WHEREAS, each such refunding will individually result in present value savings in debt service as required by Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE TRUMANSBURG CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, NEW YORK (by the favorable vote of at least two-thirds of all the members of said Board of Education) AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. For the object or purpose of refunding a portion of the $5,425,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds, including providing moneys which, together with the interest earned from the investment of certain of the proceeds of the refunding bonds herein authorized shall be sufficient to pay; (i) the principal amount of the Refunded Bonds; (ii) the aggregate amount of unmatured interest payable on the Refunded Bonds to and including the maturity dates thereof or the date on which the Refunded Bonds which are callable are to be redeemed prior to their respective maturities in accordance with the Refunding Financial Plan, as hereinafter defined; (iii) the costs and expenses incidental to the issuance of refunding bonds herein authorized, if any that are not to be paid from current funds available therefor, including, without limitation, the development of the Refunding Financial Plan, compensation to the Underwriter, as hereinafter defined, costs and expenses of executing and performing the terms and conditions of the Escrow Contract, as hereinafter defined, and fees and charges of the Escrow Holder, as hereinafter mentioned; (iv) the redemption premium, if any, to be paid on the Refunded Bonds which are to be called prior to their respective maturities, if any; and (v) the premium or premiums for a policy or policies of municipal bond insurance or cost or costs of other credit enhancement facility or facilities for the refunding bonds herein authorized, or any portion thereof, there are hereby authorized to be issued not exceeding $4,100,000 par amount of refunding serial bonds of the Trumansburg Central School District (the “School District”) pursuant to the provisions of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law (the “Refunding Bonds”), plus an amount of original issue premium sufficient to effectuate the refunding financial plan, it being anticipated that the par amount of Refunding Bonds actually to be issued will be approximately $3,525,000, with a net premium amount of $563,667.55, as provided in Section 4 hereof. The Refunding Bonds described herein are hereby authorized to be consolidated for purposes of sale in one or more refunding serial bond issues. The Refunding Bonds shall each be designated substantially “SCHOOL DISTRICT REFUNDING (SERIAL) BOND” together with such series designation and year as is appropriate on the date of sale thereof, shall be of the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (except for any odd denominations, if necessary) not exceeding the principal amount of each respective maturity, shall be dated on such dates, and shall mature annually on such dates in such years, bearing interest semi-annually on such dates, as the rate or rates of interest per annum, as may be necessary to sell the same, all as shall be determined by the President of the Board of Education, or by the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, pursuant to Section 4 hereof. It is hereby further determined that (a) such Refunding Bonds may be issued in series, (b) such Refunding Bonds may be sold at a discount in the manner authorized by paragraph a of Section 57.00 of the Local Finance Law pursuant to subdivision 2 of paragraph (f) of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, and (c) such Refunding Bonds may be issued as a single consolidated issue. It is hereby further determined that such Refunding Bonds may be issued to refund all, or any portion of, the Refunded Bonds, subject to the limitation hereinafter described in Section 10 hereof relating to approval by the State Comptroller.


PAGE 6 OF 12

Section 2. The Refunding Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity upon such terms as the President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, shall prescribe, which terms shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 53.00 (b) of the Local Finance Law. If less than all of the Refunding Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed, the particular refunding bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the School District by lot in any customary manner of selection as determined by the President of the Board of Education. Notice of such call for redemption shall be given by mailing such notice to the registered owners not less than thirty (30) days prior to such date and as otherwise provided in Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-23856, as the same may be amended from time to time. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the bonds so called for redemption shall, on the date for redemption set forth in such call for redemption, become due and payable, together with interest to such redemption date, and interest shall cease to be paid thereon after such redemption date. The Refunding Bonds shall be issued in registered form and shall not be registrable to bearer or convertible into bearer coupon form. In the event said Refunding Bonds are issued in non-certificated form, such bonds, when issued, shall be initially issued in registered form in denominations such that one bond shall be issued for each maturity of bonds and shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), which will act as securities depository for the bonds in accordance with the book-entry-only system of DTC. In the event that either DTC shall discontinue the book-entry-only system, or the School District shall terminate its participation in such book-entry-only system, such bonds shall thereafter be issued in certificated form of the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof (except for any odd denominations, if necessary) not exceeding the principal amount of each respective maturity. In the case of non-certificated Refunding Bonds, principal of and interest on the bonds shall be payable by check or draft mailed by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined) to the Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, or to its nominee, Cede & Co., while the bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co. in accordance with such book-entry-only system. Principal shall only be payable upon surrender of the bonds at the principal corporate trust office of such Fiscal Agent (or at the office of the School District Clerk as Fiscal Agent as hereinafter provided). In the event said Refunding Bonds are issued in certificated form, principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be payable by check or draft mailed by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined) to the registered owners of the Refunding Bonds as shown on the registration books of the School District maintained by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined), as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month or last business day of the calendar month preceding each interest payment date as appropriate and as provided in a certificate of the President of the Board of Education providing for the details of the Refunding Bonds. Principal shall only be payable upon surrender of bonds at the principal corporate trust office of a bank or trust company or banks or trust companies located or authorized to do business in the State of New York, as shall hereafter be designated by the President of the Board of Education, as fiscal agent of the School District for the Refunding Bonds (collectively, the “Fiscal Agent”). Refunding Bonds in certificated form may be transferred or exchanged at any time prior to maturity at the principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent for bonds of the same maturity of any authorized denomination or denominations in the same aggregate principal amount. Principal and interest on the Refunding Bonds will be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. The President of the Board of Education, as chief fiscal officer of the School District, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, is hereby authorized and directed to enter into an agreement or agreements containing such terms and conditions as he shall deem proper with the Fiscal Agent, for the purpose of having such bank or


