# Mount Vernon Board of Education Regular Business Meeting September 29 2026

The Mount Vernon City School District Board of Education’s regular business meeting on September 29, 2026, included a financial report, grant updates, committee reports, and board approvals. The assistant superintendent for business reported a 2026–27 general fund appropriation of $275.545 million, $25.7 million in expenditures to date, $195.7 million in purchase-order encumbrances, and $53.6 million in available appropriations. Of the encumbered spending, $172.2 million was attributed to recurring operating costs, including $15.1 million for transportation contracts. The board also heard that the district had secured Perkins, 9/11, school violence prevention, 21st Century partnership, and Teachers of Tomorrow grants; amounts were not provided. Separately, the Mount Vernon Education Foundation announced teacher mini-grants of $2,240, $7,160, and $10,140 for classroom projects.

The board approved consent-agenda items 5.2–6.12 and resolutions 7.1–7.22 in grouped votes, but the transcript does not specify their contents, so no particular procurement award or contract approval can be identified. It also approved an employment agreement for the executive director of special education. The Facilities, Health and Safety Committee noted that a deeper review of the district’s aging buildings and capital improvement needs is forthcoming; no project or spending authorization was presented. The board adopted its mission statement and board goals, and the meeting included discussion of school safety and student registration. No specific competitive solicitation, vendor selection, or capital project award was reported.
