The Laurens Central School Board approved multiple warrants and fiscal reports during its Sept. 17 meeting, covering general (A Fund) disbursements and payroll warrants.

Separately, the district's business office submitted a budget amendment request, effective June 30, 2025, to process a voter-approved $44,194 transfer from the 2023-24 budget into the Food Service (cafeteria) fund.
