Patrick Curtin as Interim Superintendent

The HCS top web page today announces that
The Hamilton Central School Board of Education is pleased to announce that Dr. Pat Curtin will serve as Interim Superintendent for HCS beginning in July 2014. Dr. Curtin's vast experience as a interim superintendent for many schools in our area (most recently Stockbridge Valley), as well as his familiarity with Hamilton Central from having previously been employed here as a business manager, make him uniquely qualified to lead the district as we undertake an extensive search for our next Superintendent. Dr. Curtin will work with the administrative team, faculty and staff, community members, and the Board of Education at Hamilton to address the current challenges facing the district and to continue the excellence of our academic programs and extra-curricular offerings within the context of those challenges.
Radio Free Hamilton says a little more.

Matching Grant by Dick's Sporting Goods to Keep JV Going

A matching grant is available for Hamilton JV Sports, with five weeks to raise $4,089. 5% funded as of April 17th. Hamilton Emerald Knights - Sports Matter
This team will only receive The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation matching grant if at least $4,089 is pledged by Friday, May 23rd 6:00pm ET.
Hamilton Central School has a long, proud history of providing enriching extracurricular opportunities for its students. This has historically included athletic activities at the modified, junior varsity, and varsity levels when participation numbers warranted all three. However, JV sports have not been a part of the overall school budget for the last three years. The athletic budget itself has been cut by approximately $50,000 over the course of the last six years. For the past three years, we have been fortunate to receive donations to keep our JV programs running. Budget constraints are an issue again in the upcoming year and we are asking for your help to keep these opportunities for our student athletes.

Note on Fall Sports

With reference to the fall sports discussions around the approved budget, and more particularly to the Superintendent's blog post at Will There be Girl's Soccer in the Fall of the 2014--15 School Year? - Dr. Bowers - SuperintendentHamilton CSD, Heather Cigeroglu urges by email:
  In a small school numbers are always an issue with sports. I understand Denny's reason for changing it but disagree with the finality of the switch being based on a student survey. Another issue is whether or not all students really understood the survey's intent or consequences or even got to take the survey. After reading Denny and Jen's response on the blog it seems, and I could be wrong, that if volleyball moves to the fall and there are not enough players then the sport to be merged with another school would be soccer. Is volleyball not able to be combined with another school?
  Regardless, there are girls who have quite a stake in this switch and thus a meeting with Denny, Jen, Brian, Bill and/or Diana, the ladies who intend to play volleyball or soccer, and their parents should indeed be held as soon as possible to work this all out and find the best possible solution for the students involved.

Budget approval -- report from Astrid Helfant

Astrid Helfant (BoE candidate) with quick report on yesterday's meeting:

Here's a quick summary of tonight's Public Budget Hearing. Ellen [Larson], please read over it and see if some items need editing or if I left out some things that you consider important. ... The end result is that the Board approved the budget this evening.

- The BoE is looking to hire an interim Superintendent starting July 1st. Erin asked the salary for someone with a doctorate which is $135,000 according to Diana. Barbara proposed the possibility of hiring a permanent superintendent in the middle of the school year starting the spring semester. Matt responded that this would be fine in terms of the budget; such a mid-year hire could be accommodated. My question (which I did not ask) is whether the quality of candidates is better during for a normal July 1st starting time compared to a February 1st starting time. 

- The tax levy of 2.21% and the intent not to override the levy was submitted by March 1st. Although this is not binding, it was clear that the Board had no intent of overriding the levy. From my conversation with Terry Monte during the meeting it was clear that the Board may anticipate a worse budget year coming up as Terry gathered from a Superintendent coffee she attended. It would thus make more sense to avoid an override of the tax levy this year, as we may very well need an override next year. Diana did remind us that in a letter she received a year or so ago from David Valesky, Valesky stated that he anticipated a full restoration of the GEA within the next two years. Since this letter was sent a year ago, that may mean that we should have our GEA restored for the 2015-2016 school year. Of course no guarantees here. 

