November 3, 2026 - Board of Education Mtg.

The Amherst Central School District Board of Education meeting on November 3, 2026, included a safety committee update, student and teacher recognitions, and a superintendent’s report on secondary curriculum. The safety committee reviewed capital-improvement updates, CPR/AED training, threat-assessment procedures, AED requirements, and proposed district safety-plan updates; no related contracts, bids, or spending decisions were described. The superintendent outlined the transition to New York State science standards and new cluster-based Regents assessments, work on student agency and belonging, and efforts to expand and coordinate career and technical education. The board also discussed recent Board of Regents decisions, including ending the requirement that students pass a Regents exam to pass a course and introducing a single diploma with multiple pathways; further implementation details and federal approval for an accountability change remain pending.

The board approved the consent agenda covering new business, personnel, and financial items by a motion that carried unanimously (recorded as 7–0), but the transcript provides no details of specific financial items, vendors, amounts, or contracts. No procurement activity was identified.
