Board names officers, vendors and sets bonding and signatory limits in routine reorganization actions
Summary
During its reorganization meeting the board approved a slate of district officer appointments (clerk, treasurer, auditors), designated bank depositories and official newspapers, authorized signatories and petty-cash custodians, and set bonding minimums for key officers.
The board moved and approved appointments for district officers for the 2026–27 school year, including naming Tish Hauser as clerk (with Brian Bartlett as acting clerk), Timothy Lynch as district treasurer, Patricia Kibbe as deputy treasurer, and Lisa Howe as internal claims auditor.
The board also designated official bank depositories (including JPMorgan Chase), named Syracuse Post Standard and Eagle News Bulletin as official newspapers for district notices, and authorized signatures for payroll certification and grant approvals. At the reorganization session the board set bonding limits required by law for district officers: the district treasurer and deputy treasurer were set at $1,000,000, the internal claims auditor at $400,000, the central treasurer extra classroom limit at $100,000, and similar amounts for other required positions.
A motion to appoint committee members and service providers (school physicians, the school-attorney firm of Bond, Shenek, and King, and multiple insurance carriers) passed as part of the routine slate. The board also re-adopted existing policies and the records-retention schedule and set the FOIA duplicating fee at 25¢ per page.
These actions were taken as standard reorganization business and carried by motion; the transcript records board motions and confirmations but does not provide detailed roll-call tallies.
