Mineola board accepts clean audit, approves consensus agenda and records donations
Summary
The Mineola Union Free School District board accepted the certified financial statements for year ending 06/30/2024 after auditors reported no material findings, approved the consent agenda including clubs and advisors, and noted a $10,000 Booster Club donation for a high‑school table.
The Mineola Union Free School District Board of Education voted to accept the district’s certified financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2024, and approved the consent (consensus) agenda at its regular meeting.
Resolution 26: audit and financial statements The board adopted Resolution 26 to accept the certified financial statements and the external audit. The motion was made by Cheryl Ampicona and seconded by Patrick Tolte. Bridal Herman, the assistant superintendent for business and operations, told the board the audit committee had met with the auditors in executive session and reported "there are no material findings, a clean report, very good standing." Herman added that once the board approved the report staff would file it by the 15th to meet compliance timelines.
Resolution 27: consensus agenda and activities The board then approved Resolution 27 to adopt the consensus agenda (items J1a through J4b4), which includes the approval of 145 activities, club advisors and related routine personnel items. The motion was made by Stacy DeSilas and seconded by Brian (last name not specified in the transcript). During the vote one member registered an abstention; the board declared the motion carries.
Other items Trustees noted a $10,000 donation from the Booster Club earmarked for a high‑school square table, and thanked long‑time staff member Kathy Watson on her upcoming retirement. The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn made by Cheryl Ampicona and seconded by Patrick Tolte.
What happened in the meeting: two formal board actions were recorded (Resolution 26 and Resolution 27); both carried. The audit report was described to the board as clean and without material findings; the district will file the report by the 15th to meet reporting requirements.
