A district presenter said the board had identified 42 potential community partners and that staff would narrow that list to a working group of about 15–25 people. The group would serve as an advisory body to the board and superintendent, brainstorming ideas for revenue beyond state aid and taxes and suggesting ways community organizations, colleges, BOCES and businesses might partner to reduce costs or enhance student experiences.
Staff said they will contact the names submitted by board members and invite attendees; the group will be finalized in the coming weeks and the first meeting is targeted for early August so the advisory group can begin offering ideas before the board’s August meeting. The board will decide whether one or two board members will serve on the working group.
District staff characterized the effort as an advisory, community-engagement initiative rather than a formal referendum or budget action; further options would be brought to the board for decision if they required formal approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 10th 2025 VCS BOE Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","District leaders reported that expenses are outpacing revenues and outlined plans to assemble a 15–25 member community advocacy group from an initial list of 42 potential partners to advise on revenue options and community partnerships.","taxTitle","VICTOR CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",60746,"location","New York","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6174324,"Audit committee presents IT asset audit and New York State-required internal control report; corrective actions approved",232,1299000,1531000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2&start=1299&end=1531","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2/thumbnail_1299000.jpg","/articles/6174324/New-York/Audit-committee-presents-IT-asset-audit-and-New-York-State-required-internal-control-report-corrective-actions-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174324-ccfa26174d453fc6abe8be5e49e72de4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771017398&Signature=Aau9yYhjl4aXHrSdc3rfoAokVSpPL--WASYMtmqPbzGoDEY1yyVYcgZ-5brnLBlG0OGHIFKfoK2~1ql8gp6gZQFYbRGTSc-ChaNqaI-SCBstxHkhWW3vCGi31m5xQJ8RG~8~PAhW-50QvMpmf5mLVKe-CppPPgV~ZmfA4uo7ghmWr4ReFD58MDlYbNgZ30n1j2x7PbjzLcjtOhFqNSNPbE6XsgvHPwiJAffGK4VqpcltkN06u--JqzVpAtpBEwHkkGHzZ0B8DGV0ngDUPiVgPNhO1Y4HDqQQ9AGrrZwbblprb1w8QZml-kzaPB6vSxQzGFDGGgNQ-fLvNZBU7bwfxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board received two audit-related reports and approved associated corrective action plans as part of the consent agenda: the 2023–24 IT Asset Management Audit and the 2024–25 Internal Control Risk Assessment required by the New York State Comptroller, district staff said.
Christine Griffin, who presented the materials, said the IT audit focused on device location and software inventory. EFPR Group conducted the audit with the district’s audit committee. The auditors sampled 50 devices and initially could not locate three loaner items; Griffin said the items were subsequently found and that auditors recommended adding cost and expected lifespan fields to the asset database to improve tracking. The district’s corrective action plan calls for tighter tracking of loaner items and more diligent oversight of device records.
On the internal control risk assessment—the annual report the transcript identifies as required by the New York State Comptroller—Griffin described recommendations that the Transportation Director approve department time reporting and that the district convert the transportation department to an electronic timekeeping system that includes built-in approvals. The district also intends to have the transportation director review parts inventory conducted by mechanics.
The audit committee discussed potential focus areas for the 2024–25 cycle, including extracurricular fundraising oversight and a possible transportation audit in light of driver shortages and operational impacts. Griffin said the committee asked district staff to clarify what falls within the district’s auditable scope—financial activity the district controls versus external organizations whose internal finances are beyond district audit authority. The board approved the two reports and corrective action plans as part of the consent vote recorded in the meeting.","District staff reported two audit products—a 2023–24 IT Asset Management Audit and the 2024–25 internal control risk assessment required by the New York State Comptroller—with recommendations and corrective action plans the board accepted as part of the consent agenda.",{"_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},6174327,"Board approves rewritten code of conduct (Policy 5300) emphasizing prevention and clarity",312,2711000,3023000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2&start=2711&end=3023","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2/thumbnail_2711000.jpg","/articles/6174327/New-York/Board-approves-rewritten-code-of-conduct-Policy-5300-emphasizing-prevention-and-clarity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174327-4708d9127e830d980ad0f7418995d987/orig.mp4?Expires=1771017398&Signature=Lp9YwD81xiMxmt0qAQqawQfBMwy6fBla-5SPdg1VmCV2FkNYbirhbEZlvkweKFqHZP6yh-15I3GJgEl~VnrwJCt3buB8IE670L0bA0aHoru7-FeS~OYCLvhOFnbdlGIqlkTMe3FjCN3ndUTUucv3P8513JAkZcPu5hZ63gpWKIpMrVOHrDTB0HaXHFaf5sGcw6eA-XTvXevEQnbbf5J9gPBbGrlGjFjUzGEpGei8EDWGABtg0ZvpuGsKoMUMJpGc8qhOGCty3RhuWlsK6plRFtbDblPbilie4EE74~rTckgi6izFtqhe0RoUTiMWfhDBOg5ODKKrhtbpHe~4oRDyfg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Victor Central School District Board of Education approved a revised Code of Conduct (Policy 5300) that district staff said reorganizes disciplinary expectations, emphasizes preventive measures and makes the document more accessible to students and families.
Karen Fenter, assistant superintendent for instruction, presented the draft revisions and said the district council undertook a multi-month review, comparing other districts’ codes and incorporating feedback from dignity act coordinators, building administrators, teachers and building councils. She said the changes are intended to use plain language, add graphics for readability, front-load the purpose and shared responsibilities, and relocate definitions to an appendix.
