Board reviews budget amendment, approves 27L spending and donor agreements
Summary
The board reviewed FY 2025–26 Budget Amendment 1 and a Q2 finance update; it approved 27L spending and two donations/lease agreements and received a first reading on an asbestos-abatement bid.
The Oxford Community Schools Board of Education reviewed fiscal items during its Feb. 10, 2026 meeting, including FY 2025–26 Budget Amendment 1 and a Q2 finance update presented by Director of Finance Ms. Courtney Makowski.
Makowski described adjustments in the amended budget related to updated full-time-equivalent (FTE) staffing counts, per-pupil funding changes and a noted turf donation; the minutes do not record specific dollar amounts. The board received the Q2 finance update covering ongoing initiatives.
On motions later in the finance section, the board approved 27L spending as presented (motion by Vice President Whitney, supported by A. Acheson; vote recorded 6–0). The board also approved an anonymous donor lease agreement relating to a weight-room facility (moved by Vice President Whitney, seconded by Secretary James Sommers; vote 6–0) and approved a Wildcat Windscreen donation (moved by Vice President Whitney, seconded by James Sommers; vote 6–0). An asbestos-abatement bid was presented for first reading by John Fitzgerald; the minutes record that it was a first reading and do not show final action.
The minutes do not include line-item dollar amounts for the budget amendment, 27L spending, the lease agreement or the windscreen donation. The board’s approvals were unanimous where votes were recorded (6–0). The board later entered closed session and adjourned at 9:43 p.m.
Next steps: The asbestos-abatement bid and any contract documents would appear on a future agenda for formal action; the minutes do not specify timelines or funding sources for approved donations or the 27L spending.
