CSD - Finance Committee Meeting - October 15, 2026

The Centennial School District Finance Committee met October 15, 2026, to review financial updates and items for the next board meeting. The committee voted to forward three items for board consideration, including an agreement with Bucks County Intermediate Unit No. 22 to coordinate required homestead-exclusion notices in December 2026, at a stated cost not to exceed $12.80 per parcel for approximately 3,459 parcels. The other items concerned a negotiated property-assessment appeal and a business-privilege-tax matter; the transcript does not clearly establish the details or costs of the latter item. No final contract award or spending approval by the board occurred at this meeting.

The business administrator reported that the district had applied for a $328,456 PCCD mental-health and safety grant and had received $300,000 for the planetarium and $100,000 for high-school athletics. He also said the district would separate its food-service federal single audit from the financial audit and continue work needed to issue RFPs. For future external-funding requests, staff will identify one-time and recurring costs to support five-year forecasting. A suggestion to install solar canopies over parking lots was discussed, but no procurement decision was made; prior pricing had not been favorable.
