Votes at a glance: Victor BOE approves agenda, consent items, trips and weapons policy
Summary
The Board held routine votes Thursday: approval of the meeting agenda, acceptance of consent items (including personnel retirements), rescinding one overseas trip, approving several student trips, and adopting a weapons policy under the Gun‑Free Schools Act. Vote tallies were announced by voice and motions carried.
The Victor Central School District Board of Education took several formal actions Thursday, including routine approvals and a policy adoption.
The board approved the meeting agenda and accepted the consent agenda (items 6a–6h), which included personnel actions and a list of retirees expected at the end of the school year. The consent items were approved by voice vote with the board announcing "motion carried." The personnel retirements listed on the consent agenda included Karen Vericchio, Don Zuber, Maggie Elliott, Holly Knox, Tanya Angelina, Paula Smith, Colleen O’Neil and Janice Werner (scheduled to retire at the end of the school year), as noted by a board member during the consent‑item discussion.
The board rescinded an approved student trip to Spain and Portugal that had been scheduled for June 30–July 10 (grades 9–12); the motion to rescind carried by voice vote. In a separate vote the board approved several student and activity trips: the outdoor activities club to Lake Placid (Feb. 27–Mar. 2), DECA to Rochester for the New York State DECA Career Conference (dates listed on agenda), Victor Robotics to the FRC Buckeye Regional Competition in Cleveland (Apr. 22–25), and the senior student wind ensemble to Hartford, Conn. (Apr. 24–27); the motion carried.
On policy matters, the board completed a second reading and adopted policy 8131 (Weapons in School and Gun‑Free Schools Act policy). The board also conducted a first reading of a new school volunteer and visitors policy (policy 1901); that policy will return for a second reading at a later meeting.
Where motions, seconds or individual vote tallies were not recorded on the transcript, the board announced approval by voice vote with "aye" responses and declared motions carried. No roll‑call vote tallies were provided in the public transcript for these items.
