Rescheduled the Aug. 7 meeting to Aug. 14, at 6:30 p.m.

Superintendent’s Report included the following topics:

Currently there are 36 applicants for the technology position and 92 for the anticipated English position.

Revisiting the move of the district office it has become clear that the move would effectively be more disruptive than beneficial. The space available would need modification to best fit the needs of the district office. The superintendent is planning to keep the office in its current location for at least this year and will spend time during the year looking at alternatives outside of the spaces previously discussed with the BOE.

A discussion is needed about district goals in July and have them completed by the end of August.

The BOCES Board has met and agreed to sell us the 2011 Ford Expedition with 30,741 miles for $18,000. This will be purchased from what was budgeted in the 2012-2013 budget.

The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 14,  at 6:30 p.m. in the library.
