This building, which was built in the late 1930s and last educated Seaford students in 1981, was leased to Five Towns College from 1982 to 1992 and to Nassau BOCES from 1992 to 2010. The building has been vacant for the last two years. Q- Why are we selling the Seaford Avenue School building and proper- ty? A-Without any current or foreseeable income in the future from the property the district can no longer afford to absorb the cost of maintenance and expect residents to make up for the loss of yearly income. We expect to save about $100,000 in yearly maintenance costs and expect another $500,000 in yearly property tax revenue from the residents who purchase the units. Q-Why not wait until the real estate market improves to sell the property? A-For every year the district waits it will continue to pay maintenance costs on the building and land, and lose out on property tax revenues that will come from the proposed residences. For example, if we wait two years and receive one million more dollars for the property, we will have lost $1 million in tax revenue and also would have spent $200,000 on maintenance costs. Q-What will the district do with the proceeds from the sale of the proper- ty? A-The net revenue from the sale after commissions and other adjustments will be placed in a reserve fund as is required by New York State law. by Laura Schofer Members of the Seaford Harbor Civic Association met last week to discuss the Seaford School District’s proposal to sell the Seaford Avenue School to the real estate developer Engel-Burman Group’s subsidiary, BK LLC for $5.19 million. BK LLC, plans to convert the building into 113 condominium units. Residents were urged to attend an informational meeting today, October 4, at 7 p.m. at Seaford High School, prior to the vote on Tuesday, October 16, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Resident Roberta Grogan spent an hour and a half going over the contract, she told residents. “It is disappointing,” said Ms. Grogan. “I believe we need to demand covenants and restrictions in the contract prior to the vote. This could be a bad deal that doesn’t benefit the com- munity. It might even be a hardship.” In particular Ms. Grogan said that despite the listed purchase price at almost $5.2 million, “there is a $400,000 abatement for asbestos and there is no age stipulation in the con- tract,” she said. But Ken Aldrich, assistant superin- tendent for business, said “The price of $5.193 million is based on the building of 113 units, which is a build-out of about 20 units per acre,” he said. The $5.193 million purchase price is the reduced price and includes an abatement, explained Superintendent Brian Conboy. Additionally, said Ms. Grogan, if the Town of Hempstead does not approve the development of at least 100 units, “there is a reduction in the purchase price of $49,000 per unit.” But Mr. Aldrich said the number of units sold will “depend on what the [Town of Hempstead] zoning allows. They are seek- ing G.A.(Golden Age) zoning.” Golden Age zoning is for residents 55 and up. Does this kind of zoning limit chil- dren in the development? “That is something to take up with the town. I don’t know the exact specifics,” replied Mr. Aldrich. Could the contract be adjusted to insure Golden Age zoning or other con- cerns that might be raised at the infor- mational meeting on October 4? see page 4

Young mothers, professionals, stu-dents and retirees rallied with the SierraClub, the president of a solar companyand an engineering student at the Townof Hempstead’s Energy Park last week toimplore the Long Island Power Authorityto invest in clean, renewable energy forthe future.

The show of support for clean energycomes at a critical time, say advocates,as LIPA debates what direction to take indeveloping energy resources for LongIsland.

On Tuesday, October 2, LIPA’s boardof trustees were scheduled to meet tofinalize its energy plan for the nextdecade.

The rally also marked the launch of acall-in campaign to LIPA to urge offi-cials to chose clean energy options.

LIPA’s big decisionStanding in front of the wind turbine at

the Town of Hempstead’s Office ofWaterways and Conservation in PointLookout (Energy Park), EmmaBoorboor, a Sierra Club organizer, said,“LIPA has a big decision to make. Weneed to think about what makes sense forour future. How will we power homesand businesses in the next decade?”

The resounding response to that ques-tion by community members at the rallywas to invest in clean energy – both solarand wind power – renewable sources thatdon’t pollute the environment or make usdependent on foreign sources of energy.

“Our energy demands are enormous,”said Dan Sabia, president and founder ofBuilt Well Solar of Wantagh, whichinstalls solar panels on homes and busi-nesses.

“Today’s households and businessesare very different from a few years ago.LIPA is trying to keep up with the ever-increasing need for more and more elec-tricity. For the most part, the electricitywe all use here on Long Island is gener-ated in power plants that depend on fos-sil fuels.

