Baldwin board approves consent agenda, Title IX policy reads and district plans
Summary
The Baldwin Union Free School District board approved routine business including minutes and financial reports, adopted Title IX and data‑security procedures, approved the district professional development and guidance plans, authorized regional data‑privacy agreement use and named an honorary superintendent and an external nomination.
The Baldwin Union Free School District Board of Education approved multiple business items during the meeting, including routine minutes and financial reports, policy adoptions, and district plans.
Early in the meeting the board approved the minutes of the May 7, 2025 board meeting (motion moved by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Doresca) and acknowledged receipt of the treasurer’s report for the month ending April 30, 2025 (moved by Mrs. Green, seconded by Mrs. Kools). Later, by consent, the board approved a bundled set of business items described in the Friday mailing as items 03 through 46.
On policy, the board held reads and adopted harassment grievance procedures under Title IX and related exhibit definitions; the motion to adopt those items passed after a read and vote. The board also adopted policy procedures for information and data security breach and notification (procedures 8635) after a motion by Mr. Smith and second by Mrs. Kools.
The board approved the District Professional Development Plan and the revised District Guidance Plan for the 2025–26 school year; both plans were noted as reviewed by committees of school counselors and administrators and cross‑referenced with New York State Education Department Commissioner’s Regulations 100.2(j).
The board approved the Committee on Special Education (CSE), 504 and Committee on Preschool Special Education service recommendations covering December 2024 through May 2025, and it approved the Home Tutoring and Special Education Service Report for the month as detailed in the Friday mailing.
The board authorized the district to use a regional consortium portal (ROC) to negotiate and accept vetted vendor data‑privacy agreements for the 2025–26 school year; the ROC was described in the meeting as a Nassau BOCES‑related consortium that maintains a vetted vendor portal for data‑privacy contracts.
The board designated Superintendent Dr. Shari Kamie as honorary superintendent of schools for Baldwin Union Free School District and granted her continued access to district email and servers as part of that honorary designation.
Finally, the board passed a resolution nominating Charmise P. Desiree for the position of Area 11 director on the New York State School Boards Association Board of Directors for the term Jan. 1, 2026–Jan. 31, 2027, and authorized the district clerk to send the nomination on the board’s behalf.
