Scotia-Glenville board approves BOCES budget, SEQRA classification and several routine resolutions
Summary
The board approved the BOCES 2026–27 administrative budget and nominees, adopted a SEQRA type‑2 classification for a building/site improvement project, approved a tax‑certiorari settlement and an emergency pesticide application, and accepted several gifts and staffing items by voice vote.
At its meeting the Scotia‑Glenville Central School District Board approved a package of routine and permissive actions by voice vote.
The board moved and approved the BOCES 2026–27 administrative budget and confirmed nominees for the BOCES board that serves Albany, Schoharie, Schenectady and Saratoga counties. A separate motion appointed poll clerks and inspectors for the annual district election.
On capital procedure, the board approved a resolution classifying a proposed building and site improvements project as a "type two action" under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), a procedural step the district said allows future reviews to proceed in subsequent phases.
Other approved items included appropriating a tax‑certiorari settlement for Scott Michael Gilbert; approving an emergency application to apply pesticide to athletic fields to address weeds that attract geese (members asked that application be scheduled during break periods and asked staff to post notices and re-entry guidance); accepting gifts and donations including $5,309.40 from Glendale School PTA for arts and education, establishing the Claudia Montana Memorial Scholarship, and accepting a donated Monster brand 2.5‑octave marching bell set for the music program (a board member abstained from the Friends of Music item due to an officer role). The board also approved communications and staffing items, including the hire of Scott Marslaw in the physics program and some transportation-hour adjustments.
Votes at the meeting were recorded as voice votes ('Aye' or abstain) in the public record; the transcript does not list numerical tallies or a roll-call for those motions.
