The most fun part of Board of Education (BOE) Meetings is when students present work that they have done during the year. Monday's meeting was no exception as first graders showed art work they had done and fourth graders presented art and science from their study of biomes.

If you want to have a rally, carnival or parade in Lansing you'll need a permit, now that Lansing's Town Board passed a new Mass Gatherings law last Wednesday (5/17). Town Attorney Guy Krogh explained that laws like this were prompted in the past by unregulated rock concerts in upstate New York where people died. "They were unable to get medical services, it created a huge environmental mess, it didn't have proper facilities, didn't have water." He said it affects other things like traffic, public health and access for fire trucks.

By issuing permits municipalities are able to plan ahead. For example, the fire department would know that a route is blocked and respond to emergencies via an alternative route. "With permits you have something in place to make sure that there is safe parking, ingress and egress for emergency vehicles, sufficient water and facilities on-site to take care of the anticipated number of people."

The Town of Lansing is a step closer to realizing its plan to transform Salt Point, restoring its natural features and making it a place where people can enjoy nature. At Wednesday's Town Board meeting the Salt Point Management Plan was unanimously approved, paving the way for landscaping and construction to begin. The Town's Environmental Planner Darby Kiley presented the plan. "Our agreement with DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) allows us to have low-impact, non-motorized uses," she explained.
The plan it to construct two roads, the first a gated entry that leads to a parking area, and the second a loop road along the Northern side of the area. Educational kiosks will be erected, and places to launch non-motorized boats. Existing roads will be revegetated, and walking paths will be established. All motorized traffic will be restricted to the two roads.

 Over the past year, three separate individuals occupied the Lansing Central School superintendent’s office. During the current school year, Ms. Tiffany Phillips served as interim superintendent until my appointment and subsequent arrival on January 4, 2006. Besides engaging in the activities associated with orienting oneself to a new district and a new community, I immersed myself in two essential initiatives that were underway prior to my arrival: the development of the 2006-07 school budget and the planning of a capital project initiative. In addition, a new initiative, long range planning, commenced within my first eight weeks in office.
On Thursday, May 4th Mark Lewis made his first annual report to the Board of Education in a public meeting. The report covers his activities since January, when he joined the School District as Superintendent. This is a full transcript of that report.
