The Marcellus Central School District board on March 23 approved a series of business items, including participation in a cooperative purchasing program, policy revisions, personnel approvals and propositions for the 2026 annual district meeting.
The board voted to authorize participation in the Oswego County BOCES Cooperative Purchasing Program (Item 5.1) after a motion by Justin and second by Jen; the chair called the motion carried. The board also agreed to forego a first reading of Policy 5670 (Records Management) so the district could meet an April 1 grant deadline, then approved the second and final reading of Policy 7522 (Concussion Management) and Policy 5670 (Records Management) on final vote.
On Item 5.4 the board established the propositions to appear on the ballot for the May 19, 2026 annual district meeting and election, including the budget, a Marcellus Free Library proposition and replacement vehicles described by staff as replacement buses including 65‑passenger models, a bus with a wheelchair lift and a 10‑passenger van. The board conducted a roll call for the proposition resolution.
Personnel items (6.1–6.7) were approved, with board members clarifying that Carrie Boyle will split a position with Lauren Soule. The board also approved a modification to the retirement resolution for Kathleen Ryan, changing her effective retirement date and ratifying an agreement incorporated into the minutes. The consent agenda (7.1–7.7) was approved without objection.
