RE: Board of Education Principal’s Report
Date: March 24, 2014
Dear Board of Education,
Due to the many happenings going on in the Savona building, I wanted to submit a comprehensive report to you for this BOE meeting.
Savona Town Board and Five Year Plan- In December our students in 5-12th
grade helped out the Savona Town Board by
completing a survey regarding a student’s view of what they would want to happen to grow the town of Savona. The
students shared their vision of the town and surrounding area. On March 5th
, the town of Savona held an open public meeting
to discuss the result of the survey. I have attached a pdf of the full presentation in the email from Mrs. Costa with the BOE
packet, but wanted to also share some of the basic data points in the survey. Overall our students:
Favorite Things: the community, library King’s natural beauty, sports, park, chance to be involved. It is
also interesting that our students have a definitive love of nature and preserving their natural surroundings.
Least Favorite Things: Not much to do, run-down homes and building, don’t always feel safe, busy roads.
What They Would Build: Dog part, picnic area, gym, skate park, ice skating rink, gaming area, place for
kids to hang out, dance studio, pool, stage or theatre, better park , nature center, nature trail, garden, new
restaurants.
I would also recommend the Board reading through the entire presentation as it has very relevant data regarding the
surrounding area in regards to population, economic, and environmental trends. I found it very eye opening as to the make-
up of our area! Being a part of this committee has also been an effective way for me to get to know the community and find
ways for the school to support the community.
Full-Day Prekindergarten – Transition into the program has gone incredibly smooth! Mrs. Fishbaugh and Ms. Sutphen are
doing an incredible job and the students are having a great time! Our PreK information night is on March 20th
where we will
be, for the first time, introducing incoming PreK students with a full-day program! It is also important to note that
throughout this process Mrs. Makowiec and I have been meeting with Pro-Action to align our programs as much as possible
to allow for the closest possible experience from the two programs. We have good ideas moving forward and I can’t wait to
see the program grow!
Math and Science Night- Along with the Junior High STEAM night, the elementary is planning their second annual Math
and Science night. Last year was a wonderful success and we are hoping to build on it this year by bringing in a real scientist
from the Science center and also Hunt engineering will be sending two architects and engineers to run a booth for families to
participate in! This is also a great night to say “thank you” to our PTO as the teachers and administration run this night so
that the PTO and their families can fully participate.
Second Grade Play and Upcoming Chorus Concerts – On March 28th
, Mrs. Schwartz will be leading the second grade
class in play called “The Lion and the Mouse”. Our students will not only be performing, but the entire intermediate level
children will participate in a workshop led by Nana Kwasi Anim who is a professional African dancer, drummer, instructor
and choreographer that will connect to the music of the play and for the upcoming concerts on June 6th
. At the concert the 6th
grade choir will be performing a piece called “Ubuntu” that celebrates the human spirit and focuses on people’s allegiances
and relationships with each other. In a nutshell it means “A person is a person through other people”. This will be an
incredible art and music experience for our students! We also have the 5-12 Band concert coming up on March 25th
at
7:00pm in the high school auditorium.
Philanthropy and Dreams – Our Character Club and other hand-picked students have been volunteering their time to help
community members in need. Mrs. Makowiec, Mrs. Presher and Mrs. Taft have been taking children out to shovel snow,
walk dogs, stack firewood, and even read to the elderly! Talk about building ROAR character! We have also had all of our
children in create their own goal to attain before the end of the year and will be hanging them up throughout the school to
show that we are dreams that do…

CAMPBELL-SAVONA CENTRAL SCHOOL
CAMPBELL, NEW YORK
March 24, 2014
TO: Board of Education
FROM: Kathy Hagenbuch, Superintendent
SUBJECT: New York State Testing Program- CSCSD Procedures for Refusals on State Exams
Pertinent Information
There has been a movement around the state and in our GST BOCES region by some parents to
advocate for their right as parents to have their children “opt-out” of the New York State Testing
Program ELA and Math exams at grades 3-8. This movement has gained publicity through the
traditional media, i.e. a recent opt-ed in The Leader, and also on social media. Parent groups in the area
have also distributed flyers advocating with their fellow parents to “opt-out” of the testing program.
