The Greenville Central School District board on May 13 approved a slate of routine motions including audit services, appointments, service contracts and transportation arrangements while discussing finance code transfers used to cover current-year shortfalls.
The board approved confirmation of services with Bernadio & Co., LLP (certified public accountants) and appointed Melanie Lascher as central treasurer for extracurricular accounts. The board approved a short-term contract with Devereaux Advanced Behavioral Health (04/23/2024–06/30/2024) and a parent transportation agreement to Devereaux in Red Hook for the same period. The board also approved a contract with Anderson Center for Autism for 07/01/2024–06/30/2025 and adopted a resolution authorizing cooperative education services.
Finance staff presented monthly reports for the period ending 04/30/2024 and explained line-item transfer work that consolidates small balances into spendable codes. Staff said some current-year equipment needs were met from existing funds so the district could remove a plow purchase from next year’s budget; the transfers were described as typical year-end housekeeping but tied to ongoing budget forecasting.
During the vote on the committee on special education agenda, one board member announced they would abstain for a personal connection; the item was otherwise approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: these motions implement services and contracts that affect student services and district operations, and the line-item transfers illustrate how districts manage within-year budget shortfalls without changing approved budget priorities.
Next steps: staff will finalize interfund transfers where required and continue monthly budget monitoring; the board will reconvene for the next business meeting on June 10.
