Board accepts several donations, approves appropriation changes and confirms field trip approvals
The Board accepted multiple donations and approved appropriation changes during the meeting. The recorded donations include a $600 gift from the Rotary Club of Islip to help offset the Interact Club advisor stipend for the 2025–26 school year; a $2,259.75 donation from the high school store to purchase a commercial refrigerator for the high school store; an in‑kind donation from Gibbons Pools to repair the pond at a school (estimated labor and materials cost $15,000); and an outdoor bench from the Conequot Elementary School PTA valued at approximately $815 to be installed by buildings and grounds.

The meeting record lists revenue and budget codes for the high school store donation but the transcript text for the budget code is unclear. The resolution accepting the high school store donation states the revenue code to be increased is A2705.000 and references a budget code that is not clearly transcribed.

The board also approved appropriation changes for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 school years by motion of Mr. Dorgan and second by Mr. Zachary; the voice vote was recorded as "Aye." The consent agenda, which covered items 8.2 through 8.18, was approved by motion and voice vote.

Field trips: The transcript records that a field trip for eighth‑grade students to historic Boston, Massachusetts, May 19–21, 2026, was on the consent agenda and thus approved; a separate proposal was made by the mock trial advisor, Miss Lester, for the East Islip mock trial team to attend the Empire Mock Trial Tournament in Chicago Nov. 7–10, which the transcript presents as a proposal and does not show as approved in the excerpt.
