Public Hearing
Special Meeting Minutes
A
Public Hearing and Special Meeting of the Board of Education of the
Scotia-Glenville Central School District was held in Room A30 in the Senior
High School in said district on June 23, 2003.
President
of the Board of Education Kurt Ahnert called the Hearing to order at 6:30 p.m.
Present: Ahnert, Bradley, Carbone, Conlon, Smith, Superintendent Marcelle; Interim Director of Curriculum and Instruction Hodgins, District Treasurer Nolie and District Clerk Galivan
Excused: Carpenter,
Magruder
Recognition
of Retiring Instructional Personnel: Linda Adamczyk, Elementary Teacher; Mary
Farina, Science Teacher; Gregory Olson, Science Teacher; and Evelyn A.
O’Malley, Science Teacher. The names of Board members who will be reading this information are in
parentheses next to each name.
Linda
Adamczyk (Kurt)
Linda began her professional career in Scotia-Glenville as a teaching assistant during the fall of 1985. That December, she received her appointment as a Special Education teacher in our Language Development full day Kindergarten program at Sacandaga. Linda served in this capacity for the duration of the program, changing her tenure area to Elementary Education in September 1997 as a result of our move to the transitional Kindergarten program.
Linda
served on a variety of committees during her tenure. She was an active member
of the district's Inclusionary Advisory Committee as well as the PreK /
Kindergarten program review committee. Prior to these committees, Linda served
on Sacandaga's Shared Decision Making team as well as the Blue Ribbon Award
committee in 1994. In 1993, Linda served on the committee developing the
Arts-in-Education program for our district as well as assisting in a variety of
committees serving our community and children in need over the years. One
special program that Linda has been a part of since its inception at Sacandaga
is the “Kids Giving to Kids” program.
In addition, Linda has also been a wonderful role model for the children in our district investigating careers in education or in need of in-service credit for community services. Many student teachers have had the privilege of working with a master teacher in action. Students needing a community service program were always welcome in her classroom.
Linda's love of teaching combined with her caring attitude provided a wonderful experience for young children entering our educational program for their first time. Her knowledge of early childhood practices mixed with that special way of interacting with her students fostered the development of early language and literacy skills of the many children crossing our threshold. No child was left out in her classroom, right down to her assuring that their milk monies were taken care of or the funds for attending a field trip were paid for.
In addition, Linda was a strong resource as well as a pillar of support for our staff. She would be the first to reach out to someone who was ill or needed a little emotional support. Her cards, treats, and kind words always brought a smile to someone's face.
If one looks in Linda's "crystal ball", they will see her enjoying her retirement at her camp on Schroon Lake, possibly playing a challenging game of tennis or golf or spending some quality time with her grandson.
Mary Farina (Pam)
Mary
Farina is the quintessential educator. Her intelligence, kindness, and passion for teaching
have made her an institution at Scotia-Glenville, where she has been a teacher
for 31 years. During that time,
she has taught Earth Science, Biology, Math, and English, and even pinch-hit as
the head of the science department for a year. It is unlikely that any other teacher in the district can
claim to have served the district and its children for so long in so many
different ways.
Mary
is a special teacher. She served
our most needy students for many years as a FOCUS teacher, helping these
students to success despite the most difficult obstacles. Mary is a tough-love teacher who has a
special way with needy kids. When
the day is done, these students always look back and remember her as the one who
brooked no nonsense, who cared enough to relentlessly encourage them to
succeed, and who accepted no excuses.
There is no teacher, anywhere, who is more dedicated to making the lives
of her students better. She is determined that they will surmount any obstacle,
and puts forth seemingly limitless amounts of energy to help them make success
a reality.
Perhaps
more than any other teacher in the science department, Mary has helped new
teachers become acclimated to the Scotia-Glenville experience. She has helped many, many of us to
begin to see that the question is not “how am I doing”, but rather,
“how are the students doing?”
Mary
is always there to help, no matter what the difficulty, and she has an uncanny
knack of knowing just when to provide the advice a new person needs. In keeping with her love for kids, Mary
once told her fresh and frustrated new buddy teacher, “You have got to
understand that your job isn’t just to do nice things for good kids. You also have to do nice things for
kids who are acting badly.”
By living this philosophy on a daily basis, Mary helped struggling
students and teachers to better understand how to achieve success.
No
accolade for Mary could be complete without mentioning the degree of her
commitment to our district’s children. It is important to remember that Mary is also a
Scotia-Glenville C.S.D. graduate!