- I mentioned again to Diana, Matt and the Board that Carolyn is very interested in being involved in the foreign exchange initiative. I asked Diana who the Colgate Alumnus is that is part of the Southern-Westchester BOCES. She was very good about sending Debbie Kirley to retrieve his name for me: Jeff Donnelly. Diana and he had email communication. The full intention is that he is considering up to 5 boys most likely from China paying $14,000-$20,000 HCS tuition and who all may be living in a house provided by Colgate supervised by a house parent. This monetary amount of $70,000-$100,000 has not been included in the budget as there are no guarantees here. With the HCS Sevis rating good to go, we are however all set for students from abroad to come. HCS just needs to facilitate their visas.

- I brought to Diana, Matt and the Board's attention Stephanie's question regarding a second full-time art position. I threw in there the option of the 0.5 or 1.0 second library position. Diana first clarified that with Bill Magee's $50,000 Bullet Aid, HCS is able to maintain Jenn Brigg's 0.5 library position. Which means the total librarian staff is 1.5 FTE. The response was that since we cannot count for sure on the foreign exchange funds, we are unable to include such increased staff position(s) in the current budget. Maybe next year?

- Much talk was about the JV, Varsity and Modified Sports. David Ellis had a conversation with Jen and was particularly concerned with how the HCS administration presented their Sports budget to the public. The perception was that JV sports' funding was contingent upon a grant requested from Dick's Sporting Goods. The money received from Dick's would need to be matched by the Sports Boosters. This is however not the case. Based on the enrollment surveys for all sports, only those sports with enough enrollments to create a team are currently budgeted for. Any additional teams to be created based on unanticipated sign-ups will have to come from this grant. Dennis Roy said that no matter what happens with the numbers, money can be shuffled and the teams will play. It's a matter of getting the numbers. Gary Weeks and Morgan among others asked questions in addition to David Hollis about the sports budget.

- The "Enrichment" position is indeed cut. However, this position cut does not mean HCS students will no longer receive enrichment. Also, Johanna B. (Ag teacher) will hopefully continue to offer the Enrichment Bunch Program, though this is contingent upon funding from the Emerald Foundation as well as help from a second teacher.

- None of the other administrators (besides Diana, Matt and Dennis) were there. I was going to ask the attending Principals what their opinion was about a reduced (interim) Superintendent position (0.75 FTE). Do they think this would be feasible? Could they themselves make up for the reduction in administrative staff? Could they take on the extra responsibility? Again, I didn't get to ask this question, but would very much have liked to.
and Ellen Larson doesn't see anything to change in there, so here 'tis.
Update:Radio Free Hamilton has a report at HCS Board Approves Budget With 1.16% Increase
The HCS School Board tonight approved a preliminary 2014-2015 budget of $12,260,960, which is an increase of just 1.16 percent over the current spending plan.

Opt-Out Info Links: Information from a Parent

An HCS parent who prefers anonymity wanted to share some research on the opt-out "movement":

Here are some of the links I think are worth considering:
Letter and position paper by three NYC teachers (the position paper is quite thorough):

Building the Machine (Common Core Documentary)--39 minutes long:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjxBClx01jc
update:
This link has feedback from teachers and principals who have seen this year's test, as well as some parent feedback:


To these I (TM) will just add a link from Science Daily this week: Education: States' standardized tests have a negative impact on parents' civic engagement -- ScienceDaily
New research from a political scientist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has found that parents of public school students in states with more extensive and stringent student assessment systems express lower trust in government, less confidence in government efficacy, and more negative views of their children's schools, thereby threatening civic engagement and the potential for future education reform.
 I'm a data guy myself--I would love to approve of more data collection, but once you start making decisions based on that data, well, as I quoted a while back:
Campbell’s law: “The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making,” ... “the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor.”

