The Board moved and approved consent agenda items, capital project resolutions including a negative SEQR determination and a $100,000 Peter B. Quevens project, disposal/donation of retired property, and personnel matters (07/01–07/25).
At its regular meeting the Board of Education approved a slate of routine business and personnel items and took several capital project votes. The board recorded votes and roll calls for key capital motions and approved timelines to bring voter proposition language forward.
Key actions taken (motion language summarized from the agenda and transcript):
