Volunteers sought for district financial committees
We are currently looking for volunteers to serve on the Long-Range Financial Planning Committee and the 2026-27 Budget Focus Group. In addition, the district is seeking one community member to join the Audit Committee.
These committees provide an opportunity to learn about the budget process, review financial information, and offer feedback that helps guide informed decision-making for our schools and community.
Long-range Financial Committee
This new committee will review historical trends including enrollment, foundation aid, salaries, benefits, debt service, and infrastructure, to develop multi-year financial projections, identify potential challenges, and recommend strategies that support the district’s long-term fiscal stability and educational priorities.
Meetings will be held from 5:30–6:30 p.m. on October 14, October 28, November 18, December 9, January 20 and February 3. No prior experience (Budget Focus Group) is necessary; however, given the depth and complexities of this review, please understand this commitment requires attendance at all meetings.
To express interest in serving, please contact Marcy Clapper by Oct. 1 at 349-5101 or mclapper@spencerportschools.org.
Budget Focus Group
Members provide the district personnel and community perspective during the preparation of the budget that will be presented to the community in May.
Commitment: meetings will be held on the following Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m.: January 12, January 26, February 9, March 2, March 16, and April 7.
Audit Committee
The Board of Education is required to establish an Audit Committee to assist and advise the board on issues relating to the district’s external and internal audit functions.
Commitment: meetings are held four times per year, September/October, December/January, March/April, and June, from 4-5:30 p.m.
If interested in the BFG or audit committees, please contact Marcy Clapper at the information provided above.
Thank you.
Kiwanis donation supports community book study
The Family Support Center is excited to introduce a new lending library resource, with books generously donated by the Spencerport Kiwanis.
On Sep. 18, Spencerport Kiwanis’ Crystal Benjamin delivered copies of Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors by Robyn Gobbel. This resource will be the topic of a community book study facilitated by the Family Support Center in partnership with our elementary schools. The discussion centers on caring for a child who struggles with:
| • Aggressive behavior • Anxiety or depression • Sleep challenges |
• Negative self-talk • Defiant behavior • Intense emotional meltdowns |
If you are, you are not alone. This is a no-shame, no-blame opportunity to connect during a free, seven-week virtual book study designed to support families as they learn practical strategies for understanding and responding to challenging behaviors. This is the second year for this book study, and previous participants provided the feedback below.
If interested, contact Erin Hassall at ehassall@spencerportschools.org or 585-349-5158 for more information.
| ”Thanks again for putting on such a helpful program." “Our school community is so lucky.” “Thank you for your compassion, your understanding, your listening, your wisdom and for creating a safe comfortable space for all of us.” |
“This book study has helped me become more aware of my brain state and what I need to be able to be more connected with my children.” “This book study was super great! I would do it again!” “I am so glad that I was able to be a part of this, I learned a lot, I felt supported, it was something I needed and didn't even realize how much until I was in it. Thank you!” |
Spot the Stop: school bus safety for all
We are excited to partner with the University of Rochester Medicine’s Trauma Program and the Monroe County Department of Public Safety to launch “Spot the Stop,” a data-driven, injury-prevention initiative to improve student safety and increase driver education surrounding school buses.
In 2023, Monroe County introduced the School Bus Safety Program that equipped buses with stop-arm cameras that capture motorists who illegally pass buses while their stop-arm is deployed, and issue citations accordingly. Spencerport officially joined the program in 2025.
Since its launch, the data has been staggering: more than 19,000 tickets have been issued—that means more than 19,000 moments where our students have been at risk when getting on or off a school bus. This has averaged to almost 30 incidents a school day in Monroe County.
Please talk with your student or new driver about bus and motorist safety. Refer to the resources provided here from the county and URMC.
