Board of Education: Webster Central Schools -- 09.08.2026

The Webster Central Schools Board of Education meeting held on September 8, 2026, focused primarily on school community updates, student recognitions, and educational initiatives. Key procurement-related discussions included a significant change order approval related to the construction and expansion of the Owl Middle School parking lot.

The meeting also highlighted ongoing capital improvement projects, including the recent opening of the new permanent Owl Middle School facility, and acknowledged the efforts of construction and facilities teams during summer projects. Additionally, the board reviewed financial reports noting increased construction-related expenditures and discussed professional development initiatives for staff. The change order motion was approved unanimously, reflecting the board's oversight of budget adjustments tied to capital infrastructure projects.
