Votes at a glance: Hendrick Hudson board approves agenda items, donation, BOCES budget and other measures
Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Hendrick Hudson Board approved the meeting agenda, accepted a $2,000 donation, approved the Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES tentative administrative budget, certified two BOCES trustee choices and approved a district budget-transfer and other standard business items.
The Hendrick Hudson Central School District Board of Education recorded the following formal actions on April 22, 2024. Where a roll call was recorded in the transcript, that information is noted; where the public record did not provide a named maker or vote-by-name, the result is summarized as recorded.
- Meeting agenda: Motion to approve the meeting agenda was made and approved by the board (recorded as "all in favor").
- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda after pulling fiscal item 6.4.1 (budget transfer) and the assistant-superintendent terms item for separate consideration.
- Donation: The board accepted a $2,000 donation from Manhattanville College to support the high-school water-quality/living-shorelines science program. Motion and second were recorded and the board voted in favor ("all in favor").
- Assistant superintendent terms (separate action): The board approved terms and conditions for the appointment of Lauren Collins as assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment (see separate article). A roll-call was conducted and one board member recorded a dissenting vote.
- Budget transfer (fiscal item pulled from consent): The board approved a year-end payroll budget reclassification described in the meeting as a multi-million-dollar transfer to reclassify payroll for the current year. District staff explained transfers were consolidated after an internal line-by-line review and said the reclassification does not increase total budgeted payroll for the year; the motion to accept the budget transfer passed.
- Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES tentative administrative budget: The board approved the tentative administrative budget for the 2025–26 BOCES year in the amount of $12,136,000. A motion was made, seconded and approved.
- Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES trustees: The board cast its votes for two trustee candidates on the official BOCES ballot. The candidates listed were Frank Schnecker and Tina Mackie; the board recorded its votes for both candidates as part of the certification process.
- Other: Routine motions (approving minutes, standard consent items not pulled) were approved during the consent process; the board also approved routine meeting adjournment.
All formal outcomes listed above were recorded in the meeting transcript. Where roll-call was conducted (assistant superintendent appointment), the transcript recorded a single dissenting vote; other approvals were recorded as unanimous or "all in favor" during the meeting.
