Options to be considered through the study may include centralization, annexation, formal or informal sharing and cooperation arrangements between the Districts, any other changes that may be authorized by current law or amendments to the law, and no change from the current status.

The Boards of Education also have appointed each member to serve on one of three subcommittees. Each district has 5 Committee Members serving on each subcommittee. The three subcommittees are: The Educational Program Subcommittee; The Finance, Personnel, and Governance Subcommittee; and the Functional Services/Operations Subcommittee. (red, yellow, blue dots) 9 THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM SUBCOMMITTEE: This committee focuses on such topics as the K-12 instructional program for children including academic core subjects; special areas and advanced placement and college courses; co-curricular and extracurricular offerings; online, distance learning, and other technologically based instruction; BOCES programming; use of the existing school buildings; and other related program topics they identify. 9 THE FINANCE, PERSONNEL, AND GOVERNANCE SUBCOMMITTEE: This subcommittee focuses on many what if topics that would result depending on the directions the communities take about reorganization. Topics include: personnel, property tax information, state aid revenues, and costs associated with various models of how the district might reorganize. Additionally, information relative to how the new district could be restructured; the makeup of the new school board; process for reorganization; and timeline information in order to help the joint committee better understand the overall impact of a potential reorganization of the district are analyzed and reviewed. 9 THE FUNCTIONAL SERVICES/OPERATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE: This subcommittee focuses on such topics as pupil transportation; food service/cafeteria program; building operations and maintenance functions; school business functions and other related topics they identify. The Role of The SES Study Team (Paul Seversky, Doug Exley, and Sam Shevat): To organize and lead the study process; research, collect and organize various sets of data about the two school districts; listen to citizens and school personnel; document various points of view and perceptions about the data collected and analyzed by the Joint Community Advisory Committee; help ensure public transparency of the work of the study and data compiled; develop and prepare the study document. The SES Study Team will take no formal position about what each district should do or not do with regard to reorganization. The Study Report written by the Study Team-- in an unbiased fashion-- will identify opportunities and challenges that reorganization might provide the two districts.

Please set your cell phone to vibrate before we begin. Thank you.

Sub-committees, please sit together in groups of three or four. red dot, Education Committee yellow dot, Finance/Personnel Committee blue dot, Functional Support Services and Operations Committee (6:00-9:00) Paul, Doug and Sam will present three What if Pictures for review and discussion together this evening. They are: What if Picture of Pupil Transportatiion What if Picture of Program/Staffing What if Picture of Financials All of the pictures are based on the analysis and discussion by the Joint Community Advisory Committee of the various data sets researched and presented by the study process over the last six meetings of the Advisory Committee. The key factor that guides all the scenarios is the vision of the student program discussed by the Joint Community Advisory Committee in consultation with the various staff guests from both school districts since March. Please remember that the three documents present a draft roadmap and a framework to implement the overall student program in existing facilities in a financially prudent and responsible manner. The overriding focus at this stage is to make sure there is enough estimated resource in total to deliver a quality, comprehensive program by a reorganized school district in a responsible and financially prudent manner. In the end, how the estimated resources are used is up to the new district board of education and the community it serves. The What if picture of a financial plan gives a scenario of the financials related to providing the program resources described in the What if Program/Staffing Picture and the What if Pupil Transportation Plan in total. Specific detail decisions by the board of education at the time of reorganization about how to implement the resources to deliver the program (ex. number of counselors versus number of social workers or specific number of bus routes needed) may or may not follow the scenarios exactly as presented in the What if Pictures. - 22 -

Objective of the school districts:


The purpose of the feasibility study is to gather information and provide facts and recommendations to the Boards of Education of the Districts regarding the potential reorganization of one or both of the Districts. Options to be considered through the study may include centralization, annexation, formal or informal sharing and cooperation arrangements between the Districts, any other changes that may be authorized by current law or amendments to the law, and no change from the current status.

In addition, the specific work assignment of each type of professional and instructional support staff person is a program development task that is addressed if the reorganization process gets to the implementation stage. Next Step for the Study Team: Based on what we have learned with the Joint Community Advisory Committee since March, the Study Team will draft a study report. The study is sent to the State Education Department for their review and approval. As directed by SED, such a draft study is not a public document. After review and approval by the State Education Department of the study, the Study Team will arrange for public copies of the study and then host a community meeting in each of the two districts to present the findings of the study. After the community meeting presentations of the findings by the Study Team, the Boards of Education enter a phase over a few weeks for community meetings hosted by each Board to discuss the findings and to listen to community perceptions. After this public period, the Boards deliberate to decide if reorganization of the two school districts should be presented to each respective community for an advisory referendum (straw vote) that is a tool to judge interest by the communities to proceed to a binding referendum.

