Did you know……… per the NY Department of Education that the school board voting and the certification are considered BOE meetings, so under the NY Open Meetings law anyone can come and watch as long as they don't create a disturbance or interfere with the voting or certification process directly after the voting.

Did you know…… even though there are 4 open BOE seats, you DO NOT have to vote for 4 people! You have every right to just vote for 1 candidate, 2 or 3 candidates. Just fill in the bubble for the candidate(s) you want and leave the others blank.

Tonight is the night to meet BOE candidates.

The new administration position, Director of Personnel and Operations has a starting salary of $157,482.00. This position was approved this week by the BOE (2 members dissented, all others approved). The salary was NOT disclosed to the public until after the board voted. This didn’t allow for the tax paying community to give the BOE feedback or ask questions. Terms of agreement run until June 2025. Was this position posted and did the school interview any candidates for the position?

FYI… at tonight’s board meeting the board will be discussing the establishment of another administrative position at the school. The title is: Director of Personnel and Operations.
Do we need more administrators or do we need more professionals to directly work with the children?

See the school’s $13,400 proposed budget for disposable masks below.
This is a page from the signed FS-10 American Rescue Plan signed by Superintendent on 1/28/22. Project Fund Dates began on 3/13/20 and runs until 9/30/24.

Did you see this news???
Our children will be free to breath oxygen rather than their own carbon dioxide, their smiles seen for the first time by their teachers, and feel closer to a normal school day!

The Governor has the ability to extend the mask wearing for schools until April 22nd. This after the news yesterday broke on the CDC withholding data from the American people. This data states, that those with in the age range of 18-49 are holding on to the vaccine much longer and are NOT in need of boosters.
How could this data have effected the college students, those working in hospitals and in other jobs that Required boosters or loss of their jobs?

Where do you stand? Could this information have changed your life, your families, your friends or relatives ability to support their families or attend college?

After watching the Super Bowl, school aged kids who were said to “not be super spreaders”, unaffected by the virus, outside of the common cold symptoms, should be able to sit in a lunchroom next to friends without a mask.

Did you know you can call the Governor’s office, and express your feelings regarding kids/school mask wearing? As a Citizen of the state of NY, & Onondaga County, speak up, be heard, make a difference. If you don’t advocate for your child, who will?

Sharing some school policy -

So our school received over 1 million dollars in Covid Relief ( to keep kids masked). Has the school ever told the community what they are doing with this money exactly or how they are spending it?

Here is the most up to date Covid statistics in/around our area. If anyone has Onondaga County, please link in the comments.
Is there a real reason to push for children to be vaccinated with numbers like these? Certainly debatable.