She started school here in second grade, when her one room schoolhouse
was closed in Glenville. To the
point, Mary has been a part of Scotia-Glenville Schools a long, long time. Mary is the kind of person who would
show up during the summer, unpaid, and spend a ten-hour day setting up her
room, writing lesson plans, creating demonstrations and getting ready for
September. Mary would do this not
once, but ten or twenty times a
summer. She also set the tone for
the whole department, when she and Evelyn O’Malley established 9th
period in our 8 period day. On
most days of the week for the past 30 years, her classroom has been full of
students, working diligently to catch up on missed work, from 2:30 to 4:00 PM.
Mary
has been and continues to be one of the most dedicated employees this district
has ever known. She will be missed
by everyone.
Greg Olson (Kurt)
Greg
Olson has served the Scotia-Glenville Central School District faithfully for 36
years. During that time, he has
been a peerless teacher, motivator, coach, mentor and friend to both students
and staff. Mr. Olson’s
impact on the fabric of our school cannot be underestimated. In his quiet, unassuming way, he guides
students and staff to “do the right thing.” This is a lesson that he teaches,
again and again, through example.
Mr.
Olson has been doing an exemplary job for so long, in so many ways, that it is
difficult to provide accolades that come close to doing him justice. His list of ridiculous but engrossing
demonstrations and stories seems inexhaustible. His energy and enthusiasm for chemistry are obvious, and the
effect on both students and colleagues is just as obvious. Even when Mr. Olson should be
overwhelmed with the responsibilities that come with being a teacher, coach,
father and husband, he still finds extra time for students. Mr. Olson makes
this process look effortless, but the fact is that he can often be found
returning to the office after practice is complete, and at times he returns to
his desk at six or seven o’clock in the evening.
For
our kids, Mr. Olson is a role model without comparison. Mr. Olson’s students frequently
return to visit him at school.
Some teachers have favorite students who turn up for a year or two after
graduation, and then drift off as their lives move away from high school. Mr. Olson’s students, some of
which are now over 40 years old, return to visit in a steady stream. These students return out of love and
concern for Mr. Olson, but also for his guidance and advice.
Not
only is Mr. Olson a tremendous teacher, he has also acted as a mentor for many
of our new teachers. He provides
this support without ever condescending, criticizing or correcting. He offers advice when it is requested,
and never seems to tire of supporting new staff members. It is clear that he motivates these
teachers through example. He is uncompromising
when it comes to student expectations, and he carries himself with a quiet dignity
that cannot help but rub off on those around him. He has a great sense of humor, and inner toughness that few
on any faculty can match. Greg is a role model for the entire science
department.
Greg
Olson has been eligible for retirement for the past couple of years. When asked over the past years why he
wasn’t going to retire, he would reply, “why would I quit? I love what I am doing.”
Greg’s
presence will be sorely missed in the science department, the high school, and
the district.
Evelyn O’Malley (Margaret)
In her twenty-four years of teaching experience at Scotia-Glenville, Evelyn O’Malley has taught biology, chemistry, earth science and even tried her hand at physics. She has truly done it all in the science department, and has always been there to help regardless of the need.
It
is not unusual for Evelyn’s students to affectionately greet her by
calling out “hey, Mom.”
This can be heard in the hallways, on the street, and at the shopping
mall. Mrs. O’Malley has a
special way with students. At the
beginning of the year, they are alternately comforted and terrified by her
energetic, affectionate, tough, and powerful personality. By year’s end, students worship
the ground Evelyn walks on. Even
more interesting, the more difficult the student, the greater their affection
for her at year's end. This is
especially interesting, because while treating all of her students
affectionately and warmly, Mrs. O’Malley is absolutely “hell on
wheels” in her dealings with students who are not performing up to their
ability.
Mrs. O'Malley is tireless in her passion for earth science and demands the best of her students. She spends countless hours after school with students who need extra help or have to complete or make up labs. Woe betide the student who doesn't show up for an after school session or falls behind on their labs! Any truly successful teacher knows that to teach well, one must love what they do and share that love with the students. Mrs. O'Malley can make the most difficult concept or unit exam a fun activity. Add to this a penchant for zany behavior, extremely silly science songs and outfits that include science themes from rocks to outer space, and you have one of the best educators the district has ever known.
