failed physical education, and whether any of these students were on sports teams.

COMMENTS ON G
RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Deinhardt explained the need to replace the cooling tower at West Middle and the
boiler at the Chester B. Lord facility.
Mr. Keenan also discussed the critical need to replace the old, outdated, broken
equipment with updated, cost efficient equipment.
President Whalen questioned the costs involved for installing new lines for the cooling
tower at West Middle and it was explained that the lines for the cooling tower were
installed back in 1985, that the lines were tested to see if they could withstand the
pressure of the new equipment and those tests failed.
Mr. Keenan further explained that the new equipment operates under new technology
which makes replacing the existing lines a critical need in order for the equipment to
function properly and in a cost efficient manner.

SPECIAL REPORTS
A. Audit/Accountability Requirements for School Boards by John Harvey. Mr.
Harvey discussed the new legislation regarding audits for school districts and what
measures the district needs to put into place in order to meet these new requirements.
There were several questions and answers regarding the qualifications of audit
committee members, who would appoint them, whether the internal auditor can be a
"shared service" like through BOCES, or a private individual, and the role of the audit
committee in appointing the external auditor.
B. Capital Projects Update by Steve Deinhardt. Mr. Deinhardt gave an overview of
the projects going on in some of the elementary buildings, that contractors are meeting
deadlines, that construction would be completed and the buildings scrubbed and ready
for the start of school. He further invited the board to tour these buildings to see the
finished work.
President Whalen suggested that the district hold celebrations in these buildings where
capital projects have been completed so that the community could come and see what
their taxes paid for.
Mr. O'Connell, Member, said he was impressed by all the changes.
Mrs. Schwartz, Member, asked if the glass at Wilson had been installed and Mr.
Deinhardt indicated that the frames were installed and the glass was ready to be cut. He
also indicated that the elevators were in working order.

PRIVILEGE OF THE
FLOOR
Mr. Greg Branum, concerned citizen, read a letter from a group called the "Campaign
for a New Broome" of which he is a member. The letter was addressed to Mary Cahill.
It referred to the low graduation rate for African American students and the high school
being on the needs improvement list. Mr. Branum expressed his concern that the high
school is in a state of "crisis" and that the Campaign for a New Broome would take
whatever steps were necessary to address this issue with the high school and the
community. Mr. Branum said that he has spoken with stakeholders in the community
are also concerned about the low graduation rate for African American students and
described their reactions as being "dumbfounded". He said that the letter "speaks for
itself" and that something needs to be done about the "crisis" now.
SPECIAL REPORTS
A. Independent Audit Report by Vieira & Skiadas. Mr. Skiadas summarized the
earnings and spendings from the previous school year (2004-2005) and that the district
is in compliance with the law. He further indicated that the district is running "lean" as
it pertains to the general fund balance reserves, but encouraged the board by saying that
administration has already come up with some long-term strategies to build up the
general fund over the next 3-5 years. Mr. Skiadas made little reference to the new
accounting laws, but pointed out some recommendations for savings in their
management letter. In conclusion, Mr. Skiadas indicated that there had been some
instances of purchases being made without encumbering the funds through a purchase
order and that most of these purchases were not being reimbursed by the district.
Mr. O'Connell, Board Member, asked about the unanticipated fund monies for BOCES.
President Whalen asked if other districts were experiencing the same crunch as
Binghamton to which Mr. Skiadas indicated that, although other districts are dealing
with the same issues pertaining to their fund balances, Binghamton is not struggling
under the food budget like other districts.

Continued . . .
B. Middle Years Program report by Michael O'Branski and Tracy Caezza. Mr.
O'Branski described the program and talked positively about the transformation of
classes and instruction at East Middle since implementing the Middle Years IB
Program.
Mrs. Caezza showed a brief powerpoint presentation which defined the features in the
areas of interaction. She also indicated that this program does align to the NYS
standards and described several ways that this program transcends traditional
curriculum and instruction.
Mr. O'Connell, Board Member, asked if West Middle would have the same opportunity
to implement this program to which Mrs. Cahill indicated that it would have the same
opportunity, pending finding a source of funding.
Mr. O'Branski dscribed the training that the staff has, and will be, participating in and
discussed the progress that East Middle has made since implementing this program.
C. Legislative Update by Joan Purtell. Vice President Purtell indicated that she
intends to meet with the Commissioner about the cost of testing and scoring associated
with the new requirements to administer tests to students in grades 3-8.
She also talked about President Bush's proposal to give "vouchers" to school districts
that are hosting hurricane victims. She indicated that these vouchers, if approved,
should not be used to help private schools who accept tuition for their students because
these are federal funds.
Mrs. Purtell expressed an interest in going through the "Fast Forward" program being
offered in Albany. The course is designed to improve your memory. If she goes, she
will report her findings to the board.
D. Proposed ByLaw Amendments and Resolutions. Mr. Hawley, Board Member, will
be attending the annual New York State School Boards Association convention in
Rochester and will vote on the proposed bylaw amendments and resolutions. The board
reviewed each resolution and amendment, and gave Mr. Hawley direction on how to
vote at the convention.
BOARD
INFORMATION
Noted.
President Whalen directed the board's attention to the correspondence from John
Paske's office regarding fiscal accountability workshops being offered locally in
January of 2006. These workshops will fulfill the financial training requirements for
new school board members, as well as those board members who are up for, and
considering, reelection in May 2006.
LEGAL
None.
Mr. Whalen indicated that there were some important changes in the requirements
pertaining to student board members. First, the student board member does not have to
be 18 years of age and, second, it does not have to be the student body class president.
He asked if the current student class president was interested in coming to the board
meetings, despite a hectic school schedule to which Mrs. Brown, District Clerk,
indicated to the board that Dr. Penna, Principal at BHS, had agreed to help coordinate a
meeting between her and the student class president. The purpose of the meeting is so
that Mrs. Brown can make the student feel welcome, understand her role at the
meetings, and answer any questions she has about board meeting procedures.
128
AGENDA ITEMS
FOR NEXT MEETING
A. Attendance and discipline efforts at the high school. (November or December)
The Board would like to hear reports on a quarterly basis.
B. Federal Aid programs and an explanation about unspent funds.
C. Strategies to build up General Fund balance.
D. Update on formation of the audit committee.
E. Update on the issue of mats for cheerleaders.
Mr. O'Connell, Board Member, indicated his concerns regarding students crossing at
the corner of Oak and Main Streets because the property on the corner that was sold by
the City will be undergoing some reconstruction. He is conerned that all that activity
on the corner will be distracting to motorists and create additional hazards for students
crossing the street.
In response, President Whalen recommended that someone from Central Office contact
the Police Department and/or the mayor's office to request assistance from the local
police. He also referred to a recent traffic study that was done on the number of
vehicles that pass through that intersection on a daily basis, that there is more activity in
this area than in any other part of the city on any given week day. He indicated that the
traffic study supports the need to have that area controlled by the Binghamton City
Police Department.
There was also some discussion about the safety of students who do not cross in the
designated cross walk and how the dangers are increased at the end of the day when the
buses are loading passengers and students are crossing in between the buses.
ADJOURN
Motion by Mrs. Hampton, seconded by Mrs. Purtell and unanimously carried that the
Regular Meeting be adjourned.
The Regular Meeting was adjourned at 8:53 p.m. by President Whalen.

