Harpursville Central School District Afton Central School District Harpursville Logo Afton Logo AFTON AND HARPURSVILLE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS ANNOUNCE INNOVATIVE SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR TRANSPORTATION SUPERVISOR Candidate with Decades of Experience in the Industry Appointed in Harpursville to Lead Transportation Departments for Both Districts October 24, 2024– The Boards of Education of the Afton Central School District and the Harpursville Central School District today announced a collaborative agreement to share the services of a Transportation Supervisor, aimed at enhancing efficiency while ensuring safety in student transportation. This shared services model, which will be effective November 4, is designed to optimize resources while maintaining lofty standards of service for both districts. The arrangement allows for the employment of a full-time Transportation Supervisor at the Harpursville Central School District who will oversee and coordinate the transportation systems of both Afton and Harpursville via an intermunicipal cooperative agreement with the Afton Central School District. The districts agreed to appoint Kenneth Starr to fill the position. Mr. Starr has spent more than 30 years working in the transportation industry. He has direct experience supervising staff, fleet, maintenance, training, schedules and budgeting at two area school districts. Mr. Starr has a comprehensive list of certifications, has participated on numerous committees, and has spoken extensively on school transportation safety throughout his career. To ensure cost efficiency and to allocate resources for other programs, the districts will share all costs associated with the position. Mr. Starr, who will be an employee of the Harpursville Central School District, will rely on the knowledge and experience of each district’s existing transportation staff and integrate best practices from both communities to drive improvements. Under the terms of the intermunicipal cooperative agreement, he will spend 50% of his time in Harpursville and 50% of his time in Afton over the course of a school year so as to ensure regular presence and support for transportation staff and operations in both districts. “Sharing a transportation supervisor is an opportunity for our neighboring districts to collaborate and improve both our transportation solutions and financial standing,” said Health Georgia, Superintendent of Harpursville Central School District. “ "This agreement reflects a commitment to innovation and resourcefulness from both our districts," said Dr. Terrance Dougherty, Interim Superintendent of Afton Central School District. “We are sharing the expertise of a seasoned professional while maintaining the safety of our school communities.” The agreement is set to run until June 30, 2026, with annual reviews to assess its effectiveness and adjust, as necessary. ### Afton Central School District Harpursville Central School District

The decision comes following weeks of planning meetings by the Crimson Renaissance Facilities Planning Study Team, which was given the assignment to review a 2020 Building Condition Survey and prioritize a number of projects for Board approval. The study team identified $12 million in impactful initiatives that fall fully within budgetary constraints and ensures no additional taxpayer expense related to the capital project. “We are proud to authorize a project that addresses immediate needs for our school community and with no additional burden on taxpayers,” said Jim Parkinson, Afton CSD Board of Education President. “This project promises a safer, more inclusive environment that prepares our students for the future.” AFTON CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION AUTHORIZES CAPITAL PROJECT FOR COMMUNITY REFERENDUM Proposed $12 million plan will improve infrastructure, safety, and functionality, upgrade school facilities for optimized learning experiences, and enhance facilities to support co-curricular activities “The study team’s thorough review has pinpointed projects that will truly transform our school community,” said Dr. Terrance Dougherty, Afton CSD Interim Superintendent. “We invite the entire community to join us in making these priority projects a reality.” Board authorization is a critical step towards putting this investment opportunity up for community wide vote, which will take place on December 10, 2024. December 12 will be the alternate voting date in the event of a weather related cancellation. The community is encouraged to use this time to learn more about the project through a special section on the District website www.aftoncsd.org. It includes additional project specifics, and updates following each meeting of the Crimson Renaissance Facilities Planning Study Team. THE PROJECT INCLUDES: • Infrastructure, safety, and functionality improvements, enhancing accessibility, upgrading utility systems, building restoration, and optimizing transportation facilities. • Identifying space and functionality for expanded Agriculture CTE programs, a new STEAM Fab Lab, and a reimagined multimedia library for collaborative learning. • Quality and accessibility improvements to co-curricular and athletic facilities, enhancing gym environments, upgrading pool locker rooms, and ensuring ADA compliance for community engagement and safety.
