Summary
The High Point board approved blocks of routine personnel, extracurricular and finance items, authorized transportation contracts and accepted a $2,000 donation from Thorlabs to support a STEM event with Wallkill Valley.
The High Point Regional High School Board approved multiple routine action items during its March 17 meeting, including personnel appointments, extracurricular volunteer positions, finance reports and several transportation contracts.
Personnel and extracurricular: The board moved items 1–5 under personnel together and approved them, including recommendations for volunteer coaches and unified track aides for the 2024–25 school year. Votes were recorded in the affirmative.
Finance and contracts: The board approved finance items 1–5 (February secretary and treasurer reports, transfers, audited bills dated March 17, and reconciliations for district accounts) and later approved additional finance items including facility‑use requests and authorization to execute listed tuition contracts with sending districts.
Transportation: The board approved six transportation‑related items — contracts, agreements, renewals and a trip — which the Chair characterized as standard approvals requiring board authorization.
Donation: The board gratefully acknowledged and accepted a $2,000 donation from Thorlabs to support an annual STEM lead event with Wallkill Valley; board members praised Thorlabs' partnership and potential student opportunities.
