WELLS—When the Wells Central School Board of Education met on June 17, Superintendent Thomas D. Sincavage reported he was selected to be a member of the NYSED Task Force which is discussing the reopening of schools with the new regulations and guidelines in place.
Sincavage went on to say work continues on the Capital Project and it is roughly 80% complete. The third phase of asbestos abatement was approved. Mr. Sincavage went over the contingency budget balance. The Board discussed different options for use of any potential remaining funds.
Sincavage reviewed the enrollment report which remains at 145. He did note that we have a class of 20 graduating seniors and are projecting to add seven students in the fall. Sincavage reviewed the Fund Balance Report. The district remains in a healthy financial position and with the current Capital reserve fund the district plans to pay off the current Capital project in full.
The last item is the NYSED Regional Task Force. Sincavage was selected to be a member of the task force which is discussing the reopening of schools with the new regulations and guidelines in place.
Jeremy J. Siddon, Building Principal, gave the Athletic Director’s Report. The athletic awards were hosted virtually this year. Fall sports sign ups are currently being done online.