We sincerely thank you for your time, collaboration with each other, and your insights about the many sets of data we researched related to the possibility of a reorganization of Madison CS and Stockbridge Valley CS into one school district. We appreciate the hospitality extended to us as three guest outsiders to your communities as you worked on a very important public policy issue about how to serve the young people in both communities in the future.

DATA PURPOSE AND USE OF THE ENROLLMENT PROJECTION CALCULATIONS DATA This enrollment projection calculations study provides historical and current enrollment data and suggests enrollment projection scenarios based on the trending of patterns of historical data. A cohort survival statistic methodology is used. The calculations provide present and projected pupil enrollments based on different assumptions about the future. The study enables the school districts to comply with Commissioners Regulation Section 155.1. The Regulation requires long-range planning of program requirements, pupil capacity of existing facilities, and a plan for repair or modernization of facilities and/or provision for additional facilities to support the delivery of program. The Regulation outlines that planning for grades K-6 should be done with a five year view of future enrollments and a ten year view of future enrollments for grades 7-12. The enrollment estimates are projections and not predictions. All enrollment projections for years further in the future (plus five years) have inherent uncertainties because the assumptions on which they are based can be affected by changes in human behavior, by the economy, or by other events. The projections do offer a starting point for analyzing and understanding the elements of future school district demographic change. The enrollment projection study calculations combined with the values, intuition, and vision of school district officials and their communities can frame planning discussions as the school districts project their facilities, staffing and program needs into the future.

VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE FUTURE SCHOOL DISTRICT ENROLLMENTS The six sources of current and projected school district enrollment are: live births within the school district and their eventual kindergarten enrollment in the district; new household population with children who move to the district; new population who move to the district who are at child-bearing age and plan to begin a family; enrollment of students from non-public schools or from home schooling settings; school program and academic intervention changes that may increase the success of the school district in keeping existing enrollment as long as possible to culminate in high school graduation; a change by other public schools, if any, who tuition students to attend the school districts.

DATA BASIC ASSUMPTION GUIDING THE PROJECTION CALCULATIONS When using the Cohort Survival Statistic to project future enrollments, it is assumed that the following variables will continue in the future in a similar manner as they have since 2006 unless data are identified to the contrary:
9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9

the death rate of children the live birth rate migration of students both into and out of the district grade retention patterns residential construction and housing market increase or decrease of local employment opportunities dropout rate graduation rate private school enrollments number of non-residents enrolled on a tuition basis

If there are data to suggest that one or more of the variables listed above will not continue into the near future of the next five years in the same historical pattern, then the base Cohort Survival Statistic results are modified to estimate the potential impact the variable(s) may have on future school district enrollments. As of April 2012, there are no substantial data to suggest the expectation of significant new population sparked by a growing job market to the enrollment area of the two school districts, and/or a significant increase of new residential construction that could attract households with school-age children over the next five years. Also, the death rate of children, the rate of private school enrollments, and the few numbers of non-resident tuitioned enrollments are not expected to change significantly over the next five years. School program and academic intervention changes that may increase the success of the school districts in keeping existing enrollment as long as possible to culminate in high school graduation may be a variable that might influence future enrollments and should be analyzed if significant educational program opportunities are added and/or if academic support-intervention services are changed systemically. The variable of live births is integral to the methodology used to estimate future kindergarten enrollments. The enrollment projection calculations are baseline projections in that they analyze two of the six variables that may influence future enrollments: historic live birth patterns, and historic grade-level enrollments.

DATA METHODOLOGY TO PROJECT BASELINE ENROLLMENT FORECASTS Compilation of Data The study collects the following data to execute the cohort survival statistic to project baseline future enrollments of each school district: Student enrollments by grade level from 2006-2007 through 2011-2012 are compiled from data provided by district personnel. All enrolled children including special needs students, temporarily home-bound pupils, and non-resident tuitioned pupils regardless of instructional program are included in the calculations. Annual kindergarten class enrollments are compared to the total school district enrollment area live births five years earlier. Live birth numbers in the school district since 2002 as reported by the NYS Department of Health are analyzed.

Application of the Baseline Cohort Survival Statistic The cohort survival statistic identifies a percentage of survival ratio that describes the relationship of a grade level enrollment in a given year compared to the grade enrollment in the next lower grade from the previous year. If a ratio falls below 1.0, the ratio signifies that the enrollment of students in a grade level decreased or did not survive enrollment into the next grade level of the next year. If a ratio rises above 1.0, the ratio then signifies new enrollment has moved to the district or a significant change in grade-tograde promotion policy.

