The Middle Country Central School District Board of Education approved its consent agenda Thursday, accepting minutes from multiple summer meetings, authorizing building‑level emergency response plans for the 2025–26 school year and clearing several routine authorizations, the board announced.

Board members accepted minutes from an organizational meeting on July 8, hearings and regular meetings on July 8, a special meeting on July 10, another special meeting July 31, a special meeting on Aug. 12 and a regular meeting on Aug. 27. The consent agenda also included item 25‑09‑SR‑1 (building level emergency response plans for 2025–26), 25‑09‑SR‑2 (agreement modification), 25‑09‑SR‑3 (authorization to represent Middle Country as a voting delegate at the virtual NISBRA annual business meeting) and 25‑09‑SR‑4 (authorization to attend NISBRA annual convention and education expo).

Board members voted “all those in favor? Opposed? Motion carries” for several items; the transcript records that board member Michael Halleck abstained during the consent‑agenda vote. The motions were recorded as carried; the meeting transcript does not provide a full roll‑call tally for each item.

The board also conducted a second reading of district policy 8505, titled “Meal Charge and Prohibition Against Meal Shaming,” which the board advanced by recorded motion and was announced as carried.

Superintendent and board housekeeping notes included reminders to check committee assignments and set meeting dates for committee chairs. Public input was solicited and none was recorded during the public input period.
