8PjILXU6dUMAq3Ff3N62IpQBST8yJwXTKBUh9upVlVZiK~D1VNftch-0-BSnCaRTCcZ4Ipb9ORBwzqA0hk0HY6DcYReLbmbj31xEqSkcDmF0k3yzl-vQOZusrghk1PtSghc7A1KoNdvlvTpo~dOGpqnLDD0c2slUE4dfKZd4t4Y9xCXoF0d7ZW~W3lLx0fEzwstACE1sYekIXOm1YEGv3G7gcOWtsnzUBTSdQRKMxwCFgORVpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jamie Mancine, president of the Glendale Elementary PTA, addressed the board during open session to recap the PTA’s work this year and to thank the district for recognition.

“We raised over $18,000 this year for Glendale,” Mancine said, listing staff appreciation events, donations of classroom games and support for field trips and student programs.

Mancine told the board the PTA ran 15 events, held nine appreciation events for staff, donated more than 50 classroom games, supported seven field trips, provided a birthday book to each student and supplied T‑shirts for field trips and leadership assemblies. The PTA also supported the school’s Leader in Me program and its student lighthouse team, and will award a scholarship to one senior next week, Mancine said.

Why it matters: the PTA’s fundraising and volunteer work support classroom programming and student experiences that supplement district resources.

Mancine asked the board and other PTAs to highlight positive work on social media, saying community visibility helps recruiting and retention for volunteer organizations.

No formal board action was taken on the remarks; the board thanked the PTA for its work.","Jamie Mancine, Glendale Elementary PTA president, told the board the PTA raised more than $18,000 this year and supported multiple programs, appreciation events, field trips and student initiatives.",{"_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},6203511,"Voters back Sweet Home budget; two board members re‑elected",1161,85000,1246000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3782968-221215eb5cae3caeb55f8780136dfda5&start=85&end=1246","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3782968-221215eb5cae3caeb55f8780136dfda5/thumbnail_85000.jpg","/articles/6203511/New-York/Voters-back-Sweet-Home-budget-two-board-members-reelected","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203511-d38ad34f2f836c48eeb6cac2552d4574/orig.mp4?Expires=1775524458&Signature=A8EXqpK-VMu9hRTRGzu3345ECkxNHuSsJ~FxnEBr0OkEhx4CTVYlIJghI9g1~DkeRW71~y4nGbgwadYb80W41jjx078KcqHjNlfJp38SArmd4SKlvsXwZB2LPKc0AqpbjXE8hgRqZhFWiqHXKrNjr9HSwtL0rmXCzrJCvW1k3V1HzUjVxwFTPPImUF3-f~WeFfP4cjf6FfLGoXHlF-qBSRA5P68oFXslizH1MmkyHJ8avnen0OTRpFa4~yIXTFC-lZ3J0TyMBmB821R4ynbhfieiU0nY~lN3Nx~TrI-QJ2reC3yDzNFVZqjY~s-9-8MC-meOOZIiuNVKZfAu1jeF6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Voters approved the Sweet Home Central School District budget on May 20, district officials told the board, with roughly 78% of ballots cast in favor and about 1,013 total votes recorded.

The superintendent thanked the community for the result and congratulated board members Brian and Dirk on being re‑elected to new five‑year terms.

The board discussed turnout briefly: a board member asked how current turnout compared with past votes and was told the district typically sees between about 1,100 and 1,200 votes on similar matters; this year’s turnout was described as “a little lower than normal.”

No new budget action was taken at the meeting; the board noted they will certify the results and proceed with normal fiscal planning. Other routine business the board previewed for the next meeting included several bids (milk and juice, science supplies, school bus parts), disposal of obsolete technology equipment, use of reserves, a retirees proclamation, and an overnight boys hockey trip request for January 2026.

Board members did not take a formal vote on the budget at this meeting; staff presented the election result as information to the board.

The board also congratulated the newly renamed panther logo contest winner and noted ongoing work to transition the new mark across district materials.","District officials reported the May 20 vote approved the proposed budget with roughly 78% approval and about 1,013 ballots cast; board members Brian and Dirk were each re‑elected to five‑year terms.","actionData","errors"]
