The Brentwood Union Free School District Board of Education on May 21 approved a bundle of personnel actions, renewed and authorized labor agreements and created a new administrative position.
The board voted to approve certificated and noncertificated personnel reports, authorized a renewal agreement with the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) and approved a memorandum of agreement with CSEA Local 1000 AFSCME, AFL‑CIO to appoint existing level 2 and level 3 teaching assistants as mentors in the district’s teaching assistant apprentice training program.
The board also voted to create a full‑time, 11‑month school transportation coordinator position effective May 21, 2025, reporting to the assistant superintendent for finance and operations, to be paid under the negotiated agreement with the Brentwood principals and supervisors organization. The board appointed Jenny Carrera as principal (elementary) on a three‑year probationary term beginning Aug. 18, 2025, through Aug. 17, 2028.
“Be it resolved that upon the recommendation of the superintendent of schools, the board of education hereby approves the certificated personnel action report contained in the board packet for the 05/21/2025 board meeting,” the board motion read during the meeting packet votes. The motions to approve the various items were followed by the board’s unanimous “aye” confirmations and the chair’s statement that items were moved.
The memorandum of agreement with CSEA specifies that appointments of level 2 and level 3 teaching assistants as mentors will be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in board policy 9240 and that the apprentice training program is offered by the district under the auspices of the New York State Department of Labor. The renewal agreement with the CSEA Employment Benefit Fund is dated April 28, 2025.
Board members moved and seconded the motions on the consent and personnel agenda and the superintendent’s recommendations were adopted as presented. Where salary or step information was referenced, the board indicated compensation will be “at a salary set forth in the negotiated agreement” between the district and the Brentwood principals and supervisors organization; the meeting packet was cited as the controlling documentation for salary schedules.
No amendments to the substantive terms of the CSEA agreements or the probationary appointment were recorded during the public portion of the meeting. The creation of the transportation coordinator position will be reflected in the district table of organization and the position will report to the assistant superintendent for finance and operations.
The board’s actions complete the personnel and labor items listed under agenda section D‑1 for the May 21 business meeting; implementation tasks such as executing agreements and updating the table of organization were described as next administrative steps.
