  • CiTi Business Office establishes dates
  • CiTi IT establishes dates that align to the Business Office
  • Both Tracy and I have touched base with Keven Solan and Gisele Benigno about getting these out to you
Local Library/Municipality Partnerships
Lots of discussion at the 793 planning meetings on looking at how school districts/BOCES can help to support and provide services to their local public libraries. It might be good to assess what each district is doing with their public library and/or municipality.
  • Fulton – provides equipment through Smart Schools Bond Act; relationship is informal
  • Pulaski – informal but many partnership projects, public librarian sits on many district committees
  • Central Square – small scale, we need to do something
  • Phoenix – long standing relationship, equipment and tech support
  • Hannibal – very small operation, library is also a day care, haven’t figured it out yet
March Agenda – Instructional Technology Coaches Training Outline
  • Push to summer
  • Perhaps have a retreat
