Summary
The Wallkill Valley board approved a manifest of bills totaling $1,868,540.58, budget transfers of $89,378.52, a multi-year software contract with PowerSchool Group totaling $24,421.92, and several joint transportation contracts (selected line items summarized) at the Jan. 6 meeting.
At its Jan. 6 regular meeting the Wallkill Valley Regional High School Board approved routine but sizable finance items: a manifest of bills for Nov. 15–Dec. 19, 2025 totaling $1,868,540.58 and budget transfers totaling $89,378.52.
The Finance committee presented several procurement and contract items. The board approved a contract with PowerSchool Group, LLC for administrative software running Jan. 15, 2026–Dec. 31, 2028 with a total projected cost of $24,421.92 ($12,926.25 in 2026; $5,580.42 in 2027; $5,915.25 in 2028).
The board also approved a number of joint transportation contracts for the 2025–26 school year with High Point Regional High School and other host districts; line-item joiner costs and per‑diem rates were recorded on the agenda and in the minutes (selected totals appear on the transportation schedule). Certain joint-transportation entries shown on the agenda total $229,130.26 across multiple host/route entries.
Other finance actions approved included renewing a fuel purchase contract with the Township of Hardyston for Jan. 1, 2026–Dec. 31, 2027, and accepting the Cafeteria Account reconciliation for November 2025. The board voted to accept Board Secretary and Treasurer reports certifying that no major accounts were over-expended and reported a cash balance of $2,398,981.20 as of Nov. 30, 2025.
Why it matters: these approvals authorize spending and contractual relationships essential to daily operations, transportation, and student services. The manifest and vendor contracts affect the district’s cash flow and multi-year budgeting.
Next steps: the regular register for the manifest will remain on file with the Business Administrator/Board Secretary; any future amendments or renewals will be brought to the board for approval.
