Lewiston-Porter board approves policies, adopts LGS-1 retention schedule and accepts external audit
Summary
At its Oct. 24 meeting the Lewiston-Porter Central School District board approved multiple policies, adopted New York’s LGS-1 records retention schedule, accepted an external audit from Lumsden & McCormick LLP and approved personnel and special-education recommendations.
The Lewiston-Porter Central School District Board of Education voted Oct. 24 to approve a set of policy updates, adopt the New York Local Government Records Retention and Disposition Schedule (LGS-1), accept the district’s external audit and carry a package of personnel and special-education recommendations.
At the meeting President Danielle Mullen moved the board to "RESOLVED, that the Lewiston-Porter Board of Education accept the Agenda for October 24, 2022." That motion, and subsequent motions on minutes and consent items, passed at the start of the meeting. Later business included formal votes on policy and records-retention matters. The board voted 5-0 to adopt the LGS-1 schedule, citing Article 57-A of the Arts and Cultural Affairs Law as the statutory basis for minimum retention periods and disposal criteria.
The board also accepted the external audit submitted by Lumsden & McCormick, LLP and approved a corrective action plan as recommended by the Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services. "RESOLVED, that the Lewiston-Porter Board of Education approve the Acceptance of the External Audit by Lumsden & McCormick, LLP as submitted by the Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services," the motion states. Both motions carried 5-0.
Other routine actions included approval of minutes from Sept. 29 and Oct. 3, 2022, and passage of the financial consent agenda covering budget status reports, treasurer’s report, claims and transfers. The board recorded no public comments during the meeting.
Next procedural steps: the board’s approved corrective action plan will be implemented under the direction of the Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services; the record-retention policy (LGS-1) is now in effect for Lewiston-Porter offices per the motion passed at the meeting.
