MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Elizabeth Blashka

Delegates' Meeting
     OCSBA's first meeting of the 2010-11 school year was a well-attended event.  We welcomed new and returning delegates to our county association, approved the minutes of previous meetings, received our directories and calendars, and accepted the audit report from our treasurer. 
     It was decided that OCSBA would host two dinners during convention.  We expect to dine at Hurley's Restaurant on Friday evening at 7:00 o'clock with a menu price between $50 and $55 per person.  We will make reservations for Saturday night as well.  Please let your delegate know what nights you will join us for dinner in NYC. 
     Bill Boss gave a brief overview of NYSSBA's proposed resolutions.  Further discussion will be held during our October meeting.
     Delegates decided to adjust our meeting agenda for October and invite all legislative candidates for the NYS Legislature.  Incumbents and challengers will be invited to attend the 10/6 meeting and discuss how they plan to address the dysfuntion in Albany and provide help and support for our schools.  We will keep you posted on this planned forum. 
     Attending members also discussed how their boards evaluate themselves, their goals, and the superintendent of schools.  Our members shared self-evaluation procedures, how they develop their goals, and instruments/timelines for evaluating the superintendent.  This meeting yielded much positive discussion and sharing of information among our board members.  We extend thanks to all who helped make this an interesting and informative meeting.
