Summary
At its meeting the Gates Chili Board approved the 2025–2026 property tax levy, authorized APPR training certifications, approved a custodial/security MOA adding a head security worker stipend, and upheld a transportation department determination on appeal; votes were recorded as unanimous.
The Gates Chili Central School District Board of Education on Monday approved several action items including the district’s 2025–2026 property tax levy, training certifications for staff evaluators, a memorandum of agreement with custodial and security staff, and a decision to uphold a student transportation appeal.
On the property tax levy, the board voted unanimously to approve the 2025–2026 levy as presented. The meeting record shows the board asked for a motion and then recorded the vote as unanimous; a roll-call of individual votes was not included in the transcript.
The board also approved APPR (Annual Professional Performance Review) training certification for Michael Perkins and Andrew Chistepo, citing completion of training through Monroe 2–Orleans BOCES (training dates referenced in the meeting record include July and August 2025 and 08/06/2025). The board approved a memorandum of agreement with the custodial/maintenance/security association (CSEA) to establish a head security worker stipend.
The board considered an appeal by a student regarding a determination by the transportation department (Appeal No. 1). After deliberation the board moved to uphold the transportation department’s determination and recorded the motion as approved.
Most votes at the meeting were recorded as unanimous; the transcript does not list individual board member votes, nor does it provide text of some motions or motions’ movers and seconders. The board also approved the consent/consensus agenda and multiple consent items as a group.
The superintendent provided routine back-to-school and staffing updates and said the district hired 65 new staff members since July 1 and would welcome applicants for open teacher aide positions. The board adjourned at the close of the meeting.
