Niagara‑Wheatfield board approves consensus agenda, personnel actions and grants tenure to Kylie Robinson; tax-cap preview set at 2.14%

At its regular meeting the Niagara‑Wheatfield Central School District board approved the consent agenda, handled personnel reports, and granted tenure to a teacher recommended by district leaders.

The board approved the consensus agenda for items 1–7 after a motion and second; the motion carried with recorded affirmative votes. The board then approved the personnel report with item 3 pulled for separate consideration. Later in the meeting, an administrator introduced Kylie Robinson from Tuscarora School and asked the board to consider tenure for her; following a motion and second, the board voted to grant Kylie Robinson tenure in the elementary-education tenure area.

An administrator who introduced the tenure item praised Robinson’s work during the pandemic and probationary years, saying she "has worked really hard during her probationary period" and that she is "a key and integral part of the very special culture" at Tuscarora.

The meeting included a public hearing on requested design revisions from Niagara Charter School; the board solicited comment and heard none. Business-office staff presented a preliminary tax-cap calculation due March 1: the tax-cap figure was calculated at 2.14% for the district under current exclusions, up from roughly 0.67% last year. Board members were advised that the figure can be updated on the state portal and that final state aid decisions may change the calculation, with April 1 cited as the expected date for final numbers.

Motions recorded in the meeting included the vote to exit executive session and enter open session earlier in the evening and the final motion to adjourn; all recorded motions carried.

What’s next: The board will consider the pulled personnel item separately, will finalize tax-cap entries after state guidance, and will participate in the component-district BOCES vote on April 21, 2026.
