CLOSING THE MEETING Discussion: 1. Open Forum - Items Not On the Agenda Tommy Kehoskie, Armstrong Rd., is a 1997 graduate of West Genesee and said he tries to be a positive person.  He said he voted in favor of the golf course property purchase and for the Capital Project.  He shared his opinion that leadership in the District is a major problem and a reason the Capital Project was voted down.  He feels the Superintendent is not visible enough in the community in comparison to previous superintendents.  He feels that the Budget will also be voted down because of it.  Mr. Ryder cut Mr. Kehoskie off for personal attacks when he surpassed his allowable amount of time to speak. Carri Prue, Feldspar Dr., wanted to understand what the next steps are (regarding the proposed Capital Project work).  She feels there was a lot of information about the Project in the community.  She feels with the increased expenses everyone in the community is experiencing, the Capital Project was voted down because it is an increased expense that people have control over, unlike other expenses like utilities, gas, groceries, insurance, etc.  She also thinks that the Budget vote will not pass for that reason.  Ms. Prue asked if a 501c3 could be a consideration, as a way to support the schools without being a burden to taxpayers.  Mr. Ryder said that even though this Open Forum is not a time for back and forth conversation, he wanted to express that the Board of Education realizes that the work that was proposed in the Capital Project is necessary, the Board does not have plans to bring this Project back to voters, but will have to look at how to get the work done in the future within Education Law.  Mr. Ryder clarified that Ms. Prue's opinion is that the vote was defeated due to the fiscal impact not a lack of information or lack of availability of the Superintendent. Tommy Kehoskie asked for a few more seconds to add that there was a lot, almost too much, detail in the communications about the Project; he said dealing with blue collar folks and senior citizens, it should have only been the "nuts and bolts",  and calling it the Transportation Center was confusing, it should just be called a bus garage. Bob Knapp, Semloh Dr, thinks this is the best school board the District has ever had.  He was crushed when the Capital Project was defeated, but not surprised.  He hopes that the Budget passes.  He feels the Superintendent is very visible in the community.  He doesn't want to go back to the days of austerity; he doesn't want to have to fundraise for the school teams, clubs and other functions to have any money. Anthony DiNicola, Heather Lane, said he voted no on the Capital Project twice.  He is a truck driver and while so many other costs keep going up, he can't vote for school taxes to go up too.  He thinks the timing of the vote was not great.  He feels David Bills and Christine DeMass did a great job communicating.  He also believes the Budget won't pass because it is just one more rising cost that can be controlled by voters by voting no.  He also encouraged everyone to take care of themselves and stay healthy because the cost of healthcare is also rising.
