Board moves funds to cover shared services and special education tuition
Summary
The board approved a series of inter-line budget transfers to cover Greenport shared staffing and special education tuition, reallocating seven line items including $45,000 for a shared Spanish teacher and more than $190,000 shifted into Greenport special education tuition lines.
The Oysterponds board considered and approved multiple inter-departmental budget transfers proposed by Superintendent Dr. Justin T. Cobis to cover staffing and tuition obligations for the upcoming school year. Transfer details included $45,000 from the BOCES transportation line to fund a Greenport-shared Spanish teacher and reallocations totaling $190,338 to cover Greenport special education tuition.
Other reassignments moved funds to teacher aide and teacher assistant salary lines and to a shared director of special education stipend. The board recorded approval of these budget transfers as part of the consent motions taken on Aug. 11; the minutes show the consent approvals passed 5–0. The transfers are intended to align district budgets with shared services and special-education placements for 2026–2027, and the business office will reflect changes in future financial reports.
