Stutzman reviewed non-personnel categories where costs rose: transportation increases driven by higher summer-school and special-education transportation costs; a roughly 4% increase in BOCES instructional costs; and a notable 42% increase in career and technical education (CTE/OCAD) costs tied to an increase in participation (the district budgeted for 77 students but now estimates about 105). He said some textbook and curriculum purchases had been consolidated under single account codes and that the district will pre-purchase certain ELA materials to avoid losing current-year allocations.

The business office highlighted the district’s dependence on federal grant funding (about $1,336,000 in programs such as IDEA section 611 and 619, Title I, Title II, Title III and Title IV) and state program funds (universal pre-K, teacher center, mentor teacher). Stutzman told the board that if federal funds were reduced or eliminated, the district would either suspend services or the local taxpayer would have to cover them; he recommended relying on surplus carryover temporarily and building those changes into subsequent budgets if funding were lost.

The board was told the district engaged Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES for a transportation efficiency study to examine run patterns, fleet size and scheduling to identify potential savings. Board members asked whether the study would consider future bus technology (electric buses); staff said the study will focus on current efficiency and run timing and not on electrification planning.

Stutzman summarized the budget calendar: a revenues review and tax-cap calculation at the next board meeting (submission the following day), a personnel update on the following Wednesday, another update March 27, final budget review and tentative adoption April 10, public hearing May 6, and the budget vote and Board election May 20.

The board received the presentation as information; there was no formal vote to change the budget at this meeting. Members asked clarifying questions about contingency planning if federal funding changed and about the scope of the transportation study.","Business office staff presented updated non-personnel budget projections, federal and state grant exposures and rising costs in BOCES, transportation and career/tech programs; board was informed of a transportation efficiency study and upcoming budget calendar deadlines.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6329104,"Victor CSD outlines functions and outcomes of Learning Center; staff report declines in suspensions and continuing services",992,3013000,4005000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2316504-351e50ef10b37e7b8ed565be0b9d248c&start=3013&end=4005","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2316504-351e50ef10b37e7b8ed565be0b9d248c/thumbnail_3013000.jpg","/articles/6329104/New-York/Victor-CSD-outlines-functions-and-outcomes-of-Learning-Center-staff-report-declines-in-suspensions-and-continuing-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6329104-80671940f9416637711d4fc0b54d80a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144224&Signature=HGiW50l18Sa7mTYjY3bGxBbOqmMtrYwZubkKJWo2-daDkqx1ilQROVWgmBzPjhBfRTDjcmINcY~n4eK6oDsVC6AU7RO3QdC21qjkeP-wbo8XeyRseQiRHFJj1QH8K3GEy8UPutIqXVoQ~51JKw~OnxYuEMGRhzLfxAxZyx8Vzz7wLV~HQInpyDD--zlokOHfbArVpKhuBc-Xa7LqPWRgSSlyzdO9n4wnz4P5g-E1f1j7bq2eOykdATr~vmpDmnqg1SKTxgIDqFbYeZrbbLqO~mwN9HA8OzRs20b3evXIKk-YILdEhBVshzoDLsByL6~0DaLHh~5lN21aO8-vnZ9WJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff presented an update on the Victor Learning Center during the February 2025 Board of Education meeting, outlining the center’s purpose, staffing, services and early outcomes. The presenters described the center as a campus-based space for students who need short-term instructional continuity (for suspension, hospitalization or transition), professional development space for staff, and a volunteer-run in-house food pantry called the Spot Mart.

The presenters said the district purchased the building in 2022–23 to house in-district tutoring and related services that previously required outside contracts and long waiting lists. A full-time teacher and a full-time teacher assistant staff the center; the district said the teacher holds special-education certification and the assistant has a teaching certificate. Staff described three daily instructional blocks designed to meet regulation requirements for tutoring hours: 3 hours per day (15 per week) for grades 7–12 and 2 hours per day (10 per week) for younger students.

Presenters said the center served 98 students as of January 2024 and 78 students during the current year to date, and they attributed the decline to stronger tier-1 behavioral supports and early-identification practices in the buildings. The center provides breakfast and lunch for students who attend, and staff coordinate with transportation to offer flexible scheduling. District staff offered two anonymized student journeys as examples of how the center functions: one high-school student who attended morning classes and then tutoring in the afternoon to recover work in elective courses, and a younger student who used the middle instructional block and returned to their home building after a supported transition.

