The item had been discussed previously in executive session; the board returned to open session and asked for a motion to approve the appeal or the accompanying resolution. A member moved and another seconded the motion; the board then voted by voice. \"All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carried,\" the meeting record shows.

Why it matters: Residency appeal decisions determine a student\u0000s official enrollment status and can affect tuition, placement and related services. The board noted this item had been considered in executive session before the public vote.

Details: The motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. No roll-call tally with individual member votes was recorded in the public transcript. The board proceeded with remaining business after the vote.

Lori Woliver, introduced as president of the Education Foundation, said the foundation sets aside $5,000 each year to fund teacher grants and that award amounts are allocated by school population. \"The Education Foundation has set aside $5,000 each year for key projects,\" Woliver said during the meeting.

Awarded projects named at the meeting included:
- Colleen Coburn (Netherwood Elementary): a $445.36 grant to purchase more than 60 \"Who Was?\" biographical books to support student reports and communication skills. Coburn described the plan: \"We're going to be reading a bunch of exciting Who Was? Books... the students will be giving reports, which will help them with their communication skills.\"
- Erin Daniels and Karen Armstrong (Haviland Middle School): an award of roughly $1,100\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000to $1,150 to support the Haviland garden project, covering stone delivery, soil upgrades, a new grow tower and irrigation items.
- Natalie Ellis: a grant described as $452 for 42 multicultural titles to expand a classroom multicultural library and support a book vending machine that provides summer reading books to students.

Woliver said the foundation has provided recurring grants and scholarships over many years and estimated total giving of about $17,000 for teacher grants and roughly $6,000 for student scholarships (figures she described from memory).

Separately, the board presented a plaque to student board member Lizbeth for her service this year and announced a new civic engagement award to recognize a consistently involved student; Roman Pemberton received that civic engagement recognition.

Human resources chief Ryan Judge led a retirement recognition segment, listing more than a dozen retirees by name and asking the room to applaud their years of service. Judge also announced that Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Services Melissa Lawson had achieved tenure in her administrative role; the board paused for a reception to celebrate the retirees and tenure announcement.

Why it matters: Foundation grants provide targeted classroom resources and enrichment tied to the district\u0000s portrait of a graduate; the recognitions highlight leadership, service and staff transitions ahead of the new school year.

Next steps: Recipients will implement listed classroom projects during the summer and coming year; the board paused the meeting for a brief celebration before resuming business.

Smith Elementary was identified under New York State\u0000s accountability system as a targeted support and improvement (TSI) school for the students-with-disabilities subgroup.

The presentation, led by Miss Turner and Principal Darling and reviewed during the Board of Education meeting, laid out recent assessment data, short-term targets and three primary strategies the district will use next year: adopting and coaching on high-quality literacy materials, expanding structured before-school enrichment, and strengthening the district\u0000s multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) and PBIS work.

District staff said the school\u0000s third-grade proficiency in English language arts stood at 28 percent (64 of 227 students). Within that third-grade group, 41 students were identified as students with disabilities and only one of those students was proficient on the state assessment, the presenters said. District assessment results from NWEA MAPS showed a districtwide gain in reading from about the 30th to the 40th percentile year over year; the students-with-disabilities subgroup improved from roughly the 9th to the 13th percentile.

Why it matters: identification as a TSI school brings additional scrutiny and requires a school- and district-level corrective plan tied to measurable goals. Miss Turner told the board the district set explicit targets for next year: a 10\u000020to\u00001515 percentage-point increase in third-grade proficiency and a 5 percentage-point increase in other grades, with regular interim monitoring.

Key measures and strategies
- Curriculum and coaching: Staff said the district has begun phonics work this year with UFLY and is preparing for wider literacy curriculum implementation next year with additional professional development and embedded coaching through HMH.
- Before-school enrichment: The district proposes a 12-week, before-school enrichment block that would provide about one additional hour per week of small-group reading instruction. The plan described six sections (one per elementary grade level) staffed by interested teachers; success metrics would include daily attendance for enrolled students and comparative growth against nonparticipants.
- MTSS and PBIS expansion: Ralph R. Smith will continue PBIS initiatives (assemblies, rewarded behavior systems such as HootLoot cards) and expand data-driven MTSS supports, with an emphasis on reducing suspensions and increasing positive referrals and student belonging/perception survey results.

Data approach and monitoring: Trustees were told the district will use NWEA MAPS and local benchmarks throughout the year for frequent monitoring and to guide coaching or intervention adjustments. Presenters emphasized cohort tracking (following the same group of students across grades) rather than only comparing year-to-year grade-level percents.

State accountability changes and timeline: Staff reminded the board that the state accountability system is being revised. The minimum subgroup N-size used for accountability has been lowered from 30 to 20, fifth-grade science will return to elementary accountability, social studies will reappear at the high school level, and other indicators such as college/career readiness and civic readiness are being reintroduced. District staff said preliminary test results are typically available late August, official designations are usually announced in November and become shareable publicly around January.

Board questions focused on cohort interpretation, how the MAPS percentiles related to state results, and specifics of supports for students with disabilities. Presenters acknowledged the need for targeted coaching and additional resources for that subgroup and said HMH coaching and tailored supports at Ralph R. Smith would be prioritized.

Next steps: The district-level plan will support the school plan through aligned professional learning communities, continued expansion of authentic assessments, and a multi-year MTSS rollout. Staff said they will return to the board with progress updates tied to interim MAPS benchmarks and other monitoring measures.
