Wallkill Valley board OKs $73,801 auditorium projector and $57,070 in scoreboards, approves budget transfers
Summary
The Wallkill Valley Regional High School Board approved contracts for a $73,801 projector and screen and $57,070 for two scoreboards, and ratified budget transfers totaling $444,784.47 for late June and early July 2025; all motions passed by roll call.
The Wallkill Valley Regional High School Board of Education voted July 22 to authorize a $73,801.39 contract with Howard Technology Solutions for an auditorium projector and screen and a $57,070 contract with KC Sign and Awnings for two scoreboards.
The approvals were part of a broader finance package that included two sets of budget transfers — $353,055.57 for June 20–30, 2025 and $91,728.90 for July 1–17, 2025 — and the board-approved manifests of bills: $293,417.37 for June 20–30 and $386,018.13 for July 1–17. Motions to approve these transfers and the manifest carried in roll call votes; many finance motions were recorded as unanimous.
Board President Jacqueline Elmo called the business session to order; the Finance Committee recommendation to approve items 1–8 (which bundled the equipment contracts with other finance items) was moved and carried in a unanimous roll call vote (mover: Ralph Bonard; seconder: Robert Carlson).
Superintendent David Carr had earlier identified the auditorium projection equipment as part of a referendum-related facilities plan; the contracts will be executed through the School Business Administrator/Board Secretary’s office, where the district maintains the full register of payments.
The board did not provide additional line-item detail about which operating or capital accounts will be charged for the projector or scoreboards during the July 22 meeting; the Business Administrator’s office holds the manifest and transfer records on file.
The meeting minutes indicate the votes were approved by roll call; where the minutes list a motion as a unanimous roll call vote, no dissenting votes are recorded.
The board also noted public comments from a resident asking about scoreboards and staffing, which the superintendent addressed during the meeting’s public-comment period.
Next procedural steps: contracts will be administered by the Business Administrator; specific installation schedules and budget-line allocations were not specified at the meeting.
