Staff member says integration of Watervliet students into Green Island UFSD 'going really well'
Summary
At a public forum a resident asked about Watervliet students in Green Island Union Free School District No. 1; a staff member identified as Chris said the district prepared students and advisors and reported no major issues to date.
At the village’s public forum a resident asked how students from Watervliet were settling into the Green Island Union Free School District No. 1. The chair deferred to staff, and Chris — who the chair had signaled could answer — said the district prepared for the transition and he had not heard of problems.
"For everything that we've got so far it's it's going really well," Chris said, adding that staff met in advance with advisors and students to ease the move. A resident at the forum asked whether district staff or administration would track students and families; the chair replied that such tracking would be up to the school district and not the village board.
Board discussion did not identify any policy changes or follow-up actions; the exchange was confined to the public forum and informational updates from staff. The question and the staff response were the only education-related items on the agenda that evening.
