Topic: Bus Disposal Board Action Requested: That the Board of Education approve of the disposal of the

following: Comment:

Disposal

Vehicle # Year Make Mileage VIN SW 9 2002 Ford 111,621 1FAFP58242A174973

Bus 230 2005 Thomas 160,454 4UZAWDC25C04587 SW 9 - Has severe sub frame damage due to rust. The severe rust damage affects the structural integrity of the vehicle. This vehicle will not pass NYS inspection and would be too costly to repair. It is our recommendation that this vehicle be taken to Ben Weitsman’s for disposal. Bus 230 - In April 2015, in a report of the fleet, it was stated that bus 210, a 2001 Thomas wheelchair bus with 142,156 miles, was going to be offered to maintenance or sold at auction in the 15-16 school year. When we started to do rust repairs on bus 230, a 2005 Thomas wheelchair bus with 160,454 miles, so it could be kept and used as an auxiliary bus, we found that bus 230 had severe structural issues that were going to cost over three times the value of the vehicle to fix. So we are recommending that bus 230 be sent to maintenance or sold at auction and Bus 210 continue to be our auxiliary wheelchair bus.

NYSSBA Policy 4321.2

SCHOOL-WIDE PRE-REFERRAL APPROACHES AND INTERVENTIONS

The Board of Education recognizes that the provision of academic and behavioral supports and targeted interventions for students who are not making academic progress at expected levels in the general curriculum may improve a student’s performance, and help avert the need for referral for possible classification as a student with a disability. Therefore, the district will implement on a school-wide basis practices appropriate to enable all of the district’s students to succeed in the general education environment.

The Superintendent will identify and take steps to implement a variety of practices

appropriate to comply with this policy. Consistent with applicable law and regulation, those practices may include, for example: 1. Providing instruction that supplements the general curriculum instruction and assists in

meeting the learning standards, and/or student support services which may include guidance, counseling, attendance, improvements services, and studies skills needed to support improved academic performance. This may also include professional development that enables teachers and other staff to deliver scientifically based academic instruction and behavioral interventions, such as scientifically based literacy instruction and, where appropriate, instruction on the use of adaptive and instructional software. It also may include educational and behavioral evaluations, services and supports.

2. Implementation of a response to intervention (RTI) program that includes the minimum requirements established by commissioner’s regulations, and allows teachers and other staff to determine whether a student responds to scientific, research-based instruction or requires interventions beyond those provided to all students in the general education classroom.

3. Implementation of positive behavioral interventions that reduces school and classroom behavioral problems, and creates and maintains a safe and positive learning environment by promoting positive behavior in all students.

District implementation of any of the above practices will not impede or delay the appropriate evaluation of a student suspected of having a disability, and the student’s right to a free appropriate public education.
