On the district’s cash-management plan, the board authorized the issuance of tax anticipation notes not to exceed $40,000,000 “in anticipation of the receipt of taxes” for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. District officials explained the notes fund operations from July through December because the district’s primary operating revenue—property taxes—arrives in January and June and some state aid timing delays require borrowing to cover payroll and other early-year expenses. The motion passed after the usual motion/second and “Aye” vote.

The board also approved a one-year extension of the refuse removal contract with MAGIO Environmental Services for the 2025–26 school year at a stated 1.9% price increase, and the BOCES shared services contract anticipated for 2025–26. The board accepted and placed on file the AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) triennial reinspection summary reports produced by JC Broderick and Associates. Each of these motions passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

A series of personnel motions carried by voice vote: professional and civil-service resignations and retirements were accepted; professional staff appointments and tenure recommendations were approved; substitute and summer appointments were authorized; and several coaches and civil-service summer hires were approved as listed in the board packet. The board also approved individualized home-instruction plans and Committee on Special Education and CPSE actions as enumerated on the agenda.

In governance items, the board approved the appointment of the district’s first student ex officio board member for 2025–26, David Burdi, to be sworn in at the July 1 reorganizational meeting; the board had earlier introduced Burdi in recognition. The board also acknowledged multiple building principal retirements and welcomed five incoming principals whose selections were discussed earlier in the evening.

On legal matters, the board voted to defend and indemnify listed employees and appointed Louis R. Silverman of Silverman & Associates to represent the district employees named in the motion. The meeting record shows routine motion/second and voice votes for these agenda items; the transcript records “Aye” and “So carried” responses rather than roll-call tallies.

Board members framed the TANs and contract renewals as standard annual business driven by local tax-collection timing and operational needs. A board member clarified that the need to issue tax anticipation notes is common on Long Island due to county tax schedules and that districts in some upstate counties have different tax-collection calendars.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Work/Public Session - May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Bay Shore Union Free School District Board of Education authorized up to $40 million in tax anticipation notes, extended the refuse removal contract with MAGIO Environmental Services and approved a range of personnel and administrative motions in public session.","taxTitle","BAY SHORE UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",66416,"location","New York","headline","shortSummary",{"_32":75,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":76,"_40":77,"_42":78,"_44":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6232414,"Bay Shore district outlines reconfiguration of special-education classes to spread services across schools",347,1398000,1745000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3426178-f9440ca5076761e2811f1e622e584269&start=1398&end=1745","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3426178-f9440ca5076761e2811f1e622e584269/thumbnail_1398000.jpg","/articles/6232414/New-York/Bay-Shore-district-outlines-reconfiguration-of-special-education-classes-to-spread-services-across-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6232414-2850077b8989921be453d5ccfa4fc830/orig.mp4?Expires=1769818731&Signature=SeuRUTFRGYUcd0jtDYbJ6oUKbXPLv7JsTD89VsvbK4BeoVk9-YhVlApHKUosJUH0PBQHEMxTGTgOugPOTeA35MYiiTKkTSDGV2CwwiPkvwyeCiyxZ-KuCxqk3QPP6AWW4FL-0-IIf36Bhi0i1KceGLM9tryr7QIbO5tuB-N5MQWSMOhAq7P9yTNPLxPhyr9Lwc95OIBFXd2vuaVc1w8-SrQYjyjshS3aogQqulEGQRaQtkIrs8H4APnM8MhWEeT6~eMRj6YVG16M8DSyP3kAUxSuVNyrh4kLqEoBTLCgtwGgo84UqP-~iVlwMHGgou7Y-cGdNdLG~5KQ9V0sfVxmZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bay Shore Union Free School District special-education administrators presented a multi-year plan to redistribute specialized classroom programs across district buildings for the 2025–26 school year, saying the changes are intended to reduce student travel, balance class sizes and embed related services where students attend.

