Continue to be in a very strong fiscal situation.
Will continue to evaluate positions and staffing models to look for savings and efficiencies.
Important to understand
The current funding formulas and leadership budgets will have to continue to reduce cost in order to maintain that solvency.
We are in a good position, but that does not mean we can add new costs.

Continue to improve Course Rigor and college preparation. (academic)
Continue to expand programs like PLTW, science courses. (academic)
Exploring shared services with neighboring districts and BOCES where applicable. (fiscal)

Emergency Plans
Designed to be guidelines for how to react to an emergency situation.
Not publicly communicated
Simplistic in nature
Designed around student needs and safety
Most likely needs of Emergency Plan Implementation
Bomb Threats
Evacuation/Fire
Lockdown
Severe Storms
Bomb Threats
More than likely will not know the threat.
Implement Fire Drill/Evacuation procedures.
Fire/Evacuation
Fire Drill process await directions.
Important to have attendance taken follow directions.
Lockdown
Will hear an announcement “lockdown”
Lock classroom door
Get out of sight of windows etc.
Remain quiet, await directions
If fire alarm goes off after lockdown do not evacuate until you see or smell smoke.
Disregard any further announcements. You will be personally dismissed from lockdown.
Shelter in Place (storms)
Get away from windows.
Await instructions
Things to keep in mind
Following directions is very important.
If you are in a hallway when lockdown go to closest room.
If you are outside during fire drill, stay out.
Do not communicate to students any emergency.
Communication Plan
Administrator will communicate via email or PA.
Do NOT speak to media or parents about any part of the emergency. Keep in mind you will have minimal information.
Avoid Facebook comments. You can only hinder investigations.
There is only one district communication that will be done.
What not to do….
Talk to students about the situation. Reassure it is ok.
Do not talk to media sources or to parents. A communication from the administration will handle that.
Do not leave the premises for any reason unless you are instructed to do so.
Reporting Incidents
Report any threats directly to the school office.
Do not attempt to investigate, do not delay.
99% of the time the administration will decide on a lockdown, however, if a disturbance breaks out lock your room down is ok.
Lockdown Practice
February 2 scheduled lockdowns, parent notification and student.
Looking for issues.
2 additional lockdown practices may or may not be announced.