Calculating the survival ratios from 2006-2007 through 2011-2012 for each of the grade enrollments provides the basis for a set of average grade-to-grade survival ratios that can be used to estimate future baseline grade enrollments in the Madison and Stockbridge Valley school districts.

Limitations of the Calculations Study


Future enrollments are positively affected by: Added births in the district and the resulting added kindergarten enrollments. The reductions in private school/home school/charter school enrollments The increase in the enrollment retention of students through grade 12 as completers of a diploma program. A robust employment market that can attract new residents with children and/or who are at childbearing age. A robust housing market that can attract new residents with children and/ or who are at childbearing age. Increased enrollment of tuitioned students from other school districts. Custom tools and research to aid a school district in defining a vision and - 29 decision options for serving students in the future.

DATA Similarly, future enrollment projections can be negatively affected by the antitheses of the same variables. Therefore, the enrollment projection estimates should be revisited and updated yearly if there are any major changes in: the assumptions that base the methodology of this study; the annual live birth data for the district; major shifts in the housing market and employment market opportunities from what has been expected; changes in the educational program offered; and/or changes in the non-public school, charter school, or out of school district enrollments by residents of the school districts; or major immediate changes to the numbers of pupils tuitioned from other school districts. The Enrollment Projection Calculations provide sets of estimates about future K-12 enrollments ranging from low to high based on defined assumptions and historical patterns of population and enrollment data. It is suggested that the Boards of Education, the school district leadership team and the respective communities discuss the projection scenarios and come to consensus about what the school district and the community believe about the local futurewill the glass be filled, half filled or half empty? with regard to such items as increased numbers of pupils completing graduation, new residential construction, the existing residential market, new population to the district, and increased jobs within commuting distance of the district.

E. KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT FORECASTS Estimating future kindergarten enrollments is the most speculative aspect of projecting K-12 enrollments. However, analyzing historical annual kindergarten enrollments in concert with historical annual live birth data and patterns do reveal a set of defendable estimates of future kindergarten enrollments. These estimated future kindergarten enrollments then can be included in the base cohort survival statistic application to project future K-12 enrollments. Historical kindergarten enrollments of the two school districts and historical live birth data are analyzed three ways. The three analyses form the basis for three kindergarten enrollment forecasts for each school district. The three kindergarten forecasts are used to develop Low, Mid, and a High K-12 enrollment projection calculations for the Madison and Stockbridge Valley school districts. The nomenclature of low, mid, and high is determined by the estimated total K-6 enrollment five years from now consistent with the planning guidelines in NYS Commissioners Regulation 155.1.

DATA The three kindergarten enrollment forecasts for each school district are estimated from the analysis of the historical patterns of live births, kindergarten enrollments, and the ratios of how many pupils enroll in kindergarten compared to the number who were born five years earlier in the boundaries of the school district.

One forecast assumes that the overall kindergarten enrollment-to-live-birth ratio for the years 2007 through 2011 is an historically based ratio that is possible to expect in the future. It also assumes that the historical pattern of live births over the past nine years is possible to expect in the future. A second forecast assumes that the historical pattern of the kindergarten enrollment-to-live-birth ratios for the years 2007 through 2011 may continue into the future. It also assumes that the historical pattern of live births over the past six years is possible to expect in the future. The third forecast assumes that future kindergarten enrollments will follow the pattern of kindergarten enrollments from 2006 through 2011 without reference to live birth trends or kindergarten-to-live-birth ratio patterns.

BASELINE K-12 ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS FOR THE TWO SCHOOL DISTRICTS Tables 7A, B, and C in the Figures, Tables, Charts Attachment present Low, Mid, and High range K-12 enrollment projections calculated using forecasted future kindergarten enrollments and the cohort survival statistic. Each calculation is based on historical K-12 enrollments as reported by the school district for each of the school years 2006-2007 through 2011-2012. The historical enrollment data are used to calculate percentage of survival ratios for each grade level K-12. The ratios quantify the rate of change in number of students in a particular grade level compared to the number of students in the next higher grade level in the following year. The survival ratios are averaged for each grade level from 2006-2007 through 2011-2012. The six-year average ratios for each grade level are used to calculate estimated future grade 1-12 enrollments through 2021-22.

