Mahopac BOE monthly meeting, Feb 12 2026 (live stream)

The Mahopac Board of Education held its regular monthly meeting on February 12, 2026, focusing primarily on budget presentations and reviews for the 2026-2027 school year. Key procurement-related discussions included detailed budget presentations from the athletics, facilities, and technology departments. The athletics budget showed a 27% increase mainly due to coaching salaries and program expansions, including adding a JV flag football team. Facilities discussed several capital improvement projects such as chemical storage room renovations to meet state compliance, roof replacements, exterior door replacements, and abatement projects for classrooms. The technology department presented a budget decrease of $55,000 due to vendor consolidation and highlighted ongoing infrastructure upgrades like wireless network installation and security enhancements. Revenue sources were reviewed, including state aid increases and local tax levy projections, with the board preparing for the May 19th budget vote. The finance subcommittee reported on these budget details and enrollment projections, noting a slight expected enrollment decline. No contract awards or vendor names were specifically mentioned, but several capital improvement projects and technology upgrades were planned. Public comments raised concerns about board member conflicts of interest related to immigration enforcement roles, but these did not directly impact procurement discussions.
