During the June 17 meeting the Rome board approved the consent agenda and multiple resolutions: a UPK contract, a Day Automation security and camera contract (~$96,986.70), creation of a capital reserve (up to $10M), acceptance of the BOCES budget and a slate of HR agreements and positions.
The Rome City School District Board of Education approved its consent agenda on June 17 and passed a series of resolutions covering finance, procurement and human resources.
Among the approvals: a contract with Mohawk Valley Community Action Agency for UPK services at $6,000 per child for the 2025–26 term; a Day Automation contract for turf camera systems and installation at RoamFree Academy with an authorization not to exceed $96,986.70; and a resolution establishing a 2025 capital reserve fund with a maximum amount not to exceed $10,000,000 and a probable 10‑year term.
The board also approved the Madison‑Oneida BOCES final budget for 2025–26, accepted donations including guardian caps and CPR kits, authorized participation in the NYCLASS program, and approved a cooperative bidding agreement for school supplies and lunch commodities.
Human resources resolutions passed included acceptance of an external clinical agreement with Utica University, a memorandum of agreement regarding donation of sick days with multiple union units, a settlement agreement with the Rome Teachers Association, and the creation of new civil service positions (director of district safety and security, assistant personnel director and nurse practitioner). The board also authorized the ROC to negotiate data privacy agreements on the district’s behalf under Ed Law 2‑d and approved amended election write‑in tabulations while confirming Johnny Rowland as the winner with 371 votes.
All items on the consent and subsequent resolution blocks were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote; the minutes record unanimous "Aye" responses with no recorded "Noes."
