  Later on in August or September, we will have some additional public meetings," said Jerome Steele, Maplewood principal, superintendent and business manager.
  
  A 26-member committee, formed of North Colonie and Maplewood district staff, students and residents, put together a feasibility of the annexation. Much of that study guided voter reaction in the May vote.The additional public meetings to occur in both districts will follow up on that information leading up to the final vote, said Steele.
  ...
  Maplewood students won't notice much of a change, said Steele.
  ...
  For Steele, the annexation is about continued services to both Maplewood and North Colonie students, he said.Especially as Colonie's Boght area in the north, bordering Cohoes and portions of Maplewood continues to develop. Maplewood could serve to meet a growing demand in that area, said Steele.

  'Maplewood's formula for success is quite basic' -... - [Cached Version]

  Principal Jerome Steele, who is also the superintendent and business manager, sits behind a '60s-era steel desk inside a cramped office where files are stuffed in cardboard boxes.
  
  There's no high-tech gadgetry and you won't hear the latest educational jargon such as "assessment" (a test), or "mastery focused" (pushing students to do well).
  
  Maplewood also has among the lowest-paid public school teachers in the Capital Region, earning up to $20,000 less than their peers.
  
  It's living proof that money alone won't fix problems in education.For the past several years, this 190-student, K-8 school has placed at or near the top of standardized literacy tests.
  ...
  "It's predominantly a blue-collar neighborhood," Steele said.
  
  Located in a hamlet of Colonie between Watervliet and Cohoes, the neighborhood is filled with modest homes.
  
  Trucks whiz by barely a stone's throw away on Interstate 787.A lumber warehouse sits across the street.
  
  The neighboring St. Basil's Russian Orthodox Church, with its distinctive onion dome architecture, is the most visible sign of Maplewood's history as an enclave of Polish, Russian and Ukrainian immigrants who settled here in the late 19th century.
  
  While the school has become far more diverse, Russian is still taught starting in first grade.
  ...
  That bond, say both teachers and Steele, might be one of the real keys to success here.
  
  "They are invested not only in Maplewood but they are invested in the kids," Steele said of his staff.

  Jerry Steele, Superintendent of the Maplewood School District, concurred."We have a very small district and don't have a large staff or resources, so we need to network with others and also work with BOCES when we focus on the standards," he noted."It was interesting to hear at the institute that even the larger districts have similar concerns, like the appropriateness of the assessments and the avoidance of 'teaching to the test'."
  
  Whether the topic of discussion was the standards, assessment and testing, or challenges faced by school districts large or small, workshop presenter Barnett Sturm, Superintendent of Cairo-Durham Schools, said it best at the institute: "What we are about is student achievement," he said while leading a workshop on the standards and technology."We want to stay focused on the connection between teaching and student achievement."
