Dr. Smith provided a construction update and said that with school not in session, there have been new areas of work opened up.  He shared pictures of the pool at the middle school and said he is hopeful that the work will be done in August in time for the fall swim season. He also shared pictures of the Middle School library which will not be back online until sometime in the fall.  Dr. Smith shared pictures of the work being done at Jamesville Elementary School which includes the construction of bathrooms near the gym to enhance security, the demolition and restoration of the sensory room, addition of gender neutral single use bathrooms and a facelift for the gymnasium. He showed pictures of the new entry way being constructed at Moses DeWitt.  Dr. Smith said the working is progressing satisfactorily and he is optimistic with the timelines.

He said he was very pleased with the work Mr. Reyes and the principals are doing.

Dr. Smith said the administrative staff had the first two hour session of bystander training through Vera House with the second session taking place at the Administrative Retreat in August. He said training is being organized for all instructional staff to take place over two sessions between opening days in September and November conference days.

Dr. Smith said the District Safety Plan will be presented at the next meeting with modifications and updates for the 22-23 school year.  He said he met with the Town of DeWitt Police Department for a walk around of the exterior of the buildings and talked about first-responder training in buildings and security enhancements.  Lastly, Dr. Smith spoke about the passage of Alyssa’s Law, which centers on panic buttons in schools.  He said he has not yet received information but that research is currently being done and there will be more to come.
