Board approves personnel items, auditor appointments and schedules executive‑session discussion
Summary
The Saugerties board approved routine personnel items including resignations, leaves and appointments, granted two tenure actions and accepted auditor appointments; the meeting also moved into an executive‑session discussion on bargaining and personnel.
At its May 6 meeting the Saugerties Central School District board approved instructional personnel items, accepted auditor reports and approved appointments for external and internal audit services.
Among personnel business the board considered a package of instructional items including resignations, a leave of absence and multiple appointments. The board also voted to grant tenure to two employees; the transcript lists one as Seth Toman and references a second as Melissa (last name not specified in the record). The motion for those personnel items passed on a voice vote.
The board’s audit report segment, presented before the business items, summarized the annual internal risk assessment. The internal auditor noted turnover in the business office as a current risk mitigated in part by retired staff returning to assist; the audit recommended additional staff training on cash receipts, disbursements and purchase‑order procedures. The board accepted the external auditor’s reappointment for the coming years (term described as roughly three to five years) and approved a contract for Nugent & Hausler of Montgomery, New York, to serve as the district’s internal auditor beginning in 2026.
The meeting also included a motion to enter executive session “for the purpose of discussion of bargaining and negotiation and specific personnel matter.” The board recessed to executive session and later reconvened in open session; no further public actions were reported after the executive session.
The board accepted standard business items (treasurer’s report, revenue and appropriations statements and extra classroom activity reports) and set future calendar reminders including the May 20 budget vote and the May 27 affidavit ballot count.
The personnel and audit approvals were routine and reflected items listed on the board’s consent agenda; the meeting record shows voice votes of “aye” on the personnel motions and the audit appointments.
