Board elects Grant Tuck president, Joanne Chan vice; approves multiple appointments and one-year superintendent extension

The Great Neck Union Free School District Board of Education on a 5-0 vote elected Grant Tuck board president and Joanne Chan vice president and approved a slate of personnel appointments, including a one-year extension of the superintendent’s contract.

At the reorganization portion of the meeting the board nominated and then voted to elect Grant Tuck as president and Joanne Chan as vice president; both elections carried unanimously. The board then passed motions, each by a 5-0 vote, approving the appointment and swearing-in of the district clerk, the assistant district clerk, the district treasurer and the deputy treasurer. The board also approved the personnel appointment of Jamie Sanfilippo as building athletic director at North High School as part of the personnel agenda.

Separately, the board voted 5-0 to extend the superintendent’s contract for one additional year. No board member recorded a dissent or abstention on the motions recorded in the transcript.

The meeting included the customary oaths of office for the elected officers and the district officers after each appointment was approved. Several appointees spoke briefly during their swearing-in; the transcript records customary responses and acknowledgements following the votes.

Board members also approved the consent agenda and accepted donations and scholarships by unanimous vote earlier in the meeting.

The actions taken in the meeting were procedural and administrative: officer elections, staffing appointments, acceptance of donations, approval of consent-agenda items and an extension of the superintendent’s contract. The transcript records no amendments or follow-up tasks attached to these approvals.

The board set its next regular meeting for Aug. 28 at 7:00 p.m., according to the meeting record.
