The Board of Education approved a first amendment to the June 7, 2023 employment agreement with Superintendent Paul E. Manzo after a motion and vote at the meeting. "Be it resolved that the Board of Education of the East Islip Union Free School District hereby approves a first amendment to the 06/07/2023 employment agreement as amended between the board of education ... and superintendent Paul E. Manzo," the meeting record states. The motion was made by Mr. Dorgan and seconded by Mr. Zachary; the board voice vote was recorded as "Aye."

After the vote a board speaker thanked Manzo and said the board "decided to extend Mr. Manzo's contract by 2 years," adding, "So after this year, we'll have 2 more years." The transcript does not specify the amendment's effective date, the new contract end date, or the motion text beyond the approval language above.

Why it matters: Amendments to a superintendent's employment agreement change leadership tenure and may include salary or performance provisions; the excerpt in the transcript records the approval but omits the amendment text and any related budgetary or performance details.

What remains unresolved in the record: The transcript does not include the amended contract terms, whether compensation changed, or a roll‑call vote with members' names beyond the recorded motion, second and unanimous voice "Aye."