PAGE 7 OF 12

trust company or banks or trust companies act in connection with the Refunding Bonds as the Fiscal Agent for said School District, to perform the services described in Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, and to execute such agreement or agreements on behalf of the School District, regardless of whether the Refunding Bonds are initially issued in certificated or non-certificated form; provided, however, that the President or Vice President of the Board of Education is also hereby authorized to name the School District Clerk as the Fiscal Agent in connection with the Refunding Bonds if said Refunding Bonds are issued in non-certificated form. The President of the Board of Education is hereby further delegated all powers of this Board of Education with respect to agreements for credit enhancement, derived from and pursuant to Section 168.00 of the Local Finance Law, for said Refunding Bonds, including, but not limited to the determination of the provider of such credit enhancement facility or facilities and the terms and contents of any agreement or agreements related thereto. The Refunding Bonds shall be executed in the name of the School District by the manual or facsimile signature of the President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, and a facsimile of its corporate seal shall be imprinted thereon. In the event of facsimile signature, the Refunding Bonds shall be authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer or employee of the Fiscal Agent. The Refunding Bonds shall contain the recital required by subdivision 4 of paragraph (j) of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law and the recital of validity clause provided for in Section 52.00 of the Local Finance Law and shall otherwise be in such form and contain such recitals, in addition to those required by Section 51.00 of the Local Finance Law, as the President of the Board of Education shall determine. It is hereby determined that it is to the financial advantage of the School District not to impose and collect from registered owners of the Refunding Bonds any charges for mailing, shipping and insuring bonds transferred or exchanged by the Fiscal Agent, and, accordingly, pursuant to paragraph e of Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, no such charges shall be so collected by the Fiscal Agent. Section 3. It is hereby determined that: (a) the maximum amount of the Refunding Bonds authorized to be issued pursuant to this resolution does not exceed the limitation imposed by subdivision 1 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law; (b) the maximum period of probable usefulness permitted by law at the time of the issuance of the Refunded Bonds for the object or purpose for which the Refunded Bonds were issued is 30 years, pursuant to Subdivision 97 of paragraph a. of Section 11.00 of the Local Finance Law; provided, however, to the extent permitted by existing law, the period of probable usefulness in each such case is hereby determined to be thirty (30) years, pursuant to subdivision 97 of paragraph a. of Section 11.00 of the Local Finance Law, with respect to each underlying series or purpose, computed from the date of the first obligations issued therefor; and (c) the estimated present value of the total debt service savings anticipated as a result of the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, computed in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 2 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, with regard to each of the Refunded Bonds subject to such requirements, if any, is as shown in the Refunding Financial Plan described in Section 4 hereof. Section 4. The proposed financial plan for the refunding authorized by this resolution was prepared for the School District at the request of its Financial Advisor, Bernard P. Donegan, Inc., and is hereby accepted and approved (the “Refunding Financial Plan”), which financial plan shows the sources and amounts of all moneys required to accomplish such refunding, and, to the extent required by the Local Finance Law, the estimated present value of the total debt service savings, and the basis for the computation of the aforesaid estimated present value of total debt service savings, as set forth in the Exhibit attached hereto and made a part of this resolution. The President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, is hereby authorized to approve all details of the Refunding Financial


PAGE 8 OF 12

Plan not contained herein. The Refunding Financial Plan has been prepared based upon the assumption that the Refunding Bonds will be issued in a single series to refund all of the Refunded Bonds and that the Refunding Bonds will mature, be of such terms, and bear interest as set forth in said Refunding Financial Plan. This Board of Education recognizes that the Refunding Bonds may be issued in series, and for only one or more of the Refunded Bonds, or portions thereof, that the amount of the Refunding Bonds, maturities, terms, interest rate or rates borne by the Refunding Bonds and provisions for redemption thereof prior to maturity, if applicable, will most probably be different from such assumptions and that the Refunding Financial Plan will also most probably be different from that attached hereto. The President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, is hereby authorized and directed to determine which of the Refunded Bonds will be refunded and at what time, the amount of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, the maturities and terms thereof, the provisions relating to the redemption of Refunding Bonds prior to maturity, if any, whether the Refunding Bonds will be insured by a policy or policies of municipal bond insurance or otherwise enhanced by a credit enhancement facility or facilities, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be sold at a discount in the manner authorized by paragraph c of Section 57.00 of the Local Finance Law, and the rate or rates of interest to be borne thereby, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be issued having substantially level or declining annual debt service and all matters related thereto, and to prepare, or cause to be provided, a final Refunding Financial Plan and, in accordance herewith, all powers in connection therewith are hereby delegated to the President of the Board of Education, or to the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, provided that the terms of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, including the rate or rates of interest borne thereby, shall comply with the requirements of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. The President or Vice President of the Board of Education shall file a copy of his or her certificate determining the details of the Refunding Bonds and the final Refunding Financial Plan with the District Clerk within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as herein provided. Section 5. The President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, is hereby authorized and directed to enter into an escrow contract or contracts (collectively, the “Escrow Contract”) with a bank or trust company or banks or trust companies located and authorized to do business in this State as he or she shall designate (collectively, the “Escrow Holder”) for the purpose of having the Escrow Holder act, in connection with the Refunding Bonds, as the escrow holder to perform the services described in section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. Section 6. The faith and credit of said Trumansburg Central School District, New York, are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same respectively become due and payable. An annual appropriation shall be made in each year sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such obligations becoming due and payable in such year. There shall be annually levied on all the taxable real property within said School District a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Refunding Bonds as the same become due and payable. Section 7. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, including the premium, if any, but excluding accrued interest thereon, shall immediately upon receipt thereof be placed in escrow with the Escrow Holder. Accrued interest on the Bonds, if any, shall be paid to the School District to be expended to pay interest on the Refunding Bonds. Such proceeds as are deposited in the escrow deposit fund to be created and established pursuant to the Escrow Contract, whether in the form of cash or investments, or both, inclusive of any interest earned from the investment thereof, shall be irrevocably committed and pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds in accordance with Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, and the holders from time to time of the Refunded Bonds shall have a lien upon such moneys held by the Escrow Holder. Such pledge and lien shall become valid and binding upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds


