Greenville board approves routine budget, personnel and ballot items, including a six‑bus proposition and a library proposition for the May ballot
Summary
At its Feb. 9 meeting the board approved minutes, finance reports, committee recommendations, personnel items, a resolution to present a six‑bus proposition to voters, a library proposition for the May 19 ballot, tuition rates used to bill other districts, contracts and multiple policy updates.
The Greenville Central School District Board of Education conducted several routine approvals on Feb. 9, 2026, passing motions by voice vote on minutes, financial reports, personnel items, committee recommendations and multiple policies.
Notable actions: the board approved a resolution authorizing a proposition to be placed before voters at the annual meeting to fund six buses (two small buses, three full‑size regular buses and one full‑size bus with storage compartments). District staff explained the resolution is drafted by attorneys to preserve flexibility about specific vehicle procurement and that supporting materials (the budget newsletter) will describe the district’s intended purchases.
The board also voted to place a library proposition on the annual ballot for May 19, 2026, authorized state‑set tuition rates for billing other districts in cases such as foster‑placement students (staff emphasized those rates are set by the state formula and approval allows the district to bill the amounts), and approved a health and welfare services contract with Bethlehem Central School District totaling $3,495 for the 2025–26 school year.
Other approvals included acceptance of the auditors’ single‑audit federal program report for year ending 06/30/2025 (Benadio CPAs), a joint defense agreement related to proceedings with the Albany Water Board, and a slate of policy updates forwarded by the policy committee. All items were approved by voice vote with no 'nay' votes recorded on the transcript.