Data: Federal Census 2006-2010 Demographic Estimates for Discussion by Community Advisory Committees

SOURCE OF DATA: Federal Census Bureau 2006-2010 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates Page 1: Selected Demographic Estimates (Sex and Age, Race, Housing Units..) Page 3: Selected Social Characteristics (Education, Marital Status, Relationships, Grandparents..) Page 6: Selected Economic Characteristics (Income, Occupation, Commuting to Work..) Page 9: Selected Housing Characteristics (Occupancy and Structure, Housing Value..)
To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau applies statistical procedures that introduce some uncertainty into data for geographic areas with small population groups. The data in this table contain sampling error and nonsampling error. Each demographic characteristic has a corresponding Margin of Error. The margin of error is the difference between an estimate and its upper or lower confidence bound. All American Community Survey margins of error are based on a 90 percent confidence level. The margins of error are not reported in this discussion tool due to space considerations. The demographic estimates are reported here to encourage community discussion about possible similarities and differences in characteristics of the Madison and Stockbridge Valley school districts. The compilation of the Census data is to help the community and school leaders discuss and suggest insights about the school districts and the communities they serve as part of the long-term planning effort of the school districts. Additional information on the design and methodology of the American Community Survey, including data collection and processing, can be found at: http://www.census.gov/acs/www/methodology/methodology main/

Madison and Stockbridge Valley Central School Districts FINANCIAL CONDITION CHARACTERISTICS

School District financial health is dependent on a number of issues. In the current economic environment the school district needs to be able to absorb State Aid decreases and increasing expenditures while maintaining a sound educational program.

Some indicators of financial health that are used to evaluate a school districts condition are as follows:

Fund balance, including reserves Excess of revenues over expenditures How reliant is the school district on State aid? Excess appropriation of fund balance Comparison of budgeted revenues and expenditures to actual School Lunch subsidies? Status of tax certiorari or any litigation outstanding

SOME OVERALL MAJOR OBSERVATIONS:

Both districts maintain fund balance by not automatically spending all of approved appropriations. Both districts have excess revenues compared to budgeted expenditures within a 5 to 10% range which is acceptable. Madisons annual expense for retiree health insurance is about 72% higher than it is for Stockbridge Valley. Both districts are comparable (within 3%) in expenses for general support, instruction and employee benefits. Both districts combined receive about $110,000 in wind power payments annually. Stockbridge has an ongoing cooperative fuel purchase arrangement with the Town. Both districts have similar total reserves to offset future expenditures and/or reductions in state aid ($2.2 million for Madison; $2.1 million for Stockbridge Valley). Both districts each have about $1 million of unrestricted fund balance. However, in the 2012-2013 budget, Madison appropriated $380 thousand to reduce taxes; and Stockbridge appropriated $650 thousand to reduce taxes. This pattern may not be sustainable if all of the expenditures of an approved budget in a given year are expended. Both districts are highly dependent on State Aid Revenues. (63% by Madison; 73% by Stockbridge Valley) Both districts have self-sustaining school lunch funds that do not require general fund expenditure to keep solvent.

TEACHER CONTRACT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO CLASS SIZE Madison CS There are no specific sections of Board Policy or clauses/pages in the contract with the Faculty Association.

Stockbridge Valley CS Page 9H of the contract with the Stockbridge Valley Teacher Association states: The class size for each elementary teacher should not exceed 25 pupils per class. If the average class size for an elementary grade level exceeds 25, an aide will be made available to assist those classroom teachers affected for a period of time deemed reasonable by those teachers. Page 9I of the contract with the Stockbridge Valley Teacher Association states: The class size for each instructional period in Grades 7-12 should not exceed 30 pupils with supervisory periods limited to 40 pupils per teacher. The District realizes these numbers to be excessive for optimum educational achievement, and will strive to keep the classes below these levels.

DATA

SOURCE OF DATA: Inventory of each instructional and instructional support space by each principal/superintendent based on how the space is used to deliver the kindergarten through grade twelve educational program in 2011-2012. Classrooms used to deliver pre-kindergarten and pre-school are also included. ASSUMPTIONS: The method and assumptions for estimating pupil capacity per existing school building for potential use by a reorganized school district includes: 9 The pupil capacity analysis is based on delivering instruction with the following class
size goals: Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-School) 18 pupils Kindergarten and grade 1: 20 pupils Grades 2 and 3: 22 pupils Grades 4, 5, and 6: 24 pupils Grades 7-12: 25 pupils (Note: Often for specialized Grades 7-12 courses, it is likely that the class sizes for such specialized courses may be between 10-(or fewer pupils as approved by the board)-and 25 pupils. During other instructional periods of the day, it is likely a classroom will host class sizes near the 25 pupil number for other courses less specialized.) Spaces now designated for instructional support are generally assumed to continue for instructional support. Pre-kindergarten and pre-school are assumed to continue to be a part of the program. State Education Department guidelines are applied in calculating the number of pupils that a specific type of classroom should serve. Unassigned pupil capacity is planned for in each school building to allow for flexibility in delivering the program and/or to add an instructional support function or additional programs not now in place. The analysis, at the present time, does not include renting classrooms to the BOCES to host consortium shared programs. Current spaces used for central administration are not re-claimed for instructional program pupil capacity at this time. It is assumed for this pupil capacity analysis that there are no renovations to change existing space or the building of new additional space.

