Board approves March financials, temporary appropriations and robotics trip; personnel recommendations pass after executive session

At the April 21 meeting the board approved the March financial report after a motion and second. Finance presenter David reviewed revenues and expenses across the general fund, building fund and child nutrition, noted cash balances and listed major purchase orders and contracts (including federally funded Chromebooks and PowerSchool CT-prep software). The board approved the financial report by voice vote.

The board also approved standing resolutions and temporary appropriations needed before the fiscal year begins July 1. The finance presenter proposed conservative temporary appropriations: general fund $48,000,000, building fund $2,000,000 and child nutrition $3,500,000; the board proceeded without amendment.

A travel request for the high school robotics team to attend an event in Lexington, Kentucky (May 27—30/31) with five students and three employees was presented and approved by voice vote.

Following the executive session, the board approved personnel recommendations a through j for the 2025—26 school year by voice vote.
