Bedford Board approves consent agenda, service agreements and purchase orders

At its May 7, 2026 work session, the Bedford Board of Education approved the consent agenda and several treasurer‑recommended items, including audit and service agreements and purchase orders for special‑education services.

The consent agenda motion to approve the presented items passed on a roll‑call vote after a motion was made. The superintendent had outlined the superintendent's report items earlier, which included the tentative graduation lists for Bedford High and Excel students, previously approved curriculum purchases that came in under budget, a building/facility request for stadium use, renewal of a Frontline service agreement used for human resources, and acceptance of the resignation of Dr. Snyder, executive director of operations, effective July 6.

The treasurer presented four finance items (7.01–7.04): the annual audit engagement with Julian and Grube; renewal of the Frontline service agreement used by HR and the treasurer's office; a three‑year Medicaid audit agreement with Zepka (no change in price); and approval of purchase orders to cover added services for Monarch Center of Autism after a student was added to services. The board moved and seconded approval of items 7.01–7.04 and approved them by roll call.

Vote tallies recorded 'Yes' votes from Miss Boynton, Mister Morton, Mister Callender and others as indicated in roll call during the meeting; motions passed and were recorded as approved. The board also discussed a resolution to nonrenew some substitute teachers and Title I tutors pending grant awards; the superintendent said those staff would be rehired once grants are secured.

The board did not take additional formal actions on curriculum changes or scheduling during the meeting.

The meeting moved on to new business and procedural items after the votes.
