The Albany City School District board approved its routine consent agenda with multiple items set aside for separate discussion. After deliberation, the board approved budget transfers over $10,000 (item 3) and the disposal of three outdated food-service box trucks (item 9). Several contracts were set aside for additional review and tabled pending clarifications about student-data access and Appendix C.

Board members praised improved budget-transfer reporting and asked for more detail on month-end "negative code" transfers; the business officer explained such transfers reallocate money (for example, salary adjustments when staffing moves between codes) and occur periodically as part of budget reconciliation.

On the truck disposal, business staff said the three box trucks had been used by food services, were beyond repair and had been replaced over the summer. The business office said the district owns roughly 15 20 vehicles that support operations including pickup trucks, vans and food-service trucks.

Several contracts were discussed in depth. Board members asked why Appendix C (which documents student-data access and privacy details) had not been completed for contracts that involve student-level data or participation in building leadership meetings. Contracts discussed included a Dr. Asseff agreement for student services, a GRS collaborator/PD consultant contract, KR Improvements analytics (data consultant) and the YMCA services contract. Some items proceeded after staff confirmed appropriate fingerprinting and OCFS requirements; others were tabled to verify the Appendix C and to consult with the districtphysician and data/privacy leads.

Board members also asked staff to clarify expected measurable results on professional-development contracts and to include concrete metrics when agreements relate directly to instructional improvement. The board returned several of the tabled items to future agendas after staff committed to provide the requested documentation.

Motions to adopt items 3 and 9 passed unanimously; set-aside and tabled items will return once the business and SPED offices provide the missing information.