Pretty Good News from April 8 "Community Leaders/Fiscal" Meeting

(Updated below with comments from others who attended)
Every now and then, things have to go somewhat less wrong: otherwise everybody would understand that the Universe really is plotting against us all, and we'd be permanently braced for it. So this evening our oft/rescheduled meeting revealed that
  • The GEA improvement in the just-released final budget run is $68K; (still not good, but less bad)
  • Our State Assembly representative, Bill Magee, produced $50K in "bullet aid"; it may indeed be true that Our view:'Bullet' aid clear indication that system is wrong - News - Uticaod - Utica, NY, but in this case at least it is certainly plugging a hole left by, as the article puts it, "the state’s long-broken school funding formula". Again, less bad.
  • I've written before on the possibility (and desirability, not just on financial grounds) of appealing to international students. Now it looks like the Southern Westchester BOCES is setting up an exchange student program to which we need only say "yes", for an initial version with probably five students, paying HCS $14-20K each in addition to the money that pays for their stay and supervision here; that's obviously complex, and takes most of the money that their parents pay. Astonishingly, this could happen next year and could add another $70K--$100K to the budget. (The tuition may be less than the average cost of educating an HCS student, but is far more than the marginal cost; it's mostly "profit".) In this case HCS benefits from the Colgate connection and the fact that Homeland Security has already investigated us, costs being paid by a previous student's family.
  • Classrooms for special education, a huge expense for HCS, are being reshuffled in complex ways; Molly (BoE President) wanted to comment on the cleverness of the juggling act, without which "we'd be in a very different place."
  • And for the moment, the resource officer is off the budget.
What with all the savings, it appears that we keep our full-time art teacher (1.5 art teachers total). Only the "supplemental innovation/enrichment" person is cut. Diana argues against looking for a part-time superintendent...hmm...dunno. Molly says, in response to the observation that we have a few more administrators than comparably sized schools, that she checked on specifics and was told that "for historical reasons" we list a couple of positions, such as the technology directory, as an administrative post where the "low-administration" schools would list the people doing this as teachers. This is plausible, and overall the news is much less bad than it seemed this morning.

Update on Opt-Out Our opt-out percentage may have been high, with almost a quarter of the affected students sitting out the test, but the protest has been heard and it wasn't just us: about 30K students in the state opted out, a vote of no confidence on the current nysed administration has gone through, the new administration is sounding different, the test is invalid and there's no way it will be used. I will probably update with other notes (we talked about telepresence and such) and maybe with more links Real Soon Now, but that's all for the moment.

Update: notes from other attendees:
Susan Marafino adds
I mentioned that [Carolyn Hsu] would be a good person to be involved with the potential exchange student program with Southern Westchester BOCES. The coordinator happens to be a Colgate alumni - Diana couldn't recall his name.  HCS would apparently be the first school to be part of this BOCES exchange student program, and  one appeal for choosing our district, besides the Colgate connection, is that we already have the SEVIS rating.

I missed the first minute of the meeting, but after the meeting Bud Ballinger confirmed that the strings position was being restored to current levels including 2nd and 3rd grade.

Lastly, Diana mentioned, following a question from Astrid about JV sports, that the girls soccer program was being cut because "there aren't sufficient numbers".  This is on the heels of girls volleyball being moved to the fall.  To my understanding, there has been no discussion of this in any BOE meeting to date, so it was surprising to hear it presented as fait accompli.  Considering that the last item on tonight's agenda was "asking for collaboration and transparency as a two-way street", this certainly merits further discussion at the next board meeting, as well as with student athletes and their parents, and Sports Boosters.
Heather Cigeroglu then added
Just a few other notes to point out...
  • Susan had mentioned the shift of girls volleyball to the fall. In response, Diana mentioned that Jen Dean should be asked about this because it was Jen and Denny Roy that made the switch based upon a student survey that was given.
  • There will be potentially 4 positions opening up at HCS if the budget is passed: 
       2 Guidance Positions (long-term maternity leave) 
       1 Art Position (not sure if full or part is being advertised)
       1 Special Education Position