It
is impossible to know Evelyn without experiencing that infectious laugh. She has a quick wit, and can see the
humor in almost any situation, and seems able to make anyone join in the
laughter. Evelyn is also well
known for her artistic abilities and her generosity. Every science teacher has a collection of ornaments, created
by and given to the group by Evelyn.
The quality of these gifts, and the cleverness of their construction is
truly amazing.
At
the heart of it, Evelyn is tough, demanding, uncompromising, and
committed. She and Mary Farina
have worked exhaustively to create one of the premier earth science programs in
our area. They have worked
together as friends and colleagues for so many years, that they seem
inextricably connected. It is only
fitting that they move on to the joys of retirement together, however the
vacuum they leave behind will be difficult to fill.
We
wish Evelyn the best in everything!
Recognition of Claire McDermott –
Nationally Certified Early Childhood/Generalist Teacher
Claire McDermott (Karen)
Claire McDermott has been a wonderful addition to the Scotia-Glenville Schools through her talented teaching, committee involvement and consistent support of fellow teachers. She started at Glen-Worden teaching Half-Day Kindergarten in September 1993 and is now teaching Transitional Kindergarten, which she helped to initiate in 2000-2001.
Claire is also a tireless and extremely
productive volunteer at Glen-Worden, in the community and our school
district. She also models the lifelong
quest for knowledge in her participation in In-Service Courses and Workshops.
A perfect example of this quest is
Claire’s recent pursuit of National Board Certification by the National
Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Candidates for National Board Certification must critically
analyze and reflect on their practice and demonstrate how effectively they act
on their insights. The high standards of teacher knowledge and skill underlying
National Board Certification assures that National Board Certified Teachers
possess deep subject knowledge and the
ability to teach that subject in ways that help students learn.
The National Board Certification process, requiring intense self-reflection and analysis of one's own practice, is a powerful professional development experience. Teachers who pursue it speak about how the experience produces deeper student learning outcomes in classrooms. These teachers are strengthened in their practice and emerge from the experience with a lasting commitment to professional growth.
Claire’s motivation for the pursuing this process was to perhaps improve her instruction and therefore her students’ education. She was successful in all of her goals, for she has always provided high quality instruction and a safe and nurturing environment for her students. In addition she became a National Board Certified Teacher last November.
Recognition
of the Class of 2003 and Outstanding Student Leadership: Lisa DeSieno, Jerad Gribben, Rebecca
Haushalter, Kathryn Koch, and Lindsey Quick
Lisa
DeSieno (Ben)
Lisa DeSieno is a leader among her peers. It has been apparent to faculty since her junior high years that she has tactful and intelligent leadership skills. Lisa does not assume that others share her wishes and desires. She works toward cohesion and consensus among her peers. Lisa is a leader in the classroom, on the soccer field, in our community service program GIVE and in Student Senate. Lisa was chosen and has held leadership positions including Director of Bridge to Friendship, Secretary of Student Senate and Captain of the Girls’ Varsity Soccer team. Last year she was recognized for all her accomplishments in academics, community service and leadership by being inducted into the National Honor Society.
Lisa
has a great personality and a fun sense of humor. She has many friends from many circles. She is undaunted by challenges and
works very diligently to be successful in all her endeavors. She is deserving of recognition for her
accomplishments because of her work ethic, desire to be a role model,
willingness to help anyone in need.
Lisa is a creative and original thinker who constantly finds ways to
reach out to her friends, classmates and community members to help and
encourage them to reach their potential.
Next
year, Lisa will attend LeMoyne College where she has declared an undecided
major, yet has a strong interest in education and psychology.
Jerad
Gribben (Kurt)
For the past four years, Jerad Gribben has managed to successfully balance sports, the arts, and community service. According to his teachers, he is a motivated and focused individual who is always kind and friendly to everyone. One teacher describes him as a person with a “good soul.”
In his senior year, he was chosen to be Varsity Football
Captain. Within this role, he
easily earned trust and respect from his teammates. He is known for placing the needs of the team before his
own, and for his fair and equitable decisions.
On Sundays throughout high school, Jerad has assisted
in his church nursery and Sunday School, where he takes care of the infants,
and provides Sunday School Bible instruction.
Jerad is well known for his artistic abilities and
interests. According to Jerad, his
serious interest in art began in the fifth grade, and he has since then spent
“almost every waking moment” in pursuit of this passion. In addition to his art classes in
school, he has taken art instruction through a correspondence school. As a result, he has produced an
extensive and impressive art portfolio.
