Board of Education Meeting (September 30, 2026)

The East Greenbush Central School District Board of Education met on September 30, 2026. The board reviewed progress on the 2024 capital referendum project, with construction updates at Goff Middle School and Red Mill, including completed athletic facilities, an elevator, a playground, and ongoing building and site work. The project’s original budget is $116 million; just under $41 million had been spent or committed as of August 31. Officials reported that contingency balances were healthy, while several potential change orders remain under review. No new large construction contracts are expected to be bid or awarded until Phase 3 bidding in January. The presentation noted that construction-cost escalation, maximum-cost allowances, and remaining work across later phases require continued budget management; Labella and Turner are supporting the project.

The board approved resolutions to appropriate funds from the retirement contribution, employee benefits and accrued liabilities, and bus purchase reserve funds; the transcript did not state the amounts. It also discussed long-range financial planning, including capital planning and the possibility of external support, and reviewed proposed instructional priorities and curriculum plans. No additional procurement awards or vendor selections were identified.
