The Brentwood Union Free School District Board of Education held a meeting on November 21, 2024, where community engagement and upcoming events were key topics of discussion. One of the highlights was the announcement of the annual tree lighting ceremony, scheduled for Friday, December 13, from 6 PM to 8 PM. This festive event will take place near the monument, with activities planned along the route from the Vos entrance to the Sandling entrance, encouraging community participation.

During the meeting, there was also a discussion regarding the postponement of a decision related to a specific agenda item. A board member suggested tabling the matter until June, emphasizing that no immediate decision was necessary. This approach aims to allow for further consideration and community input before any final vote is taken.

The meeting concluded with a call for audience participation, reinforcing the board's commitment to transparency and community involvement. The session wrapped up with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a collaborative atmosphere among board members and attendees.

As the district prepares for the holiday season and continues to engage with the community, these discussions highlight the importance of local events and the board's responsiveness to community concerns. The next steps regarding the tabled decision will be revisited in future meetings, ensuring that stakeholders remain informed and involved.
