The BIG NEWS on the BOE agenda for 4/16/26 is the resignation of Paul Kobliska, effective June 30, 2026. This marks the 6th significant departure from a Principal over the last 5 years (Geiger – CMS, Gasparini – WW, Corley – MKM, Nardi – TPH, Nixon – GLHS, Bartlett – GLHS).
X. FINANCE
The Board will be authorizing the sale of the $50,532,000 School Bond with maturities beginning on 2028 and ending in 2046. Interest on this bond will occur semi-annually.
The preliminary budget is being presented with revisions, although those revisions are not blatantly clear on the agenda. Also included is a withdrawal from the Maintenance Reserve for $450,000 to maintain school facilities as reflected in the Comprehensive Maintenance Plan.
The budget also includes Travel and Related Expense Reimbursements with a maximum threshhold of $43,750.000 for 2026-27.
Three separate home instruction resolutions are on the agenda with an hourly rate range between $64.90-69, including a 33% administrative fee with a cap of $3,974.
The BH PAL has donated funds for a new scoreboard for the Gold Gym at CMS.
XI. PERSONNEL
The Board will approve the resignation of CMS Principal, Paul Kobliska in addition to long-time rock-star teacher, Donna Bokach. We wish Mr. K the best in his future endeavors and a happy retirement to Ms. Bokach!
XIII. POLICY
The only revision for Instructional Supplies (2520) is replacing the word “moneys” with “funds.”
Policy 7230 Gifts, Grands and Donations has added language which reflects that the District may refuse a gift if by doing so they “will incur any liability by its use.”
