Batavia board approves contracts, CEQR declaration and new assistant director of special education position
Summary
The board approved the grouping of consent items, a communications contract, a cooperative STEM agreement with Global YMCA, a CEQR negative declaration for the 'BCSD Reimagine' capital project, and created an assistant director of special education position and its job description.
The Batavia City School District Board of Education approved several business items and personnel actions during its meeting, including contracts, a capital project environmental finding, and a new administrative position.
The board approved the grouping of consent agenda items following a motion and voice vote. It approved a contract with ESP Media Communications and Marketing covering July 1, 2025through June 2026; the transcript records a board member saying, "I'm abstaining," though no roll-call tally is shown.
Board members approved a cooperative agreement with Global YMCA Incorporated for implementation of STEM initiatives for district students after a motion, second and voice vote.
The board also passed a resolution "amending and confirming CEQR negative declaration" for a capital improvements project titled "BCSD Reimagine, shaping our schools for the future," clearing a procedural environmental review step for the project.
On staffing, the board adopted a resolution to create the position of assistant director of special education and approved the job description for that role; the transcript records that responsibilities were discussed with John Taylor before approval.
The motions were moved and seconded by board members in open session and approved by voice vote. The transcript does not include full roll-call tallies for each motion, so the precise yes/no counts are not available in the record.
What happens next: The district will implement the personnel changes and proceed with its capital planning under the CEQR finding. Contract and agreement implementation details (financial terms, performance metrics) were not read aloud in the transcript and are therefore "not specified" in this meeting record.
