Max Fair, who identified himself as a 2012 graduate and parent, said he visited recently and feared that costumes might be moved to the Historical Society because of space limits; he said he later learned that was a misunderstanding and that costumes had been returned to the shop. Fair described how the program provided him with technical training and life skills, saying the program “gave me direction and purpose” and noting his later study and work in theater.

Travis Lamprecht, a 2014 graduate, described how stagecraft helped steer him into a career in professional theater and technical production; he said the district’s facilities and hands-on training positioned students to enter college and the theater trades, and he urged the board not to allow the program’s resources to be lost.

Caitlin McDonald, a 2011 graduate who is now a clinical social worker, said the stagecraft program creates belonging and resilience for students and cited her own career changes as evidence of the program’s long-term value.

Board members and staff responded that the costume move was a misunderstanding, the district had arranged for the items to be returned to the shop, and that the board and administrators will consider the alumni concerns as they make facility and storage decisions. The board thanked the speakers for describing the program’s educational and community value.","Three alumni and former program participants told the board that the high-school theater and stagecraft program is an important educational resource and urged the district to maintain costume storage and stagecraft facilities; officials said the reported move of costumes was a misunderstanding and items had been returned.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6494612,"District presents AP and Regents results; officials highlight high proficiency rates and rising AP participation",1600,1301000,2901000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782998-c9e3e9d1f560dfc777d859f6a3adceb4&start=1301&end=2901","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782998-c9e3e9d1f560dfc777d859f6a3adceb4/thumbnail_1301000.jpg","/articles/6494612/New-York/District-presents-AP-and-Regents-results-officials-highlight-high-proficiency-rates-and-rising-AP-participation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6494612-94a88d6a2a9cf0c4308062aa3d21c6ff/orig.mp4?Expires=1770510233&Signature=O5jF0jJo4mamM-Tuk~3fyWqEWkaxliEYmng8VPQpKPUuoWQvOfldMXiA892RD0LTKu87DUXfAW7F0G7~Gs6qBLMD9Qo7eCXH92WNxraS4anjeKHEETPvjvNMaspqgeaNgHejW0rfAyhS3reCD0uY4yW7N7AGHY67rYXlGJgy9PBji7NgWEzBa-sRZPrlTmav0kiVdu568H-E4xCWWZZ7AxVoxZWHB-LJNPswAiQIcmT5vC1670a1M2PwEgJAtqvB1TFjsz-Ok2NfeAOsvVxwiPbEJZwgNuiWso-ZM4lNxuyNXzssdDfl2qErqwzYGxYEz8qFxv62VrqNlMEezN0blg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Eastport-South Manor Central School District administrators presented results for Advanced Placement exams and June New York State Regents on Sept. 17, reporting strong proficiency and mastery rates in multiple subjects and growth in AP participation and honors recognition.

Doctor Christie (district-level presenter) and members of the junior/senior high leadership team reviewed AP exam participation and stated the district expects a possible upgrade from the AP Honor Roll silver medal to gold, citing continued gains in student scores and the district's initiative to pay for one AP exam per student to expand access. Presenters said the district recorded dozens of AP scholars and a variety of AP recognitions: 76 AP scholars, 76 AP scholars with distinction, 31 AP scholars with honors, 14 AP Capstone diplomas and four AP Seminar & Research certificates.

On state-regents results, the team reported subject-level outcomes including:
- English language arts: 86% proficiency and 46% mastery (presenters compared this to Suffolk County averages).
- Algebra I: the team reported a 7 percentage-point advantage over the county and an average raw-score increase of 8 points year over year; special-education and ENL subgroup passing rates were also discussed.
- Geometry and Algebra II: presenters reported proficiency and multi-year improvements, with Algebra II cited at a 96% passing rate.
- New science exams (first administration under new New York State science-learning standards): Earth and space science proficiency was reported at 85%; life-science/biology accelerated eighth-grade cohort was reported at 99% proficiency for the cohort described.

Directors described work to prepare students earlier (elementary and junior-high pre-AP preparation), common-assessment planning, curriculum development, and planned integration of assessment tools (LinkIt) to disaggregate data. Presenters told the board they are collecting five-year trend lines for future presentations, noting that many exams have shifted to new standards and that historical comparisons should be footnoted.

Board members asked about the physics results, noting the district increased physics participation dramatically; presenters said they will analyze the physics exam in comparison with county districts and return with findings. Presenters also emphasized the district's continuing professional development and curriculum alignment across subject directors and teachers.

