Board of Education: Webster Central Schools -- 10.13.2026

The Webster Central School District Board of Education meeting, titled October 13, 2026, covered student and school activities, district reports, instructional technology, and financial oversight. The board approved the 2025–2026 audit report and the related management letter and corrective action plan, which addressed improvements to financial processes and preparation for new federal overtime-reporting requirements. It also approved the first reading of proposed new Policy 7134 and revised Policy 5676, described as state-law updates and minor revisions, and approved resolutions for its representative to present at the state school boards association meeting. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or specific purchasing decisions were identified; the consent agenda was approved, but its contents were not detailed in the transcript.

The board received a presentation on the district’s AI toolkit, staff professional-responsibility guidance, AI literacy training, and plans to consider draft regulations, with an emphasis on critical thinking and instructional use. During public comment, families raised concerns about a combined elementary bus route, longer rides, student behavior and safety, and limited driver availability; they requested an administrative review and a designated bus, but no board action on the issue was recorded. The board also heard routine school and community updates.
