Board approves package of financial and audit policies; sends public‑forum wording to counsel
Summary
The Board approved second readings and adopted a suite of financial and audit policies and agreed to have legal counsel review suggested public‑forum guideline language before the June meeting.
The Barker Central School District Board approved a group of financial and audit policies at its May 12 meeting, following second readings. The listed policies included 5512 (Reserve Funds), 5520 (Extraclassroom Activity Fund), 5530 (Petty Cash Funds and Cash in School Buildings), 5540 (Publication of District's Annual Financial Statement), 5550 (Maintenance of Fiscal Effort), and additional policies through 5573 addressing financial accountability and audit functions.

The Board also reviewed suggested language for public forum guidelines. Mr. Atwater read the public forum expectations to attendees and the Board agreed to provide sign‑in notices and to have district legal counsel review proposed edits before presenting a final draft at the June meeting. "The Board does not intend for the public meeting to be a dialogue," Mr. Atwater said during the opening remarks.