Presenters noted enrollment decline as a context for the results: one presenter said more than 100 students moved out over recent periods (a prior-year figure of about 70 was cited), and that the district's static or improving exam metrics are notable given that enrollment trend.","District leaders and directors presented June Regents and Advanced Placement results, reporting proficiency and mastery rates above county averages in many subjects and a large cohort of AP scholars; presenters noted declining enrollment but increasing AP participation and board-funded exams for students.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6494617,"Board hears capital-project progress; district says phase work largely complete and $4.2 million under budget pending bids",436,435000,871000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782998-c9e3e9d1f560dfc777d859f6a3adceb4&start=435&end=871","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782998-c9e3e9d1f560dfc777d859f6a3adceb4/thumbnail_435000.jpg","/articles/6494617/New-York/Board-hears-capital-project-progress-district-says-phase-work-largely-complete-and-42-million-under-budget-pending-bids","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6494617-246ba5a4fddcb88a3006f87a5ed20de7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770510233&Signature=Pg2IEGj6kBbftLSB4r10kcx04cuKxyty4PWHEKKVoWsaBvfJoOKLPwlvxm0muB5fNamlAb3Bt9y6sZVM0AOJ7YRmcIMPl-acjxV3MmIQXWId4TUn7F5Hmo4EtCn3bJe64sDQi4Ul4YJ-iVKUC7Iyk4br8rfoe6GhKcVAdxse4r3OKp-SfZFLUffzLjHFNmJDCSQ9O2tMZi8vxgsR81iwt4RCK4reY6nj7laR2GBEtBePjrQTY0qFsgObrk1Avhuj45WVjH7NlkUMTSsB02KDHKK-9W4cTHqOfL-SY8AlmvYOWfWbeb9zaqh9Bm1z~nEFiWxdw~kjVxVeWK5Of8UnpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Eastport-South Manor Central School District trustees heard a monthly capital-project update Sept. 17 from H2M (the district architects) and Park East Construction (the construction manager) on the district's multi-phase renovations and additions.

Project presenters said three of the four buildings in phase 1 (Dayton, South Street and Eastport elementary schools) are closed out, the junior/senior high work is nearly complete, and phase 2—an addition and multiple alterations at the high school plus elementary renovations—remains active. The presenters reported work-progress items including gym-floor refinishes, window and door installations, HVAC and unit-ventilator replacements, new teachers' desks and cubbies in UPK classrooms, masonry repointing and underpinning and shoring for the new high-school addition.

Board members were shown a budget summary that the presenters said currently shows the combined phases about $4,200,000 under budget, but they cautioned the board that a major package—the alterations bidding—will be opened Oct. 16, and the district will not know final cost exposure until contract negotiations are complete. The presenters said the addition portion of the high-school project is about 10% complete while the alterations are roughly 60% complete.

The update listed short-term remaining items: contractor closeout documentation and punch-list work across the sites; the high-school athletic complex will finish track and field restriping and remaining punch-list items; Eastport Elementary still needs window and sliding-glass-door installations and final door placements for bathrooms; and the high-school addition foundation underpinning and excavation work will continue through additional levels before footings are placed. Presenters said interior mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-ins for the high-school alteration scope will be completed in coming weeks.

On athletics and grounds, the board was told that contractors repaired discoloration on the track surface and corrected damage to a long-jump area that district staff said resulted from vehicle traffic over a competition surface. The presenters said the contractor paid to repair that damage. Board members asked about gate and road paving to the high school; presenters said bids for that work will be solicited with construction planned for spring 2026, contingent on asphalt-plant availability.

Board members also raised construction-operational concerns: dust control during interior work and the effect of temporary partitions on fire drills. Presenters said contractors installed plastic barriers and additional sealing around construction zones after a dust-related fire drill; they acknowledged some dust is expected during upcoming drywall/spackle work and said the contractor would use additional taping and sealing to limit exposure while students are in the buildings.

The board was told two change orders related to ongoing work would appear on the consent agenda later in the meeting.

The district's architects and construction manager left the board with a request that the board note the October bid opening for the alterations package and that final budget-to-completion numbers will be available after the district receives and negotiates those bids.","District architects and the construction manager told the Eastport-South Manor board that phase 1 of the capital project is nearly complete, phase 2 work is underway, and the combined program shows a $4.2 million favorable variance before October bid results.","actionData","errors"]