DATA

The Building Condition Survey (BCS) is a facility review process to be conducted every five years as required by the New York State Education Department. A licensed architect or engineer has completed the survey for each of the buildings within the two school districts of the study. There are 114 items on the survey. The various categories of items include questions about: Space adequacy Site utilities and features Substructure (ex. foundation) Building envelope Interior spaces Plumbing Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems Fire safety systems Accessibility Environment/comfort/health Indoor air quality Relation with the American Red Cross and emergency shelter use

The information listed above is a summary of examples obtained from the Building Condition Surveys (BCS) completed during the 2010-11 school year as prepared by the architects and forwarded to SED by the Districts. For a complete Building Condition Survey that was filed with the SED, please contact the respective district office. Please note that it is possible that some of these items may have been addressed by the district after the BCS was filed.

The items of the Building Condition Survey are rated by the engineer/architect using the following scale:

Excellent: Satisfactory: Unsatisfactory: Non-Functioning:

Critical Failure:

System is in new or like-new condition and functioning optimally; only routine maintenance and repair is needed. System functioning reliably; routine maintenance and repair needed. System is functioning unreliably or has exceeded its useful life. Repair or replacement of some or all components is needed. System is non-functioning, not functioning as designed, or is unreliable in ways that could endanger occupant health and/or safety. Repair or replacement of some or all components is needed. Same at non-functioning with the addition that the condition of at least one component is so poor that at least part of the building or grounds should not be occupied pending needed repairs/replacement or some or all components is needed

Labor Relations Implications Of School District Reorganization (August, 2012) The following information is based on guidance materials from the State Education Department and general principles of public sector employment law. This document does not contain legal advice and should not be considered a legal opinion. For legal advice, the districts should contact their respective attorney counsels. 1. Q: If two or more school districts reorganize into one school district, what happens to the employees of the former school districts? Each teacher employed by a former school district becomes an employee of the new school district. Employees appointed pursuant to the Civil Service Law by a former school district may have varying rights in the new school district, depending on their civil service class (competitive, non-competitive, labor, etc.). 2. Q: What happens to the collective bargaining agreements of the former school districts? The contracts end. The terms of those agreements may become elements of new agreements with the new school district. The new school district and the new bargaining units bargaining agents must make a good faith effort to negotiate new collective bargaining agreements. While new collective bargaining agreements are negotiated, the provisions of the previous contracts are used by the new district. 3. Q: What happens to the seniority rights of teachers? Teachers are credited with seniority earned within a particular tenure area. When school districts centralize, the seniority lists are merged so that the new school district has only one seniority list per tenure area. 4. Q: What happens to the seniority rights of employees appointed pursuant to the Civil Service Law? Competitive class employees are credited with seniority in accordance with the Civil Service Law. Other employees may have seniority rights set forth in their collective bargaining agreements. 5. Q: What happens if the new school district needs fewer teachers? The Board of Education of the new school district may reduce teaching positions on the basis of seniority within a particular tenure area. If a teaching position is abolished, the affected individual is placed on a preferred eligible list for a period of seven years.

6. Q:

What happens if the new school district needs fewer civil service employees? The Board of Education of the new school district may reduce competitive class positions on the basis of seniority as set forth in the Civil Service Law. Current collective agreements that cover civil service employees may have additional reduction in force references.

7. Q:

What happens to the administrators of the former school districts? Although the guidance materials from the State Education Department specifically reference the seniority rights of teachers only, there is some reason to believe the seniority rights of school administrators may be

