During the Cooperstown Central
School Board of Education meeting
last week, BOE President Anthony
Scalici revealed that the district has
offered the superintendent position
to Hudson Falls principal C.J. Hebert.
Scalici announced that the district
has offered Hebert the position as
its new superintendent pending the
successful negotiation of a contract.
He said the board anticipates
making a formal appointment at its
meeting on April 7. It is anticipated
that Hebert will begin work on July
1, according to Scalici.
Superintendent Mary Jo McPhail,
who has been at CCS for 12 years,
will be retiring at the end of the
school year.
During the second presentation
of the 2010-11 budget, McPhail
said a few revisions have been
made reducing the overall budget
by 2.75 percent, from $16,252,158
to $16,093,415. The new proposed
budget total shows a reduction
of $158,743 compared to the first
proposed draft.
According to McPhail, the additional
reductions made include the
reduction of JV baseball due to lack
of enrollment, a series of extra curricular
advisors that will not impact
the current offerings and removing
the purchase of a bus to a separate
proposition that will be voted on
by the public during the same time
as the proposed budget. McPhail
said board members decided not
to rejoin the New York State School
Board Association, so the district will
no longer have to pay the dues for
that. Salary adjustments have also
been made to accommodate a retirement
and a staff member who will be
remaining, said McPhail.
The technology program was given
another look and McPhail said a decision
was made to continue to offer
the three most popular courses based
on enrollment on a part-time basis.
The changes will impact the average
tax levy by about 7.2 percent,
according to McPhail.
The board went into executive
session to discuss additional matters
regarding staff. Scalici said the second
presentation of the proposed budget
does not represent anything that was
said during executive discussion.
According to Scalici, the meeting
was held to discuss personnel and to
investigate unanswered questions.
No final decisions were made, he said.
The board plans to adopt the proposed
budget on April 7. A hearing
will take place on May 5 and members
of the community will have the
chance to vote on Tuesday, May 18
from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Sterling
Auditorium.
