Superintendent's Message
(continues from Homepage)
Our school district consists of six elementary schools, one
Middle School, one High School, and an Early Childhood Program
established throughout the schools and community.
Some of our outstanding accomplishments for the past school year
have been as follows:
-
President Clinton Foundation for a Healthier Generation Wellness
Program-Memorial High School-Gold Medal (only such award in the
U.S.)- Harry L. Bain School-Bronze Medal, School #1 Silver
Medal, and School #2 Silver Medal
-
Central Office Business Office had two major audits receiving
100% compliance in all areas.
-
Although the school budget was cut back by 11 million dollars
the district was able to bring back 98% of teachers and
custodial staff.
-
In spite of budget cuts the in -district Autism program
continues to expand bringing back students from out of district
programs to a least restrictive environment in their
neighborhood.
-
Participation in the Syracuse Project which enables our High
School students to obtain college credits while attending the
MHS.
-
Getting much closer to the opening of our brand new School #3
which will hopefully take place in the year 2011.
-
Exploring the expansion of Memorial HS by utilizing the St.
Joseph’s High School building which is currently vacant.
-
In spite of budget cuts the Early Childhood Program will be
opening five new classrooms in Schools 1, 2 and 4.
-
100% participation in SEMI (Special Education Initiative), a
Medicare funded reimbursement from the federal government
education services, generating significant amounts of dollars in
revenue for the district.
-
Memorial High School continues to move forward with the building
of small learning communities.
-
Our Technology Plan for the upcoming school year continues to
support the additional purchasing of interactive boards for the
classrooms.
We strongly believe our students learn best when the entire
learning community works together to establish powerful and
meaningful partnerships that share the common vision of keeping up
with educational trends and continuously seeking the next highest
level. We have an open door policy, value your input, and welcome
your support and involvement in our schools.
Enjoy exploring our website and please do not hesitate to contact me
should you have any questions or need assistance.
Sincerely,
John Fauta
Superintendent of Schools
