LIVERPOOL, NY – The Liverpool Central School District Board of Education convened Monday night for a session that stretched past 10:30 p.m., addressing disciplinary actions, construction bids, and district finances. The most significant action of the evening occurred behind closed doors. The board met in executive session to hear a disciplinary appeal regarding a long-term student suspension. Upon returning to open session, the board voted unanimously to uphold the Superintendent’s decision. The motion, made by Board Member Daniel McKeever and seconded by Stacey Chilbert, directs the administration to inform the family of the final decision. **Capital Project Moves Forward** On the facilities front, the board gave the green light to the next phase of the district’s ongoing improvement work. By a unanimous vote, the board approved the bid awards for "Phase C" of the 2022 Capital Improvement Project. This approval allows the district to contract with construction firms to continue specific upgrades outlined in the project plan. Looking ahead, the board also approved a State Environmental Quality Review (SEQRA) resolution for the 2026-2027 Capital Outlay Project. The "Type II" determination indicates that the proposed work will not result in a significant environmental impact, streamlining the approval process for future maintenance and upgrades. **Vendor Agreement Denied** In a split vote, the board rejected a proposal to approve an apparel agreement with Ohiopyle Prints Inc. The motion, brought by Daniel McKeever, failed with a vote of 5 to 2. While McKeever and Matthew Jones voted in favor of the agreement, the majority of the board—including President Nicholas Blaney and members Stacey Chilbert, Kimberly Melnik, Jecenia Bresett, and Alexandra Gyder—voted against the measure. **Financial and Administrative Updates** The board took several steps to ensure fiscal responsibility and regulatory compliance. They approved an agreement with the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) for consultant services. Superintendent Richard Chapman and the district will utilize these specialists to navigate complex state aid formulas, potentially securing more funding for Liverpool students. Additionally, the board approved participation in a cooperative purchasing program through Oswego County BOCES. This agreement will streamline the procurement of water testing and sampling services, ensuring the district meets health and safety regulations efficiently. **Public Voices Concerns** During the public communications portion of the meeting, residents addressed the board on two distinct issues. Michele Sargalski spoke regarding the district’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), a framework used to provide academic and behavioral support to students. Brian Christopher also addressed the board concerning ULFA and other union matters, signaling ongoing labor discussions within the district. **Meeting Calendar** The next scheduled meetings for the Liverpool Board of Education are set for Monday, April 6, and Monday, April 20, both at 6:00 p.m. in the District Office. With the budget season looming, the April 6 meeting is expected to include further discussions on the 2026-2027 draft budget. The meeting adjourned at 10:35 p.m.
