Board approves contracts, budget transfers, reserve authorizations and stewardship agreement
Summary
The board approved an AIA document for playground capital work with Luis Barbato Landscaping, one-year vendor price extensions for 2026–27, budget transfers, stewardship of the Terryville Greenbelt Outdoor Learning Laboratory with the Town of Brookhaven, consultant agreements and license agreements for universal pre‑K programs.
District administration presented and the board approved a range of operational and financial items during the June 8 meeting.
Notable approvals included an AIA document between the district and Luis Barbato Landscaping for playground capital improvements and one-year extensions for several vendor contracts that held 2025–26 prices for the 2026–27 school year. The board approved budget transfers as recommended, accepted multiple donations to the district scholarship fund (Suffolk Asbo $500; Howard Hanna Coach Realtors $1,000; Unistat $250) and declared several items obsolete at JFK Middle School.
The board also approved stewardship terms for the Terryville Greenbelt Outdoor Learning Laboratory between the Town of Brookhaven and the district (an expiration date was included in the motion text as part of the stewardship language) and consultant contracts such as GB Language Consulting for the 2026–27 school year. License agreements for the 2026–27 universal pre-K program with Alternatives for Children and SCOPE Educational Services were approved as presented. In finance matters, the board read and reaffirmed authorization for several reserve accounts under general municipal and education law and stated funding maximums for the reserves to be finalized when the tax levy is set.
The board concluded the business portion of the meeting and proceeded to public comment, where unrelated personnel concerns were raised.
Ending: These approvals authorize staff to proceed with capital improvements, vendor management and stewardship arrangements for the coming fiscal year; exact contract amounts and final reserve funding will be finalized in subsequent administrative steps and budget settings.