Through sports, the art, and in his giving to others,
Jerad has truly shown himself to be a caring, compassionate, and promising
individual. In recognition of his
efforts, he has been accepted to and will be attending the Art Institute of
Boston this fall.
Rebecca
Haushalter (Margaret)
Rebecca is the kind of girl who lights up a room the minute she walks in. She could represent the Fine Arts department single handedly – singing in Choralaires for three years, acting and singing in Drama Club presentations since she was a freshman, and taking all the art classes we offer. Art and drama have been her passions, and she has proven this in many ways. For art, she not only took classes here but at Sage Junior College as well. A member of the Art Club, which has helped her exhibit her works, she also used her artistic talents in the drama realm as well, designing logos for drama productions for t-shirts and posters, doing publicity boards to be placed outside, and helping with set decoration and painting.
This fall, for the high school production of “Harvey,” two of her original paintings were proudly displayed in the play. Rebecca was President of the Drama Club, and is also an extraordinary actress, taking part in all shows during her high school career, including summer in the park where she starred in “Cinderella.” This year, she was the lead in the high school production of “South Pacific” as Nellie. Her role as Dora in “Fiorello” last year won her a best supporting actress award from Schenectady Light Opera.
This spring, Rebecca completed a mural in the upstairs A wing hallway that she designed to be viewed from the new science wing. This mural is an incredible rendition of artistic perspective that makes the viewer feel that they are walking into a gothic cathedral in France. It is perhaps one of the most outstanding wall murals in the high school and will be enjoyed by students and staff for many years to come.
Rebecca is also a serious student, taking many honors and AP classes. She has been Student of the Quarter in Art, and a regular on the Honor Roll. Rebecca does volunteer work through GIVE and is active in her church. Rebecca plans to attend Rochester Institute of Technology for a major in Computer Animation.
Kathryn
Koch (pronounced “Cook”) (Pam)
Kay is a multi-talented young lady. Scholastically, she’s a solid student and proves it by taking honors classes in English and Social Studies all four years of high school. Kay’s teachers love having her in class and find her a valuable addition to any class discussion. She’s known for her dependability and willingness to take on new challenges. Kay is also concerned about her fellow students and is always doing something for someone. Outside of school, Kay is very involved in her church and other community activities, such as ushering at Proctors. If there is a free moment in her day, you can guarantee Kay will find something constructive to fill it with!
Kay is also multi-talented in the arts, particularly music and drama. She has been in Drama since she was a freshman and is a true backbone of the drama program doing backstage work as well as starring roles and acting as a leader for others around her. Kay
has helped the Drama Club remain self-sustaining by her fundraising efforts. Her outstanding portrayal of Bloody Mary in this spring’s production of “South Pacific” will be remembered for many years to come. Kay is also a gifted writer and may use those talents to write a play someday!
Kay is an excellent singer, wonderful character actress, and will be attending Russell Sage next year with a major in musical theater.
Lindsey
Quick (Dan) as Mr. Magruder was excused, Mrs. Bradley presented.
When Lindsey was a small girl, she heard about Syracuse University from her grandfather who was an alumnus. His tales made such an impression on her that she set her sights on attending there one day. She entered high school with the goal to attend SU in preparation for eventual law school. This goal has motivated Lindsey to select the most difficult courses we had to offer and maintain a grade point average in the top 5% of her class for four years. This includes honors level study and the completion of five Advanced Placement courses. She has never lost her focus on that goal. The guidance office asks that four classroom teachers fill out rating checklists on each senior. It speaks volumes that all four checklists rate Lindsey “outstanding” in all categories. This is a rare occurrence.
Lindsey’s primary school commitments beyond the
classroom include four years in the Spanish Club (serving as vice president one
year) and four years on the volleyball team (co-captain for two years). She has played for six seasons on the
ASA Softball League. Lindsey
obviously stays with her commitments over the long run.
Lindsey does not lose sight of the importance of
family, friends and community. She
has completed over one hundred hours in Girl Scouting Service Projects and has
received the Silver Award. She is
very active in her church. Her
contributions include planning liturgy, childcare, ushering and performing in
church. She stocks shelves, shops
for food and serves at the Scotia Food Pantry. She has taught at the Scotia Ecumenical Bible School for two
summers.
Lindsey’s hard work and determination are about
to be rewarded. She has been
accepted as an early decision candidate and will attend Syracuse University in
the fall.
