Summary

The board chair reviewed a broad consent agenda that included an insurance payment of $93,222.44 for water damage at South, a BOCES letter of intent not to exceed $21,000,000, and multiple contract renewals and program approvals; no formal vote was recorded in the transcript. The packet lists accounting, transportation and special-education contracts to be approved.

The board chair opened the meeting by running through a lengthy consent and business agenda, telling members the package includes financial reports, flow-through allocation agreements related to an IDA grant, and an insurance payment of $93,222.44 to the district budget for earlier water damage at South. "That was, as a result of the water damage at South earlier in the school year," the chair said.

The agenda also included a BOCES letter of intent not to exceed $21,000,000, the annual private-vehicle mileage rate set at the federal rate plus $0.06, summer youth program participation with the Town of Hempstead, a centralized textbook loan program, a bid award for a bus driver education program to Beach Meadow Driving School of Levittown, renewal of temporary personnel services with Kelly Services, and a transportation-contract extension list for the 2627 school year. An accounting-services contractor and speech-language pathology consultant were listed in the meeting packet but the transcript does not provide an unambiguous vendor name; those contract details are recorded in the packet for formal approval. The chair also noted a vendor name change for a pupil-transportation contractor and the planned disposal of obsolete file cabinets.
