Board approves consent agenda: contracts, donations, personnel and affiliations

The Board of Education approved its consent agenda at the March 26 meeting without a recorded roll-call vote in the transcript. The consent agenda included: a health and welfare services contract with Plainview-Old Bethpage for a Three Village resident attending a private school there; acceptance of two donations (a $500 check to a scholarship fund and a wooden chest to Minnesauke Elementary School); declaration of surplus equipment; affiliation agreements with Baylor University and the State University of New York at Buffalo for clinical placements; an updated list of impartial hearing officers; recommendations from the Committee on Special Education and Committee on Preschool Special Education; and a range of personnel items covering instructional and non-instructional retirements, resignations, leaves, substitute appointments and extra-duty assignments.

The superintendent's office and human-resources staff described routine details: donations noted, surplus items listed (including an old check-folding machine and a dishwasher), and multiple retirements and resignations accepted. Personnel approvals included additional instructional retirements (two teachers and two teaching assistants), seven instructional resignations, one instructional leave, nine instructional substitute appointments, spring coaching appointments and other hourly/daily assignments; five non-instructional resignations, one non-instructional leave, six non-instructional appointments and seven non-instructional substitute appointments.

The meeting record shows a motion and second were made and the board approved the consent agenda. Specific mover/second names and a roll-call tally were not recorded in the publicly read portion of the transcript.
