Kingston Board of Education approves settlements and nominates Suzanne Jordan to BOCES board

The Kingston City School District (KCSD) Board of Education made significant strides during their meeting on March 19, 2025, approving three key resolutions that will impact both district operations and community representation.

The board unanimously approved a settlement agreement with an unnamed employee, referred to as employee number 5358. This decision, made upon the recommendation of the superintendent, allows for the resolution of ongoing matters and authorizes the superintendent to sign the agreement, ensuring that it will be documented in the meeting minutes.

In a move to enhance local educational governance, the board nominated Suzanne Jordan for an at-large seat on the Ulster County BOCES board. This nomination is for a three-year term starting July 1, 2025, and reflects the board's commitment to fostering strong leadership within the educational community.

The meeting also celebrated student achievement, recognizing senior Jackson Cutrone for his accomplishments in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. Cutrone, who has excelled at various levels of competition, is also a candidate for the 2024 Boys State and holds multiple leadership roles within the school, including treasurer of his class and president of the debate team. His recognition highlights the district's focus on student engagement and excellence.

These actions taken by the KCSD Board of Education not only address immediate administrative needs but also reinforce the district's dedication to community involvement and student success. As the board continues to navigate these important decisions, the implications for both governance and student recognition are poised to foster a more engaged and supportive educational environment.