* I was hoping that the .5 art teacher would somehow be able to extend their position by teaching courses that the technology and innovation coordinator may have taught so not to completely loss that portion of the curriculum and also to be a support to PBL since this is how art teachers have always approached their material. I don’t think I was clear on my intention, I think many people thought I was just advocating to bump the part-time to a full-time position which was not the main intent. Following my comment, Audrey Miller made a great point that although it would be great to have two full-time art teachers there is still only one librarian for the school. An excellent point really.
  • Currently the Board is looking into Interim candidates and once he/she is decided on they will then focus their energies on a full superintendent search. 
  • The PBL (Project Based Learning) model http://www.edutopia.org/project-based-learning is just beginning to become incorporated as part of the curriculum at HCS. Diana explained that she prefers to refer to it as process-based learning, placing more emphasis on the process than the product. I have to agree with her on that. 
  Audrey Miller seemed very positive about the experiences her 1st graders are    
  having with the PBL approach. 

Astrid Helfant said
Let me add to this Diana's rebuttal in response to my letter to the Board regarding a 0.75 FTE (interim) superintendent position. Her comments included that it would not be of benefit to HCS to reduce the superintendent position. She of course emphasized that she had nothing to gain from advocating this on behalf of HCS considering she's leaving her job this summer. Diana stated that those schools that have reduced superintendent and / or shared principal jobs are of lesser educational standing compared to schools that have no part-time upper level administrator positions. Also, according to Diana, HCS would not be able to hire as good a candidate if it were seeking to fill a less than full-time slot.
Furthermore, and Molly chimed in here, they both critiqued the earlier comparison Ferdinand and I vocalized during a board meeting regarding HCS having 6.0 FTE administrator positions compared to other similar sized schools with only 4.0 administrator positions. Such a comparison, they stated, is invalid as Hamilton includes its Technology Director as part of administrator staff, whereas other schools may include this position under teaching staff. So in essence, according to this argument, we'd be comparing apples to oranges.
Thanks also to Stephanie for backing me up on this reduced superintendent position by underscoring at the end of this discussion that my original letter to the Board suggested this may make sense for the interim job, which does not necessarily mean this is the way to go for the long term.
 and finally, Stephanie McClintick did some research on the athletic issue:
I wrote to Brian Rose who had no idea that there was a possibility of canceling soccer at HCS in the fall. He met with the Jen Dean, the AD this morning, and said that there would be girls soccer.
And a note from me (Tom Myers) -- I had been supporting the part-time interim superintendent idea, and wasn't immediately convinced by Diana's rebuttal: in particular, Diana commented that we could pay less and get a "manager" but not an "educational leader" and I wasn't sure that was bad. Thinking about what Astrid said and back to Diana's remarks leads me to think I was wrong. If we're hoping to get new things to happen, such as the international student project or electrical cogeneration or telepresence in any of its forms or whatever, then we do need more. The Bottom Line for me is that we're probably doing okay for next year... Yaaaaaay!! But there are several troubles on the horizon. So it goes.

Opt-Out Update; (BoE Candidate) Larson Letter

At the end of last month, I described HamiltonCentralOptions: The Opt-Out Option; Parental Protests Against Over-Testing. As Radio Free Hamilton said after the tests, Large Number of HCS Students Opt Out of Test
Almost one quarter of the HCS students in grades 3-8 who were supposed to take Tuesday's state mandated English Language Arts standardized test did not....
Opting out of the exams has become a sizeable movement in New York State, often linked to dissatisfaction with how the state has introduced the Common Core curriculum.
A comment on the RFH post deserves some attention, in part because the author, Dr. Ellen Larson, is one of the candidates in our BoE race; this copy restores the formatting lost in the RFH comment box:
 It appears to me from what I can find through google this may very well represent one of the highest ratios of opting out reported.

To be clear- I am not saying that I support these tests or this testing chapter and verse.
I have not found or seen evidence that these tests have been validated.

