The Board of Education Meeting of November 4, 2026

The Ossining Union Free School District Board of Education meeting on November 4, 2026, included review of the district’s FY2026 external audit and its 2026–27 special education action plan. The auditor, PKF O’Connor Davies, issued an unmodified opinion and reported no material control or compliance findings. In the general fund, revenues were $175.8 million against a $172 million budget, expenditures were $161.2 million against a $165.7 million budget, and year-end fund balance was $47.18 million. The district earmarked $2.7 million for grants at risk of federal cancellation or repayment, contributing to an unassigned balance of 5.91% compared with the state’s 4% limit; the district said it joined other districts in litigation. Long-term debt was reported at about $31 million in principal and $6.7 million in interest through 2042.

The board approved consent-agenda resolutions, including the appointment of additional consultants for 2026–27 and routine business-office reports, but the transcript identifies no specific contract awards, vendor selections, or bid approvals. District leaders noted that special education teacher-leader positions were a new budget item and presented goals for student outcomes, instructional collaboration, and assistive-technology access, without proposing new purchases. The meeting also included routine tenure and retirement actions and discussion of bond-related construction and recognition plaques, with no related spending decision identified.
