Revere Local board approves consent agenda including personnel moves, contracts, student fees and Washington, D.C. trip

The Revere Local School District Board of Education approved a group of consent and action items covering financial reports, personnel actions, contracts and district programs during its regular meeting.

Treasurer and superintendent staff packaged multiple routine items for board action and the board approved them by roll-call votes. Treasurer remarks framed the financial report as a timing issue: “The financial report, on the surface looks awful through March, but it's really timing of tax advances,” the treasurer said, adding that tax timing left the district “about 2.3 [million] to the negative for that month.” The treasurer also reviewed seven purchase orders this month that exceeded $3,000 and five donations totaling $7,700: $1,500 from Bath Volunteers for Service (Washington, D.C. trip support), $1,000 for Active Minds, $200 for Girls with Grit, $2,500 from the Carson Strong Foundation for a scholarship fund, and $2,500 from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation for a superintendent conference.
