Superintendent's update: safety options to be studied; NYSED approves 4+1 arts pathway
Summary
Mr. Reyes relayed the superintendent's report: the district will distribute safety and security upgrade options (including stanchions and bag-scanner cost guidance) and evaluate weapons-detection systems; NYSED approved an Individual Arts Assessment (4+1) graduation pathway for the district.
Mr. Reyes relayed the superintendent's report June 15, outlining safety-and-security options and other district updates.
Reyes said the district will circulate materials (including last year's presentation) and a cost guide on stanchions and bag scanners and will evaluate the possible addition of weapons-detection systems, noting staff will engage stakeholders and safety experts. "Evaluating the benefits, the challenges, the community impact," he said when describing the weapons-detection review. The report said next steps include adding the topic to unfinished and continuing business so the board can discuss it further.
Reyes also said the district has received New York State Education Department approval for an Individual Arts Assessment (a 4+1 graduation pathway that lets students meet graduation requirements through a locally determined arts sequence and a portfolio). The report concluded with a list of upcoming events: BOCES special education graduation, building moving-up ceremonies, Regents exam dates, Juneteenth closure and the district graduation at SRC Arena on June 21.
