BOE Finance Committee Meeting - June 11, 2026

The Darien Public Schools Board of Education Finance Committee met on June 11, 2026, to review the financial report through May. The report showed a positive balance of $231,739, an increase of over $55,000 from the prior month, with notable adjustments including $38,849 in special education settlements and salary savings from staffing changes. The committee discussed the status of approximately 450 open purchase orders, many related to excess cost revenue, and the process of closing out purchase orders as the fiscal year end approaches. There was also mention of potential year-end budget surpluses and the possibility of purchasing new materials in the next fiscal year, particularly related to changes in technology policy, though no immediate expenditures were planned. The committee reviewed the timeline for closing the fiscal year, including processing invoices and teacher summer pay disbursements. No new contracts or procurement actions were approved during the meeting, but the discussion highlighted ongoing budget management and purchasing processes relevant to procurement planning.
