Board approves 21 teachers, 2 TAs and 1 administrator for tenure; multiple personnel and contract votes pass
Summary
The Westbury Board of Education approved a slate of tenure recommendations, confirmed a new probationary appointment, amended a vendor contract line item and completed several block votes; most actions passed unanimously or by roll call with one abstention on a separate item.
The Westbury Union Free School District Board of Education combined multiple personnel resolutions and approved them by roll call during its June action meeting.
The board approved a block of tenure recommendations — a package that included 21 teachers, two teaching assistants and one administrator — by unanimous vote after a motion to vote the three related resolutions together passed. Board President Robert Troiano announced the vote as unanimous.
The board also approved the probationary appointment of Jessica Andreotti Block to the Office of Pupil Personnel Services as a special education teacher; that appointment passed by roll call without dissent. Later in the meeting the board amended a separate resolution (agenda item 5I) to correct the contractor name from “Literacy Strategies Consulting” to “Transcendent Space Leadership” and approved the amended resolution unanimously.
One item (listed as 8S on the agenda) passed with an abstention: Trustee Michelle Wilson stated she was abstaining “due to family ties” and the clerk recorded the motion passing 6–0 with 1 abstention.
The board also moved into executive session to discuss a single personnel matter and reconvened later in the evening; motions to enter and exit executive session carried unanimously.
No new district‑level policy or budget appropriation was announced during the meeting; many approvals were confirmations of recommended personnel actions and routine contract extensions.
