Board accepts two backpack-program donations, approves personnel items
Summary
The Lake Placid Central School District board approved personnel consent items and accepted two donations — $2,425 from the Adirondack Community Foundation and $5,000 from the Kenan Family Charitable Fund — all votes recorded as 7–yes.
The Lake Placid Central School District Board of Education voted to approve routine personnel actions and accepted two separate donations for the district’s backpack program.
The board approved personnel consent items that included a CSEA bus-driver appointment, staff leaves of absence, appointment of an additional volunteer coach and other routine personnel matters. The motion to approve the personnel consent agenda was moved and seconded and the vote was recorded as seven in favor.
On donations, the board accepted a $2,425 check from the Adirondack Community Foundation earmarked for the district backpack program. The board separately accepted a $5,000 contribution from the Kenan Family Charitable Fund, also designated for the backpack program. Both donations were accepted by motion, second and a recorded vote of seven yes.
Why it matters: the donations will directly support the district’s backpack program, which provides supplies and support for students in need; the personnel approvals fill operational roles, including a bus-driver appointment that intersects with the meeting’s broader transportation discussion.
Next steps: accepted donations will be processed per Board policy 6255 (donations, gifts and grants); personnel changes take effect per district HR procedures.
