Board approves routine consent items, election notice and Proposition 2 authorization; health‑care audit accepted
Summary
At the March 25 meeting the board unanimously approved the consent agenda (personnel and routine business), authorized publication of the district election notice including Proposition 2 (expenditure authorization for buses and capital items), appointed business staff signatories and purchasing agents, and accepted the health‑care benefits audit.
The Ithaca City School District Board on March 25 took a series of formal votes on routine and time‑sensitive items.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included personnel reports, accounts, and minutes of prior meetings. The consent motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; one board member noted an abstention only for the minutes portion of the packet.
The board approved a resolution calling the 2025 annual district meeting and election, including the polling locations and the publication schedule for the legal notice. The board also authorized placing a Proposition 2 measure on the ballot to permit the district to expend funds on specified capital items and additional buses; the board clarified the resolution authorizes expenditure, not new borrowing or a capital‑project vote in May. The motion to adopt the election notice and Proposition 2 language was moved by Jill and seconded by Todd and carried unanimously on a voice vote.
The board authorized signatures and purchasing authority for business officers: Assistant Superintendent for Business Doctor Dominic Lisi was authorized as purchasing agent and to sign state reports; Emily (assistant school business executive; name shown in board materials) was authorized as deputy purchasing agent and co‑signer on specified disbursement authorizations. The board also appointed Laurie Mudge as treasurer and delegated investment authority to the assistant superintendent for business and treasurer in accordance with education‑law provisions.
The board accepted the 2023–24 health‑care benefits internal audit. The audit found generally strong internal controls; auditors noted one instance in which a health benefit continued to be paid after employment ended and the district reported corrective steps already taken.
These votes were recorded as unanimous voice votes unless noted in the minutes. Where votes were recorded as unanimous, no roll‑call tallies were given in the live record.
