The Hendrick Hudson Central School District Board of Education took the following formal actions at its Aug. 13 meeting.
- Shared decision making plan (202526#x2013;26): Motion to approve the districts shared decision making plan passed by voice vote. The plan is a required review under New York State statute and the board approved minor adjustments recommended by the district shared decision-making committee.
- Consent agenda and donation: The board approved the consent agenda, which included routine items. The board also approved an anonymous donation of $924.26 to the scholarship fund to help partially fund summer camp for students with significant needs.
- Grievance resolution (Hendrick Hudson CSEA level 4 grievance, received 06/17/2025): The board adopted a resolution denying the associations level 4 grievance consistent with a decision dated Aug. 12, 2025, and directed the district clerk to issue that decision to the superintendent and the association president.
- Policy first readings: The board conducted first readings or first-reading revisions on multiple policies. Items presented for first reading included: parent and family engagement (Policy 1900), organizational meeting (2210), promotion and retention (4750), student records (5500), observance of religious beliefs and student expression (new policy), admission of international students (7133), multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS, Policy 7212) and staff use of personal devices (Policy 9115). The board waived further reading where permitted and anticipated returning the policies for subsequent readings and votes at upcoming meetings.
Ending: For votes decided by voice, roll-call tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript. Where the transcript recorded specific instructions (for example, issuing the grievance decision to the parties), the board directed staff to carry out those orders.
