Summary
The board adopted the agenda, approved multiple contract items (furniture and capital abatement) and appointed Amy Crewell as transportation director. The draft 2026–27 calendar, which starts the school year the day after Labor Day with staff returning earlier, was presented for final approval at a future meeting.
The Shenendehowa Central School District board approved several routine action items at the meeting, including contract awards and a staffing appointment.
Procedural items: the board adopted the meeting agenda by voice vote early in the session.
Contracts and capital projects: the board approved a furniture contract for Ettrea (vendor referenced as Denco) and approved a capital abatement item (Atlantic) tied to middle‑school projects; motions were made, seconded and passed by voice vote.
Staffing: the board approved a staffing resolution to appoint Amy Crewell as the district’s transportation director. Following the vote the board invited Crewell to introduce herself to the group.
Calendar: staff presented a draft 2026–27 school calendar that sets the first student day as the day after Labor Day. Because Labor Day is late in the calendar year in 2026 staff will return on the third (of September) and students on the eighth; the district aims for 184 school days (typical range 183–186). The calendar will be returned to the board for final approval at a subsequent meeting.
