Olean City School District accepts budget results, announces two elected board members and approves revised calendar
Summary
At a brief Olean City School District board meeting, the chair announced the budget passed (261 yes votes), said two candidates — Mary and Dr. C. Carlson — each received 279 votes, and the board approved a revised 2026 calendar with a half day for pre-K–7 on June 18.
The Olean City School District board accepted the results of the district budget vote and announced two newly elected board members during a short public meeting.
The board chair (not named in the meeting transcript) said there were "261 yeses on the budget" and moved to accept the election results; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The chair also announced that "Mary and doctor c Carlson received 279 votes each," naming the two individuals who will join the board for the coming year. The transcript does not include last names for "Mary"; the meeting record identifies Betty Mason as the person who moved to adjourn later in the session.
The board approved a revised district calendar for 2026 (the transcript read the year as "2526,") that adds a half day for pre-K through Grade 7 on Thursday, June 18. The chair presented the calendar revision, a member moved and the motion carried by voice vote.
The chair listed upcoming committee meetings: buildings and grounds on June 2 at 4:00 p.m. in the Board of Education conference room; curriculum and instruction on June 3 at 4:00 p.m. in the PLC Conference Room; and operations on June 8 at 4:30 p.m. The transcript also recorded a regular board meeting time read aloud as "June 90 at 6:30 p.m.;" that date was unclear in the record and could not be confirmed from the meeting text.
The chair asked whether an executive session was needed; no members requested one. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn, which the transcript records as "Betty Mason motion," followed by a second and a voice vote.
What happened next: the board set committee meeting dates and adjourned. The meeting record contains several transcription errors (for example, the calendar year read as "2526" and a regular meeting date read as "June 90"). The article reports numbers and names as they were read aloud in the meeting; where the transcript omitted a last name ("Mary"), the article notes that omission rather than supplying an unconfirmed identity.
