# Board of Education Meeting (October 28, 2026)

The East Greenbush Central School District Board of Education met on October 28, 2026. The board approved emergency repairs at Goff Middle School and Green Meadow and the appropriation of related insurance-recovery funds; no dollar amount was stated. Members also discussed reducing the cost of Goff’s eighth-grade Washington, D.C. trip by about $10,100 through a transfer from the middle school’s transportation field-trip allocation. The board asked administrators to prepare a resolution for its next meeting, so the transfer was not approved that evening. The board approved an MOU for the New York State Mentoring Program and the consent agenda, which included accepting donations and authorizing a corresponding budget increase. No competitive bid, new contract award, or vendor selection was reported.

The Education Foundation and district discussed a new federal tax-credit program for scholarship-granting organizations. Foundation representatives raised concerns about compliance, data security, and potential independent-audit costs of $10,000–$20,000 annually; the board made no decision and said it would continue to assess the rules and possible support arrangements. The superintendent also presented a draft budget calendar and proposed that administrators and, potentially in phases, school principals present budget proposals directly to the board; the calendar is to return for adoption. The communications report noted the district’s existing two-day-per-week communications service through Questar III BOCES, with no new procurement action proposed.
