Suffern CSD BOE Live 8-25-26 Meeting

The Suffern Central School District Board of Education held a regular meeting on August 25, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on a forthcoming capital improvement proposal. The superintendent provided an extensive overview of the district's capital project planning, emphasizing priorities such as safety and security upgrades, infrastructure replacements including boilers and HVAC systems, and renovations to athletic and performing arts facilities. The district has engaged a new construction management firm, Savin, through a competitive RFP process to assist with cost estimation and project timelines. The board is collaborating with architects from Mamasi and financial advisors to refine the project scope, assess state aid eligibility, and evaluate tax impacts. The capital proposal is planned for a board vote in October, with a potential bond referendum in early December. The meeting also included updates on career and technical education (CTEC) student achievements and routine board business, with no immediate contract awards or purchasing decisions made during this session.
