The Pittsford Central School District Board of Education unanimously elected Jeff Casey as board president and reappointed Sarah Palacio as vice president at its June 17, 2025, reorganization meeting, following administration of oaths of office and a series of routine organizational votes.

The board swore in its district clerk and newly re-elected members, then approved the agenda and the reorganization slate. Robin Scott, a board member, nominated Casey and praised his prior service and experience: “I am confident that his capacity to listen to community stakeholders, his thoughtfulness, insightfulness, and steadiness as a leader will make him an outstanding president.” The nomination carried unanimously.

Why it matters: the votes set leadership and committee assignments that will guide district policy and oversight for the 2025-26 school year, including legislative liaison roles, audit oversight and district operations oversight.

Board members also read and adopted the board’s governing mission statement and a communications agreement intended to clarify how members communicate with each other and with the public. The board executed its annual code of ethics at the meeting.

The board announced committee assignments for the coming year: Monroe County School Boards Association representation and committee placements, district board committee rosters for legislative liaison, teacher center policy board membership, audit oversight, district advocacy, community engagement and an ad hoc policy committee. Specific assignments named the members who will serve on each committee for 2025-26.

The meeting included routine business taken on the consent agenda: acceptance of the treasurer’s report for May 31, approval of transportation contracts with Monroe 1 BOCES for both extended school year and the regular school year, authorization of a restated municipal cooperative agreement resolution, and several personnel and support-staff actions listed on the consent agenda. A budget transfer to fund Barker Road cabling and the PA system also passed.

The board moved into executive session later in the meeting for the employment of particular persons and expressed appreciation to outgoing board president Robin Scott for two years of leadership. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Aug. 12 at 5 p.m.
