Millcreek Township SD board accepts CAFR and single-audit, approves IDEA subgrants and Erie County Technical School budget
Summary
The board accepted the annual comprehensive financial report and single audit, approved two IDEA subgrant contracts, accepted student-account officer appointments and approved the Erie County Technical School 2025–26 budget; one board member recorded a dissent on the ECTS budget.
Millcreek Township SD’s board voted to accept the district’s annual comprehensive financial report (CAFR) and single-audit report, approved subgrant contracts for special-education funding under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and approved the Erie County Technical School (ECTS) budget for 2025–26.
The audit was presented by a staff member identified as Mister O'Toole. The audit packet was publicly advertised for the required period before acceptance. Board members praised the work; one member said, “I really did read every page of both the single audit and the, the CAFR. And it was, well done. Lots of information. You did you and your team did a great job.” A motion to approve the CAFR and single-audit report (agenda item 3.06) passed with an affirmative voice vote (no detailed roll-call tally in the transcript).
The board took two subgrant items together. Agenda item 3.07 covered a subgrant contract for implementation of IDEA Part B; the amount stated in the meeting transcript was garbled as “$1000507.73.80” (amount not specified precisely in the record). Agenda item 3.08 covered a subgrant contract under IDEA Section 619 with an amount the transcript reports as $16,060. The board moved to approve 3.07 and 3.08 together; the motion passed on voice vote (no roll-call in the transcript).
The board approved the Erie County Technical School 2025–26 budget (agenda item 3.09). Board liaison Mister Lindner reported that the ECTS budget shows a 3.31% increase to Millcreek’s district contribution level and an overall program spending increase the liaison described as about 9%. Lindner said ECTS added three programs in the past year — cosmetology, protective services and construction trades — and that the school has increased state subsidy and is applying lease revenue to capital. Lindner also said Millcreek’s participation at ECTS has trended downward, producing about a $9,000 decrease in what the district pays annually. The motion to approve the ECTS budget passed on voice vote with one recorded no vote by Board member Hintz (transcript line: “Hintz nay”).
The board also approved item 3.1 (student activity account officers for McDowell Intermediate High School) and moved multiple finance items to the end-of-month board meeting per the agenda schedule.
