Leroy-Ostrander School Board Approves Fundraisers and Receives Significant Community Donations
- Meeting Overview:
At the recent Leroy-Ostrander School Board meeting, the board approved fundraisers and acknowledged substantial donations from community organizations. The board accepted a $500 donation from the Leroy Community Foundation to the National Honor Society and a $1,000 donation from the Ostrander Lions Club for the L Snack Cart. Additionally, fundraisers for a Washington DC trip and a local pool event featuring Hegy’s pizza sales were sanctioned.
The board’s approval of these fundraisers allows the school to plan a Washington DC trip for the 2025-26 school year and to engage with the community during the Libra Summerfest through the pool fundraiser. The community’s contribution to the school is highlighted by the National Honor Society’s support from the Leroy Community Foundation and the Ostrander Lions Club’s donation to the L Snack Cart, which will help provide snacks for students.
In administrative matters, the board set the monetary threshold for the superintendent at $20,000, the amount she can spend in emergencies without prior board approval. This threshold, unchanged for the past four years, was deemed sufficient as no emergencies have necessitated its use.
The board also conducted second readings and approved various handbooks for students, activities, faculty, paraprofessionals, emergencies, and pool employees for the 2025-26 school year, with no changes from previous drafts. Routine updates to building and grounds were discussed, noting planned carpet replacements in several areas and the recent approval of the Long-Term Facility Maintenance (LTFM) plan.