PAGE 9 OF 12

and the moneys and investments held by the Escrow Holder in the escrow deposit fund shall immediately be subject thereto without any further act. Such pledge and lien shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the School District irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Section 8. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, so long as any of the Refunding Bonds shall be outstanding, the School District shall not use, or permit the use of, any proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds in any manner which would cause the Refunding Bonds to be an “arbitrage bond” as defined in Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated by the United States Treasury Department thereunder, as then in effect. Section 9. Subject only to the issuance of the Refunding Bonds as herein authorized, the School District hereby elects to redeem all of the Refunded Bonds to be refunded maturing on and after the date of issuance of the Refunding Bonds that are callable at a present value savings, if any, as determined in the Refunding Financial Plan. Upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the election to redeem such callable Refunded Bonds shall become irrevocable. The Escrow Agent for the Refunding Bonds is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of such call for redemption to be given in the name of the School District in the manner and within the time provided in the respective Refunded Bonds. Such notice of redemption shall be in substantially the form attached to the Escrow Contract. Upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the election to call in and redeem the callable Refunded Bonds and the direction to the Escrow Agent to cause notice thereof to be given as provided in this paragraph shall become irrevocable, provided that this paragraph may be amended from time to time as may be necessary in order to comply with the publication requirements of paragraph a of Section 53.00 of the Local Finance Law, or any successor law thereto. Section 10. The Refunding Bonds shall be sold at private sale to the underwriter or underwriters duly determined by the President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President (collectively, the “Underwriter”) for purchase prices to be determined by the President or Vice President of the Board of Education, plus accrued interest from the date or dates of the Refunding Bonds to the date or dates of delivery of a payment for the Refunding Bonds. Subject to the approval of the terms and conditions of such private sale by the State Comptroller as required by subdivision 2 of paragraph f of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, the President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, is hereby authorized to execute and deliver a purchase contract for the Refunding Bonds in the name and on behalf of the School District providing the terms and conditions for the sale and delivery of the Refunding Bonds to the Underwriter. After the Refunding Bonds have been duly executed, they shall be delivered by the President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, to the Underwriter in accordance with said purchase contract upon the receipt by the School District of said purchase price, including accrued interest. The Board President is additionally authorized (but not required) to execute and deliver a financing agreement with the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and any other agreements and documents necessary to accomplish a refinancing, all as may be determined in the discretion of the Board President. Section 11. The President of the Board of Education and all other officers, employees and agents of the School District are hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of the School District to execute and deliver all certificates and other documents, perform all acts and do all things required or contemplated to be executed, performed or done by this resolution or any document or agreement approved hereby.


PAGE 10 OF 12

Section 12. All other matters pertaining to the terms, issuance and sale of the Refunding Bonds, consistent with the provisions of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, including without limitation, the determination to issue Refunding Bonds with substantially level or declining annual debt service, and Sections 50.00, 56.00 to 60.00, 90.10 and 168.00 of the Local Finance Law, shall be determined by the President of the Board of Education, or the Vice President of the Board in the event of the absence or unavailability of the President, and all powers in connection therewith not otherwise heretofore delegated thereto are hereby delegated to the Board President or Vice President. Section 13. The validity of the Refunding Bonds may be contested only if:

1. Such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which said School District is not authorized to expend money, or

2. The provisions of law which should be complied with at the date of publication of this

resolution (or a summary hereof) are not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of such publication, or

OPEN FORUM Maureen Shallish – Inquired about the Food Service corrective action plan from 2015 that was brought to the Board for acceptance that evening. Kimberly Bell responded that in 2015 we had an Office of the Comptroller Audit on our School Lunch Program and there was corrective action that was taken and signed off by the Board President at that time. There is a new requirement with OFC that we need to quarterly document the last audit and if there was a corrective action plan. We recognized that this was not approved by the Board of Education formally at a meeting. The District is bringing this old business back for a Board acceptance date and will be entering that date in the OFC portal every quarter until there is another audit by OFC. Maureen inquired about the tax rate that was on the Board agenda and asked if the situation was the same due to not accepting it in the summer. Kimberly Bell stated that it should have been brought to the Board in late August. Maureen Shallish recognized that the rates were on the current tax bills. She shared that there was

