Gemma Salvia, principal of Seneca Middle School, told the board she was “humbled to be here tonight to honor and celebrate an extraordinary act of courage, quick thinking, and compassion.” She identified staff who assisted in the emergency: Diana Rose, who called for a nurse; Elvis Delgado, the school security guard; and Craig Paglukaf, the chief custodian, who retrieved the AED for nurses Diane McDonough and Michelle Casten. Salvia invited the person whose life was saved, identified in the meeting as Adha Conti, and Conti’s family to join the presentation.

Board members also publicly recognized long-serving staff and volunteers. Board remarks singled out Kristen Capel Eden, an assistant superintendent for personnel, and legal counsel Chris Venator, who is retiring; Ed McCarthy was introduced as the district’s new primary legal counsel for meetings going forward. The board presented honorary diplomas and plaques to departing board members and certificates to many retirees, including classroom teachers, nurses, custodians, bus drivers and central-office staff. A sampling of retirees named during the meeting included Janet Armandanza, Catherine Bezzetta, Suzanne Roehl, Patricia McDonnell (art teacher), Mark Lohr (radio station manager), Tom Pye (custodian), and Lola Hughes (speech and language pathologist).

The board noted that many retirees will be celebrated in a photo line and a reception after the meeting. Administrators said those retirements had been approved earlier in the meeting as part of the consent agenda.

The board’s recognition covered staff across schools and job classifications and paid special public thanks to the Seneca nurses and other staff credited with a lifesaving response. The district will follow up with formal acknowledgments to the individuals involved.","The board presented certificates to dozens of retirees and publicly thanked two Seneca Middle School nurses and supporting staff for using an AED and other emergency care that saved a colleague’s life.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6187713,"Sachem board pauses decision on gate at Mapleton Avenue entrance, asks administration for usage data",694,2803000,3497000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064637-25bacb71d763d628552378aa92422ba6&start=2803&end=3497","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064637-25bacb71d763d628552378aa92422ba6/thumbnail_2803000.jpg","/articles/6187713/New-York/Sachem-board-pauses-decision-on-gate-at-Mapleton-Avenue-entrance-asks-administration-for-usage-data","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6187713-4f29f8d48261e5959e445a012d20f0e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770942602&Signature=AYBoR-upTfT5vPjScH1oyi4gh~ivt6CUfLISAnOP1LkJS~1NRaSYJxkNElQjyM~fW-Bx4A3MH4zHj46vkYuZV~pF~7StDAjiVPv31IRiejI0kAdeTLW4A0OWNw-YKNattuXJSEbvMROLZczzgCIezzbGg3Oka8adKjc83BSrvxBO1hmN7i3PxA4zcUGTB6Rn8RfbbTdFi0dw2Cw4-5m-ca6RS2vOXFgcjwv4C6emxaOF3V6TIX3pq8I~JGQoA8zte-VgumY-WhC-tQk5uoTfbUfHY9hDJQNiT3QBLExCTFxzYEHlH7Hf~6YZEYPUs2ZNvGbVh75gXucx1wBsJdEiLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sachem Central School District Board of Education discussed a resident’s request to install a lockable gate on school property where Mapleton Avenue abuts Linwood School, but did not make a final decision. Board members asked administrators to gather usage data and return the item as old business at a future meeting.

The issue traces to an opening from Mapleton Avenue onto school grounds that a resident said is being used by drivers at drop-off and pickup and is causing damage to private property, including mailboxes and sprinkler heads. Board members noted the same resident had petitioned about 50 years ago to create the opening to make it easier for her children to walk to school.

Board members and staff described competing concerns: a resident asking for the gate to protect property and reduce fast driving near homes; students who live on or near the block who use the opening to walk to school; and the district’s interest in perimeter security. District staff told the board that town enforcement and repeated reminders had reduced usage. The board was told town no-parking signs and tickets have reduced parked cars on the street and that security and school newsletters have been used to ask families to be respectful.

Administrators said usage at arrival has fallen from roughly 15–20 families earlier in the year to “about 2 to 3” at arrival and “3 to 4” at dismissal, according to the community member who raised the complaint. Board members asked administration to confirm those figures with principals and security logs and to identify whether any students who walk live on the block and would be affected by a locked gate.

Several members urged caution about installing a gate that would force walkers to walk around longer routes or shift traffic to other neighborhood streets. Members also noted that the fence and potential gate sit on district property, not on the public road, meaning the board would control whether a gate is installed and locked.

Rather than act at the June 18 meeting, the board agreed to have administration collect data on current use, identify walkers who would be affected, and report back so the board can make an informed decision. The item was continued as old business and will return to a future meeting for a decision.

Ending

The board did not vote to install or to deny a gate at Mapleton Avenue on June 18. District staff will provide a usage report and related information to the board for a future decision.","Board members heard a resident’s request to install a gate between Mapleton Avenue and Linwood School property, discussed safety and access trade-offs, and asked district staff to gather counts and other information before taking action.","actionData","errors"]
