Board approves 12 resolutions and several personnel items; IEP and home-instruction approvals included
Summary
The Massapequa Board of Education voted to approve a slate of resolutions including IEP recommendations, consultant and construction contracts, roof and restroom projects, transportation contracts and personnel actions during its February meeting.
The Massapequa Union Free School District Board of Education on Feb. 4 approved 12 resolutions and multiple personnel items during its regular meeting, including IEP recommendations, home-instruction placements, consultant and construction contracts, and several facility projects.
The board voted, without recorded opposition, on a group of routine and project-specific resolutions. Actions included approval of IEP recommendations, home-instruction authorizations, a consultant contract, a memorandum of agreement appointing Edward Hoffman as interim athletic director pending the return of the regular athletic director, tuition-reimbursement awards, and a series of construction contracts for demolition, roof restoration and toilet renovations.
The vote outcomes were announced in sequence during the meeting. The board approved the IEP recommendations and the list of students for home instruction. It authorized the business office to provide tuition reimbursement upon receipt of satisfactory proof of course completion. The board awarded a demolition and abatement contract at Hawthorne to United Safety LLC, awarded roof restoration projects at Eastlake and Hawthorne, rejected the Fairfield roof restoration bid for rebidding, and approved toilet renovations at Hawthorne. The board also approved transportation contracts for several school trips and a consultant contract documented in the board packet.
Board President (unidentified in the meeting transcript) called for motions and recorded unanimous “Aye” votes on each item; no vote tallies listing individual board members were entered into the transcript. Several motions were seconded; mover and seconder names were not captured in the public record provided.
The board also approved a personnel action earlier in the meeting that covered multiple certificated and non‑certificated appointments and retirements; the board president confirmed the motion and recorded the vote as approved. Retirements and individual personnel names were read later in the meeting as part of a recognition segment (see separate article).
The board packet and attached memoranda referenced with each resolution were noted during the motions. Where the board directed a rebid (Fairfield roof), it stated the project will be reviewed and rebid. The memorandum authorizing the athletic director interim appointment names Mr. Edward Hoffman and directs the board president to sign the agreement.
