Pittsford Board of Education Meeting - October 13, 2026

Pittsford Central School District Board of Education meeting, October 13, 2026: The board received construction updates on the 2023 and 2026 capital improvement projects. The 2023 project has an authorized amount of $69,822,169, with $1,550,158 remaining in construction contingency as of September 2026. Phase 2 work is underway across district schools and facilities, with construction expected to continue through December 2027 and closeout in early 2028. The 2026 project, approved by voters in March, includes building infrastructure and air-conditioning/cooling upgrades across all nine school buildings. Phase 1 was submitted to the State Education Department; the district expects to bid it in early 2027, begin construction in spring or summer, and complete it by August 2028. Phase 2 design includes further infrastructure work and a playground project, with construction expected to extend into 2029. A resolution on capital-project change orders was presented and a motion was made, but the transcript does not capture the vote result. The board also approved the custodial maintenance and transportation contract; no new construction bid award or vendor selection was identified.

A childcare provider addressed the board about possible community-based organization participation in universal prekindergarten, describing concerns with RFP timing, enrollment and wraparound-care assumptions, and state payment risks. The speaker suggested surveying providers’ capacity; the board acknowledged the comments but made no commitment or procurement decision. The board approved a $4,000 donation from SEI Design Group through the consent agenda. Auditors reported an unqualified opinion with no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, while noting the district should monitor its long-range financial and reserve plans.