LINDA LAYTON - Stafking
Mrs. Carol Oestrich, retiree, addressed the board regarding the lack of notice to
staff/retirees about the date of flu shots being changed. She suggested the district use
the media as an outlet to get messages out and stated that flu shots help keep staff /
retirees healthy and this should be welcomed by the district since these people are
covered under the district's health insurance.
Mr. O'Connell, Member, agreed that using the media would be a valuable resource.
Mr. Garbarino, Director of Health and Athletics, asked if the original notice was sent
out with the insurance bills to retirees and was told that it was. However, the date
changed with less than 24 hour's notice given to the district, therefore, the only recourse
would have been to use the media. Mrs. Gretz, Director of Personnel, said the district
will use the media as a resource should this happen again.
Mrs. Oestrich also addressed her concerns about lowering the temperature in the
buildings and reducing the lighting. She referred to the safety and health of the
students, staff and community who use the district school buildings. Some of her
specific concerns were about reducing the temperature in the buildings (dampness,
students wearing bulky jackets being a safety issue, varying temperatures) and reducing
the lighting (safety issue on staircases, hard for students with eye problems, including
senior citizens attending special events).
Mr. Scott Wade, PTA Council President, discussed a phone call he received from an
upset parent of a student at the high school who's child was "frisked" and "groped"
during a security check. There was some discussion about whether it was a random bag
check or whether every student was checked. Mr. Deinhardt will look into this right
away and asked Mr. Scott to forward the parent's information to him so that her
concerns could be addressed through administration.
President Whalen welcomed student board member, Kathryn Cavanaugh, to the
meeting.
SPECIAL REPORTS
A. Budget Update by Steve Deinhardt.
Mr. Deinhardt outlined the initiatives that have been put into action to reduce expenses
and increase savings for the 05-06 school year, including:
---Implementing expenditure freeze
---Verifying grant expenditures related to salary coded correctly
---Building appropriate increase in health services and tuition billing
---Building appropriate increases in all district building rentals
---Reduction of the lighting, lowering temperatures, removing personal appliances
---Not paying for diesel fuel when buses are not occupied
---Modifying winter athletic trips; planning same for this Spring.
B. Grant Funding by Mary Cahill.
Mrs. Cahill referred to a memo that went out in the board packet which outlined the
federal grants received, what the funds were used for and why some of the larger grants
still had funds remaining. She advised the board that the Central Business Office had
suggested hiring a grant coordinator who would write the grants, track expenses, file
applications and make sure that the monies were spent.
President Whalen asked what qualifications this individual would have and how the
grant coordinator would be paid to which Mrs. Cahill replied that, although the
qualifications - whether administrative or civil service - were still unclear at this point,
but that the salary would be paid for out of a grant, that the addition of a grant
coordinator would in no way touch the district's fund balance. Mr. O'Connell, Member,
cautioned that some grant coordinators negotiate their salary to be a percentage of
whatever grant money is received.
Mrs. Cahill shared her feelings that a district as large as Binghamton and with as many
grants as Binghamton receives really needs someone dedicated to managing the entire
grant process from application to modifications to monitoring expenses and making
sure the monies are spent appropriately. President Whalen agreed that the person
should have that combination of skill in order to manage the grants process.
C. Audit Committee by Brian Whalen.
This report was tabled until the next meeting so that further research could be done.
President Whalen did say that he, Mr. Hawley and Mr. O'Connell will sit on the audit
committee and requested Mr. Deinhardt find out the status of the Request For Proposal
(RFP) process from Mr. Harvey, Controller.
D. Cheerleading Mats by David Garbarino.
Mr. Garbarino, Director of Health and Athletics provided the history on the topic of
cheerleading mats, the course it has taken since becoming an issue, and what it means
to the Binghamton City School District. He discussed safety being the coaches top
priority, how mats are used during practice, that coaches attend safety clinics before
each season begins so that they learn the proper techniques for each stunt. He noted
that both coaches are 10 year veterans and that there have been no injuries in
competition for the past nine years.
144
SPECIAL REPORTS
Continued . . .
Mr. Garbarino outlined the dimensions of the mats, the cost of purchasing them and
storing them. He indicated that the cheerleaders would ultimately end up being
responsible for putting the mats together and taking them apart and that both actions
take a considerable amount of time (that it took Union Endicott cheerleaders 45 minutes
to set up their mats). He also pointed out that, with the size and weight of each mat,
there's more likelihood of someone getting hurt during the set up and removal processes
to which President Whalen agreed.
When Mr. Hawley asked if the routines would change depending on whether they use
the mats or not use the mats, Mr. Garbarino explained that requiring cheerleaders to use
the mats during competition would dramatically change what the athletes can and
cannot do, that all they would be able to do is dance routines, no stunts, and that the
program would lose athletes if these changes are made.
Mr. O'Connell, Member, said that its probably more likely that the "catchers" would get
hurt, rather than the person being "tossed" to which Mr. Garbarino agreed.
Mr. Deinhardt further mentioned that, in Binghamton, cheerleading is treated as a sport
and the participants are treated as athletes. He said that the coaches take extraordinary
efforts to ensure the safety of the cheerleaders during practice and in competition, that
the coaches possess the knowledge and skills necessary to manage the sport safely. He
also said that he gets more concerned about serious injuries when he sees a cheerleader
crossing the hard wood floor doing sommersaults.
Vice President Purtell asked who brings out the mats for the wrestling team and Mr.
Garbarino said that the wrestlers do.
The issue, Mr. Deinhardt, said could ultimately come down to a decision by the
superintendent in each district unless STAC makes mats a requirement.
Dr. Wozniak concluded the discussion on the mats by indicating that there are dangers
all around us and agreed with Mr. Garbarino that there is no conclusive evidence, one
way or the other, that using the mats will prevent all injuries. She will let the athletic
professionals do their job and help make a determination if/when the time comes
because, at some point in time, it could be out of the district's hands altogether and
come down to STAC requirements.

