Board approves Ulster BOCES budget, CSEA memorandum of agreement and board vacancies
Summary
The Rondout Valley Central School District board adopted the Ulster County BOCES administrative budget of $6,993,083 for 2025–26, approved several Ulster BOCES board vacancies, and accepted a supplemental memorandum of agreement with the district's CSEA custodial and maintenance unit, all as part of the consent agenda.
The Rondout Valley Central School District board approved the Ulster County BOCES administrative budget for the 2025–26 school year totaling $6,993,083, accepted a supplemental memorandum of agreement with the Rondout Valley School District CSEA custodial and maintenance unit, and approved BOCES board vacancy nominations during the meeting.
Superintendent Elliott (speaker 4) presented the recommended motions. The board voted to adopt the Ulster County BOCES administrative budget as presented. The hearing record shows the motion carried with no recorded opposition.
The board also approved a supplemental memorandum of agreement between the district and the CSEA custodial and maintenance unit; a copy of the agreement will be incorporated by reference into the minutes. Board members thanked committee representatives for negotiating the agreement.
On BOCES governance matters the board approved nominations to fill Ulster BOCES vacancies: Barbara Carroll (Seat 1, New Paltz), Lucy Van Sickle (Seat 2, Rondout), Willie Bruce (Seat 3, at-large) and Suzanne Jordan (Seat 4, at-large).
Why it matters: Adopting the BOCES administrative budget finalizes the district—s share of regional cooperative services financing and confirms local representation on the BOCES board; approving the CSEA memorandum addresses contract terms for custodial and maintenance staff and was handled on the consent agenda for efficiency.
Next steps: The motions and supporting documents will be included in the meeting minutes and any administrative follow-up (contract filing, budget reporting) will be completed by district staff.
