Board of Education Meeting (August 5, 2026)

The East Greenbush Central School District Board of Education held a meeting on August 5, 2026, where several procurement and policy matters were discussed. Key procurement-related topics included approval of a lease agreement with Quest Star 3 and a social media representation agreement. The board also reviewed a capital improvement project involving an upgrade to a transformer at Red Mill Elementary School to support new HVAC equipment, with funding expected to be reimbursed through state aid. Additionally, the board considered bids for elevator maintenance services for the 2026-2027 year, ultimately recommending Otis Elevator due to competitive pricing and service considerations. Policy discussions focused on updates to athletic eligibility and health examination procedures, including compliance with new state regulations removing the Tanner score requirement and implementing a physical fitness test for student athletes. The board also reviewed a proposed academic eligibility policy for student athletes to encourage academic progress while maintaining participation in sports. Motions to approve the lease and social media agreements, as well as the elevator maintenance contract, were passed. No specific dollar amounts were disclosed for the contracts or capital projects during the meeting.