Evaluation/Analysis
As a public school there is not an option for us to allow students to opt-out of state exams and in fact
there are no provisions for “opting out” of the test in the testing manuals, only procedures for what to do
if a child refuses to take the tests.
There are many reason why we must test our students, the most fundamental being all public school are
required by federal governmental regulations to test at least 95% of a cohort/class of students. If a
district fails to test 95% of a cohort/class of students, the procedure in past years has been for the State
to place the district on a “needs improvement” list for three years. This requires the district to develop a
plan for addressing the deficiency and also to “set aside” 15% of the federal Title I grant to address this
deficiency.
The second major reason a district needs to administer tests is for the benefit of both the individual
student and the program. We do get back a good deal of standards based information on how individual
students did and also how our program performed. Student data is used to help address areas that a
student did poorly on. The data is also very helpful for us as we look across each grade level’s programs.
We look to see what skills our students performed at or above the state and regional average on and
what skills our students performed below the state and regional average on. Of course we use this
performance data to improve our program for the next year.
A final rationale for administering the exam is that teacher and principal APPR scores are tied to student
growth data on state exams. A student who refuses to take the exam unfairly deprives her/his teacher and
principal of that student’s growth score for the year.
To date, the District has not received any inquiries or formal requests from parents to opt-out of any
state tests. However, we need to be proactive in terms of how to manage this situation should it happen
and so have put together procedures should the situation arise, see attached chart.
The Board should be aware that some area districts have decided to provide an alternate location and
activity for students whose parents have directed their children to refuse to take the tests. This is a local
decision and in fact C-S could choose to do the same. However, we believe this could lead to a
significant problem for us as providing an alternate location and activity at some levels rewards non-
participation which may encourage other students to ask their parents to allow them to “opt out”.
Recommendation
Test administration procedures do not require Board action. However I wanted to consult with the Board
on such a sensitive issue. As you will note in the attached chart, our plan is to administer the test to all
students who report to school on the testing day or during the make-up period. A child who refuses will
remain in the testing room with the test in front of her/him until the first student finishes the exam. At
that time the student who refused may begin reading a book as our procedure has always been to allow
students to read once they finish the exam.
District: CAMPBELL-SAVONA CSD
Receipt of Letters What will your district’s action when you receive a letter requesting to opt out of state tests?
Make a contact with parent/attempt to meet with them in person in order to understand their concerns and to explain rationale for state testing
Students Absent During 3-8 Testing
If a student is kept home during the original testing days, do you intend to put the test in front of the student in the make-up window?
yes
If you intend to give the student the test during the make-up window, will you be notifying the parents that this would happen?
yes
Students Present During Testing
Who Requested To “Opt Out”
If a student comes to school on the days of 3-8 testing, but has requested to “opt out”, what will you do with the student?
Require s/he sit with test in testing location silently until first student taking test is finished and is therefore permitted to take out a book to read. At that time the student who refused may take out a book to read.
If you intend to provide an alternative activity for these students, what will it be?
N/A
If you intend to have them stay in the testing room, at what point will you collect their tests?
At the time the first student finishes.
Do you intend to allow students to read after their tests are collected?
yes
Principals/Proctors How are you preparing your principals? Proctors? Principals? Share information from H+S …discuss what and how to communicate with parents should a request be made and also specifics of proctor communication Proctors? Basically the above procedures along with need to take care that no direction or interactions with student refusing could be perceived as negative or judgmental
Out of District Students
How will you handle these requests from out of district students?
No difference this year but student would be denied enrollment next year as participation in the NYSTP 3-8 ELA and Math tests is required on non-resident contract
PTA Some PTAs are distributing information about opting out. How are you handling this?
Our groups have been supportive to date.