I do see value in the common core standards.
I do NOT see value in the common core modular curriculum.
I do see some role for validated standardized tests.
I value our school and our teachers and our administration at HCS for having the foresight to see what we can do with the common core standards by avoiding the modular curriculum.
I also believe that every school's approach to this is a work in progress and everyone - administrators, teachers, kids and parents have a lot to learn through the process and as it evolves.
I do believe in "civil disobedience"- but I did not see that opting out of the test was going to be an effective message - my concern being that kids opting out of testing was really punishing the teacher and the school district not the governor or his educational commissioner.


So I have to ask the questions:
Of the 1/4 of families that opted out of state testing in the Hamilton school district:
How many of those families have ever attended a school board meeting?
How many of those families have attended a school board meeting regularly?
How many of those families have any idea what an APPR is?
How many of those families have any idea what the consequences of opting out of testing may be for the  school or the teacher?
How many of those families have any idea what the common core standards are?
How many of those families have any idea what the difference is between the common core curriculum and the common core standards?
How many of those families have any idea what the Hamilton School District has or has not done to achieve the common core standards?
How many of those families understand what a modular curriculum Is?
How many of those families know what Hamilton's curriculum is ?
How many of those families have ever written a letter, sent an email, or called their Governor, congressman, assemblyman, or State Education Commissioner about this or any other issue?
How many of these families have attended a school budget meeting or discussion?
How many of those children understand why they didn't take the test?

My hope for the outcome of this is that if this many families within the Hamilton School District feel this strongly about their children's education that they will start to participate in these things and start putting voices and signatures and votes out where they make a difference. 

"Helfant for BoE" flyer

I don't yet feel that I know enough about some of the candidates for vacant BoE spots; here's a flyer for Astrid Helfant (PTO President), along with an open letter she recently sent to the current Board, and I'll be happy to post information about any others.



And the open letter she sent to the Board was

Hello -
Thank you for the work that all of you do to keep our school running smoothly. I have a few questions regarding the HCS Budget. I would very much appreciate all of your input. I plan on attending the two budget meetings held this week at HCS and would be happy to receive answers then.
Based on the information I've gathered from all the HCS meetings I've attended the last couple of months, I understand that the following are being (re)considered so as to balance the HCS budget:
- reducing the string program by eliminating 2nd and 3rd grade strings
- reducing the art positions at the elementary and high school to roughly 1.67 FTE
- continuing the cut of Junior Varsity Sports
- changing the pre-K program from two mornings to one morning and one afternoon
Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of these statements.
I was wondering if we could avoid all of these cuts / reductions by hiring an interim HCS Superintendent at 0.75 FTE instead and by eliminating the safety officer as well.
Could such changes enable HCS to reinstate the full string program, not reduce but instead increase the art program to 2 FTE, keep the pre-K to two morning sessions at least for the fall semester and reinstate Junior Varsity Sports?
If these items (or at least some of them) are still on the cutting board, would the BoE consider inquiring whether going beyond the 2% tax levy is a feasible option in our town.
Thank you for considering my suggestions. I look forward to the upcoming budget meetings and hope that these items could be addressed. Though I will confess, Molly, that I'm not sure the extent at which board members will be present during these two meetings.
Thank you again for your time,
Astrid

Final (?) Budget Run for State Aid, 2014-15

Ferdinand points out the 2014-15 STATE AID PROJECTIONS. (Copied below.)
Bottom line, as Radio Free Hamilton quoted Superintendent Bowers, Aid Increase for HCS Still Means Possible Cuts:
"We are still looking at a decrease in staffing by 2.0 FTE's (full time equivalent positions), having morning and afternoon pre-K - instead of two mornings, and adding new special education programs to the district, to decrease the number of students placed out of the district."
So the question may become: considering that we have more administrators than other comparable-size schools, do we cut teachers or administrators? And considering that the most expensive administrator will of course be the (new) interim superintendent, should we cut the superintendent to part-time?
