Board approves audits, intermunicipal agreements and reserve transfers
Summary
The board appointed an external auditor for a five‑year engagement, approved student health services and data security intermunicipal agreements, and authorized transfers from unappropriated fund balance to bus purchase and capital reserves.
The board voted to appoint Manuel Metzgerbar and Co., LLP for external audit services for five years covering fiscal years 2027–2031 following the district's RFP process and scoring.
Chair read and the board approved an agreement for student health services with East Rochester Union Free Schools "as presented," with a motion, second and voice vote recorded in the meeting minutes.
Members also approved an intermunicipal agreement to utilize a risk operations center for vendor and data security oversight and then approved transfers from the unappropriated fund balance: $91,250 to the bus purchase reserve and $273,750 to the capital reserve. The chair and administrators discussed reserve levels (last year the reserve was about $2,000,000) and noted prior appropriations reduced balances.
Why it matters: the auditor appointment sets the district's external financial oversight for several years; the intermunicipal agreement addresses data security and vendor management; reserve transfers commit fund balance to bus purchases and capital projects and were approved under superintendent authority. Board members asked questions about timing, contract details and the district's ability to compete on pay for positions discussed earlier in the meeting.
Administrators said contracts and audit reports will be provided as part of standard reporting; no major dissent was recorded at the meeting.