Mr. Hawley, Member, asked if the board could review the revisions to IDEA to
determine if district policies needed to be updated as well.
145
Mr. O'Connell, Member, asked about safety at Horace Mann and referred to a bus that
passes in front of the school around dismissal time. He wanted to know if the schedule
for that particular bus could be routed to a different street so that it does not pass in

REE MAGAZINES
IN A SCHOOL
SETTING
WHEREAS, smoking is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States
and, each day, more than 4,000 youth try smoking for the first time and another 2,000
youth become regular daily smokers; and
WHEREAS, the Surgeon General has concluded that tobacco advertising contributes to
youth smoking rates and an estimated 1/3 of adolescent experimentation with smoking
can be directly attributed to tobacco advertising and promotional activities; and
WHEREAS, in 2003, tobacco companies spent $15.1 billion to market cigarettes in the
United States and these marketing expenditures tend to overwhelm and counteract efforts
by school systems, government, and the medical community to decrease smoking rates,
particularly when advertisements are displayed in educational and health care settings;
and
WHEREAS, in the fall of 2003, the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG)
and four tobacco companies (Philip Morris, RJ Reynolds (Reynolds America), US
Smokeless Tobacco Company and Santa Fe Tobacco Company) reached an agreement to
eliminate tobacco advertising in the classroom program versions of Time, Newsweek,
US News, and World Report; and
WHEREAS, teality Check surveyed 233 school libraries across New York and found that
magazines carried in school libraries contained tobacco ads thus encouraging youth to
begin smoking; and
WHEREAS, school is a place where children and teenagers can learn and grow in a safe
and secure environment; and
WHEREAS, schools and school libraries should not be an outlet for the tobacco industry
to target youth and find replacement smokers; and
WHEREAS, in June of 2005, NAAG, tobacco companies, and magazine publishers
reached an agreement that eliminates all tobacco advertisement in Newsweek, Sports
Illustrated, People and Time going to schools including school libraries;
Binghamton City School District, Binghamton, New York, hereby expresses its
opposition to tobacco advertisements in magazines in the school setting, including school
libraries, and enthusiastically supports the tobacco advertisement free arrangement
reached between NAAG, the tobacco companies, and the publishers of Newsweek, Time,
Sports Illustrated, and People to eliminate tobacco advertising from editions of these four
(4) magazines that are sent into school settings, including school libraries; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, because there are still many magazines in school
libraries that contain tobacco advertisements, the Board of Education of the Binghamton
City School District, Binghamton, New York, supports future efforts of Reality Check
and the Attorney General to limit tobacco company access to youth by eliminating
tobacco advertising in all editions of all magazines in schools; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, because Ebony, Essence, Jet, Outdoor Life, Field and
Stream, and Popular Science are carried in so many school libraries, these magazines
should be included in the tobacco advertisement free arrangement immediately.

BOARD MEETING
DATES JANUARY AND
FEBRUARY
Regular Board of Education meeting scheduled for January 17, 2006, be and is hereby
rescheduled to January 24, 2006, at its regularly scheduled time (7:00 p.m.), as it is in the
best interests of the school district to do so; and
PRIVILEGE OF THE
Mr. Walter Gillette, concerned citizen from the East side, told the board about his
concerns over the use of the stadium for various events. He expressed his displeasure
over the level of noise, traffic coming into that area, and the trash left on the ground
after these events.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Regular Board of Education meeting scheduled
for February 21, 2006, be and is hereby rescheduled to February 28, 2006, at its regularly
scheduled time (7:00 p.m.), as it is in the best interests of the school district to do so.
President Whalen thanked him for bringing his concerns to the attention of the board
and expressed the district's desire to be courteous, responsible neighbors.
Mr. O'Connell, board member, also stated that Binghamton currently has the only
synthetic field which draws events to our facility, especially in the winter months. He
further stated that other schools will build their own synthetic fields and then athletic
events will be more easily "shared" among the other school districts.
Mr. Deinhardt also indicated that the district tries to remain sensitive to residents by
rotating the schedule as often as possible in an effort to cut down on the noise level and
lighting of the stadium.
SPECIAL REPORTS
A. EMPIRE ZONE RECONFIGURATION.
Margaret Scarinzi, Coordinator for the Broome County Empire Zones program,
explained the program. She said that this program will offer tax abatement on a
business's capital improvement project. This program was designed to spur
development in distressed areas in Binghamton. She explained that this is a local
benefit, that the program is precisely monitored, that business who are approved for this
program must perform by creating jobs, increasing revenue and bringing in business to
the City.
Ms. Scarinzi explained how this would benefit the school district. She said the district
would continue to receive school district taxes on the value of the property itself, but
would not see any increase in taxes on the capital improvement value until the 8th
year - after the abatement passes.
She also indicated that, although the local level has the authority to oversee each
business's operations, the state gave specific requirements on the reconfiguration of the
Empire Zones - that the properties must be contiguous.
Although the City of Binghamton will approve the reconfigured boundaries, the board
of education was asked to approve a resolution regarding the 485e tax abatement.
A public hearing will be noticed out.

B. ATTENDANCE UPDATE.
Robert Darcangelo, Director of Pupil Services, gave an update to the board on
attendance for October and November. He provided a hand-out which shows a turnover of students by grade level and by building. He explained that the district is
currently above 95%, but will probaby drop during December and January due to the
holidays and the cold weather.
He also indicated that students who leave to go to another district are counted as absent
until we receive notification that they are registered in another district.
They are contrating their efforts at the high school with the goal of getting kids to
school, thereby improving attendance and grades. There was some discussion
regarding transportation and distances factoring into the attendance drop.
Mr. Darcangelo also explained the state requirement regarding "ungraded" students in
special education who have IEPs, that they are not taking state mandated tests.
C. AUDIT COMMITTEE UPDATE (tabled from November 15, 2005)
President Whalen indicated that, since the board voted earlier in the evening on the
formation of the audit committee, it was now time for the Audit Committee to work
with the Central Business Office to get started on the Request For Proposals (RFP)
process and put an audit plan in place.

