Summary
The Bay Shore board approved a motion declining participation in development of any regionalization plan and will notify the state before the January 15 deadline.
The Bay Shore Union Free School District Board of Education voted Wednesday to decline participation in the development of a regionalization plan.

A motion and second were recorded and the board responded "Aye," carrying the motion. The board did not record mover or second by name on the transcript and did not read a roll-call tally in the public discussion; the board president or a board member said the district must notify the state by Jan. 15 and that a drafted letter will be sent.
The vote was presented as a time-sensitive administrative decision; district staff said notification to the state had to be made by Jan. 15 and that a letter notifying state officials would be sent promptly. The board offered no additional comment and no vote tally by name was recorded in the public transcript.
