Board to study revenue-generation options; June deep dive planned
Summary
Board members supported researching new or expanded revenue sources and recommended an internal staff review followed by a community-informed committee; the discussion will be included in a broader June deep dive on facilities and revenue.
At the meeting—s "old business" item, trustees discussed forming a committee of staff and community members to identify and evaluate potential revenue-generating opportunities for the district over a multi-year horizon.
Miss Maloney (Speaker S4) proposed bringing community members together with school staff to explore stable and supplemental revenue ideas (three- to five-year horizon), noting previous district experience with variable revenue streams such as entertainment contracts. Other trustees recommended an initial internal review by district cabinet and staff to inventory currently used approaches and to assess legal limits under New York law before engaging a broader community conversation.
Participants emphasized distinguishing near-term, budget-season items (facility fees, lease purchases, field sponsorships) from longer-term programmatic proposals (career and technical education expansions). The board agreed the June deep dive is the appropriate venue to present a consolidated set of potential revenue generators and to identify which ideas require advocacy or capital investments to become viable.
No formal committee was created at this meeting; trustees directed staff to prepare materials for the June review and to separate CTE/programmatic conversations from shorter-term revenue items.
