Board approves IEP recommendations, home instruction, multiple contracts and committee appointments
Summary
The Massapequa Union Free School District Board of Education approved a slate of motions Tuesday, including IEP recommendations, home instruction approvals, committee appointments, contracts and policy updates.
The Massapequa Union Free School District Board of Education approved a package of routine motions and contracts Tuesday, passing recommendations on IEPs, home instruction, committee appointments, contracts, several construction change orders and policy updates by voice vote.
Votes at a glance (selected unanimous approvals): the board approved IEP recommendations and home-instruction placements; appointed staff and community residents to a new athletic advisory committee for 2024–25; authorized a memorandum of agreement with the district’s school lunch personnel union (AFSCME, Local 1000); approved tuition-reimbursement payments under the teachers’ collective‑bargaining agreement; adopted updated board policies (policy 8113, “extreme heat condition phase,” and revised policy 1120, “school district records”); accepted a donation for a McKenna Senior Center brunch from Friends for Life Home Care and Medicaid Consultants; authorized multiple contracts and bids including cafeteria HVAC upgrades (Aims to HVAC Inc) and paint and supplies bids to five vendors; and approved change orders for the Birch Lane and Fairfield fuel-oil tank removal projects ($5,000 each to GC Environmental Inc).
The board also approved a motion directing district leadership to send a letter opposing Assembly bill (assembly bill number read into the record) that would expand DASA coverage to include school board members; the board said it will begin advocacy on that measure and to coordinate with association partners.
Most routine items were approved by voice vote with the board president calling for “All in favor? Aye.” The minutes show the board handled the bundled contract approvals and construction change orders after committee review (buildings & grounds, budget & finance) and the board president thanked administrators for preparing the contracts for board action.
A complete list of motions approved during the resolutions portion (as recorded in the meeting) appears below.
