# NFCSD Board of Education Meeting - 10/15/2026

The NFCSD Board of Education meeting on October 15, 2026, included a presentation on the district’s student media production program and updates on district communications. Procurement-related discussion focused on the superintendent’s recommended actions and short-term contracts, including scheduled providers for Saturday Academy, STEM, arts, and teacher-development programming. The Francis Center partnership was listed at no cost to the district, with the agreement covering insurance and minor facility-related expenses. Other items included a $66,000 Teacher Resource Center award for mentorship and professional development; a grant-funded esports course costing $10,000; and a proposed contract for a cybersecurity management system, accompanied by a policy-language amendment addressing risk management and staff use of software click-wrap agreements. The transcript also references consulting and curriculum-development services totaling $115,000, and an additional $10,500 for cultural-responsive teaching work; some details and funding descriptions are unclear in the transcript. A TRS reserve transfer of $843,000 was described as a district financial action, not a procurement award.

The board also discussed expanding a BOCES consortium arrangement and a Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center agreement for OT services, with a rate described as $31 but not clearly stated in the transcript. The superintendent said that short-term contracts were being presented together rather than monthly. The transcript does not capture a vote or final approval outcome on these items, so no procurement approvals are confirmed. Other discussion covered staffing, school programming, and upcoming district events.
