Westbury BOE Action Meeting September 29th 2026

The Westbury Union Free School District Board of Education held an action meeting on September 29, 2026. EFPR Group presented the district’s fiscal-year 2026 audit, reporting clean, unmodified opinions on the financial statements, federal compliance, and extra-classroom activity funds, with no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies identified. The audit covered approximately $7.6 million in federal funds, including more than $4 million for child nutrition programs. The auditor noted that unassigned fund balance was 4.36%, above the state’s 4% guideline, down from 5.33% the prior year; district management was developing a corrective action plan. The discussion referenced a district budget exceeding $180 million, but no budget allocation, contract award, or purchasing decision was made.

The board unanimously approved Gladys Medina’s tenure and approved the remaining block-vote agenda. Item 7A, the treasurer’s report, was withdrawn for administrative reasons and deferred to October. Four policy items were advanced for first reading and scheduled for consideration at the October meeting. Items 6E and 9D were tabled, then untabled and approved unanimously after executive session; their specific subjects are not clear from the transcript, though board members referred to supporting student experiences. No procurement activity was identified.
