# BOE Meeting 10-06-2026

The West Babylon School District Board of Education meeting on October 6, 2026, included the external auditor’s presentation of the district’s June 30, 2026 financial statements. The auditor issued an unmodified opinion and reported a $37,000 general-fund surplus, $16.7 million in reserves, and a one-time $1.2 million solar rebate. Capital-project expenditures were about $3 million, primarily for the energy performance contract, and the district’s debt refunding generated approximately $496,000 in savings. The auditor also noted control and compliance issues, including a $150 payroll overpayment and findings related to student activity funds. No contract award, bid approval, or vendor selection was identified.

The board discussed reserve use, budget contingency, and the need to monitor recurring surpluses and expenditures. It approved the consent agenda, with one member opposed to an item, and agreed to oppose a resolution concerning athletics funding. Other discussion focused on student Chromebook use and bathroom access; the district said it would review survey feedback and follow up with families. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for administrative and student matters.
