The Honeoye Central School District board heard a multi‑part academic update on Oct. 25 focused on data‑driven instruction, expanded college‑level opportunities and implementation of a regional distance‑learning grant.
Nate Schneckenberger outlined a process of analyzing three years of assessment data to identify standards where the district is either at least 10 percentage points above or below regional performance; teachers then developed action plans by department to create vertical alignment and target instruction.
Schneckenberger presented recent progress reports showing percentages of middle and high school students passing all courses and noted movement during the first marking period. He also responded to questions about whether missing Spanish instruction contributed to some grade‑level failures and said the pattern was mixed.
On college access, Schneckenberger said 34 individual students are currently enrolled in AP classes with a projection of 37 AP exams this year (three students are taking two AP classes). He said the district removed the financial barrier for AP exams by covering exam costs so students who qualify academically can take the tests regardless of ability to pay; he also reported 195 enrollments in college‑level courses through Gemini, FLCC and AP offerings.
The distance‑learning grant equipment has been received and is staged for installation; Schneckenberger said document preparation and contractor scheduling aim to have equipment installed by May 2025 so shared or remote courses can begin in the following school year. He described the model as a regional collaboration that requires aligning bell schedules with partner districts to share courses.
Schneckenberger also announced National Honor Society induction (17 new inductees) and family‑facing workshops on financial aid: an information night Nov. 19 (6–7 p.m.) and an on‑site FAFSA workshop the evening of Dec. 16 to help families complete and submit forms with Geneseo representatives.
Board members praised the approach and the removal of the exam fee barrier.