PRESENTATIONS Lauren Poehlman, School Business Administrator, presented the current budget status and projections for 2018-2019. CORRESPONDENCE The Board received a letter from Maureen Shallish. Gary Astles addressed her inquiry about two main topics. One was the lack of the use of Interim Superintendent for Kimberly Bell and a question about the search timeline for Superintendent. The search timeline will be discussed later in the agenda. The use of Interim or not for the Superintendent of Schools was prompted as a suggestion from Mr. Michael McGuire and his thought came to be consensus among the Board at that time that unlike most Interim Superintendents where there was no intention of them becoming a Superintendent candidate or future Superintendent. The expectations were that what an Interim Superintendent would be doing would be different than the expectations for Kimberly Bell. Since the Board felt that the work that she was charged to do was that of a full-fledged Superintendent they felt that maybe using the term Interim repeatedly in every correspondence and every reference to her would undermine that thrust forward in terms of continuing to move the District forward as opposed to some sort of place holding Superintendent. After discussion with Mr. McGuire and consensus of the Board we directed her not to use that title and just sign her name as Superintendent of Schools. Maureen’s questions were for public knowledge because the Board had not discussed the topic publically. Gary Astles stated that one prospective that you could look at is when we hire a permanent Superintendent and extend a contract we don’t make them claim their term when they sign documents, so the Board felt that use of the word Interim was just talking about a time period and therefore, not a description of the work to be done.

ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT Pam Rapoza, Director of Instruction - TST BOCES received a grant, so Ms. Rapoza was able to take three teachers to Westchester and they spent the day learning about CS for all, which is a National group that trying to bring some attention and light to computer science. The state is looking at putting some standards together for New York State, so we are looking at possibly having to implement some standards here. They have started to create a vision plan on how to move forward with that, so hopefully this summer they can start to look at the curriculum as it is here and create a new curriculum piece for Computer Science. STUDENT REPORT Jon Koeng reported that the girls’ basketball team just won a sportsmanship award from him. The girls had to put their game on hold tonight because of a ceiling leak in the High School gymnasium.

Notice of Special Meeting of the Qualified Voters of Trumansburg Central School District A motion was made by Jane Gallagher, and seconded by Sarah Vakkas and passes with a vote of 7-0-0: Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, the Board of Education for the Trumansburg Central School District notice is hereby given that a special meeting of the qualified voters of the Trumansburg Central School District shall be held at the Ulysses Historical Society, 39 South Street, Trumansburg, NY, on Tuesday, March 13, 2018, between the hours of 12:00 Noon and 8:00 P.M. The following proposition will be submitted for voter approval at said meeting: PROPOSITION Shall the following resolution be adopted to wit: RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE TRUMANSBURG CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO UNDERTAKE CERTAIN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS CONSISTING OF ADDITIONS TO, AND CONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF, EXISTING SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES, SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN ORIGINAL FURNISHINGS, EQUIPMENT, AND APPARATUS AND OTHER INCIDENTAL IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH FOR SUCH CONSTRUCTION AND SCHOOL USE, ALL AT AN ESTIMATED MAXIMUM AGGREGATE COST OF $24,997,422; AND TO APPROPRIATE AND EXPEND FROM THE EXISTING CAPITAL RESERVE FUND $4,500,000 FOR SUCH COSTS, AND THAT THE BALANCE OF SUCH COST, OR SO MUCH THEREOF AS MAY BE NECESSARY, SHALL BE RAISED BY THE LEVY OF A TAX TO BE COLLECTED IN ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS, WITH SUCH TAX TO BE PARTIALLY OFFSET BY SMART SCHOOLS BOND ACT FUNDS AND OTHER STATE AID AVAILABLE THEREFOR; AND, IN ANTICIPATION OF SUCH TAX, DEBT OBLIGATIONS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS MAY BE NECESSARY NOT TO EXCEED $20,497,422 SHALL BE ISSUED. NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the text of the aforesaid proposition may appear on the ballot labels in the following abbreviated form: PROPOSITION Shall the proposition set forth in the legal notice of this special voter meeting, authorizing additions to, construction, reconstruction and equipping of existing school buildings and facilities, site and incidental improvements, all at an estimated maximum aggregate cost of $24,997,422; with the expenditure of $4,500,000 from the existing capital reserve fund for such costs, the issuance of not to exceed $20,497,422 of debt obligations of the School District therefor, and the levy of a tax in annual installments therefor, with such tax to be partially offset by Smart Schools Bond Act funds and other state aid available therefor, all as more fully described in said notice, be approved. The School District, acting as lead agency under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder (“SEQRA”), has completed its environmental review and, on January 22, 2018, has duly issued a negative declaration and has determined that the implementation of the unlisted action as proposed will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. AND NOTICE IS ALSO GIVEN that applications for absentee ballots to vote on the proposition may be applied for at the office of the School District Clerk. Any such application must be received by the District Clerk at least seven days before the date of the aforesaid special district meeting if the ballot is to be mailed to the voter, or the day before such special district meeting if the ballot is to be delivered personally to the voter. A list of all persons to whom absentee ballots shall have been issued shall be available for public inspection in the office of the District Clerk during regular office hours on each of the five days prior to the day of the vote (excluding Saturday and Sunday). An


