Board members said adopting the SEQR resolution is a required step to proceed with the proposed work across the district and officially kicks off the campaign related to the project if the board moves forward. At a separate vote, the board passed the proposition resolution that schedules a special vote on Sept. 30, 2025 for a capital project referendum; board members repeatedly stated the project would have no additional tax impact as presented.

The board also adopted a separate resolution for a proposed capital outlay at Northside Elementary, described in the meeting as a $100,000 project included annually in the budget and associated with ongoing flooring work.

Board members and staff said the environmental review and the proposition resolution are administrative prerequisites that allow the district to present the project to voters and continue design and outreach work this summer and fall.

All votes on the SEQR resolution, the special-vote proposition and the Northside capital outlay resolution passed by unanimous voice votes recorded on the agenda.","The board adopted environmental review steps required by New York State for a proposed 2025 capital project, approved a proposition calling a special vote on Sept. 30, 2025, and approved a separate $100,000 annual capital outlay for Northside Elementary flooring.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514923,"Fairport board recognizes 272 honor graduates and spring scholar-athletes",1226,47000,1273000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5022674-9ac06963302f695607350b0d842a3b28&start=47&end=1273","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5022674-9ac06963302f695607350b0d842a3b28/thumbnail_47000.jpg","/articles/6514923/New-York/Fairport-board-recognizes-272-honor-graduates-and-spring-scholar-athletes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514923-3128a37fff1ee2b44c3cbb5feafcc53a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186583&Signature=GQCD2VGULVxsH4X2MJQ83AxfK032IMQAXLxo-oDXAwarAu2u-3qYfIpni65FJTZejtYEaZq0jlL7FfrmWzwtpo-2Phsb2xUD15nInxdn5loWkjWz0RKLfD84hKRUniN~xUJKhXenUmiPo6arNL8c0sajGNhv-s8fcYVJRM6z6DOb0iZBif~VK-w8V2X4QMkL~wMKiHel9CsWCk8yNzumsE-1v~OD4Xi0mSHOUEMxYrKTDNxhk9tXmLSPCBdQE8-dR-47RPBzenuwDYVrU5N1ilWvDCAPGOL~crP1E4V65NMUnnHF9yVS0jdRA7HPKgyAo0X4jr0rmLP9o-FUAWYzlA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairport Central School District Board of Education opened its meeting with recognition of academic and athletic achievements, including 272 students designated as graduates with Latin honors and multiple spring scholar-athlete team awards.

Principal Bob Clark told the board the district moved to Latin honors several years ago and now recognizes 19 summa (97.5–100 average), 122 magna (92.5–97.4) and 131 cum laude (87.5–92.4) graduates, a total of 272 students from a graduating class of 421. Clark said the district does not weight grades and that the honors listing is based on a seven-semester cumulative average pulled in January.

The board also heard an athletic recognition from the district athletic director and staff: every spring varsity team earned the scholar-athlete team award (team GPA thresholds apply), with softball recording the highest team GPA (96.13) followed by flag football (95.5) and boys varsity tennis (95.54). The district highlighted team accomplishments across baseball, flag football, boys and girls lacrosse, softball, track and field, and tennis; individual state-level performances and honors were noted, including state qualifiers and high-school All-American designations for several athletes.

Board members and administrators thanked coaches, guidance counselors, staff who organize honors events, parents and volunteers. The board noted upcoming graduation events and the district’s end-of-year celebrations.

No formal action was taken during the recognition portion; the board moved on to regular agenda business after the presentations.","The board heard a presentation recognizing 272 honor graduates (summa/magna/ cum laude) and acknowledged multiple spring scholar-athlete teams and individual athletic honors.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_46":105,"_48":106,"_50":107,"_52":108,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":109,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":110,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514925,"Fairport board discusses new state-mandated personal electronic device rules; district to gather community feedback before August second read",913,1901000,2814000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5022674-9ac06963302f695607350b0d842a3b28&start=1901&end=2814","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5022674-9ac06963302f695607350b0d842a3b28/thumbnail_1901000.jpg","/articles/6514925/New-York/Fairport-board-discusses-new-state-mandated-personal-electronic-device-rules-district-to-gather-community-feedback-before-August-second-read","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514925-941921f0193440cff00c920d4fef0e3c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186583&Signature=jHGOfEr6pn01bF5fUdfJ~0xoCoCChfmNwQTHgmRjH3i2ZbL1ZuJ-e51GpOl-t3gvYq27lHf49aeMoU~wveWh6HgDueB28yoxZ0KqDbqOlEUIQeF1ncbb-nXaAxGA-n~HKauAjBfCbfXrNC4vJEwa15vpccK1l5Eb0QyqYlBBfewHNfVtWv2oNj5yrdzGk0bMZJdTlZBzSaxBKcxXtXA0Iym3QNwEBb5-yfVaI6bOfWZ2kfxhr-o1vanuQKXqSZzNxqHKJTa25rrpRY0v9EW9RY-D-9sgWTG6TGyMhESFzPnfrOjdTCRSQUNom~pzLIN9sLuZQGrNA~I4xCyVBRBOvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairport Central School District Board of Education on Monday discussed a new state requirement that sharply limits student use of personal electronic devices during the school day and agreed to delay a final local policy until administrators gather community feedback.

Board members said the law effectively prohibits smartphone and similar personal internet-device use from the start to the end of the school day except for statutorily required exceptions such as documented medical needs or accommodations specified in an individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504 plan. The board held a first reading of related policies and directed administration to solicit input from teachers, families, union representatives and students before a second reading in August.

The discussion matters because the state-level rule removes some local discretion about where and when devices can be used during the school day. Board members and administrators said Fairport already has local practices that reduce device use in classrooms, hallways and lunchrooms, but they emphasized the district must now align local practice with the statutory requirements while preserving individualized accommodations.

Superintendent Brett Provenzano and board members described key points the district will communicate while collecting feedback: the law allows exceptions for medical and disability accommodations; translator and communication apps used for instruction may be permitted; student-support teams and building principals will manage individualized requests; and disciplinary consequences for device use are limited by the statute (the law bars exclusionary punishments like suspensions for device possession or use in many contexts).

Board members asked for measurable data to evaluate the policy’s educational goals. One member said the enacted law focuses on prohibitions and reporting but does not require measures of educational or well-being outcomes; she asked administration to gather both compliance data (incidents recorded) and measures tied to student engagement and learning as implementation proceeds. Several board members said they plan to use ex officio student board members and building visits to collect student perspectives on how the rule affects classroom culture.

The board also discussed implementation details: processes for medical or IEP/504 accommodations will be filtered through the Committee on Special Education; staff will develop building-level procedures, restorative supports and a graduated response before any punitive step; and a district “thought-exchange” or survey will be deployed by July 1 to gather stakeholder input to inform advocacy with the state and local implementation choices.

The board’s policy committee recommended the district conduct outreach now, treat the first read as informational and bring a second reading for formal adoption in August to allow time for stakeholder engagement.

Board members emphasized they will continue advocating for local control at the state level while aligning district practice with the law.

The discussion did not itself adopt a final local policy; related policy readings and formal votes on the policy slate occur elsewhere on the agenda.","Board members discussed a state law that restricts student use of smartphones and similar devices during the school day, agreed to a first read of related policies and to collect stakeholder feedback before a second reading in August.","actionData","errors"]
