It doesn’t matter what kind of a call it is. The only time they may not go is if a paramedic decides for some reason that they shouldn’t, or if the student is uncomfortable.

I don’t know of any time that that has happened, and I’ve been doing this a long time. . . They help the paramedics, they help the [emergency medical technicians (EMTs)], they know where all the equipment is on our ambulances. They are incredible.”

Mitchell highlighted one of CAVAC’s student volunteers who is enrolled in an EMT course and is expected to become a licensed EMT at just 17 years old.

Following Mitchell’s overview of the program, the BOE applauded the two student corps members in attendance at the meeting

Mitchell attributed the low student turnout at the meeting to the fact that many of the student corps members are involved in multiple other extracurricular activities.

She also pointed out that student corps member Grace Probe was out on a stroke call at the time of the meeting.

“Grace was supposed to be on from 4 to 6 p.m.,” Mitchell said. “They do two-hour shifts, but she is now with a stroke patient headed into Syracuse. That’s the kind of work these kids do, so they are not only role models for their peers, but they are an excellent example for the community.”

After the board recognized the CAVAC student corps members, BOE member David Mehlbaum acknowledged that there are currently three Cazenovia students — one senior and two juniors — volunteering with the Cazenovia Fire Department.

According to New, the YAC is a group of students that has been actively helping to market the Unified Sports teams.

“The Youth Activation Committee makes signs and banners for the team and helps to spread the word for fans to attend the home games,” New said. “. . . It’s been a great experience for everyone involved.” MacIntosh also remarked on the farreaching impact Unified Sports have had on the CCSD community.

The board authorized the district to enter a purchase & installation contract with Toth’s Sports for three electronic scoreboards as part of the district’s ongoing $10.7 million athletic fields project, which the voters approved in March 2022.

The contract provides for one large scoreboard for the primary athletic competition field and two smaller scoreboards for the upper practice/secondary competition field. The total cost for the purchase and installation of the three scoreboards is $384,585, which is fully within the budget of the voter-approved project.
