The board also scheduled first readings for several policy updates, including a revised cell-phone policy required by a new state law.

Donations: The board accepted multiple donations to scholarship and program funds. Major gifts recorded on the meeting record included a $25,000 donation to the Rafaela Panatelli scholarship from Oakland Trading Corporation, $5,000 for the James A. Barrego scholarship, $1,500 from Chestnut Market to White Plains High School, and smaller gifts to memorial funds and music programs. The meeting listed additional donors to the Ed Verte class of 1957 fund and noted an ice-cream donation for a senior celebration at Rochambeau on June 5.

Tax warrant: The board authorized the 2025–26 tax warrant. The motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the public audio records the board responding \"Aye.\" No roll-call tally was read into the public audio.

Stop-arm camera program: The board voted to approve participation in the City of White Plains school bus stop-arm enforcement program, an intergovernmental agreement intended to enhance student safety by enabling enforcement of motorists who fail to stop for school bus stop-arms. The board approved the agreement by motion, second and voice vote.

Personnel and tenure: The board recommended and approved tenure for five administrators and approved an amended extension for the interim assistant principal appointment at White Plains High School (Joseph Spiro) extending the appointment through Nov. 30, 2025. The board also approved award of tenure for five outstanding educators listed in the agenda; those names and roles appear in the public meeting record.

Policies: Several policies were presented for first reading, to return for later action. Superintendent's remarks noted a new state law restricting use of personal devices connected to the internet during instructional time (sometimes described in the meeting as a ban \"bell to bell\"). The district will bring a revised cell-phone policy for first reading at the board's July meeting after collecting stakeholder feedback; the superintendent described the law as \"pretty prescriptive\" and said the policy committee will align district rules with state requirements.

Votes and procedural notes: Where the meeting audio records voice votes the board responded \"Aye.\" Several items were moved and seconded with no roll-call tallies read aloud in the public audio. The board recorded routine recognition and retiree certificates during the meeting but took no board action on the public comment concerning a planned staff reassignment during the meeting.

The board's consent and individual action agenda items as read in the meeting record comprise the list of approved items; details and supporting documents are available in the meeting packet on the district website.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Meeting – June 9 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The White Plains City School District Board of Education on June 9 approved a package of routine actions including donations, the 2025–26 tax warrant, participation in a stop-arm camera enforcement program, tenure recommendations, and other personnel items.","taxTitle","WHITE PLAINS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",38507,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6513763,"White Plains board adopts 2025–26 districtwide safety and emergency management plan",384,443000,827000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067036-feabf75d065887ced50885909c84e9f3&start=443&end=827","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067036-feabf75d065887ced50885909c84e9f3/thumbnail_443000.jpg","/articles/6513763/New-York/White-Plains-board-adopts-202526-districtwide-safety-and-emergency-management-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513763-a01efe4d71d3459de4678b08a632a3af/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174849&Signature=PtXLHmyKzsOh1EYUEB2CoTdsw2SlZ~q901wOR6shwpQOhOA0PB6fMDNeUO0I24XxaaHus646uOfg8Y8tJaW-iwm4NUgbv-4teVLaRlDiva8NZr2bpU4XEdksMqEGd0yXnAs-jbANIqs6yYF2ovyG4DKbi9K4doxH5MUTq8E25nwGUn9G19DxkoupGyPrdTgHTe18vpYRIN6axDINrgNrfrhUZxgpq-420GwxT96Qf7RvnOevZrkzCuCTGNLYrZtb8xwOLZbRxmYfmvWuKaAG-Tt8-oVKaahGN1V9-K1aULgbtf2HUSD5bo3X20NiIkJUgUYlUIYuVG4VsFLePekCnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The White Plains City School District Board of Education on June 9, 2025 accepted the districtwide safety and emergency management plan and the school building-level emergency response plans for the 2025–26 school year after a public hearing and presentation by district safety staff.

Jeremy Harrison, the district liaison who works with consulting firm Alteris, presented the plan during the board's public hearing and said the district updated its approach after numerous changes to State Education Department guidance last year. \"We are well within the guidelines and rules and regulations of SED,\" Harrison said, adding the district has tried to \"stay ahead of the curve\" as SED guidance shifted several times and sometimes with short lead times.