handled in a similar manner. In addition, since school administrator tenure areas may vary from district to district, the actual impact of these rights by individual job title/role is a case-by-case analysis. 8. Q: What happens to the superintendents of the former school districts? Superintendents of the former districts do not have any statutory rights to that position in the new district. The new school district board of education may select its own new superintendent. When the superintendent of a district included in the reorganization has a current employment contract, that contract becomes an obligation of the newly reorganized school district. If the newly reorganized district determines not to employ the superintendent of a former school district, the new district may discharge the contractual obligation by paying the salary which he or she would have earned, less any income obtained from employment elsewhere during the term of the contract. 9. Q: What happens to the retirement benefits of the employees of the former school districts? Retirement benefits associated with the retirement system remain unchanged. Retirement benefits associated with an employment contract or collective bargaining agreement are governed by the terms of the employment contract or collective bargaining agreement. Individuals who are already retired from a school district may have certain retiree health insurance protections contained in Chapter 504 of the Laws of 2009. Chapter 504 prohibits reduction of health insurance for retirees and their dependents unless there is a corresponding reduction of benefits or contributions for the corresponding group of active employees. 10. Q: Are there other considerations relating to labor relations? When two or more school districts reorganize into a new school district, it is possible that the local bargaining units are represented by different bargaining agents. It is important for the school districts and local bargaining units to work with their labor relations experts.

Working tool of the Community Advisory Committees to identify and review various options to deliver the Pre-K through Grade 12 program in a reorganized school district.

ASSUMPTIONS: The method and assumptions for estimating pupil capacity per existing school building for potential use by a reorganized school district includes: 9 The pupil capacity analysis is based on delivering instruction with the following class size goals:
Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-School) 18 pupils Kindergarten and grade 1: 20 pupils Grades 2 and 3: 22 pupils Grades 4, 5, and 6: 24 pupils Grades 7-12: 25 pupils (Note: Often for specialized Grades 7-12 courses, it is likely that the class sizes for such specialized courses may be between 10-(or fewer pupils as approved by the board)-and 25 pupils. During other instructional periods of the day, it is likely a classroom will host class sizes near the 25 pupil number for other courses less specialized.) Spaces now designated for instructional support are generally assumed to continue for instructional support. Pre-kindergarten and pre-school are assumed to continue to be a part of the program. State Education Department guidelines are applied in calculating the number of pupils that a specific type of classroom should serve. Unassigned pupil capacity is planned for in each school building to allow for flexibility in delivering the program and/or to add an instructional support function or additional programs not now in place. The analysis, at the present time, does not include renting classrooms to the BOCES to host consortium shared programs. Current spaces used for central administration are not re-claimed for instructional program pupil capacity at this time. It is assumed for this pupil capacity analysis that there are no renovations to change existing space or the building of new additional space.

Teacher Day currently begins: 7:40 8:00 Length of Teacher Day: 7 hours and 20 minutes 7 hours and 16 minutes Preliminary Framework Plan for School Day Times, Transportation Times, and Bus Run Resources in a Reorganization of the Districts into One Assumptions: 9 All Pre-K through grade 5 pupils attend the elementary school within the original school district attendance zone. However, parents who wish to have their elementary children attend an elementary school of the newly reorganized school district that is closer to their home may request that attendance at their discretion. 9 The goal is to reduce the current longest ride of a child on a bus which is 60 minutes. 9 Smaller (less than 66 passenger) buses will probably be used to transport pupils who currently live at the most outer limits of the current school district geographic boundaries. 9 All pupils receive bus transportation in the two districts currently. The assumption is that the same service is provided in a reorganized school district. The current practice of door-to-door and/or centralized pick up points is expected to continue contingent on pupil safety considerations and characteristics at specific locations. 9 It is expected that the reorganized school district continues the current practice of helping families as well as they can with transportation to day care locations depending upon the number of available seats on specific bus routes. 9 It is suggested that existing routes with existing drivers be provided for at least the first year (or longer) of the reorganized district. Starting for year 2, study if there can be some combining of routing where boundaries of the two attendance zones are very close and/or redevelopment of some routes will reduce time for pupils to be on a bus. 9 It is a goal to ensure arrival and departure of Vocational Technical students at the BOCES center in Verona is closer to arrival and departure times of other students from other school districts thus maximizing the instructional time available at the Vocational Center for students. Please note that outlined below is one possible comprehensive scenario to provide transportation in a reorganized school district taking into account the assumptions listed above.

