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

The Mount Vernon City School District Board of Education held its regular business meeting on September 29, 2026. The business report noted an August ending operating cash balance of $69.27 million and described purchase-order encumbrances of $172.2 million, largely tied to recurring obligations, including $48.3 million in employee benefits, $43.8 million in instructional salaries, $26.8 million in special education services and salaries, and $15.1 million in transportation contracts. The district reported that its cash position supported proceeding without a tax anticipation note, while officials said they would monitor spending and may limit purchase orders if available funds decline. No specific vendor selection or contract award was detailed. The Mount Vernon Education Foundation also presented three teacher mini-grants of $2,240, $7,160, and $10,140 for classroom projects; the superintendent separately reported securing several district grants, including Perkins, school violence prevention, and 21st Century partnership funding.

The board approved consent agenda items 5.2–6.12, resolutions 7.1–7.13 and 7.14–7.22, and an employment agreement with Glenda Sanchez as executive director of special education; the transcript does not provide further spending details for those agenda items. The board also adopted its mission statement and board goals, with amendments. Discussion covered the district’s technology plan and registration delays, but no related procurement action was identified.
