BCS WHAT IS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION HIDING?

You really have to ask what is going on that the Brookfield School Board has failed to make public the MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS. They have not posted minutes since SEPTEMBER 2018... They don't even have a copy you can pick up at the office.  How do things get properly approved ?  I have been asking and writing for MONTHS only to be told by the Clerk that she and the Superintendent have other priorities.  WHAT ARE THE BOARD'S PRIORITIES.... ?  Certainly not the TAXPAYERS or the TRUTH about what REALLY GOES ON AT BROOKFIELD CENTRAL SCHOOL!   Check it out for yourself....where is the BOARD'S ACCOUNTABILITY???????  https://www.brookfieldcsd.org/site/default.aspx?PageType=14&DomainID=30&PageID=388&ModuleInstanceID=693&ViewID=1e008a8a-8e8a-4ca0-9472-a8f4a723a4a7&IsMoreExpandedView=True

NYS Capitol watch: Busy legislative session comes to close

The 935 measures that passed both the Senate and the Assembly included ones creating new rental protections for more than a million tenants in and around New York City, the further decriminalization of marijuana, safeguards for abortion rights, and aggressive new targets for reducing pollution that causes global warming.  The vast majority, however, are more modest in their scope, impacting only a specific industry, community or corner of the law.

What's responsible for the brisk pace? One-party rule. In recent years, when each party held a chamber, the Senate and Assembly would often pass their own partisan bills, which members knew had no chance in the opposite chamber. But with Democrats now in charge of both the Senate and Assembly, a bill's chances of passing both chambers is much higher.

Madison County Residents Concerned About 911 Consolidation

Madison County is in the process of evaluating its emergency response. Earlier this month, a consulting firm recommended Madison County merge its 911 Center with Onondaga County. Thursday night, they presented their findings to the public.

A few dozen Madison County residents spoke up at the meeting — most work at the 911 dispatch center or are first responders. They say their emergency response time is exceptional, despite being understaffed. The Madison County residents are worried about added costs and being second fiddle to Onondaga County.

The consulting firm is recommending a three phase approach. Phase one, they say, should be implemented immediately and includes operational changes; including sharing data. It would make it more efficient for departments to work together, specifically if they are responding to an emergency near the counties' borders, the firm says.  

The heavily debated part is full consolidation of the 911 centers. Residents are worried about outsourcing their service and having slower response times. They say the county should invest in its own community if there isn't a cost savings.
