Board authorizes Section 75 disciplinary charges for multiple employees

During the Sept. 17 meeting the board voted to authorize the district to prefer disciplinary charges under Section 75 of the New York State Civil Service Law against multiple employees, as recorded on the meeting agenda.

The board approved motions authorizing Section 75 charges against employees identified in the meeting by initials: J.B., J.D., and N.B. (as recorded in meeting minutes). Each motion was called and the board recorded the motion as passed in open session for the personnel matters listed on the agenda. The motions authorize the district to initiate formal disciplinary proceedings; the meeting record does not include additional facts, charges, or outcomes of the proceedings.

As these are personnel actions, the board did not provide substantive details in the public meeting about the allegations. The motions authorize staff to proceed under the statutory process; subsequent steps, hearings and outcomes were not announced at the meeting.