PAGE 7 OF 10

absentee ballot must reach the office of the District Clerk not later than 5:00 p.m. on the day of such special district meeting. Kimberly Bell: This is really setting for the proposal to bring to public referendum project 1.01, which actually has zero local impact. Lauren touched on that earlier in the budget presentation. This project is actually offset by $5M because $4.5M comes from the reserve; it is stated in this legal language. The other $500,000 will be offset by what Lauren had stated will transfer from debt service and bring into the general fund and then the Board of Education will make a motion to move that to the capital reserve. In totality, $5M will offset this proposal of almost $25M and that allows this project to have zero tax impact. To summarize, the project has been on the website, we’ve talked about it, and this process started back in May of 2016. There’s been a lot of discussion and what this really gets at is a lot of health and safety items out of the Buildings and Conditions survey and additionally for each building there is a STEM classroom, which is a new instructional space to meet the needs of our students. Ms. Bell believes that this Board, the Administrative Team and faculty in groups that she has spoken to have decided to move forward with this proposal because we are looking at drafting a new vision and mission statement for the District. We have Pam, who is our new Director of Instruction, so we have a lot of things in motion right now but we do not necessarily have a clear vision of where we want to be in the next 5 to 7 years. This project will continue to move us forward, take care of those health and safety items that are necessary to make sure our students are educated in a safe environment. I am assuming in 5 years we will come back to this Board and this Community under a new vision and ask for a project that supports those instructional spaces. Gary Astles: Just for clarification, this is one of two projects. The other was project 5.05, which was essentially the idea of closing the Middle School and combining all three buildings by building a new Middle School to connect the buildings. Acceptance of this obviously precludes the other, but it doesn’t mean that we’re only allowed to vote on this. So if there is discussion or opposition to this, then we can vote no and then come to project 5.05 and discuss that if we would like to do that. We are not eliminating one or the other we just for matter of convenience, put one on the agenda. Lora Hines: For clarification, has the Board already voted on which project they are moving forward with? Gary Astles: Clarifying question; no the Board has not voted on either project before tonight. Michelle Wright: Curious about the plan to get the word out about the vote to the voters. Kimberly Bell: There’s actually a piece that takes place with the architect. This really is the opportunity for the Board to decide on a project; if it’s this one we move forward with separately we would have one or two meetings with the community. The meetings would include drawings and schematics and a better definition of scope that is more detailed for the community, prior to a March referendum. If the Board decides to go with project 5.05 with the tax impact at over 9%, then we would also have that same opportunity to share with the community drawings, schematics and do the public information piece. Gary Astles: So there obviously has been a lot of discussion, as Kimberly mentioned, which started in 2016 with a public committee to look at the number of options. We certainly have had a number of discussions over the past 2 years about this. Gary put his opinion out there; in previous meetings he was vocal about being an advocate for closing the Middle School and building in between, but his opinion has changed and evolved over the past 2 years and he is support of this proposition for three reasons. One is that it addresses the building safety survey issues. If he’ s not mistaken, it addresses all of the number one priorities and a majority of number twos. So that is certainly of the utmost importance in terms of the safety of our buildings and maintaining our


PAGE 8 OF 10

operational integrity. The second thing is, despite his enthusiasm for a connecting building, and some of the benefits associated with that, he cannot support a 10% increase in the tax levy for a capital project at this time. Finally, we are already looking 4 to 5 years out before this really comes to fruition and he thinks without a solid vision of where the District is going and what it’s going to do that spending any more money than meeting the bare necessities of the buildings and conditions survey and some STEM space development over the course of those years, he is unable to support project 5.05 any longer. He would be in favor of proposal 1.0. Dianne Lynn: She concurred with Gary Astles. She has been to facilities meetings and heard from the Administrative Team about their ideas about what they need and believes this proposal meets what the District can do now. Sarah Vakkas: She was part of the committee, as well. It was great hearing from the principals and hearing the vision of what they can do already. She thinks we don’t have to wait to make instruction move. She thinks that it’s great that Pam and Kimberly are researching a lot of different things and looking at different programs that we can really try to create a model here and now and then when we really know what we want and have a pretty clear vision, we can really have a good idea of what the buildings need on this campus. She thinks that right now it’s too soon, too early, with the transition to make big decisions around project 5.05 and that tax impact. She doesn’t think that the community is ready with some of the changes that are happening within the community right now, in addition to the tax cap. If we can make sure the buildings are safe with the building conditions survey, she thinks we can do our do diligence with that survey, which is probably going to expire and the number twos and number threes on that list are going to potentially seep into needing to be fixed before this project is complete. She thinks the District is in great shape; better than what we were a few years ago. All of the feedback from the community members that participated is priceless. Hearing what our community and our parents want has been incredibly helpful. Sarah thanked everyone that volunteered their time and stated that there will be more opportunities to get involved in the future. Douglas Ann Land: Asked Kimberly about past conversations regarding sharing technology services with other schools. Kimberly Bell: Trumansburg does have shared technology services with CNYRIC and has one technician on staff. Douglas Ann Land: She was referring to technology space and the possibility of sharing with Watkins Glen. Kimberly Bell: Has been in contact with Watkin Glen to talk about what services they could share because geographically our Districts are located closer together. We are also looking at putting Professional Development work together for our Administrative Team, which would perhaps be aidable. Sarah has mention that Pam is doing a lot of work with all of our instructional staff and Kimberly and Pam have been to three schools to bring back best practices and things that we can do in our classrooms, and behind that is more Professional Development. Before the space comes, we need to get behind the work of our teachers, who are doing fabulous things already, but she thinks we need to take some things off their plate and give them permission to replace them and focus on other initiatives. We are doing a lot of work now that does not necessarily require new spaces. Douglas Ann Land: So, storage is no longer an issue? Douglas’ understanding was that storage was an issue. Kimberly Bell: The District is working within the confines of what they have.


