Board approves consent items and will consider a Section One athletics constitution amendment

The New Castle Board of Education approved routine consent agenda items at its June 3 meeting, and members reviewed a proposed athletic‑policy resolution for an upcoming sectional vote.

Multiple motions to approve minutes, personnel actions and budget transfers were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting. A board member moved to approve items 5.1 through 5.33 and the motion was seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.

Matthew outlined a proposed change to the Section One constitution that district leadership plans to vote on in favor of. He said the amendments would revise eligibility language so that non‑public schools meeting specified membership requirements would not be eligible for Section One postseason competitions, while also allowing non‑public schools to participate in postseason tournaments involving only non‑public members.

The board discussed audit committee timing and athletic trip invoice adjustments for increased postseason travel; Josh explained end‑of‑year budget transfers, purchase‑order increases and the rationale for reclassifying expenses such as snow removal and additional busing for playoff trips.

No public comments were offered during the open comment period. The meeting adjourned at 9:04 p.m.
