Secondary and special-education updates: ParentSquare group, Regents discussion and regionalization review
Summary
Middle/high principal Megan Walls and Director of CSE Kerry Adams updated the board on special education parent communications (ParentSquare group), faculty data meetings, TCIS/CVES training, and concerns about the Earth Science Regents reading demands; superintendent reported on possible radio replacements and DEC contact about geese. The board reviewed a CVES regionalization plan.
Megan Walls, middle and high school principal, and Kerry Adams, director of CSE, briefed the board on secondary- and special-education items. Adams said a ParentSquare group was created for families receiving special education services to facilitate questions and communication, and a special-education parent member attended a virtual training that the district found helpful.
Walls said science teachers discussed the new Earth Science Regents, which she described as reading-heavy, and noted staff attended TCIS refresher and circle training at CVES. Faculty meetings are scheduled every five weeks with a focused data point to measure progress. Superintendent Robert McAuliffe said he contacted the Department of Environmental Conservation about geese on district property and discussed possible radio replacements through BOCES to restore aid radio functionality.
The board also reviewed the CVES Regionalization Plan and recommendations; that review was informational in this session with no final action recorded in the meeting transcript.
