Board of Education Meeting August 24th, 2026

The Valley Central School District Board of Education held a regular meeting on August 24, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a new elementary school teacher position, which was already budgeted, and the approval of several curriculum items and intermunicipal agreements, including a transportation agreement with Cornwall School District. The board also approved the 2026-27 district goals and adopted updated policies reflecting recent state regulatory changes. A motion was passed to request administration to compile a comprehensive list of consultants engaged by the district, including payment details and reporting structure, to provide transparency on consultant expenditures. No new contracts or capital projects were directly approved during this meeting, but a prior capital project of approximately $118 million was referenced. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for negotiation discussions.
