The remarks were made during board member comments and were presented as a summary of the safety meeting rather than a formal agenda item.

Stacy, a district staff member who presented the finance update, said the result “represents our strong financial standing.” She also told the board staff will return in July with recommendations to fund reserve accounts for the 2024–25 school year, with a focus on TRS funding and related items.

Stacy updated the board on the audit schedule: auditors identified as MMB completed internal-controls testing in May and will return in mid-August to complete the financial portion of the audit. She said Michael Wolf’s team will conduct a risk assessment for 2024–25 next week; that work follows completion of the 2023–24 audit work.

Stacy also said changes to accounting standards for compensated absences have introduced a new factor: a “sick bank” that will affect calculations of liabilities. She said she has been waiting for final guidance to calculate the compensated-absence liability and will present reserve recommendations in July.

These items were presented as informational updates; the board did not take formal action on borrowing or reserves at the June 11 meeting.","Officials told the board five bids on long-term borrowing produced an interest rate under 3.5%, below the 4.5% budgeted rate; staff will return with reserve funding recommendations in July and auditors will complete the financial-stage work in August.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6200002,"Cohoes district schedules public hearing, summer rollout for student device pouches",110,1719000,1829000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3820137-c72b19e62a47dcb3c99b820dd47cbbc4&start=1719&end=1829","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3820137-c72b19e62a47dcb3c99b820dd47cbbc4/thumbnail_1719000.jpg","/articles/6200002/New-York/Cohoes-district-schedules-public-hearing-summer-rollout-for-student-device-pouches","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200002-b11659e83f2d2dc43c9ca42b711f5662/orig.mp4?Expires=1773676665&Signature=dlMDi1F2~gHiQ2ocTimCpETNMlUU273pE1utZpnQIWpXNHegF8CdsDLqNIChU4~KQOERbhP-RvDh2Md~1DEgreP~Lhb00Z0zIUsTU9V9DQEKZGUoenvsISiZj88RCuYi3gCVVprQLpEzT~7Hz9~XcQ9XjwUgxo~iEgxS1F-F~ezHETnPj9oNTqpFKm8g9wPfpmAKkvGwTm6L2jF8ugeCTQqe~K7tMqQM934-BRn6CmvZuC-5QBLk28i6xXEy4FXfa4JJqQHO2WiFRsJvVs~XCmgFvvFtkKT3bUULmcD-W9npRAIS3udb9XRrKq8uAWedIR4pdvD4QVOttfOIJbwazw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cohoes City School District will send parent communication the week of June 23 about student device pouches and hold a public hearing July 2 to incorporate updated language into the district code of conduct and an electronic-device policy, Superintendent O'Shea told the Board of Education on June 11.

The hearing will address the district's required student and personnel electronic device policy; O'Shea said staff training is set for Sept. 2 and the pouch rollout will begin the first full week of school. District leaders also plan a joint presentation Aug. 18 and said they will invite parents from schools that have already implemented the program so families can hear from them in advance of freshman orientation.

O'Shea told the board the district has already conducted training sessions with staff and will continue family and staff outreach over the summer, and that updated materials will be posted on the district website. Principal Tarlo confirmed the rollout will include schoolwide conversations and distribution during the first week of classes.

Board members voiced general support during the meeting. One board member said she was “very excited about the rollout” and that she had confidence administrators “will do what’s right for the students,” while another said the middle and high school teams have coordinated closely.

No formal vote on the policy occurred at the June 11 meeting; the board scheduled the July 2 public hearing for the code-of-conduct changes and the electronic-device policy, at which the board may take formal action.","The Cohoes City School District told the board it will send parent notices the week of June 23, hold a July 2 code-of-conduct hearing and begin staff training and a schoolwide rollout in the fall for student device pouches.","actionData","errors"]