“Now LIPA has the opportunity tohelp solidify Long Island’s position as aleader in renewable energy by movingforward with a clean energy proposalthat can make a difference to Long

Islanders today and especially for ourfuture,” said Mr. Sabia.

LIPA, state are failing?According to the Sierra Club, both the

State of New York and LIPA are failingto meet its renewable energy goals of30% renewable sources by 2013 set bythe state’s Renewable PortfolioStandard, which LIPA committed to.

“Every year, LIPA has made an effortto roll out new and improved programsthat provide incentives for energy con-servation and renewables,” said Mr.Sabia, pointing to the Solar PioneerProgram that provides rebates to home-owners who switch to solar energy, aswell as a recent “introduction of a feed-in tariff program for large-scale commer-cial solar projects. But we all know thatmore programs are needed; much moreneeds to be done to meet our growingdemands,” he said.

Additionally, LIPA is considering autility-scale 900-megawatt offshorewind energy project 30 miles east ofMontauk, along with a regional HVDCsubmarine transmission system to con-nect Long Island with additional energysources in New England.

Renewable Energy Long Islandrecently came out with a study that con-cludes that 100% clean, renewable elec-tricity is possible for Long Island by2030 but will require significant invest-ments.

Wind energy would account for morethan one-third of the Island’s electricityper year along with a mix of solar photo-voltaic, landfill gas, biomass andhydropower, and fossil fuel generators asback-up, said the study.

Back at the rally, Andre Robinson,an engineering student fromFarmingdale State College, said hehad a very specific vision for LongIsland’s future.

“As I sit in class, hearing about theprogress happening in other countries,I get really frustrated that I am notseeing this same progress that I knowis possible in my own backyard,” hesaid.

“The Long Island I would like tosee is leading the country in cleanenergy innovation because LIPAmade the right decision to invest in

clean energy now for our future.Because of this, the Long Island I seehas good job opportunities – jobs thatpay well and promote a healthy com-munity at the same time.”

Peter Gollon, energy chair of theLong Island Sierra Club, challengedLIPA to have the “courage” to makethis necessary change. “We are hereto tell them to find the courage to

actually lead us into the future ofrenewable energy where we all knowwe have to go,” he said.

“Our children and grandchildrencan’t wait while the LIPA board andthe governor, like the Cowardly Lionin ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ look to findtheir courage. Make the right decisionand invest in clean energy.”

BEAR CUB den of Seaford's Pack 239 recently visited Michael's inMassapequa. They went on a Creative Quest throughout the store. Betty, thestore representative, sent the boys off into the store in two teams in search ofscavenger hunt items. The boys had a blast! After that, the boys created self-portraits in the store's craft room. The boys who took part in the field trip wereLuke Bloom, Chris Colagiacomo, Jack Kollar, Michael Leighton, John Flock, JackBrown, Gregory Laurent, Tristen Silverstein, Hunter Cole and Cody Cole.

Residents discuss school sale

“The referendum doesn’t change. Itwill remain exactly as it is now,”replied Mr. Aldrich.

Back at the Seaford Harbor Civicmeeting, civic President Phil Francosaid, “It’s $23,000 to educate onechild. The superintendent said we canabsorb these kids but who knows.”

In an interview with The Citizen,Mr. Franco added that he had questionsabout the district’s ability to earn orsave money on this deal. “Does theincrease in tax revenue take intoaccount the increase in [school] enroll-ment? What happens if you have 50new children in the district? Where isthe [increase in] revenue?”

Mr. Aldrich said the figure of$23,000 per child “is a fallacy,” andincludes costs, like light and heat, thatdon’t change based on the number ofstudents. Furthermore, “what is thelikelihood of a lot of children in a 55-plus community – 10 or 15? Even ifthere are 50 more students, it may not

cost us more money.”Residents also want assurances if

the units don’t sell that the developerwill not turn the condominiums intorental units, as was done in a develop-ment in Westbury. “The developer wasquoted in Newsday [September 20]that he was looking to develop 2,000rental units on Long Island. We live ina single-family community and wewant it to stay that way,” saidMr.Franco.

Mr. Aldrich said the “firm that hasthis contract just completed a 400-unitdevelopment in East Meadow and hadgood fortune. They are confident theycan sell these units. They wouldn’toffer $5.2 million plus $2 million inteardown expenses,” he said.

Why hold the vote now, asked someresidents at last week’s civic meeting.Why not wait until spring?

