At its Dec. 8 meeting, the Scotia‑Glenville Board of Education approved a package of motions and resolutions alongside the high‑profile vote to adopt a three K–5 elementary configuration for 2026–27.
Key outcomes: • Grade‑configuration motion: Passed. The board approved administration’s recommendation to operate three K–5 elementary schools in 2026–27. The motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. • Shared service agreement (item 6): The board approved a transportation shared service agreement with a neighboring district to coordinate student transportation. • Capital improvement contracts (resolution 7 and related): The board awarded contracts for project controls and security solutions for the 2024 capital improvement work; administration explained awards used OGS state contract procurement to leverage vetted state pricing rather than running a local competitive bid. • Donations (resolutions 9–12): The board accepted multiple donations and scholarship gifts as listed on the agenda (amounts and recipients detailed in the agenda packet). • Revised Board policy 1500: The board approved an update to public‑use policy 1500 and asked the policy committee to review submitted edits over winter break and return recommended changes to the board.
Votes on routine consent and resolution items were taken by voice vote; the transcript records the motions, seconds and the motion outcomes but does not include detailed roll‑call tallies in the public record during the meeting. Administration said the capital project is expected to be partially reimbursed (approximately 74%) upon completion.
