MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT
April 6, 2016
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
The 2015-16 school year fi nds TST BOCES growing and thriving. As we institute more programs at the request of our districts, we fi nd ourselves at the limits of existing space and are starting to look attemporary solutions to that diffi cult but positive challenge. The fact that BOCES capital improvements are now exempt from the tax cap helps us in our planning, but we will need to make several decisions aboutthe physical plant over the coming months. Our goal is to keep non-adult students on the main campus,but some back-offi ce operations may need to move to make that possible.
In addition to physical expansion, we are expanding our outreach into the community, reconnecting with higher education and our business partners, and thinking seriously about our roles and responsibilities aspart of Tompkins County and the Finger Lakes Region. To that end, Dr. Matteson has joined the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, we’ve established a new Workforce Development Board ExecutiveCommittee, we are exploring Way2Go carpooling and ride sharing to reduce our footprint and improveparking options, and our Energy Management Service is developing plans to serve the entire Mid-State Joint Management Team. In addition, we are starting to respond to the community’s desire to bring back more options for adult and continuing education, and we are committed to that worthy goal.
We are proud of our successes over the last year, from improving our visibility in the community toestablishing a strong regional social studies network to strengthening programs for incarcerated youth to attaining a Career Development and Occupational Studies grant that will help us to prepare students with disabilities to leave school with solid work readiness skills. Collaboration among TST departments grows stronger, and all of our forward movement is now tied to clear goals. You may view our goals on the website here: http://tstboces.org/administration/board-of-education/goals/
As always, our purpose is to learn, lead, support, and serve—and especially to facilitate learning for allstudents.
Thank you again for all you do for the children of our region.
Sincerely,Sincerely,
Kathy ZahlerKathyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ZaaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaaaZaZaaZaZaZaaZaaZaaaZaZZZZZZ hler President Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services
Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga BOCES Annual Meeting, April 6, 20164
MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT
April 6, 2016
Dear TST BOCES Partners:
This has been a school year of change and success at TST BOCES. Whether we look at newly established special education support programs like Little Lighthouse, the expansion of our Adult Education programs, or the recalibration of our CTE offerings, it is clear that the K-12 and adult age focus of our programming isin a very dynamic state. But, that is not all that is going on in your BOCES. Consider the following:
• In the fall of 2015 TST BOCES launched its new website with the goal of enhancing communicationwith all of our partners. We have coupled this effort with a new strategy for public outreach using the CiTi BOCES public relations service. Therefore, you may have noticed more press releases and a dramatic change to our newsletter that has been retitled the TST Tribune. We hope this enhanced communication is reaching you and that you are becoming more informed on the activities involving your students and teachers on our campus and in the region.
• This school year, TST BOCES has been undergoing a transition to a Google environment in an effort to increase collaboration while creating savings. This project will be complete by the end of the school year and we request patience as we all learn new things while we continue to work on your behalf.
• School Improvement Services has shifted from a workshop-based approach to professional development to a much more direct outreach to local school districts. This includes conducting contextual rounds and other onsite and remote “just-in-time” training. This is in line with our Board’s goal to measure the effect we are having on student performance in the classroom.
• Technology Integration is becoming more of a focus both in our classrooms on campus and as an instructional support service for our component districts. This represents a shift from the data analysis support TST was providing through model schools to direct hands-on support for classroom teachersand students in the deployment of instructional technology.
• Our Career and Technical Education offerings are about to have a couple of new additions over the nexttwo school years. First will be an Advanced Machining offering beginning in 2016-17 that has a directpipeline to local employment opportunities. The second is the likely commencement of a New VisionsEngineering program through a partnership with Cornell University that is slated for the 2017-18 school year.
It is my hope that you get a sense that TST BOCES is both responsive to the requests of those who purchase our services and actively investigating and proposing best practices for our region. We know thatgood things happen when we do them together.
Thank you for partnering with us!y p
