Board of Education: Penfield Central Schools -- 11.03.2026

The Penfield Central School District Board of Education meeting, held November 3, 2026 (as identified by the meeting title and agenda), included several spending and facilities actions. The board approved Phase 3 change orders for the 2021 capital project and a contract with Hillside; the transcript does not provide the change-order amounts, contract value, or further details about the Hillside contract. It also approved a one-year renewal of the agreement with the Town of Penfield to use district property on Gloria Drive as a temporary brush drop-off site, and approved the 2027–28 budget development calendar. The calendar schedules budget reviews through the proposed budget’s adoption in April and a public budget hearing in May.

The board discussed, but did not approve, joining Monroe County’s Bus Patrol school-bus stop-arm camera program. The provider would install and maintain equipment at no cost to the district, and ticket revenue would go to the county; staff said a board resolution would be needed to proceed. The meeting also reviewed a proposed increase in the district’s asset capitalization threshold from $5,000 to $10,000 to align with federal guidelines, with little practical effect anticipated. Other discussion covered a draft policy on student e-bikes and electric scooters, school and student updates, and board members’ conference reports.
