Board approves 2026–27 goals, authorizes bus bond and clears routine contracts and resolutions
Summary
At its June 2 meeting, the Webster Central School District board approved 2026–27 board goals (adding a priority on mathematics), authorized borrowing to buy buses per the May 19 transportation proposition, and approved several routine contracts, a Thomas High School change order to expand UPK, tax‑related and BOCES resolutions, and policy revisions.
The Webster Central School District Board of Education approved its 2026–27 goals, authorized borrowing for buses approved by voters, and approved routine contracts and capital actions at its June 2 regular meeting.
Goals: Board members discussed refinements to the district’s goals for next year and voted to adopt them. The approved statement keeps academics as the top priority, adds a new emphasis on prioritizing mathematics instruction alongside literacy work, and tweaks wording in the district climate and culture goal from “promote” to “foster.” Administrators said goals will guide departmental and building plans and professional learning community work in the fall.
Bond for buses: Following community approval of the transportation proposition at the May 19 vote, the board adopted a bond resolution to borrow the funds needed to buy new buses in the fall. The resolution was approved by roll call vote; board members recorded affirmative votes.
Contracts and change order: Trustees approved the ISSA contract as presented. The board also approved a district‑initiated change order at Thomas High School to reconfigure space and expand Universal Prekindergarten (UPK) from one class to two, which requires rearranging the morning show/AV studio and remodeling a classroom; the work fits within the district’s construction contingency but requires board approval prior to NYSED submission for increases above $35,000.
Other motions: The board approved a town tax certiorari resolution for a Town of Penfield property (no refunds to the district), renewed participation in the BOCES Regional Information Center for vendor vetting and data privacy, approved second readings of policy revisions to 6180 and 6420, and accepted the March and April treasurer’s reports. The consent agenda was approved and the meeting adjourned.
A roll‑call vote was used for the bond resolution; other motions were approved by voice vote with “all in favor” recorded. Several items were handled as routine business with no extended discussion during the meeting.
