Summary

Mr. Alfano reported a year-end surplus for 06/30/2026, said auditors will begin work, described facilities renovations at multiple elementary schools and the high school, and noted the district is applying to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to pilot an after-school supper program.

He described an engagement with business analysts to identify efficiencies for fiscal year 2026'27 and said the district is beginning an application process with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to explore an after-school supper program.

"We are closing our our year, quantify our surplus for the ending 06/30/26. Auditors will be in in a couple of weeks to do their first blush of the audit," Mr. Alfano said (voice S1). He reviewed major summer facilities projects covered in the agenda (resolutions 65'69), including multi-floor renovations at schools 3, 4 and 5, external site work at School 3, masonry, sidewalk and stair work at the high school, and additional bathroom renovations.

Board members thanked the buildings and grounds committee and noted that, as with any major project, unknown factors may arise once work progresses.
