Odessa-Montour Board Delegates Routine Fiscal and Operational Authorities to Superintendent
Summary
The board authorized Superintendent James Nolan and designated staff to perform routine fiscal functions — including budget transfers under $25,000, signing checks, certifying payrolls, contracting, investing idle funds, and set mileage at 72.5 cents per mile.
At the July 9 organizational meeting, the Odessa-Montour board voted to delegate a series of routine fiscal and operational authorities to the superintendent and specified district officers. The motions (approved 5–0) authorized the chief school officer to approve budget transfers below $25,000, to act as purchasing agent for 2026–2027, to execute contracts on behalf of the district (including BOCES contracts), and to certify or, in his absence, authorize the School Business Official to certify payrolls.
The board also set petty cash amounts ($100 for district office and $100 for the cafeteria), designated authorized check signatories (Jason Batrowny or Jennifer Morris), and established a mileage reimbursement rate at the Internal Revenue Service rate of 72.5 cents per mile. The actions are consistent with routine annual delegations of administrative authority and were approved unanimously.
