The Hauppauge Union Free School District Board of Education voted 7-0 Jan. 20, 2025, to enter an executive session "to seek legal advice from the board's attorney," the board's presiding officer said.
The motion to go into executive session was made by the presiding officer (not named in the transcript) and was seconded by Missus Scritto, a board member.
