Board of Education Meeting - May 6, 2026

The Troy City School District Board of Education held a meeting on May 6, 2026, focusing primarily on the district's budget and upcoming annexation of the Wenkill Union Free School District. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a new five-year contract with Student Transportation of America (STA) following an RFP process, which will provide new air-conditioned buses. The board also discussed the establishment of a capital reserve fund to finance up to $6 million in future capital projects over 10 years, leveraging a 98% state aid ratio to minimize taxpayer impact. The budget maintains all current educational programs and services with a 0% tax levy increase, reflecting fiscal responsibility. Additionally, the board addressed the operational and staffing plans related to the annexation effective July 1, 2027, and outlined plans for phased integration and potential future staffing needs. Several motions related to budget approval, staff matters, and program consent items were passed during the meeting.
