2012-2013 School Year (All subcommittee meetings will be held in the Central Office Building unless noted otherwise.) For the schedule of meetings, please check the district calendar on the home page of the website. Finance Subcommittee The mission of the Finance Committee is to enhance public confidence in the District’s ability to effectively handle its financial affairs by communicating the results of its work to the School Board, and by educating the public regarding the financial position and outlook for the District. The Finance Committee of the Bedford Central School District is designed to act as an independent advisory committee to the Board of Education regarding the District’s financial interests and operations. The Finance Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the existing and projected revenues and expenditures, and suggests measures to overcome potential budget constraints and improve the fiscal health of the District. Such recommendations are made to ensure the District is maximizing its revenues, is using its resources optimally, and is able to sustain effective operations on a long-term basis. Membership: Andrew Bracco (chairperson), Susan Elion Wollin, Suzanne Grant Policy Subcommittee In order to help it function more effectively and efficiently, the Board of Education of the Bedford Central School District has created a Policy Subcommittee. The Policy Subcommittee consists of three Board members, chaired by one member. When the need for a new or revised policy is recognized, the subcommittee meets with appropriate District staff and/or external resources to develop a draft policy or to revise an existing policy. Proposed policies are presented to the Board for discussion and action. Two readings of a policy at two separate Board meetings are required before approval, with ample time for comment. Proposed policies may be adopted by the Board of Education, as initially proposed or amended, or rejected. School board policies are statements, adopted by resolution of the Board of Education, which prescribe in general terms the organization and operation of the school system. Effective policies can be used to help the board: Determine priorities; Provide direction for the District; Assign responsibilities; Establish commitments; Demonstrate public accountability; Offer notice of legal requirements; Ensure legal compliance; Membership: Jennifer Gerken (chairperson), Lee Goldstein, Eric Karle Communications Subcommittee In order to best serve every child in the Bedford Central School District, the Board of Education’s Communications Subcommittee strives to build awareness, confidence and support for District efforts through strong community connections and solid two-way communications between BCSD and District families, staff, the wider public and press. The Communications Subcommittee consists of three Board members, chaired by one member. Working cooperatively with the Superintendent, the committee meets regularly to identify and oversee communications initiatives, which are reported to the Board for their information, discussion and action. Because successful communication with a full spectrum of the community has a direct impact on the success of a school district, the Communications Subcommittee is committed to exploring ways to enhance information access for the public using a wide variety of mediums, including:
· BCSD website · eNews · BCSD-TV · School News · Dateline · Public Meetings · District Events · Public Engagement Sessions · Surveys · Citizens Advisory Committees · Key Communicators · Board of Education Meetings · Budget Meetings · PTO Meetings · Professional Associations · Community Organizations · Media Outreach Membership: Suzanne Grant, Jennifer Gerken, Susan Elion Wollin.
