The Manhasset Board of Education approved its consent agenda, which included a settlement/release agreement involving the New Hyde Park–Garden City Park Union Free School District and a resolution to approve the district’s response to a draft audit by the state Comptroller.

Board President said the settlement with New Hyde Park–Garden City Park Union Free School District was “standard business as usual.” The board also approved a resolution authorizing the district’s response to a draft Office of the State Comptroller audit report; the board was advised the audit remains at the Comptroller’s Office and has not been made public.

Gerard (staff member) said the response must be filed immediately after the meeting. “As soon as it's approved, I'm gonna run back to my office and submit it. And then we'll we'll mail it,” Gerard said. A board member added: “We're gonna put you on a clock. Alright, Tyrone? We're gonna see how long it takes you.”

Why it matters: the transcript shows the response to the draft audit must be submitted to the Comptroller’s Office without delay; the audit report itself was not public at the time of the meeting. The settlement item was framed by trustees as routine and was approved as part of the consent agenda.

Action and next steps: the consent agenda was approved and staff were directed to submit the audit response immediately. The transcript does not record a numerical roll-call for the consent agenda vote; the board confirmed the motion and then entered executive session.

Ending: The board moved into executive session after the public meeting concluded.