Harrison described the plan as the product of districtwide work across personnel, technology and infrastructure and pointed the board and public to recorded quarterly districtwide safety team meetings posted on the district website for more detail. He credited White Plains City School District staff and partners — including district facilities staff and the White Plains Police Department — for supporting updates to protocols and implementation.

Following the presentation the board moved to accept the districtwide safety and emergency management plan and associated building-level emergency response plans for 2025–26. A motion was made, seconded and the board voted in favor. The meeting record shows the motion passed with the board voice vote, \"Aye.\" The board did not record a roll-call tally in the public audio of the meeting.

Board members and district leadership framed the action as routine annual review and acceptance of plans required by New York State Education Department guidance. The district will continue to publish updates and maintain recorded safety-team meetings for public review.

No formal amendments to the plan were recorded during the hearing. The board's acceptance was listed on the meeting's consent/individual action agenda and recorded as approved by the board.","After a public hearing, the White Plains City School District Board of Education voted to accept the districtwide safety and emergency management plan for the 2025–26 school year following a presentation from district safety staff and partners.",{"_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},6513756,"Parent raises concern about planned reassignment of MAS child psychologist; superintendent offers follow-up",366,3946000,4312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067036-feabf75d065887ced50885909c84e9f3&start=3946&end=4312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067036-feabf75d065887ced50885909c84e9f3/thumbnail_3946000.jpg","/articles/6513756/New-York/Parent-raises-concern-about-planned-reassignment-of-MAS-child-psychologist-superintendent-offers-follow-up","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513756-a2ff7790ee700bf562c78233f936baf7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174849&Signature=I2Gk2cHom5YO6g2I3BG6giwKukNJC2gWJ0elx63V-BEeFRwoW6v5oVIMIdcYo7yalUuLFGLdkRFX8FofCt8duoKkCXdcpLSZygq9sWpyiWvVOXZUxnkS3jDXOg9b6241xepDbVhJHOcnYpcGKVaVaMpf-26DVNSttQOcq8N9mVODhtZgsaKesDbGRYdnxAhARdGTtxSCP7pojkIsjQ9naNymQM~JveJE7Q3O4pqk0xUWQvRaqAgP~ebVFQMwAss7HJzM9a4hmg-meMCfy9AY8TBNKkcHulSWDOszhk4HKaGVVhdqLEuSnQgTrJaT1m0w9uY6EnLUvMJh7ImAqz5Etw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the White Plains City School District Board of Education meeting on June 9, a parent of a MAS student urged the district to reconsider a reported reassignment of a child psychologist who has worked with students at MAS for several years.

Renny Valentin, who identified himself as a parent of a student at MAS, told the board he learned that the psychologist who has supported his son would be reassigned to a different school next year. \"These kids develop a relationship with these child psychologists, and I don't want my son to go through what he went through after the first grade,\" Valentin said, arguing continuity matters for students with IEPs. He said he supports greater bilingual staffing but asked the district to add a bilingual psychologist rather than moving existing clinicians whose relationships with students are well established.

Valentin also said he understood the district's equity objectives but was concerned a move would \"devastate\" children who have built trust with their current psychologist. He asked the board to reconsider or to identify an alternative approach that preserves established relationships while addressing bilingual needs.

Superintendent Dr. Brady acknowledged Valentin's comments from the dais and offered to follow up personally. \"I responded to you and hopefully we'll be able to connect if you want to talk tomorrow or whenever it's good for you,\" Dr. Brady said. The superintendent's response in the meeting audio invited further conversation and did not announce any immediate personnel changes or board action. No formal board vote or personnel action on the reassignment was recorded during the meeting.

The transcript also referenced a clinician named \"Dr. Martouche\" at MAS and noted the district's intent to address bilingual needs; however, the meeting record did not include a formal staffing motion or timeline during the June 9 meeting. The superintendent invited the parent to meet with district staff to discuss the concern and next steps.","During public comment at the White Plains Board meeting June 9, a MAS parent urged the district to reconsider moving a long-term child psychologist from MAS to George Washington, citing the impact on students with IEPs and requesting bilingual coverage instead of displacement.","actionData","errors"]
