Summary
At its meeting the North Rose‑Wolcott board nominated and approved three candidates to the Wayne‑Finger Lakes BOCES board, approved the BOCES tentative administrative budget of $4,285,332, scheduled a meet‑the‑candidates session, approved green‑sheet administrative items and voted to enter executive session on personnel.
The North Rose‑Wolcott Central School District Board of Education nominated and approved three candidates to serve on the Wayne‑Finger Lakes BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) board and approved the BOCES tentative administrative budget.
John (board member) nominated Linda Egnor for the first BOCES seat; the board conducted a roll‑call and the chair declared Linda Egnor approved for seat No. 1 after seven affirmative responses were recorded. A nomination for Philip Rose secured seat No. 2 following a roll‑call vote. Travis nominated Deborah Korsner for the third seat; the nomination was seconded and the chair indicated the motion carried (the transcript records an anomalous tally phrase during that vote).
The chair moved to approve the Wayne‑Finger Lakes BOCES tentative administrative budget in the amount of $4,285,332 for the applicable term; the board prepared for a roll call on the proposal. Earlier in the meeting the board also placed the consent agenda (including the added green sheet) on the floor and approved it by vote.
In board discussion, members relayed a request from Pamela Pendleton, president of the Wayne‑Finger Lakes BOCES Board, asking district representatives to complete an online questionnaire as part of the BOCES superintendent search. Board members said the survey has been shared with BOCES parents and stakeholders and can be posted to the district website; the survey asks respondents to identify themselves (student, administrator, parent) and allows selecting multiple stakeholder categories. The board agreed to schedule a meet‑the‑candidates session on an upcoming May board night (May 7 was suggested, which is also the budget hearing night) and asked Tina to coordinate arrangements.
On the green sheet the board approved Scribe Boards Association officer elections as read (President Robin Johnson; vice president Julie Neville Nevelizer), designated Reliant Banking Credit Union as a depository for association funds, and approved signatories on association bank accounts (executive director, president, vice president and treasurer). Those motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. The board then voted to enter executive session to discuss the employment of specific employees; the chair said that upon return the board would adjourn without further business.
Where the transcript contains unclear numeric roll‑call wording (one vote is transcribed as "Motion is 37 to 12"), the record here reports the chair’s conclusion that the motion carried and flags the transcript inconsistency. The transcript does not record further detail on personnel matters because the board moved into executive session.
Next steps noted in the meeting included completing the BOCES superintendent survey and holding the scheduled meet‑the‑candidates session prior to the budget vote and board election in May.
