Donna Downing described Policy 56.85, currently at stage 2, as guidance that came \"down from the New York State governor's office\" and said the policy spells out procedures when interior temperatures reach 82 degrees and then 88 degrees, including moving instructional activities to air-conditioned spaces when necessary. The board agreed to move the policy to stage 3 at the next meeting.

Board members also discussed the policy currently referenced as Policy 73.717 on student use of phones and electronic devices. The policy will be renamed \"Use of Internet-enabled devices during the school day\" to clarify that non-district Internet-enabled laptops and devices are included; Downing said the significant change is that only school-issued Chromebooks will be permitted while other personal Internet-enabled laptops would not be allowed under the revised policy. That item was also moved forward for the next meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Reorganizational Meeting and Public Work Session - Tues., July 1, 2025 at 5:30PM","oneSentenceSummary","The board moved two district policies forward: a maximum interior temperature policy (currently at stage 2) will move to stage 3 for further consideration, and the student device policy will be renamed and clarified to cover Internet-enabled devices and limit use to school-issued Chromebooks.","taxTitle","ROCKVILLE CENTRE UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",55785,"location","New York","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6180441,"Superintendent welcomes student representative; district receives $2,000 Special Olympics grant",92,2378000,2470000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5119257-3e8643c99baae5d0a60a34e023bdf3ec&start=2378&end=2470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5119257-3e8643c99baae5d0a60a34e023bdf3ec/thumbnail_2378000.jpg","/articles/6180441/New-York/Superintendent-welcomes-student-representative-district-receives-2000-Special-Olympics-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180441-29ec33015a29c3f149019cbb8b257e1b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141654&Signature=YHIoZqKi9sKMKWJBfBqlyNOAtBdXix7yV7UFmMi0REMHE6fnPMlx2cBY8p4pd3YFMp-9wGcTV4vO8TGaQgrWRjcg4-hPiDHUD1A~ElpL7hTDlpava0d47cEDBj9r1rnz6vn-C473mR23bj5Ocqw87QOV3zURiY-BNQbjmE3HONfY-E4FRzsI~HzeQ-wJJoaFwav9tJucfjcBVZeTVCrtimNc4ZflHIwSme4udDhz5yutLr1Ohfc0BpehGOF-mI~a5BM-om8GZNY9SPeOEXV9nKKcKwL2bn-WKQ3c2-FmegGLgLMsVAUWe8Bn6CVTnwbSSbxZSaebiT70ST2aOV~n5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Matthew Gavin introduced Cali Mann as the board's ex officio student representative and publicly welcomed her to the 2025–26 school year.

The board also sworn in Matthew Gavin as superintendent of schools and appointed Mary Lou Salabirdi as district clerk, Miss Rinaldi as treasurer and Jacqueline Rehak as deputy treasurer for the 2025–26 school year.

Board members took a motion to appoint the Board of Education to serve as the district's audit committee for the 2025–26 school year; that motion carried by voice vote and the members recited the audit committee oath.

The oaths administered at the meeting invoked support for the constitutions of the United States and the State of New York, consistent with the standard oath language used for district officials.