The presentation, led by Dr. Endes and Miss Rivera, explained that the UPK Center will open another 8:1:1 class and transfer one classroom to Mary G. Clarkson School; Mary G. Clarkson will also resume a K–2 developmental 12:1:1 class. Brook Avenue will host ABA classes for students zoned to Brook Avenue. South Country will add a third 8:1:1 class. Gardiner Manor (third-grade developmental classes) will receive a 12:1:1 third-grade developmental section, and the middle school’s two 8:1:1 sections will be reduced to one for the coming year with positions moved to South Country.

District staff said the goal is to “start to spread these programs out” so that students increasingly attend services in their zoned schools and so comparable programs can collaborate in the same building. Dr. Endes told the board the plan is intended to avoid concentrating programs “all in one building,” which creates space and resource bottlenecks. She added, “It’s just gonna take probably about 2 or 3 years to get to there.”

Administrators described three program types and why placement matters. 8:1:1 classes provide highly individualized instruction with heavy communication and therapeutic supports for students who may be nonverbal or require intensive behavioral support. 12:1:1 developmental classes use alternate, performance-based curricula and center-based small-group instruction. 12:1:1 general-assessment classes follow a modified regular curriculum at a slower pace with more repetition and accommodations.

Staff said class-size and enrollment numbers informed the moves: the K–2 developmental 12:1:1 at Mary G. Clarkson was described as “approximately 11” students and will be near capacity, and South Country had “more than 16” children slated for 8:1:1 classrooms, prompting the addition of a third section. The Gardiner Manor third-grade developmental class was described as starting with five students and expected to grow; South Country’s parallel class was described as starting with about 11 students and likely to phase down over time as cohorts shift. District staff emphasized decisions were made to minimize transitions for students already placed in programs.

Board members and staff discussed the staffing and support needs that accompany these placements: behavioral consultants, speech-language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and adequate classroom space. Administrators said the redistribution aims to build collegial supports—teachers and related-service staff working in proximity—so specialized staff can consult with peers and reduce program isolation.

No formal vote on these placements was recorded during the presentation; staff portrayed the plan as an operational reconfiguration to be implemented over multiple years as enrollments evolve. The district also noted that some moves reflect current building capacity while other adjustments will be phased as cohorts progress through grade bands.

District officials said families whose children are affected will receive program-specific placement communications and that staff tried to limit disruption by making some placements “pure” grade cohorts (for example, a third-grade-only developmental class) when feasible. Administrators emphasized that program expansion requires not only teachers but the suite of related-service providers and suitable space.","District special-education staff presented planned classroom relocations and program growth for 2025–26, including new 8:1:1 and 12:1:1 sections at UPK Center, Mary G.

Resident Betsy Flanagan told the board she appreciated the student recognitions earlier in the meeting but said community members continue to encounter confusing or unreadable budget materials. She said she asked the board for a clearer brochure explaining the budget and that district responses directed her to attend a board meeting rather than providing a clearer written product. Flanagan asked the board to consider producing clearer budget summaries—including percent changes for line items—and to hold town-hall style briefings on policies and the district’s safety work so the broader community can be better informed.

A parent named Mark Boeshin (transcript spelling) said he had submitted a letter about his daughter’s request to attend the Long Island High School for the Arts and asked the board for a response; board members replied that individual student matters are not addressed during public board meetings but assured the parent the letter would be taken and that the district would respond through appropriate administrative channels.

Board members responded on process: a member suggested that residents who have detailed questions submit them in writing to the district clerk ahead of meetings so the board and administrators can research and provide answers rather than responding off the cuff. The board also said letters sent to the district clerk are distributed to board members. Flanagan said that clarification was useful because an earlier meeting left some community members uncertain about how correspondence is handled.

No formal board action was taken during the public-comment period; speakers requested clearer outreach and timely administrative responses to individual requests.","During public comment, residents asked the Board of Education for clearer budget brochures and more accessible communications about district policies and safety measures; a parent also said she had submitted a letter about her child's application to Long Island High School for the Arts and sought a timely administrative response.","actionData","errors"]