“The district spends $100,000 a yearon an eyesore,” said Mr. Aldrich.“Where will we find the money to tearit down? We need to make a decisionregarding the erosion of cash and the

ARTIST RENDERING OF the proposed “Seasons of Seaford.”

Seaford Avenue School building sale vote Q & AQ-What happens to the money after

it is placed in the reserve fund?A-The Board of Education is required touse the funds over a period of up to 10years.

Q-What will the reserve money beused for?

A-The Board of Education will havethe responsibility each year to decidewhat amount of the reserve will be usedas the budget is prepared. It is plannedthat this additional revenue will enablethe district to retain, restore or expandprograms for students and make neededfacility repairs/improvements while com-plying with the New York State propertytax cap.

Q-When the district receives tax rev-enue from the proposed condomini-ums, how will the additional revenuebe used?

A-The additional tax revenue generat-ed by the new residences becomes part ofthe existing tax base of the district whendeveloping the budget each year andhopefully will enable us to retain, restoreand advance student programs.

Q-Is the district responsible for anycosts in taking the building down?A-No, the contract makes BK at Seaford,LLC responsible for all costs involved inthe demolition of the existing building.

Q-What does BK at Seaford, LLCenvision for the property?

A-The plan is to build between 100 and113 condominium units. The units will

be designated as housing for residents 55years of age or older. Initially, currentSeaford residents and their parents willbe offered purchase opportunities prior tonon-Seaford residents.

First floor units will feature 1,000square feet of living space and a 1,000square-foot basement which can be fin-ished. Second floor units will have a pri-vate elevator, cathedral ceilings, 1,000square feet of living space and an approx-imately 300 square-foot loft. All unitshave two bedrooms and two full bath-rooms. The community will have a cen-tral clubhouse, including a fitness centerand outdoor pool. The selling prices ofthe units will be in the $350,000-$400,000 range.

Q-What happens if the propositionpasses?

A-BK at Seaford, LLC will have theresponsibility of gaining all of the neces-sary zoning approvals and variances forthe project from the Town of Hempstead.The builder will not seek any tax relieffrom the town for the residences and willnot offer any subsidized units.

Q-Will the condominiums becomerental units if not sold?

A-No, the builder has expressed thatthese units are being built solely for sale.This will be specified by covenant withthe Town of Hempstead. The builders areconfident in their ability to sell all of theunits and have said they would not bebuying the property if they did notbelieve the units would sell.

Q-Will there be parking problems inthe area with all of new residents?

A-All units will have adequate parkingspots which are located inside the devel-opment. This should reduce any parkingissues in the surrounding area.

Q-What about additional traffic?A-While there may be a small increase

in overall traffic, it is expected that thiswill be spread out over the course of aday. Currently there are bottlenecks in thearea during the times that the fields areused when people park on both sides ofWaverly Avenue. With parking inside ofthe development, this will alleviate theissue around parking.

Q-Do we expect increased enroll-ment of students from these units?

A-Although the condominiums will befor residents 55 years of age and older,there is no restriction against childrenresiding in the community. The expecta-tion is that the projected student enroll-ment increases will be minimal and easi-ly managed and absorbed in our currentschools.

Q-Why doesn’t the district considerdemolishing the building and main-taining the property itself?

A-Due to environmental issues the costof the demolition of the building is inexcess of $2 million. Maintaining avacant property brings no revenue intothe district.

Q-Why doesn’t the district considerhaving the town or county take overthe property?

A-We engaged the Town in this discus-sion two years ago and they had no inter-est. The financial situation in the County

makes that possibility unrealistic.

Q-If no playing fields remain at theSeaford Avenue School, where willthose youth organizations go to play?

A-Nassau County and the Town ofHempstead provide excellent all-weatherfields at Washington Avenue Park, CedarCreek Park and Seaman’s Neck Park.The Harbor School athletic fields are alsoavailable and currently underutilized.

Q-What if the proposal is notapproved?

A-If the Board made a decision to mar-ket the property again they would need toenter into a contract with an agent andbegin the marketing process from thebeginning. Keep in mind that the districtwould continue to pay for annual mainte-nance on the building and property ofapproximately $100,000 and would notreceive any revenue from: A. the proceedsfrom the sale and B. the tax revenue.

Q-Where can I get more informa-tion about the sale of the property?

A-Please refer to the district websiteat www.seaford.k12.ny.us where allcurrent information will be posted. Formore information about BK at Seaford,LLC, please visit: http://www. engel-burman.com.

Q-Do I have to be a registered voterto vote on the referendum?