SPECIAL REPORTS
A. PRELIMINARY BUDGET DISCUSSIONS by Steve Deinhardt.
Mr. Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent for Administration, presented the preliminary
2006-2007 school district budget to the board. He gave an overview of how the
governor's state aid proposal will affect the district's budget and how state aid simply is
not keeping pace with school district pressures.
Mr. Deinhardt also explained that, of the recommended $700 million in Sound Basic
Education (SBE) Aid, little more than half ($375 million) that amount will be placed in
a reserve to be allocated, pursuant to a plan, to promote the provision of a sound basic
education in schools throughout the state.
B. UPDATE ON SMALL CITIES LAWSUIT by Joan Purtell.
Mrs. Purtell, Vice President of the Board, gave an overview of the Small Cities
Lawsuit. She said that the attorney for Small Cities, Robert Biggerstaff, is requesting to
argue the points on the Attorney General's Motion to Dismissal with the judge. She
further indicated that Binghamton's per 1,000 tax rate is the highest in New York State.
On February 6, she will be representing Small Cities in Albany at a joint meeting. She
will be providing feedback at this meeting on the governor's proposed budget and its
affect on the Binghamton City School District. She explained that Binghamton is a low
income, high needs district and it differs from the schools in New York City which are
high needs, high income. She closed by explaining that small city school districts have
to include building aid in their budget and, if you exceed your allocation, you have to
request additional aid.
C. DISCUSSION ON SCHOOL CALENDARS by Peggy J. Wozniak.
Dr. Wozniak, Superintendent, explained the rationale for how the school district
calendars are drafted. She indicated that the draft calendars are consistent with those of
other school districts across New York State.
Mr. O'Connell indicated that the calendars looked logical and asked whether students
would be penalized for observing legal holidays and whether they can make up classes,
schoolwork, etc. He further indicated that, having a week off in April is better for
students.
Mr. Hawley asked when the deadline is for feedback to the proposed calendars and
when the board would be expecting to adopt the school calendars. Dr. Wozniak
explained that only the 2006-2007 school calendar would be adopted by the board and
that this would probably take place in March or April as has been done in previous
years. She also explained that the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 calendars would remain in
draft while school districts observe how the changes affect their districts.
Mrs. Schwartz asked if state testing dates would be consistent. Dr. Wozniak said there
is no guarantee, but it should remain pretty consistent with previous years.

AGENDA ITEMS
FOR NEXT MEETING
Per a Resolution passed by the Board at the December meeting, the next Board of
Education meeting is February 28, 2006.
1. BOCES Administrative Budget. This information was handed out at the meeting.
2. School District Menu by Mark Bordeau.
3. Cable Television Studio at BHS by David Whalen from Time Warner Cable.
Mr. Hawley asked about school lunch menus and indicated that he was interested in
seeing more of a variety in foods, including fruits and vegetables, being offered to
students. Mr. Deinhardt indicated that Mr. Bordeau, Director of Food Services,
informed him recently that BOCES is currently working with a registered dietician and
that Binghamton will be able to take advantage of this service. Mrs. Kammerman
indicated her desire to hear about the soda machine issue.
Dr. Wozniak indicated that she had met recently with the Broome County Public Health
Director, David Garbarino and Dr. Garruto, Professor from Binghamton University,
regarding an obesity study. The study will be conducted in several local school
districts, including some Binghamton schools. She closed by indicating that the results
of the study would be shared.

PUBLIC HEARING
A public hearing was held to discuss authorizing an exemption from taxation and ad
valorem levies under Real Property Tax Law Section 485-e which provides an
exemption of capital improvements from taxation for residential buildings constructed,
altered or improved in an Empire Zone.
Margaret Scarinzi, Coordinator for the Empire Zones Project, was present to answer
questions. She stated that the 485-e law was adopted in 1996 and that there are about
50 owners (out of the approximate 155 businesses in the Empire Zones) who have
qualified and are taking advantage of this benefit.
She further explained how the tax abatement benefit would affect the collection of
school district taxes over a period of 7-10 years and that the exemption is only on
capital improvements. The owner would still be responsible for paying school district
taxes on the assessed value of the property, before the capital improvements were made.
She also explained that the assessor determines who is awarded the benefit, but that the
local level of the Empire Zones would be responsible for overseeing that the property
owner meets their projections. She explained that the key component for qualification
of this benefit is job creation and contributions to the economic development of the
community.

