Summary
The Wantagh Board of Education approved a donation from East Coast Camps LLC of stadium field lights for the main turf field at Wantagh High School, estimated at $500,000–$600,000, during its Jan. 23 business meeting. Several routine contractual and personnel items were also approved.
The Wantagh Union Free School District Board of Education on Jan. 23 approved a donation from East Coast Camps LLC of stadium field lights for the main turf field at Wantagh High School, with the district recording an estimated value between $500,000 and $600,000.
The donation was listed on the district agenda as item G 12 and was approved during the board’s business meeting after the board chair called for a motion; the clerk recorded general assent (“All in favor? Aye.”). The agenda grouped the donation among several contractual and administrative items that were also approved, including consultant agreements, a special education tuition agreement, a flood insurance renewal, a la carte price increases, disposal of obsolete books and a stipulation of settlement.
The agenda description gave the estimated monetary range for the lights but did not specify installation timing, vendors for installation, or any contractual conditions tied to the donation. The board did not record a named vote tally in the meeting transcript for the donation item; the motion was approved by voice vote. Other agenda items in that group were carried by the same voice-vote sequence.
The meeting record shows the district accepted routine motions earlier in the agenda as well, including approval of minutes, financial reports, personnel items and committee recommendations. The board moved to adjourn at the close of business following organizational reports and public remarks (no public comments were offered at the podium before adjournment).
The donation will be part of the district’s facilities inventory; further details about installation, timeline, or any required board or vendor approvals were not specified in the meeting record.
