The Wantagh Union Free School District Board of Education approved routine business items and accepted donations in a series of voice votes during its meeting.
Board members voted unanimously to approve meeting minutes, personnel appointments and multiple contractual authorizations listed on the agenda as items G1–G12 and G19. The transcript records the board president calling for motions and then asking "All in favor? Aye," with no roll-call votes recorded.
The board accepted several donations for school programs and events. The transcript lists the following donations and values: $300 from Duanto School District extra classroom activity funds for an International Thespian Society overnight field trip; $560.85 from the Mandalay PTA for transportation to Bayview Freeport; a volleyball serving machine valued at $3,500 from Noah Smitelli for the athletics department; and multiple donations of $500 each from Driftwood Day Camp, Sandra Simpson Insurance Agency, 1 to a Century LLC and Long Island Plastic Surgical Group for the Wantagh Warrior 9/11 Memorial 5K run. Dunkin' Donuts donated $1,000 and Jovia Financial Credit Union donated $2,000 for the 5K; Costas Cheliotis and Katarina Mutanos donated $5,000 toward the event. The listed donations total $14,360.85.
The board also approved policy revisions and the district-wide safety plan (agenda items H1 and H2) and approved two items listed under new business (I1 and I2). The transcript does not include details of the contractual authorizations, the specific personnel actions beyond that they were approved, nor the substantive text of the new-business items; those details were on the meeting agenda but not read into the record in the provided transcript.
Motions were moved and seconded as recorded in the meeting transcript; recorded practice was voice approval rather than roll-call tallies. "All in favor? Aye," the presiding officer asked at multiple votes; the transcript does not record any nay votes, abstentions or recusals.