SPECIAL REPORTS
1.
CABLE TELEVISION STUDIO AT BHS.
Mr. David Whalen, Vice President of Public and Governmental Relations at Time
Warner Cable discussed the new television studio at the high school, which recently
received $50,000 worth of donated equipment from Time Warner's Binghamton
division. Mr. Whalen indicated that the studio will be used by students and staff for
educational purposes. Students interested in media arts, photo journalism, and other
classes will be able to get hands-on experience.
Mr. Whalen explained that Time Warner saw an opportunity to promote synergy
with the school district when the company decided to revamp its Vestal studio and
take some equipment off-line. Time Warner approached district administration
with the idea and they fell in love with it. He said it was the perfect opportunity to
make a generous contribution to the district while opening up a whole new world of
opportunities to its students.
President Whalen indicated that, in previous years, the district wanted to create a
radio station, but, because of fiscal constraints, was not able to do so. However, with
the donation of the equipment from Time Warner, the students will have greater
exposure to the media world. He thanked Time Warner for the donation and for
their collaborative efforts to increase the awareness and education of Binghamton's
students into the media forum. He asked if Time Warner had made any agreements
with the district in consideration of the donation and David Whalen emphatically
stated that the equipment and use was totally at the discretion of the school district
and its administration.
205
Continued . . .
Mrs. Margaret McGarry, Director of Fine Arts and coordinator of the high school's
Rod Serling School of Fine Arts, was also present at the meeting to answer questions.
She specifically thanked Mr. Whalen for Time Warner's very generous donation
and indicated that the studio will remain a K-12 educational facility and not open to
the community or general public. There was also discussion about when and how to
broadcast on local television channels for various projects including the Dollars for Scholars
fundraiser and Sounds of the Season. David Whalen indicated that Time Warner is willing
to work with the district on obtaining air time on a local public access channel, and has
offered their expertise to teach students how to use the equipment.
2. UPDATE ON PROGRESS IN THE BOARD GOAL TO IMPROVE HEALTH
AND WELLNESS FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF.
Mr. David Garbarino, Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics, handed
out a rough draft of a wellness policy on physical activity and nutrition which was
designed to increase student awareness about eating healthy and exercising regularly.
The Board of Education aims to provide an environment that protects children's
health, well-being and the ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical
activity. The policy will go through the Comprehensive Health Committee for
modifications and then be reviewed by the Policy Review Committee before being
adopted by the board. He also explained the obesity study which Binghamton
University students are conducted using students in the Binghamton City School
District. There was some discussion about sharing the results of the study with the
parents of the children who are eligible to participate.
President Whalen suggested making its pools accessible to the community. Mr.
Garbarino indicated that East Middle's pool is available for "free swim" and that this
is advertised through the Binghamton Parks and Recreation Dept. The other pools
also have rental users from time to time. President Whalen urged administration to
invite the community in to use these facilities so that they can see their tax dollars
are hard at work.
Mr. Mark Bordeau, Director of Food Services, introduced Ms. Molly Morgan,
Registered Dietician and consultant through BOCES, and together they talked about
the board's vision to improve student's health by taking steps to create menus that
offer healthy choices with a larger variety of foods to chose from. Mr. Bordeau
talked about the Give me 5 program. He was delighted to tell the board that they
have replaced the soda machines at the high school with juice and water, and that
the snack vending machines now sell baked chips. They also sell low-fat ice cream
and have introduced whole grains in their breads and doughs. Mr. Bordeau indicated
that the district receives white pasta for free, however, is pushing to receive whole
grain pasta at no charge instead.
Ms. Morgan was pleased to report the positive press about the district working with
her as a consultant dietician. She indicated that, although change does not happen
overnight, it will have to be a team effort in order to be successful. She gave a
glimpse into the plan to hold a health fair, introduce a cafeteria to classroom
connection in order to educate students on healthy eating habits, the idea to do
morning nutrition announcements, recipe contests and more in order to engage the
students.
President Whalen thanked the team for sharing the board's vision. Dr. Wozniak
emphasized by stating that this board is enlightened and understands the correlation
between health and wellness to curriculum and scores.
206
3. BOCES ADMINISTRATIVE 06-07 BUDGET.
Dr. Joseph Busch, District Superintendent for the BT BOCES, discussed the BOCES'
goal to promote collaboration with schools and the community by offering special
programs, including the full time career and technical high school for students who
were unsuccessful in their home school districts. He also pointed out that BOCES
consistently looks for efficiencies by consolidating services. He also talked about the
pilot program to expand distance learning capabilities by offering voice over I.P. and
developing the Leadership Institute which educates and trains the leaders of tomorrow.
Mr. Al Buyck, Chief Operating Office of the BT BOCES, gave an overview of the
administrative budget. He reviewed expenses, revenues and charges to the district and
discussed projections for 06-07 and what changes they have made to cut costs and
increase revenues to take the burden off component school districts.
President Whalen voiced his concerns about bringing in new clients to serve and how
expanding facilities to take on additional staff to support new clients instead of making
existing facilities more accessible might reflect in billings to districts that are already
strapped. He expressed our district's support of the BOCES and its contributions,
however, he cautioned that growth could make services unaffordable for some districts.
There was some discussion about sharing of athletic stadiums between districts instead
of districts draining the local community for the purchase of new facilities.
4. 1ST READING OF NEW POLICIES:
A. Credit Card Usage #3170
B. District Cell Phone Issuance and Use #3180
President Whalen explained that these policies would have a 2nd reading at the next
meeting in March and then a 3rd reading at the meeting in April with a resolution to
adopt the policies at that time.

certificates. Mr. Gazda thanked the parents for their continued support and indicated
that the district might have some future math teachers in their midst.
Dr. Wozniak also thanked the students for their hard work and for the parents' support.
She said that these students could be role models to younger students who will see that

B. SWIM.
Mr. David Garbarino, Director of Health, Athletics and Physical Education, introduced
the swim team and coaches. He reminded everyone that the Binghamton team had just

SPECIAL REPORTS
1. UPDATE ON GRADUATION RATES AND ATTENDANCE.
Mr. Robert Darcangelo, Director of Pupil Services, gave an overview of student
attendance districtwide from September 2005 through the end of January 2006.
Binghamton has a steady rate of mobility with students moving in and moving out of
the district. He handed out some enrollment comparisons broken down by school, by
grade and by subgroups. There were some questions regarding students who arrive late
to school and how those absences are factored in. Mr. Darcangelo indicated that the
district works with the parents at all levels of attendance and that, when policies and
procedures are not adhered to, the district is forced to use the PINS process to get kids
back into school.

