Huntington UFSD Board of Education Meeting 4/13/26

The Huntington Public Schools Board of Education held a meeting on April 13, 2026, which included discussions on budget approvals, facility use fee updates, and educational program developments. The board approved the February 2026 treasury report and warrants for payment. A significant procurement-related item was the approval of a new facility use fee schedule specifically for athletic field lighting, effective immediately, with a full facility use fee structure to be considered in a subsequent meeting. The fee updates reflect increased costs due to new facilities and equipment, including a new auditorium and stadium lighting. The board also reviewed the proposed 2026-2027 budget, which aligns with strategic plans and maintains key programs while being mindful of community tax impact. Additionally, the meeting covered educational initiatives related to New York State's Portrait of a Graduate and upcoming changes to graduation requirements. Donations to the music and art departments were acknowledged, but no new contracts or vendor selections were reported.
