Summary
The board approved a reduction to a capital project change order, the sale of a student-built modular home, a cooperative software purchase through BOCES and staffing appointments for new high-school leadership.
The Shenendehowa Central School District Board of Education approved multiple action items during its business session, voting unanimously on a bundled set of administrative and operational matters.
The board approved a capital-project change order that district staff described as a reduction; the presenter stated the change order reduces project costs "to the tune of" approximately $1,596 as read during the meeting. Board members approved the motion unanimously.
Separately, the board approved the sale of a student-built modular home. The board discussed minimum-bid procedures and buyer requirements tied to the receiving region; the motion approving the sale passed unanimously.
The board also approved a cooperative purchase through BOCES for an incident-management/security product referred to in meeting remarks as "CrowdStrike" (transcript said "Crown Strike"), which staff said they are buying through BOCES to take advantage of cooperative purchasing and group pricing. The motion to purchase that product through BOCES passed unanimously.
On staffing, the board approved appointments to the high-school leadership team: Jackie Michalski as associate principal and Jason Belknap and Jacqueline Coughlin as assistant principals. The board congratulated the appointees after the vote; the staffing motion passed unanimously.