PAGE 9 OF 10

Jane Gallagher: One thing we have to remember is that when we started out it seemed like a good opportunity to take a look critically and objectively at the Middle School. If we are going to spend a fair amount of money, the best thing to do is to make sure that we are putting it in a place where we would reap the rewards. This has been an evolutionary process and has not been rushed. Any number of constituents have had an opportunity to and have volunteered their time. Watching this process to arrive at this particular solution has really benefited us in sort of what Lewis Carroll said, “if you don’t know where you’re going, it doesn’t matter how you get there”. Kimberly’s wisdom of saying give us the time to be able to develop where we want our schools to go and how we want to best serve our children. One of the nice things about this particular proposition is that it does not preclude any advances in the future. Technology is evolving at such a rapid rate that even if we were running, we couldn’t keep up with it. We best need to know what it is that benefits us, not a nice lovely shiny thing out there, which I am as attracted to as anyone else with a new toy, but if you can’t implement it; we’re talking a lot about software but hardware is becoming complex and if we don’t have anyone that can understand that, then we have fancy pieces of equipment that don’t work. This positions us not to be able to not leap into the future, but do what we can afford. Jane thinks that this is a really sound proposition to be sent toward the community. Lora Hine: Appreciates the Board bringing forth the architects in so many public forums for the people to learn about the different plans, which was very helpful. She also agrees with Sarah’s comment that she doesn’t think the community is ready for a change right now.

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 2018

PAGE 1 OF 9

A Board of Education Meeting of the Trumansburg Central School District Board of Education was held on Monday, February 12, 2018 in the Charles O. Dickerson High School Library. President Gary Astles called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. President Astles led the flag salute. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT Jane Gallagher Michelle E. Wright Douglas Ann Land Gary Astles Dianne Lynn Sarah Vakkas Jhoanna Haynes Grace Heptig – Ex-Officio Student Member – Unexcused Absence ALSO PRESENT Kimberly Bell, Superintendent of Schools Tina Lincoln, District Clerk Lauren Poehlman, School Business Administrator Jeanie Wiggins, Elementary School Principal - Absent Jon Koeng, High School Principal Joshua Hunkele, Middle School Principal - Absent Angela Gemignani, Director of Special Education Pamela Rapoza, Director of Instructional Services Michael Pliss, Director of Technology SUPERVISORS Joseph Magliocca OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE DJ Williamson, Rhonda Williamson, Deanna Crance, Gingerlyn Mosher, Megan Williams, Rose Hanson, Sandy Harrington, Anthony Ouckama, Harlan Hastings, Maureen Shallish Approval of Minutes Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, the Board of Education for the Trumansburg Central School District hereby approves the Board of Education minutes from 01/22/18. OPEN FORUM/ Maureen Shallish – Proposed that the first order of business was the approval of minutes. She attended the December 11th meeting and the following meeting minutes that were accepted by the Board were incorrect about her comments that evening where she referenced an article in the NY Times about Trumansburg Schools and the progress they were making. The minutes read that she referenced an article about the Trumansburg Hamilton Square project, which she did not mention. Her name has been used in other manners and she has been receiving phone calls about what she was doing at the school promoting or questioning about the Hamilton Square Project. She let it stay there on purpose because it was important to her for people to understand that they can’t always believe the written word or depend upon second hand information. It’s not a reprimand, but the minutes would have been read and reviewed by all Board Members and they all read this and they knew that she did not say that. She wanted to come publically so she could point to the audio when people want to know what she had to say about it here. She is asking that the minutes be corrected


PAGE 2 OF 9

to say what was actually at 39 minutes and 30 seconds on the record, please. The thing that was omitted from her comments that night was her asking for clarification about the corrective action plan for Food Service and another comment that was made about the tax rates that were approved in December rather than in August. Maureen requested that be added to the notes for that night. Also, noting because that was something that should have occurred in August, perhaps being ahead of the game writing a corrective action plan already so when the audit happens and they note that it wasn’t done in August before the tax bills were written, then you’re ahead of the game. Or don’t do it and see if the auditors catch it and say they are not doing their job very well. It’s great that the minutes are up on the website, but perhaps they should be watermarked as a draft so that we know that they are not a final copy. Just looking ahead for what you are going to approve tonight in actions for the Robotics Team, the proposal is correct with 2018, but the paperwork submitted has February 2015 and March 2017 dates. The motion is correct, but the supporting documentation is not. Maureen noted the difficulties last year in the process for determining who the next Superintendent would be and the Board went ahead and appointed Kimberly as Interim Superintendent. By evidence so far, she is doing an excellent job. She is articulate, intelligent, engaged, she has compassion and she deserves to be able to speak so people can hear firsthand of what her experience and credentials are, rather than what’s happening in our community now with people relying on second hand information. She is not sure what the Board is doing moving forward with a search; if it’s moving forward and unilaterally appointing Kimberly, which will set a precedent for the District, as this has not happened before without other input from other stakeholders; teachers, community members, etc. Maureen thinks respectfully, she deserves that opportunity to avoid any misconceptions about her qualifications. In Maureen’s meetings with her and other comments she hears from community members, people are very pleased with the job that she is doing, and Maureen echoes that. Discussion ensued. DJ Williamson: Commented on Friday’s Boys Basketball game; wanted to express to the Board that what happened at Friday night’s game is not a representation of a majority of boys on the team. Hoping that what happened Friday night is not held against the players or the team. ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION: The Board of Education for the Trumansburg Central School District shall adjourn to Executive Session at 6:11 p.m., motioned by Douglas Ann Land, and seconded by Jhoanna Haynes with a vote of 7-0-0 to discuss the following: Matters relating to the dismissal or removal of a particular person or persons The Board of Education returned to regular session at 6:24 p.m. AGENDA CHANGES 14d.

