The biggest story was the re-vote. Voters rejected the district's original budget by a narrow margin. If the June 16 revote also fails, the district goes to a contingency budget, which means a 0% tax-levy increase and roughly $843,000 in additional cuts on top of the $173,000 already trimmed. Administrators have said those cuts would fall on positions they planned to add, not fill. None of that was discussed on June 15. The board simply appointed the people who would run the vote and noted one location change.

Nobody spoke. When the president opened public comment on agenda items, there was nothing. Same at the end, on non-agenda items. The meeting went straight to executive session. Two weeks earlier, the June 2 meeting drew a string of residents hammering the district over administrative costs, academic performance, and transparency. The night before the revote itself, the public chairs were quiet.

The top 10 got their moment and the valedictorian got an early diploma. Valedictorian Elijah Pomales finished with a 101.88 GPA and leaves for the Air Force Academy next week, so the district had already walked him through the buildings, recorded his graduation speech, and handed him his diploma earlier that day. Salutatorian Samuel Colmey (101.56) and the rest of the top 10 were each commended by resolution. Every GPA in the group topped 98.8.

Two student board members finished their term. Ariel and Joanna, the board's student representatives for the 2025–26 year, sat for their last meeting and were given certificates of commendation. One offered a candid thank you, admitting she was afraid the board would be "very mean," found the opposite, and said she hoped to run for a seat herself someday.

The consent agenda is where the staffing and the dollars actually moved. This included more than a dozen new instructional hires for next year with starting salaries running from about $54,889 to $78,840, plus a district-wide instructional coach. A cluster of teacher aides was promoted into teacher-assistant roles, and the full fall 2026 coaching roster was approved. The same vote signed off on summer school staff, after-school Regents review tutors at $40 an hour, special education placements for the year, and about $1.3 million in year-end fund transfers.

Routine contracts, a small windfall, and a co-op. The board approved 2026–27 maintenance contracts. It accepted $41,527.95 from NBT Wealth Management, the remainder of a student scholarship fund that had dropped below the bank's $100,000 custodial minimum. A board member asked whether the money would be kept separate, and the district's business official confirmed it goes into a tracked custodial account and could last years. The board also joined a Madison-Oneida BOCES cooperative-bidding agreement for supplies and lunch commodities. The district is also finishing the job of moving its financial records from paper to digital.

Union agreements and a 41-year goodbye. The board ratified two memorandums of agreement (one with Local 200 USEIU over sick-day accrual, one with CSEA Local 1000 over retroactive pay) and retitled the "Coordinator of In-District Centralized Tutoring Program" to "Coordinator of District Support Programs." It also accepted the retirement of custodian Frank Stosal, who was hired in April 1985, which is roughly 41 years with the district.