Another transportation scenario includes the creation of all new routes across the total geographical area that would be served by the combining of Madison and Stockbridge Valley. Such a second scenario is suggested to be reviewed during the first 12 months of the new school district.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SCHOOL DISTRICT REORGANIZATION
Question #1: What happens when the study is completed? Answer#1: Upon completion, the draft study is then forwarded to the State Education Department (SED) for review. After review by the department (two-three weeks) the study is returned to the consultants to make any changes as recommended by SED. Once finalized, a community meeting is scheduled in each school district when the findings of the study are presented by the SES Study Team. Question #2: What do the Boards have to do next? Answer #2: After the presentation of the findings of the study, each Board decides how to provide a series of meetings and opportunities for the communities to discuss the findings with the respective Boards over a series of weeks. SED enters the process at this time. After the public comment/discussion period, each Board decides by vote to move forward, or not, with an advisory referendum (straw vote) by each community. If both Boards vote to go to an advisory referendum within each community, the straw vote is scheduled. If either Board chooses not to have an advisory referendum, the study process ends. Question #3: If there is an advisory referendum in both communities, what is the next step after the vote? Answer #3: If either community advises no in the 'straw' vote, the study process ends. If both communities in the straw vote advises yes, then each Board decides whether to go to a formal or 'statutory referendum' of the community or not. If one Board decides not to proceed to a formal vote, the study process ends. Both Boards, by formal resolution and through supporting documentation from the BOCES District Superintendent, may request the Commissioner to authorize the formation of a new centralized district. The Commissioners Order laying out the new district is posted in the respective districts. Next, the Boards submit Statutory Petitions requesting the Commissioner to call a special meeting to vote on the proposed centralization. The State Education Department guides the Boards over the next series of steps. There are two petitions: A) Petition signed by 100 qualified voters (or 10% of the student enrollment of the proposed combined district) requesting Commissioner to call a special meeting of the combined district to vote on centralization. B) Second Petition signed by 100 qualified voters (or 10% of the student enrollment) for each district to be designated as a special election district requesting the Commissioner establish an alternative voting site in each such district. The Commissioner then issues an order calling for a special meeting in each district for a 'statutory referendum.' Legal notices must be provided regarding the special vote and information must be provided for absentee ballots. The referendum is then held in each district voting on the centralization proposition, the number of board members to serve in each district and the term of office of the members. The referendum must pass in both districts in order for the process to continue. Question #4: What happens next, assuming a positive vote to reorganize occurs? Answer #4: The Commissioner orders a special meeting to be held to elect a new Board of Education. Notice is posted at least 10 days prior to vote. Candidates for the new Board obtain petitions through the

APPENDIX BOCES District Superintendent. The District Superintendent determines placement on the ballots for voting and absentee ballots are prepared. The special meeting is held to elect the new Board of Education of the newly centralized district. Question #5: When does the new district begin business? Answer #5: This happens very quickly. The BOCES District Superintendent holds an organizational meeting; members take oath of office and prepare for new school year. Of most importance is the development of the budget and holding a special meeting to vote on the new budget. The new district officially begins operation on July 1, 2014. Question #6: What if one of the districts voted not to centralize? How would this affect the other district and could they still move forward? Answer #6: If one of the districts decided not to move forward, the reorganization process is terminated. Question #7: How long can the study be used if there is an initial negative vote? Answer #7: If the two districts decided to move forward at a later date, the study is usually considered useable by the districts for one year.

GOVERNANCE
The following are excerpts from a Guide to the Reorganization of School Districts in New York State. A complete version can be found at: http://www.p12.nysed.gov/mgtserv/sch_dist_org/GuideToReorganizationOfSchoolDistricts.htm CENTRALIZATION OF DISTRICTS AND GOVERNANCE This form of reorganization has been the most common. The procedures for centralization provide that a new school district be created encompassing the entire area of the school districts to be merged. The new central district becomes operational only after the centralization order is approved by the qualified voters in each school district included in the centralization. If each district approves the order by a majority vote, the new district will begin operation on July 1, following the vote. If approval of the order is defeated in any district included in the proposed centralization, the new district is not created, and the question may not be voted upon again for one year. If the order is presented a second time, and is approved, the new district begins operation. If the order is defeated a second time or if it is not brought to referendum within two years of the initial referendum then the original order becomes null and void. New Board of Education for the New District: The new district is governed by a board of education comprising five, seven or nine members. The new board is elected at a special meeting called by the Commissioner of Education after the new district is approved at referendum. The number of board members (5,7 or 9) and their term of office (3,4 or 5 years) may be voted upon at the same time as the referendum on establishing the district, or may be decided at a separate meeting. The boards of education of the districts included in the centralization continue their responsibilities until the new district begins operation and the business affairs of their former districts have been completed, usually August 1.