OTHERS ABSENT Mr. Steven G. Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent for
Administration
Dr. Wozniak and Mrs. Cahill opened up the discussion by talking
about the proposed changes to the high school program for the
2006-2007 school year.
First, Dr. Wozniak expressed her gratitude for the great feedback
shared by parents at the meeting at Binghamton High School on
March 29, 2006. She said that all the parents who shared their
concerns with the proposed changes were not just passionate about
their own children's achievement, but those of all students in the
district.
Dr. Wozniak discussed the driving force being why the changes
were proposed, that being accountability, the SINI status at the
high school and the graduation rate.
She talked about how accountability is calculated differently than it
was a few years ago and that the district has high expectations for
all students.
224
The proposed changes were not meant to disadvantage overachieving students, but to provide equity and access for all students
to these valuable programs. However, even giving students the
opportunity to challenge each other in these accelerated programs,
it would be hard for teachers to raise all their students to an
accelerated level while, at the same time, continue to meet the
needs and still challenge the over-achievers.
After hearing parents' concerns, administration decided to re-think
the proposed changes and even remove one of the components
pertaining to the honors/enrichment program.
Mrs. Cahill expressed her gratitude for the parents' willingness to
volunteer on task forces to help the district with these important
educational and fiscal issues. The administration feels this will
establish a better rapport with parents and allow for more open
communication and feedback.
Other discussions included classroom size, suggestions for Saturday
School, AP classes offered in 10th grade, more staff development,
study halls, etc.
Dr. Wozniak pointed out that several board members were at the
parent meeting on March 29, 2006 and heard the same concerns.
President Whalen said that it is a board goal to improve the
graduation rates to meet AYP and get us off the SINI list. He
further said that the board and administration are all concerned
with someone else coming in to run the school district and, in order
to see that this does not happen, we have to take every action
necessary. He further indicated that the district does not want its
high achievers to get bored. We want them to come to class. But he
also said that their success has a lot to do with instruction and who
is motivating them. He believes in differentiated instruction and
the fact that you cannot "paint" all kids with the same brush. It is a
challenge for staff development and the district needs to allow
teachers time for differentiated instruction.
He further indicated that all 3 of his children were IB students. It is
a rigorous program that helped them out in college. It did not teach
them "what to learn", but "how to learn".
We need to bring all student achievement up and continue to
challenge the high-achieving students as well as those in the middle
of the pack, while watching those who need to improve.
225
Dr. Wozniak reassured parents that no programs are scheduled to
be eliminated, just classes with low enrollment. Dr. Penna
indicated that they are working up the numbers to find out which
classes will be eliminated due to low enrollment, but he also noted
that some of these classes are non-Regents courses; some are 90day courses like humanities classes, occupational education and
technology. Currently, the high school has 180 course offerings,
which is double, and even triple, the size of other school districts.
Administration is always concerned with sustaining these programs
and parent support is always appreciated.
President Whalen indicated that pre-requisite courses should not
be eliminated if it means that a student cannot move on. In other
words, we must be sensitive not to eliminate courses for those
opportunities that already exist and to keep on our radar not to
eliminate classes that would allow a student to achieve full IB
diploma.
Mrs. Cahill indicated that one of the components of course selection
is fiscal. The district wants to offer a depth of courses, but small
city schools have much bigger challenges. Mrs. Purtell, Vice
President of the Board of Education, is our legislative liaison. She is
always pushing our legislators and lobbying for more money for
small city school districts such as Binghamton.
Mr. O'Connell mentioned that the enrichment classes have a real
dynamic between students and teachers. Not only that, but student
to student. There is competition between students. To eliminate
that component is not good. Students can push one another, drive
each other, just like in sports. He feels it is important for them not
to lose that student to student driving force.
Dr. Wozniak said she heard that argument compellingly at the
parent meeting.
Mr. Hawley indicated his concern about urgency, but that the
district also needs to make these decisions carefully, a little at a
time, and with much preparation and foresight.
Mrs. Purtell pointed out the packet of information from the NYS
Small Cities School District Association on the "did you know"
campaign. Small Cities are chronically under-funded and overtaxed. Anyone who wants to help lobby is encouraged.
The NCLB act is not awful; however, they are measurements we
have to live by, even if they are strict. Each child should have their
goals.
226
PRIVILEGE OF
THE FLOOR
Chris Papastrat, parent, thanked Dr. Wozniak and Dr. Penna for
meeting with the parents. He was encouraged that they acted so
quickly on their suggestions and concerns. He agreed with Mr.
O'Connell that these kids compete with each other on their own
level. He indicated his willingness to work with the district on a
task force.
Pete Yeager, parent, also thanked Dr. Wozniak and Dr. Penna for
meeting with the parents. He said that it is critically important for
parents to have an impact. He was impressed that opinions were
listened to. Parents are willing to help the whole school, so long as
their students continue to benefit from the accelerated path. He
suggested student to student tutoring. President Whalen agreed
and indicated that lower achievers would benefit from student to
student tutoring. The lower achievers would have a model to reflect
on and be able to set their own expectations. He also said that this
has to be a partnership with parents and the community.
Kathy Eggleston, parent, said it was a big decision for her to move
her kids from St. Johns to Binghamton, but she did so because of
the educational opportunities. She knows Binghamton is a great
school. She questioned whether kids will still be able to take the
courses that they originally wanted to, before the proposed changes.
Dr. Penna said that this will be fixed and parents will receive new
course selections to sign off on.
Dr. Wozniak indicated that the students are the reason we're here
and the district will be holding student focus groups to get even
more feedback.
Another parent questioned whether the IB program would be
offered in the middle schools. Mrs. Cahill said that East already has
the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and that the district is looking
to infuse this at the 9th and 10th grade level. The district received a
grant to fund this and teachers are very excited. Two years in the
application process with accreditation in the fall. The district is
looking to do the same at West Middle. MYP is a way to challenge
the students; however, it takes several years to be fully
implemented.
John Solak, concerned citizen, expressed his displeasure over NCLB
and said he does not see anything bad about the state taking over
the reigns of the district. He criticized board members for not
coming to meetings and said the district was "not paying attention"
to the "poor curriculum". He called for the cessation of micromanaging teachers and said that the district needs to "throw out the
227
crazy stuff" like the masks for First Night, etc. He says the school
district should go back to the basics.
Kelly Hampton, parent and employee, said that this was a wake-up
call to parents to get involved. She also said that, during her
employment at the middle school this year, she saw how very little
parental involvement there is. She said that, sometimes, we forget
that we need to be involved.
Will Eggleston, student, thanked Dr. Wozniak and Dr. Penna for
supporting the honors and enrichment programs. He wants the
district to work closely to help students at all levels.
James Foyt, student, supports the decision to keep the programs
the way they are. He said that, sooner or later, disruptive students
will be "weeded out", leaving behind the students who want to be
there. He said that there are pros and cons to eliminating study
halls. He believes we need to fix it to keep kids in school. Many
students do not realize that physical education is very important to
graduation and it is one of the easiest classes, yet kids skip it all the
time. President Whalen said that this is pet peeve of the Board that
students fail to graduate because they fail gym class and that this
has been on the board's radar for many years.
John Rasmussen, parent, said that this should not have graduated
to this extreme, but agreed that we do lose focus and have to offer
something so that no one gets left behind.
Steve Garlock, concerned citizen, said that students are paying for
the school district's failures. He called the administration stewards
of public trust. He further said that the board only listens when
people advocate and tell them what they are doing wrong. He
claims that the failure is in the curriculum and in the priorities of
the board and administration. He claims that the school district
places the blame on the state and NCLB, yet the district has in
excess of $72M for kids' education. He called upon the board to
take a position on moving the Department of Social Services office
away from the high school. He also criticized the district's CD-ROM
marketing campaign.
Douglas Drazen, attorney, called upon the board to pass a
resolution to move the Social Services office from Main Street. He
said that our resolution could mirror the resolution that city council
passed and believes it is important for the district to send the
message that we value education.
228
Another student thanked administrators for changing their mind
about the change in programming. She also indicated that she did
not even know that the Social Services office was across the street
from the high school. She does not see the DSS office location as an
issue.
Another parent moved to Binghamton from the state of Utah. She
said that the DSS building was a strong negative to moving to
Binghamton.
Mike Dunlap, parent, thanked administration for listening to them.
He said that the kids are what we are fighting for. He did say that
we need to clean up the school where student language (swearing)
is concerned, study halls for those kids with nothing to do who are
taking the easy way out, and provide more structure. He says there
has to be a way to do it. He realizes that Binghamton is a tough
school and would like to see the DSS office moved.
Mr. O'Connell, board member, said that some kids do not think
anyone cares. These kids need student to student mentoring
because, sometimes, home life can affect their success.
ADJOURN
There being no further business, President Whalen thanked
everyone for coming, including Dr. Penna and his administrative
team from the high school. He said that, for some, it was the first
opportunity to look at the plan and he cautioned parents to
continue to pay close attention. He told administration to
communicate with parents what options are available so that their
kids get the courses that they want and need.
Motion by Mrs. Purtell, seconded by Mr. O'Connell and
unanimously carried that the Special Meeting be adjourned. The
Special Meeting was adjourned at 7:48 p.m. by President Whalen.