One substantive reorganization moves away from a long list of prohibited behaviors toward a framework organized by levels of concern, misconduct, interventions and responses. Fenter told the board this structure is intended to align behavioral responses with developmentally appropriate interventions and the district’s equity and inclusion plan. District staff also said they reviewed and updated language to align with current law and policy for physical restraint and visitor practices.
The board moved to approve Policy 5300; a motion to adopt the code was made by Timothy Delucia, seconded by Carol Prescott, and the motion carried. The transcript records an affirmative vote without recorded opposition or abstention.
District staff said the revised code aims to clarify expectations, improve accessibility for families and provide a more proactive framework for both prevention and response to behavioral concerns.","The board approved a revised Victor Central School District Code of Conduct (Policy 5300) that reorganizes disciplinary language around levels of concern and includes Dignity Act information and updated restraint language.",{"_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},6174330,"Victor schools adopt CKLA-based ELA curriculum for grades 3–6 after pilot",848,1846000,2694000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2&start=1846&end=2694","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2/thumbnail_1846000.jpg","/articles/6174330/New-York/Victor-schools-adopt-CKLA-based-ELA-curriculum-for-grades-36-after-pilot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174330-f14b2ccb47d074d6e88fa8146c4c4dd8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771017398&Signature=OI9gcIN9dHSqCoo~mzgnn5DiL~UQlFwNfBlsIwUBIOn6P46UnvP6q9bCLrAO5pADRJOJR1OJQYX6WPoLNWmZ877M~EdqkoNxszYLDyDCQSpfCmMAcyBc67fRqRU7v8KrBoWflNNIfWW9aVU-No9prlQfTR5yRGhnZL6mLjP7R5qNXBdC77HTTI2mRuM9v0ZoTe1bc2wFUwipq4swCYT9W6CCYPaU1ObgsEw5AGF90eRmSU5zzM7~lu4ADHAzgGUg7wYRVwT53KDZ47sBpIpo7TmPoF0gtSpMFf6IxkLpg15Da3akhq6el5hsGu6JKuFHDc78YNt9T6W-iFP-ITUYiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Victor Central School District Board of Education approved adoption of a CKLA/aligned ELA program for grades 3–6 following a district pilot, presenters said.
Karen Fenter, assistant superintendent for instruction, told the board that two curriculum programs were piloted in 3–6 classrooms and that teachers and coaches reached an “overwhelming consensus” in favor of CKLA/Amplify based on student engagement and early writing gains observed during the spring pilot. She said pilot teams included two teachers per resource per grade level and that coaches conducted walkthroughs and gathered feedback throughout the pilot.
The board voted to approve the 3–6 ELA resource as presented. The transcript records the motion and a unanimous vote in favor; the motion carried.
Fenter outlined implementation steps: initial professional development this summer and follow-up in the fall; embedded coaching time so the district’s ELA coach can focus on implementation instead of curriculum writing; curriculum-based benchmark assessments built into the program; and Professional Learning Communities to support classroom practice. She told the board the program includes vertical alignment across grades and daily lesson structure that blends reading, writing, vocabulary and independent application.
Board members asked how the program would align with K–2 instruction and supports for students with disabilities or students not yet reading at grade level. Fenter said the district will continue implementing Superkids in K–2 (year three of that program) and monitor the transition into grade 3; for students needing extra support she cited small-group instruction, assistive technology and specially designed instruction in integrated co-taught classrooms as planned strategies.
The board approved the recommendation to adopt the CKLA/Amplify materials for grades 3–6 and directed staff to proceed with the planned professional learning and benchmark assessments.","The board approved adoption of the CKLA/Amplify ELA program for grades 3–6 after a district pilot; administrators described rollout plans, professional development and measures to support students with differing reading levels.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6174331,"Victor board elects Lisa Kostecki president; Elizabeth Mitchell named vice president; oaths administered",220,365000,585000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2&start=365&end=585","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5370741-c403a3133423557c67200c92b21966c2/thumbnail_365000.jpg","/articles/6174331/New-York/Victor-board-elects-Lisa-Kostecki-president-Elizabeth-Mitchell-named-vice-president-oaths-administered","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174331-da368648b82f3d7c1d00118927248ada/orig.mp4?Expires=1771017398&Signature=G4bjv7c6KviZIvp218PkL~d0ZmwggizGsVzlr3e8JK3~FIRDkULMJry9chN~ccIfHJ3NfAMfEoKytqVjA7KduFA91-2qP0aqFsK9h6wPpEDiB~ZPXUGN-IoeDMDPUQf-BNzsDQ4y0g3Y-K1oLjdaeKuQ1qYi5wizt3uTzi8nIML9C7VePt53Lum~H65E-X5WXNqRHORMKbn-RrApJPHr-QE~Z2zuRs09~TfJSyaUX8Ra~5pHlNyth-MAohQigcglkmb-zuntPrbrYiOOx3VuRApIOUxaQP9IG9ZiEUEz1Ab5jdQEHzoBPC6TvOf4ygdr2x5LwMUqLDpj5bAQiusMRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Victor Central School District Board of Education elected Lisa Kostecki as board president and Elizabeth Mitchell as vice president and administered oaths of office to re-elected members and the superintendent at its July meeting.