Establishing District-Wide protocols for consistency within mental health for each building is something that Angie has looked at in CSE process. The program that supports audio books for free for students and parents, Learning Ally, was discussed. Wheelchair evacuation drills for students and bus drivers were discussed. One to one aide usage cost points and billing and maximizing aide. Angie Gemignani reported that a bulk of the meeting was discussing trainings for staff in the District and the switch to computer based testing. We also talked about accommodations and preparing students with disabilities for computer based testing. The committee touched on support staff training quite a bit. Support Staff typically do not receive much training and it’s an area that Angie would like to grow to prepare our frontline staff and people that are with our kids all day. Dianne Lynn spoke about the evacuation of wheelchair students and that TST BOCES had reported that Trumansburg is the only District actively preparing students, drivers and monitors. The idea came from the Transportation Department. Every book that is being used in the classroom is on audio now for families to use and teachers can add books.

This contract will be effective from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018 and is valued at $1,500, as presented. BOARD FORUM Gary Astles would like to use this opportunity to decide how to proceed with the Superintendent Search and asked the Board for input. Douglas Ann Land - Kimberly is perfectly situated for her experience in the community. She has worked at BOCES and South Seneca, she knows all of the players in the game, her children have attended local schools. She herself is quite the professional and we are being very well served by her. Kimberly is unfluxed by unpleasant situations and it takes quite a bit to rattle her. She has certainly had an interesting beginning to the year. Everyone in the community that Douglas has spoken to is in favor of her as our Superintendent. Dianne Lynn - Our Board has reached their timeline and is now speaking about how they feel about having Kimberly as the next Superintendent. She does not believe that she needs to search any further, the Board knows Kimberly and she has proven to be able to handle critical situations with grace and command. Dianne is impressed over and over again with Kimberly’s ability. As Lincoln said, “the best way to predict the future, is to create it”. She thinks the Board has done that by offering Kimberly the opportunity to create our future; this is a good school and we are going to make it better. Jane Gallagher – Believes the District has given Kimberly the longest job interview she has ever had. It’s time for us to thank Kimberly for what she has done and hope that she is willing to continue. Sarah Vakkas – Agrees with Jane that this is the longest interview ever. She has had quite a year and through all of the gathering of community input, folks who have written to us, folks that we have spoken to, and the evaluation process for Kimberly, it’s just been with flying colors. It truly is only good stuff that she is doing for the community and providing to parents. Sarah sees Kimberly at concerts and at the play and her presence has been needed in this community. We have only heard good things about Kimberly from the community and we are very lucky to have her. Jhoanna Haynes - The initiatives that Kimberly has brought on since she started as Superintendent has been fantastic. As a parent, she is very happy. It just shows that the work Kimberly is doing for the education of students needs to continue in this very fast paced world. She does not believe the Board needs to go on a search for a Superintendent. Kimberly has shown her professionalism with the Board and definitely with Jhoanna, it being her first year on the Board. Kimberly has spent time with her helping her learn, as she does not have the experience that others on the Board have to know school terms. Kimberly’s patience has been appreciated. Jhoanna reiterated that the Board does not need to search for another Superintendent.


PAGE 7 OF 9

Michelle Wright - Agrees with the group. If you haven’t gotten that feeling yet from Kimberly, she does have an open door policy. In response to a suggestion during open form to have a public forum introducing Kimberly; there are coffee breaks that are made to meet with her. The next one is March 1st. If the coffee breaks don’t work with people’s schedules, Kimberly is willing to meet with anybody that would like to speak with her. Michelle agrees with the rest of the Board and believes the District is very lucky. Gary Astles - One of the really important things that the board has done this year is both establish an evaluation process and make sure that they had input from the entire administrative team. The Board spoke with each team member this December to ask them their impressions and to evaluate Kimberly as their Superintendent. The Board asked about strengths, areas of improvements and to evaluate Kimberly’s leadership and by the time administrators were done, there were no concerns about areas that could be strengthened or improved. They were very supportive. Gary could not see what need the District would be filling by searching for someone else. Kimberly is guiding the District with a vision; that decision making is what the District needs. Gary has worked with Kimberly for over two decades in all of her roles, including being her college internship supervisor. Gary is inordinately impressed with her ability in terms of being able to settle labor contracts this past summer and her decision to help guide to Board to a Capital Project that would meet District needs, but not overextend the District financially and not commit to a direction that we are uncertain of without having a true vision. Kimberly is 100% committed to serving the District. He sees no reason to go forward with any type of search. Gary made a motion to the Board to enter into contract discussions with Kimberly with the intent of securing her as our permanent Superintendent. Agreement to Enter in Contract Discussions with Kimberly Bell A motion was made by Sarah Vakkas, seconded by Michelle Wright and passes with a vote of 7-0-0: The Board of Education for the Trumansburg Central School District hereby agrees to enter into contract discussions with Kimberly Bell, with the intent of securing her as the permanent Superintendent of Schools for Trumansburg Central School District. Kimberly Bell looks forward to the opportunity to serve this District. This work is representative of an amazing Administrative Team. OPEN FORUM Anthony Ouckama: Employee of the District. Anthony echoes the sentiments of the Board regarding how she has led the District. He applauded the Board for gathering community and teacher input for the initial Superintendent search, which was an extremely important part of the search because it led the District to Kimberly as an internal candidate. The response was that community wanted the internal candidates considered, as well. His only concern is that the Board should offer teacher and community input again to set a precedent that the Board’s decision was not made without community input. Again, he completely supports Ms. Bell and hopes the District goes in that direction. Anthony would like a way to gather input, not only from administrators, but from the teachers and community saying that Ms. Bell has our complete support and the District values your input. Jane Gallagher responded that the Board had a plethora of response in regards to the Superintendent search. Kimberly has been with us for about seven years and if we don’t know everything that there is to know about her at this time, then the only thing Jane doesn’t know about her is if she likes chocolate. At this point, Jane has no concerns whatsoever about setting a precedent to finding someone that is so qualified and that we know so well, and the community knows so well that it’s much more efficient for us to simply say, thank you Kimberly. If she is willing to be our Superintendent, then that’s what we have in mind. The Board has already received a fair amount asking other people for input. The input that the Board has gotten has been overwhelming