The Spot Mart pantry is volunteer-run and serves roughly 55–65 families; staff said distributions can be by delivery or pick-up. The district is working with architects on capital-project plans to convert the current space (formerly a YMCA) into a building with dedicated tutoring, professional-learning and pantry spaces.

Board members asked for clarification about staff certifications and the data trend; presenters confirmed the learning center teacher holds a special-education certification and the teacher assistant is certified in teaching. Board members applauded the “unsung heroes” who staff the center and encouraged administrators to request necessary capital funding to preserve and expand the program.

There was no formal action taken to change Learning Center operations at this meeting; the presentation was an informational update to the board.","District staff described the Victor Learning Center’s role in providing short- and long-term tutoring, transitional supports and an in-house food pantry; presenters said the center served 78 students this year and helped reduce suspensions by offering targeted interventions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6329108,"Victor student awarded New York State Liberty Medal after performing CPR on his father",487,504000,991000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2316504-351e50ef10b37e7b8ed565be0b9d248c&start=504&end=991","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2316504-351e50ef10b37e7b8ed565be0b9d248c/thumbnail_504000.jpg","/articles/6329108/New-York/Victor-student-awarded-New-York-State-Liberty-Medal-after-performing-CPR-on-his-father","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6329108-0e549ff2a3dc91bec1e726848b18ed20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144224&Signature=mC5HPVzg7JprnAyYOvPi0OIOAiIEtUuGKouOTojoPuwsLWbKhYxkr3tvVc1OMOBamIJ56GKM4VGOq5H18JflY8RT5kPtzL6vRY10jOyEDpH5IlESa95Gnhrrqz0CYNt4bzptuwhV7zKla1KfOoO8vVDl42cAbubtG3yfFxTAUch3hHwVnLenvRVXctcEVLhv9lKP3b0cu5ObwFIJoGzPaZUU2zu7oURY7pFzkIqstbHkkqXCUbsjoBYrwW3ifRApFiiUgrDueoPMJsWMS2q5Q6HAXdvnMBlTPb3mybElKq3d0zQtWCRdInfW50NoCouBfjSnj0PcI7n9UWgjsKkhCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jack Scribe, a Victor Central School District student, received the New York State Liberty Medal at the district’s February 2025 Board of Education meeting after performing several minutes of CPR on his father when he collapsed during a round of golf. The district and visiting state officials praised Scribe’s actions and used the moment to underscore the value of teaching life-saving skills in schools.

The presentation, which included statements from Superintendent Dr. Terranova and New York State Senator Pam Helming, described the incident: Scribe called 911 and performed CPR for “about 3 to 4 minutes” until first responders arrived. Dr. Terranova said the district and community were “so incredibly proud of you, Jack,” and credited the health and physical education staff for equipping students with these skills.

Senator Pam Helming, who traveled to Victor to present the award, told the board the Liberty Medal is reserved for “heroic or humanitarian acts on behalf of fellow New Yorkers.” Helming said she and her staff collected information about the incident and that the Senate approved the resolution awarding Scribe the medal. “It’s the highest civilian honor that the New York state senate can bestow upon an individual,” Helming said.

District leaders stressed that Scribe’s actions demonstrate the practical value of CPR instruction. Dr. Terranova thanked the health and physical education teachers and noted the district’s role in ensuring students learn life-saving techniques. Board members and the superintendent described the recognition as both a personal and community milestone, and the board invited Scribe and his family to the front of the meeting for the certificate presentation.

The board recorded the recognition publicly and invited the community to view the moment as an example of why district training programs are important. There was no policy action tied to the award; board members used the superintendent’s update time to emphasize continued advocacy for programs that support student safety and preparedness.

The board did not take any formal vote related to district-wide CPR instruction at this meeting; the remarks and the award were part of the agenda’s recognition segment.","Victor Central School District honored student Jack Scribe after he performed CPR on his father during a cardiac arrest; State Senator Pam Helming presented a Liberty Medal and district leaders highlighted CPR training in the curriculum.","actionData","errors"]