A-Yes. To register to vote or to obtainan absentee ballot, please call DistrictClerk Carmen Ouellette at 592-4013 byOctober 9. All Seaford residents 18years of age or older are encouraged tovote.

Dear parents:Guest Editorial by Dr. Donald Sternberg,

Wantagh Elementary School

Standardized assessment has grown exponentially. For example,last year New York State fourth graders, who are nine or ten yearsold, were subjected to roughly 675 minutes (over 11 hours) of stateassessments which does not include state field testing. This yearthere will be a state mandated pre-test in September and a secondmandated pre-test in January for all kindergarten through fifthgrade students in school. In April, kindergarten through fifth gradestudents will take the last test [assessment] for the year.

Excessive testing is unhealthy. When I went to school I wasnever over-tested and subsequently labeled with an insidious num-ber that ranked or placed me at a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 or Level4 as we do today. Do you want your child to know their assigned“Level”? What would the impact be on their self-esteem and self-worth at such a young age?

Of additional concern to me is the relationship between childrenand their teacher as we move into an era where teacher job status isbased upon student assessment scores. Guess what, some childrenwill become more desirable than others to have in class! And, con-versely, others will be less desirable. There, I wrote it! That conceptis blasphemy in our school where teachers live to prepare children tobe productive learners and members of society. Teachers statewideare worried that their relationship with students might change whenthey are evaluated based upon their students’ test scores. Teacherswant to educate students, not test prep them for job security.

Additionally, what should be shocking to you as a parent is thatstate and national databases are being created in order to analyzeand store students’ test scores – your child’s assessment results andyour child’s school attendance! Do you realize that the state hasmandated that classroom teachers must take attendance duringevery math, ELA, social studies and science lesson – every one,every day for the entire school year! Those records are sent to thestate and become statistically part of the teacher evaluation process.It will no longer be enough that your child “was in school.”

Rather, if he or she was at a band lesson or out of the room forextra help in reading and a math lesson was taking place in class,he or she will be noted as absent from that instruction. That willbe factored into the teacher evaluation. Thinking of taking yourchild to Disney World for a week during the school year or leavinga day or two early for a long weekend skiing? Think again! Thoseabsences will be recorded as illegal, missed seat time and sent tothe state – as mandated by the state.

This is all part of the massive, multi-million taxpayer dollarteacher evaluation processes started by our commissioner of edu-cation, our governor, and our state legislators and fully supportedby statisticians employed by the state and assessment-makingcompanies. No one in Albany is selecting to see the end of the jour-ney; that 98 percent of the students graduating from WantaghSchools go on to two- and four-year colleges. Their myopic viewis focused on the “parts,” not the whole. Who will eventually suf-fer? Your children!

The balance must now be struck between maintaining the specialnature of an elementary school setting and the cold and calculating

friends and relatives to save theirbooks to donate to the Friends of theLibrary Book Sale. If you are at agarage sale, encourage the sellers todonate any leftover books in goodcondition to the sale. This is a goodway to circulate a good book you haveread.

– Harry Loud

Dear parents…

final analysis rendered by statistics. Theuse of assessment data to drive instructionis a tenet of good educational practices.The use of assessment data to render ayearly prognostication of teacher compe-tency is ridiculous.

You have the greatest impact on yourchild’s school performance. Each teacheronly has your children for 180 days peryear and for less than six hours per day[minus lunch and recess times, art, music,and physical education classes]. It is ourexpectation that as partners in your child’seducation, you will be doing your part aswell. As part of any evaluation of studentperformance, Albany must simultaneous-ly be asking parents the following ques-tions:

• Does your child read at home eachday for at least 20 minutes?

• Do you read to your child every day?• Are math facts gone over daily until

they are known automatically?

• Is there a quiet location in the housefor homework time, and do you checkyour child’s homework each night?

• Is your child sent to school ready forthe day with a good breakfast following atleast eight hours of sleep?

Are after school activities monitored sothat your child is not “overbooked” andtheir stamina compromised?

Is your child in school daily [exceptwhen they are sick] and not taken out ofschool for any reason other than illness?

We will continue to have field trips,assemblies, and special school events butsome events will be curtailed or resched-uled with an eye toward prudent timesduring the school year to maximize stu-dent seat time. However, it is unmistak-able that we have entered into a new eraof educational practice with higher stakesthan ever before.

I look forward to working with you andyour child as we start our new school yearbecause….together we make a difference.
