Board approves senior trip and routine items; changes voting venue and hours
Summary
The Batavia City School District board approved a senior-class trip to New York City and a package of routine motions, and adjusted voting venue and hours ahead of an upcoming election.
The Batavia City School District board voted on several routine and time-sensitive items during the meeting, including approval of the senior-class trip, grouping of consent items, temporary voting‑venue and hours changes, authorization for contract signatures on a district capital project and adoption of budget guidelines and calendar.
Senior trip approval A motion to approve the senior class trip to New York City was moved and seconded; the board called the question and recorded the voice vote as unanimous in favor (“All in favor? Aye.”). The senior-trip presentation had described a two-day itinerary (coach bus to New York, Times Square, dinner, a Broadway show, overnight in Newark, an observation-deck visit and Staten Island ferry/9/11 Memorial) and noted that costs would vary depending on student sign-ups and that individual fundraising accounts would offset fees.
Consent grouping and other procedural votes The board approved a motion to group consent items. The board postponed one contract (Winter Guard) until next month. The board approved a motion to temporarily change the district’s voting venue for the year from Robert Morris to John Kennedy, citing limited public access at Robert Morris during its capital project. The board then approved voting hours of 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the upcoming vote period.
Contract-signature authority and budget calendar The board authorized the superintendent to sign contracts on behalf of the district for the 2023 BCSD reimagine capital project (signature authorization after award). The board also approved the 2026–27 BCSD budget guidelines and budget calendar as presented.
Executive session After finishing public business the board moved into executive session to discuss “medical and financial credit or employment history of a particular person or corporation or matters leading to the appointment, employment,” and stated it would not return to public session.
