Board approves budget transfers, pneumatics contract and student trip resolutions

The Saranac Lake Central School District Board of Education approved three separate resolutions during its March 2026 meeting.

Chair read and presented Resolution 0682025 to approve budgetary transfers; the motion was seconded and the Chair declared the resolution approved after verbal assent. The transcript records board assent; a full roll-call tally was not recorded in the meeting transcript.

Staff described a construction/contract item to finish pneumatic systems across district buildings and presented a resolution (identified in the meeting as 0692025) authorizing contracting for the remaining work (the presenter indicated a contract amount up to about $60,000). After brief discussion the Chair called the question and declared the resolution approved.

The board also revisited and approved a student travel resolution for the Spanish club trip to Guatemala and Belize (Resolution 0612245). Board members reviewed a safety-and-security guide from the trip vendor, noting the vendor’s use of regional offices and an on-call clinical team; staff described liability insurance and other vendor safeguards. A committee member asked about the vendor’s reputation and safety information; staff and other board members said the materials and prior review gave them confidence to approve the trip.

All three items were presented as motions and approved during the meeting. The transcript does not show full roll-call vote tallies or the names of movers and seconders for all motions; minutes or the official meeting packet should be consulted for final vote counts and contract details.
