Board approves revised budget, facilities renovation and routine items

The West Point School Board voted to approve several routine fiscal and facilities items and to forward a revised budget to town council.

After motions and seconding, the board approved expenditures and revenue reports, cafeteria expenditures, personnel recommendations and donations. The board then approved a revised budget that staff said incorporates reductions discussed with the town and will be sent to town council for final consideration.

A separate vote approved a renovation of the existing weight/training room rather than building a standalone structure. Staff presented drawings and a proposal for $65,493 to cover equipment, installation and flooring; the figure does not include painting, which the division said it would attempt to complete internally.

Other votes at the meeting included approval of student fees for the 2026–27 school year (no significant changes reported) and annual reapproval of routine policies (B D D and J M). Each action was moved, seconded and carried with board members responding 'Aye.'

Board procedure: Most motions were taken without recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript; recorded outcomes in the meeting audio were unanimous 'Aye' responses to the chair’s calls for a vote.

What’s next: The revised budget will proceed to the town council for consideration; the weight-room project will move to implementation planning with staff determining where athletic training operations will be relocated during work.