PAGE 8 OF 9

asking if they are nuts, why would you look for somebody else. Anthony Ouckama’s concern is if we had chosen last year, would the Board have appointed someone else without input? Angie Gemignani shared that perhaps it would be a time for others in the community and staff to get to know Kimberly as well as the Board does. Kimberly could talk about her different roles, her background and give the time for interaction with questions and answers and getting to know each other. Kimberly Bell stated that as time a lots, she would like to be present not only on campus, but out in the community during the day. With all of the events that have happened this fall and the recording that is necessary with NYSED, she has not had the opportunity to be in buildings as much as she would like to be. Kimberly has had a lot of feedback from individual community members in support of her Superintendence. She has twenty-four years in education, she holds several certifications; Superintendent, Business Official, Building Principal (which expired because she didn’t use it) and School Counselor. Kimberly worked for twelve years at BOCES, she’s worked with Special Education students, worked at South Seneca as a Middle School Principal, and then took on the 9th Grade, as well. She also worked on budgeting. Kimberly believes her experience has been quite vast and she does have an open door policy. She is available if she can be and often drops everything if someone pops in because she recognizes that their time is also limited. She responds to emails and makes phone calls after work and calls parents on weekends, so she feels she is definitely putting in the time and making face contact and is happy to continue to do that. Kimberly thinks that makes this District better. She is not in this alone, as she has a very strong leadership team and they do their work together and she is good because of them. Gary Astles responded to the idea that this is precedent setting and the difference between Paula Hurley’s selection as an internal candidate for Superintendence and Kimberly Bell’s selection as an internal candidate. Paula was a High School Principal and no one knew anything about what her experience might have been or her thoughts, philosophies and vision for the District may be as Superintendent, and therefore it was probably far more incumbent upon the Board at that time to make sure that was expressed. This is the longest job interview process that has existed. Gary feels as Board President there has been ample opportunities for people to express concerns and to address issues either with Kimberly or with the Board. Over the course of the last month and a half the Board has made it abundantly clear that the end of January was our time to make a decision and repeatedly asked for input, so he hopes that the Board has received that. The feedback and input that the Board has received over the past eight or nine months has led them to believe as strongly as they do that no matter how far and wide the search would be that we would absolutely end up with the same decision and that it would be the very best decision for the District. Gary thanked Anthony for the question. Anthony Ouckama reiterated that he is in full support of going in this direction and that he wanted to make sure a process was being followed. Deanna Crance stated that there have been a lot of questions throughout the buildings of when the process is going to start. Deanna agreed that the open door policy is in effect, as she has experience it. People have asked about the process and she thinks the coffee hour is great, but not everyone is able to attend. People don’t know about Kimberly’s history and an open forum would allow Kimberly to speak about who she is and all parents could come. Kimberly is someone that says good morning when she walks down the hall, which is great because the District has not had that for so many years. The jokes about Mr. Delaney out directing traffic with his orange gloves were funny, but we all knew who he was. If Deanna ran into him now, he wouldn’t know her name, but he would know she worked for the District. It is great that Kimberly is getting out and she has


PAGE 9 OF 9

heard comments about how professionally she is handling all of the situations that have occurred this year, but an open forum in the auditorium to meet the Superintendent would be great. Gary Astles agreed that having a night to meet the Superintendent and ask questions would be great. That is something that the Board will take under strong consideration and that it’s a great idea. Michelle Wright commented that it’s hard for volunteers because this is their access point for the public and staff. Board Meetings are a place to have their ear or, email the President of the Board, Gary Astles. Jon Koeng spoke as an administrator, community member, a tax payer and a parent that the Board decision is absolutely the right decision. As the other internal candidate, he also said their decision was the right decision. Everything that we have dealt with this year is a lot to throw at our Interim Superintendent and time and again I have said to the administrative team and his wife that he is glad that this decision was made and this is where they need to be. The administrative team has been more unified than they have been in a long time and they have clarity of purpose that they have needed. We have also felt trusted as administrators to make the difficult decisions and we have a Superintendent that has our back and has supported us when things have been difficult and when things have been fun. He stated that he is appreciative of the Board’s decision and is in support of it and looks forward to the next few years.