FINANCIAL REPORT
UNFINISHED
BUSINESS
A. 2006-2007 BUDGET PRESENTATION. Mr. Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent
for Administration, presented the preliminary 2006-2007 school district budget to the
board. He reviewed the district's expenditures and revenues and touched on the
district's goals to be fiscally responsible and strategic. He talked about the tax levy
increase and how, even though there is a small increase, it has been decreasing
significantly over the past 3 years, which is good news for the tax payers.
Several board members had questions regarding Excel Aid, which is meant to be used
for capital improvements. Such questions include how to spend this allocated money
and how to report the expenditures.
Mr. Deinhardt said that, although there are many questions about this particular
allocation of aid and the district is still waiting for answers, he recommended the
district start by taking care of the priorities as outlined in the Building Condition
Survey.

Douglas Drazen, local attorney, addressed the board about the location of the DSS
building which, currently, is across the street from the Binghamton High School. He
continues to ask the board to reconsider approving a resolution, similar to what the City
did, to have the DSS offices moved away from its current location.
Mr. Drazen insisted that the board of education's voice should be heard; that the board
should have an opinion; that there are better options available to the community, like
moving the public library to the DSS office location; that something a little more
"acceptable" would be strategic for marketing purposes; that moving the DSS offices
would send the appropriate message to folks looking to move into the area.
President Whalen indicated that the board had previously taken this matter into
consideration and the board has determined that they have no position on this issue
because it is not school district business.
SPECIAL REPORTS
1. SEARCH INSTITUTE PROJECT.
Professor David Sloan Wilson from Binghamton University gave a brief overview of
the Search Institute's Project on developmental assets in the Binghamton City School
District and its community. He stated that the project has a focus on positive values,
not negative. It is a partnership with the community and in collaberation with Search
Institute, Binghamton City Schools and Binghamton University. Students in grades 612 will participate in a survey to examine the range of developmental assets and
identify ways to improve them. Dr. Wilson showed how the survey would generate an
environmental "map" of sorts.
The target is to administer the survey in May 2006 to gather the data which will be put
into the database and, subsequently, generate this developmental asset "map".
The project utilizes GIS technology which is a very exciting tool. Binghamton
University will work with the district to interpret the data from the survey, which
should take about 10 minutes to complete and will ensure complete anonymity.
2. CHALLENGE PROGRAM UPDATE.
Laura Lamash, Challenge Coordinator, introduced the Challenge Teachers - Lisa
Rieger, Lissa Connelly, Suzie Kitchen and Dawn Young (unable to attend).
Ms. Lamash gave a brief overview of the scope of work that the Challenge Teachers
face on a daily basis. This group of 5 teachers work with approximately 4,000 students
in 200 classrooms throughout the elementary and middle schools (grades K-8).
The focus of the Challenge Program is on curriculum integration, to build relationships,
understanding, create meaning and beauty. It is "object-based learning" that creates
powerful connections for participating students. The approach of curriculum
integration is to use the arts, technology, community resources such as Roberson,
Kopernik, Discovery Center, etc., and then collaborate with teachers to give them
support.
Mrs. Kitchen is charged with "thematic units". She brought out "Roamer Turtle" which
is used in grades K-1 and teaches children computer programming and geometry.
Mrs. Rieger's area of expertise is in creating something beautiful. Her students created
story cloths that tell the past, present and future. These are hand sewn by the students
in grade 2.
Students in grade 3 studied the "powers of ten" by looking at the world from different
perspectives.
Mrs. Connelly's students studied cultural revolution by learning about African
Americans who contributed to society. The Harlem Rennaisance was an explosion of
racial pride which is a huge part of our history. The students made a movie about Duke
Ellington's ties, learned about the importance of tolerance and respect through Daniel's
Story, fell in love with the music "Take the A Train" and learned about connectedness
and taking ownership.
Students also created umbrellas which represent "protection" from life's storms. These
will be donated to a worthy cause.

253
Continued . . .
Mrs. Lamash showed a Twilight Zone video entitled "Be careful what you ask for".
The format followed the theme of the Alfred Hitchcock mysteries and even had its own
ironic twist. The students wrote the script and learned about literary concepts through
visual media.
In the middle schools, the students learn how to integration curriculum through book
talks and collaborating on the creation of videos and plays. Mrs. Young works with the
students in this arena.

