Board Committees

The Board Policy Committee has met regularly with Administrators pursuant to a project initiated three years ago with the New York State School Board Association to review and update the District’s policies. The Committee continues to meet occasionally to consider new policies and updates and provide recommendations to the Board.

Chair: Brendan Carty
 
Members: Jim Creagan, Kathleen Hand and Lofton Riser 

The Facilities Committee meets regularly with Administrators (Buildings and Grounds, Business, Superintendent) to assess the needs of the district in relation to our building classrooms, education space needs and athletic complex, and how we can best meet the present and future needs of our district and outside group usage.

Chair: Jim Creagan

Members: Kate Carey, Brendan Carty and Kathleen Hand

The Committee will function to develop an understanding of the District's budget process and the annual budget proposal in order that it may assist in educating and communicating to the school district community members factual information regarding the proposed budget. The committee shall collaborate, communicate and cooperate with entities within the Cornwall Central School District so that events are publicized, and resources (both living and inanimate) are best used, thereby strengthening the entire community for everyone’s benefit.

Chair: Brendan Carty

Members: Jamie Fox, Margaret Quinn and Lofton Riser

The Audit Committee will meet to review all audits and practices related to the fiscal operations of the District in accordance with Board policies and present their findings and any recommendations to the entire Board of Education.
