The Beacon City School District Board of Education took several procedural and formal actions during its May 5 meeting, recording unanimous or near-unanimous approval for routine business and matters tied to previously authorized spending.
BOCES runoff vote The board cast the district’s single vote in a Dutchess BOCES runoff election between Bryce Holland (Kipsey City) and Mark Flushauer (Rhinebeck). The board voted unanimously for Bryce Holland by visual/hand vote.
Superseding bond resolution for buses Board members approved a superseding bond resolution to borrow funds to pay for buses originally authorized on last year’s ballot.