SCHOOL BUDGET
The Public Hearing on the 2006-2007 School Budget began at 7:00 p.m. with Board
Members Mr. Whalen, Mrs. Hampton, Mr. Hawley, Mrs. Kammerman, Mr. O'Connell
and Mrs. Schwartz in attendance. Mrs. Purtell was absent.
Mr. Steven Deinhardt, Assistant Superintendent for Administration presented the 200607 School Budget that will go before the voters on May 16, 2006. He reviewed the
district's expenditures and revenues and reiterated the district's goals to be fiscally
responsible and strategic to prepare for the future. He touched on the tax levy increase
and how it has been decreasing over the past 3 years.
Mr. Deinhardt again talked about the category of Excel Aid, which is meant to be used
for capital improvements. There are still many questions about this allocation of aid
and the district awaits answers.
Mrs. Carol Oestrich asked if the district still receives federal aid. Mr. Deinhardt
commented that, although the district is receiving grant funding, it has lost over
$300,000 in the last two years. Dr. Wozniak also stressed that this is a loss to the state
when regions need money and those funds go to higher needs districts. Generally, less
money is being allocated and the district is not considered to be in as much need as
other urban areas, like New York City.
Mr. Milan Brutvan asked how word goes out to the public regarding the school budget.
Mr. Deinhardt indicated that the district was mailing a newsletter to all registered voters
which contains information about the school budget as well as information on the board
candidates. Mrs. Brown, District Clerk, also mentioned that a legal notice is advertised
in the Press & Sun Bulletin four (4) times in accordance with Education Law. She
further explained that the school district website also contains information about the
election date, polling hours and polling locations.

PRIVILEGE OF THE
1. Mrs. Theresa Palleschi, parent, addressed the board over her concerns regarding
the timing of the senior prom and SATs being held the next day. Her daughter will be
attending the senior prom and taking the SATs the next day. She feels this was not
planned very well.
Ms. Cavanaugh, student board member, suggested that students planning to take the
SATs should use common sense and get home at a decent hour and not stay out all
night. She also recommended her daughter speak with her guidance counselor and get
in touch with the ladies in the College Connection office.
Mrs. Schwartz, Member, indicated that the SATs are offered more than once each year
and that the school district does not schedule these, the Regents office does. She also
indicated that the prom date gets picked a year in advance.
President Whalen further stated that the SATs are scheduled at the high school because
it can accommodate a large group of students. Students come from other districts as
well. He also indicated that, scheduling the prom a year in advance is important
because of all the planning involved, including securing a location for the dance.
Mrs. Palleschi expressed her concerns on how communications are sent home to
parents.
Dr. Wozniak said that the district works to continually improve communication with
parents.
2. Mrs. Hughes, parent, expressed her concerns regarding a book her son was reading
for his IB English class. She feels the book is inappropriate in that it contains graphic
explanations that are too mature for her son. She refused to allow her son to continue
reading it. She expressed her concerns about the book to BHS administration. She also
spoke with her son's teacher who disagreed with her concerns. She feels her son was
subsequently humiliated in class and has since decided to home school him.
There was some discussion about her meeting with the Director of Curriculum and
several English teachers. She is waiting to speak with Dr. Penna.
Dr. Wozniak indicated that she was made aware of the situation and directed
appropriate high school administration to meet with her to address her concerns.
Administration chose to remove the book and will be adopting a better policy to prevent
books which might be considered inappropriate or "mature" from being used in the
future.

There was some discussion about getting an update on Excel Aid. Dr. Wozniak
indicated that the district would probably not hear anything until the fall and that the
board would be updated at that time.
Dr. Wozniak addressed the board regarding the date of the regular July board meeting
which is scheduled for the 18th. The District Clerk will be in Albany attending the
District Clerk conference for her 3rd and final year and the board meeting date and the
conference dates conflict with each other.
Dr. Wozniak asked the board if they would like to change the date of the regular July
board meeting to the week prior or whether the board preferred to keep the regular July
meeting date and simply appoint a District Clerk Pro Tem to take the notes. The board
decided to keep the regularly scheduled date and appoint a District Clerk Pro Tem.
President Whalen reminded the board to be aware of the events going on around the
district and try to make appearances wherever possible.

FLOOR
of Education does and hereby appropriates unanticipated interest earnings revenue from
account code A980-240100 into the General Fund budget code A9060-860 in the amount
of $400,000.
No one wished to address the board on school district business.
SPECIAL REPORTS
A. Parent Involvement by Dr. Wozniak.
Dr. Wozniak showed a Powerpoint Presentation and discussed some very important
questions about what ways parents are presently involved in our district, what the
profile is of the parents who are most involved, as well as the least involved. She
talked about the barriers and issues that keep parents from getting involved and talked
about the requirements needed in a school district between parents and schools.
Mrs. Hampton brought up that we need to engage parents by asking them how they
want to be involved and not just tell them what we think their involvement should be.
Some of the discussion surrounding this issue was that parents are too busy and that the
level of involvement at each school is different. It was also noted that parental
involvement is not necessarily being at the school, but helping their children at home
and getting their children to school. These are ways parents are helping.
Dr. Wozniak indicated that she would form several small groups to survey parents for
improvement suggestions and even hold these meetings out in the community. She
concluded her presentation by saying that the Binghamton City School District has
incredible kids.
BOARD
INFORMATION
President Whalen reminded the board that the reorganization meeting would be held on
July 5, 2006, at which time, members would vote on the office of President and Vice
President of the board. He asked for anyone interested in these positions to let others
know.
Mr. Hawley indicated he would be interested in serving as President of the Board. Mrs.
Schwartz said she would be interested in serving as Vice President of the Board if Mrs.
Purtell wished not to. Mrs. Purtell would like to be Vice President.
President Whalen concluded by saying that Binghamton is fortunate that it has a
cohesive board. He reminded the board that committee member assignments also
needed to be made as well as doing a board self-evaluation.
Mr. O'Connell asked when the board retreat would be and Dr. Wozniak indicated that
the board would have some dates to decide on by the July 5th reorganization meeting.
LEGAL
None.
AGENDA ITEMS
FOR NEXT MEETING
1. Parent Involvement Plan by Dr. Wozniak.
Dr. Wozniak will ask Tonia Thompson to present the board with some information on
the Reading 1st Grant at an upcoming meeting, possibly August.
Mrs. Kammerman indicated that she would be interested in seeing more calendars that
observe cultural and religious holidays.
