Board approves tax anticipation notes, facility waivers, Juneteenth agreements and other consent items; consent agenda passes
Summary
The Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included a tax anticipation note resolution authorizing up to $60 million in TANs, facility-use waivers and multiple memoranda of agreement; the tax note resolution passed in a 7–0 roll call vote.
The Middle Country Central School District Board of Education approved a series of consent-agenda items and a separate tax anticipation note resolution during its June 11 meeting.
Most consent items were moved and carried without recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. Key items mentioned in the meeting record include:
- Tax anticipation note resolution (25-06-F-28): The board adopted a resolution authorizing the issuance of not-to-exceed $60,000,000 in tax anticipation notes in anticipation of taxes to be levied for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The roll call was unanimous: Miss Parisi, Mr. De Benedetto, Miss Feldman, Miss Haggerty, Mr. Halleck, Miss Mann Rodriguez and Miss Schirach each responded “yes,” and the motion carried 7–0.
- K.25-06-SR-1: Long Island Little Dragon Chinese School — waiver of facility-use fees (policy 1500) for the 2025–26 school year at no cost to the district. Motion moved and recorded as “motion carries.”
- K.25-06-SR-2: Transportation to child-care locations for the 2025–26 school year. Motion moved and recorded as “motion carries.”
- K.25-06-SR-3 and K.25-06-SR-4: Memoranda of agreement (MOAs) related to Juneteenth for maintenance unit and for heads/chiefs unit; motions passed and were recorded as carried.
- Policy 25-06-PO-1: First reading of policy 9580 (unaffiliated staff benefit package) — board moved to waive the reading and the motion carried.
The board accepted the consent agenda earlier in the meeting; a general motion to accept the consent agenda was made and the chair announced “motion carries.” The transcript does not list mover/second names for most consent items; the only recorded roll call in the meeting transcript was for the tax anticipation note resolution and resulted in a unanimous 7–0 vote.
Why it matters: The tax anticipation notes provide short-term borrowing to cover cash-flow timing before receipt of property-tax revenues and can be a common fiscal tool for school districts. MOAs and facility waivers affect operational details for partner organizations and employee terms for Juneteenth-related arrangements.