APPENDIX
Labor Relations Implications Of School District Reorganization (August, 2012) The following information is based on guidance materials from the State Education Department and general principles of public sector employment law. This document does not contain legal advice and should not be considered a legal opinion. For legal advice, the districts should contact their respective attorney counsels. 1. Q: If two or more school districts reorganize into one school district, what happens to the employees of the former school districts? Each teacher employed by a former school district becomes an employee of the new school district. Employees appointed pursuant to the Civil Service Law by a former school district may have varying rights in the new school district, depending on their civil service class (competitive, non-competitive, labor, etc.). 2. Q: What happens to the collective bargaining agreements of the former school districts? The contracts end. The terms of those agreements may become elements of new agreements with the new school district. The new school district and the new bargaining units bargaining agents must make a good faith effort to negotiate new collective bargaining agreements. While new collective bargaining agreements are negotiated, the provisions of the previous contracts are used by the new district. 3. Q: What happens to the seniority rights of teachers? Teachers are credited with seniority earned within a particular tenure area. When school districts centralize, the seniority lists are merged so that the new school district has only one seniority list per tenure area. 4. Q: What happens to the seniority rights of employees appointed pursuant to the Civil Service Law? Competitive class employees are credited with seniority in accordance with the Civil Service Law. Other employees may have seniority rights set forth in their collective bargaining agreements. 5. Q: What happens if the new school district needs fewer teachers? The Board of Education of the new school district may reduce teaching positions on the basis of seniority within a particular tenure area. If a teaching position is abolished, the affected individual is placed on a preferred eligible list for a period of seven years.

6. Q:

What happens if the new school district needs fewer civil service employees? The Board of Education of the new school district may reduce competitive class positions on the basis of seniority as set forth in the Civil Service Law. Current collective agreements that cover civil service employees may have additional reduction in force references.

7. Q:

What happens to the administrators of the former school districts?

APPENDIX
Although the guidance materials from the State Education Department specifically reference the seniority rights of teachers only, there is some reason to believe the seniority rights of school administrators may be handled in a similar manner. In addition, since school administrator tenure areas may vary from district to district, the actual impact of these rights by individual job title/role is a case-by-case analysis. 8. Q: What happens to the superintendents of the former school districts? Superintendents of the former districts do not have any statutory rights to that position in the new district. The new school district board of education may select its own new superintendent. When the superintendent of a district included in the reorganization has a current employment contract, that contract becomes an obligation of the newly reorganized school district. If the newly reorganized district determines not to employ the superintendent of a former school district, the new district may discharge the contractual obligation by paying the salary which he or she would have earned, less any income obtained from employment elsewhere during the term of the contract. 9. Q: What happens to the retirement benefits of the employees of the former school districts? Retirement benefits associated with the retirement system remain unchanged. Retirement benefits associated with an employment contract or collective bargaining agreement are governed by the terms of the employment contract or collective bargaining agreement. Individuals who are already retired from a school district may have certain retiree health insurance protections contained in Chapter 504 of the Laws of 2009. Chapter 504 prohibits reduction of health insurance for retirees and their dependents unless there is a corresponding reduction of benefits or contributions for the corresponding group of active employees. 10. Q: Are there other considerations relating to labor relations? When two or more school districts reorganize into a new school district, it is possible that the local bargaining units are represented by different bargaining agents. It is important for the school districts and local bargaining units to work with their labor relations experts.

The SES Study Team focuses its work on customized studies that deal with identifying opportunities to provide quality educational programs more effectively and in a cost-effective manner. The major areas of the Teams services are school reorganization through centralization analyses, and the identification and analysis of collaborative functional sharing opportunities between school districts. The SES Study Team, in an impartial manner, provides research, direction and facilitation through a guided process. The study process emphasizes a data-driven analysis and community involvement to identify possible options to serve pupils in the future.

The common elements followed by the Team to achieve customized studies include:
A focus on answering a set of questions by school district and community stakeholders; Inclusion of, and sensitivity to, all points of view from the communities involved; An approach that begins with the collection of data, a review of major findings, sharing of perceptions, recommendations based upon challenges and opportunities, and the modeling of potential options; The central role of school district instructional, instructional support, and administrative staff in providing comprehensive data for the study to use to answer the study question(s) posed by the client district(s); Public transparency of the work and data developed, compiled, and analyzed by the Study Team; The creation of a study report that becomes the prime useable tool by members of the communities as they decide how best to educate their children in the future. The Study Team brings a combined 105 years of public education experience to working with and helping school districts identify options in serving pupils and their communities. Each team member has served as a teacher, principal and superintendent of a K-12 school district. Doug and Sam each has served as a superintendent of a reorganized district through centralization. Paul has served as a superintendent of a district that explored reorganization and in a regional capacity as a Deputy District Superintendent of a BOCES. Sam has worked for a college to administer programs for public school pupils; Paul has taught graduate level courses in educational administration for 23 years; and Doug serves as a council member at a local university. The Study Team Members have provided consultant services to public school districts since 1998.
