Board approves agenda block, tables items, and reports library budget passed 152-25; Carmen Lloyd elected
Summary
Following presentations, the Westbury board approved most agenda items in a block vote, tabled several items for later action, entered executive session on personnel, and upon return reported the library budget passed 152-25 and Carmen Lloyd won an uncontested seat.
After opening with presentations and recognitions, the Westbury Union Free School District Board of Education conducted routine business, approving most agenda items in a single block vote, tabling three items for later action, moving into executive session on personnel, and then returning to approve amended facility-use items and report election results for the library.
Early in the meeting the board deferred formal votes on minutes until a full quorum was present and then called roll once four or more trustees were in the room. The board then sought to table agenda items 13d, 13m and 6I; Trustee Keynes moved to table, Trustee Wilson seconded, and the motion to table passed unanimously.
Later the board moved to adopt the 2025–26 budget and Proposition 2 (see separate coverage). After a block-motion process, the board voted to approve the remainder of the agenda items in one block; the motion to vote the full slate of items (excluding withdrawn and tabled items) carried unanimously.
The board then voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters; Trustees Quintanilla and Bolling moved and seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. The board returned from executive session and the district clerk reported results from the library district election: the library budget passed, 152 yes to 25 no, and Carmen Lloyd, who ran unopposed for a library-board seat, was elected.
After executive session the board approved item 6I (moved by Trustee Wilson; seconded by Trustee Quintanilla) by unanimous vote. The board also moved to amend items 13d and 13m to add a condition that organizations seeking building use must secure acceptable insurance; the amendment, moved by Vice President Ewing and seconded by Trustee Bolling, passed unanimously, and the amended items were approved.
Finally, the board voted to adjourn by unanimous vote. The president told members and attendees the board expected to be in executive session no later than 11:00 p.m. and that there might be up to three votes on personnel matters arising from executive session. The transcript records those subsequent votes approving personnel-related agenda items (6I, 13d and 13m as amended).
